Come on...lighten up. You can't be serious about my hat comment. He, himself, was joking about it. I have great respect for Groucho and his brothers.

I don't think he resents them because they are dirty or not funny. I think he resents, as most old school comedians do, because they are easy. Like he said "to tell a clean joke and get laughs, that takes a comedian". They think it cheapens the art of comedy when the word fuck is every punchline. That's just my take because I've heard other comedians talk about the subject in that light and I do agree with them. It cheapens it, not because it's dirty, but because it's easy.

Yep, and here you are, spending your time, watching Youtube while someone who can afford a 3.2 million dollar hat is usually summering in Monte Carlo. Bless your heart.

he's right - a cheap laugh is easier by being rude

I actually disagree. It's pure hypocrisy he advocates. I do agree that 90% of sexual jokes are not funny (American pie is dreadful), but there are good ones. And sorry, but if you tell different jokes in mixed company, than you would tell only to men or only to women, you overslept for about one century.Anything(...), but mindless good taste.

yes you can compare but I think it's ridiculous. What's funny now is very different than what was funny then.

A termite walks into a bar and says, "Is the bar tender here?"Why did Bill Clinton name his dog Buddy? Because he didn't want to say, "Come, Spot".You be the judge.

Groucho saw a doidy boid, sitting on a doidy coib at toidy toid and toid. That's the most ridiculous thing I ever hoid.
