Recycling the Classics for Laffs

Recommended Posts

I love it when the young folks discover the classics and adapt/recycle/rewrite them to suit the modern sensibilities...

I saw a Scout camp fire that had an adaptation of Jack Benny's routine in which he is held up by a robber who announces "your money or your life!" and Benny responds "I'm thinking! I'm thinking!"

For Abott and Costello to be remembered in a Scout venue is great. Has to make the oldsters smile along with the youngsters who "get it" for the first time. "Oh he's our Manager!"

 

Makes me want to try Bob and Ray's "Slow Talkers of America".

Well. Maybe. Not. Out. Doors.

 

Any more?
