VEN (HOLLYWOOD) — Chanting Fat Man Bad and Justice For Alice, scores of angry Social Justice Warriors — many dressed as vaginas, diaphragms, and ligatured fallopian tubes — marched through West Hollywood Wednesday calling for an end to male cis-gendered institutionalized comedic violence against women.

"How sweet it is!"

I think that was Broderick Crawford.

Above is a short video where Ralph talks about how wonderful the Christmas season is, then goes out of character and wishes the audience a Merry Christmas.

I always thought he was satirizing himself, and convincing everyone that women need refrigerators. :-)

Alice: we get our revenge.
Ralph: how can a woman possibly get revenge on a ma n?
Alice: we marry you!

I had the privilege of sitting in the front row at one of her book signing tour stops in Chicago ca 1994. Seemed like a delightful lady. She died about two years later.

I thought he was an interesting character - Jackie Gleason. He grew up in circumstances that were very rough - an effective abandonment that you would think would lead to great insecurity, and then he worked his way up with humor that played against those circumstances. The lunch bucket bus driver, Ralph Kramden was classic. Some of his pantomime of bums and hobos worked, as I remember it from my childhood. His Reginald Van Gleason III send-up was very funny schtick.

The last thing I recall seeing of him was a 60 Minutes interview done in the mid 80's -not long before he died. You had the sense that all the booze and smoking had produced the expected result, and it seemed he wasn't that happy. Which was unfortunate given all the laughs he had provided.

It seems a number of comedians that make so many laugh, are, in the own personal lives, very unhappy people.

Supposedly Edmund Kean the great early 19th century English actor said this on his deathbed, “Dying is easy. it’s comedy that is hard”.

To the Moon, Alice...What a great Show...

Johnny Fever? Herb is definitely a goner.

They don’t get it. When he said “To the moon, Alice” he was encouraging her to be the first female astronaut.

And used in a great movie, “My Favorite Year” starring Peter O’Toole.
