Puppet Pantomime?

[Fozzie Bear]

What do you call a bear actor with motion and no sound?

A PANDA-MIME! WOCKA WOCKA!

Haaaaaa! Oh, I'm so funn-ee!
(And making this all up strictly for this thread, shame on me).

Know why I got my jeans back from my cousin?

Because they were pant-o'-mine! HAAAA! OH! This is my "A" material!

Thanks, Beau! That was a great description. It still sounds a lot like American melodrama where the audience hisses the villain and cheers the hero, etc.

Pantomime over here is what Red Skelton sometimes used to do or someone like Marcel Marceau or even Ernie Kovacs on occasion. They were bits performed without dialogue and sometimes without props or costumes. All those things would be "mimed".

But I've learned something! Thanks again.

What do you call a tired clown dog?

Pantin' mime! Get it? Panto--Pantin'...it's, nevermind...

Why did a mime try to cook an egg on his foot?

Because it was a pan-toe...Panto...get it, get it?
