Funnymen

About This Movie

So, 'Funnymen' is one of those quirky gems from the early '80s that really captures a moment in home video history. Directed by Michael O'Mahony, it’s a compilation that kind of feels like a time capsule. The whole vibe is laid-back, with Marty Allen hosting and setting a friendly tone. You’ve got stand-up bits from legends like George Burns and Frank Gorshin, which is a mix of classic humor that flows in a way that feels both nostalgic and charmingly awkward at times. The pacing varies, but it doesn’t really drag - it’s more like a cozy night of laughs with friends. The practical effects? Well, it’s all about the performers here, and their charisma makes it feel lively. It's definitely a piece that reflects a certain lightheartedness of the era.
