If you have never seen Larry Griswold before, you are in for a treat. He defies serious injury about 5 times a minute doing this diving board comedy routine on the Frank Sinatra Show in 1951. What a master!
holy shit
Badassery right there.
Awesome, now that was entertaining.
And he did all that in a suit and dress shoes.

oh, almost all of that
TV really isn't like this nowadays
That's when TV was good
This made me laugh more than any common comedy show in today's generation.
good ole classic tv humor, back when everything was original!
I can't imagine anyone even getting close to getting away with this today. At least, not in England. The Health and Safety brigade, the saviours of humanity that they are, would insist he wore so much protective gear that it'd actually make his act [I]more[/I] dangerous.
I can't stop watching this, I wonder how many times he had to practice before he got it right and didn't risk breaking his neck.
Wow that was great. Makes me think of how crappy entertainment is these days compared to back then.
Nobody beats Charlie Chaplin when it comes to comedy in my book.
Damnit, I want to live in the fifties.
Holy fuck. That was amazing and funny at the same time.
Oh I better take off my watch, don't wanna get that baby wet. *puts watch in pocket*
These days stuntmen just stunt, I'd much rather watch some of this than some guys jumping off rooftops and shit.
I need to find a collection of actual entertainment and talent from those days.
