Actually, I remember watching the show as a kid, but I just looked it up, and I was still wearing diapers when it completed its run. So I guess we got some old shows?? I also remember watching Benny Hill. Those two shows are connected in my mind, but I hated Benny Hill because he was always chasing half-naked ladies with a horrible facial expression that disturbed me, as a child.
Oh dear! that makes me feel really old I was married with two young kids when Laugh in first aired. I still find Benny Hills' brand of seaside picture postcard humour funny today, but it is very British humour.
I can see as a young child it would not have appealed.

I never really considered Benny Hill to be typical of British humor. Dirty old men are universal!

I'm sure I can insult the hell out of Geoff if that will give you enough inspiration!

I was pretty young when it started and my mother "did not approve". occasionally I would sneak out of bed and watch, or talk a babysitter into it.

I almost used your line in it

"Zelda had a little lamb, the doctor had a cow..."

I was afraid it was too shopworn...

These thing just flow out of me at the oddest times. If you had told me I would have done a Laugh-In pastiche a week ago, I would have said. "Sure, right..." Then, all of a sudden, my subconscious said, "Here's the stuff, write it down." It's a most disconcerting experience, really....

But it's fun...

Benny Hill was a true classic and his humor will live on forever. As sign of this is that tributes to him have appeared on Robot Chicken and The Man Show.

Also, we must not forget "The Goodies" (Goodie, goodie, yum, yum).



It's great to see so many people remember "Rowan And Martin's Laugh-In." It was a show that was truly of its time.

Now, it's time for the Farkle Family!

Of course, here in the States we only got to see his shows long after they were off the BBC airwaves, but they were a riot! He was truly a clown in the best sense of the word!
