Chevy Chase was a very funny fellow back in the day
when he worked with the National Lampoon gang.
Not to say that he isn’t now but he was a very good
comedy sketch man, leading, of course, to the first
year of Saturday Night Live, and beyond.
Here he is doing a skit that I like to play on the show…

Acting Dumb
This is a great piece of stand-up by Mike Baldwin!
I like his approach to the craft, laid back and yet right
there, in your face, tickling your funny bone.
That is NO…!

Why Michelangelo Didn’t Paint
the Last Supper!
This is a brilliant piece from Monty Python, a true classic
in EVERY sense of the word, both in word play and presentation.
Out of all the versions that are out there this is my favorite.
With Eric Idle as Michelangelo, Graham Chapman as the Pope’s
assistant and, of course, John Cleese as his Holiness…
The Jogger Song
Fred Wedlock was a British folk singer known for his sense
of humor, friendly nature and great performances.
This is a classic of his, a song for those in need of
exercise, and a pint…
Shaun Goes Potty
Not what you think! 🙂
One of the better StS episodes.
I dearly love this series, one of the funniest ever
and all WITHOUT dialogue!
A game of pool anyone…?
Introducing Tobacco to Civilization
by the great Bob Newhart!
The absolute master of the One Sided Conversation, he
has been on top of his game for many years now.
One of the last of the greats to actually chart a
comedy recording, this is a classic…
The Fortune Teller
A nice little comedy sketch by The Radio Free Vestibules.
One of Canada’s finest, they have carved a nice niche for
themselves in the world of humor.
A timeless pairing of the gullible and the con artists
that love them…
The Chainsaw Juggler
Gloriously performed by The Four Postmen!
This a great piece of lunacy that I love to play on the show.
Not only are these folks very funny but their musicianship
is top notch and they have superb chemistry.
One of the most requested tracks ever…
On Marriage
Henry Cho riffing on marriage and the myriad of consequences
contained therein. Henry’s a pretty funny guy and his take on
matrimony is quite humorous…
Winning Your Breakup
This is a great comedy sketch from The Upright Citizens Brigade.
I’ve always been a huge fan of a well done parody, this is one
of the better ones…
