Classic Comedy Albums

[WildcatfaninOhio]

You younger folk might not know or care of this topic. But believe it or not, but back in the day, before Comedy Central and HBO stand-up specials, we used to purchase albums of comedy material from our favorites.

Here's a few that I had and remember fondly...

Anyone else have a favorite or two that they bought and listened to for laughs?

Comedians still release comedy albums.

I have early David Steinberg, Johnathan Winters, Steve Martin and Homer and Jethro albums.

Used to have Vaughn Meader’s First Family album as well as Alan Sherman’s.(Both list. 🙁)

I don't know about specific albums, but Bob Newhart, Nichols and May and Bob & Ray released some great stuff.

Adam Sandler one in HS. Me and my buddies used to love that one. Also a prank phone call one - can’t remember the name. Crank yankers maybe?

Sandler had some good ones. What the Hell Happened To Me, and Everyone's Gonna Laugh at You.
The Jerky Boys were the prank callers. They got semi-big and had a movie.

Mom and Dad had a Red Foxx album when I was a kid. Had no idea it was going to be dirty because all I knew about him was Sanford and Son, which I loved. I put that album on and those expletives were flying and Mom comes in and says this isn't for kids, lol.

I had a number of Cheech and Chong cassette tapes growing up.

At one time I had every album he came out with. One of my favorites for sure.
