Snoop Dog Not only are all top posters idiots, but they hate to use their real names. But there is no real anonymity on the Internet. Snoop Dog has an Internet address the same as I do. But like all cowards, they like to think they are anonymous and unreachable. They really are NOT anonymous and they ARE reachable. -- ****ing Regards, Ed Dolan - Minnesota |

Both worked the spectrum of their craft, both did great reaction bits, both did the physical comedy and both did straight set-ups. They also have little to do with ARBR because they were actually funny. Even decades later. I regard Laurel and Hardy as the greatest funny men who ever existed. I would say Hardy was basically the straight man and Laurel constantly played the fool. But it was Hardy who was truly funny. Fools are not really all that funny without the straight man. Fools in fact grow extremely tiresome after a bit. Physical comedy is extremely important and stand-up comedians and one liners, like Bob Hope, bore the hell out of me. A stand up comedian with his one liners will never make me laugh like Laurel and Hardy do. Hardy has always been greatly underestimated as compared to Laurel. Hardy was a comic genius. Hell Bells! He even looked funny. I appreciate your comment about the French having absolutely no taste at all when it comes to American comics and American films. Anyone who thinks Jerry Lewis was ever funny is a ****ing idiot. I actually do like French films but only the serious ones. Although "Rosetta" is a Belgian film, it is nevertheless in the grand French tradition of serious art films and I highly recommend it to one and all. The greatest Laurel and Hardy movies were those rather short reels from their earliest days. Some of them are truly classic. I submit that Laurel and Hardy would never have been the least bit funny without Hardy there to offset Laurel, the fool. I am never trying to be funny by the way, but I do mean to kill the god damn fools that seem to reside permanently here on ARBR. -- Regards, Ed Dolan - Minnesota |

Doofus complains: The secret to corresponding with idiots is to be as idiotic as they are. It is ever my role to play the straight man here on ARBR. But fools can never make their play without the straight man. Who do you think was funnier - Martin or Lewis? Abbot or Costello? Laurel or Hardy? I rest my case. I am not asking for a comparison of these duos, but rather who is the funnier of the duos - Martin or Lewis, Abbot or Costello, Laurel or Hardy? My contention is that the straight man is the funnier. Hardy, for instance, is much funnier than Laurel, Abbot is much funnier than Costello and Martin is much funnier than Lewis. What do you think? Fools and clowns are never funny to me. It is only the straight men who are funny. Of course they have to be offset by the fool. Circus clowns are the saddest sons of bitches who ever lived. They are simply pathetic. They ought to be taken out and killed. Only a twelve year old mentality could possibly appreciate them. But Hells Bells, I haven't been twelve years old for the past half century. The Europeans seem to like circus acts and clowns even more than do we Americans. I attribute this to their eternal retardiness, no doubt caused by their wars which have killed off all the intelligent Europeans over the past century. Only confounded idiots are left - which is why European culture is in serious decline. It is now not much more than a Disneyland for Americans. The French, under Chirac, it goes without saying are beneath contempt. -- Regards, Ed Dolan - Minnesota |
