Intellectualising comedy to appear clever condemns this classical style to the dustbin. Thankfully those narrow minds aren’t likely to stand the test of time like the greats of the past. Odd that Ben Elton, never a funny man, took the reverse route becoming a good author.

Thanks for the great posts. I watched this every week. Born in 1950, hard to realize most of people have passed. I grew up near Louisville, KY. Home of Brooks, his brother was Cactus Tom Brooks, a regular on WHAS TV.

dummy....every closed eye ain't sleeping and every open eye ain't awake. Just because Nader is not rolling on the floor like you or Dean doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate Brooks' humor. He can enjoy the performance and react how he chooses. When you were a 'Special Education' student, no one called you stupid or said you didn't understand because you processed information different or had a different look on your face than the students learning the same subjects in the classroom next door. Pipe down with the dingbat mentality; if it was a cookie-cutter world, everyone would be as dumb as you - then you'd rightfully be whining about 8 Billion Nader outward reactions.

I’m on a Foster Brooks marathon.....genius

My Lord, Nader must have had his sense of humor surgically removed. Wow, lol. This skit was hilarious, LOLOLOL!!!!!!!! I would've loved to have seen Don Knotts give AND receive a roast on this program. That would've been great too. Those were the golden years of comedy for sure!

Nader could have at least smiled just to be polite. On a side note we all know Foster Brooks didn’t drink and neither did Hal Smith(Otis from the Andy Griffith show) but they played the parts to a tee.
