Stephen Wright:

“I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn’t park anywhere near the place.”

“For my birthday I got a humidifier and a dehumidifier. I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.”

Been watching some old Abbott and Costello movies lately - Costello was a master of physical comedy and while lots of the humor was broad, he could muster some of the most marvelous, subtle funny expressions ever.....

Sad that he went in that direction. His early stuff was a riot. Thanks for updating me.

I totally agree about Wodehouse, once I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair, I think it was while reading Uncle Fred Flits By. Jeeves, Mr. Mulliner, the Drones Club, and all the rest have given me hours of fun.

Netflix streaming video has 8 episodes of “The Bob Hope Comedy Hour” from the early 50s. Really fun to watch.

Scripted comedy is brilliant when the writers and deliverers are quality. But there is nothing funnier than someone really clever just ad libbing to whatever is going on. And I laugh every night listening to the great Tim Conway Jr on the radio on the way home. I don’t remember his dad’s comedy too much, but he is just a very funny man. Real, self deprecating, pretty conservative too. His quick wit makes even the 405 freeway traffic bearable.

Well, it’s not mutually exclusive—there are comedians who are also jokes.
Didn’t you ever see David Brenner?
