Was watching some late night TV and came across some reruns of the Benny Hill show (Antenna TV channel).
Almost forgot about him----his shows were a riot!

The snow flakes of today won’t like that.

The whole idea of comedy is to offend!

Part of his humor was making idiots outa idiots!

F*^K the Snow Flakes!

I agree, it was great humor. I dated a very serious girl from the university in the early 70s that had the theory that all humor involved pain on someone, + although to that point I never gave it much thought, hey, funny was funny, right? But she was right, all humor requires pain from another. I recall an interview with Mel Brooks years ago when asked about the difference between comedy + tragedy + his response was. "Comedy is when YOU fall down an open manhole, + Tragedy is when I hit my thumb with a hammer."

Benny Hill trod the fine line between naughty and nasty, well...

Watched Benny Hill in college. The British version of Hee Haw! Quite funny.
