Do you like slapstick comedy?

[caramel]

When I was young, there was so much comedy I didn't care for. I didn't like slapstick, especially physical comedy.

I didn't like the 3 stooges or Lucille Ball or Carol Burnett or Jerry Lewis.

That was a lot of what was showing as comedy at the time. I loved to laugh and laughed a lot, but felt my sense of comedy didn't match the comedy of the time.

Do you like slapstick comedy or can you relate to my situation when I was growing up?

I never was a fan of slapstick or physical comedy either. I prefer a "dry" comedy style. i always enjoyed comedians such as Steven Wright and Bob Newhart. So I can relate to your situation .

I like most forms of comedy, I liked Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, Jerry Lewis and the Three Stooges which I still watch every Saturday night on MeTV.

I didn’t like the 3 stooges but I liked all the others you mentioned. I also loved John Candy and Steve Martin. I like other types as well.

I never thought of Lucille Ball as a slapstick comedienne. Carol Burnett I never watched. I did enjoy Get Smart, a tv show starring Don Adams and Barbara Feldon. There were some hilarious physical bits in that show.

I love "Laurel and Hardy." I dislike "The three Stooges". I love "I Love Lucy" and "The Carol Burnett Show". I think I don't like slapstick but then I think that Slap Stick is a lot of times part of situation comedies. I'm more interested in having something tickle my funny bone than bones being tossed around the room.

Oh, God, I love slapstick! I can't even think about the banana peel without seriously worrying about my hernia.
There are not enough banana peels in the world for me. And, helpful tip, did you know you can polish your shoes with them?
This gift of physical comedy was received courtesy of DebraMae. I am forever grateful.

It never occurred to me that Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett were considered slapstick. I adore both I Love Lucy and The Carol Burnett Show; however, I've never cottoned to The Three Stooges or Laurel and Hardy. So I'm not sure where I stand!

Loved Lucy and Carol Burnette. Like @KSav I didn't think either of them were considered "Slapstick" either. Never could stand The Three Stooges. I guess I can say that in general, I don't care for Slapstick.
