Frases de Henny Youngman

Henry "Henny" Youngman fue un humorista y violinista estadounidense famoso por sus "one-liners", agudezas o chistes cortos, de una única línea, explicados a gran velocidad.

En una época en la que muchos humoristas relataban anécdotas elaboradas, los números cómicos de Youngman consistían en decir una simple agudeza o chiste corto, ocasionalmente con paréntesis en los que tocaba el violín. Era conocido como el King of the One Liners, un título que le otorgó el columnista Walter Winchell. Una actuación típica de Youngman duraba solo de quince a veinte minutos, pero en la misma utilizaba docenas de chistes explicados a gran velocidad. Wikipedia
