Dec 4, 2008 - He may be talking about Bing Crosby, though I don't know why, since crosby was a singer.

Dec 4, 2008 - no not limited to race. anything that makes people feel naughty. much why shock jocks seem to be in such demand. the whole, omg i can't believe he said that routine. granted, sometimes those things are hilarious, but at the same time, i miss jokes like flip wilsons joke about the woman and the ugly baby. i dont see why sex, the word fuck, shit, or the like should be dirty anyway. the ending to meaning of life explains it.

mistereveready Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - i guess the good thing about innuendos is that people can interpret them differently. they make people think. but, many people seem not to want to think. basically the choice of being ultra blunt, or leading into a joke. both can be good, and both can suck badly. one of the reasons im not a fan of kennison or eddie murphy.

Dec 6, 2008 - Dick Cavett: Let's walk and talk. I, uh, I have some wonderful stories about other famous people that include me in some way.Homer Simpson: Er, can't, I gotta go distract bulls at a rodeoDick: Hey, me too. We can go together.Homer: Um...no, I'm going a different way than you, Dick.Dick: Heh heh, your...churlish attitude reminds me of a time I was having dinner with Groucho and --Homer: Look, you're going to be having dinner with Groucho tonight if you don't beat it.

Dec 7, 2008 - It is almost depressing to hear Groucho complaining about poor quality humor BACK THEN, just look at the 'comedies' now: sex jokes, toilet humor and gay jokes.That's not to say that those things aren't funny but Groucho says it perfectly that that sort of humor takes no talent!

tanukibrahma Says:

Dec 9, 2008 - I wonder how Groucho and Sarah Silverman would have gotten on.

zebracardeath Says:

Dec 10, 2008 - sorry, family guy...

oobah2 Says:

Dec 24, 2008 - how prophetic.

hunnybfly Says:

Dec 24, 2008 - I agree with what he says about dirty comedy and he is one of the funniest people I've seen on the screen. However, he was not without his flaws. I can't tell you how many times I cringed with some of his sexist comments on You Bet your Life.

Dec 25, 2008 - When is this from?

locksmithite Says:

Dec 26, 2008 - he's damned right!!!!any hack can use filthy humor to get cheap laughs, but to make people laugh with clean humor requires a talented skilled comedian.

bouzoukifan Says:

Dec 27, 2008 - A Great and talented comedian who is right with everything he says here.

md448 Says:

Dec 28, 2008 - we need him now more then ever

highlife899 Says:

Dec 31, 2008 - lol you dont see people smoking ina tv studio no more

sillywabbit1349 Says:

Jan 1, 2009 - the marx brother were filthy for their time!!!and i'd rather see someone say fuck than smoke!no one ever died from swearing!

PistoltheGreat Says:

Jan 3, 2009 - Psssh, please its a cigar he's not inhaling the smoke. He also lived to the age of 86. To me fuck is just a word and it doesn't mean anything nowadays its so overused.

jeepersfreepers Says:

Jan 5, 2009 - That shows how much you have been indoctrinated. You think health issues like cigarette smoking are the evils in society. Public moral decline doesn't even faze you. You are probably concerned over evil global warming too. Government schooling has brainwashed you.

usergently Says:

Jan 5, 2009 - Groucho IS and WILL always be the MAN!

DA90027 Says:

Jan 5, 2009 - Yes worry about the F word while everyone around you gets cancer from smoke! LOL too ironic!

sillywabbit1349 Says:

Jan 6, 2009 - your right and i think you should smoke more, and don't bother with those nanny state filter tips either, there really mini tracking devices so the govenment knows where you are!!!!

darebinroad Says:

Jan 6, 2009 - Hey sillywabbit, I've never smoked in my life, but I'm still going to die some day.Also, PistoltheGreat is right, you don't inhale cigars.

MusicJew158 Says:

Jan 6, 2009 - What's wrong with cursing ? they are just words and should never offend. Only actions that negatively affect others should offend

sillywabbit1349 Says:

Jan 7, 2009 - well i was mainly making a point about swearing by comparing the two, not so much an attack on smoking..i've smoked cigars, and oddly i started smoking a pipe then went to cigarettes, stopped around 11 years ago, i do miss my sunday cigar, a king edward imperial while watching a film... though i also miss my pipe, it had character, but risk versus reward makes a mockery of tobacco, mouth cancer etc, nicotines affect on the heart, i do smoke cannabis sometimes, now that is reward Vs risk!
