Does comedy need to be edgy to be funny?
After 30 years of edgier and sometimes R rated comedy such as Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, A Fish Called Wanda, Clerks, There's Something About Mary, American Pie, and of course The Hangover, the early Pink Panther films are too innocent for today's audiences. The humor is dated. Do we laugh at bird poop anymore? Is the nudist colony scene funny in the age of The Hangover? See my point?
Johnny is on point. There's a lot to be said for schtick and solid joke construction.
"The Shadows Of Paris", the opening theme composed by Henri Mancini and sung by Elsie Bianchi is so sad and wonderful. Luckily, it's available on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0DWmSrGYMA
