[teslaphysics]

OMG!!!!!!!! Thanks for postin this vid!!! I haven't seen this since I was like 12 or 13!!!!!!

[heatherama]

I saw this when I was a kid and thought it was one of the funniest things I ever saw.

[tommyers]

For some reason, those two Christians (one of them holding a Bible, shown before Masked Man and Tonto mount their horses) remind me of the Westboro Baptist Church.

[dpoland]

Mask Man is a beautiful person.

[Letalone]

The masked fag man, ain't that a kick in the ass!

[19tc85]

bet you got mascary under that damn mask ain't you, lol!

[visionelove]

Brilliant!

[mkpoe73]

Funniest skit ever... I haven't seen this in years and I never even knew it was Lenny Bruce. I always remembered it as "Masked Man's a fag..."

[PreachNowMedia]

ROTFLMAO!!!! I am in tears... I can watch this trailer over and over again... I remember the first time I saw this in 1983... I was over my cousin's house for a sleep over and we were up late watching HBO... back then they would show these movie shorts to fill time for the next movie... it was about 2am and "Thank you Mask Man" came on... we woke up the whole house... my aunt was pisssed... we laughed so freakin hard... this one 7 min clip had us hurting the whole morning... so glad I found it.

[raystaar]

I first saw Thank You Mask Man when it premiered at the 1970(?) San Francisco Film Festival. Years later, I met the film's producer, John Magnassen, who very kindly gave me a copy of it on video tape. I lost the tape, but I've never forgotten John, Lenny or the Mask Man & 'Tanta.' Thanks for putting it online.

[scooby384]

Classic

[Mandrakegray]

Thanks so much for posting this!! I was a huge fan of Night Flight in the early 80's. Easily the most subversive televison programming I came across in middle America back in the day. I always loved it when they'd play this clip and Firesign Theater's cult classic "J-Men Forever"

[SoftMyst]

One of my all time favorites!!

Classic Lenny Bruce. I read his autobiography years ago, if you haven't read it, you should. :)

[Veggieman87]

Hilarious, but sadly I can't understand the audio too clearly.

[eagleg88388]

Pure BRILLIANT

[cozmicshroomzpro1]

damn ignorant people, lenny bruce is a genius

[beefygoblin]

? What do you mean what the fuck is this? This is Lenny Bruce.

Whenever you hear your parents or if you are young enough grandparents compare a comedian to Lenny Bruce (ie, "well he's no Lenny Bruce")...well know you know what they mean.

[viperany]

.....

[ProgenyFilms]

Wait a minute, you a***hole, wait a minute!! I'm tired of his horsesh**t now.

[blragh]

I'm glad my fourth killed mspookies comment. this is one of my favorite bits ever.

[ronthereddragon]

what cartoon is this?

[TheOtherChanel]

I'm in love.

Bleh.

[mspookie]

Wow! Lennie was never funny.

Who laughs at this?

Lawrence Welk fans?

[F4B8J5L0]

@mspookie WOW! First off, Lenny Bruce did a VERY FUNNY bit here, period. Second, everyone else who watched this vid Laughed at it (and EVERYone else I have EVER shown this to). Thirdly, what in all creation does LAWRENCE WELK have to do with Lenny Bruce? OMG, please get a life, laugh a little, and wake up to TODAY'S world mspookie- everyone else has far-and-away already passed you by! Haha haha THE MASKED FAG MAN... AIN'T THAT A KICK IN THE ASS! haha haha haha haha Cheers to all who enjoyed!

[Mommabits]

I love this, I'm so glad I found this, we lost our old VHS tape of it! :)

[runly1]

i have an old video of this. so excited to see it online! thanks for posting.

[IFGStv]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this!

[VousEnculez]

BLEH! The Masked Man's a FAG ! BLEH!

[scruffmicgruff]

what the hell you want the horse for

the act

bleeh

[MyotisLucifugus]

This is the best quality version on youtube right now. THANK YOU! The best thing about Bruce's recorded performances was that he always changed it up. Like he always said "I'm not a mechanical comic."

Each time he performed a satire, it was always different. This example is no different.

[BigGibbo1986]

Thank you Lenny Bruce & thank you Masked Man. <3

[uncletinkle]

WHOO DOGGIES!! That's a flashback to end em all! I remember seeing this when pay TV was just starting. I was * and I'm still going "laaah!" sometimes! (like that hick in the film)

[golfandski1]

This video is such a blast!

Used to see it almost every afternoon in the late 70's in Vail, CO at a place called "The Slope". It was a great apres-ski hangout showing mostly ski flicks, but every hour or two there would be a chant to see TYMM.

Now no need to wait, available on tap right here and every bit as satisfying as cold draft beer!

[wokmonster]

OH I miss the Days of Night Flight on USA!!!

[badprangel]

A great parable on celebrity and corruption.

funny too.

[wyldchyld76]

"The Masked Man's a fag, AGHHH!" xD

Man, I haven't seen this clip in so long! I was about 7 when I first saw this, and it still cracks me up to this day! I just HAD to check and see if it was here on You Tube! Glad I found it... it's a classic!

Thank you Lenny Bruce! :D

[Ubikquitus]

I saw this at a ski slope bar in Aspen Co in 1976. We went there a couple of times a week to see it. It had the place rolling.

Lenny Bruce was WAY ahead of his time, lol.

[jbd75274]

A classic!

[pkmb70]

This brings back great memories! Haven't seen this in ages! Thanks!

[mmmkay1970]

Crest Theater-Sacramento,CA "Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation" Late 80's! What the Hell you want Tonto for?!

[pang5]

Weren't those festivals fantastic? I've been trying to find lots of the insane animated clips I saw there on You Tube. Cross your fingers. I'm delighted to have found this and that thankyoumaskedman was kind enough to upload it. Thank you, thankyoumaskedman!

[MariaLBD]

I first saw this on TV in the late 80s or early 90s. A friend got the last few minutes of it on tape and we used to watch it over and over and over again. Too funny!

[jcsuperstar714]

Wow! Had forgotten all about this over the many years. Neat to see it on youtube.

[timkelly]

I first saw this on an old VHS called Cartoon Scandals. Hilarious forever!

[Micknugget99]

This used to be shown on Super TV in the late '70s and early '80's in the Maryland/DC area. Great comedy making fun of the Masked Man.

[m3rryt]

brings back great memories of watching this in college -- it's hysterically funny (video quality's pretty good too)!

[AlexaHexa]

One of the funniest videos ever
