Classic comedy is timeless. I always enjoyed Andy Griffith's football story.

I'm 33 and love all of those. I've watched The Philadelphia Story with friends around my age, and I was laughing for half the movie and they thought I was crazy.

I listen to "When radio Was" every Sunday night on my local AM radio station. Some of those shows are comedy gold. Phil Harris, Jack Benny, the voice charicatures of Mel Blanc, and some early Lucille Ball.Edgar Bergen and Charley McCarty.
OthersIi have a hard time listening to. Red Skelton has the same bits over and over and I don't find any of them very funny. Then there's one with some hayseed woman running a hotel, Mel Blanc does voices on that one. She's not funny. The worst was Lum and Abner, pure death and enough to make you change the station.

This is definitely older than me:


Examination - A Day At The Races - YouTube

This W.C. Fields short is even older:


WC Fields-The Fatal Glass of Beer (1933) - YouTube

And this clip from Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush is really old!


Charlie Chaplin- Table Ballet - YouTube

Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go out and milk the elk.

Another A & C classic is Hertz "U Drive" (the name of a car rental).

Bud: We'll need to get a car.

Lou: Where can we get one?

Bud: At "U Drive"

Lou: Me drive?

Bud: No, U Drive!

Lou: I said I'd drive

Bud: You don't drive it. I drive it

Lou: Drive what?

Bud: A U Drive

Lou: Why should I drive when you wanna drive?

Bud: I'm renting a U Drive and I'm driving it!

Lou: Oh, so we're both gonna drive it

Hilarious!
