You're printing it on regular printing paper is the problem. Try printing it on toilet paper and it'll work fine. In fact, you won't be able to tell the difference.

My posting of the Last Supper picture, where the police are telling Jesus and his disciples they had break it up because they had too many people at their gathering, was taken down in less than 6. How is the above not just as offensive in the same vein? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. When I was told directly they were taking down my Last Supper because of complaints, I was okay with it. I had a hard time seeing how one could be offended by what I put up. But, if that was the case. I was okay with them taking it down. Then the one of Jesus rising from dead comes up, and it stays? No one complained about that? It's really doesn't offend me in general. But, I think it would be seen as more crass with some of a certain persuasion, than my posting was. I just don't get it? That's all. But, then again there are a lot of things I've never got. And probably never will. Edited April 13, 2020 by unclescott58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand though, it's not too much different most places now. Edited April 13, 2020 by Ace-Garageguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I enjoy a little funny now and again. The Carol Burnette skit still ahs me laughing. To many relatable people in the family I guess. I think the real reason is we are all getting a case of Cabin Fever. I just went to the market today just to get out of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the Tim Conway elephants out take? Never made the air, but I do so love that one.

I don't recall the Elephants out take but I'm sure it's funny as anything that Tim Conway was in always was. If he was playing of Corman all the better. Have you ever seen the two of them on the commercial air liner together ? Done as only those two could. This particular Hospital Bed seen just reminds me of mostly my wife's mother and one of her sisters. The best was when Smothers gives the "mother" a big lippy and she never breaks character, and later she's pushing his hair peace back on the top of his head.

Besides the use of the words this were true comedians that knew how to use what used to be called the "Sight Gag". Carol always seemed to have the top Hollywood talent of the day. They would have a loose script and were encouraged to improvise if they wanted. She would have actors on the show and you would think of them based on parts they had played or what ever their persona was in your mind. Then in the middle of a skit they would say something so out of caricature everyone would lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) What I find funny is that the dialog (the story) itself is not really all that funny, but the audience is so riled up and chuckling that the laughter infects the actors too. Think about it: remove the audience laughing, and just have Tim reciting the story by himself. I wouldn't find it particularity giggle-inducing.

Beside the total insanity of this segment, I think it shows just how potent timing is to any comedian. Tim had absolutely the best timing in this I have ever seen. Let them almost recover from their laugh and hit them with another one. Eventually they all wind up on the floor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda reminded me of one of the old "Debbie Downer" bits on SNL...or the classic "More Cowbell." Half the fun of that one was watching Jimmy Fallon and Horatio Sanz try to hold it together during Will Ferrell's big speech...and not quite manage to.

Yes, a large part of the bit is the priceless reactions of three other actors trying to hold it together and shoot the scene as scripted and ultimately failing miserably. Also the total deadpan last line just tears it up. Actors could study this thing for years and not be able to recreate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
