And this was from the 60's and 70's. And sadly, these jokes, skits and points still land.
LIVE! LIVE! Life is a banquet, and some sorry sons of bitches are starving!

When did we stop having this much fun?
ReplyDeleteAnd funny... or is it sad how many of these joke punchlines STILL stick?????
My Rare One and I were talking about "Laugh In" just a couple of days ago and its "Fickle Finger of Fate" award, LOL!
ReplyDeleteWell, in this edition of Fickle Finger of Fate they nailed it.
DeleteIt's so strange that their section about news from more than twenty years into the future was really so accurate. A good guess or what? Or are we just stupid to keep re-electing the same old and not learning from mistakes?
ReplyDeleteThe credibility issue in the news?!?!?!? LMAO!!!!! Did they have a crystal ball back then on the shows? Here we still are...same shitty issues....
ReplyDeleteOh and look, congress still ignores the wishes of millions and millions of Americans and still has yet pass any gun control laws. The show was brillant.
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA HA HA!!!! See, why watch the news. In all these years it's the same news and issues. The clip did have me laughing though. I catch the reruns some nights on some station here in town. Me Tv?
ReplyDeleteOh but I enjoyed Laugh-in. just seeing the clip made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI always loved me a bit of Joanne Whorley and Ruth Buzzi in the reruns.
DeleteYou have no idea how popular that show was, that and the Smother's Brothers Show, which CBS cancelled because it attacked Conservatives so often.
ReplyDeleteYup, the more things change, the more they stay the same! Not long ago, I watched "All In The Family" episodes from the early '70s and laughed til the tears rolled down my face! Sadly, though, we're still hearing the same arguments about gun control, etc. in 2022 that Archie Bunker made 50 years ago...
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite shows to watch. I too often have tears from laughter. That and Maude. The US could never do the show now. People lost their sense of humor, and everything taken so serious now.
Deletepolitickles could be a new weekly installment here mistress, especially with your insulative comic side
ReplyDeleteWe haven’t come very far, have we! And those 1988-89 “predictions” were frighteningly accurate.
ReplyDeleteEerie right?
DeleteI loved the Laugh-in which I first saw as a teenager living in West Vancouver where Joni Mitchell used to live.
ReplyDeleteAs the day, the more things change, the more they stay the same. And the Congress lines aren’t even jokes at this point, though Congress is.
ReplyDeleteOMG too funny.
ReplyDeleteLove Lili Tomlin and Goldie. And yes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. America has, deep down, changed very little since then. Which is worrying and kind of sad.
XOXO
When I came across it, I was laughing so hard, and then it hit me, wait...these jokes were years ago, and sadly fits the bill...still. Then I wasn't laughing.
DeleteThis is going to make me late leaving for the office, so good. THANKS we needed that.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Blame it on Laugh In!!! I'm not sure the skit scared you or made you laugh?
DeleteClassic skits. And every one is still relevant today.
ReplyDeleteAdore the show. So many greats. Ruth Buzzi, JoAnne Worley, Arte Johnson.... one and on.
ReplyDeleteI love Laugh-In!!
