A...huh? Is this dada humor? Surely the legendary Mr. Fields told some actual jokes in his time?
Madigan has better routines than B, but she's one of the few modern stand-ups who makes me laugh fairly regularly. "Karn?" "say a novena for the bagel man..." Pretty funny stuff.

I liked A, it was probably too short to make a real impact, but the contemptuous way Fields delivered the punchline did make me chuckle.
B crashed on the rocks of cultural difference for me. I mean why would you want to buy bagels in Ireland in the first place..? It's like complaining about the lack of haggis in Bombay.

I liked A, it was probably too short to make a real impact, but the contemptuous way Fields delivered the punchline did make me chuckle. It's the absolute contempt in his voice, but also the utter ridiculousness of the situation - being woken up at 6 am by some fella in a suit and hat looking for a man named 'Carl LaFong'. Beautiful. It's the funniest thing ever and if you don't see that then you have no soul. |

I just watched that WC Fields movie a few months ago. One of the funniest things ever.

I'm baffled. Perhaps A is funny in the context of the film, and there's something missing here. But that's a really pointless clip. Why have there been so many clips without any attempt at humour? What's going on?
B doesn't seem very good, but she at least is attempting to do some kind of comedy thing.

A but only to avoid the wrath of flange by abstaining.

Both are ok, but neither really makes me laugh. A made me smile more.

I couldn't hear B over the audience. They were having a better time than me.When they stopped braying for a few seconds, I managed to get the gist. Waste of time. WCFields is the one I forgot when ranking the comedians in that other thread. This clip isn't perhaps the best illustration of it, but he's a 9/10 comic genius for me, a funny man and a physical comedian rather than a deliverer of other people's jokes. And a fucking great juggler.
A all the way
