Product description

His routines are as hilarious today as when his first LP The Button-Down Mind was issued. It actually beat Elvis to No 1 in the US charts. Newhart worked as a copywriter for a film producer and whiled away the time writing imaginary telephone calls. Some he sent to radio stations and also tried out at comedy clubs. Bob made his mark as a solo straight man – the rather nervous half of an imaginary dialogue with an inept learner driver or a life-guard who has found an unexploded bomb (‘You think that’s unusual do you, finding a shell on the beach?) or the sceptical recipient of yet another Raleigh life-changing discovery etc– but the beauty of Newhart’s performance is that one can so easily speculate what the other participant in the dialogue is saying.” (James Murray)

    Absolutely hilarious.

    I was reminded of this comic artist by an episode of Mad Men in which they are gathered around a record player listening to a recording of his act, I promptly decided to look up the availability of his material in a more modern format and here it was.

    Some of the material, the more famous such as The Driving Instructor, is available on YouTube if you would like to give it a listen to test run the content to see if it is the kind of humour that you like. The sound quality is great, it may have been recorded live, remastered or recorded from the original record recordings but it is clearly audible and audience noise does not detract in any way from the content delivered by Bob.

    There are bound to be people who may seize upon minor details, such as The Driving Instructor sketch featuring a woman driver, to suggest that the comedy is chauvinistic or dated in terms of social attitudes but that would be unfair whether or not it could ever be proven that this was significant at all. Its not what I found made for laughs either.

    The sketches are usually telephone conversations or "overheard dialogue", I dont know the extent to which its scripted or improvised but it is really and truly belly laughs and laugh out loud funny stuff. Like the "sales pitch" of Walter Raleigh's discovers to a sketpical and incredulous public back in England, its not possible to say more without providing spoilers which I know some people find highly disagreeable in a review, or another reflecting upon the fact that teams of experts are always deployed to defuse unexploded bombs, well, what if some pretty inexpert guys are called to respond instead?

    This is good clean funny humour which is likely to appeal across any age divide and provide a great spoken word accompaniment to any road trip or journey.

    Bought the CD as my old cassette tape had seen (far) better days.
    CD reminded me of how funny Newhart's monologues had been back in the day - though even now most (if not nearly all) of the tracks had not "dated".
    The Walter Raleigh, Bus Driver School and Driving Instructor tracks remain brilliant and (for the sake of road safety) should not be listened to when driving.
    Played parts of the CD to some friends who had not previously heard them (or, in one case, even heard of Bob Newhart) and they also found them hilarious.
    Would highly recommend this CD to anyone with a sense of humour as, upon hearing it, even my wife laughed!

    Never heard of Bob Newhart until my friend asked me to order it for him. I listened to him expecting some rubbish. What a funny man he is. I laughed so much I missed his next story. I would recommend this CD. It is great for yourself and as a present to someone Very good buy. Wasn't rubbish at all!!

    YOu can sit and listen to Bob Newhart and smile, chuckle and even belly laugh at his humour. A few simple words and you can picture the scene and they are so tru to life.
    The best bit is that here we have genuine laughter inducing humour without a single swearword or obscene joke. THis is what real humour used to be and our modern so called comedians should learn from Bob.

    This is an extremely funny cd. It arrived on time and in excellant condition. If you asked me which part of this was the funniest,I couldn't answer,as every part of this is absolutely hilarious. Is it the most "timely" recording that you will ever listen to,NO! That doesn't matter. The comedy that is presented is family friendly,good for all audiences,and will definately make you make you smile.
