Henny Youngman's 10,000 One -Liners: An Encyclopedia of One-Liners

I found this book of one liner's fantastic. I had a dull personality and was very shy until I started reading HENNY YOUNGMAN'S 10,000 One - Liners. Now who ever I meet, I say a couple of jokes and people feel more comfortable around me and I feel a lot more comfortable around people. For the first time in my life, I have much more confidence in myself than I ever had. I was always quite at parties, and stayed in the background. Now I really make people laugh and what a wonderful gift it is to make people laugh. This book has a table of contents for every occasion. Even one joke makes the whole difference in the my personality. Friends of mine who have not seen me in a few years, can't believe it..This book has photos of Henny Youngman and many comedians and actors.

I like that the one-liners are short and memorable. Just what we need in these tough times, from a man who was ahead of his time in the world of comedy. One of the all-time greats.

i love Henny Youngman Jokes and Please keep finding me more to read of his brand of one liners. the jokes are good and fast and on all subjects. i find that i really like the old radio & vaudevillians, comedians. that brand of humor whether Benny Hope Skelton Burns Youngman Fields Durante are all good clean fun, oh and how could i forget Groucho. i don't seem to like the lame Saturday Night crowd of no talent idiots...they just have to be obscene and young to be on tv now, not good and funny like a Carson. just a great book ... Please.

Lots of his original lines and some I've seen elsewhere. But a good book, glad to have it.

the jokes bring back memories of Henny on Ed Sullivan.

Enjoyable

Lots of therse one liners are not Henny Youngman type material. Several are repeated in different sections or, sometime, with just a few words changed, in the same section. It probably is 10,000 one liners which explains why the quality level is so low. It would be good for speakers who need humprous lines on a certain subject to liven up a talk.

9000 not that funny
