Good article. Too short.

So much good comedy is lost in time.

While that article is about the British there's a lot forgotten in North America too.

Lots of folk music was anti-establishment and funny too with clever double entendres and such.

During Prohibition the blind pigs had all sorts of underground entertainment, and not so subtle.

I like the first Spike Jones (not today's director) and his wacky music. When the rock and roll thing came around and he heard the song "Splish Splash" he quit saying that he was out of a job.
