Sunday Funnies: Bob Hope

May 29, 1903 was the year of birth of Bob Hope.

Soon THE FUTURIST! will continue his Bob Hope Film Project.
Last year, starting May 29, he began watching Bob Hope films
in chronological order (those available for home viewing) which
started with THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1938.
The 1st wave of Hope films ended with ROAD TO RIO (1947).
THE FUTURIST! will begin the 2nd part of his Hope retrospective
with THE PALEFACE (1948) and continue to the end of Hope's film career.

Here is a trailer to one of his funniest films:


THE PRINCESS AND THE PIRATE (1944)

Sunday Funnies: Hope and Crosby

From THE ROAD TO RIO (1947)

Sunday Funnies: Happy Mother's Day

From Woody Allen:



and Albert Brooks:

Sunday Funnies: Steve Martin and his Singing Balls

As far as groin comedy goes, this is
not as incredibly ingenious as Mr. Martin's
THE GREAT FLYDINI act on the The Tonight Show,
but it is still very funny.

Sunday Funnies: Woody Allen Ponders Morality

What wonderful comic neurotic delivery.
LOVE AND DEATH (1975)
One of THE FUTURIST!'s favorite comedy films of all time.

Sunday Funnies: Peter Cook, Dudley Moore and a Music Lesson

Oh, THE FUTURIST! loves these guys.
Smart and funny.

Try to watch the DVD of their British
television from the 60s entitled:
Peter Cook & Dudley Moore:
The Best of... What's Left of...
Not Only... But Also...

Sunday Funnies: Nichols and May and the $65 Funeral

"Would you be interested in any extras for the funeral?"

"What extras?"

"How about a casket?"

Sunday Funnies: Albert Brooks on Easy To Do Ventriloquism

Mr. Brooks makes comedy look so easy.
A bit of comedy shtick that looks so simple,
but must have required a lot of creative
planning in its comedy construction.
Not as easy as it appears.

Sunday Funnies: Dean, Jimmy and Orson Gossip at the Hair Salon

As usual, Orson would do anything for a check.
However, he stays in character and is the funniest one of the trio.

Sunday Funnies: Mel Brooks Tells a Story

THE FUTURIST! loves you Mel and laments the lost old days
of funny stories told on talk shows by master comedians.
