I know that it was long before some of us were born, but we have all seen the reruns on the tube at one time or another.. Who was your favorite old time of all time?
I really liked the Marx bros,
Wanted to act like the Three Stooges - Woo woo woo
But my number one pick was the little Rascals! I used to have a voice like froggy when I went thru puberty! :o

The Marx Brothers. Definitely: "just remember, you're fighting for this woman's honour, which is probably more than she's ever done"

hahahahha, Little Rascals, that kid named Stymie and Froggy, didn't Froggy sing once? The 3 Stooges were really silly, Larry was pretty funny if you watched him closley, funny mannerisms and expressions (oftentimes of pain). I saw this Laurel & Hardy flick, Laurel got mad and his ears turned red and started wiggling, then he threw his fraternity brothers out the window, they looked like mannequins flopping through the air, laughed my as ;D off!!

I always wondered if guys like The Marx Brothers,Laurel & Hardy,3 Stooges were alive today,how would they perceive today's comedy to the yesteryear? All Of them would be at least 100-105 years old now. ??? ;D

By the way, on my trip to NYC last week, ran into Jackie Mason in the lobby of the NY Hilton and shook his hand. The lady I was with didn't know who he was, and Mr. Mason made a funny comment to that effect! Anyway, she later pointed him out on a big marquee on Broadway. Wasn't he a 50s comic?

For me, Laurel and Hardy were the best of that time. But Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and The Marx Brothers take some beating.
