- A career of seven decades of snappy irreverent one-liners put Henry "Henny" Youngman
at the top of most comedians list of favorite showmen.
Born in London, England, and moving to the United States when he was a baby. - บันเทิง
My relatives tell me that I'd met Henny Youngman on the boardwalk of Atlantic City when I was only 2 years old.. They told me he was really sweet and charming to me. What a nice memory through family.
One of my favorite jokes Henny told was when he said a homeless man walked up to a house and knocked on the door. A woman answered and he asked her can you give me something to eat. She said of course, would you like yesterday's soup, he said sure, she said okay come back tomorrow.
Saw a homeless man the other day. He told me "Hey buddy, can you help me out. I haven't eaten in three days." I said, "Force yourself."
Lol

I'll always be in awe of TH-cam stuff I'd never ever be able to see. Thank you swan
exactly !!
Notice how he puts the handkerchief under his collar and then places the violin on the other side. Subtle and clever.
Well spotted - mind you, the only subtle thing in his act!
Still watching henny youngman in 2018
Same here RIP Hennie
Oh, you said "Snapshot"
Still watching Quantum Leap and figuring out the past.

Henny rules!
A guy went to the doctor, the doctor gave him 6 months to live. The guy couldn't pay the bill so he gave him another 6 months.
that bike joke is fucking genius lol
The bike riddle even made it to Perry Mason, in the episode that took place in the San Diego Zoo.
Nothing fazed Henny, a joke would fall flat and, without batting an eye, just keep plugging away.
I notice he wasn't afraid to pause to let a joke sink in as well, he really has a confident air, he looks completely comfortable :)
You are so right. Why? Stand up comedy can be and so much of the time is a volume business.
"Because Lola wants me to be here." From the 1955 musical "Damn Yankees"-"Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets"...
Oh thanks I was wondering where that reference was from
one of the greats of comedy
"We just got back from a pleasure trip...We took my mother -in-law to the airport."
Funny, quick wit! I met him in 1974...my favorite joke--"did you hear about the Polish Pirate? He wore a Patch over Both Eyes!'
^^X^^
I don't get it?
Truly a Classic - Catskills
Excellent in the era - it was simply brilliant for middle America and the ethnic groups of NYC -
I love him great stuff.
I saw him in 1989 or 1990 in St Paul. He did over an hour. Amazing. His speech was not this fast at that time. We also got "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes."
Listen fast!
His one liners are great, his violin playing is worse that Jack Benny. They're both extremely funny. The comedians of today have nothing on the comcis of the 40s, 50s, and early 60s. The way they can make they're acts funny without using profanity or sexually explicit language is great. We need more or that these days .
Henny was simply restricted by the conservatives of the time, he wouldn't be any different than the greats of today were he born in the 80's or whatever. He's wonderful and would be amazing today, but the comedy of the last few decades is far better. If you can be really funny and "clean" that's a talent for sure - but if you don't have to be "clean" you're potential as a comic will always be higher. You simply don't have an appreciation for comedy as an art form I think. Henny wouldn't be clean today because he's funnier than that.
@@mi5anthrope you've listened to too much of joe rogan rambling about comedy out of his ass.
Always ahead of his time. What a legend.
If he only was short on cash in the end days.
For anyone who didn't get the joke about losing two bucks by betting the great horse Nashua to place. The day before Nashua lost a match race to the equally great Native Dancer. Obviously there an't be a place bet when there only two horses racing.
Thanks for the context
Once you get into his rhythm, this guy is a pisser lol Obviously, he's a legend, I know. "Tony spelled backwards is ridiculous" lol !!!
Saw an old Ed Sullivan show recently and Henny told this one. A man comes to his house to see him. A rather unattractive woman answers the door and when the man says that Henny is expecting him, the woman asks the man to follow her she takes him to the den where Henny is waiting. After the woman walks away, the friend says to Henny, was that your wife? Henny responds, what you think I'd hire a maid that ugly.
Zach Galifianakis must be inspired by this guy. The one liners, the playing beautiful music while telling the one liners. Anyone agree?
Yes !!
Henny Youngman before there was a Rodney Dangerfield or Don Rickles.
... or Phillis Diller ... one-liners in rapid succession...
“A Persian rug made out of real Persians.”
Funny.
A guy walks into the Doctors office and the Doctor says before you do anything sit down in front of the window and stick out your tongue. The guy says why do I have to sit down in front of the window and stick out my tongue? The Doctor says, I’m mad at my neighbors.
"went to the doctor, i said my arm hurts when i do this, he said well, don't do that."
You're gonna like this guy. He's alright. He's a Goodfella, he's one of us.
This is a great clip.
What was the year and location?
A flying lox box?
this is fuckin brilliant
ya i must be in the wrong joke. im here from gilmore girls but this is great.
This video can't be at normal speed.
I'm pretty sure that's how fast he talked.
I know he talked fast, but the timbre of his voice seems just a little too high, suggesting the speed may be slightly fast. But voices darken with age so I may be used to an older Youngman.
The only time Youngman ever fumbled, so far as I know, was in the skit where he heckles Milton Berle and fumbles as he tries to tell a joke about the Lyndon Johnson Whitehouse family. Berle calls Youngman a "broken record," which cracks up both Youngman and the audience, evoking more laughter when Berle refers to Youngman as "this poor soul."

It is - he was a fast talker.
@@bethbartlett5692 And a fast thinker too.
Guy talks like a cockney music hall comic. Fascinating.
Born in the east end of London
A plastic surgery joke in 1955. Wow
My year born.55
I couldn't quite understand the joke about the shoe repairman, two soles, and opera. Can anyone explain it. I simply couldn't quite make Henny's words. Thank you. It's at 1:32.
Mark Cianciolo give me half sole/soul to the shoemaker, shoemaker says, don’t worry, I’m studying opera?
I realize you asked this question 3 years ago but no one seems to have answered you. In the joke, Youngman says, "I visited my shoemaker. I asked for half-soles. He said, "Go away, I'm studying opera". The joke is related to the use of the word 'half-soles'. Normally, we would expect the shoemaker to repair the shoes and Youngman wanted half-soles. However, the word 'half-soles' are also used in ballet. Half-soles are basically ballet shoes. That's where the joke comes from. Youngman asked for half-soles but the shoemaker says, "Go away. I'm studying opera (instead of ballet)". Obviously, the joke loses it's power when it needs to be explained. I hope that helps.
Dang that's pretty anachronistic@@zackary87kr
Still funny today
That fella right there, that there's a funny dude. Putting "page 2" at the top of a telegram made me laugh. Apparently they're still a thing, I'm gonna have to give it a go just to say I did :3
To quote Bo Burnham, "ha ha ha Classic comedy."
nice reference from words hahaha
lol
Billy Batts brought me here.
Haha, same.
@@lancejackson3524 you’re yyyyyyy
What about, Henny Youngman was an old man
A Flying Lockbox? :---- >
Lox box!
Inspiration for Rodney Dangerfield.
Watch on x0.75 speed if you want it to be normal
Guy walks into a bar......
Dr gave a guy 6 months to live couldn’t pay his bills gave him another 6 months.
WE NEED GOLASHESE IN NEW JERSEY
I don’t even understand half of what he’s saying people talk so different and the 1950’s lol
This is speeded up.
1996 jim Ross brought here. Haven’t laughed once. 😩
I'm sure there's nothing wrong with my hearing but I couldn't hear a lot of the punchlines ... and most of those I didn't get ...
Corny as hell but man I miss him...
+alworkedup then try a shotgun.........ya can't miss...
nice border joke. 2:37. they're much more clever these days though.
Your joking
Rodney perfected this act. I like Henny but not as much as Rodney. I especially don't like how everything is completely random. Nothing has anything to do with anything, there's no structure to his act and he's a terrible fiddler lmao,, just sayingv he always plays that tiny 20 note piece hahaha
He sure was funny, but wouldn't last a minute today. Jokes about Persians, wives, travelling salesmen, teenage girls, smugglers...someone is bound to be offended, file a lawsuit, and Youngman's career is over.
He's looking at the public's reaction. That's so obnoxious and corny as fuck.
Bob Hope used to grit his teeth when a joke bombed. When I saw Joan Rivers live and 1 of her jokes didn't get a laugh she'd holler WAKE UP, CHICAGO!!! ☺
He was terrible then and he's still terrible... he's so bad, it's funny.
Henny speaks hightly of you too.
You are crazy lol. Put yourself in 1955 America. She was great for the time. But respect the opinion not here to bash you
Not on this video, but I just remember his anti-woman jokes when I was a kid...I think he caused the feminist movement all by himself because a 13 year-old hearing his constant woman jabbing gets insulted easily
Feminism has been around since the 1890s
