点评:My family and I absolutely love the National Comedy Center. Everyone who works there is always so helpful and friendly.
I’m so happy they created this and have so many wonderful artifacts from so many amazing comedians over the last century. Comedy is my favorite genre of entertainment and it just seems like everything is so serious anymore.
You can’t help but smile and laugh while walking through. It’s a joy to see the existing and new exhibits every time we visit. There’s something for everyone no matter what your brand of comedy is. It’s fantastic. There are artifacts like clothes, scripts, jokes, Emmy’s, pictures, personal effects, etc. We love them. It makes it real.
The Carl Reiner exhibit is absolutely incredible. He was such a comedic pioneer especially in early tv. He also helped create some amazing stars like Dick Van Dyke, Steve Martin and Mel Brooks. His friendship with Mel spanned several decades. I loved seeing the chairs they sat in nightly to have dinner and watch tv. I heard that Mel Brooks donated thousands of things to the museum. I can’t wait to see them added to the museum.
I was also interested to see Joan Rivers’ jokes and memorabilia. She was such a trailblazer and so clever. She did things that woman at the time could not do like host the Tonight Show. She also spoke the truth which was not possible for women at the time. She was hilarious and lead the way for so many wonderful female comedians after her. Loved seeing the old clips, her original and remade joke files. The jokes were too funny.
I also really enjoyed the new Lenny Bruce and roasts section in the Blue Room. Lenny Bruce was also a trailblazer. He was similar to Joan Rivers where he spoke the truth and the authorities didn’t like it and often arrested him for what they considered foul and indecent speech. His jokes were hilarious and he lit up every room he graced.
The roasts section highlighted by the sharp wit and zingers by Don Rickles at the Friars who started the whole genre. It also led to the infamous Dean Martin roasts later on.
The interactive exhibits are always fun. It’s great to listen to old clips, try some iconic scenes for yourself dnd pretend that you’re doing standup at the infamous Caroline’s.
If you love comedy like I do, you must visit. You will not be sorry. Plan to be there around two hours your first time.
翻译:我和家人都非常喜欢国家喜剧中心。那里的每一位工作人员都热情友善、乐于助人。
我很高兴他们创建了这个中心,里面陈列着上个世纪众多杰出喜剧演员的珍贵藏品。喜剧是我最喜欢的娱乐形式,可如今似乎一切都变得太过严肃了。
走进这里,人们总会情不自禁地微笑甚至大笑起来。每次参观时,能看到那些常设展览和新设展览真是件乐事。无论你喜欢哪种类型的喜剧,这里都有适合你的内容。真是太棒了!馆内陈列着各种珍品,比如服饰、剧本、笑话、艾美奖奖杯、照片以及个人物品等等。我们超喜欢这些展品,它们让整个历史变得鲜活起来。
卡尔·赖纳的展览绝对令人惊叹。他堪称喜剧界的先驱,尤其在早期电视领域贡献卓著。他还助力培养了迪克·范·戴克、史蒂夫·马丁和梅尔·布鲁克斯等杰出艺人。他与梅尔的友谊更是持续了数十年之久。我很喜欢看到那些他们每晚用来吃饭和看电视的椅子。我听说梅尔·布鲁克斯向博物馆捐赠了成千上万件物品,我迫不及待想看到它们被陈列在博物馆里。
我也很想看看琼·里弗斯的笑话片段和纪念品。她真是一位开创者,极其聪慧。她做到了当时女性无法做到的事情,比如主持《今夜秀》。她还敢于说出真相,这在当时对于女性来说也是不可能的。她非常搞笑,为后来无数优秀的女喜剧演员铺平了道路。我很喜欢观看她的旧片段,还有她原创及重新演绎的段子集。那些笑话真的太好笑了。
我还特别喜欢“蓝屋”节目中新增设的“莱尼·布鲁斯与吐槽环节”。莱尼·布鲁斯同样也是一位先驱者。他和琼·里弗斯很相似:都说真话,因此当局并不喜欢他,还经常以“言语粗俗、有伤风化”为由将他逮捕。他的笑话妙趣横生,所到之处都能活跃气氛、点燃全场。
“吐槽大会”这一形式正是由唐·里克斯在“Friars”俱乐部中以机智的言辞和犀利的吐槽开创的。后来这也催生了著名的迪恩·马丁吐槽大会。
互动展览也总是充满乐趣。听听往年的精彩片段,亲自体验一下那些经典桥段,再假装自己正在著名的卡罗琳喜剧俱乐部里表演单口喜剧,真是其乐无穷。
如果你和我一样热爱喜剧,那就一定得来参观。绝对不会让你失望的。第一次去的话,计划在那里待大约两小时吧。
