For decades, Amalgamated Humor has also had its hand in raising the level of public humor through films, radio programs, television shows and even bible tracts. Now that we safely can claim copyright to these works for the next hundred years or so (thanks Supreme Court!) and their work-for-hire creators can't sue us, we've decided to periodically go through our archives and dust off some classic scripts.



This Month: "A Scene from the Gotham City Museum"
Ever wonder how your job would be in a city full of crazy costumed villains? Well, we don't care-- here's a little scene about it, anyway.

"I Love the Oughties"
An excerpt from the VH1RetroFamilyMusicannel television series "I Love the Oughties," a nostalgic look back at the years 2000-2009 to be aired in the early 2020s.

"Amalgamated Humor Radio Theatre with Sterling Tracy" (excerpt)
This is a script excerpt from an Amalgamated Humor-sponsored radio program during World War II. In this segment, a popular comedy team of the day, Two Hungry Guys, discuss how folks on the homefront can help the war effort. Interestingly, this brief appearance falls in line with their wartime film "Two Hungry Guys Enlist in the Army, Figuring, 'Hey, At Least it's Three Square Meals a Day,' But Then They Find Out it's More Trouble Than it's Worth."

"Whoopee Ad"
Amalgamated Humor, Inc. made a very dramatic statement with this television ad in 1962. It sparked a newfound interest in our products, as well as proving true the old adage that "fear and imminent death sell." A year or two later, a prominent political figure stole the concept almost shot for shot for his campaign. A vigorous legal block from our company prevented his intellectual theft from being aired more than once, however.

"The Dinner Sketch"
A couple tries to have a nice, quiet anniversary dinner-- to hilarious effect! , this is a selection from the short-lived late-night sketch comedy program, "Cap'n Live!" The program aired Wednesdays at 11:30 in syndication in as many as thirty stations around the country, and ran five weeks before its cancellation. This scene was the winner of the 1987 Humanitas Prize for Comedic Writing In a Late-Night Program (Television Division).
