Poor Judy Holliday. I always feel bad for actors that are so good in one role that it ruins the rest of their career... Still, she is just amazing in this...

My favourite québécois spoof of a lifestyle show
Marc Labrèche is a comedy god. He has been around for years and always manages to stay not only relevant, but also very, very funny. One of the things that amazes me about him is that he manages to avoid the Quebec trap of going for the easy laughs and being mean-spirited about his subjects. I watched this about 20 minutes ago and still have tears streaming down my cheeks. I don't know how well it comes across to the Enlgish folk, but watch it and enjoy...

My favourite Marx Brothers
I dare you. I challenge you. I skoodlemadoodle you to find anything funnier than the Marx Brothers. It is simply amazing how their routines consistently improve with time and repeated viewings. It is a well-known fact that I will watch Duck Soup anywhere, anytime, anyplace and laugh like a 6 year-old autistic child on acid. I saw it when I was a kid and that was it. I was done. I like to think (perhaps it's more precise to say that I have delusional fantasies)that Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo have had a large role in making me the person I am today. In any case, they are definitely the reason that the word peanuts makes me laugh.
The combination of slapstick, wordplay, physical comedy and double-entendre has never been, and likely never will be, surpassed.
So for your viewing pleasure...
