George Jessel is UN-PC with his Persian - Egyptian - Jew joke
Apr 17, 201900:01:43Tap to summarizeTimes HAVE changed. Decades ago, "The Toastmaster General" used to tell this joke to audiences all over America. Now, it might be considered offensive to Iranians (Persians now), Egyptians and Jews! (This recording was intended to be used on a fund-raising album of comedians telling funny stories). Go ahead, Georgie....

"THE" ERIC BUTTS "TOP TEN REACTION FACES" (an unauthorized selection)
Apr 17, 201900:01:09Tap to summarizeWhat a phenomenon: Youtube “REACTION” videos. Yes, couch potatoes want to watch other couch potatoes REACT to a) movie trailers or b) packages they opened from Amazon so you can SEE what they BOUGHT. You Tube has taken monetization AWAY from people who post historical clips, public domain pop culture, and anything that might possibly be of interest to intelligent people. Trying to complete with Netflix, YOUTUBE seems to encourage amateurs to perform dangerous stunts that could get themselves killed. Wearisome off-key cover versions of hit songs are still plentiful. YOUTUBE will pay egomaniacs to rant about sports events or politics, or do lame self-help guru blabber. YOUTUBE will NOT tell you how to monetize, why you’re demonitized, or anything else. Just try to dumb down, which is the best way to go “VIRAL.” The other day “THE” ERIC BUTTS (as he calls himself) got some scorn from social media because of his enthusiastic REACTION video about the new STAR WARS movie. Result: over 250,000 hits (and counting). He could be the next “Ross the Intern” or get his own show like JAMES CORDEN. “Star Wars” geeks, and fans who feel sorry for basement dwellers, are cheering him for wearing his heart on his sleeve, and his giddiness and tears on his puss. Here are the TOP TEN “reaction” faces from ERIC, who is clearly on his way to fame and fortune with his fabulous face and heartfelt emotions!. PS. this video falls under “FAIR USE” and ‘PARODY,” and has been endorsed by Julian Assange as a marvelous example of Freedom of Speech. it is NOT being monetized by YOUTUBE. The best things in life are free.

Hogan's Heroes Werner Klemperer & John Banner sing Silent Night Stille Nacht + Robert Clary LeBeau
Apr 12, 201900:02:10Tap to summarizeHere's an example of a "timing strip" well placed. It's so far in the corner it's not too distracting, even with the madly revolving count of each fraction of a second. Christmas songs from...two and a half Jews! Yes, John Banner and Robert Clary were both Jewish. Warner Klemperer was half-Jewish. Clary was a concentration camp survivor. If they didn't think their sitcom was "offensive," or disrespectful, maybe it wasn't. John Banner and Werner Klemperer step up to sing "Silent Night" in the original German ("Stille Nacht") and Robert Clary follows with a quickie in French.

PAUL FREES sings LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH as Funny Face Drink Jolly Olly Orange
Apr 9, 201900:00:53Tap to summarizePillsbury was slightly un-PC when they made "Funny Face" drinks using ethnic caricatures, such as "Chinese Cherry" and "Injun Orange." Come to think of it, "Freckle-Face Strawberry" wasn't so funny either! "Injun Orange" was switched to "Jolly Olly Orange," and voiced by Paul Frees. Pillsbury offered commercials, promo records, even novelty mugs, but their "Funny Face" line dried up. Here's the immortal Mr. Frees doing a minute novelty called "LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH" as Jolly Olly Orange. This voice may remind Frees fans of his "Big Jim Buchanan" voice used years earlier (notably on a Stan Freberg cover of "Money Money Money.") Imagine how wild this recording session was!

BURTON SISTERS Yiddish singing duo
Feb 16, 201900:02:37Tap to summarizeRose and Lynn Goldman were born in Philadelphia, and entertained for the USO during World War 2. They became the Gordon Sisters, but a manager wasn't thrilled. Rose recalled: "When we were working the Borscht Belt — everyone did the Borscht Belt — the manager with one of the other acts came to us and said, “I’d like to manage you kids. Gordon Sisters isn’t a good name for you.” He had on his desk a bottle of Gallagher and Burton, the whiskey. And he said, “OK, you’re the Burton Sisters.” The rest is Borscht Belt history. The duo signed with RCA Victor in 1955 for "Doin' the French Can-Can" and several other singles. Rose retired to get married, but Lynn continued on stage in musical comedies until she too got married. She moved to San Francisco where she and her sister gave a reunion performance in 2011.
