The one-liner is Tweeting before there was Twitter. Though I don't Tweet. I do occasionally whistle in my pants, however. I thought about Benny, but his comedy relies on his classic stare and presence. Steven Wright might work. Though he's sort of early George Carlin on downers.Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-43681333534921243312012-10-30T12:15:20.784-07:002012-10-30T12:15:20.784-07:00Ah, yes!

Must seem that way to all the bazillions of teenagers who think they're so clever to outwit them! Wink, wink!<br /><br />The Serling is mahvelous! I can immediately hear his voice and the soundtrack going right at the end.<br /><br />And somehow I knew you'd get in a Pinter reference right at the top. I can hear Joe Mantegna or Kevin Spacey chewing up the scenery delivering this review.<br /><br />The Youngman is so deliciously refreshing though. I vote for more one-liner comedian reviews: Jack Benny, George Burns et al. Even Steven Wright. <br /><br />More, please!Marcia Macomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07237764449953259939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-46787820359629232842012-10-30T10:04:27.980-07:002012-10-30T10:04:27.980-07:00So turns out, that breath of fresh air I've be...So turns out, that breath of fresh air I've been seeking for, was here all along.

Yeah, it was. I smoked one of Samantha'...Jimmy,<br />Yeah, it was. I smoked one of Samantha's discarded cigarettes afterward.<br /><br />Charlie,<br />The literary ones are not harder to write, necessarily. What's harder is finding writers that people actually know, and that I know well enough to quickly lampoon. They all read like failure to me, but I like the challenge of it. I, personally, like the Rod Serling. No idea why. Maybe I can just hear his voice when I read it, that great drone and pacing he had.<br /><br />The comedians that I do take me back to my comedy writing days when I would have to write material for different people all the time, and have to write in their style. Henny Youngman is fun because he just did stupid joke after stupid joke, short and rapid-fire jokes. I wrote thousands of jokes like that in my day. Usually one out of every twenty was good enough to actually deliver. I don't miss those days, but it's a great comedic exercise, and fun to write about wine in different comic's styles.Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-3450124867901486002012-10-29T09:00:04.731-07:002012-10-29T09:00:04.731-07:00I know that the longer entries are harder to write...I know that the longer entries are harder to write and better literature, but thanks for the Henny Youngman.
