I just think Carl interviewing Mel as the 2000 year old man was the best. This is an excellent box set. The best album of the five of them althouth all five are good is 2013. That was the first of them where the whole album was them asking and answering questions as the 2000 year old man. I wish all five albums had been like that. But they didnt need to be.

The 2000 Year Old Man is a comedy sketch, originally created by Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner in the 1950s and first publicly performed in the 1960s. Mel Brooks plays the oldest man in the world, interviewed by Carl Reiner in a series of comedy routines that were recorded into a collection of records, as well as being performed on television

Carl Reiner pops up in the audience of the upcoming Mel Brooks/Dick Cavett HBO special to do some vintage 2,000-year-old man schtick. Posted on September 01, 2011, 17:56 GMT. Matt Wilstein Community Contributor. BuzzFeed Community is a place where anyone can create a post or quiz.

Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks’ 2000-year-old man routine started in the early '50s as impromptu and improvised performances at parties, but the premise - a very old, slightly grumpy man (Brooks) has had silly encounters with every person of note in history, and Reiner is eager to interview him about his recollections - allowed the pair to take their mostly spontaneous dialogue. in any direction they chose.

In the early 1950s, friends and fellow comedy writers Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks started doing the routine at parties: Reiner would play the interviewer and straight man, asking Brooks a series of questions that he would answer as the world’s oldest man. For example: REINER: What was the means of transportation then? . The Complete History presents the duo’s comedy albums in full, which means it includes many sketches that have nothing to do with the 2,000-year-old man, although they ape the interview premise. All are amusing, but none give them the comic opportunities as the oldest man in the world.

The 2,013yearold man, who lives on the purest mountain water (10 degrees below room temperature) and stuffed cabbage wants to die because there is nothing for him to do. I'm bent, I drop things, I can't remember things. I'm only fit to be a waiter, he explains. And yet he is afraid to die because he might meet Jesus and he is embarassed because he once paid him only four bucks for a cabinet. He has 42,000 children- 21,000 doctors, and not a one comes to visit. Seventyone per cent of his four or fivehundred marriages were successful.

Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks fashioned the 2000 Year Old Man as an improv game to entertain friends at parties. Brooks' wacky but literate sense of humor took over, and the rest is comedy history.
