Boomer Humor

Fun and Laughter - Senior Style

Boomer humor is becoming a new format by which we can laugh at ourselves. Soon our society here and abroad will be dominated by people in the 60+ age group, and they have a lifetime of experience to draw upon with which to poke fun at themselves and the twists and turns life has dealt them.

Let's take a look at how Boomers see themselves and the world that has become in their lifetimes.

Memorable Entertainment of the 60's and 70's

Many of us with children at home were careful in choosing entertainment for our families from the growing TV fare of the day.

And many of us chose Dean's show because of the hilarious humor of Foster Brooks -- the affable drunk who was a regular on Dean's show. The above is a sample of Foster's humor....

And who could ever forget the music of the early 60's that kept most of us glued to the radio, (or TV) every night. While there were many memorable tunes that enthralled us as this new age of sound took hold, there was one song that kept us 'singing along' for quite some time in 1961.
