How many of you grew up with Benny Hill, raise your hands. I thought so.

Benny Hill had been an entertainer for many years, but it was Michael Caine's, The Italian Job that his career took off. The remake sucks gaping ass.

If we acknowledge George Carlin greatness, it's only fair that Benny Hill should be recognized.

 
He was the dirty old man version of Mr. Bean. Benny Hill was one of those shows that you sneakily watched when your parents went to bed. You can't make shows like this anymore.
 
I used to remember Dave Allen and Benny Hill back to back watching with my late Dad when I was really young back in the day laughing our heads off. Always enjoyed the ending with the music and him chasing the scantily clad women, it was the highlight. The guy was a comic genius.

Actually it was the scantily clad women chasing him.
 
LOVED watching this show as a kid in the 80s... got my hands on the digital versions for nostalgia and posterity. :)
 
I never got this guy, or the Bean guy for that matter. Just not funny to me.

But they brought a lot of joy into a lot of people's lives. Not an easy thing to do.

Benny Hill was among a group of British comedians who filled up many happy hours of telly back in the 50's and 60's. Comedy was like some sort of therapeutic sound track to life back then, and there. His earlier shows had scripts. and they were way funnier than the keystone cops silent movies we were treated to over here. Charlie Drake was another one who dominated tv. My friend used to chortle all the time about his character "The Scarlet Pumpernickel .....and his mate, The Crimson Dan-Dillion" In his younger days he told a reporter he used to save half his earnings and take the other half and travel around Europe. Allegedly he was fluent in a couple of other languages. After decades of being a breadwinner for his bosses, they unceremoniously sacked him. He retired to his apartment. Sat on the couch, and died a couple of years later.

Phil Collins, from Genesis, says he played one of the kids in the movie.
 
Benny Hill was great in short spats.

Looking back, even though the material was mostly 1970s stuff, it was still funny in the 80s when Hill was on Buffalo 29 and sometimes I think Global TV at 1 am.

The problem with Hill was he recycled the same jokes so many times, it's like he ran out of material.

Ready for another one?
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was written by Ian Fleming and produced by Albert Broccoli, both of James Bond fame.
After filming Broccoli talked to Dick Van Dyke about playing Jars Bond.
 
keeping in tune with the subject; did you know Benny Hill was in the movie 'The Italian Job'? Not the Marky Marky YR2003 porno version, but the original B&W YR1969 version

the beauty of remastered HD
