Controversial Opinions (For Everything Other Than DC Comics)

[TheRay]

What can I say? I like the wrong crowd!

Any crowd that doesn’t see the sheer, unadulterated brilliance in The Six Stooges is not one I ever want to see outside of a D and D campaign.

I prefer the Marx Brothers (though usually when there are four of them)

You know, I watched them on TV as a kid, and then as an adult...they didn't age well, unlike the Stooges, who are timeless. "Scale that fish!"

Shame, too, I loved Groucho and Harpo as a kid. I still love the Stooges though.

Fun trivia fact: The Queen albums A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races are both named after Marx Bros. films. There's even pictures of the band presenting Groucho with a gold record.

I prefer the Marx Brothers, but I love the Stooges, too. In fact, either the latter or The Little Rascals were the first cinematic comedy team I can recall watching (the late '60s).

I liked the Marx brothers, Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin, and the Stooges. I wasn't crazy about Abbott and Costello or the Rascals, but could sit through their stuff.

A&C were my favorites as a kid and still are. I own all of their movies and their television show on DVD. One of the first things I ever taped on my first tape recorder was their Who's on First skit 43 years ago.

Love L&H and Chaplin, too, though Buster Keaton is my favorite from the silent era. Watched a lot of Bob Hope, Danny Kaye, and The Bowery Boys as a youngster, too.

I wonder how popular the Bowery Boys were outside of the NYC/tri-state area?

I heard of the Bowery Boys, but hadn't seen anything with them. A Boston UHF station showed Chaplin on Sundays and Laurel & Hardy and Abbott & Costello movies showed from time to time, but the Bowery Boys were sonething I had never recall seeing and I've been a Masshole my entire life.

Ive seen several of their movies. I always wondered why they were considered so tough. All they did was hang out outside that building and talk like toughs but they never really did anything.

At the risk of potentially coming under fire, I don't think actual "trolls" have existed online since like 2015. At least not in any sort of widespread way that some people like to make it out to be.

The Russians have "Troll Farms" that pretty much invaded Facebook and other social media in 2016 and 2020.

The original (and serious) incarnation of them (The Dead End Kids) were tough. As they moved away from drama with each new variation (Little Tough Guys to The East Side Kids and finally The Bowery Boys), however, they lost that toughness.

I doubt mentioning that I love Monty Python would be controversial, but I feel they need to be in that great comedy troupes conversation. You know, I can't think of another similar group that hit it that big since them.

They have a couple good movies I will admit. But for me the tv show was 2 funny skits and 300 hours of garbage.
