seventies and taking them to junior high?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh yeah, little toothpicks, so little toothpicks.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, yeah, yes, so we would we would get cinnamon oil,
oil and soak just regular toothpicks and then take those
to school in the seventies, Uh, Jeffrey. And then no
smoked deal. I have never had smoked deal. I've never
had any I've never I was gonna say, I don't
know that I've ever seen smoked eel on a menu anywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I've ever gone in Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
And pickled herring. I have not tried that either. Doesn't
sound very good, but maybe one of these days.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I need a Ribbi. I haven't had a rib buy
in forever. I need a big old slab of meat.
Speaker 1 (06:36):

Marco Abbit to Marco Abbit to Marco.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Hi, Robert Abbit to Marco There.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
From Arizona and I haven't read this one either. So
I enjoyed your latest episode recapping the Beach Boys. I
don't recall many, if any, of their songs you identified
from the seventies that Johnny Carson won, for instance, I
don't think anybody heard that one. I'm surprised you didn't
mention Brian Wilson's biopic from twenty fourteen, mile Pick Love
(07:13):
and Mercy. It showed Brian succumbing to his did I
I did say that. I'm surprised you didn't mention. Oh
maybe there were so many I guess I didn't mention
all of them, succumbing to his mental illness, the control
exerted by Brian's therapist. I did see it. Yeah, the
division between Brian and Mike Love and how Brian's would
(07:36):
be wife influence and rescued Brian. Also, it also depicted
various recording sessions of the album pet Sounds, which included
members of the backing band known as the Wrecking Crew. Yeah,
I saw that. You haven't seen any of the documentaries. No, No,
I think I've seen every one of them. They're all good.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Every time I sit down and get in from the
TV and think, okay, now what showed do we talk
about last week? Or you know that you need to
see I need to see it, I'm like, I can't
even remember.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's what you got that you had a bad right
there for John d. You got that little pencil dey
of penny right little letters there, stick that little rip
it off and put it in your pocket and then
when you go in the other room, Bam, there.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
It is right there.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Uh. And I think that's all the emails and messages.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I go for Robert, where are you from? We was
sticky on the map Arizona?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, give us a town so I can stick you
on the map.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And then like we heard I'd heard earlier in the day.
But Bobby Sherman, Yeah, Bobby's passed away. He wasn't super
He was only big in the seventies, in the early
early seventies. He was super big in the sixties. And
I think he was like faded from everything in the eighties.
(08:55):
But if you were ever gonna like Bobby Sherman, it
would have been in the seventies. And why is that,
mister Wheeler.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, because that was the greatest decade. No, man, yes
it was. She's going to break your vocal cord? Everybody did. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Any anything else over than no?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
No Gretchen. See we will I think I think Gretchen's missing.
Thanks for my kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
She is a wall a wall We are going to Uh.
I don't want to mention it too much here, but
we will talk more about the thunder basketball victory on
Busshead radio. So if you guys want to hear anything
about that, head over there, and uh, I guess we'll
get into tonight subject.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Now, Gretchen, she hadn't even posted on Facebook since the thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
See that's what I was telling you. She's kind of
gone quiet.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
She's uh, I think she's been kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
She's in stealth mode. Don't be in stealth mode. Come
on now, come back, come back.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Uh yep.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
So we have done episodes on Young Frankenstein, yeah, Animal House, yeah,
mash Yeah, but we haven't done an episode on just funny.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Movies in the seventies in general.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So tonight we're gonna cover funny movies in general.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, and there's a lot there are, but I'm gonna
have to caveat this episode. We're caveating, We're caveating.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
So we were kids, We were kids, pre teens and
teens in the seventies. So some of these adult comedies
I didn't think were funny and I never saw and
I've ever seen. Yeah, so our lists may be a
little skewed towards the juvenile end of comedies because we
were so young.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So because we was juvenile, we was juvenile.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So I came up with my not really in order,
but my top ten. But then then what I also
did was I went to a lot of movie people,
you know, places that knew a lot more about movies
than I did, and they all had top ten comedy movie.
(11:19):
So what I did was I took a whole bunch
of those lists and I had Scooby AI. Oh my god,
can he divvy it up?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's that AI thingk cendy the scared shit out of me.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, so Scooby AI. He kind of took all of
those lists and kind of made a master list of
the top ten comedies according to film websites. Okay, so
you shall we start out with that. Go ahead, I'm
gonna start out with number. So again, this is like,
(11:51):
let's say there was like five really big movie and
they all had their top ten. So he kind of
averaged it. And so this is how it came mount
number ten. Sleeper.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I hated it. It was that was goofy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It came out in seventy three. And I think I've
said this before. I saw Sleeper at the drive in.
Eric Wright's parents took us well, when you're a kid
in seventy three at the drive in you don't watch
the movie, especially when it's Woody Allen. Yeah, you're ten
years old, so I don't remember anything except the movie
was weird.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It was very weird, but.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
It was kind of a sci fi I remember there
was some machine that I think the orgasmatron.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, so I don't know how I remember that. Yeah, yeah,
I do.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Number nine Kentucky Fried movie from nineteen seventy seven, which
was really I remember. I remember when they were advertising
that in the seventies, but I wasn't going to spend
my money and go see it because it was like
a movie about commercial spoofs. It's like the whole movie
was just commercial spoofs. So, and then number eight Love
(13:06):
and Death from nineteen seventy five. I don't even know
what movie that is.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Is that a I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I think that might be a Woody Allen movie.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Maybe probably, It's not on my list.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Number seven The Sunshine Boys nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Man, where are you getting this list at?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I'm telling them you, Scooby, this is yeah, this is
from the list, a compilation of it. Now we're getting
into Now we'll get into what you and I are
talking about. Number six The Jerk from nineteen seventy nine.
And what's really weird about The Jerk is I always
forget it's in the seventies because it was so so
close to the eighties there. But it was nineteen seventy nine,
(13:47):
seventy number five Young Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh yeah, from nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Well, this one not number four Annie Hall from nineteen
seventy seven.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
That's all I think I've ever seen that movie.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I haven't either. It's a wooty allen, but it's it's
kind of like, I think, like a rom com type comedy,
not really a kid comedy. Number three National Lampoons, automal
House from nineteen seventy eight, Number two Monty Python, and
The Holy Grail from nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Better have number one, right, you got to know what
number one.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Is, Blazing Saddles from nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, that was the every list I looked at, that
was pretty much not every one, but pretty much everyone
that had it number one.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It was at least yeah, every list I saw it
was either it was in the top three of every
and it is now. When we did our episode on
Animal House, I think at that time I said, my
you know, top comedy from the seventies was Animal House.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was Animal House.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, but Blazing Hat Saddles was like probably the movie
that made you laugh out loud more than any other movie.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Look at here, boys, I should have got some sound bite.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I can't believe it's still it was like on TV
like last year. Oh, it must have been on Yeah.
It was like it had to have been a streaming
because they had all the words in it. None of
the words were bleeped out or anything.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh really.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, but I've also seen I think Brian's song It's
got the N word quite a bit in it, and
I saw it somewhere on TV not too long ago.
But it almost had to be a streaming service.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, it's just it's just a word.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Just oh, did you here? I'm gonna get off subject
real quick. We talk about this more on Bushead Radio.
But I heard the F word live twice today.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
From President Trump from Trump and.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Then and then Jalen Williams at the UH parade at
when they were on stage after the parade. Anyway, we'll
talk about that at on Bushead Radio. Yeah. So okay,
so what so so now we will go over our
our top ten. Okay, what's again? My number one is
(16:08):
Animal House.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I would have to I'd have to agree.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I mean for a kid nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, because we would have been fifteen sixteen. Yeah, it's
prime time.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
To well those guys were from Saturday Night Live, which
was huge at that point.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah. Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Good time to see booth and there was I don't
say there was boobies, and it was kind of fraternity.
I don't know, there was just it was just a
perfect movie at the perfect time.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You know. I saw a thing where the cafeteria scene
with John Belushi's in line, they told him just to
do whatever and they rolled camera, so all that was
ad libbd go. He was a genius.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
He I wonder how many times they could have Surely
they only filmed that one. So I bet the food
that he put in his mouth, no mind?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
What am I now? A ze. I was looking at
this list and there's some in here. Did you ever
see Life of Brian? I think Cindy said she did,
you say, yeah, by the way, my sister's here, but
she don't want to be on air.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I did, but I probably saw it in the seventies
and haven't seen it since.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, it came out in seventy nine. It's a money
python to do.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, it was one of there.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Not as funny, Cindy said, it was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Well, but not as funny as the Holy Grail.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, mistaking the way of flesh wound, it's merely Holleen,
you're gonna do lean on me or bleed on me?
Or lean? Did you say lean or bleed?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Probably both?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
So Life of Brian was about Jesus Christ. I guess
I didn't realize that if only my sister was here
to explain it.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
She only got closer to the microphone. They thought he
was Christ.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
So they thought this guy, whoever it was was was
was Jesus. Uh, but he wasn't. He was Brian. Why
did they mistake him for? I think, why you're whispering?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Well I don't at the wrong time.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oh and oh, there he is. And the wnvinced other
lives that he wasn't. You know, I'd be funny that
it really happened in real life? Oh wow, does it s?
So does Brian get crucified? Well that's not very funny.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah, well you know, well, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Well if that had really happened, and some dude got
mistaken for for Jesus and got crucified, and that Jesus
made out of hang on. I just thought of something,
What if the guy they crucified was really Brian and
Jesus when he came back had never been crucified.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I don't think Monny Python was uh round back then.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Oh okay, Well, I thought it was a good idea
nice try, nice try, Like Willie Walker that was. I
don't remember laughing at Willie.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I don't consider that a there was. There there were
some lists that had movies that well, like Mash. I
don't think I wouldn't consider Mash comedy like a laugh
out loud.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Even though I were laughing out loud atle Bought.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Well, it had funny lines, but I wouldn't put it
in like it never made like the top ten of
any of my comedy lists.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
But yeah, this list and by the way, I got
this list from rancor so they do a lot of
listing Erican graffiti.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah. See again, there's a lot of movies that.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Were that's more drama than to me I think.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I don't know, yeah, but I mean it had funny
parts in it, but yeah, say yeah, that's why my
list is like just kind of the laugh out loud funny.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Right like anything Pink Panther, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I got right here. Return of Pink Panther.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, I got three on my I got a top
thirty list. I got three Pink Panthers on this South
thirty list.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah. Return of the Pink Panther nineteen seventy five, about
the infamous Pink Panther Diamond and inspected.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
CLIs is that the one is dog bitting.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I believe it was.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I get him, I get him confused.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
But yeah, I talk about shot slapstick. Yeah, yeah, those
those were pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
See like on this they got the Sting at number twenty.
Sting wasn't I don't remember laughing at anything on the Sting.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, no, I wouldn't go by that list.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, what about me? I had?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I never saw Meatballs really on anybody's list. Do you
remember Meatballs always there on there?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Number twenty three on that list? Yeah, I love I
love that movie.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I did too, It's it's on my top ten. Bill
Murray who else was in that? I can't think of?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Was Ivan Raymond in it? He directed it?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I don't know that he was in it. Let me
see if I got came out in seventy.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Makepeace was the Kid, and then Camp Tomahawk Camp to
Kate Lynch. I think maybe Bill Murray is the only
one famous that was.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
He was head counselor tripper. But yeah, it had a
lot of funny.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Uh yeah, grease, I don't I don't consider that a comedy.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, my sister's looking at me. Yeah. They had a
number twenty seven on this ranker list. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I don't know how about and I another one that
I didn't see on any list, Cheech and Chongs up
and smoke.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I laughed out loud at that one quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I got that one, and it was pretty high.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Nineteen seventy eight, The Stoner's Cheech and Chong made their
big screen debut Where It Go. Basically, they just smoke
pot through the whole movie, made Putt jokes.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Was that the one was that Dave here?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Dave ain't hear me? I think so, but I can't
be for sure. The plot was thin, but the lasts
were thick, and the munchies were real. Yeah, number nineteen
on my list on the Ranker list.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Or your list rank list. I didn't make my list.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh you didn't make a little that's okay. I was
wondering why you keep flipping through their list?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Well, because I mean I know what my favorite one was.
But after that, it's like, how do I how do I,
you know, put him in order?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Well, like Greece, I mean I wouldn't even put in
grease with me get close to my list.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
No, but like, how am I gonna Well.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
That's what I said. I didn't put min minor my
top ten, but they're not in order, okay, okay, So
like Apple Dumpling Gang.

Three orphans Inherit a gold mine in the Old West.
(23:17):
Two of the most bumbling outlaws in Disney history, Don
Knats and Tim Conway try to take it away. It
was a pretty good movie.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah. I think I only saw that once. I mean,
until you just said that, I couldn't remember what it
was about Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Was gonna say, I think I saw it at the
Esquire in downtown, and I don't think i've seen it since.
But didn't they Then they came out with like, oh,
seek sequels, a sequel or two or three or yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
As they always do, especially nowadays.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, the Bad News Bears.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Bad News Bears was really good.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It was pretty funny. Nineteen seventy six, Walter Mathol that
was that.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Was something different, something new. I mean it was, you know,
having a girl in the baseball they.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Mean, and a drunk baseball coach.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, I'd never seen anything like that, and it was
probably pretty true to life somewhere.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Well, and pretty much every kid at that point probably
played on a little league team and one of the
coaches probably showed up with alcohol in his breath at
some point or not.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
And there was one that bogreating Moron.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
More On.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I don't know if he could say that today, Uh,
and probably not. I just did there.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, what else the jerk, Yeah, we talked about the jerk,
which was Steve Martin nineteen seventy nine, Navan R. Johnson
was born poor Black child, and I got.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Some movie quotes from some of those Oh yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And that's another deal about In the seventies, the movies
that you could quote the most were usually the best
or the funniest.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Oh sure, because they stuck out and you remembered them.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Which was Animiles, you know, Yeah, Tolgo was it over?
When the Germans bomb? Pearl Harber Fat, Drunk and stupid
is no way to go through life.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Son, that's a matter of opinion.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And then the food fight Annie Hall, I don't, uh.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
There's quotes here, but I don't think I ever saw
any of all.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I don't think I've ever seen it either, so I
don't I wouldn't know how to deliver these lines.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Of course, there's a bunch from Young Frankenstein.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, the Knockers, What Knockers? I thank you?
Doctor uh Abby normal Abbitnormal.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
And one of the best things in the whole movie
is that damn hump kept moving. Yeah. He's like, you're
hump it was over there, He's like, what hump?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
That movie was gold Yeah, yeah, the jerk was born,
poor black child. And then when the phone books came out,
the new phone books are here, the new phone books
are here. I'm somebody now, uh. And then when he started,
they started shooting at him. He noticed that the oil
cans were springing.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Somebody really hates the cans.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
It's the cans.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Stay away from the cans. And then he found a
special purpose figured out what that's for.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I liked, Uh, I don't need anything. Oh yeah except
this lamp, maybe this paddle game. That's all I need
is And his dog was his dog named s Head.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Shh. I can't see that on the podcast. I'll hitit
that out.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Now. I meant to watch some of Kentucky Fried movie
just to get in that. Well, that's what I say.
I don't think it was like a movie movie. I
think it was a It was almost probably like a
movie of Saturday Night Live skits for the whole two hours.
I don't think there was like a movie.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Was it Saturday Night Live stuff?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
No, it was just but that's what it would have
been like. It was just commercials. I don't think there
was like a movie per se, like there was characters
that acted throughout the movie. I think it was just
a whole bunch of.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Well, if you're gonna call a movie, if you're gonna
put the title the word movie in the title, that's
suspect right there.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I mean, like, well, anyway, I don't I don't think
I've seen I don't think i've seen any of it.
I don't know what it has. I've never seen it
come on a streaming channel or anywhere.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I got Downald Sutherland in it. Tony Tony Dale. Really yeah,
Henry Gibson.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Now see they were all probably indifferent commercials and unrelated
to each other.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Bill Bigsby, I always liked Bill Bigsby. There's a bunch
of people on it. There's a bunch of people. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
That's crazy that they got that many famous people.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
To well, maybe it was a little slow in seventy
seven for the movie Theater. Maybe Oh, Gretchen messaged, no,
she did.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
What's Gretchen up to you?
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Hang on?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I got a couple of Monty Python in the Holy
Grail quotes. Uh, it's only a flesh wound. And then
there's the uh I fart in your general direction. Your
mother is a hamster and your father is a smelt
of elderberries.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Smelt of elderberry.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yes, that was from the French taunter.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
The French taunter.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yes, what maybe is that Monty Python? The Holy Grail.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I don't remember those lines. Oh yeah, yeah, he was
taunting them, the taunter, Yeah, the French taunter. Ah.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Okay, So what's Gretchen got to say?

Speaker 2 (29:21):
How there? Smile?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Okay? So Kentucky Fried Movie a rapper fire spoof of
TV commercials, new news, broadcast, Kung Fu flicks, and disaster movies.
This sketch comedy classic is the unfiltered, uncensored VHS tape
of our of your older brother warned you about. It
includes such treasures as Catholic high school girls in trouble
(29:48):
and the epic Bruce Lee parody A fistful of yen
viewer discretion is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, I'll pass.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That's yeah. I mean again, I remember when it came
out and all the commercials for it, and it just
seems so even in the seventies, being young, it seemed
like really weird, like a lot like really like really.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Kind of like that everywhere all the time, every day
at someplace time. That new movie here, Oh yeah, yeah
it was too I was like I could tell it
was too much.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I tried. I tried three times to watch that, and
I can't make it past the first hour.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
I told you Kip's niece was a set director. Yeah,
she won Academy Award for it.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
There you go a good deal. Uh so yeah, yeah,
you don't have a list over there. So yeah, that's
pretty much my top ten list.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I see who else did we not talk about? We
talked about Young Frankenstein talked about it High Anxieties on
this Did you ever watch High Anxiety?
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I did watch. Oh, hang on, there's a message from
stay Ton.
Speaker 2 (30:50):

Oh is that what that was?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah? I like my new fire sticks here.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Okay, Stayton says, hey man, talking point for the podcast,
but a serious question for you. Did you get a
high school ring?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
No? I didn't, Yes, I did. He did.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Uh huh it was a I think it Pewter. Yeah,
I've got it in my little little box of uh momentos.
Oh yeah, it's got my name on it. It's got
EHS eighty one on it. It's got a blue fake stone.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah. Yeah, my brother got one is sitting right there right.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Let me see if it looks like mine. Mine's again,
mine was silver, kind of pewter. Yeah, that's pretty close.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Yeah. The stone or whatever's all scuffed up because he
wore it riffing huh and scratch it all up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I wonder why statment is asking why.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, it's random. Did my fire sticks show up, sister? Yeah? Okay, cool,
Yeah so I did. Yeah the other day, Yes, told
you the other day. I come home. Yeah, I was
gonna watch the Thunder play basketball and my firestick went out.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah so you didn't, So did you listen or try
to watch the game?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I kept up with it on the phone while I
was on hold with Amazon the whole evening trying to
forget why my firestick wasn't working. They were no help.
It's like, well, we could sell you another one. He
was trying to sell me one near I was.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Gonna say, yeah, bod okay, let's see the Sunshine Boys
from nineteen seventy five, two legendary vaudeville comedians that was
pretty good. Who haven't spoken in decades thanks to their
bitter feud, are forced to reunite for a TV special.
Their constant bickering is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking as
(32:47):
they fumble through rehearsals and ancient punchlines while trying to
strangle each other. Grumpy old men meets Who's on first?
And there was another there was what was the You know,
some people put Burt Reynolds in the trans.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Am Oh Bandit, Smoking the Bandit.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Smoking the Bandit on their comedy list. But do you
remember the movie where Burt Reynolds and Dom Delais and
Burt Reynolds was trying to commit suicide. Yeah, that was
kind of a funny movie.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, and his daughter.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
But I can't remember what was the name of that
darm movie.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Burt Reynolds, He's gonna commit suicide.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Anyway, I didn't really see that on any list, but
that was kind of a funny.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah. I remember he goes out to the ocean and
then he decided he didn't want to die, and he's like,
help me, God, just get me back. I promise, I promise.
How did that end? I don't think he died in
the end, but I think we knew he was dying.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Was that the name of the movie? The End?
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Oh, it may be the.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
End, and I don't I don't remember how it ends
because I only saw it way back way back then. Yeah,
I think that was the name of the movie, The End,
any hall it was? It was okay, what year?
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Seventy eight?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Seventy eight? Now you know another movie that was kind
of funny, The one Knowly with Henry Winkler. He was
a professional member. He was a professional wrestler. Oh, yes,
and that's but he was real skinny and got thrown
all over the ring. Yes, yeah, the one and only.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, that's not the song with Karen Wrbods or that's
what to be with Karen Wowodson.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
He was in another movie called It Was where he
was like a vet. He he rose, Yeah, he rose
those but they came out fairly close together. Yeah, that
had carry on weyward Son.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah, and that was not a comedy.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
No, that was definitely not a comedy. But but I
really liked I don't know, I really like both of
those movies. Henry Weekler, he was a decent actor.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Gressen's asked, are you recording right now?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Tell her she's on Live, right, Stayton's on live, Gretchen's
on live, everybody's on live.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I don't know why these guys don't call when we're recording,
because they know when we record. He could call and
we could put you right on the phone, right on
the podcast.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Okay, I'm gonna give you a couple of Sleeper quotes.
My brain, that's my second favorite organ. My brain, that's
my second He's been frozen for two hundred years. I'm
sure he's got some stiff.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Joints, frozen for two hundred years.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
From sex and death, two things that come once in
a lifetime. But at least after death you're not nauseous.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Is it all from the same movie?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Those are all from Sleeper?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Oh? Oh yeah, no, wonder I don't remember it. Yeah,
that was a Yeah, that was a silly movie. I
remember walking out of there going there's a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
So you went to like a regular theater and saw it?
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Pretty sure I saw it at the Esquire really maybe
not the Esquire. Somewhere it was. It was not a
drive in maybe the Chief, maybe the Chief what year
to come out? Was the Chief still around? I'm sure
it was a video word Sleeper go words, Go words go.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Seventy three.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Oh it could have been the Chief.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, yeah, so seventy three because Stayton moved in seventy five.
So yeah, in seventy three, I was hanging out with Eric, right, Yeah,
that was way too young to be going to see Sleeper.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yeah, surprise for getting it must have been.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
But again I went to drive in, so oh yeah,
I'm sure the driving people so there were adults there
to Yeah, I'll help you understand. No, I remember not.
I mean he and I were like all over the
drive in, like running around. We were not sitting in
the car watching the movie.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Oh yeah, so yeah, I remember sitting there swinging on
the swing, waiting, you know, waiting for the movie, looking up,
waiting for the movie to come on. If it's something,
move on to watch, and then running back to the car.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
I don't remember ever going to the drive in and
watching a movie.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Oh well we did, I did.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
I never. We If we went, we either were sneaking
in and had beer and were drinking, or I was
a young kid and we were hanging out at the
concession stand or on those swings. But we never. I
don't remember ever watching a movie. Oh, like just sitting
there and watching a movie.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Huh yeah, it had been a bad influence on that, and.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Lord, but I did, but I didn't go to the
drive in that. My mom never took me to the
drive in, so the only time I ever went was
with somebody else. Or like I say, as we got older,
we would sneak in. We would sneak people in the
trunk just to see if we could do it. Or
we would climb the fence. You could. They had trees
that grew, you know, next to the fence, so you
(38:10):
just climbed the tree and hop over the fence and
the guys would drive in and pick you up.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
So anyway, huh, Mom would oh yeah, yeah, I remember that.
I don't know why I remember that. What I do?
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Are we doing on time? Over there?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
We got a few minutes left?
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Uh? What other Annie Hall? No neurotic New York comedian
Alvi Singer over thinks, over talks, and over worries his
way through a love affair with the quirky and irresistible
Anie Hall. It's part romance, part stand up act, and
part therapy session with flashbacked cartoons and Marshall McLuhan cameos,
(38:55):
breaking the Fourth Wall before it was cool.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Oh I don't like, I said, I don't. I think
I've ever seen that. It didn't take me long. Did
not like Woody Allen? I think after Sleeper, I was
like m.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
And he uh yeah. But he did win a lot
of awards.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
He was creepy, a little bit quite sure why he
was creepy, married his stepdaughter, stepdaughter, adopted adopted daughter. That's
just as Pharaoh. Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
So his his other movie, it was Love and Death
in seventy five. Woody Allen parodies Russian literature with a
blend of slapstick, sarcasm and philosophy. He plays a cowardly
pacifist dragged into a war, a plot to assassinate Napoleon,
and a lot of awkward existential banter with Diane Keaton.
It's anyway, yeah, hall too. And that's where the fashion came,
(39:57):
where women started.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Dressing like men u and the time like that. Uh
did you guys get all that? I did?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
People are going, what'd she say?
Speaker 2 (40:10):
One? I can't tell you. It's your secret.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yep. Okay, So there's uh, you know, I'm sure we
missed about a million.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Yeah, did we talk about every which way but loose No, Yeah,
I love that. I love those.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
When Weird did that, it was seventy Clint Eastwood, I
for some re see again those didn't even make How
could like Grease make a list and some of these
other ones didn't. That's weird, you guys. Let us know
what your favorite comedy of all time from the seventies
was five eight ZHO five four one three EIGHTHO five
or buzz at buzzed media dot com.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Seventy eight came about seventy eight, seventy eight. I think
the sequel may came out in eighty or later.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Yeah, but that's funny that it didn't pop up on
any list.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
I mean, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
This is a good movie. Yeah, I'm funny.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
And it was different. I mean, who who has a
ring attain that? Terrors of parked cars?
Speaker 1 (41:06):
It was silly, but yeah, but that's what made him funny,
was there? It was almost two hours long?
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Was it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Every which way?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
But and I never you know, he wound up marrying
that girl.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Uh but but Sandra Locke, Yeah, they did a lot
of movies together.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Yeah, and I I never saw that. I was like, why,
I mean, this is Clint Eastwood. I mean he could,
he could, he could have any woman. I mean, you know,
like the movie play Misty for Me. Oh that chick
was hoof. That may have been sixties play Misty for me.
But uh yeah, I mean I always lot Sandra Locke.
(41:45):
I mean, yeah, she's cute.
Speaker 1 (41:46):

Speaker 2 (41:50):

wasn't a comedy at all.

He did not, as I don't think really anybody did.
I don't think either. And on that subject, Jason Scott,
while in the middle of listening to that episode called
us and he was not a fan of He is
a fan of the Beach Boys, especially all of the sixties,
but was not a fan of the seventies Beach Boys,
(02:43):
although they did have a remake of rock and Roll
Music which was in the top ten in seventies in
nineteen seventy six, and we did not I don't believe.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
We had mentioned it because I had forgot about that. Well,
bad podcaster.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But that was a good song. That was a real
good song, kim roll. Yeah, so thanks for that.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Infactually he said the Beach Boys in the seventies suck.
He did say that, and they didn't say that, but.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah they did, though we gave you guys proof.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, see, these guys just didn't do it in the seventies. First.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, we had a good call from Steve from San.

things to say about the.

Sad Me and my family always buy cinnamon sticks and
smoked eels there every year, and jawbreakers.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
No, how do you smoke an eel?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You wrap it up and you light it on fire.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So which in do you suck on?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I don't know, the one without the teeth. You two
like cinnamon sticks or smoked eels.

Oh, okay, have you ever heard have you ever had
pickled herring?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Do you like salty black? Salty black licorice? Never heard
of such a.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Thing, salty black. I don't like black liquorice.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I don't. I don't like like black liquorice, but I
don't like dislike black liquors. It's like if somebody gave me,
like a black liquorice jelly bean, I would eat it.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh jelly bean, I could do.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, well even even a stick. I would eat it.
But I wouldn't like go buy it. All right, So,
but cinnamon sticks, they were.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Now everybody's sent curdis some black liquorice?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Send me some black liquors. Now, going back to the seventies,
do you remember making our own cinnamon sticks in the
seventies and taking them to junior high?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh yeah, little toothpicks, so little toothpicks.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, yeah, yes, so we would we would get cinnamon oil,
oil and soak just regular toothpicks and then take those
to school in the seventies, Uh, Jeffrey. And then no
smoked deal. I have never had smoked deal. I've never
had any I've never I was gonna say, I don't
know that I've ever seen smoked eel on a menu anywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I've ever gone in Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
And pickled herring. I have not tried that either. Doesn't
sound very good, but maybe one of these days.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I need a Ribbi. I haven't had a rib buy
in forever. I need a big old slab of meat.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Sh meat we got and then we got a new
email from somebody new Robert and I'm going to butcher
your last name, but I'm gonna try it. Abba to
Marco Abbit to Marco Abbit to Marco.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Hi, Robert Abbit to Marco There.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
From Arizona and I haven't read this one either. So
I enjoyed your latest episode recapping the Beach Boys. I
don't recall many, if any, of their songs you identified
from the seventies that Johnny Carson won, for instance, I
don't think anybody heard that one. I'm surprised you didn't
mention Brian Wilson's biopic from twenty fourteen, mile Pick Love
(07:13):
and Mercy. It showed Brian succumbing to his did I
I did say that. I'm surprised you didn't mention. Oh
maybe there were so many I guess I didn't mention
all of them, succumbing to his mental illness, the control
exerted by Brian's therapist. I did see it. Yeah, the
division between Brian and Mike Love and how Brian's would
(07:36):
be wife influence and rescued Brian. Also, it also depicted
various recording sessions of the album pet Sounds, which included
members of the backing band known as the Wrecking Crew. Yeah,
I saw that. You haven't seen any of the documentaries. No, No,
I think I've seen every one of them. They're all good.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Every time I sit down and get in from the
TV and think, okay, now what showed do we talk
about last week? Or you know that you need to
see I need to see it, I'm like, I can't
even remember.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's what you got that you had a bad right
there for John d. You got that little pencil dey
of penny right little letters there, stick that little rip
it off and put it in your pocket and then
when you go in the other room, Bam, there.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
It is right there.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Uh. And I think that's all the emails and messages.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I go for Robert, where are you from? We was
sticky on the map Arizona?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, give us a town so I can stick you
on the map.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And then like we heard I'd heard earlier in the day.
But Bobby Sherman, Yeah, Bobby's passed away. He wasn't super
He was only big in the seventies, in the early
early seventies. He was super big in the sixties. And
I think he was like faded from everything in the eighties.
(08:55):
But if you were ever gonna like Bobby Sherman, it
would have been in the seventies. And why is that,
mister Wheeler.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, because that was the greatest decade. No, man, yes
it was. She's going to break your vocal cord? Everybody did. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Any anything else over than no?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
No Gretchen. See we will I think I think Gretchen's missing.
Thanks for my kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
She is a wall a wall We are going to Uh.
I don't want to mention it too much here, but
we will talk more about the thunder basketball victory on
Busshead radio. So if you guys want to hear anything
about that, head over there, and uh, I guess we'll
get into tonight subject.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Now, Gretchen, she hadn't even posted on Facebook since the thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
See that's what I was telling you. She's kind of
gone quiet.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
She's uh, I think she's been kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
She's in stealth mode. Don't be in stealth mode. Come
on now, come back, come back.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Uh yep.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
So we have done episodes on Young Frankenstein, yeah, Animal House, yeah,
mash Yeah, but we haven't done an episode on just funny.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Movies in the seventies in general.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So tonight we're gonna cover funny movies in general.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, and there's a lot there are, but I'm gonna
have to caveat this episode. We're caveating, We're caveating.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
So we were kids, We were kids, pre teens and
teens in the seventies. So some of these adult comedies
I didn't think were funny and I never saw and
I've ever seen. Yeah, so our lists may be a
little skewed towards the juvenile end of comedies because we
were so young.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So because we was juvenile, we was juvenile.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So I came up with my not really in order,
but my top ten. But then then what I also
did was I went to a lot of movie people,
you know, places that knew a lot more about movies
than I did, and they all had top ten comedy movie.
(11:19):
So what I did was I took a whole bunch
of those lists and I had Scooby AI. Oh my god,
can he divvy it up?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's that AI thingk cendy the scared shit out of me.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, so Scooby AI. He kind of took all of
those lists and kind of made a master list of
the top ten comedies according to film websites. Okay, so
you shall we start out with that. Go ahead, I'm
gonna start out with number. So again, this is like,
(11:51):
let's say there was like five really big movie and
they all had their top ten. So he kind of
averaged it. And so this is how it came mount
number ten. Sleeper.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I hated it. It was that was goofy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It came out in seventy three. And I think I've
said this before. I saw Sleeper at the drive in.
Eric Wright's parents took us well, when you're a kid
in seventy three at the drive in you don't watch
the movie, especially when it's Woody Allen. Yeah, you're ten
years old, so I don't remember anything except the movie
was weird.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It was very weird, but.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
It was kind of a sci fi I remember there
was some machine that I think the orgasmatron.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, so I don't know how I remember that. Yeah, yeah,
I do.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Number nine Kentucky Fried movie from nineteen seventy seven, which
was really I remember. I remember when they were advertising
that in the seventies, but I wasn't going to spend
my money and go see it because it was like
a movie about commercial spoofs. It's like the whole movie
was just commercial spoofs. So, and then number eight Love
(13:06):
and Death from nineteen seventy five. I don't even know
what movie that is.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Is that a I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I think that might be a Woody Allen movie.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Maybe probably, It's not on my list.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Number seven The Sunshine Boys nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Man, where are you getting this list at?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I'm telling them you, Scooby, this is yeah, this is
from the list, a compilation of it. Now we're getting
into Now we'll get into what you and I are
talking about. Number six The Jerk from nineteen seventy nine.
And what's really weird about The Jerk is I always
forget it's in the seventies because it was so so
close to the eighties there. But it was nineteen seventy nine,
(13:47):
seventy number five Young Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh yeah, from nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Well, this one not number four Annie Hall from nineteen
seventy seven.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
That's all I think I've ever seen that movie.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I haven't either. It's a wooty allen, but it's it's
kind of like, I think, like a rom com type comedy,
not really a kid comedy. Number three National Lampoons, automal
House from nineteen seventy eight, Number two Monty Python, and
The Holy Grail from nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Better have number one, right, you got to know what
number one.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Is, Blazing Saddles from nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, that was the every list I looked at, that
was pretty much not every one, but pretty much everyone
that had it number one.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It was at least yeah, every list I saw it
was either it was in the top three of every
and it is now. When we did our episode on
Animal House, I think at that time I said, my
you know, top comedy from the seventies was Animal House.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was Animal House.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, but Blazing Hat Saddles was like probably the movie
that made you laugh out loud more than any other movie.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Look at here, boys, I should have got some sound bite.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I can't believe it's still it was like on TV
like last year. Oh, it must have been on Yeah.
It was like it had to have been a streaming
because they had all the words in it. None of
the words were bleeped out or anything.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh really.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, but I've also seen I think Brian's song It's
got the N word quite a bit in it, and
I saw it somewhere on TV not too long ago.
But it almost had to be a streaming service.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, it's just it's just a word.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Just oh, did you here? I'm gonna get off subject
real quick. We talk about this more on Bushead Radio.
But I heard the F word live twice today.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
From President Trump from Trump and.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Then and then Jalen Williams at the UH parade at
when they were on stage after the parade. Anyway, we'll
talk about that at on Bushead Radio. Yeah. So okay,
so what so so now we will go over our
our top ten. Okay, what's again? My number one is
(16:08):
Animal House.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I would have to I'd have to agree.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I mean for a kid nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, because we would have been fifteen sixteen. Yeah, it's
prime time.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
To well those guys were from Saturday Night Live, which
was huge at that point.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah. Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Good time to see booth and there was I don't
say there was boobies, and it was kind of fraternity.
I don't know, there was just it was just a
perfect movie at the perfect time.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You know. I saw a thing where the cafeteria scene
with John Belushi's in line, they told him just to
do whatever and they rolled camera, so all that was
ad libbd go. He was a genius.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
He I wonder how many times they could have Surely
they only filmed that one. So I bet the food
that he put in his mouth, no mind?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
What am I now? A ze. I was looking at
this list and there's some in here. Did you ever
see Life of Brian? I think Cindy said she did,
you say, yeah, by the way, my sister's here, but
she don't want to be on air.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I did, but I probably saw it in the seventies
and haven't seen it since.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, it came out in seventy nine. It's a money
python to do.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, it was one of there.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Not as funny, Cindy said, it was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Well, but not as funny as the Holy Grail.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, mistaking the way of flesh wound, it's merely Holleen,
you're gonna do lean on me or bleed on me?
Or lean? Did you say lean or bleed?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Probably both?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
So Life of Brian was about Jesus Christ. I guess
I didn't realize that if only my sister was here
to explain it.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
She only got closer to the microphone. They thought he
was Christ.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
So they thought this guy, whoever it was was was
was Jesus. Uh, but he wasn't. He was Brian. Why
did they mistake him for? I think, why you're whispering?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Well I don't at the wrong time.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oh and oh, there he is. And the wnvinced other
lives that he wasn't. You know, I'd be funny that
it really happened in real life? Oh wow, does it s?
So does Brian get crucified? Well that's not very funny.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah, well you know, well, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Well if that had really happened, and some dude got
mistaken for for Jesus and got crucified, and that Jesus
made out of hang on. I just thought of something,
What if the guy they crucified was really Brian and
Jesus when he came back had never been crucified.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I don't think Monny Python was uh round back then.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Oh okay, Well, I thought it was a good idea
nice try, nice try, Like Willie Walker that was. I
don't remember laughing at Willie.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I don't consider that a there was. There there were
some lists that had movies that well, like Mash. I
don't think I wouldn't consider Mash comedy like a laugh
out loud.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Even though I were laughing out loud atle Bought.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Well, it had funny lines, but I wouldn't put it
in like it never made like the top ten of
any of my comedy lists.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
But yeah, this list and by the way, I got
this list from rancor so they do a lot of
listing Erican graffiti.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah. See again, there's a lot of movies that.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Were that's more drama than to me I think.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I don't know, yeah, but I mean it had funny
parts in it, but yeah, say yeah, that's why my
list is like just kind of the laugh out loud funny.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Right like anything Pink Panther, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I got right here. Return of Pink Panther.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, I got three on my I got a top
thirty list. I got three Pink Panthers on this South
thirty list.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah. Return of the Pink Panther nineteen seventy five, about
the infamous Pink Panther Diamond and inspected.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
CLIs is that the one is dog bitting.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I believe it was.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I get him, I get him confused.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
But yeah, I talk about shot slapstick. Yeah, yeah, those
those were pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
See like on this they got the Sting at number twenty.
Sting wasn't I don't remember laughing at anything on the Sting.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, no, I wouldn't go by that list.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, what about me? I had?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I never saw Meatballs really on anybody's list. Do you
remember Meatballs always there on there?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Number twenty three on that list? Yeah, I love I
love that movie.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I did too, It's it's on my top ten. Bill
Murray who else was in that? I can't think of?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Was Ivan Raymond in it? He directed it?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I don't know that he was in it. Let me
see if I got came out in seventy.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Makepeace was the Kid, and then Camp Tomahawk Camp to
Kate Lynch. I think maybe Bill Murray is the only
one famous that was.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
He was head counselor tripper. But yeah, it had a
lot of funny.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Uh yeah, grease, I don't I don't consider that a comedy.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, my sister's looking at me. Yeah. They had a
number twenty seven on this ranker list. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I don't know how about and I another one that
I didn't see on any list, Cheech and Chongs up
and smoke.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I laughed out loud at that one quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I got that one, and it was pretty high.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Nineteen seventy eight, The Stoner's Cheech and Chong made their
big screen debut Where It Go. Basically, they just smoke
pot through the whole movie, made Putt jokes.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Was that the one was that Dave here?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Dave ain't hear me? I think so, but I can't
be for sure. The plot was thin, but the lasts
were thick, and the munchies were real. Yeah, number nineteen
on my list on the Ranker list.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Or your list rank list. I didn't make my list.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh you didn't make a little that's okay. I was
wondering why you keep flipping through their list?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Well, because I mean I know what my favorite one was.
But after that, it's like, how do I how do I,
you know, put him in order?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Well, like Greece, I mean I wouldn't even put in
grease with me get close to my list.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
No, but like, how am I gonna Well.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
That's what I said. I didn't put min minor my
top ten, but they're not in order, okay, okay, So
like Apple Dumpling Gang.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Oh that was fun.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, that was a that was a pretty I mean
for the time, don Or, but but what was his name?
Tim Conway? Don Notts had a pretty good cast and crew.
But yeah, that was a laugh out loud. Especially it
was seventy five, so we were a little bit younger.
Three orphans Inherit a gold mine in the Old West.
(23:17):
Two of the most bumbling outlaws in Disney history, Don
Knats and Tim Conway try to take it away. It
was a pretty good movie.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah. I think I only saw that once. I mean,
until you just said that, I couldn't remember what it
was about Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Was gonna say, I think I saw it at the
Esquire in downtown, and I don't think i've seen it since.
But didn't they Then they came out with like, oh,
seek sequels, a sequel or two or three or yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
As they always do, especially nowadays.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, the Bad News Bears.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Bad News Bears was really good.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It was pretty funny. Nineteen seventy six, Walter Mathol that
was that.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Was something different, something new. I mean it was, you know,
having a girl in the baseball they.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Mean, and a drunk baseball coach.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, I'd never seen anything like that, and it was
probably pretty true to life somewhere.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Well, and pretty much every kid at that point probably
played on a little league team and one of the
coaches probably showed up with alcohol in his breath at
some point or not.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
And there was one that bogreating Moron.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
More On.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I don't know if he could say that today, Uh,
and probably not. I just did there.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, what else the jerk, Yeah, we talked about the jerk,
which was Steve Martin nineteen seventy nine, Navan R. Johnson
was born poor Black child, and I got.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Some movie quotes from some of those Oh yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And that's another deal about In the seventies, the movies
that you could quote the most were usually the best
or the funniest.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Oh sure, because they stuck out and you remembered them.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Which was Animiles, you know, Yeah, Tolgo was it over?
When the Germans bomb? Pearl Harber Fat, Drunk and stupid
is no way to go through life.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Son, that's a matter of opinion.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And then the food fight Annie Hall, I don't, uh.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
There's quotes here, but I don't think I ever saw
any of all.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I don't think I've ever seen it either, so I
don't I wouldn't know how to deliver these lines.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Of course, there's a bunch from Young Frankenstein.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, the Knockers, What Knockers? I thank you?
Doctor uh Abby normal Abbitnormal.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
And one of the best things in the whole movie
is that damn hump kept moving. Yeah. He's like, you're
hump it was over there, He's like, what hump?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
That movie was gold Yeah, yeah, the jerk was born,
poor black child. And then when the phone books came out,
the new phone books are here, the new phone books
are here. I'm somebody now, uh. And then when he started,
they started shooting at him. He noticed that the oil
cans were springing.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Somebody really hates the cans.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
It's the cans.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Stay away from the cans. And then he found a
special purpose figured out what that's for.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I liked, Uh, I don't need anything. Oh yeah except
this lamp, maybe this paddle game. That's all I need
is And his dog was his dog named s Head.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Shh. I can't see that on the podcast. I'll hitit
that out.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Now. I meant to watch some of Kentucky Fried movie
just to get in that. Well, that's what I say.
I don't think it was like a movie movie. I
think it was a It was almost probably like a
movie of Saturday Night Live skits for the whole two hours.
I don't think there was like a movie.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Was it Saturday Night Live stuff?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
No, it was just but that's what it would have
been like. It was just commercials. I don't think there
was like a movie per se, like there was characters
that acted throughout the movie. I think it was just
a whole bunch of.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Well, if you're gonna call a movie, if you're gonna
put the title the word movie in the title, that's
suspect right there.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I mean, like, well, anyway, I don't I don't think
I've seen I don't think i've seen any of it.
I don't know what it has. I've never seen it
come on a streaming channel or anywhere.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I got Downald Sutherland in it. Tony Tony Dale. Really yeah,
Henry Gibson.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Now see they were all probably indifferent commercials and unrelated
to each other.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Bill Bigsby, I always liked Bill Bigsby. There's a bunch
of people on it. There's a bunch of people. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
That's crazy that they got that many famous people.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
To well, maybe it was a little slow in seventy
seven for the movie Theater. Maybe Oh, Gretchen messaged, no,
she did.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
What's Gretchen up to you?
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Hang on?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I got a couple of Monty Python in the Holy
Grail quotes. Uh, it's only a flesh wound. And then
there's the uh I fart in your general direction. Your
mother is a hamster and your father is a smelt
of elderberries.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Smelt of elderberry.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yes, that was from the French taunter.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
The French taunter.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yes, what maybe is that Monty Python? The Holy Grail.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I don't remember those lines. Oh yeah, yeah, he was
taunting them, the taunter, Yeah, the French taunter. Ah.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Okay? So Kentucky Fried Movie a rapper fire spoof of
TV commercials, new news, broadcast, Kung Fu flicks, and disaster movies.
This sketch comedy classic is the unfiltered, uncensored VHS tape
of our of your older brother warned you about. It
includes such treasures as Catholic high school girls in trouble
(29:48):
and the epic Bruce Lee parody A fistful of yen
viewer discretion is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, I'll pass.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That's yeah. I mean again, I remember when it came
out and all the commercials for it, and it just
seems so even in the seventies, being young, it seemed
like really weird, like a lot like really like really.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Kind of like that everywhere all the time, every day
at someplace time. That new movie here, Oh yeah, yeah
it was too I was like I could tell it
was too much.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I tried. I tried three times to watch that, and
I can't make it past the first hour.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
I told you Kip's niece was a set director. Yeah,
she won Academy Award for it.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
There you go a good deal. Uh so yeah, yeah,
you don't have a list over there. So yeah, that's
pretty much my top ten list.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I see who else did we not talk about? We
talked about Young Frankenstein talked about it High Anxieties on
this Did you ever watch High Anxiety?
Speaker 1 (30:44):

No? I didn't, Yes, I did. He did.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Uh huh it was a I think it Pewter. Yeah,

EHS eighty one on it. It's got a blue fake stone.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah. Yeah, my brother got one is sitting right there right.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Let me see if it looks like mine. Mine's again,
mine was silver, kind of pewter. Yeah, that's pretty close.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Yeah. The stone or whatever's all scuffed up because he
wore it riffing huh and scratch it all up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I wonder why statment is asking why.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, it's random. Did my fire sticks show up, sister? Yeah? Okay, cool,
Yeah so I did. Yeah the other day, Yes, told
you the other day. I come home. Yeah, I was
gonna watch the Thunder play basketball and my firestick went out.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah so you didn't, So did you listen or try
to watch the game?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I kept up with it on the phone while I
was on hold with Amazon the whole evening trying to
forget why my firestick wasn't working. They were no help.
It's like, well, we could sell you another one. He
was trying to sell me one near I was.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Gonna say, yeah, bod okay, let's see the Sunshine Boys
from nineteen seventy five, two legendary vaudeville comedians that was
pretty good. Who haven't spoken in decades thanks to their
bitter feud, are forced to reunite for a TV special.
Their constant bickering is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking as
(32:47):
they fumble through rehearsals and ancient punchlines while trying to
strangle each other. Grumpy old men meets Who's on first?
And there was another there was what was the You know,
some people put Burt Reynolds in the trans.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Am Oh Bandit, Smoking the Bandit.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Smoking the Bandit on their comedy list. But do you
remember the movie where Burt Reynolds and Dom Delais and
Burt Reynolds was trying to commit suicide. Yeah, that was
kind of a funny movie.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, and his daughter.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
But I can't remember what was the name of that
darm movie.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Burt Reynolds, He's gonna commit suicide.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Anyway, I didn't really see that on any list, but
that was kind of a funny.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah. I remember he goes out to the ocean and
then he decided he didn't want to die, and he's like,
help me, God, just get me back. I promise, I promise.
How did that end? I don't think he died in
the end, but I think we knew he was dying.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Was that the name of the movie? The End?
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Oh, it may be the.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
End, and I don't I don't remember how it ends
because I only saw it way back way back then. Yeah,
I think that was the name of the movie, The End,
any hall it was? It was okay, what year?
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Seventy eight?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Seventy eight? Now you know another movie that was kind
of funny, The one Knowly with Henry Winkler. He was
a professional member. He was a professional wrestler. Oh, yes,
and that's but he was real skinny and got thrown
all over the ring. Yes, yeah, the one and only.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, that's not the song with Karen Wrbods or that's
what to be with Karen Wowodson.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
He was in another movie called It Was where he
was like a vet. He he rose, Yeah, he rose
those but they came out fairly close together. Yeah, that
had carry on weyward Son.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah, and that was not a comedy.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
No, that was definitely not a comedy. But but I
really liked I don't know, I really like both of
those movies. Henry Weekler, he was a decent actor.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Gressen's asked, are you recording right now?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Tell her she's on Live, right, Stayton's on live, Gretchen's
on live, everybody's on live.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I don't know why these guys don't call when we're recording,
because they know when we record. He could call and
we could put you right on the phone, right on
the podcast.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Okay, I'm gonna give you a couple of Sleeper quotes.
My brain, that's my second favorite organ. My brain, that's
my second He's been frozen for two hundred years. I'm
sure he's got some stiff.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Joints, frozen for two hundred years.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
From sex and death, two things that come once in
a lifetime. But at least after death you're not nauseous.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Is it all from the same movie?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Those are all from Sleeper?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Oh? Oh yeah, no, wonder I don't remember it. Yeah,
that was a Yeah, that was a silly movie. I
remember walking out of there going there's a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
So you went to like a regular theater and saw it?
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Pretty sure I saw it at the Esquire really maybe
not the Esquire. Somewhere it was. It was not a
drive in maybe the Chief, maybe the Chief what year
to come out? Was the Chief still around? I'm sure
it was a video word Sleeper go words, Go words go.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Seventy three.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Oh it could have been the Chief.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, yeah, so seventy three because Stayton moved in seventy five.
So yeah, in seventy three, I was hanging out with Eric, right, Yeah,
that was way too young to be going to see Sleeper.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yeah, surprise for getting it must have been.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
But again I went to drive in, so oh yeah,
I'm sure the driving people so there were adults there
to Yeah, I'll help you understand. No, I remember not.
I mean he and I were like all over the
drive in, like running around. We were not sitting in
the car watching the movie.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Oh yeah, so yeah, I remember sitting there swinging on
the swing, waiting, you know, waiting for the movie, looking up,
waiting for the movie to come on. If it's something,
move on to watch, and then running back to the car.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
I don't remember ever going to the drive in and
watching a movie.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Oh well we did, I did.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
I never. We If we went, we either were sneaking
in and had beer and were drinking, or I was
a young kid and we were hanging out at the
concession stand or on those swings. But we never. I
don't remember ever watching a movie. Oh, like just sitting
there and watching a movie.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Huh yeah, it had been a bad influence on that, and.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Lord, but I did, but I didn't go to the
drive in that. My mom never took me to the
drive in, so the only time I ever went was
with somebody else. Or like I say, as we got older,
we would sneak in. We would sneak people in the
trunk just to see if we could do it. Or
we would climb the fence. You could. They had trees
that grew, you know, next to the fence, so you
(38:10):
just climbed the tree and hop over the fence and
the guys would drive in and pick you up.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
So anyway, huh, Mom would oh yeah, yeah, I remember that.
I don't know why I remember that. What I do?
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Are we doing on time? Over there?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
We got a few minutes left?
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Uh? What other Annie Hall? No neurotic New York comedian
Alvi Singer over thinks, over talks, and over worries his
way through a love affair with the quirky and irresistible
Anie Hall. It's part romance, part stand up act, and
part therapy session with flashbacked cartoons and Marshall McLuhan cameos,
(38:55):
breaking the Fourth Wall before it was cool.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Oh I don't like, I said, I don't. I think
I've ever seen that. It didn't take me long. Did
not like Woody Allen? I think after Sleeper, I was
like m.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
And he uh yeah. But he did win a lot
of awards.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
He was creepy, a little bit quite sure why he
was creepy, married his stepdaughter, stepdaughter, adopted adopted daughter. That's
just as Pharaoh. Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
So his his other movie, it was Love and Death
in seventy five. Woody Allen parodies Russian literature with a
blend of slapstick, sarcasm and philosophy. He plays a cowardly
pacifist dragged into a war, a plot to assassinate Napoleon,
and a lot of awkward existential banter with Diane Keaton.
It's anyway, yeah, hall too. And that's where the fashion came,
(39:57):
where women started.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Dressing like men u and the time like that. Uh
did you guys get all that? I did?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
People are going, what'd she say?
Speaker 2 (40:10):
One? I can't tell you. It's your secret.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yep. Okay, So there's uh, you know, I'm sure we
missed about a million.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Yeah, did we talk about every which way but loose No, Yeah,
I love that. I love those.
Speaker 1 (40:26):

other ones didn't. That's weird, you guys. Let us know
what your favorite comedy of all time from the seventies
was five eight ZHO five four one three EIGHTHO five
or buzz at buzzed media dot com.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Seventy eight came about seventy eight, seventy eight. I think
the sequel may came out in eighty or later.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Yeah, but that's funny that it didn't pop up on
any list.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
I mean, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
This is a good movie. Yeah, I'm funny.
Speaker 2 (41:00):

ring attain that? Terrors of parked cars?
Speaker 1 (41:06):

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Was it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Every which way?

of movies together.
