Your ibox is looking good. A lot of funny people in there.
Here's a small one of Joe E Brown:
Your pictures are outstanding! I think they're just a little too big...so, I keep puttin' in the best I can find in the roughly 200 x 300 pixels or so max size area. If, you find that one around the above range please post it. Thanks.
I definitely agree!!! Now that's a funny guy and a great athlete! I'll post a pic.
Joe E Brown
Joe E Brown joined the circus in 1902 at age 10. He toured in burlesque in an acrobatic act and also briefly played semi-pro baseball. He begin his movie career in 1928. Brown alternated between playing naive young men who made good despite impossible odds, or brash braggarts who had to be taken down a peg or two. His trademark was his huge mouth, cavernous grin, and drawn out yell.
a brief biography and a list of his movies can be found here:

I'm finding a lot of it on Google's video search area (images...on Google's image search). I've become very familiar with it and it's size...video/image database is growing rapidly. But, some other things I know helps too.
Good stuff!

How Monty Python changed the world
Innovative troupe subject of autobiography
By Todd Leopold
CNN
Thursday, December 11, 2003 Posted: 10:01 AM EST (1501 GMT)
Monty Python in 1969 (clockwise from top left): Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, John Cleese and Terry Jones.
TV: On BBC, 1969-74
Movies: "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1975); "Monty Python's Life of Brian" (1979); "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" (1983)
Albums include: "Monty Python's Matching Tie and Hankerchief" (1973); "Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album" (1980); "Monty Python Sings" (1991); "Monty Python Live! at City Center" (1997)
(CNN) -- No matter where you look, even in some of the remotest parts of the planet, you can't avoid Monty Python.
Just ask Michael Palin.
The Monty Python member was recently in the Himalayas making the latest in his series of travel programs. As he climbed a peak in the Annapurna group, making a steep ascent of one of the highest mountains in the world, he stopped to catch his breath.
At that moment a pair of mountain climbers came by. They saw Palin and a thousand Python references must have hit: "The Lumberjack Song." "It's the Mind." "The Cheese Shop." "Sam Peckinpah's 'Salad Days.' " "The Parrot Sketch." "Nudge-nudge, wink-wink." "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" "And now for something completely different."
"And one of them turned to me," recalls Palin in an interview from his home in London, "and said, 'Oh my God! Eric Idle!' "
OK, so maybe there are limits to fame.
But when it comes to the impact of "Monty Python's Flying Circus," the troupe created by Palin, Idle, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam in 1969 for a groundbreaking BBC TV show and several movies, "limits" is the last word that comes to mind.
Python has been called "the Beatles of comedy," and its impact can be seen in everything from "Saturday Night Live" to "The Simpsons" to "South Park." The group's story is captured in a new coffee-table book, "The Pythons" (St. Martin's/Thomas Dunne Books), written by the group itself.
"[The comedy] was completely original -- fresh and anarchic," says Kim "Howard" Johnson, the author of several books on the group (and, most recently, an assistant to Cleese). "Python has the ability to transcend generations. They never had the widest audience, but they had the hippest audience."
'We were being different'
Cherie Kerr, a founder of the Los Angeles improv group the Groundlings (a major "SNL" stepping stone) who now runs an executive communications skills company, credits Python with influencing a generation of comedy writers and performers.

Ah, Fawlty Towers! Good British comedy.
My favorite British comedy
Fawlty Towers
John Cleese....Basil Fawlty
Prunella Scales....Sybil Fawlty
Andrew Sachs....Manuel
Connie Booth....Polly
Only 2 seasons and 12 shows were made. I like this plot outline from IMDB:
Inept and manic English hotel owner and manager, Basil Fawlty, isn't cut out for his job. He's intolerant, rude and paranoid. All hell frequently breaks loose as Basil tries to run the hotel, constantly under verbal (and sometime physical) attack from his unhelpful wife Sybil, and hindered by the incompetent, but easy target, Manuel; their Spanish waiter.
They're not as well remembered as other comedy teams of the time like the Three Stooges or Laural & Hardy. They were funny though. If you like shows like Green Acres or Petticoat Junction you would probably like Lum & Abner.
I don't remember those two...
Lum and Abner...
I feel like an ole;timer!!!
Lum (Chester Lauck) and Abner (Norris Goff) played the co-owners of the "Jot 'em Down Store" in the fictional town of Pine Ridge Arkansas. They aired on the radio from 1932 - 1954. And Made 7 movies:
Dreaming Out Loud (1940)
The Bashful Bachelor (1942)
Two Weeks To Live (1943)
So This Is Washington (1943)
Going To Town (1944)
Partners in Time (1946)
Lum and Abner Abroad (1956)
Turner Classic Movies (TCM) plays their shows sometimes. That's where I saw them.
Here are some movie posters of them.

FWIW...I really like this show and Betty White:
The Betty White Show
Beloved comedian Betty White returns for her own show where she plays an actress drawn out of retirement. Things get complicated when it turns out Betty's former husband will be her new director. Can she survive her nutty cast members and ditzy best friend. Episodes 4, 6, and 8.
Black and White, 3 Full-Length Shows.
Price: $3.95

Wow...I've heard of them...but, I don't know their stuff/routine/material.
Yes, I like Red as well...especially, his earlier films and comedy show from the 1950's (the few shows that I've seen of it). I'll put one of his pics up now.
Your photo of him is great!
One of my favorites.
Red Skelton
Yes that's Robert Woolsey.
And another good one.
Lum & Abner
As I recall...I have seen the guy in glasses in an old film or two and he is quite funny and very talented!
I like old comedies from the 20's - 50's.
Here's a comedy team that few people remember today.
Bert Wheeler & Robert Woolsey with Dorothy Lee
Thanks! Nice Laurel and Hardy pic! Yeah, they belong here too!
In fact, I'm really not going to be too particular about the comedy related stuff that's posted here.
I'm just lookin' for some fun, relief, humor and friends.
Hope to see ya around.
"You've done it again Stanley!"
"I didn't mean to Ollie!"
:)
Thanks. If, you find anything you think might belong here...feel free to post it.
ps. That is the The Pleiades? I really enjoy looking at them with my telescope. Very beautiful and fascinating.
Great idea for a board....
good luck guys...
Life Warrior
In fact, I was thinking about finding some Lenny Bruce stuff for this board. I probably will some day soon. If, you have anything by him that you'd like to post...please do so.
Dangerfield's "I don't get no respect" routine is a classic though.
Not much difference...just as ugly and just as sarcastic. Pryor's a bit too wimpy for me. Emo phillips? Don't know this one's stuff.
To each his or her own.
How about Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, Emo Phillips?
I could go on
Well, how about providing a non-horrible example? These folks are about the only ones who can balance my experiences in this world...and especially, what I've learned through the development of my board linked below.
I guess things are going well for you and everything's coming up roses.
Man, judging by the stuff you've chosen to display...you have one HORRIBLE sense of humor
