Sneakeater Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I know he didn't write it, but my 11- or 12-year old self thought that joke about Jesus coming out of the cave and seeing his shadow was the funniest thing we'd ever heard that didn't involve farts.

Wilfrid Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I am down a YouTube rabbit hole, I probably haven’t watched any of their material for decades, but wow is their stuff good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakeater Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I loved them so much in the early-mid '60s. As a boy, I thought they were hilarious. As a so-called man, I still do, I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakeater Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I mean, I thought it was so cool that "Smothers" rhymed with "Brothers". How did that even happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakeater Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Everybody in this clip who isn't a child is either old or dead. Tom Smothers, of course, is very freshly dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 You can go down an endless rabbit hole of their old clips on YouTube. I had forgotten how good they were, but I think I can be forgiven as I was watching them as a child. How did they get sidelined by comedy history?

Sneakeater Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) And to be clear, I really loved them back in the early ‘60s day, too. I mean, I too had a brother. Edited January 16 by Sneakeater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
