Goldberg Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 I'll let the other people fill in the rest: fav. drama, romance, etc. But, I'll start out with my favorite catagory.

Bucktunes Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 For me, it's a tie between Planes, Trains, And Automobiles and Uncle Buck. I sure miss John Candy. What a funny guy he was. He could get you laughing your head off without ever telling a joke. Same with Bill Cosby. He gets more laughs with gestures and facial expressions than most comedians get with jokes. I used to like George Carlin before he got off on this atheist crusade that he seems to be on lately. His way of making fun of the absurdities of common expressions and stupid things people do is hilarious, but he's gotten too angry and bitter for my liking anymore. I mean, I sympathize with him losing his wife a few years ago, but there's no reason to be so mad at the world for it. Life goes on. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Peace all, Steve ><> Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played his records until there was nothing left of them...back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth and the used friction to reproduce sound... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif The Chicken Heart That Ate New York would probably still kill me... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steadyb Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 I could fill this page with all the great comedians who are my faves, but a few of the top ones for me are (in no particular order): Jerry Lewis Jonathan Winters Marx Brothers Woody Allen George Carlin Richard Pryor Bob Hope Bill Cosby Milton Berle Phil Silvers...

My dad bought that for me shortly before I had my tonsils taken out. I made him promise me I could have all the ice cream in the world I could eat! "Take me where I'm supposed to go now! You can cut off my whole NECK for some CHOCOLATE ice cream!" By far the funniest routine I've seen ANY comedian do is on Cos' "Himself" video when he does the bit about going to the dentist. The first time I saw that, I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe! In fact, I'm laughing now just thinking about it. Come to think of it, that whole concert was a riot. Probably his best to this day. I think I'll watch it again on my nexy day off. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Peace all, Steve ><> Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With". The title track took up a whole side, and me and my friends used to listen to it endlessly when I was in third grade... ....I wonder if that stuff is still available on CD... Thanks for the memories, guys... http://www.contrabandent.com/pez/otn/wink/thumb.gif dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansouth Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 The first two Steve Martin albums (Let's Get Small, Wild And Crazy Guy) are excellent as well. Are the Carlin records available in a boxed CD set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
