Doubletalk.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jim @ 7:37 pm

I was at Eric’s place, and I enjoyed the video of the drunk, mumbling British guy. That reminded me of the great Al Kelly, the master of “doubletalk.” Al Kelly was a regular on the old Candid Camera show.

Check out this hilarious clip of Al Kelly posing as a judge in traffic court. Cracked me up, it did.

Unfortunately, Al Kelly passed away in 1966, because I would love to have seen him ask a question to the candidates in the Town Hall Presidential Debate. I suspect their answers wouldn’t have made any more sense than the question.

  1. Heh. Nice!

    It’s your Boitday, and you give us a present.

    Many happy returns of the day, Jimbo. Many more flavors of Three Olives Vodka to prove.

    (((hugs!)))

  3. I just came over to say, “Hey, isn’t today your birthday?”

    How do I remember this? Because, I think I told you, I’d never met someone who wasn’t an asshole who was born on this day. You were the first. 🙂

    Happy Birthday!

  6. OH NO! I was referring to my fil and well, someone else very prominent in my life.

    Good Lord.

  9. Heh… I loved the second victim.

    And the sad thing, Jimbo, is that if the connedtodates were posed a question by Mr. Kelly, they would probably be able to clearly understand it. Doesn’t mean that their answers would make much more sense, though…

    Oh, and Happy Birthday to you, Jimbo. And to that asshole Zonker guy, as well!

  20. Yo, Jim….

    That’s me. But you took down the clip.. can you write and let me know where you found this. The only thing posted here is the still shot of me making a fool of myself in front of the “judge.” Every once in a while I try to look for the segment so I can show it to my kids.
