One of his best responses was to a question about cooking. The question was: “According to the food critic of the Dallas Morning News, what’s a good reason for pounding meat?” Paul’s response: “Oh, loneliness!” The audience laughed for 15 minutes straight.
As a 1960s-1970s child and teen, I loved him on Bewitched, Hollywood Squares, and on his own sitcom from 1973. That show is on You Tube. He was so funny.
One of the funniest bewitched episodes was when Uncle Arthur was going to teach Darrin an incantation to get Endora to back off when she got nasty. He gives Darrin a kazoo and a cowbell and makes him sing the "yagga zoozy song". I laughed out loud and I still do. Darrin is singing this stupid song and playing the kazoo and shaking the cowbell and Uncle Arthur is back in the hallway laughing so hard he is losing it.
Paul Lynde acts the same way in every role he plays. The reason that he was not more successful in Hollywood was because of his limited range. For the most part Lynde was funny yet he could be cruel at times.
Paul was a comedic genious with perfect timing for his zingers. I loved him on TV in everything he played in. He was hysterical in everything he did on TV.
Some of the best scenes in Bewitched, are the ones with Uncle Arthur and Endora. And he ad-libbed his whole role, iirc. Freaking hilarious! RIP Mr. Lynde
Agnes Moorehead was a seasoned actress and Bewitched was lucky to have her. Paul and she had a lot of similarities in ability to deliver lines. Check out how she and many co-workers died.
I had forgotten just what a laugh riot this man was. The whole situation in America has made me pretty despondent and when I found this video I decided that what I will do is rather than watch it all at once I will break it into 15 minutes segments everyday just to remember that there is still laughter and lightness in the world!
GOD Bless you Bayou Boy, I too am utterly devastated at what they're doing to us, to our country, to our money and even to Canada... So I'm glad you've found something to take your mind off of things, take care of yourself. As for me I pray daily that we can have Brandon & Horrible Heels Up, IMPEACHED, It's the only way that we can survive... Amen
I watched Paul on betwitched as a kid.. Watching these i love how when he cracks a quick joke the lil laugh he does real quick then goes back to being serious! Man was hysterical!
One of my favorite Paul Lynde responses was when he was asked, "Paul, why do motorcycle drivers wear leather jackets?" He paused for a moment, and then responded, "because chiffon wrinkles". I never forgot that line. It was one of the funniest he ever came up with. He was a trouble man in his private life, but a wonderful character in the roles he played. RIP.
@@jmarlo Exactly. They all were, lol. He was performer who was given a script. Whenever people picked the center square, he was given a Paul Lynde-specific question. His claim to fame was the way he delivered those pre-written, sometimes risqué, humorous responses.
@@Kimidoyle I'm only repeating what everyone connected with the show says. HS was a comedy show, disguised as a game show, and had a staff of writers writing the questions, their plausible bluff answers, and of course, the all important comedic zingers. Each week, they filmed that week's 5 episodes, in one day. Each star had their own dedicated set of questions(you can often see Peter Marshall carefully selecting a star specific question), and prior to an episode's filming, the stars were taken aside and without revealing the actual questions(which they technically heard for the first time on camera), were supplied with correct answers, plausible bluffs and in certain cases, comedic zingers. Paul Lynde, being the center square, got picked more often than the others, and was the main purveyor of the comedy writers' efforts, written specifically for Paul Lynde's "voice", based on who he was and how he was perceived. So 3-5, at most, jokes per episode, delivered in his inimitable style. To use the joke above, prior to filming that episode, Lynde was told that bikers wear leather to prevent road rash, though some people think it's to keep warm, but it's definitely not because chiffon wrinkles too easily. Boom! It's locked in his short term memory and when he hears the actual question for the first time, he's got the zinger on deck and when the laughter dies down he's free to reply with the correct answer, the plausible bluff or some other answer. Next time he's called, he's got another one of those 3-5 sets of answer packages , he was just briefed on, to help him reply with. The gameplay was legit and the stars were free to answer how they saw fit-bluff or answer correctly, but only after they delivered their zinger, IF they actually had one written for them. That's why some of the other stars' "jokes" seem weak, they are supplying their own, spur of the moment, attempts at cleverness. Obviously, Paul Lynde was free to paraphrase or come up with his own improvements on the supplied zinger and might very well have, from time to time, but as I said, his claim to fame was his perfect delivery of those supplied jokes.
I was a kid when he was in his prime - ALWAYS LOVED his humor and quick wit. ZERO CLUE about his preferences and honestly never cared even after I learned years after his passing. There will never be a talent like him - ever.
Hard to believe that Lynde struggled financially before he got rich...and he didn't live that long being very wealthy. He was just so awesomely talented.
I especially loved Paul Lynde in his role of Templeton the Rat in Charlotte’s Web. I would sit and watch it just because I loved his voice coming out to Templeton’s mouth…such a total card!
He had a great part on Bewitched when he was sitting on the couch and claimed, "my feet are killing me." They pan to his feet and they both have handguns pointed at him shooting. Probably my favorite TV scene ever.
Omg. Somehow I never knew that, but ai can hear him singing A Fair is a veritable smorgasbord- makes sense. Edit - I just watched it on CZcams and the goose that tells him about it is Agnes Moorhead, who was Endora
The man was a comic genius....his razor wit was incredible....you can see him thinking about the one liner answers....that was talent you can’t find anymore...he was one of a kind.....thank you for making me laugh when times were bad R.I.P Mr Lynd
True or false: Rose Marie, our own Rose Marie, entertained on a cruise ship. Lynde: "Not according to the reviews. Anyway, she thought it was a troop ship. Or maybe I should have said a tramp steamer." During this Rose Marie was cracking up. Great comedian.
Paul made makes me laugh so hard he helps ease my depression makes me laugh like a silly goose iliked him since high school when he was on Holly Wood Sqares in the 70s !!
I love Paul Lynde. I watched Bewitched from the first episode and it was in black and white. Paul's first role in that series was Samantha's driving instructor. It was hysterical❣️Watch it if you have never seen it. Later, he came back as Uncle Arthur. Back in those days, I guess there wasn't enough people to take roles, so, actresses and actors would play more than one role on a show. It was common place. I don't think I ever saw him in anything that wasn't outrageously funny, pure natural talent❣️😂🤣I love you Paul❣️ RIP😂🤣🕯️🎆😇😁🥰💖🌹☮️🇺🇲🤗🦋
Paul, RIP...I recall watching you on TV as a kid. My life lately has taken such a rotten turn...watching you brings a smile to me, which I need so much. You made me laugh and still do! No one will EVER replace your talent!
+Lynn Bechard-Hulley Wrong, fact they were briefed ahead of time with the questions and Paul had writers. This is a fact not a opinion. That doesn’t mean he didn’t come up with some answers on the fly.
I really miss Paul Lynde he was so 👍 great smart, & witty and certain risky questions that were asked just by his reaction you knew he was trying to keep it clean 😊
I will always think Paul's funniest thing was on Bewitched when Darin was fooled into thinking that he had been given the ability to cast spells like a warlock!
Anyone who can make you laugh, and feel good, is worth more than gold. Things only truly perish when they're forgotten; Paul will always be remembered. Memories can be even more precious than experience I sometimes think. He seems more valuable as time goes by. 'Rest in peace' Paul, but I don't think we can let you.
I remember Paul Lynne on a episode of the Munsters where he played a Doctor that was doing a Physical on Herman and he was trying to find his Glasses and when he finally did his reaction was "whole cow what happened!
Paul won several Emmys for his role on the Hollywood Squares. His sharp wit and delivery were such fun. My mom and I watched the show daily, mostly for Paul’s humour. I didn’t understand many of his jokes but laughed anyway because of his funny delivery.
Here is an interesting fact about Paul Lynde. I found this in a wikipedia about him.

you realize that he was furnished the questions before the game so he can think of a witty answer before they go on the air... all the celebs would be treated like that...
lol so they would have though up the exact answer as each other? they have questions specific for each celebrity... if someone picks paul, peter has a stack of questions that are just for paul, etc... stop commenting on things you know nothing about.
+ndspeedster.....obviously you're too stupid to get the point...it was the way he said things that made them funny. Again, you're too stupid to understand that....and that makes you angry......good....stay angry.
im stupid? lol ive probably forgotten more than you will ever know while you surf the net in your mom's basement. moron. I get the point..but you don't obviously. except the point under your baseball hat which is probably turned backwards and stained with Cheetos dust you fat fuck.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this, it has just been a pleasure laughing at one amazing comic as he was, my all time favorite. He was one of kind!!!
Always loved Paul Lynde! My first celebrity crush (and I was born in 1972...and I'm female). Another revealing line at 27:27...the "secret" question. "If I told it to a man, he might hit me." Lol!
Writers gave Cliff Arquette(lovely Rosanna's grandpa)some excellent answers but, those Mr. Lynde had ready(thought up, himself),always, were clever and, quite amusing! This was enhanced, by his impeccable delivery and, timing-as has been noted.
This is Absolute Gold.. Paul Lynde was Very Intelligent.. Brilliant.. And Extremely Witty and Just Downright Hilarious... I Laughed So Hard... And Man Does He Nail Alice Ghostley's Manerism's.. And The Snickers at The End... Perfect... Lol.. Rest in Power to The One and Only Paul Lynde 💖💖
Paul Lynde was so. terrific. Can you imagine if he had been born later and hadn't had to hide his sexuality how even more brilliant his campy humour would have been. Today he could just let it rip. Those times were so cruel. No wonder he was so troubled.😢
Especially now that the left has killed comedy; it’s doubtful that any of the greats Bruce, Rickles, Rivers, Lynde, etc could survive today’s cancel culture .
@@CanvasCanary Ask the comedians. Or the movie directors. Most say that so of the funniest movies and tv shows ever made could not me made today because everyone is “so easily offended” (same as ‘a lack of humor’).
Paul Lynde was my Uncle. We miss him.
❤ you’re so lucky!!!!
Mel Brooks once said of Paul, "Paul could read the phone book and be funny".
Peter: Paul, what is a biplane.
Paul(without any hesitation): A plane that goes both ways.
One of his best responses was to a question about cooking. The question was: “According to the food critic of the Dallas Morning News, what’s a good reason for pounding meat?” Paul’s response: “Oh, loneliness!” The audience laughed for 15 minutes straight.
Love this man😂😂😂
Paul was a gem. We need him in the world today.
Paul Lynde was a national treasure.
Forty years ago we lost this wonderful man. To this day he still has me in stitches!!
Paul Lynde died of a heart attack in 1982 at age 55. It was a devastating loss to the whole world. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Ecckky eccky poo poo!
40yrs really wow
@@adairadair9490that make you around 70 years old.🤓
Awwww. Karen Valentine was visibly embarrassed😢

Buddy's laugh sounded fake.
Yeah I miss Buddy, Paul , and Charley Weaver ( Cliff Arquette , a very interesting man in real life).
Can't stand Buddy Hackett!
@@elizabethroy1079 Any reason?
As a 1960s-1970s child and teen, I loved him on Bewitched, Hollywood Squares, and on his own sitcom from 1973. That show is on You Tube. He was so funny.
I was born in 1965...loved him!!! I still love him in "Bye, Bye Birdie"!
I only saw the sitcom on youtue it wasn't great. However, I loved him everywhere. He will always be Uncle Arthur
One of the funniest bewitched episodes was when Uncle Arthur was going to teach Darrin an incantation to get Endora to back off when she got nasty. He gives Darrin a kazoo and a cowbell and makes him sing the "yagga zoozy song". I laughed out loud and I still do.

I watched the show mostly for Paul Lynde for the most part !!
I love how he laughs after he says something
Paul Linde, He acts the same way in Bewitched. And is funny. He's charming. My favorite Guest in Hollywood Squares. Watching it 5/30/20
Paul Lynde acts the same way in every role he plays. The reason that he was not more successful in Hollywood was because of his limited range. For the most part Lynde was funny yet he could be cruel at times.
Watching it 7/30/24
Lynde was the best center square.
Alan Alda was good too
Perfect Spot for him. 👍
He was great, we lost him way too soon!!
Paul was a comedic genious with perfect timing for his zingers. I loved him on TV in everything he played in. He was hysterical in everything he did on TV.

Loved Paul!😅😅😂😊
taq😅
HIS ZINGERS WERE SCRIPTED
Now you’re old.😳😳🧐🤭
Gotta love Paul ,one in a million
This was such a Great Show!! You’ll never see this duplicated. I’m not sure if it was even tried. It’s all about Timing!!! 🙏🏻👼😎👼🙏🏻

He
Most if not all Hollywood stars are the same in that regard, poor before rich.
There are many brilliant and hilarious poor people. They just happened to not be born wealthy.
Also, he was a gay man in a much more homophobic time. It was a blessing he survived to old age rather than being the victim of a hate crime.

Actually, I think he had more than one! 😊
The way he queened it up was hilarious
Writers gave Cliff Arquette(lovely Rosanna's grandpa)some excellent answers but, those Mr. Lynde had ready(thought up, himself),always, were clever and, quite amusing! This was enhanced, by his impeccable delivery and, timing-as has been noted.
Don Crabbe he actually didn’t thinking up them, they were all written by his own writers.
@@rachaelbly6714 NOPE
Cliff often got questions on American history; he was a history buff.
I read once that some of the stars were given questions in advance to prepare these zingers. Very few were truly ad-libbed
Paul Lynde was a riot!
This is Absolute Gold.. Paul Lynde was Very Intelligent.. Brilliant.. And Extremely Witty and Just Downright Hilarious... I Laughed So Hard... And Man Does He Nail Alice Ghostley's Manerism's.. And The Snickers at The End... Perfect... Lol.. Rest in Power to The One and Only Paul Lynde 💖💖
Paul Lynde was so. terrific. Can you imagine if he had been born later and hadn't had to hide his sexuality how even more brilliant his campy humour would have been. Today he could just let it rip. Those times were so cruel. No wonder he was so troubled.😢
Adversity is often the inspiration for greatness. In the world you imagine, he may not have evolved into the genius he was.
Especially now that the left has killed comedy; it’s doubtful that any of the greats Bruce, Rickles, Rivers, Lynde, etc could survive today’s cancel culture .
@@thomasmagnum3588 I don't think that the left has "killed comedy"; I think it's just made more people have to consider other people's feelings.😊

Ask the comedians.
Or the movie directors.
Most say that so of the funniest movies and tv shows ever made could not me made today because everyone is “so easily offended” (same as ‘a lack of humor’).
we miss you Uncle Arthur
best comment on the threat.
kingfish4242 And Templeton Rat as well!
From bewitched?
I loved Peter Marshall!! Paul too but Peter was such a great host!
He was the reason I watched the Hollywood squares he was so funny
this is the funniest thing ive ever seen in my life.
He was fantastic with an incredible sense of quik humor always
Loved Paul Lynde! He had a real gift for making me laugh. He is missed.
I was too young back then to appreciate his sense of humor. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Gawd he was fucking amazing.
And we have Karen to thank for the shot glass 🤣
Burn!
I know- that's a killer😁😁
True but also rather mean(since she was right there!) 😅
WHAT WAS THAT MASKED MAN I DIDN'T GET HIS NAME I WANTED TO THANK HIM. 💘 U PAUL
Thanx, I am deaf and MISSED that PUNCH line!
He's a legend!
THAT TARZAN SWINGS BOTH WAYS
He was a campy dear soul , just wanted to be loved and make people feel good! He was ashamed of his father being a butcher.
“I say let the child make up his own mind...” Absolutely Priceless!!!
Not even funny
And sadly prophetic.
Who knew this would be a relevant question today
