Lynde once said that, while he would rather be recognized as a serious actor, "we live in a world that needs laughter, and I've decided if I can make people laugh, I'm making an important contribution."
I met him as a small girl, my father met him when Paul rode the Conch Tour Train in Key West, Florida. Paul and my dad became friends and every time Paul would come to town, he’d invite us four kids to go to the mini golf with him. He was truly our uncle Paul, God rest his soul!! Loved him, miss him dearly! 😢
That’s nice. He was an important part of my childhood. When we as kids had summer vacation we used to watch him on this show. It’s so cute the way he covers his face with his hands and he is very witty.
Another Lynde retort I recall: "Paul, women take the rabbit test to see if they are pregnant. What do they take the mouse test for?". Lynde, "To see if they are related to Annette Funicello!" LOL!
I grew up watching these shows with my grandmother during summer vacation back in the day. Paul Lynde was the funniest person ever on Hollywood Squares. No one was quicker with a one liner comeback.
One of my all-time favourite Paul Lynde repostes includes the time he was asked, "Paul, who lost the Battle of the Bulge?". Lynde, "Well, obviously Elizabeth Taylor!". Priceless.
It was scripted, but I don’t care. Watch interviews with Joan Rivers. She outs a few squares but says it’s fine, they were still funny. SHE wasn’t scripted. A lot of respect for that lady, but scripted or not PL was hilarious.
What was classic and iconic about Mr Lynde was how he had a hilarious snappy answer to the question, perfectly timed for maximum laughs, but then would retreat into pensive thought to get the answer correct for the contestant. He was more often than not correct, but missed enough times that you could never say with certainty he knew the questions ahead of time. He was a comic genius. If you ever watch the old Match games, Richard Dawson would frequently give a very good impression of Lynde. Often imitated, but never duplicated.
This is Absolute Gold.... Paul Lynde was Very Intelligent.. And Extremely Witty and Just Downright Hilarious.. I Haven't Laughed That Hard for Almost 2 Hours in I Can't Remember When.. And Man Does He Nail Alice Ghostley's Manerism's.. Rest in Power to The One and Only Paul Lynde 💖💖
Yes but the censors would have been all over him. The times back then they weren’t allowed to go too far. Things have changed a lot between then and now.
@@carolynmann8753 The times are so different from when I grew up, 60's & 70's. I was at the Summerfest show when George Carlin got arrested for saying the 7 words you can't say on TV and radio! He should have added, or on stage in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Language is the one of the biggest changes, don't you think?
@@kathleensorce8468 I live in the buckle of the Bible Belt. And was very surprised when they let,, think, was Bono slip the word “f**k” during some award show. I too grew up in same age you did. It’s funny what will be heard & seen as entertainment today today, that would not have happened back when we were growing up.
These early episodes, before Paul Lynde was installed permanently in the center square, were amazing! I remember watching these in real time 45 years ago. His jokes were unforgettable.
I agree Cheryl. -- and looked forward to Paul Lynde the most. Did you know that he decorated his home beautifully and would not let anymore in his home for fear that they would taint something. I bet he had off white carpeting. 😂
When I played Templeton the Rat in my fourth grade production of "Charlotte's Web" you can SURE AS 💩 bet I based my performance on Lynde's voice acting from the 1979 animated version of E.B. White's novel. I ❤ this man.
Loved Paul as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched. I swear he must have written most of his lines himself because they just fit his wit and personality so we'll.
I'm glad that they discovered the 1968 prime time shows! May they be preserved forever.I also love the four square shot,it kinda gave the show a cool effect.
It took the wind out of his sails for a few rounds when Connie Stevens failed to remember that he was in Bye, Bye Birdie. He answered the next few questions seriously, without trying to be funny. He bounced back with a vengeance, though. Knowing now about his insecurities and fears of being forgotten and a nobody, it must have crushed his soul a little for his biggest movie role to be forgotten by one of his co-stars on the same panel. He was a true trailblazer. If only he knew how influential he truly was.
I watched with my mom in the 70's, we loved this program. I must confess, Paul Lynde also shows an incredible amount of class and restraint by not blurting out any tasteless or vulgar comments that are so easily within reach of the question.
This is that moment where I say I miss Paul. Paul was a staple in my youth and have to reason I have my current giggle and comedy response. Paul and used to be my mentor. I'm miss him dearly.
He was the Greatest ever and never given his Enough Credit for his brilliance, he’s so witty and funny and makes me laugh watching him a million time. Love and Respect to you Always!
@@BAKER22-l4u That makes almost no sense as Lynde was rather similiar to Robin Williams. The parade of bitchy remarks means you're drunk and you're angry [like Lynde]. Please leave the thread.
I'm so glad I grew up in those times. This world today is so disturbingly fucked up. Despite what todays TV, movies, and the media portray, those times were AMAZING beyond description!!!
I saw the 2 hour length and laughed... and laughed... and laughed! I can't believe I listened to the whole thing. Strange but remarkable body of work. Kudos to Mr. Lynd for taking us back!
Many famous comedians had to be booted from the game because they repeatedly went into a long joke every time their name was called out. Paul Lynde was one of a kind.
@@DougsterCanada1 😉 And, kind'a ironically, the Shakespeare character (in "Hamlet") was anything BUT brief (poor ol' Polonius 😊) when he said that!! 😅
Who cares if Paul Lynde received his answers beforehand? It's the way he DELIVERED the lines that made them so funny---he sure made Buddy Hackett roar in some of these clips!
he would have been much better if actually had good writers...it was ALL delivery and he was the best......the show would not survive today.......come on most of the jokes are BAD from all of them.....
I used to love watching Hollywood Squares with my grandmother and he was my favorite panelist, always in the center square when I watched. I thought he was hilarious when I was 8 years old and didn't understand much of anything lol. I think he's even funnier now that I am an adult. RIP....gone too soon.
And not like today’s shows, certainly here in Australia, where the questions are given to the stars we’ll in advance for them to think about their answers
I made the awful yet at the same time great decision to watch this at work with earbuds....I swear I about died! Heck Michael Landon's laugh made me cry I was laughing so hard!
I must've laughed for 10 min straight when he said Lawerence Welk's worst trait was that he enjoys sitting on his bubble machine. Too much at 3 in the morning.
That snarky and often self-deprecating delivery -- so often accompanied by thinly veiled references to his homosexuality -- was Lynde's trademark and just one of the things that set him apart from other TV comics of his day. Even the jokes that would normally fall flat usually still worked because of his quick wit and impeccable timing. That voice of his was -- and remains to this day -- instantly recognizable. Often imitated, never duplicated.

I like how people start laughing before Paul could come up with a joke. They can tell what he's going to say. He was the best of the best. Will be missed.

Me too.
He died a full decade before I was born and here I am!!! His legacy lives on ❤
Education for adults ! 😂😂
So upsetting when one of my favorite comedians dies.

Paul Lynde was priceless most of the time. Hollywood Squares would not have achieved its popularity without him.
Agreed
They got all the popularity because of Paul & some of it by Rose Marie
Another Lynde retort I recall: "Paul, women take the rabbit test to see if they are pregnant. What do they take the mouse test for?". Lynde, "To see if they are related to Annette Funicello!" LOL!
Buddy Hackett's laughter was so contagious, & he & Paul were great entertainment !!! 😂😂😂
Buddy's laugh seemed self-serving more than anything. :\
I dunno. It was kind of distracting in my opinion.
Buddy is a Hack
"And that's including the puck!"
Couldn't stand him. Loved Paul Lynde though.
I'm sorry that he suffered so much. A shining light. Wish he had found happiness.
I love how Paul Lynde just cracks himself up. He was having so much fun in that middle square...!
Pre-Scripted. Even he was enjoying the zingers.
He got loaded questions to help deliver zingers.
K PM
YES HE WAS!
I loved Paul Lynde, he was the only reason I watched this show!!

Yeah we all thought he was so clever. I had no idea it was all staged and prepared jokes. I thought it was spontaneous, we all did.

Paul's best was when Peter asked him "Is it OK to use a vacuum on your dog?" Paul replied "It's better to walk him."

I like how people start laughing before Paul could come up with a joke. They can tell what he's going to say. He was the best of the best. Will be missed.
What? NOBODY laughed ahead of time and NOBODY knew what he would say.
Baker did you ever even watch the show? Doesn’t sound like it from your remark.
Man I remember Paul Lynne always in the centre and being the number 1 comic in my mind on the Hollywood squares.rip and thanks for the laughs.
Paul was such a HUGE talent. I miss his humor and personality.
His comedic timing and deliverywere always right on par. It can't even be matched by Bob Newhart, Greorge Carlin or Johnathon Winters .
George Carlin was a foul mouth
He was ahead of his time, his style of delivery, the innuendos & the tone of his jokes.
He was also as gay as a three dollar bill!
