My wife and I went to see Daddy’s Home 2 last night. I laughed uncontrollably. I think Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are comedy gold. Mark is, or has been, mostly a tough guy actor. Will is quite the dink. Who would have thought they’d make such a great team.
I wonder who would get the most votes for best comedic team.
You were very mean and nasty — hitting below the belt — to my pals Llpoh & Hardscrabble yesterday.
Was that funny? Or, just fun? Maybe you and Llpoh would make a Great Comedy Team? Or, you and HF … who actually made a living via the comedy circuit. In either case, you would have to play the straight man … aka, the dummy. ?
Hope and Crosby
-100. Don’t tell me you weren’t stirring that drink a little. I have a question for you but would rather ask in private. Is it possible to talk on the back end of the site? Joomla has a back end messaging system but I’m not familiar with wp.
Me?? Stirring the drink??? Say it ain’t so, Joe! That thought is too horrifying to contemplate.
Wip, my life here has been pretty much an open book. I can’t imagine what it is that needs to be asked in private.
As long as you don’t ask how big my dick REALLY is … go ahead and fire away, right here on TBP.
You could even log off and post under “Anon”, and I’ll pretend I don’t know it’s you.
Ok. When commenting last night (admittedly drunkenly), one of my comments, after hitting “Post Comment” went to an error screen with a back button. After I hit the back button my comment was there for reposting BUT a sentence was added to it. Inquiring minds want to know what that is all about.
Otoh, you gotta be smart to play dumb – & pull it off. Forest gump’s a much smaller possibility…luck is only discounted by the insecure, or the inculcated.

So maybe that’s what magic underwear’s about…if it’s the same Clayton.
But sounds more like it mighta’ been the cotton trader that “went to work for the American Cotton Company in New York City, becoming an assistant general manager in 1904. He left the company later that year to join with two other partners (including his brother-in-law Monroe Dunaway Anderson) in starting Anderson, Clayton and Company, a cotton marketing firm based in Oklahoma City.[1] In 1916, the firm moved its headquarters to Houston, Texas, where it grew to be the world’s largest cotton-trading enterprise.[2]”
The American Cotton Co mighta’ thought he was dumb enough, then they mighta’ thought “we shoulda’ made him sign a n\c.”
Fun question, though.
I don’t think there are Truly Great Comedy teams today. Maybe someone will mention a team I haven’t considered. I think you have to look into the past. My Top 5;
Abbott and Costello
Smothers Brothers
Martin and Lewis
Marx Brothers
Hope and Crosby
Honorable mention to Laurel and Hardy. Matthau and Lemon made some damn funny movies. Ralph and Norten were truly hilarious. “Hellooo, ball!’
While not technically a team … Carson & McMahon were absolutely perfect together, the best in that genre ever, and often side-splitting funny.
Warning: I’m voting down any Three Stooges submissions. Hated those buffoons, esp that fucker Mo … Nazi shithead slapping everybody all the time.
Thank you for answering the wondering. I knew Abbot and Costello would get mentioned quickly in this crowd of Oldies.
You’re welcome.
Somebody here doesn’t like the Smothers Brothers (thumbs down also on HF).
Whoever you are, go suck a bag of dicks.
After last night, I really thought this post would act as a cool down by getting lots of comments/attention. With all of the unique minds here, I’m sure there a tons of opinions on this.
Who could fight over funny stuff anyway? I think Will Ferrell might be the new Chevy Chase.
Smothers Brothers.

Heckle and Jekyl
Harvey Korman and Tim Conway usually got me howling—when Conway would improvise and Korman struggled to keep a straight face–good stuff
Spencer Williams and Alvin Childress
Dino, often pretend-drunk, & just about anybody. Goldie made bank playing dumb. Ditz cracker crack-up.
