W.C. Fields - You're Telling Me

[@ringerheringa3052]

Minutes of brilliance with just a hat and a pair of shoes. Priceless and timeless!

One of a kind W. C. Fields he was a very talented man funny as can be

[@garymorris1856]

Fields was wonderful.

[@Cue-pv3jg]

“Her silver laughter rings out from early morn til late at night - YEAH! What a brilliant scene and comedian, his banter with his movie wives reminds me of my own (just one of course) who usually has all the words whilst I mutter in undertone my rebuttal, concluding with Field’s obligatory “Yes dear!”

The key funnel is "classic" and the hat on his back trick was inspired comedy!😃👍

Hat on his back. Priceless. The Canadian Club with WC playing golf I just about lose my breath laughing.

He was a master of confusion. How he handled props, he could make anyone laugh.

[@stevewiencek1354]

I have lots of favorite comedians, from silents to present day. Amongst all of them, there's something unique about W.C. Fields. I can't stop laughing out loud. Some part of me says "Come on, that's not really all that funny." And I have friends who absolutely don't think he's funny at all. Is it just his timing? I don't know. I can't explain it. But I think he's hilarious.

[@321bytor]

Genius

[@Danny-ks1pb]

Luv the key funnel.

[@marclayne9261]

WC...the best......

[@l.salisbury1253]

Easily the funniest solo comic of the early sound period. We will NEVER see the likes of Fields, Laurel & Hardy, the 3 Stooges or the Marx Bros again!

[@KevTheImpaler]

A tricky situation. Difficult to know with whom to sympathise.

WEll,i was a member of the danish W. C Fields fanclub.And Rune T. Kidde was the leader-still got his autograph-now hes deceived,sadly.

[@danandersen813]

That was before Facebook,those days of the Fanclub,mates!

[@demef758]

He deceived many a man before he died, too!

[@danandersen813]

Deceased i meant,sorry.

[@danandersen813]

Sadly i wrote very wrong,i wrote deceived instead of what i wanted to write;the word deceased,.about Kiddes death,all too soon,in a not so old age,i meant.

In one of his films he was trying to impress a wealthy woman. She asked if he played croquet. His reply “ah yes , saw a game in Paris, many people were killed “. Then later while attempting to play, he trips on a wicket and fumes,”what lazy lout left these wires all over the lawn”? Sooo funny.

Some things never change. Man comes home, and is immediately attacked by his wife, who nags him constantly, and is a total bitch. Why any man ever marries remains a mystery.

[@lawrencelewis2592]

It's all in how you do it. I would drive home, honk the horn and stomp up the front steps. My wife would be in bed and I would slap her ass and say, "How about it, sweetheart!" She always pretended to be asleep. In other words, grow some balls!

Doing Blue comedy is crossing a line into easier laughs...ask anyone. And as a talent WC Fields is superior again. Can Robin or Sam juggle on a world class level? Check out Fields juggling videos... Checkmate.

Laurel and Hardy

[@samsmith4216]

If Laurel and Hardy equates to "SOMEONE funnier" then it's a matter of opinion. Since "someone" would mean 1 person. Your answer makes little sense.
