    Finally a nod to CGoG! Love that album!
    Hudson and Landry had some good discs.
    And I found Vaughn Meader's Second Coming to be great!
    I love our parents version of Allan Sherman -- Spike Jones
    Today, we have the Arrogant Worms. Well worth checking out! Carrot Juice is Murder is particularly good.

    And of course the classics -- Smothers, Cosby, Cheech & Chong, Newhart, Sherman, Wes Harrison.
    If I can get to my comedy vinyl, I can probably add a dozen more.

    This hasn't been mentioned yet; it's very hard to find with the elusive booklet:

    This is another great one - for some reason, I can't embed a pic:

    I have both of them. If you watched Dave Letterman back in the day, he was right up there with Andy Kaufman... speaking of which, Drag City issued an LP in 2013:

    Andy Kaufman - Andy And His Grandmother

    This is funny but the last track that shows how they hone their material is roll on the floor kind of stuff.

    Musical comedy:
    Rusty Warren - She played piano and sang bawdy songs and told racy jokes in between. Songs For Sinners, Knockers Up, and several of her other albums are pretty easy to scare up in thrift stores. Mild by today's standards but pretty risqué for the early '60s.
    P.D.Q. Bach - High brow spoofs of classical music with full orchestration.
    Anna Russell - Classically trained singer and musicologist. On her classic In Darkest Africa (the only comedy album in my collection on the Columbia Masterworks label), accompanying herself on piano, guitar, and bagpipes, she took the academic stuffiness out of opera and folk music. She lived to be 100.
    Spike Jones -With a big band augmented with bells, whistles, bicycle horns, vocal tricks, etc., Spike Jones is Murdering the Classics is essential.
    The Smothers Brothers - Satirical takes on folk music, straight comedy, and musically they occasionally even played it straight.

    Mud Will Be Flung Tonight by Bette Midler is pretty funny.
    The 59 cent price tag makes me miss the glory days of cut-out bins.

    Don't forget Victor Borge (along similar lines to P.D.Q. Bach, but a solo piano act).

    I had a bunch of Smothers Brothers LPs... it led me into things like finding out what the radio show The Whistler was because that was in one of the routines. I love their music, it wouldn't even have to be funny. :cool:

    Australian summers in the 80s wouldn't have been the same without the 12th man (Billy Birmingham)
    If you like cricket the 12th man is the man

    Billy's impersonations of the channel 9 commentary team went into Aussie folklore .

    The funniest thing ever, Dudley Moore ` And the Same to You`, a genius at work.
    The version on the record goes on forever with him trying to stop playing and the tune morphing into another tune without end...and then he starts to panic as he cannot finish.
    His facial expressions are priceless.

    Has Barnes and Barnes `FISH HEADS` ...."They don`t go to Discos, they can`t dance!"....great for singing in the car.
    And Wild Man Fischer `Go to Rhino Records` ...."They`ll show you where the records are"........"Where are the records?"......"They`re over there...they`re all over the place!"

    Somebody taped me a Derek and Clive album when I was 10 years old. It was "Come Again" I think. This material is really funny to a 10 year old. I found it hilarious. :D

    In the late 70s, i had a load of Tony Hancock, Fawlty towers and Jasper Carrot LP's... This was the days before VCRs and was basically all we had... Great days though.
