His telly performances were unreal

i watched his tribute and found him laughing at his own jokes, i find that is the making of a good comedien that laughs at his own stuff   <span id='postcolor'>

I agree but most people say that it's lame to laugh at your own stuff. I'm not one of those people.

The Simpsons is not simplistic.

It works on many levels.

And I'm serious, for once....

P.S.

Now the country wars has even extended it's ugly face to comedy

I love the simpsons. Watch it every day. If you were a real fan you'd recognise that is where I got my nick-name from.

But it usually is pretty predictable. The new episodes are the worst. For the most part they're quite dry.

I love the simpsons I watch it every day. If you were a real fan you'd know that is where my nickname comes from(Shabadu Though I did invent the spelling, most write it as Shabadoo).

But it usually is predictable, though Homer is KING.

The new episodes are pretty dry.

Up yours.

Now do yyou see my point about not getting it?

[Damage Inc 0]

I just thought those weren't very funny.

I can see the humor in the quotes, but they seem outdated somehow.

They formed even it possess much dish grain!

and

it is called up " being "

[Damage Inc 0]

Yes, laterally smoothes.

...but each possible grain does?

qUOTES do not display the comedy of Spike Milligan very well at all. Its a state of mind- you have to get into it.

anyway Milligan is too British. If Foreigners started 'getting' Spike Milligan id start to be afraid.

(BTW i think some of his comedy DOES seem oldfashioned, but some of it is absolutly timeless-very inconsistent)

i loved his poetry as a kid

[IsthatyouJohnWayne 0]

He was in Monty Pythons Life of Brian in a cameo role

he was also one of the first pioneers of 'situation comedy'

(that is, the joke without the punchline)

from which many modern sitcoms could be said to have derived...

his timing was great

at least he died happy-

On his 75th birthday:

"When I look back, the fondest memory I have is not really of the Goons. It is of a girl called Julia with enormous breasts."

I believe you when you say he is funny.

If he worked with Sellers (very funny man) than he can't be all f*cked up

I wish I could put a face to that name though.

Of course his humour may be outdated. It's mostly old stuff and anything more recent was probably made for children.
