yesterday was Paul Lynde's birthday...

[WI_DEM]

So here are some Hollywood Squares zingers to enjoy:

Peter Marshall: If the right part comes along, will George C. Scott do a nude scene?
Paul Lynde: You mean he doesn't have the right part?

Peter Marshall: Will a goose help warn you if there's an intruder on your property?
Paul Lynde: There's no better way!

Peter Marshall: In "Alice in Wonderland", who kept crying "I'm late, I'm late?"
Paul Lynde: Alice, and her mother is sick about it.

Peter Marshall: According to Tony Randall, "Every woman I've been intimate with in my life has been..." What?
Paul Lynde: Bitterly disappointed.

Peter Marshall: Diamonds should not be kept with your family jewels, why?
Paul Lynde: They're so cold!

Peter Marshall: What is a pullet?
Paul Lynde: A little show of affection...

Peter Marshall: In the Middle Ages, Paul, people in convents were not allowed to eat beans because they believed something about them we now know isn't true. What?
Paul Lynde: Well, I know they took a vow of silence...

Peter Marshall: Paul, Snow White...was she a blonde or a brunette?
Paul Lynde: Only Walt Disney knows for sure...

Peter Marshall: Promethius was tied to the top of a mountain by the gods because he had given something to man. What did he give us?
Paul Lynde: I don't know what you got, but I got a sports shirt.

Peter Marshall: When Richard Nixon was Vice-President, he went someplace on a "good will mission," but instead wound up being stoned and shouted at. Where did this take place?
Paul Lynde: Pat's room .

Peter Marshall: True or false, cow's horns are used to make ice cream.
Paul Lynde: You mean those weren't chocolate chips?

(I know these next two are already quoted to death but I just couldn't resist)
Peter Marshall: What are "dual purpose"cattle good for that other cattle aren't?
Paul Lynde: They give milk and cookies...but I don't recommend the cookies!

Peter Marshall: Paul, why do Hell's Angels wear leather?
Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.

It's in a teeny tiny little cemetery in the middle of nowhere, Ohio.

7. How many comedians can make you laugh-- just by smiling

I remember reading somewhere that he was really not on Bewitched more than a very few times, yet he was so memorable that most think he was on all the time. I know that he is like that for me. Those were the best episodes, for sure.


Paul was really great... RIP, sir... You are DEFINITELY missed

8. He was a wonderful wiseass

I've been known to give the snappy comeback now and then but rarely with as much panache and never in a venue that didn't get me into trouble.

RIP, Paul, and thanks for the laughs.

9. Saw him on Broadway when I was very young.

My favorite uncle used to spirit us away to New York and give my mother a break quite a lot. We had a nice ride from western Massachusetts to Brooklyn, McDonald's and antiquing along the way. He took us to see "Bye Bye Birdie" twice. It was my first experience of Paul Lynde. He warmed up the universe, can't praise him enough.

Anyone or anything that brings back memories of my uncle Kenneth has best in the world status.

11. He had a a rather large influence on my early love of comedy.

between him and Dangerfield the one liner became an art form.

12. I watched a lot of Hollywood Squares when I was a kid and laughed like a loon.

I am sure I did not get any of those one-liners, but his delivery cracked me up. Thank you so much for posting these so I can laugh again and know what I am laughing about!

:rofl:

17. "I've got a wonderful wife, two swell kids, a good job and now this!"

And then the maniacal laugh.
I still find myself walking around singing that song.

Glad to see this thread still on page 1.
