DESCRIPTION
This show popularized a rapid style of vignette comedy show where comedy sketches, punch-lines and gags are edited together in a rapid and almost random format. Regular trademark elements included the joke wall, the dancing women painted with one-liners and the fickle finger of fate award. This series would inspire such shows as Monty Python's Flying Circus and Sesame Street.

THIS is the show that WAS the 60s. It's many catchphrases were the common currency of casual hip conversation, young and old.
Laugh-In featured a number of stars in its changing lineups, and often brought in established stars and public figures, such as Jack Benny, Carl Reiner (just recently RIP at time of this writing), Johnny Carson, Zsa Zsa Gabor (one of the first "modern" celebrities who was famous for being famous), Sammy Davis Jr., conservative luminary Wiliam F. Buckley, and of course, a cameo of then-President Richard Nixon delivering a disbelieving "Sock it - to ME?". Perhaps most famously, it introduced America to an astonishing musical act who performed under the name of Tiny Tim.
It was humor of a kind never before seen on television. To a degree, it followed the classic vaudeville and burlesque routines featuring fast paced one-gag sketches, one absurd gag, that is, which a few TV performers like Ernie Kovacs had pioneered, but with a new "relevant" twist -- parodying and lampooning contemporary political and social trends in ways which had never been seen on television, and which kept the frenetic pace going for nearly the full hour.
Laugh In also pushed the boundaries and sensibilities of the censors, often slipping in bawdy double entendre. For example, Dan asks Judy Carne if she'd shave her head for a bit in the show, she responds that she's "never been bald on television before." Another time, Dan & others rattle off setups and punchlines to some VERY naughty jokes: "How far is The Old Log Inne?" and "Thursday's your day in the barrel." among them.
The show featured recurring routines, chief among them, "The Party". Episodes usually began with Dan & Dick's banter on stage, which Dan would wrap up by saying something like "It's time to go to the party!" This would be an ensemble routine, with cast members, usually in character, tossing off one-liners or brief exchanges punctuated by the theme go-go dance music.
Another regular bit which is now particularly funny, poignant, and sentimental is from the weekly news roundup. There was often a segment announced as "News of the future, 20 years from now! New York City, 1989 . . . " which actually hits pretty hard to those of who were there when 1989 WAS 20 years in the future! (Personal note - Laugh In was one of the few shows I was allowed to come downstairs and watch even if I HADN'T finished all my homework!)
But enough of this. Go watch some Laugh In. All 6 seasons, plus lots of bonus material, mostly cast interviews, plus one original song (our own contribution) which seems to have inspired one running routine on the show. You'll know which one it is!
And that's our show for the evening. Say Goodnight, Dick.
Goodnight, Dick!
