This is why game shows of 70s were awesome. The subtle lewdness of the questions and the stars themselves made them a riot to watch even years after they aired. Nothing like what we see today
I loved Paul Lynde! Anytime he was on Bewitched, it made the show thst much better. Remember watching him on Hollywood Squares with my grandmother and laughing our heads off at him He was a classic! Never be another like him!
Love this guy! He in my opinion was and is the king of the one liners! Paul Lynde could say 3-5 words and have you on the floor laughing hard! R.I.P. Paul.
: Buddy Hackett tried and tried, even to the point of purposefully annoying and trying to steamroll to get Lynde's laughs, but the poor little guy couldn't catch on. Word was that Hackett started getting into hot water with Marshall and the producers over it, even the audience sometimes.
I was bored on a slow Sunday afternoon and decided to watch old shows just for the fun of it. I'm so glad I did. Lynde was one in a million. Thanks to the uploader for reminding me just how funny he was. :)
Yes, it was funny -- but since I am a woman (who by the way had a VERY "women should remember 'their place'" father!) this joke does grate on my nerves a bit!! ;)
Omg I forgot how funny Paul Lynde was! I used to watch Hollywood Squares just bc I knew he would be on it w/funny answers but he was an intelligent guy. God rest his soul. Ty for bringing back good memories & lots of laughs. Ty UA-cam & ty for uploading. Peace out
Always liked Mr Lynde, unique & astute, anticipating his retort might begin describing his exceptional ability. Caught my attention & deserved the center square.
@@kathyyoung1774 It wasn't all scripted. Bruce Vilanch wrote for HS for years and he said Lynde would often ad lib even better than what was written. Lynde was a very quick wit.
My mom laughed so hard at Paul Lyndes one liners, but all of the jokes went over my head. I loved the joy she got from watching the show on Friday nights and I bless him for bringing laughter to so many.
Loved Paul Lynde !! Loved his humor and he lifted my humor up quite a bit !! He helped raise my spirts up and made me laugh during my depression and bullying in high School in the 70s !!
When a man falls out of a boat and into the water you should yell "Man overboard!" Now what should you if a woman falls overboard? He says: "Full speed a head!" I was laughing so hard at that 😂
Well just like every Chanel is out for RATTING. Why I'm sure they had him in the middle scare. You have more of a chances to win. Even though there question may have been scripted I believe it was up to the actors to come up with the answers. And Paul Lynde was a wittie guy. R.I.P. Paul Lynde !
Yes he had lines written for him but he also ad lib many of his lines too. Ad lib takes natural humor talent. It is not something you train to be. You have to be born a natural humorous person and comedian too. Paul Lynde was a born natural humorous person. That is the natural charisma gift he had.
At the end of the last clip, the horn that was used on that episode rather than the "tacky buzzer" was later used on the 80s version of the show. Paul Lynde was always so hilarious!
I have seen this more than 10 times! It is just hilarious! I used to watch this show and laugh at what I thought I knew. But Paul Lynde was ahead of his time hilarious! Thank you for uploading!
@@Jzeaser a lot of people say that, but I think it’s a misunderstanding. The responses weren’t “scripted”, at least not in the way we would usually think of scripting. According to the show’s producers, celebrities had the option of arriving early for the tapings. If they did, they could have a look at the questions they might be asked, so they could have a gag answer ready.
I vaguely remember Paul Lynde from the TV in 70's UK. I didnt realise how funny he is. Very like another "camp" UK actor Kenneth Williams with the rapid wit. Love it!
This dude was so damn funny,I'm glad that I was old enough to remember that show with him on it. His was and still is one of the great one....Won't see anyone like this today with any of his skills.
Lynde was the *king* of the one-liners! There has never been anyone like him with his slightly-acidic zingers! Rest in peace, Paul - you are hugely missed.
He was of the funniest guys that ever lived...I remember this show a little bit from when I was very little. He had such great delivery that even as a kid I laughed my ass off...
talented man who knew how to land a joke....always made me chuckle n they always seem to be having such a good time while doing this show....n u gotta love a comedian who cracks up over his own jokes...
I saw this video today for the first time. I've watched videos of Groucho Marx, Don Rickles, and other great comedians and NONE of them ever made me laugh so hard as Paul Lynde. His one liners on this game show are simply unbeatable. There's funny and then there's hysterical and Paul Lynde is absolutely hysterical. He is, as far as I'm concerned, the all time true king of comedy.
When i need a good laugh I would love to have Paul Lynde be there for me! I haven't had anything to make me laugh till I read these Paul Lynde. My son Joey used to laugh at me laughing!
Buddy Hackett, was a great comic, and he tried to steal Paul's thunder on the Juliet Child question. Paul Lynde, gets irritated, but then, has a far better answer than Buddy. LOL.
Even if the lines were scripted--obviously some were and some weren't--it's his delivery that makes them so wonderfully funny. On the Johnny Carson show, Paul Lynde said "timing is everything," and he's got a great sense of it. So quit insulting each other and enjoy the laughs!
He is still the best comedian today. Loved him on Hollywood Squares. This video made me laugh out loud which is something I haven't done in a long time. Thanks for the smiles!!
He used to get away with a lot back then, but he was really funny. I remember his quick retort about the Seven Sins being the Bill of Rights, my father laughed until he had tears rolling down his face.
One of my most-favorite come-backs of his was when Peter Marshall asked, "In what State was Abraham Lincoln born?" Paul Lynde: "In what state?" Peter: "Yes." Paul: "Like all of us -- naked and screaming!" Everybody burst out laughing so hard and so long!! 😅😅😅 (Actually, I think one of the main things I liked about it so much was that he wasn't putting anybody's feelings down with this -- 'most EVERYBODY was included! 😄😊)
Wonderful tape of this amazing talented man that was the #1 comedian as far as I am concerned. He was very cute and smart and cried when he died in 1982. The comedians today are nothing like he was and what he had to give. He worked very hard and deserved the fame he got because of all his hard work and dedication. I miss him greatly.
Paul Lynde is like what Richard Dawson was to "Match Game." Both were extremely witty and everyone went to pick them. Also, Dawson must have thought very highly of Lynde because he imitated him a lot.
+Willie Nelson Yes, Dawson did WC Fields impressions on Match Game and Family Feud. I think he did it on Laugh-In also. They were both funny as hell! RIP to both of them.
One of the greatest voice actors. His voice carried a perfect tone for villainy and were he alive today, would have been a hot property for all the producers of computer animation movies.
Peter: "Paul, what do you think of when you hear the letters I.C.B.M. ? Paul: (Pause} "Bad doggy!" Laughed so hard I cried. Still one of the funniest things I have ever seen on TV!
Paul Lynde is/was one of the FUNNIEST, BRAVEST, BRAZEN, QUICK WITTED guys ever!! Just love him.
I hardly ever watched this show but I always loved Paul Lynde. He was the wittiest person. Thanks for this compilation.
I only watched this show because of Paul lynde!
I miss Paul Lynde. He brought a lot of fun to television.
Well LOL anyway,anyhow.I do too!,Paul Lynde was a whole lot hilarious,especially on screen!
This is why game shows of 70s were awesome. The subtle lewdness of the questions and the stars themselves made them a riot to watch even years after they aired. Nothing like what we see today
Paul Lynde: Greatest center square ever!
Indeed!
Thank God for Paul Lynde and UA-cam. I still laugh pot loud at these.
Do you have good pot?? Could be linked to the laughing 😂
Man Paul Lynde is golden. I wish he was still alive. He is the quip King. Rest in peace Paul
I loved Paul Lynde! Anytime he was on Bewitched, it made the show thst much better. Remember watching him on Hollywood Squares with my grandmother and laughing our heads off at him
He was a classic! Never be another like him!
Gone for so long... and STILL making us laugh our arses off!! RIP, Paul! LOL!
just brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love Paul Lynde ........ Thanks for the laughter Paul.
Paul was one of the FUNNIEST of all time ,,,,,,,We miss comedians like him ,
God bless your memory, Paul Lynde, for all the laughter back then and now as I watched this collection.
Love this guy! He in my opinion was and is the king of the one liners! Paul Lynde could say 3-5 words and have you on the floor laughing hard! R.I.P. Paul.
PAUL was one OFTHE GREATEST COMICS miss his sense of humor RIP THANK YOU for the Laughter and Smiles 😊
He was the main reason to watch Hollywood squares
: Buddy Hackett tried and tried, even to the point of purposefully annoying and trying to steamroll to get Lynde's laughs, but the poor little guy couldn't catch on. Word was that Hackett started getting into hot water with Marshall and the producers over it, even the audience sometimes.
please
@charles allan true, that's why he was always in the middle 😁
The only reason.
It's 2020 and I still watch Paul. His comebacks are hilarious 😂😂😂
Paul Lynde made my mother laugh. THAT is a nice memory.
Such a legend. A marvel the whole way through the video.
I was bored on a slow Sunday afternoon and decided to watch old shows just for the fun of it. I'm so glad I did. Lynde was one in a million. Thanks to the uploader for reminding me just how funny he was. :)
"Full speed ahead" when a woman falls overboard is my favorite, LOL
Yes, it was funny -- but since I am a woman (who by the way had a VERY "women should remember 'their place'" father!) this joke does grate on my nerves a bit!! ;)
Omg I forgot how funny Paul Lynde was! I used to watch Hollywood Squares just bc I knew he would be on it w/funny answers but he was an intelligent guy. God rest his soul. Ty for bringing back good memories & lots of laughs. Ty UA-cam & ty for uploading. Peace out
Paul Lynde's delivery on his answers is spot on!!!! Great humor!!!!
His genius: He *invented* that classic sarcastic-laugh delivery! Perfect for the 60s + 70s.
He had a unique voice, you could make it out in an instant in many of the cartoon voices he did.
I used to watch this just for Mr. Lynde, as a child. (boy I'm old)
Man..i miss the good old days and Paul! Thanks for posting this gem!
Paul Lynde, funniest man ever to appear on daytime TV back in the 70's.
paul lynde true genius! could throw those one liners out there left and right he was a natural on Hollywood squares!
He accepted who he was and rolled with it for people to either love him or not. I admire his being real.
You know you just can't make shows like this anymore. And thats too bad. These were magical times
I loved that guy. He was the reason that I watched Hollywood Squares. Paul Lynde was so funny.
Always liked Mr Lynde, unique & astute, anticipating his retort might begin describing his exceptional ability. Caught my attention & deserved the center square.
There was nobody else like Paul Lynde.
One that made Paul so funny was not only his quick wit, but he delivered it with a straight face.
Kevin Doran then his sarcastic laugh sometimes he did
@@warrior_9726 That's what made him so successf ul as Uncle Arthur on Bewitc hed.
It was all scripted for him.
@@kathyyoung1774 It wasn't all scripted. Bruce Vilanch wrote for HS for years and he said Lynde would often ad lib even better than what was written. Lynde was a very quick wit.
You do know that answers were provided to the stars.
My mom laughed so hard at Paul Lyndes one liners, but all of the jokes went over my head. I loved the joy she got from watching the show on Friday nights and I bless him for bringing laughter to so many.
I'm glad that American Dad kinda brought Paul back to life with the character Roger's voice sounding like Lynde.
I'd forgotten how very funny he truly was! He had a great sense of timing and superior wit!
Paul Lynde was a master at the improvised one liner. He was always funny, and that's why he sat in the centre square. ;)
Loved Paul Lynde !! Loved his humor and he lifted my humor up quite a bit !! He helped raise my spirts up and made me laugh during my depression and bullying in high School in the 70s !!
Paul Lynde was wonderful! He could always break me up. Thank you so much for posting so much of his work.
Paul Lynde was a wonderful comedian.
Those who are older have to remember the best times of life we lived in this era...LOL
When a man falls out of a boat and into the water you should yell "Man overboard!"
Now what should you if a woman falls overboard? He says: "Full speed a head!" I was laughing so hard at that 😂
I love his humor He can still make me laugh after all these years
Peter Marshall: How many queens are there in a beehive? Paul Lynde: In which salon?
Great guy Paul Lynde was, you always knew it would be a great show when he was in it. Lost him way too soon.
I remember that show and how funny Paul Lynde was. What a genius he was!!!
That bit at the end with the car crash SFX is hysterical... Paul Lynde had such a wonderful delivery... he was the original snark! xoxo
He was a funny man. Used to watch the Squares mainly because of him.
I always enjoyed watching Paul on this show. Talent is talent.
Great video! Paul Lynde made Hollywood Squares the show that it was.
JackFleming Yes he was ! So why not put him in the middle s
Well just like every Chanel is out for RATTING. Why I'm sure they had him in the middle scare. You have more of a chances to win. Even though there question may have been scripted I believe it was up to the actors to come up with the answers. And Paul Lynde was a wittie guy. R.I.P. Paul Lynde !
Paul was absolutely hysterical!He would come out with something so funny and keep such a straight face...loved watching him!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Paul always cracked me up big-time!! My hat's off to the "Hollywood Squares" writers!!!
Yes he had lines written for him but he also ad lib many of his lines too. Ad lib takes natural humor talent. It is not something you train to be. You have to be born a natural humorous person and comedian too. Paul Lynde was a born natural humorous person. That is the natural charisma gift he had.
Just laughed myself silly. How innocent we all were back then....
Maybe YOU were!
@@mja91352 😅😅
At the end of the last clip, the horn that was used on that episode rather than the "tacky buzzer" was later used on the 80s version of the show. Paul Lynde was always so hilarious!
I remember one of my favorite things about Bewitched was when Paul Lynde made an appearance as Uncle Arthur.
mine too!
Paul Barrett mine 2!!
Whenever he appeared he was the center of attetion, and made the show 10 times funnier.
me too!
the episodes with him are my fav too!
🖤 rip mr lovely paul lynde 🖤
Paul was always hilarious! Just love him.
I have seen this more than 10 times! It is just hilarious! I used to watch this show and laugh at what I thought I knew. But Paul Lynde was ahead of his time hilarious! Thank you for uploading!
He was razor sharp
We need more like him
This is great. Paul Lynde was a classic and really funny guy.
God, I miss this man! The funniest man ever. His one liners were hilarious!
Deborah G.M. It has been 35 years in 2017 since Paul Lynde passed.
They were already scripted
Wow it's been that long? He is still missed.

Robert Berryman of course they were. Don’t be naive.. Paul Lynde would get the funniest ones
I vaguely remember Paul Lynde from the TV in 70's UK. I didnt realise how funny he is. Very like another "camp" UK actor Kenneth Williams with the rapid wit. Love it!
Check out his stuff with Dean Martin. Its pretty funny.
Im on it! Thanks for rec.
He was a comedic genius! What a treasure he was! Miss his humor.🙏❤
There was only one Paul Lynde. Miss the dude.
Paul Lynde had the best one liners ever!!
Loved Paul Lynd, the expressions on his face after he told a joke were priceless!
This dude was so damn funny,I'm glad that I was old enough to remember that show with him on it.
His was and still is one of the great one....Won't see anyone like this today with any of his skills.
You don't need to know anybody's sexual preferance to think their funny!
Lynde was the *king* of the one-liners! There has never been anyone like him with his slightly-acidic zingers!
Rest in peace, Paul - you are hugely missed.
He was a King of one-liners; Mae West was a Queen of one-liners! ;'-D
Paul made this world his stage. Funny, witty and a gentleman to boot
Paul Lynde - Another Comic Genius, that was under - rated...!!!
Loved this show! Paul was a riot!!
Paul Lynde was magnificent A comedic gem and an original in a class of his own
The guy was a hoot! A total fool....and the fastest "funny man" ever. Ever. Absolutely brilliant.
I always remember my mom just loving him!
I would never describe him as a fool. That's odd of you.
Robin Williams was much much quicker. But Paul Lynde was the best in his prime.
You do know his “jokes” were fed to him by writers before the show, right?
@@GhostOfBugsy yes, but it's all in the delivery. Not many people could pull it off so well.
He was of the funniest guys that ever lived...I remember this show a little bit from when I was very little. He had such great delivery that even as a kid I laughed my ass off...
Peter Marshall was so lucky to host this show for all of those years. What a job!

Buddy Hackett, was a great comic, and he tried to steal Paul's thunder on the Juliet Child question. Paul Lynde, gets irritated, but then, has a far better answer than Buddy. LOL.
He was so funny in anything he did. Always enjoyed him and his antics. Loved him in Bewitched!!!💓💓💓
I grew up watching Paul Lynde. When DeLa said she was doing him, I screamed. She nailed it.
Paul Lynde was the very best. There will never be another.
Absolute comic genius...and timeless....
No, they were not all planned but hey keep with that theory dumb ass.
Your research is flawed you fucking slapnut. NEXT!
Yeah, good comeback slappy. Does your mommy monitor your computer use ya fucking loser? Move on, you are out of your fucking league.

You know these are scripted, right?
Yup but it's the way he pulls it off. I think it's brilliant=)
+Natasha Bojorcas I think YOU are brilliant :*)
SpleenieMartini awww shucks!

Peter Marshall's Loud Jackets are so Neat!..I think I'll have that French 75 Now and make it Double!.. I miss Paul!..😉
All of his material on this show was written, by his delivery still made it seem spontaneous. So talented.
Paul is truly one of the most hilarious & unique comics of all time. A true laugh riot! 😂

I thought it was Stan Laurel.
I think Charles Nelson Reilly was a lot more funny and original than Richard
One of the greatest voice actors. His voice carried a perfect tone for villainy and were he alive today, would have been a hot property for all the producers of computer animation movies.
I like how Peter complimented Paul on the form of government question. Paul seemed very appreciative of that.
Paul Lynde was one of a kind. I miss him.
Paul Lynde was best at coming up with those funny answers on the original HS from 1970-1980.
Wish there were some DVDs of the old shows. Lots of this stuff is lost forever.
Peter: "Paul, what do you think of when you hear the letters I.C.B.M. ?
Paul: (Pause} "Bad doggy!"
Laughed so hard I cried. Still one of the funniest things I have ever seen on TV!
I loved him, on Hollywood Squares. It was a great show, back in the day.
I'd forgotten how truly funny he was; another comedian greatly missed...
“If it’s flying, it’s Rose-Marie” still makes me cackle every time
He is actually the only reason to watch Hollywood squares lol Could you imagine him and Robin Williams on the squares together lol
Gilbert Gottfried wasn't too bad.
