From the 1970s. This is one game show I always watched when I could, and it was because of Paul Lynde.
"Paul, a friend wants to give you a French 75. What is that?"
"Well, that's 25 more than last time." _____
"Paul, how many men on a hockey team?"
"About half."

He almost killed Buddy Hackett!
I always liked Charles Nelson Reilley on Match Game, too. A total cut-up as well.

They don't make 'em like those guys anymore...
I have a beach movie DVD (For Those Who Think Young) with Paul in it. He and Bob Denver were big scene stealers, in a good way.

I definitely remember mom, my brother, and me laughing at Mr. Lynde, though I was young enough to not get half his insinuating jokes. Glad I was able to enjoy them when I got older and "wiser"...
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

That's some funny stuff! I remember watching those old shows and my father laughing like crazy, I was young and asked him to explain and my mom just said someday you'll understand!
Great post to break up the afternoon with some laughter, we need more posts like this

We bought the set of Bewitched DVDs for our grand daughters to watch when they come over. Paul Lynde's character (Uncle Arthur) was funny as hell.

Lynde was great, but I'm more of a Redd Foxx fan.

Here's a Red Foxx joke:
A man goes to a whorehouse. He's got both legs and both arms in casts.
"What do you want??" asks the Madame.
The man says "I rang the bell, didn't I?" _____
And then there's this:

Thanks Para. Never seen that clip before. By the end of his life he was piss poor, and owed the IRS for a bunch of $$$$. Apparently he had the network pay him in cash for his Sandord & Son work thinking he would be able to skirt taxes. Stupidly he didnt realize that it was all reported and he was liable for the tax on that income. Great entertainer either way imho, albeit a bit misguided.

Watched Paul Lynde give an answer. The girl was uncertain and hesitated. Lynde says "Trust me." She did, he lied. Yes, the fine print said the stars could deceive.

I just watched a bunch of his Hollywood Squares clips last week. He was great.
