red was so loved...i mean people loved him...u could always see how sincere he was...a delighful clown. i know u r having a blast keeping him and his humor alive. u r living in the right place to cary on this master.
I never realized just how good you are (or he is). Awesome interpretation of Mr. Skelton, excellent! ELOHIM bless you always. Keep making us laugh with the simple things of life. Thank you. <(^8
Really nice performance. I loved Red Skelton and his funny, funny jokes that the whole family could listen to and enjoy. Keep up the good work. flufrules
This was a great joke that I had comletely forgot!!!!! Glad you did it again Red..aka Brian Hoffman, I really needed a real laugh this morning......lol
Guess an explanation is in order. Back in the last century... 'Necking' was a term used for the preliminaries to today's 'Hooking up'. In typical Red Skelton manner, he used the child's term for 'She' as 'Her'. 'Dirty' as in Patrick Swayze's movie 'Dirty Dancing', furthered the suggestion. The little joke had great subtle meaning during the 'innocent' century. We all thought 'subtle' beat 'flagrant' by a long shot. Even most porn was more innocent back then.
Remember Red Skelton's Mommy telling him to stay away from the little girl next door and not to play with her because "Her neck's Dirty". He replied while looking very surprised,... "Her do?" 'DaFlikkers'
I heard you were going out for a swallow...LOL!!!! Great job. My need more comedians like Red Skelton, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, George Burns...not these alleged comics who use profanity in the name of being "edgy."
Red Skelton was one of my favorites - don't need to be blue to be funny. Much prefer clean humor over the raunch being passed off as entertaining. God bless, 5/5 stars.
I found this joke on a DVD of Red's show aired in 1959.
I think is very very funny.
But then again I tend to laugh at my own jokes anyway!
I wish you continued success in all you do.
Goodnight now and may God bless

Great doppelganger of one of my favorite comedians. Can you (or will you) do "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" from the movie "Lovely To Look At"? Hilarious falling- off- the- piano parody. Love to have you visit my channel for a rating/comment on my male version of Connie Francis' "Where The Boys Are"...titled "Where The Beers Are". Typifies what may happen with a coerced ad hoc performance. God Bless and Good Night, Brian! Cordially, John
I'm a huge Red Skelton fan and I appreciate your impersonation skills of him. However, remember Red was a man of good taste in his humor. I never heard him use the "going out for a swallow" punchline. If he did, I'm sure it was a risky move for his time. You did capture him quite well though. Good job!
I know a Swallow is a type of bird, but the inuendo of a cheating bird going for a Swallow states a little than innocent humor. Even the crowd knew that was dirty for Red Skelton. Where can I find audion clip? I'm curious if it was actually aired over the radio.

Love this, it is like Red was here in person. This man, Brian Hoffman has more talent in his little finger that most of you have in your entire being.
This is a man who loves and is clean comedy.
These are family performances that the entire family can enjoy and love. Memories are made from special people like this. Create
your own memories with Brian. You will never regret it. A special man created for a very special purpose to let us love laughter and God.

I found this joke that Red did live on air in 1959.
A "swallow" is a species of bird. What did you think it means?;)
RedSkelton4u 2 years ago
I know a Swallow is a type of bird, but the inuendo of a cheating bird going for a Swallow states a little than innocent humor. Even the crowd knew that was dirty for Red Skelton. Where can I find audion clip? I'm curious if it was actually aired over the radio.
