The June Comedy Edition of Wrist Scan is live! . . .
. . . join in with your favorite comedians, comedy sketches, movie scenes, jokes and anecdotes. My favorite comedian is Rodney Dangerfield. And I got to see him perform live once back in '81. I was on my way to class at UCLA when I saw a flyer announcing ...
Whoa, where did the Sub come from? π
Might have been away for too long but do not recall you having that one π Suits you well of course ππ»ππ» Will get back to you with comedy and watches ππ»
The Sub? It came from . . .
. . . the Beverly Hills boutique. π Put myself on their list last September, expecting to wait a year or more for the phone call. It came in December. π₯Ή

Q: What does the Star Ship Enterprise have in common . . .
. . . with a wad of toilet paper? A: They both circle around Uranus searching for Klingons. π
Btw, I found the sign . . .
. . . from Dangerfield's library: I guess no one in his neighborhood could spell, either. π€ ...
Apropos as always ππ»ππ»ππ»
The watch fits the beaming theme to a T π
This pic always makes me chuckle.
Even my dog was looking at the hydrant in the middle of the street like β WTF β and thinking more importantly how do I pee against it. ...
Did you say Comedy Edition? For me, it has to be about Charlie Chaplin!
So here are a few watches related to this wonderful man, comic actor, filmmaker, and, let's not forget it, even composer! Best, Emmanuel A/ First, the three watches that we know or believe belonged to him : 1/ A left-handed Steel & Enamel Rolex retailed b...
. . . and we come . . .
. . . full circle. My favorite comedian, Rodney Dangerfield, shared a memory of his father being photographed with Chaplin in 1923. Watch this clip . . . . . . to the end for the tie-in. Art
Incredible photo, Art, and full circle indeed!
I watched the whole clip, like the first one you posted above, but that's when I realize my English isn't good enough: I understand some of the jokes, but I'm clearly missing some of the humor, unfortunately. Too fast, too subtle. A bit too mumbled too. Y...
Despite being a massive Chaplin fan....
His were the first live action comedies I ever saw as a kid, I wasn't aware of most of these. The Reverso is, rather obviously, my favorite, but all of them are charming in their own way.... ππ
Yes, I imagine Chaplin fan collectors
have liked this Reverso very much! Cheers, Emmanuel
Thanks for hosting this WS dear dr No .
The most appropriate watch thatβs coming in my mind when thinking about a joke is ofcourse the β¦β¦β¦ ...
For my money the best joker . . .
. . . was Buddy Hackett. Nobody could tell a tale like Buddy. π ...
Didn't see Hackett that night on The Tonight Show . . .
. . . when it originally aired, but did catch this match-up between Rickles . . . . . . and Sinatra live. Can't believe that was almost fifty years ago!
Intellectual humor . . .
. . . is for geniuses. π¨βπ« Frankly, I always thought Kant was misquoted. π€
Comedyβ¦
For me comes in two distinct forms. The first is the former Yugoslav variety, mostly associated with movies such as βThe marathon runners do the victory lapβ or βWhoβs singing thereβ but also with theatre performances such as βRadovan the Thirdβ. It is ro...
Something like forty years ago I saw a Yugoslav dark comedy with subtitles . . .
. . . that I barely remember, but the one line I'll never forget was "Screw the shining sun!". π
Classical exampleβ¦
Of something that does not translate well π There are many examples of such translations - which again tend to be funnier to those speaking the language. A classic is, βWould you translate me to the second page of the street?β (For, βWould you help me cro...
Q: What's the difference between a diplomat . . .
. . . and a lady? A: When a diplomat says 'yes', he means 'maybe'. When he says 'maybe', he means 'no'. And when he says 'no', he's no diplomat. When a lady says 'no', she means 'maybe'. When she says 'maybe', she means 'yes'. And when she says 'yes', she...

Would you believe I've never heard of Greg Giraldo . . .
. . . until now? π± Thanks for sharing those clips, Salman. All familiar except Giraldo. How he escaped my attention is a mystery. Art
The other recent loss that brings pangs of regret . . .
. . . was Norm McDonald. π₯²

Hmmmm...... :)
Oh look, they had a baby girl! How cute! Plot: She gets beautiful 'facials hands' as she grows up. ...
Unsure if this is the right WristScan thread... π

Your generation's favorite was preceded . . .
. . . by Rocky and Bullwinkle. I still get a laugh . . . . . . from Mr Peabody and his Boy Sherman . π
Is this Cartman?
I found this enormous stuffed person in a canyon a few months ago; I had no idea what he was but why would a homeless person carry him to an encampment? ...
No!
I have no clue who that doll represents, Cartman's trademark attire since inception are his red-colored shirt, and baby-blue beanie ....
I want at least an honorable mention for digging this up (magazine and watch)
I had to fight off a dozen giant silverfish who were gnawing the edges! This tiny pocket watch has a Seiko EL 370 electronic movement, and I just got it going moments ago. Oh, do you want the rest of the MAD article? Mike ...
