Greatest Comedian Of All Time ...Wiley E. Coyote. Why? More people have laughed at Wiley E, than

any other in the history of comedy...That is why:

You don't have to know a special language. All you have to do is watch a TV video. Wiley E. is probably all
over the world. I don't know for sure, but it is very likely. And his humor never ends. Even though you
have seen it a few times, it still makes you laugh. Ok, you don't believe that one?

Here is an example of an old one...that still makes you laugh. Lucy & Ethel in the cookie factory?

I just wished one time, that Wiley would catch the Roadrunner. Just once. But I did laugh when I thought the roadrunner would get his.

key was that Wiley didn't know when to ...."STOP" and poor Wiley got banged all the time...

But if you watch the show......like I did when I was a kid......25 cartoons for 25 cents....one after another after
another after another................Wiley always come back for another effort. That is really what makes it great.......
Wiley comes back. Now, 25 cartoons for 25 cents.............means that I would probably see Wiley again..and he
really doesn't give up......

.....I met Chuck Jones once and got his autograph. I don't think I told him how much I liked the effort that
Wiley always made. It was such an honor to meet him, that I was lost for words. I also met Fritz Freeling
once and talked to him for a moment.. Firtz and Chuck both won Oscars for best toons of the year. What do
you know...I het the Jackpot in meeting celebraties.

...I don't know if people recall this one. In way to reinvent the cartoon, Stephen Spelberg created a show called
Animaniacs. It had a section called "Pinky and the Brain" which I loved.

.....In Animaniacs there was a satire on West Side Story, which by the way, The second movie in 2021 was also
directed by ....guess who?...Stephen Speilberg....I don't think I saw that one, it has a very sad ending. (I

Happy Ending Shakespear movie that I loved....Taming of the Shrew: Director: Franco Zeffirelli (67 or 8, or 9)
.........very happy & somewhat sarcastic
