Same, my dad played this for me when I was a kid in the 70s but I didn’t get it as much. Listened to it again in my 30s and realized how genius it was. Still have the album ❤
In esteemed memory.....the first comedy album to win a Grammy for Album of the Year.....and the album that single-handedly saved Warner Brothers Records, paving the way for Peter Paul & Mary, and Alan Sherman.....
Bob Newhart is the first comedian I ever remember as a kid, listened to his bits on a long distance flight over and over from Frankfurt to Chicago back in the late 80s when my mom and I had to go back and forth 3 or 4 times in one year. He seemed like the dad we all deserved, the even keeled and fair minded 50s gentleman with a loving and sympathetic heart. He will be missed
OMG ME TOO NEWHART WAS still on the air when i grew up in the 80's and 90's and I fell in love with his deadpan delivery. My friends had old record players so i got to hear a couple of his records. They were all into bullshit like Im An Asshole like Denis Leary but I'd take Newhart on a phone call any day of the week!
I have had a lifetime of loving him. From his first sitcom that I binged in the early 90's (thank you Nick at Night), and then getting into his early comedy. He has given me so many years of comfort. He made me more comfortable with my own mental illness and attending therapy. And he has made me laugh so many times. As I sit here and listen to this genius I am sad that he is no longer here on earth but so grateful that he was here for the time he was.
Fortunately comedy geniuses like Bob Newhart came in the age of recorded material. So much of him from the 60s onward is available on dvd, CD, vinyl and tape. From the Dean Martin Show to his own shows to the Tonight shows with Johnny Carson and thousands of other shows he was a guest on thru to the 2000s Bob will always be at the ready to entertain us forever.
My parents had this LP. I recall listening to it early 60s. As a 9 year old kid, it made me laugh and I remember details of listening to the record even now. Bob was brilliant as a stand up.
What a comedic GENIUS!!!!!!! My parents bought it when it came out in 1960, and I remember listening to that very first Newhart album as an 8 year old; and laughing along with mom & dad... the 60's were the golden age of recorded comedy, and Bob Newhart started it....
When I was young my pastor described Heaven as having our loved ones and favorite pastimes. I hope he is able to play cards with friends waiting for him.❤😢
I bought this album second hand in the early 80's when I was like 13. That and Pat Paulson 's For President. Hilarious stuff . I was an odd duck as a kid.
What's interesting is how much he trusts the audience to be able to pick up what he's putting down. It's only funny if you can infer the other half of the conversation, or imagine the scene that he hints at but doesn't literally describe.
Nobody really mentioned #BobNewhart's death. Sad. He was one of the main guys who taught me to create beyond the gag and the one-liner. He also taught me how to get out of any awkward or stressful moment in life. Make 'em laugh. Til they cry.
It's a great story, but I can't find anything to be able to support that. I find it hard to believe he would headline a club in Houston and record an album with Warner Brothers on his second attempt at comedy.
The millions of Americans who purchased this album, making it the number one album from any genre in 1960. They found it funny because it's hilarious and subtle. It requires knowledge of history and the culture of the mid-20th Century. Maybe it's just not for you.

There will never be another comedian like Bob Newhart.
Ellen Degeneres certainly tried to be.
@@JymDyer Very inappropriate now to make comparisons. The man just died.
Yeh sort of, ur right..@JymDyer
@@JymDyer she is nowhere on his level. Not even close.
I haven't listened to this in 40 years and it is still sidesplitting. Truly classic.
My folks had this album when I grew up as a kid.
R.I.P. Bob Newhart and condolences from Melbourne,Australia.
Same, my dad played this for me when I was a kid in the 70s but I didn’t get it as much. Listened to it again in my 30s and realized how genius it was. Still have the album ❤
Mine too! I still laugh just as hard.
I as well, I "took" them and have them today.
The best tribute he could ever have is people hearing about his sad passing, giving this a try and realising what a master he was.
He was a comic genius that reminded everyone of someone they knew and loved. An everyman. RIP ❤
I took This album to school as a kid...though was historical...haha...my teacher said no
In esteemed memory.....the first comedy album to win a Grammy for Album of the Year.....and the album that single-handedly saved Warner Brothers Records, paving the way for Peter Paul & Mary, and Alan Sherman.....
RIP Mr. Newhart. You taught us about ourselves, with a clean, humorist, twist.

He was by far my favorite comedian. I always liked deadpan humor due to him

Newhart is still one of the best comedians of all time. Perfect delivery. Kept it clean. His TV shows were also greatness.
Absolutely!
RIP to a Legend.

I bought this album in 1960. RIP Bob with your dear Ginny.
Very funny, very creative album. Newhart’s genius shines through.
We loved Bob. He was a very rare individual.
Thank you, Warner Bros. for re-issuing many of his albums on CD, particularly the first two.

I'm a fan. This is the first time listening to this...❤😊
Thank you, Bob!! You made deadpan humor GREAT!!
One of the greatest comedy albums ever! RIP Bob.

I used to love The Bob Newhart Show when I was little.
FBA/B1
Fascinating......tell us more.
@@lewisc215 What a putz...
One of the greatest comedy albums ever.
My dad used to listen to this record all the time❤
No pain, no suffering, thank god.
Imagine. Clean well delivered comedy without profanity.
Love to hear that he and Don Rickles were odd couple friends.
RIP - Bob.
Now I want to see the documentary about their friendship.
😢 Rest In Peace
Goodnight, Bob.
We'll miss him
RIP, Bob. 😢
The King of Deadpan!

RIP George Robert Newhart 1929-2024
Goodbye Bob. 😔
Genius!
Most definitely!
The USS Codfish one makes me laugh out loud
My buddy ❤
❤❤❤ he was a great gift to the world!
RIP Mr. Newhart
Thanks for the laughs Bob...thanks for the laughs...
RIP Bob Newhart. Your dead-pan style and the timing of your delivery was unsurpassed.
RIP Bob.
❤
Bye Bob
The best. RIP
R.I.P. You burned very, very bright and long.
Don Rickles: Bob, what took you so long to be with me again? Geezzz
Ha!
Nobody really mentioned #BobNewhart's death. Sad. He was one of the main guys who taught me to create beyond the gag and the one-liner. He also taught me how to get out of any awkward or stressful moment in life. Make 'em laugh. Til they cry.
He made it look so easy but if it was easy then everybody would be doing it.
RIP Bob!
Jimmy Carr just told me this was Bob's first time doing stand up ever.
It's a great story, but I can't find anything to be able to support that. I find it hard to believe he would headline a club in Houston and record an album with Warner Brothers on his second attempt at comedy.
That's why I'm here too. What a shame it's not at all funny.
@@ChaseMyska- Read the obit in The New York Times.
@@GH-oi2jf The legend lives one whether it's true or not. And that's all that matters :)
Given the state of education today, I'm not sure a lot of young people would get the Lincoln jokes.
RIP
Everyone's here because Bob Newhart died
You’re awesome too, Mr. Lynde!
@@cocoacat5224 aww thank you so much!
The CBS tribute Monday night was good.
@@yvonnecooper5004 yes!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣💝
"no real difference between the candidates".
😂
@@madfoxcityemnau6414 yeah, and that was 1960.
this must be mono, not fake stereo....i think your turntable is slow
No, it's in stereo.
This is funny, but the audiences laughter is way too loud compared to Bob's voice.
That's how it was recorded.
How can anyone think this garbage is funny?
The millions of Americans who purchased this album, making it the number one album from any genre in 1960.
They found it funny because it's hilarious and subtle. It requires knowledge of history and the culture of the mid-20th Century.
Maybe it's just not for you.
We don't all have to like the same things. Find the comic of your choice.
@@GH-oi2jf I liked him as a person and I enjoyed the Bob Newhart show.
Found the executive officer.
Such a magnificent troll. All of your many, many girlfriends must be veeeeeery impressed
Bob Newhart has died. 7-18-2024
That’s why we’re here
He was truly brilliant
I'm here because if that. Such a sad day. Bless him for his amazing career!
Yeah. Super sad
In memory of Bob. He’ll be missed.
He won grammy for this?
In that category, surely.
YES!
Bring a Springfield Illinois resident I like the Lincoln skit!!!
In 1960 this record was #1, outselling Elvis and The Sound of Music. A lot more people were heavy drinkers then.
YES! Brilliant! Hilarious! Intelligent! Great timing! He won 3 Grammys for this one album!
