Funny Friday – The Great Dane

Funny Friday – The Great Dane

Photo from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Borge To be honest, today’s blog would fit equally well for either Funny Friday or Tuesday Tunes. My subject today is the inimitable Victor Borge, also known as “The Clown Prince of Denmark” and “The Unmelancholy Dane”. I remember crowding around the television to watch him on The Ed Sullivan Show whenever he was scheduled to appear. His routine, that of a bumbling and confused musician of limited talent, always brought plenty of laughs as he fumbled his…

Funny Friday – Writing Jokes

For this edition of Funny Friday, I thought I’d pull out some funny one frame cartoons for your enjoyment. So pull up a chair and get ready to laugh (or groan!) And, of course, everyone’s favorite! And finally, a little Pride and Prejudice humor! Happy Friday everyone! I sourced all these images from various pages on Pinterest.

And now for something different

*The Babylon Bee logo is copied from and owned by the Babylon Bee I love the Babylon Bee. For those unfamiliar with this company, Wikipedia describes them as “a conservative Christian news satire website that publishes satirical articles on topics including religion, politics, current events, and public figures,” which is a fairly accurate description. Others accuse them of being far-right, conspiracy theorists, bigots, white supremacists, etc. which, in my humble opinion, is a great, steaming, pile of crap. Babylon Bee…

The Most Incredible Adventure The Screen Has Ever Created!

The Most Incredible Adventure The Screen Has Ever Created!

Above image copied from http://waichingsthoughts81.blogspot.com/2017/04/weekend-tv-movie-review-airplane-1980.html In case you ‘re confused, I want to talk about the movie Airplane!, one of  funniest and most irreverent movies ever made in my humble opinion. The trailer is just a taste of the sheer zaniness of this flick. It was written and directed by Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker. This trio also gave us such gems as The Kentucky Fried Movie and, my all time favorite television series, Police Squad, which spawned the Naked Gun…

(Cue the groans!) Why don’t snowmen get married? Because they…

Funny Friday – Samuel Johnson Edition

Funny Friday – Samuel Johnson Edition

While the name Samuel Johnson might not be a household name in today’s world, he was a prolific and well-known writer in 18th century England. Johnson lived from 1709 to 1784, and wrote in many genres, including plays, poetry, essays, sermons, and literary criticism. His works were so popular that the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography refers to him as “arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history.” I’ve used quotes from him in my own writing. Today I thought…

Funny Friday-Red Skelton

Funny Friday-Red Skelton

Clem Kadiddlehopper, Sheriff Deadeye, Gertrude and Heathcliff, Freddie the Freeloader. These were characters created by Red Skelton, one of the finest comedians who ever lived. The Red Skelton Comedy Hour, which aired every Tuesday night at 8 pm, brought me home from whatever I was involved in. My family, all seven of us until 1969, when my brother Jann was born, all gathered around the television set to see which characters would appear on the show each week. I always…

Funny Friday – Dad Jokes to Amuse You (or make you groan?)

With everything happening in the world right now, I decided we all need something to brighten our day. To that end, I went online in search of innocuous jokes (or Dad jokes, if you will). I was looking for humor innocent enough that nobody would take offense to, but corny enough to tickle your funny bone. My journeys took me to The Country Living site and a page titled “80 Hilariously Funny Jokes to Make Your Friends and Family Laugh”….

Funny Friday – Writing

Funny Friday – Writing

In this episode of Funny Friday, I thought I’d talk about funny as in “weird” rather than funny as in haha. I’ve often spoken about the different parts of the writing process and how I do in the various parts. I do pretty well in outlining, but it’s fairly hot and cold. If I get an idea, I can run with it, but it will sometimes take me a while to get into outlining a story. Editing, proofing, grammar checking…

Funny Friday – Author Jokes

Funny Friday – Author Jokes

Just a simple post to tickle your funny bone. Get ready to laugh. (Or groan, depending on what sort of humor you like!)   What did the writer say when he glued himself to his book? That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.   What’s the best college degree to become a successful fiction writer? Journalism!   What do communism and an essay writer who plays no sport have in common? They work on paper, but not in practice….
