I remember seeing Phyllis Diller on TV as a kid and sure, I may not have understood a lot of her jokes when I was seven or even ten, but that woman was funny. Recently watched the first season of the Muppet's and she was on it. Very funny and a very interesting dresser.

The End of an Era

All the almost old time comics are dead 1 or 2 left. She was a very funny lady and Roseann took over her style.She opened the door for a few others as well.

First Minnie Pearl, Now Phyllis Diller - my style gurus are passing on! My mom would say that Omar the tentmaker's business is on it's last legs. Until the Kardashian girls get a little older that is.

Diller, the ability to laugh at oneself

Submitted by on

Phyllis Diller represents an era when humor was not putting someone else down. She could laugh at herself. I liked her is doses. She had a laugh that was unique, she wasn't a copy of someone else and after she was God broke the mold.
I laugh because even I had a chance to look as nice as her, but there was more to her than appearance. She had a wit and intelligence that belied her demeanor. Everyone should be missed, she is one who will be.

Hugs, JessieC

It’s true Fang and I fight, but we’ve never gone to bed mad. Of course, one year we were up for three months.

Humor is something I picked up on. When I was younger I always made myself the butt of my jokes not others.
