Subject: Pie-splattered comedian Soupy Sales dies at 83

Written By: ninny on 10/23/09 at 7:07 am

Soupy Sales, the rubber-faced comedian whose anything-for-a-chuckle career was built on 20,000 pies to the face and 5,000 live TV appearances across a half-century of laughs, has died. He was 83.

Sales died Thursday night at Calvary Hospice in the Bronx, New York, said his former manager and longtime friend, Dave Usher. Sales had many health problems and entered the hospice last week, Usher said.

At the peak of his fame in the 1950s and '60s, Sales was one of the best-known faces in the nation, Usher said.


I remember him well from The Soupy Sales Show & What's My Line..R.I.P Soupy :\'(

I remember Saturdays "Lunch With Soupy Sales" .  It was great, he was a master of the double entendre.  RIP Soupy  :\'(

I believe that Todd Rundgren and David Bowie are probably going to be at his funeral since they both know Soupy's sons.

The news yesterday reported that Soupy had done something like 20,000 cream pies during his career.

A lot of grumpy parents DID NOT like Soupy.  He taught their kids the joke:  What word starts with F and ends with U-C-K?  Firetruck!

Why, grandma?  What word were YOU thinking of?

That was the fun of the joke.

This one doesn't really work in print due to pun, but one of the funniest moments in sixth grade for me was when Jason asked our English teacher, "Hey, what's long and hard and full of semen?"

Mrs. Curtis replied in a scowling tone, "Ohhh, Jason...."

Right on cue, as good as Soupy coulda done, Jason smirks, "A submarine!" (as in seamen)

Funnier than the joke was Mrs. Curtis, ready to send Jason to see the principal, was then lost for words, "Well, uh, that's...."  AND she was obviously choking back a gigantic belly laugh!
;D ;D
