We had some excellent comedians and TV shows or commercials that had one laughing, one seldom hears it anymore, that is sad!
Live or recorded for TV Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, Woody Allen, Chris Rock, Steve Martin. Earlier years in silent shows with Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd to name but a few.
Now we beat ourselves up laughing/crying at world leaders.
