Quote by dianna re. Ed Ames' Tomahawk Chop: Welcome to Frontier Briss (LOL). I saw the original airing and I thought this can't be real because Johnny would never chance something like that. I think he was crazy but it was a funny reaction.

I think it was always true with Johnny that, whenever something struck him as a surprise, such as the Tomahawk Chop, he decided to milk it for all the laughs it was worth--and this one was worth a lot (IMHO).

Johnny gets one of the biggest laughs in Tonight Show history on his own with this bit as Carnac The Magnificent. If this doesn't kill you, I don't know what else will:

The revelation of the existence of the Doomsday Machine in DOCTOR STRANGELOVE, featuring George C. Scott (with his burlesque impersonation of Curtis LeMay), Peter Bull (as the Soviet ambassador), and Peter Sellers as both the U.S. president and Strangelove:
In my opinion, the reason it holds up as well as it does almost half a century later is that it treats the subject of nuclear war quite seriously, deeming just the very possibility of it insane. What is being satirically skewered here is the paranoia that existed on both sides of the Iron Curtain during the Cold War.

There are times when one can make a serious living off of well-conceived and fun novelty records, and Roger Miller did this in spades in the 1960s. "Dang Me" got to #1 C&W and #7 on the Hot 100 in August 1964; and two months after that, he got up to #3 C&W/#9 pop with this one, "Chug-A-Lug":

Peter Finch, as Howard Beale ("The Mad Prophet Of The Airwaves"), speaks the truth about television, "the most awesome g*******ed propaganda force in the whole Godless world", in NETWORK:

That isn't particularly funny however I have yet to watch that movie. Did he die right there or faint?

Post by erik on Apr 12, 2013 21:02:25 GMT -5
He just fainted.
And while it may not seem funny, it's only because that is what television has become. When NETWORK was released in 1976, many considered it so outrageous and over-the-top in its satire. Now, its satire has become outright fact, making it, in my opinion, timeless.
