My Favorite Psychotronic Iconoclastic Comedy Team from the pre-Code Era


While definitely tied with The Brothers Marx as my pre-Code faves, the comedy team of Bobby Clark and Paul McCullough really makes me laugh, for reasons - to paraphrase Pete Townshend and The Who - I can't explain. You will either be in utter hysterics or register blank, uncomprehending stares at their stark raving mad antics.


Most recently, the team's RKO two-reelers have been posted both on youtube and The Third Banana blog, a veritable treasure trove regarding the looniest of movie and radio comedians.


So, without further adieu, Clark & McCullough in In A Pig's Eye (1934).

There are very ably supported by two-reeler mainstays Bud Jamison and Monte Collins - but most importantly, the star of this show, Ajax The Pig.
