This explains how all animals want equal pay for equal work.

It's only 2 minutes so won't make a big hole in your day

Poor bloody monkey.  Ripped off!

You've possibly seen this one before.

That is a classic & still hilarious after all these years.

You can almost smell the stale booze on the breath, and it's worse from the bearded bloke.

The "bearded bloke", Foster Brooks, does a number of those "drunken" videos, where he is a dentist and a brain surgeon, among other professions.

Foster Brooks was a brilliant comedian who specialised in playing drunks. I love his performances, that was the days when comedy skits were simple, funny - and of course, mostly politically incorrect.

Compare that to todays young comedians who can't seem to utter 6 words without 4 of them being profanities - and their jibes are nasty, and borderline abusive. I don't find them funny.

I'll watch Foster Brooks, Deano, Mel Brooks, the Two Ronnies, or Dave Allen, any day of the week. Those blokes never fail to produce a belly laugh, and in many cases, they bring tears of laughter.

I introduced my kids to Dave Allen, Love Thy Neighbour, On the Buses and a whole lot more of YouTube.. They love them... I know we're (almost) all in the older age category, but most (not all) of the humour today is so unintelligent, it's hard to watch let alone laugh at.. However, there are still some gems, such as Would I Lie to You, and some of the comedians on quiz shows/satirical news shows.

You can't go past the Goon Show for the comedic use of the English language. This form of comedy where two ideas are brought together to get a laugh is well exploited by Milton Jones, obviously and English comic.

Aaah, the Goonshow.

I don't think my millennial grandkis would get it because it requires careful listening, which they aren't ver good at. It also requires the ability to visualise quite impossible scenes.

Goons are still great comedy, though.

One modern comedian I like is Al Murray. His profanity is prolific & he throws political correctness out the window, picks audience members to sometimes belittle & then praise, acts like a dill but is very intelligent and well versed in history. He does shows called the Pub Landlord & picks offbeat subjects and provides his own hilarious logic to what he asserts. He likes to rip in to Germans & the French.

 

Here is one short clip.

The French are more logical in many ways. Le Chat noir is the Black CAT but it's got the emphasis on cat not the colour. Pont Neuf is Bridge Nine.  It's possible to think in several languages, depending on your level of fluency and recent usage. Nev

They let logic out the window when it came to numbers though.  One to fifteen has unique names, but sixteen to nineteen are "ten-seven", for example ("dix-sept").

Then absolutely fine 'til 69  (get your minds out of the gutter) "soixante-neuf", but from 70 and onwards there's no name for the tens, so "seventy" is "soixante-dix" (sixty-ten), "seventy three" is "soixante-trieze" (sixty-thirteen), and from 80 it gets even weirder... "eighty" is "quatre-vingt" (four twenties), and "ninety nine" is "quatre-vingt-dix-neuf" (four twenties ten nine)!

After high school French and a seniors course I still cannot count to one hundred.

I find that a little frightening, Peter.

Impressive technology, though

[Marty_d]

On the same subject...

 

 

[nomadpete]

No contest, Marty.

There is some sort of flesh and blood mechañism inside those robots in your clip. That's cheating.

What do you expect?  They're storm troopers, not robots!  Storm troopers are flesh and blood too... covered in cheap bright white plastic armour that doesn't stop anything.  The Empire might've been better going with camo.

Y'mean like Donny Trumps Space Force?

 

My point was that true android robots are now being built - ones that don't need meaty humans inside to be able to dance or aim a gun.

[Marty_d]

There was a recent post-apocalyptic movie that used some killer robot-dogs based on those Boston Dynamics robots.  They were truly freaky.

Hope you are having a better day than these guys....
