I have always maintained (to anyone who listened) that there are people who liked The Three Stooges and people who liked The Marx Brothers — but very little overlap between the two groups. Am I wrong? Are there many who liked both?
They appeal to such different tastes. You can’t poke someone in the eyes and still make a witty comment.
On the other hand, one does watch both Gilligan’s Island and Shakespeare . . .
But what I mean is, there is the Benny Hill fan and the Monty Python fan. Can one person be truly both?
Then there’s the Ginger or Mary Ann argument. Why not both? And while we’re at it, why not throw Mrs. Howell in there, too?
Steak or Potatoes? Both!
3 Stooges and Marx Brothers? Yes, but Marx brothers better.
Benny Hill and Monty Python? Yes, but Monty Python better.
Gilligan’s Island and Shakespeare? Yes, but Shakespeare better by a hair.
Funny is Funny! Stop overheating your brain trying to figure out why….
