milligand and sellers as two indian men was always my favourite part

It's this insanity that keeps me sane...

Genuine alternative comedy.
Can still cause ructions in the nethers...even after all these years...
Glorious!

The dialogue and delivery of the scene with the two Indian Gentleman is superb

Oh man. They are bonkers. I'm in tears.  They are still the best

I heard the goon shows in the 1950 and it has affected my humour ever since. Maybe why I don't find modern comedians  very funny. Thank goodness for You tube I can listen to them all over again.

"Can your wife keep a secret?" "yes!" "then Im safe" :D :D

Very, very funny. "yes, don't shoot me!"

The last Turkey in the shop is a trick gentlemen can do by grasping the bellend and pulling up so the whole package looks like a scrawny Turkey. Hence, the last Turkey in the shop. Also, Hugh Jampton = huge Hampton. Hampton wick is rhyming slang, you can look it up

Pure genius.

I first heard them when I was about 25 years old in Missouri of all places in Mount Vernon Missouri I was there on a job for about nine months and the local station of Springfield played a gun show every Saturday night I was stunned I never heard of them before

Then when I get back home near Los Angeles about 10 years later I got all the CDs all the radio shows on CDs and eight converted them to a thumb drive up on the computer so I got all of them on a thumb drive on a computer they’re amazing you know the influence Monty Python and the influence the Beatles and the influenced the firesign theater

Jim Spriggs just cracks me up

Hugh Jampton!  Superb....

The 50's was a tough time for Britain.  The Goons are a very unique cultural response to the collapsing empire at the time.  Two of the goons were WW2 veterans and knew first hand about military adventures abroad.  It is surprising, re-listening to the Goon shows, how many of them were about collapse of failed schemes abroad, empires falling apart, loss of British prestige.  And doing it with humor.  I like to think that psychological, such cultural production helped some English people accept and cope with losing an empire.

Compare/contrast with American media production today.  I do not see any equivalent popular show in American media to the Goons.  What we get is insane pro-spy, pro-military, pro-might propaganda in our popular media; all while it seems clear our empire and military power is crumbling, and domestic situation deteriorating.  I worry that we Americans are not going to go gracefully from the world stage.

Sheer comic genius. I heard my first Goon Show in 1955 or 1956 and have been a fanatic since! I shall be 70 in June 2018 and the magic is still fresh. I listen to the shows regularly.
A  LAAAAARGE Scotch or few, a joint or two and aural hilarity and bliss!!

I love Major Dennis Bloodnok!

'The natives are revolting!'
'I dunno Sir, they're nice chaps...'
