Rowan & Martin Laugh In - Quickies #1

Feb 18, 2011 - Well, I saw some current American so called ' comedians' on the Joan Rivers 'Roast' and I just found them depressing. Just foul-mouthed crap which you can hear on any street corner or bar. No talent whatsover. Bored the pants off me. If you cant be funny, then at least be witty, but they weren't even that. Sad, given the wealth of comedic talent in the past. People say 'Everything from the past is better' because, in the main, its true ! Thats why there are teens at McCartney concerts.

Feb 24, 2011 - @Lester1Beck Absolutely correct.The comedy on our TV back then was great and today it stinks.But assuming that you're a Brit (because of your "yanks" reference) I've gotta tell you that *your* comedy ain't what it used to be either.Have you ever seen "The Inbetweeners"???

Mar 4, 2011 - @Lester1Beck I've watched British comedy, and it's not a a hair more high-brow.

Apr 24, 2011 - One of my all time favorite shows. My mom used the privilege of me staying up as late as 8 PM on a Monday night to get me to behave all week. I especially loved Ruth Buzzi, Artie Johnson, Dennis Allen, and JoAnne Worley. When NBC cancelled Laugh-In in 1973, I was devastated. An outstanding show packed with wacky fun, Laugh-In still casts a long shadow over TV for me.

Apr 26, 2011 - @Lester1Beck you mean George Carline, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, and Lenny Bruce?I am just 18 years old, however, you complaining that comedians today are too dirty is an extremely hypocritical statement. I can understand the appeal to this comedy since I personally LOVE Laugh In, however the stand up of the late 60s-early 70s era is about as clean as the under side of my boot

Jun 25, 2011 - Oh America still has talent, we just made the mistake of letting the population with the lowest IQ have buying power. And it turns out the big corps found more money there. Go figure.

Jun 30, 2011 - I wish they'd bring back the laugh track machine, it enlivened any show even dull ones. Most people don't realize R & M's show was all canned laughter, not one live clap or laugh. It sounds so fake and bizarre now even though i honestly loved the show way back when.

Jul 3, 2011 - "AM & FM!" "Have a walnetto!" Any reference to ABC. When Dan said "If they put it on ABC, nobody will watch it anyway!" they were referring to the show "Turn On" where half of the later Laugh-In cast like Theresa Graves came from. ABC cancelled it after the first commercial!!

Nov 6, 2011 - I always loved it when Lily Tomlin was that 'Mrs. Beasley', the proper and "tasteful" woman who liked things totally "tasteful'... The best was when Mrs. Beasley would get water thrown on her... hilarious.Lily's scenes on Laugh-In was always 'totally tasteful.'

mca1218 Says:

Feb 18, 2012 - That was the BRILLIANT punch line of a long series of blackouts where the other Laugh-In ladies all came up to Garner and actually say, "Mr. Garner, I'm a big fan, and I'd like to shake your hand." Then they pull a surprise lip-lock on him instead. So by the time Chelsea Brown comes to Garner, the dialogue has been changed to "I'm a big fan, but unfortunately all they'll LET me do is shake your hand." And he retorts "your place or mine? Have a walnetto!!" So clever!!
