HopsGuy Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) That lady really understood comedy. Rapid fire, incredibly aware of timing. Also - wore unflattering clothing despite being physically attractive to focus on the funny. My dad loved to tell me the same story (over and over) about meeting Martha Raye. I kept getting the two mixed up and asking him, "Is that the one you met on the train?" He'd say, "No, that one (Phylils) is funnier - but not by much."

ajzepp Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I've always loved Phyllis Diller That lady really understood comedy. Rapid fire, incredibly aware of timing. Also - wore unflattering clothing despite being physically attractive to focus on the funny. My dad loved to tell me the same story (over and over) about meeting Martha Raye. I kept getting the two mixed up and asking him, "Is that the one you met on the train?" He'd say, "No, that one (Phylils) is funnier - but not by much." She was the queen of self-deprecating humor, and I loved her for that...very smart, very creative...feels like she's been there my entire life since I remember her from back in the 70s when I was really young. RIP, Phyllis! You'll be missed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsner Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 She was one of a kind as an entertainer, and with a unique fashion sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanM.D. Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Very funny lady....I'll always remember her as a 'guest star' on Scooby Doo. Probably not her best work...but I always liked it. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 RIP Phyllis. My mother was out in LA visiting us a number of years ago. We took her to Spago. Phyllis was there a couple of tables away. My mom swore it wasn't her until she laughed. "Oh yes, that's her" my mom said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
