    Some silliness is mere a simple joke of a character, turned to be a Comedy of all time. Chaplin did that!

        He’d have to talk and that might be something he had to get used to. πŸ˜€

        Yes.

        Although he was good in The Great Dictator. Had a very nice speaking voice in fact.

        A brilliant satire on Hitler and Mussolini.

        They need to replay that for every generation often enough.

        Yes, they do.

        The first time I saw it was in a repertory film theatre in Edmonton at Halloween back when I was a kid.

        I went with my dad.

        I wonder if YouTube has it? They have everything. πŸ˜€

        I imagine You Tube has it.

        I’ll check later. After I finish searching for Sherrielock’s adventures in London. πŸ˜€

        I think that particular video crashed due to the excessive number of hits on it. πŸ˜‰

        LOL! No doubt πŸ˜€ It won’t be long before the pornographers and scammers are on to the massive search engine hits and insert themselves at the top of the list.

        Yes, I hear the Bill Clinton Foundation has already inserted itself at the top of the list- speaking of pornographers and scammers. πŸ˜€

        They are the poster children for evil endeavors. They donated money to their charity that in turn gave them large sums of money for their support of the charity, all tax free of course.

        They just keep haunting us with their evil doing. I’m sure a pact with the Great Horned One has given them protection.

      • Dracul Van Helsing said,

        October 11, 2016 at 4:00 pm

        Yes, occult historians will note that the Great Horny One did indeed make a pact with the Great Horned One! πŸ˜€

        Which inevitably led to the spooged blue dress caper.

      • Dracul Van Helsing said,

        October 11, 2016 at 4:26 pm

        Which wouldn’t have happened had he been wearing the Great Horned One’s condom protection. πŸ˜€
