Just revisiting one of my favorite comedy bits. A lot packed into 48 seconds with not a word spoken.

Isn't he great?
I've got the entire box set here-

Every episode he ever did!

When I know I am too tired to stay awake for a full length movie,
15-20 minutes of Benny Hill is always a nice way to end the day.

Benny Hill, yeah. That's my man! Magnificient face expressions! One can pick almost anything by him, and have a really good laugh. Which, by the way, is supposed to bring you a longer life, if the old tale is to be believed...

Ah, gotta love Benny Hill ;D. That is a classic bit.
 There is an old Get Smart episode or two that will be in my memory forever too. The one where they spend about 20 minutes of a 30 minute show trying to take Max through a revolving door on a gurney (sp?). I can't describe it, you have to see it.

Hi.
I just love it when our cousins over the pond get our comedy. ;D
Benny Hill is just one of many truly great comedians, that found their roots on stages
up and down the country.
TV enabled the world to share it.
Very funny. ;D ;D ;D

Cheers.  8)

Dave,
Thanks for that Get Smart piece ;D. Actually , I thought there was way more time devoted to the revolving door. It's only been about 40 years :-[.
It was still great.

Great clip - nothing but old Mopars parked on the street! ;D
I have the first two seasons on DVD - I'll have to see if that scene is in there.
