Maybe This Only Amuses Me – Burns And Allen Skit
My dad recently sent me a DVD of various episodes from the influential 1950′s variety show Burns and Allen. Starring George Burns and Gracie Allen, this skit is a very well-written gag in which the guys try to skip out on a double date with the ladies in favor of seeing a boxing fight. They attempt to confuse their wives with a fictional card game and watch the video for the result…
this was funny
nothing like what comedy is like these days though and thats a good thing.
it had its charms and is something i just put to the top of my queue on netflix.
thanks
cool!
it’s the first piece of media i’ve ever ripped and posted on youtube.
i’m officially a pirate!
but not the cool kind.
that was pretty great. I like the older sort of comedy a lot more then the new, generally. (Still trying to track down Horsefeathers).
Say… I wonder if this is old enough you can merchandise off of it. I would buy a “You forgot about the spinning jack.” t-shirt in an instant. xD
hey, i’m really glad you like it. i thought it was hilarious too.
and yeah, old comedy actually had to rely on good writing because they couldn’t get away with the shock value crap of today.
