For about 80 years Victor has done, not only his unique comedy, but he educated tens of thousands of people about classical music (just as Disney did in his own way). This would have been a new comedy genre today, recognized world wide, but I guess that since 1909 until today there was no person that could follow up his artistry (I do apologies in case that someone is doing this today, so please correct me if I'm wrong) or become his successor. This makes Mr Borge a one of a kind genius and artist who made the entire world laugh for something we've never seen before and we might never will again. That's how great he was.
While not quite the same, PDQ Bach is another classical music + humor talent that's worth listening to. I recommend the 1712 overture as a good introduction to his music.
I never get tired of seeing anything he has ever done. If anyone is down in the dumps, watch his performances and he will pick you and make you feel so much brighter
Full credit to Marilyn also - just like Connie Booth (Monty Python) and Ann-Marie Martin (Sledge Hammer), she was in on the joke, AND ENJOYED IT. Legend! Thank you for the upload - Victor's always watchable, giving us genuine fun and laughter, which we need - R.I.P.
Since the first time I ever saw her, I have been in love with Marilyn Mulvey, Talented both musically and comedicaly and B B B beautiful beyond belief !!!!!!!!! I have also heard what a great and gracious person she is.
i've seen many versions of this performance, but never with the hershey joke before. as much as i love the musical humor, it was his wordplay that made me appreciate borge so much. also, mulvey was a pro for doing this routine with him and still sounding great.
She has a really lovely voice and it’s hard to play the straight part like this yet she is Bob on pitch whatever the distraction and distractions there are a many with Borge being his delightful and very funny self xx
hahaha, je n'avais pas encore cette version ... les moments où il "chante " sont d'une épouvantable drôlerie ... respect pour Marilyn , ce n'est pas facile d'être dans ce rôle ... ...sans rire !!
Any person alive that can distract an entire audience away from (quite possibly) one of the most beautiful voices you’ll ever here - is inarguably the true and only greatest of all time.
I ADORED Victor Borge! In my lifetime I have written only TWO fan letters… and they were very LENGTHY! Practically Compositions! One fan letter to Bob Hope… the other to the most talented and hilarious V. Borge!! How AMAZING he was!! I have MANY of his recordings!!! As a young girl my family saw him perform in Louisville, KY!! WHAT A TALENT!! Hope he is in Heaven when I arrive…
Caro Victor, ti ho scoperto solo da pochi giorni e mi stai facendo ridere come mai altri comici stranieri. Mai avrei pensato che la musica classica nelle tue mani diventasse anche Comica. Che Dio ti benedica, grazie per esserci stato. Sono italiano e purtroppo non capisco tutto quello che dici, tuttavia mi diverto molto. Spero di incontrarti nell'altro mondo per continuare a farmi ridere. Ciao
Genius has many forms, but this exceeds all limits, it is something truly incredible and amazing in which musical talent and humor are combined in an expression of the highest artistic level...congratulations Mr. Borge and company.
Oh I so wished my mother could have seen this clip - she would have so enjoyed it (she loved the classics but passed on five years ago 🥲💫💫) however a all time favourite with me RIP Mr Borge and Mother !! 🔆🔆
The man is genius! He's funny when he's not trying. This is comedy gold. ( My fave is when Victor Borge depicts all the orchestra players on his return to Copenhagen)
I have love Victor Borge with his love with Marilyn Mulvey and so hilarious and clever together- its GREAT! I heard them when i was a kid and now still great!
These two did this bit for many years. If you watch some older videos of it, Marilyn can barely keep her composure. She became the perfect "straight man" to Victor's comedy.
J'aime beaucoup la dérision de la musique classique car c'est un milieu TRES discipliné, plein de conventions et très ordonné. J'adore le côté "chien dans un jeu de quilles".
For me, I thought the older he got, the funnier he was. With more character to his face as he aged, it made his facial expressions even more hilarious.
I love that he has got the same jokes for 40+ years and they stay funny forever
Just shows how much charisma the man had. How many comedians do you or I know who can do the same jokes for 40 years and is still an absolute riot?
The man was a living Monty Python skit. Pure classic immortal comedy.
jokes on classical music are also classic as well lol
It is not the jokes. It is how he made those jokes.
❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💐
Hehim, Pennsylvania.... LOLOL. As I've mentioned before, Miss Mulvey deserves a medal for not cracking up.
Absolutly 🤣
Avec la belle Marilyn. Toute une voix.
Absolutely made my day. I remember him as a kid. What a real talent.
I saw him in concert at Escondido in San Diego at the arts center. One of the happiest times I ever had with my father.
This man just oozes talent and comedy
He does it without even trying
It’s honestly beautiful
"This man" is the one and only Victor Borge.
RIP Victor...thanks for sharing your talent with us!

I feel like there is a lot comedic musicians in modern day, but most of them don't seem to live a little more with humor.
Also Jeff Goldblum is pretty good
The Motzart Group is another one worth checking out!
May be "Les Luthiers", an argentine group
I never get tired of seeing anything he has ever done. If anyone is down in the dumps, watch his performances and he will pick you and make you feel so much brighter
Absolutely Great! You don't find anything like Victor Borge anymore. A perfect mix of thoroughbred musician and comedian!

I remember as a kid lying in front of the TV in hysterics...still in hysterics. Thank you for posting this.

Playing straight to Victor was tough.
I sure could not do that. My hat's off to her. And as the original post said, she has a terrific singing voice.
and not laughing... I know they played this act many times but he keeps changing stuff but she is always a pro
Now I call this a humor. Not the bullshit we have today. This man was a Genius. Rest in Peace Maestro
I absolutely agree.
I got to see him in concert with my father, one of the few times I was the happiest of my life.
@@MercenaryX21 oh you are so lucky
So true, this is clean humor, and yes it's not like the B.S. we hear today which is 'rude & crude'
OH WHAT'S BIG TRUE!
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
GOOD MASTERS WENT SO LONG TIME!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GREETING FROM CZECH CZECH REPUBLIC 🇨🇿
Marian Mulvey was a wonderful operatic singer and a great foil for Victor’s humor and jokes. Excellent team, and so funny.
She now sings the Mass in my parish in CT. She also sang at my daughter’s wedding. Her voice is as strong and beautiful as ever!
@@margueriterezoagli240 wonderful
It truly never gets old!
hahaha, je n'avais pas encore cette version ...
les moments où il "chante " sont d'une épouvantable drôlerie ...
respect pour Marilyn , ce n'est pas facile d'être dans ce rôle ...
...sans rire !!
I haven’t laughed so hard in ages!! What a comic genius forever!!
Marilyn is a superb "straight man " to his lunacy......the pair are brilliant....love them both !!

I am crying I'm laughing so hard. Borge was a musical and comedic genius.
Such a treasure and such a pleasure. He is missed so much. By the end of the month it'll be the 20th anniversary of his passing away.
🙏🙏🙏🌹🥀
I’m so happy that the audience really enjoyed him. Not his usual audience. Random people off the street.
He was always hilarious. But this soprano was prima. A glorious voice, with a great (and gracious) sense of humor!! 😂

If operas were like this I would go to every opera.
Amazing, keeps me happy and entertained. Nice video👏😄.

Loved it. Had me in stitches.
I needed to hear this tonight...after a stressful day, I just needed to laugh out loud....
Love Victor.
Beautiful tone from your violin.
Enjoyed the long play video, too. Thankyou
Giuseppe Verdi, that's Joe Green to you. Loved him since the 60's. Hope he's making my mom laugh, as when they both were on earth.
what a fantastic singer!
A thing of pure beauty and talent and comedic genius

Thanks for this video. Elegant comedy and professionalism.
Straordinario! Fantastico!
Great audience ! Definitely some Victor fans there that night.
The man is genius! He's funny when he's not trying. This is comedy gold. ( My fave is when Victor Borge depicts all the orchestra players on his return to Copenhagen)
Borge was a legend ❤
Simply the very best. Often times, the best straight man is a woman ❤
He was the legend , we all miss him 🥲
Mulvey voce meravigliosa🌹♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Love the introduction - making sure his audience knows it’s a parody!

These two did this bit for many years. If you watch some older videos of it, Marilyn can barely keep her composure. She became the perfect "straight man" to Victor's comedy.
Amei lindo de mas nossa eu simplesmente mim apaixonei
Aloha hugs 🤗 from Hawaii Thats was so funny My first Time seeing them together amazing
The beauty of music!
J'aime beaucoup la dérision de la musique classique car c'est un milieu TRES discipliné, plein de conventions et très ordonné. J'adore le côté "chien dans un jeu de quilles".
Très marrant
Et bon quelle mise en scène quel pianiste quel humour, et ta voix de cette diva
Bref merveilleux
Victor Borge understood pronouns 30 years before the rest of us.
genio y figura......y hasta en la travesura.....
He did this when he’s younger but still funny even getting old
For me, I thought the older he got, the funnier he was. With more character to his face as he aged, it made his facial expressions even more hilarious.
@@BenSlover1 the older the better.... he is so relaxed when he is firing his jokes...
I think he's funnier - his timing has matured and there's more subtlety to his comedy and the way he acts it out.
He's so good
God dammit... I can't sorry laughing, my wife and kids are staring at me😂😂😂...he's a genius
Always a good laugh with Victor😂
Legend! 👍🏻🙏🏻
Increíble, yo no hablo inglés y aún así me hace reír
It's an eracliatian opera with many particulars and it's very artistic and funny!!!.🎉❤😂
Absolutly HILLARIOUS!!!😂
Een aanrader.
Talentvolle ,komische optredens
Zo ontspannend. BRAVO
Tak fordi du så med. Jeg er glad for, at du nød videoen.
How is noone commenting on the Joe Green joke? That was incredible
I love him
A master comedian. And he never used other persons to make his jokes more funny. Well except Mozart, Chopin and all the other great composers ;)
Genio assoluto♥️🌹👏
