Just shows how much charisma the man had. How many comedians do you or I know who can do the same jokes for 40 years and is still an absolute riot?

"This man" is the one and only Victor Borge.

RIP Victor...thanks for sharing your talent with us!

I have love Victor Borge with his love with Marilyn Mulvey and so hilarious and clever together- its GREAT! I heard them when i was a kid and now still great!

I am crying I'm laughing so hard. Borge was a musical and comedic genius.

Victor Borge is irreplaceable

Marian Mulvey was a wonderful operatic singer and a great foil for Victor’s humor and jokes. Excellent team, and so funny.

It truly never gets old!

hahaha, je n'avais pas encore cette version ... les moments où il "chante " sont d'une épouvantable drôlerie ... respect pour Marilyn , ce n'est pas facile d'être dans ce rôle ... ...sans rire !!

Victor Borge was a fantastic actor

i've seen many versions of this performance, but never with the hershey joke before. as much as i love the musical humor, it was his wordplay that made me appreciate borge so much. also, mulvey was a pro for doing this routine with him and still sounding great.

I ADORED Victor Borge! In my lifetime I have written only TWO fan letters… and they were very LENGTHY! Practically Compositions! One fan letter to Bob Hope… the other to the most talented and hilarious V. Borge!! How AMAZING he was!! I have MANY of his recordings!!! As a young girl my family saw him perform in Louisville, KY!! WHAT A TALENT!! Hope he is in Heaven when I arrive…

Absolutely Great! You don't find anything like Victor Borge anymore. A perfect mix of thoroughbred musician and comedian!

Perfection

Victor Borge is the Master of Comedian

Amazing, keeps me happy and entertained. Nice video👏😄.

Full credit to Marilyn also - just like Connie Booth (Monty Python) and Ann-Marie Martin (Sledge Hammer), she was in on the joke, AND ENJOYED IT. Legend! Thank you for the upload - Victor's always watchable, giving us genuine fun and laughter, which we need - R.I.P.

So Good love it

Any person alive that can distract an entire audience away from (quite possibly) one of the most beautiful voices you’ll ever here - is inarguably the true and only greatest of all time.

What a treasure !!

He always makes me laugh. Whenever I feel a bit down, I look up some of his performances and I feel better

what a fantastic singer!

For about 80 years Victor has done, not only his unique comedy, but he educated tens of thousands of people about classical music (just as Disney did in his own way). This would have been a new comedy genre today, recognized world wide, but I guess that since 1909 until today there was no person that could follow up his artistry (I do apologies in case that someone is doing this today, so please correct me if I'm wrong) or become his successor. This makes Mr Borge a one of a kind genius and artist who made the entire world laugh for something we've never seen before and we might never will again. That's how great he was.

While not quite the same, PDQ Bach is another classical music + humor talent that's worth listening to. I recommend the 1712 overture as a good introduction to his music.

There is no one pianist-comedian on the planet except VB.

A thing of pure beauty and talent and comedic genius

She has a beautiful voice. He is beyond compare.

Nice to have proper humour!

Elle a une voix Extraordinaire et lui un talent incroyabe

Now, that is the highest grade humor! Heavy weight professionals at their best! Great act!

The man is genius! He's funny when he's not trying. This is comedy gold. ( My fave is when Victor Borge depicts all the orchestra players on his return to Copenhagen)

He did this when he’s younger but still funny even getting old

These two did this bit for many years. If you watch some older videos of it, Marilyn can barely keep her composure. She became the perfect "straight man" to Victor's comedy.
