She's my step aunt god bless aunt elaine. I'm so proud of you.

[@davidbunch7517]

In the first skit with the dog, it's amazing how much Elaine is like Annie Bancroft/Mrs Robinson and Mike is like Dustin Hoffman/Benjamin. Uncanny.

You're trying to seduce me Mrs. May.....aren't you?

[@marytheresejacksonlutz2533]

I noticed the same thing

[@johnschaefer2238]

Fantastic observation your right on target!

[@denisebaum1052]

There is nobody in the world as clever and funny as Nichols & May - They will remain as icons forever to those of us who remember them

[@treefarm3288]

I only heard them on the radio in these short sort of skits. It was subtle humour for a teenager, but sharpened my outlook. Now I know what they look like.

[@dvlarry]

It's 2020 and I just had an argument like that 'dog and tax return' skit with my GF. My mom and dad had this kind of arguments too.

[@scooterdooter]

Thank you Academy Film Archive!

[@jakre10]

Have never seen this PSA. Perfect couple for it.

[@jimkreider9997]

They were great together

[@Sheriff_K]

That dog tactic was masterfully attempted.

[@constantreader7944]

Don’t torture yourself this way Mr Danvers!

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

I will take Elaine May and Mike Nichols: any way I can! PSA, an old clip, a fuzzy live film, an album...I, I need them... You people don’t care! You really don’t, do you? I, I just think I’m not going to comment anymore! How do you feel about that? { It’s catching...you may not be laughing, but we are! } I love you, Elaine May🌹

[@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

Nooo ... you mustn't give up! you just mustn't . Do comment... and comment often!

[@randydefloon7383]

Who caught the "Death of a Salesman"quote?

[@ericthatsme]

Randy DeFloon “Attention must be paid!” Yip-nice.

[@SleevaReddy]

So funny to watch this being a CPA. Lol

[@dantean]

As comedy teams go, they and the Marx Brothers are truly the gold standard. Abbott and Costello not far behind, perhaps, but certainly no one AHEAD of them--ever. And to think, they improvised it all!

[@joshkkg1519]

2:20 hilarious

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

2:27 "I hoped they file early this year because it's my birthday". So in past years it wasn't?

[@NetworkKids]

[@chriskelleher349]

[@kevinearley8447]

They should bring these back for a 2023 audience.

[@bengunn1021]

They *we need to be reminded of some of the amazing art that is out in the world if you look hard enough

[@gsoedsf]

Hi, My Mom used to play there records. I am trying to find the Hospital on where She is a pain to the nurses ,but tries to tell Him Her leg is on the floor & She cant get it back on the bed. LOL😷🤗🐽✌❤, Sheryl

[@michellelekas211]

It's soo funny...What if you are not getting a return, but instead...

[@TheJohnnyBE]

Still funny.

[@sameerkale8307]

please explain me this movie

[@chriskelleher349]

SK FilmsIND . It's a public service announcement to get people to pay their taxes on time and use a tax preparer if needed. Humor and psychology go along way.

[@thecat8513]

are you people all slow? what is funny about this in any way?

[@joejones9520]

it's kind of like a suppositious iq test...and you failed.

[@Heshhesh13]

old movies sucks

[@mav8535]

+Hisham salem because?

[@Heshhesh13]

+Marv 1236 because they are boring

[@TheChannelTV-bt8em]

+Hisham salem Then go watch something explode. That's more your speed. You're the one who's boring. Nichols and May were comic geniuses and you're too dumb to understand them. Besides, it's not a movie; it's a witty public service announcement. How dense can you get?

[@Heshhesh13]

+TheChannel.TV you are the dumb one ...... those s people in the video are just stupid .... nobody knows them

[@JohnRobie]

+Hisham salem Everybody knows them. Nobody knows you.
