The crème de la crème of comedy
Jan 17th, 2011 at 8:53pm
 
I’m compiling a list of sketches which perfectly epitomise each of the great comedians and comedy teams who’ve graced us with their presence over the years. It’s entirely subjective, of course, but I’m forever looking for the piece that perfectly proves their individuality and skill.

Others may care to add links to their own personal favourites


Morcambe and Wise  -  Breakfast (to the tune of The Stripper)

The list is endless, obviously, and there’s no incorrect answers but which indidual sketch do you think  would best show off the talents of such comedy greats as  Charlie Chaplin, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Marcel Marceau,  Seinfelt, the Muppetts and so it goes on.

With luck it’ll be something unbelievable by some-one I’ve never heard of,  and all the world be a happier place.

I've got to nominate Foster Brooks and Dean Martin and the drunk Airline Pilot sketch.  Foster had Martin laughing so hard he couldn't say his own lines.

Then there is the old classic of Abbot and Costello "Who's on First?"

Edit to add:
Ray Stevens "I'm My Own Grandpa".  I know it is music rather than a comedy sketch, but it's funny.  Family Tree included.

This thread has been to much fun.  There are so many more to add, but I've got to go to bed sometime.
