A Comedic Genius

December 12th, 2008

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a fan of Dick van Dyke. I grew up watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins, and loved the Dick van Dyke show. The following are a few of my favorite clips. This first one was posted on YouTube yesterday by the fantastic Daniel Gardner:

Seeing bamboo always makes me chuckle as I think of this favorite:

Then being paired with the “practically perfect in every way” Julie Andrews led to some fantastic scenes:

And “The Art of Slapstick” is a classic as well:

Watching clips like these can never fail to make me laugh. :lol:

I’ve watched various Disney songs in other languages before, and I love hearing how the different languages sound, but those little mouse voices singing Hebrew…I just find it hilarious.

Victor Borge

I’ve been watching clips of Victor Borge on YouTube. Some of them are amazing, and some are hilarious, so I thought I’d post a couple.

This first one is just after he finished conducting a concert and was asked for an encore. He’s improvising with a song he’s heard before, but never actually played. It’s brilliant. :D

Then this “musical phonetic punctuation” with Dean Martin is hilarious:
