A wonderful little scene from a Mel Brooks classic.
History of the World Part #2 is being released as I
type this, and as such I feel compelled to bring you
this gem as a reminder that Mel is 96 years old and
still going strong.
History of the World Part #1 from 1981!
Bea Arthur is the woman in the booth,
Mr. Brooks is awaiting his unemployment hand out,
and Ron Carey is his agent.
Bea plays it superbly, Officer Levitt does a great job as
Swiftus and Mel is a top shelf BS artist…

I’m in the mood for some snark and bewilderment.
Greg Warren is a master of these applications, and
when he has his flow going it is a wonder to behold.
He has something to say about, and to, farmers.
Some great lines here…

This is a find.
I was going to post “The Frozen Logger”, a classic tune
from 1928 written by James Stevens and made famous
by many people, including The Weavers.
Their version has a certain charm to it, my go-to on the show.
Then I stumbled onto this version, complete with animation!
Cool Stuff! (pun intended…

A classic by one of the all time great comedy duos.
The Smothers Brothers are godlike in the world of comedy.
They have created superb comedy recordings over the years
and had a top rated television program that was as good as
it gets back in the late 1960’s.
Still alive and kicking, they no longer tour but their excellence
lives on.
This is a cute one, lots of faux sibling rivalry and gentle ribbing…

The late, great Richard Jeni was one of the funniest
stand-up comedians on the planet at his peak.
Top ten of all time, in my humble opinion.
This is a snappy, snarky look at one of his first
full time jobs…
