I was born in January 1964 , my mother was 29.old for a mom in those days.she loved loved piano as for the sound of the instrument, though she could not play any . This man was amongst her most favorite of all entertainers..I watch ever video I find of this man just because I know my mother would have.😊

Thank you for posting these Victor Borge routines. I grew up seeing him on variety shows and his humor has dated well - which is to say - not dated at all. He was a unique solo entertainer with a richer bag of tricks than almost anyone before or since. A one-man mix of rapid-fire and often self-effacing patter, visual gags that rival the Marx Bros, and of course, expert musicality. Mirth and music personified - a true legend.

Thanx so much, artfrob, for sharing this little treasure. Keep 'em coming, please. I used to watch Victor Borge with my mom and dad, every chance we got; on his show, and many others. We all loved him. Daddy's favorite routine was Inflated Arithmetic, and Mama and I loved Phonetic Punctuation. If anyone said 'Loo-TEN-ant', daddy would grin and say 'You mean Loo-ELEVEN-ant'. And mama and I would always end our questions with 'Keeresch pookt', drawing the curved line and period of the question mark in the air. I miss seeing Victor on tv. Such a fun and funny, multi-talented man. RIP mama, daddy, and Victor, and thanx, all, so so very much for the magic, music, and memories.

Plus great old movies that Ive never seen, and interesting documentaries about our favourite " all time greats". Its a whole world of entertainment, seemingly almost inexhaustible.

There was a time when television was educational, had morals, and fostered the (good) American (and world) values and traditions of family, neighborhood love, etc... By the late sixties, our television (and movies) got darker, more explicitly violent, destructive, while the nuclear family was coming apart - a lot of it motivated by advertising money, controversy, love of scandals (Phil, Renaldo, Springer, Lake, etc..., the "saucier", the better!).

‘Man , it’s gone’ is 50s slang for ‘Dude, it rocks.’ Or ‘It’s sick.’ Or ‘It’s cool.’ And stuff... Just in case you didn’t get the joke. Sad to say, much of this erudite musical humour would not connect with the audiences of subsequent decades. No wonder, as the years went on, that Borge effectively dumbed-down his act. All kudos to the kid, but so many child prodigies grow up to be merely talented adults among a host of other talented adults, with nothing ‘extra’ to give them an edge.

FlagDUDE08 The producer of Victor's 1951 TV show said it was very difficult to convince Victor to do this skit among many others.
