Before there was Rodney Dangerfield, there was Henny Youngman. Henny's one-liners was the inspiration for Rodney's comedy routine. I remember seeing him in person at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami Beach. Besides his jokes he told, he worked the room better than any other comic. Comics don't do that anymore.
Met him, around 1990 after his show. I knew every joke, yet he was still hilarious. He took $5 donations for his charity, in exchange for his joke book (500 one-liners,) which he autographed in front of you. During the show, he spoke very warmly of his late wife. I recommend, "Take My Life, Please!" He always had his home number listed in the NYC phone book, in case someone wanted to offer a gig.
My grandfather loved Henny Youngmen played in the house all the time as well as Groucho Marx, Sid Caesar, Milton Berle and Don Rickles to this day I still love it. Comedy gold and non P.C. My brother and I grew up on old time radio shows and great comedy and it's still funny to this day.Most Vaudeville era comedy was fantastic.
My favorite Henny Youngman joke... "Man walks into a Dr's office, and says, "Doc! I have 5 penises!" Doc says, "OMG! How do your pants fit?" The man says, "Like a glove!"
At a Friar's Club Roast a long time ago, Youngman was a guest and Johnny Carson, the Emcee. Carson introduced him saying "Our next guest is the comic Henny Youngman. He's known as king of the one-liners, mainly because Youngman can't remember 2 lines in succession".
I met him once at the Friar's Club in NYC. I was there to shoot an interview with Alan King. I met him and went back to the car to get my camera and gear. As I walked out, a cab pulled up and Henny got out with a huge bag of his books to sell(?) inside. He looked at me and asked me to bring them inside. Maybe I was the doorman. I did it. No tip.
I was lucky enough to see him once, at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston. It was around 1986 or so. He was in his 80's but still put on a great show.
@@johnmac91 That's cool! I was also lucky enough to see Don Rickles, and George Carlin (when he had short, greased-back hair and a suit) when I was a kid in the 60's at the Warwick (RI) Musical Theater. They just don't make 'em like they used to!
"Take My Wife Please!: Henny Youngmans Giant Book of Jokes" is available on Amazon, $11.35. I used to have an older copy but lost it, I'm glad to be able to order a new copy.
Just discovered him at Don Rickles roast. Wow! He was fast. Really the King of the oneliners. He should have been more famous in the English speaking world. RIP. You are still making people laugh....
Yes, he was terrific at the Rickles roast. But there is another comic I thought was brilliant and enormously talented is so many different ways. He was Shecky Greene. He worked with Sinatra, but was too independent for Frank, and maybe too talented and stole his thunder. He was replaced by Rickles who was also great, but much more predictable once you caught on to his style.
I heard him sometime back, he was telling a little about how he became a comedian. He said that he was having to work irregular repair and other similar jobs, including work for a restaurant owner who had talent acts on Friday nights. One day as the evening was approaching, the restaurant owner was troubled and mentioned to someone that the coming evening's main act called in sick. Henny overheard the owner and told him that he was a funny guy and has some jokes, etc. and could keep the audience going for five or ten minutes - better than nothing. So, the restaurant owner said, okay I guess, go on ahead. The audience liked him so as time went on he got more gigs and eventually could give up his odd jobs and just do the clubs. So, he was at home and his mother came over. She asked him what he was up to and he told her he was doing regular comedy work. She looked at him and said, Since when were you funny? He said he pulled out a check from his last gig and showed it to her, she looked at it closely, and said, So you're funny. (I don't guarantee the accuracy of all of the facts in the above.)
My nephew is an idiot ,he asked me to lend him some money to open up a business,he opened up a tall mens shop in Tokyo. Henny and Rodney they don't get any better in my opinion .thanks for this video there is not a lot of Henny available.thanks youtube.
What does a modern singer have to do with an old time comedian? Why are people always comparing irrelevant things meant for different crowds and generations in the comments. There are funny comedians that exist today, for example Louis CK
Its the whole entertainment stage. The talent today is at best mediocre if not, utterly forgettable. Do you think 20 years from now, people will know who goo goo gaa gaa is? Maybe because of this jack ass assanine name, but big band swing concerts STILL sell out because the Great Glenn Miller will never be forgotten.
But, to your credit, aside from the mediocre and forgettable acts, we have Robin Williams. Oops. I dont think we have any "greats" today. Partly because, the entertainment stage is saturated.
Man it aint 1965. You and I are both listening and talking to each other on a computer no bigger then a pack of cigarettes. If I haven't made my point with that statement then you are thick headed. Also, are you an entetainer? Sure you are! Take that computer you are reading this on and find your camera and record some funny stuff and send it to me personally ( who probably lives in another state) You can accomplish all that literally in 5 minutes after reading my comment. Getting my point yet? I really hope you are. Have a good one Stylee
I set my friend up with a blind date. He ends up calling about an hour later I asked him "How was your blind date?" He said "Terrible!" I asked "Why?" He replied "She's deaf."
Ye Olde yank English. Please describe tha funny for me; 'at this houri'? 'It's hallelujah, not: halleyliar'? '..and the voice says: "How about that?"' ...and the rest prolly..? Soz 2 b a prick but trying to have fun isn't having a laugh.
This comedy is only for people, well-read enough to know & enjoy double entondres, wit. Yes good ol days when radio was good after dinner entertainment. And you had to use your brain to understand the jokes.
A young boy walks into a 5 & 10 cent store. He is looking for a yo yo. He finds a yo yo. It's a diamond-studded yo yo. He takes it to the cashier and asks her, "How much is this yo yo?" She says to him, "Little boy, that yo yo will cost you a nickle, but if you will remove the diamonds from the yo yo and give them to me, I will give you $25,000 out of the cash register, plus, you get to keep the yo yo, BUT, you still owe me a nickle."
I liked the routine he once did with Milton Berle. Jenny was in a balcony seat, Milton was on stage. They were rubbing each other over who was funnier. Milton said something like, "I'll have you know I can pack 'em in. Why, they were even rolling around across the street. " Henny said, "Oh yeah? Who was playing over there? "
In this video, that joke is @3:37. The punchline of "where would you like one?" means the guy is afraid of the boyfriend's reaction, and will put a hole in the wall just to escape. The hole in the wall becomes the new back door.

Theres always 1 guy who met him
A man dies. He has his phone number carved on his tombstone. It's a landline.

He passed away from pneumonia, the Doctor gave him 24 hrs to live..he couldn't pay the bill so The Dr.....you know the rest 😅😅😅

Thanks for posting this. I really loved his terrific talent. He was one of a kind, and there will never be another one like him.
Mr.Youngman ,old school class.
And a classic story teller.
I just got back from a pleasure trip. Took my mother in law to the airport.
The great Henny.
I’ve got a 45 rpm record from the ‘80s on the Rhino Records label of him doing some bits.
He was like a machine gun of jokes.
When you didn't have to constantly curse to get genuine laughs.
First heard him in goodfellas , became fan of him :)
Yep.....Some yokels commenting on here swear it was Casino instead. I've liked Mr. Youngman since I heard him back in the 60s and 70s.
Tushar Sharma saaaame
Same here hes a legend
My favorite Henny Youngman joke... "Man walks into a Dr's office, and says, "Doc! I have 5 penises!" Doc says, "OMG! How do your pants fit?" The man says, "Like a glove!"
" You know what's embarrassing? Looking through a keyhole and seeing another eye ".
“Take my wife, please!”
As Jack E. Leonard said "Henny Youngman has a great comedy style. Mine!"
Classic
I bet Norm MacDonald knows all these by heart
That was a very enjoyable half hour!
At a Friar's Club Roast a long time ago, Youngman was a guest and Johnny Carson, the Emcee. Carson introduced him saying "Our next guest is the comic Henny Youngman. He's known as king of the one-liners, mainly because Youngman can't remember 2 lines in succession".

Great stuff. Reflects an era.
I tried doing 'stand-up' , every body kept yelling 'sit down'
Fine time to tell jokes...4 o'clock in the morning :)
My favourite comedian!
Good evening Ladies and germs---I just flew in from Cleveland and boy are my arms tired.
This guy is hilarious. Classic.
No argument from this longtime fan.
I love Henny.
One of the all time greats..I only wish I saw him live at Atlantic City
I was lucky enough to see him once, at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston. It was around 1986 or so. He was in his 80's but still put on a great show.

True classic comedy. Cut and dry. God rest his soul. They don't make um like that anymore and thank God for that.
That woman with the squeak in her laugh... I had to take my headphones off because I thought the dog was yipping.
thanks for this on my work break time
Rest in peace brilliant comic, Henny Youngman.
This guy had a great delivery and a great joke writer
Now I know where Jack Martling got his jokes.
Oh THAT Henny Youngman. I'm hooked on Henny :)
He’s too funny
An old maestro, great traditional comedy
I heard him sometime back, he was telling a little about how he became a comedian.

There just aren't any entertainers of this caliber left.
a super guy.... very funny
I just noticed Rodney Dangerfield did a couple of his jokes. Or they read the same joke book.
I had this album. it had three groove tracks.
Yep. Those separate tracks were a pain. I never understood why they arranged it that way.
...the flowers and card that went to the funeral home read Good Luck in your new location! now that's funny right there I tell you what!
My nephew is an idiot ,he asked me to lend him some money to open up a business,he opened up a tall mens shop in Tokyo. Henny and Rodney they don't get any better in my opinion .thanks for this video there is not a lot of Henny available.thanks youtube.
Well, now that guys like him are gone, we have wonderful talent like baby goo goo gaa gaa. What a nice bright future we have.

Were you crediting Robin WIlliams as being a 'great'? And is it him that you appreciate - or him delivering material he stole from others?

Change it to "she's ALSO deaf" and you got yourself a joke.
Looked him up after Jim Ross mentioned him in his memoir
I laughed so hard

Take my wife.... please! 👍🇺🇸
I'm a "millennial" and all, but stuff like this just seems like it comes from a better, more classier time.
A young boy walks into a 5 & 10 cent store. He is looking for a yo yo. He finds a yo yo. It's a diamond-studded yo yo. He takes it to the cashier and asks her, "How much is this yo yo?" She says to him, "Little boy, that yo yo will cost you a nickle, but if you will remove the diamonds from the yo yo and give them to me, I will give you $25,000 out of the cash register, plus, you get to keep the yo yo, BUT, you still owe me a nickle."
... that... makes... no sense??
He was funny for sure! He has some vulgar raunchy jokes he would tell too.
I liked the routine he once did with Milton Berle. Jenny was in a balcony seat, Milton was on stage. They were rubbing each other over who was funnier. Milton said something like, "I'll have you know I can pack 'em in. Why, they were even rolling around across the street. " Henny said, "Oh yeah? Who was playing over there? "

Not sure of the question, but the album was released in 1980. The saying "Take me to your leader" has been around since the 1950s.
