Comedy College: 'I got an hourglass figure, but it's later than you think' — Minnie Pearl
Above, the joke that adorns the Comedy College website.
I laughed, but I don't understand why it's funny.
'Course, that's not unusual here.
But I digress.
This is the internet home of all manner of funny things.
"It's about the comedy. It's about the unedited presentation of complete works: full episodes of old radio shows, entire live stage performances, and uninterrupted improvisational sketches and scripted routines."
That ought to keep you amused for a while.

Comedy College, eh? Well, admittedly, I am no search wizard, but I looked for Fred Allen and turned up exactly nothing. Nothing! "Full episodes of old radio shows"..."classic material"... WHAT were they not thinking? Fred Allen, the greatest radio wit of them all, who influenced jillions of performers, who once famously quipped, "You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, stuff it in a flea's navel, and still have room left over to conceal six caraway seeds and an agent's heart"? Hmph.
Although, if it gets a new audience for Jonathan Winters (my brother and I spent many hours quoting his "rednecks spotting flying saucer" routines to each other -- even today, we crack each other up with that) or Bob and Ray (I didn't search for them, but they have to be on there -- they HAVE to) or Richard Pryor (I didn't hunt him down either, but ditto) or Bob Newhart's one-sided telephone conversations, and a million others I can think of, well then, okay.
