Six of the Best

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were a phenomenon back in the day.
They started in the 1950’s and were the inspiration for Monty Python
and a plethora of other comedy groups that took the world by storm.
They were a duo for a while, drifted apart to do solo work and got
back together to do an occasional world tour every now and then.
Later in their careers they would appear in movies playing bit parts
where a well known face and voice enhanced the finished product.
All in all they had a great run, inspiring other comedians to follow.
This is a well known skit with Dudley playing the school headmaster
and Peter as the unrepentant student.
Gotta love the punch line…

Just Out for a Jog

This is a Michael Jr. classic.
He’s a pretty decent stand-up comedian, not a raging type
or an angry “wish I had not done that!” style of comedian.
He is straight forward, calm cool and collected, and very funny.
The classic with a video to go with it…

Bookshop

A classic from the best comedy sketch group that ever lived.
The back and forth between John Cleese and Terry Jones
is outstanding.
John starts off as professional as you can get.
Terry kicks in with his strange book requests and the spiral
into the abyss begins.
Some superb British reactions here, outstanding actually…

Being Tough

Red Green is the type of guy that when you first hear him
you think “smart as a whip, and twice as funny!”
After repeated viewing you start to think “Funny as a whip,
and twice as smart!”.
Which makes no sense at all until you realize you’ve gone
to him for advice and solace because you’re a married man
and you lost all your senses the day you said “I do!”.
He’s pulling for you, and that’s all that really matters.
Keep your stick on the ice…
