Poll question: Best comedy duo since Laurel and Hardy
Edited on Sat Jul-22-06 09:51 PM by nytemare
I love me some Laurel and Hardy, and have caught up on some French and Saunders lately, and I happen to think that they are awesome. They are just plain funny. Other than them, I have to go with Belushi/Aykroyd.

How bout you?

4. No, they are sad, not funny.
If they weren't in power, they would be funny. But, they do give good material to comedians.

I was already planning to vote for them.



I've already bought all the F&S DVDs. I'm dying for more.

By the way, are going to do the accent? Har are yer.

3. I was looking up their stuff on Youtube.
I love AbFab as well, and probably need to catch the Vicar of Dibley.

But, French and Saunders were the funniest.

21. You can check out an episode of "Vicar of Dibley" at YouTube
The episode's called "Brain of Dibley" & is from mid-way in the 2nd series.

It's been split into three parts:

Sort of like an older version of Bob and David. Many of the others listed are great, but they are my personal favorites.

23. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau
In every single movie they were in together...from "The Odd Couple" to "Grumpy Old Men"...they played off each other brilliantly and hilariously.

Jay has nothing to say but can't stop talking for 30 seconds.

Bod is wiser than Confucius but speaks once in a blue moon.

Pure genius.
