We need more clips from "The Great American Dream Machine." It was good and funny, and it has vanished into the aether.
-
@joshscobey It originally aired on a PBS show called "The Great American Dream Machine" without the "enhancements." This brief excerpt came from a talk show pilot with comedians talking about comedy. Hosted by Milton Berle, it had this clip with the "sweeteners."

@mondofzz LOL! It would lose something in the translation, hah! I know what a spit take is, and a double take--even a triple take (just add a take!)--but the elbow take I'm trying to figure out...going through the obvious scenarios in my noggin'...none seem funny, so I know I"m missing something...
-
@joshscobey Aah, okay, that makes complete sense (except the part about adding the laugh track to Digital Shorts...I'm mean, do people really need to be cued as to when it is appropriate to laugh? If so, they'd be adding a laugh track to all of SNL's stuff. Sheesh!!). Thanks for the info! Peace!

@karmadhyana No, this is not an SNL Short. This was aired on PBS, then was used for a Milton Berle special a couple years later. It was the people from the Berle special who didn't get the joke and added the laugh track. When Albert made his short films for SNL, you can't hear the audience laughing unlike today when SNL airs 'Digitsl Shorts'.
-
@joshscobey Wasn't this aired on SNL as a short? I know that he did a lot of SNL shorts...maybe that could explain the laugh track (i.e. audience)? Just wondering.
-
When will I ever get to see the whole thing!?
-
Notice how the floor is already soaked in the spit-take room.
-
I had to describe what a spit take was to someone on the phone. You really need a visual.

I feel so bad for Albert that they decided to add a laugh track and silly music. Whoever made those decisions really doesn't get the joke.

Albert is one of the greats of American comedy. Writer, director, performer, an all-around talent who has had far too little recognition. A genius.
