In his old age, Red Skelton married his best friends Daughter. One he used to baby sit till she was an adolescent. I think it was his second wife.

I loved watching him as a kid and like to go to Youtube and watch some of the videos there. Bob Hope was another favorite of mine.


And Jack Benny.

Red and his wife had a very close relationship. They had a son who died at a young age. On the anniversary of the son's death, his wife committed suicide. In my opinion, he would not make jokes about marriage as suggested by Mr. Dancers.

I grew up with Red Skelton and his humor. He was a remarkable man. He actually made more money with his art than on stage. Red Skelton considered himself a clown not a comedian. Comedians drew laughter mostly from insults. Red reflected life. After reading the 13 jokes you attributed to him, I don't recognize his style in any of them. However I did recognize a few of them as being material that Rodney Dangerfield actually used. The others were of Rodney's style. Is it possible you are confusing the two.

It was sent to me as being Red's words. I do not swear that it is so.

I agree, but the progressives will not stand for things like this in our schools. Maybe with President Trump we can see this back in our schools.

14. This morning she backed the car out of the garage for me, which I didn't appreciate much since I'd backed it in last night.

1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a
little beverage, good food and companionship
She goes on Tuesdays; I go on Fridays.

2. We also sleep in separate beds.
Hers is in California , and mine is in Texas .

3. I take my wife everywhere....
but she keeps finding her way back.

4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary.
'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' she said.
So I suggested the kitchen.

5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

6. She has an electric blender, electric
toaster and electric bread maker.
She said 'There are too many gadgets, and no place
to sit down!' So I bought her an electric chair.

7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well
because there was water in the carburetor.
I asked where the car was. She told me, 'In the lake.'

8. She got a mud pack, and looked great for two days.
Then the mud fell off.

9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, 'Am I too late
for the garbage?' The driver said, 'No, jump in!'

10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.

11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her
first name was Always.

12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months
I don't like to interrupt her.

13. The last fight was my fault though.
My wife asked, 'What's on the TV?'
I said, 'Dust!'

Can't you just hear him say all of these?
I love it........these were the good old days
when humor didn't have to start with a four letter word. It was just clean and simple fun.
And he always ended his programs with the words, 'God Bless.

1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, ha... (show quote)


Now that it has been mentioned, I don't think this was Red. Just not his style. I watched Clem Kaddidle Hopper (spelled wrong, I'm sure) and Freddy the Freeloader every chance I got as a kid. As for Red: God Bless.

15.

Wife texted me this morning while I'm on the way to work. "Windows are frozen. Won't open."
I texted - "Gently pour some water on it, then tap lightly with a hammer."
Wife returns text in ten minutes - "Computer is really messed up now."
