Need It Now? The Wonderful Wit of W.C. Fields

70 years ago he passed away
Published on Jun 23, 2017
William Claude Dukenfield (January 29, 1880 – December 25, 1946), better known as W. C. Fields, was an American comedian, actor, juggler and writer. Fields' comic persona was a misanthropic and hard-drinking egotist, who remained a sympathetic character despite his snarling contempt for dogs and children.
This is just a small collection of his great talent for comedy on all levels. His style of comedy was unique and traits of it can be found in modern day comedy. Al Bundy, Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin have a lot to owe to this guy.

U think this is funny? Go find his depiction of Humpty Dumpty, in the 30s version of Alice in Wonderland.
