Title: Great classic comedy teams
Post by: Andymeets1880s on July 02, 2010, 01:43:39 PM
Afternoon, everyone!
I have been watching some classic comedy lately on Turner Classic and AMC and thought I would get your opinions on this subject. I didnt think this was enough to do an actual poll, but I was interested in your picks and comments for best comedy team. You have a pick of five. I am sorry if this leaves some of you younger folk out. No harm intended.  ;)

1. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis
2. Abbott and Costello
3. The Marx Brothers
4. Three Stooges
5. Laurel and Hardy

This is all in fun so no throwing fireworks at each other! Have fun!

HA! I knew that would throw you! :D A  big thumbs up for the Three Stooges for me. Nothing like three knuckleheads smacking each other around! Nuk, Nuk, Nuk! (I'm doing "The Curley Shuffle" right now!)

Whoa folks....how bout' this....I gave you a list of five and choices are being made from teams outside of the five I gave. We'll have a tournament of sorts. Please re-vote from the list of five and then I will put together another list of five with the ones that are being given. We'll see who comes out as champ from this list. Have another five choices later and then see who wins from the top two. We'll do this list until July 15. Then another five until July 31.

Ok?!

Gotta go with Abbott and Costello.  "Who's on first?" is a classic comedy routine, that is still performed today!

Out of your five, Laurel and Hardy set the bar.

Hey Andy, I can't believe you left out of your list the legendary SDC comedy team of Jae McFerron & Jim Dandy!  They were an absolute riot in the Christmas show at the Silver Dollar Saloon a few years back!   ;D

Laurel and Hardy are one of my favorites, however, I cannot pass up a Stooges short.
Favorite stooge....Jerome Lester "Jerry" Horwitz....Curly of course

I started this thing and then forgot to vote myself!

My pick (even though all are legendary):   The 3 Stooges!

I love all those comedy teams, and watch them whenever I get the chance.  But I'll throw a vote to the Marx Bros.  Their comedy being a little more cerebral, rather than strictly slapstick.

The score so far:

Three Stooges:     5
Abbott & Costello   1
Laurel & Hardy       1
Marx Bros.            1


We will do this list until July 15.  Next list will come on July 16.

I'll pick Stooges, but why only those five?
Title: Re: Great classic comedy teams
Post by: Andymeets1880s on July 08, 2010, 08:03:59 PM
Just for fun, salad. No real reason. I will put out another list of five on July 16 and let that run to the end of the month and then we will have a comedy team final for the title! LOL! The winner of this list against the winner of the next list.
