That guy is Benny from an ancient soap opera called 'Crossroads', it was screened in the 70s & 80s I seem to remember.

 

Benny was literally the 'village idiot'....hence the comment 'a right Benny'

I'm thinking Benny Hill. Is that him? Shit if it is he looks like shit.

I have seen open heart surgeries on Discovery Health funnier than Benny Hill.

Amen. He is a lame fuck. But for some reason, Snafu, I have seen a lot of people say he was the only thing to come from England. lol

Fuck you. Benny Hill is a comedic genius. The only thing better when it comes to raw "slapstick" comedy is the Three Stooges.

I so almost bad repped you for that but just don't have the heart.

 

He is lame. There is NOTHING funny about that man. Simple toilet humor that looks like it sprouted from the mind of an adolescent boy.

That's the point. It's just like the Three Stooges, most women don't get it.

What does it have to do with me being a woman? I could handle watching The Three Stooges... when I was five. Benny Hill kills me though. Are you an adolescent boy?

It's an old stereotype. Women don't get the Three Stooges, and no I'm not an adolescent boy.

[Feckless Wench]

Women DO 'get' The Three Stooges' and Benny Hill CAN be amusing.....I guess it's all a case of culture.

 

The Benny Hill show has actually been sold to many countries throughout the world. I remember watching German TV when I lived there and seeing it being shown (VERY badly translated).

 

Perhaps it's the TV shows that are exported from a country that give others a false impression of the people from that given country.

 

Think about the shows exported from the US, do they give a good impression of Americans? DO other countries find American humour funny?

I liked Cheers, and I love SouthPark, and the Simpsons, and King of the Hill, and the Family Guy.

 

Hmmmm, all about dysfunctional family units, I guess.

Do you want to know why chicks don't like the Three Stooges?

 

 

 

They aren't funny.

 

Funny can be subjective, but I laugh all the way through American Beauty.

I thought that movie was fucking funny too.

 

I about pissed myself when he was all drunk in the living room and this dialogue happened...

 

Carolyn: Ah, whose car is that out front?

Lester: Mine. 1970 Pontiac Firebird. The car I always wanted and now I have it. I rule!

 

American Beauty, although labled a drama had a lot of "dry humor" which is a different type of humor then the "slapstick" humor of Benny Hill or The Three Stooges.

 

It's funny but a different type of funny.

I believe Benny died a lonely old bachelor, living with his mother. But he could pen a few funny songs. Like this one.

 

ERNIE (THE FASTEST MILKMAN IN THE WEST)

(Benny Hill)

Benny Hill - 1971

 

 

You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground,

And the clatter of the wheels as they spun 'round and 'round.

And he galloped into market street, his badge upon his chest,

His name was Ernie, and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

Now Ernie loved a widow, a lady known as Sue,

She lived all alone in Liddley Lane at number 22.

They said she was too good for him, she was haughty, proud and chic,

But Ernie got his cocoa there three times every week.

 

They called him Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)

And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

She said she'd like to bathe in milk, he said, "All right, sweetheart,"

And when he'd finished work one night he loaded up his cart.

He said, "D'you want it pasturize? 'Cause pasturize is best,"

She says, "Ernie, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest."

 

That tickled old Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)

And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

Now Ernie had a rival, an evil-looking man,

Called Two-Ton Ted from Teddington and he drove the baker's van.

He tempted her with his treacle tarts and his tasty wholemeal bread,

And when she seen the size of his hot meat pies it very near turned her head.

 

She nearly swooned at his macaroon and he said, "If you treat me right,

You'll have hot rolls every morning and crumpets every night."

He knew once she sampled his layer cake he'd have his wicked way,

And all Ernie had to offer was a pint of milk a day.

 

Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)

And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

One lunch time Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door,

It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four.

And as he lept down from his van hot blood through his veins did course,

And he went across to Ernie's cart and didn't half kick his 'orse.

 

Whose name was Trigger, (Triggerrrrrrrr)

And he pulled the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

Now Ernie rushed out into the street, his gold top in his hand,

He said, "If you wanna marry Susie you'll fight for her like a man."

"Oh why don't we play cards for her?" he sneeringly replied,

"And just to make it interesting we'll have a shilling on the side."

 

Now Ernie dragged him from his van and beneath the blazing sun,

They stood there face to face, and Ted went for his bun.

But Ernie was too quick, things didn't go the way Ted planned,

And a strawberry-flavoured yogurt sent it spinning from his hand.

 

Now Susie ran between them and tried to keep them apart,

And Ernie, he pushed her aside and a rock cake caught him underneath his heart.

And he looked up in pained surprise and the concrete hardened crust,

Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust.

 

Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)

And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

Ernie was only 52, he didn't wanna die,

And now he's gone to make deliveries in that milk round in the sky.

Where the customers are angels and ferocious dogs are banned,

And the milkman's life is full of fun in that fairy, dairy land.

 

But a woman's needs are many fold and soon she married Ted,

But strange things happened on their wedding night as they lay in their bed.

Was that the trees a-rustling? Or the hinges of the gate?

Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a-rattling in their crate?

 

They won't forget Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeee)

And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

It's funny but a different type of funny.

 

Well, dumbass, that is why I say funny is subjective.

 

Dark comedy is a better moniker for American Beauty. True to life circumstances concerning the human condition are a lot more entertaining.

I know, dumbass. That is why I was agreeing with you on American Beauty being funny, but I also find Stooges and Hill funny in a different way.

 

I wasn't arguing, I was just quantifying my earlier statement.

And I am quatifying my statement that most shit ain't funny. Really.

[ImWithStupid]

As you said, that's subjective to one's personality.
