I agree , watching those funny shows , or comedy clubs on TV is a great way to take your mind off “ things “ . Watching those with a ( pain relieving ) oculus quest VR headset giant screen … … way better …. Adding some “ giggle weed “ ( and or beverages ) even better yet. Yayahahahaya

hey …. we have some laughs on here sometimes… some grimace but most laugh yayahahahaya. Plus , if you need a laugh or uplifted sometimes, follow our QOL posts illustrating fun things to do to encourage you to get out with family …. and also to enjoy the foodie porn ( figure of speech ) illustrated here on the group , ….. to take your mind off “ things “ as well. It’s all good brother…

Ok ….so …

I went to my pcp’s office , it was busy … she said she has 6 cases of VD .

she’s OK now tho … ( Think about it ) yayahahahaya

I went to my doctor a week ago and said that it hurts when I lift my arm up like this. ( gesturing with my arm )

He said “ quit doing that “ …..

Went to my doctor and said I was out of shape …. and breathing hard after I walk.

he told me to run 5 miles every day for two weeks to get in shape.

I called him back , and told him I was 70 miles from my house.

I asked my doctor, Dr Vinnie Boombatz , if I was strong enough for sex ….

He told me …. Not if I want to join in. Ratt ta tatt

😂😂😂😂

Thanks for the reminder to look at the light side. Personally, I love me some Rodney Dangerfield one liners when I’m low. Thank God for YouTube:

I tell you my trouble, I got the wrong doctor. You know my doctor, Dr. Vinnie Boombatz… I saw him last week. I told him, "Doc, everyday I wake up and I look in the mirror, I wanna throw up. What's wrong with me?" He said, "I don't know but your eyesight is perfect!"

One time I called him, I swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. He told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.

I never had any luck with doctors. My psychiatrist told me I was going crazy. I said if you don't mind, I'd like a second opinion. He said, "Alright, you're ugly too!"

He was also ruthless about his parents and his wife:

I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent back a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.

And we were poor too. Why, if I wasn’t born a boy, I’d have nothing to play with!

My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

I’ll tell ya, my wife and I, we don’t think alike. She donates money to the homeless, and I donate money to the topless!

One day as I came home early from work, I saw a guy jogging naked. I said to the guy, “Hey buddy…why are you doing that for?” He said, “Because you came home early.”

I remember I was so depressed I was going to jump out a window on the tenth floor. They sent a priest up to talk to me. He said, “On your mark…”

I met the surgeon general. He offered me a cigarette.

I was making love to this girl and she started crying. I said, “Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?” She said, “No, I hate myself now.”

And one for my wife, post 2 years of ADT:

My wife was afraid of the dark... then she saw me naked and now she's afraid of the light.

Those are priceless.

I was going to highlight "gave me a toaster and radio for bath toys" but the one liners kept coming just as good.

One for the grand kids:

Horse walks in the bar. Bartender says "ahh, what's with the long face"?

When Rodney was on, it was rapid fire stuff. Loved how Carson would crack up and just give up on asking Rodney questions.

Hey, good crowd, good crowd, huh? You know me, I love crowds, love crowds. When I was a kid, my house was always crowded.

Always people around, you know, I come from a big old-fashioned, hard working, stupid family.

That's where I come from. What a dumb family I got... are you kiddin'? Last week I looked up my family tree, I found out I'm the sap.

My old man - he was dumb too, my old man. He worked in a bank, they caught him stealing pens.

those are classics, and Rodney was extremely skilled in his timing delivery. Hysterical yayahahahaya yayahahahaya . Old but bold.

The Music Box. Classic. I used to live close to those stairs in L.A., jog up and down them. Much shadier now than they were when the movie was made, but like all the many, many public stairs in L.A. , I can't imagine trying to move a piano up them. But they're terrific exercise. If you can handle the smog. That old comedy was simple, and funny.

Hahaha, revealing your age a bit ;)

But yes, I go and find the classics to watch as well, and man oh man, laugh like we used to. Is funny how it was ok to laugh at everything back then. Today everyone is too tight and worried about offense, when someone recently said, comedy is about offending, it's what makes us laugh.

Anyways, the old Bob Hope, Danny Kay movies, Abott & Costello's, Bowey Boys, Good Times, All in the Family, Original SNL, Welcome Back Kotter, Taxi, MASH, Cheers, and more... Throw backs that harkens back to days when although things were tough, people could still laugh!

Excellent thread and reminder to put this all aside and do what makes us smile!!!

All the Best!

👍🤙🤙🤙

they were really good. I have a feeling Hal Roach had a lot to do with their success. Roach was a keen observer of the human condition.
