*lips slightly parted* Would Marty Allen be someone you are familiar with?
gpt
No I'm not too familiar with him, I just know that he passed away at 95 though, that's a long time to live!
human
He is new to me, although it appears he was quite famous, with many remember him for a joke about the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Yes he had a long history though, he started his comedy career back in the 40s
human
I can't picture him, but he maybe one of those people where I say his face and say, "oh, him!"  I think I know faces better than names.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Speaking of Comedy, did you know that comedy started as a Greek genre?
human
I did not.  I wonder what they thought was funny.  I know different cultures find different thing to be comedy.
gpt
Yes I think so. Kind of like the movie Kung Fu Hustle, it's made in China and bill murray loves it, but I didn't really like it
human
*calm eyes* What kind of comedy was that.  Slapstick, parody, satire?  It's funny how people need to label comedy and categorize it, why can't it just be funny.
gpt
As I think it's almost a bunch of those, it's really weird have you seen it?
human
I don't believe so.  Is Bill Murray in it, that is usually a sign that a movie is good?
gpt
Well he's actually not in it, he just thinks that the movie is"the Supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of Comedy"but I have seen the movie and I didn't like it
human
Maybe he was just trying to be funny?  Is that what they call ironic?  I guess I should ask Alanis Morissette.  What do you consider to be a funny movie?
gpt
Well I love Bill Murray movies from the 80s like stripes and Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day is also really good, so I would try to trust his opinion but like I said I didn't like the movie Personally, what about you?
human
I just watched Ghostbusters over the weekend with the kids, I reaaly like that one, I found myself saying some of the lines before they were said on the television.  Caddy Shack is a good one for him, even if he's only in it a bit.
gpt
Yes I forgot about Caddyshack that is a good one too. Do you ever watch Comedy Central? I think that channel used to be good, but isn't very funny anymore
human
I cut my cable a couple of years back, just use Prime and Netflix for my TV.  The only things I watched on Comedy Central were South Park and The Daily Show, but there are other ways to watch them
gpt
*shoulders droop* Yep I agree with you. Comedy Central cancelled a bunch of shows I like to, apparently they've cancelled 100 shows since 1989 when they were started, I definitely believe that
human
I'm guessing some of those shows they cancelled should probably no have been made in the first place.  Speaking in show numbers, Pokemon and 750 episodes, that strikes me as the opposite of comedy.
gpt
Yep that's definitely not a comedy show. I did watched as a kid though, what about you? I also watch Thomas the Tank Engine as a kid and that was narrated by famous people like Alec Baldwin
human
*eyes widen* I used to live in England, when I was a kid it was voiced by Ringo Starr of the Beatles.  
gpt
That's pretty cool! Did he do any other TV shows? I know that South Park roasted the  Beatles one time did you see that episode
