MEL BROOKS, LIBERACE, AND NORM MACDONALD CHUCKLES

Need a few laughs?

 

Three of the funniest, kooky, entertaining and surreal videos out there.  Can't give the link or risk removal.  So, if interested in any of them, google:

 

1)  Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft Perform "Sweet Georgia Brown" in Polish

( Mel and his wife Anne did this in connection with their film, for a very appreciative British TV audience. )

 

Or, google:

 

2). Liberace Sings and Dances to "Feelin' Groovy"

(Taking 'camp' to a new level.  Liberace as a mellow flower child, circa 1968?)

 

Or, google:

 

3)  Norm Macdonald Moth and Podiatrist joke

(One of the irreplaceable Norm Macdonald's silliest, funniest jokes, with lots of his priceless asides....)

Memorable characters, fun and entertaining and, if not the best pianist, one of the best that ever lived.

Liberace and I always had a love for fine jewelry.

The way he used to prance on stage in his minks and diamonds and shine them to the old ladies in the audience and say "Look, you paid for them".

 

I don't bring attention to what I have, BUT, if somebody notices, I'm happy. ROFLMAO

I went to a Liberace show in Vegas in 1975, I was 25 at the time but I went to see his show because my mom loved him.

I sat in the front row and after the show he ran down the stage and let you touch his rings. They were so beautiful. He put on a really great show I was glad I went.

Agreed, @Nonametoday .  I just felt the need for some sheer, noncomplicated and uplifting fun, at this point in time!
