Reality Check by Dave Whamond for March 07, 2024

I prefer more mimeless humor.

Did you hear about the cop who told the mime he had a right to remain silent?

They’re no friends of mime.

See what you started, Dave?

Remember Mel Brook’s “Silent Movie”? Only one spoken word in it, by Marcel Marceau: “Non!”

Title card: “What did he say?” “I don’t know- he spoke french!”

If a tree falls on a mine in the forest does he make a sound ?

“And stop that stupid ‘trapped in a box’ routine’.

Does a pantomime wears pant when on zoom meeting?

A mime is a terrible thing to waste!

I’d just prop a book in front of Marcel, no sense seeing what you can’t hear.

Marcel will not unmute himself. He prefers to contribute silently.

Possibly the most common words of the pandemic and in meetings since then – “You’re on mute”

Marcel is giving everyone the silent treatment…

Oui, oui!

Mime is an art form that makes a lot more sense in Europe where people travel a lot between countries that do not share the same language.

Mime has resulted in the creation of certain universal gestures like the one that says, “Get the heck away from me!”

Marcel Marceau what …?

( 3 times real fast )

  ͏

Ha! This time Marcel really is in a glass box!

Wait, is mime mic on?

Aah flashback to the days of Ed Sullivan.

Are there mimes anymore? I never see them, thankfully.

Isn’t he always??
