Indeed!

Yes, it was funny -- but since I am a woman (who by the way had a VERY "women should remember 'their place'" father!) this joke does grate on my nerves a bit!! ;)

: Buddy Hackett tried and tried, even to the point of purposefully annoying and trying to steamroll to get Lynde's laughs, but the poor little guy couldn't catch on. Word was that Hackett started getting into hot water with Marshall and the producers over it, even the audience sometimes.

please

@charles allan true, that's why he was always in the middle 😁

The only reason.

Kevin Doran then his sarcastic laugh sometimes he did

@@warrior_9726 That's what made him so successf ul as Uncle Arthur on Bewitc hed.

It was all scripted for him.

@@kathyyoung1774 It wasn't all scripted. Bruce Vilanch wrote for HS for years and he said Lynde would often ad lib even better than what was written. Lynde was a very quick wit.

You do know that answers were provided to the stars.

He had a unique voice, you could make it out in an instant in many of the cartoon voices he did.

mine too!

Paul Barrett mine 2!!

Whenever he appeared he was the center of attetion, and made the show 10 times funnier.

me too!

the episodes with him are my fav too! 🖤 rip mr lovely paul lynde 🖤

Well LOL anyway,anyhow.I do too!,Paul Lynde was a whole lot hilarious,especially on screen!

Do you have good pot?? Could be linked to the laughing 😂

+Adam Smith Richard Dawson Imitated W.C fields a lot as well.

+Willie Nelson Yes, Dawson did WC Fields impressions on Match Game and Family Feud. I think he did it on Laugh-In also. They were both funny as hell! RIP to both of them.

I thought it was Stan Laurel.

I think Charles Nelson Reilly was a lot more funny and original than Richard

Deborah G.M. It has been 35 years in 2017 since Paul Lynde passed.

They were already scripted

Wow it's been that long? He is still missed.

@@Jzeaser a lot of people say that, but I think it’s a misunderstanding. The responses weren’t “scripted”, at least not in the way we would usually think of scripting. According to the show’s producers, celebrities had the option of arriving early for the tapings. If they did, they could have a look at the questions they might be asked, so they could have a gag answer ready.

Robert Berryman of course they were. Don’t be naive.. Paul Lynde would get the funniest ones

JackFleming Yes he was ! So why not put him in the middle s

Well just like every Chanel is out for RATTING. Why I'm sure they had him in the middle scare. You have more of a chances to win. Even though there question may have been scripted I believe it was up to the actors to come up with the answers. And Paul Lynde was a wittie guy. R.I.P. Paul Lynde !

Maybe YOU were!

@@mja91352 😅😅

I always remember my mom just loving him!

I would never describe him as a fool. That's odd of you.

Robin Williams was much much quicker. But Paul Lynde was the best in his prime.

You do know his “jokes” were fed to him by writers before the show, right?

@@GhostOfBugsy yes, but it's all in the delivery. Not many people could pull it off so well.

One of my most-favorite come-backs of his was when Peter Marshall asked, "In what State was Abraham Lincoln born?" Paul Lynde: "In what state?" Peter: "Yes." Paul: "Like all of us -- naked and screaming!" Everybody burst out laughing so hard and so long!! 😅😅😅 (Actually, I think one of the main things I liked about it so much was that he wasn't putting anybody's feelings down with this -- 'most EVERYBODY was included! 😄😊)

me too

You know these are scripted, right?

Yup but it's the way he pulls it off. I think it's brilliant=)

+Natasha Bojorcas I think YOU are brilliant :*)

SpleenieMartini awww shucks!

You don't need to know anybody's sexual preferance to think their funny!

PAUL LYNDE was an asshole

Gordon Hall i

@@terrybono5995 you knew him? dumbass

@@terrybono5995 He was a rich funny asshole. Of which the first 2 you'll never be. LOL. Paul Lynde was AWESOME.

@@trreb1 i am very funny some have called me an asshole some have called me loverboy read his bio he was dick

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

+Ian Michalski it is a drink i love that clip and saw it years ago and looked it up and yes its a drink- wish i had one

+Ian Michalski How much is a pinch? Just enough to turn her on.LOL!!

@Ian Michalski "It's $75 now? That's $25 more than it was last time." 😂😂😂😂😂

It was named after a French artillery piece that had a nasty kick. The French 75 millimeter howitzer from WW1.

ZING! 🤣

Ha! I was wondering if anyone else saw Izzard in his look :) Dead ringer!

No, they were not all planned but hey keep with that theory dumb ass.

Your research is flawed you fucking slapnut. NEXT!

Yeah, good comeback slappy. Does your mommy monitor your computer use ya fucking loser? Move on, you are out of your fucking league.

Even if the lines were scripted--obviously some were and some weren't--it's his delivery that makes them so wonderfully funny. On the Johnny Carson show, Paul Lynde said "timing is everything," and he's got a great sense of it. So quit insulting each other and enjoy the laughs!

Huh?

He was a King of one-liners; Mae West was a Queen of one-liners! ;'-D

he was insanely witty and funny--sure miss him

"that way" ? care to explain yourself?

+Michael Smith agree. thats why i am here now...to get some laughs

+Michael Smith I loved his comedy. You watched Hollywood Squares for Paul Lynde.

funny

and if dogs were cats and mummies weren't dead.....

MP Pk you mean mummies are dead! lol paul was a great comedian

MP Pk and if it's and buts were berries and nuts, we'd all have a merry christmas

PowerGlove this makes no sense at all a dead person, can not play a character. If Paul Lynde were alive today he would be acting, same dumb thought process.

I can appreciate the sentiment, but if I had to go with living actors I think Seth MacFarlane in 10 years could play him in a bio pic. Definitely going to have to dye his hair though, and maybe prosthetically change his face a little bit.

Him on Hollywood Squares.... and Richard Dawson, when he was on Match Game. Loved those two on those shows. I really miss those television days.

Charles Nelson Reilly and MacLean Stevenson were also legendary on Match Game.

I like Paul's tone of voice when he said "Republic for which it stands". Like he really appreciated living here

I liked what he said just before he said that... "At the moment? Shaky?" :)

that is so true and there is a new book on him: Paul Lynde A Biography His Life, His Love(s) & His Laughter, for those who liked Paul

Not true

LOL that one's my favorite!

😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Well then she was smart enough to pick him and be the only Queen to win snatch game TWICE. I stan.

WTF?????????????

+bennitori4 ...also the wolf in "It's the Wolf"

that's why I loved Templeton

Also the Hooded Claw cartoon character: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fN16ft2gsLiyaIk.html

..... OH SNAP !!!!!! 😱😱🐭🐭🕷🕷🐷🐷 My life has been changed.

The hooded claw from Penelope pit stop.
