The Saturday Seven: Funny Dead Comedians

This past week at work was stressful and hectic. I put in some seriously long hours at the office, and working from home late evenings as well. I made it through the week by remembering that laughter is always the best medicine. I've always enjoyed a good laugh-from a TV sitcom or movie to a stand up stage act. There have been so many talented comedians over the years. In particular, I've always had an appreciation for the older comedians from way back. These are guys who were masters of double entendre, had perfect timing, and could work an audience with just a look or facial expression. These are guys who didn't need to use vulgarity to get the laugh. This brings me to another scintillating edition of
The Saturday Seven: Funny Dead Comedians
#1 George Burns: "Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed"

#2 Peter Sellers: "Conversation like television set on honeymoon... unnecessary"

#3 Groucho Marx: "Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?"

#4 Benny Hill: “I'm not against half naked girls - not as often as I'd like to be"

#5 Red Foxx: "Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.”

#6 Jack Benny: "Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.”

#7 Paul Lynde: "Host Peter Marshall: What are “dual-purpose cattle” good for that other cattle aren’t? Paul Lynde: They give milk and cookies – but I don’t recommend the cookies"

Bonus entry: Rodney Dangerfield: "I don't get no respect"

Thanks for stopping by The Saturday Seven today. Who are your favorite dead male comedians? Some other week I'll tackle the ladies, and also the living funny guys. But today, it's a mini-tribute to those who are gone. Happy Saturday! -Rick Rockhill
