EPISODE 6!!! Two Old Queens Who've Just a Minute to Catch Up!!

Funnier than most SNL sketches lately.

So funny and clever. Thank you Miss OP!

I case you all missed this.....Bitch Chat. I think half of the views are me!!!

Loved this! The other queen (not Mr. Mustache) was Chloe Sevigny on YouTube.

LOVE.

very cute

That was great, thanks OP.

“I get all my news from Stephanie Powers” killed me.

Both of those actors are surely regular visitors to the Datalounge.

Welcome back Chloe!

Mia Farrow always looks blurry!

The chapter of importance!

^ I can't decide which actor is better, both kill. Hilarious! And the B&W sells it.

I don’t get it.

Thanks, OP. I pissed myself laughing.

“My wall-eyed neighbor”

This is us.

I love Jim Rash in R12! Mitch Silpa is very funny, I'm surprised he doesn't have a bigger following.

"A raccoon is destroying my wig room."

"Timothy Bottoms.....wasn't."

After watching that, I'm craving some....to-ast

Scrappy Doo was a communist plot!

EXCELLENT! 😂😂😂

The only thing Marilu Henner doesn't remember is to pick up the check".

Excellent OP. I don't get all the references, but it was fucking delightful. Thanks.

r24 it's just all random stream of consciousness

I loved it! Delightful.

Mitch Silpa is always doing shows at The Groundlings and he rarely disappoints.

Wonderful! I LOLed.

I have spent a good amount of time imitating the perfectly delivered, "Yes, let's" at the beginning. It's like a salacious growl.

LET'S!!!

luuuuuuuuuuuv !!!!!!!

Donna Pescow inspired [italic]Klute[/italic]!

I just woke up my partner by watching Bitch Chat, and it was worth it.

Mitch Silpa is new to me, but I've loved Drew's work for years.

me too

Want moar!

The evening wine video is so perfect. It just builds and builds. I had tears in my eyes and couldn't breathe at one point.

Seventh episode!

I laughed out loud from start to finish. This is great!

"The only thing Marilu Henner forgets is to pick up the check."

Dying!

I don’t get 90% of it, but I still love it.

"Donna Pescow inspired Klute!"

Dial it back, Kate Nelligan.

Madame Soutsatzka is a cautionary tale.

Wow, none of these lines quoted even elicited a smile. You tired queens are easily amused.

Thank you, dour Queen Victoria at r44.

i thought the gays were supposed to have a more elevated sense of humor and taste. I guess not.

r46 is the reason the phrase *Blow it out your ass* was invented.

"Sandy Dennis lived on her own saliva!"

yawn.....

R41 same. As a Zillennial I don’t recognise a single name they mention, but the comments are punny enough to stand on their own as humor without the reference. Half the laughs come from the delivery.

By the way, can someone explain this one to me?—“if there was a grape on the table, Lee Meriwether would take it!” I’m mystified by the comment and I can’t even guess what the joke is, but I find it so hilarious all the same.

Part of the humor, r50, is the mere randomness of it.

r50, yeah, I recall lee merriwether and she really doesn't ring a bell about grapes. just absurdist gay theater

R50 - Lee Meriwether was middle aged but still quite beautiful — in a classy and somewhat demure way. So the idea that she’d be cheap and greedy enough to grab whatever crumb she could get is very against type. These jokes are surreal, but there is often an insanely funny alchemy with whomever is mentioned.

Again, not the least bit funny.

I don’t think so, Deborah Van Valkenburg.

I think one, maybe two people come to DL periodically and try to make these threads and these skits ‘happen’ but they never do. The attempt can be clearly seen by all the rapid fire responses of “Delightful!” and the guffawing after the tiresome lines that the OP and company are attempting to convince you are side-splitting hilarious.

For those of you who don’t get it, it isn’t you. The OP has posited this crap here for years, hoping to make his “comic” routine a thing. I’m gay, 54 and have no idea what they’re talking about. None of it makes sense. The humor isn’t campy, it’s just meaningless and lazy. It’s based on nothing other than the OP/actor (or both actors) doing drag shtick, then posting it on DL convincing themselves it’ll help with their Google search results.

These are very funny. My favorite is Reading and Evening Wine, which seems to be a wild take on Dixie Carter and her husband Hal Holbrook.

I’m laughing as I type this

[quote] For those of you who don’t get it, it isn’t you. The OP has posited this crap here for years, hoping to make his “comic” routine a thing. I’m gay, 54 And please oh god somebody shit in my mouth

Understanding the comedy requires experience with gay men. Guys on the spectrum don’t have to “get it”, but trying to be a cunt about things you won’t understand is just trying too hard. Scroll past.

Puts a smile on my face. Would be fun to meet these two.

Dale & Morton have a healthier and more vibrant social life than any of us.

I agree

Chloe 2.0 : Pillow Talk Cunts

THANK YOU, OP!!!!! This is so great!!!

fank you!

r56 - Bitter, party of one!

Don't you just love the arbiters of humor who grace us with their presence and opine on what we're allowed to find funny? They must be absolutely tedious to be around.

All of the posted links are hilarious.

It's just funny to me that in 25 years, all the fucking Britney memes that 35 year-old millennials STILL communicate with will be embarrassing old hat garbage.

Throwing around the names of '70s has-beens with rapid-fire aplomb does not make you funny, it merely ensures no one will ever want to fuck you.

r70 is the reason the word cunty was invented.

I'm okay with that.

[quote] Wow, none of these lines quoted even elicited a smile. You tired queens are easily amused.

You’re culturally illiterate.

Oh excuse me, R73, I forgot Lee Meriwether and Deborah Van Valkenburgh supped at the Algonquin Round Table on the regular.

I don't even have one minute for R70

[QUOTE] I’m gay, 54 and have no idea what they’re talking about.

You’re culturally retarded then and you sound like a bit of a cunt, to be honest. I’m 42 and got the majority of the references.

Why even post on this thread?

R70, when was the last time you were properly fucked? Was it pre-AIDS era?

Ohh, now we know why R77 is so sensitive. He writes for these guys.

They are role models!

The only thing missing is the two of them ending the call in unison by saying FOLLIES! in a sing-song voice to each other.

The Queens should shout us out in their next one, as thanks for all this free press.

Maybe they can make a stealth DL reference or do a Bit, something only we would know and recognise.

They'll know you saw it since you're the only ones watching

Mmm, no, R78, I don’t. I just have a wider range of cultural and pop references.

I think I deserve mention...I was an *actual* queen.

"The Datalounge is where people go when they've been rejected by a suicide hotline."

I watched 6 in a row and my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing.

It's disappointing the videos don't have more likes, but perhaps with time the comedy will be fine tuned and appeal to a broader audience.

As is, I hope they keep making more.

[quote] I watched 6 in a row and my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing.

That's atrophy, dear.

what a delight!

R59, you have way, wayyy too much invested in this. But, you knew that already. Nobody is in need of "understanding the comedy". You've been here forever, attempting to make these videos happen. It's gotten you into trouble in the past, but you won't give it up.

Are you expecting to be "discovered" by Lorne Michaels? Second City? At this stage, what's your hope and dream here? Because if you're still trolling the Datalounge trying to 'happen', things just aren't going to work out the way you'd planned.

And, stop commenting on your own threads Mary. The multiple accounts and cache-clearing aren't fooling anybody. You're not clever enough to pull it off.

r89 is the reason the word damaged was invented.

Damn, R89. I only got "cunty."

fascinating and delightful

Judy Tenuta can't keep a houseplant.

Is that a joke?

R94 Then you don't have to watch. Did you have to buy a fucking ticket, asshole?

r94 is the reason the word morose was invented.

Dreadful OP, just dreadful.

Sorry, but if you think "Judy Tenuta can't keep a houseplant" is funny, then you're a fucking idiot.

R98 Miserable cunt.

The humor is in the randomness and "nonsensicalness" of it all.

Plucking D-list celebrity names or celebrities long forgotten out of thin air and juxtaposing them against mundane things like keeping houseplants or hating teriyaki if what makes you go "what the hell?" and chuckle.

This kind of humor is lost on people whose idea of funny is a fart joke.

So which one do we think is the person who keeps defending this unfunny crap, Droege or the bald one?

You're a sad, pathetic man, r101.

R101 probably both. It is too much work for one individual.

Some find this sketch funny, some don’t. Some guys like uncut cock, some don’t.

Why is it on every DL thread the “don’ts” feel the need to proclaim their preference as The One True Way and would universally enforce their point of view like Joan Crawford & Stalin’s love child if only they could?

"I only have a minute because I need to see what's on in that cesspool of cunticia, the Datalounge."

"Is that still a thing?"

"Was it ever?"

"I know right? I hear they let anyone in!"

Oh yeah, they definitely are posting their stuff here to get it to take hold.

By the looks of the views, they're failing miserably.

I love it

"I only have a minute, my fully loaded potato just exploded."

A sincere question, r106. If you don't enjoy them or appreciate them, why are you posting in (or even reading) this thread?

Because they are trolls darling @R109 who want to derail conversation and irritate others. They want to make community impossible. The psychology of trolls is much discussed but it is a form of psychopathology. Its low level evil.

Because I'm sincerely boggled that anyone finds this crap funny. It's really awful. Like I get people finding Adam Sandler movies funny because they're stupid straight people and those movies aren't meant for us, so I don't even try and comprehend why they're popular because I just know- not in my DNA. But I guess that, even though I have been presented with a ton of evidence over the years to the contrary, I still don't understand gay men who have terrible taste.

I suppose it's just a fact of life, but I still rubberneck at it because I find it so inexplicable.

And R110, get off your fucking high horse. As though these shitty skits have fuck one to do with "community."

The community I was referring to was the one that was sustained by interesting discussions here on DL before the arrival thyself of the repetitive negative posts, R111. Yeah we get it troll you say you don't like them. The first five times saying it was sufficient.

I find it so ironic that you accuse another poster of being on their high horse, r111.

[quote] Yeah we get it troll you say you don't like them. The first five times saying it was sufficient.

And you gushing over them fifteen times was more than sufficient. Talk about trolling.

So, your shitting all over this thread isn't trolling, r114?

R98

It's weird how humor works. Not that you would know.

[quote]Understanding the comedy requires experience with gay men.

No, it requires that you have to be old and one of those "child recluses" that is really into old hollywood. and spent their childhood parked in front of their vintage black and white TV. You're average gay guy won't know who 99% of the people are.

R117

"Your," not "you're."

Are you one of those people Trump loves? You know, the poorly educated?

One thing I've strived to 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 be, r117, is...average.

These Two Old Queens videos are an EDUCATION in themselves.

Now that they've mentioned Deborah Van Valkenberg they have to put in there about Lydia Cornell being the great granddaughter of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Or Esther Williams only marrying guys with big dicks.

I find these hilarious, they really sound like snippets of eldergay conversations, from the relative obscurity of the references to the high degree of concern and being out of sorts about totally mundane things when a celeb is involved, to those showbiz convos where people try to top each other's theatre stories.

Part of the humor is how utterly fucking obscure their references are. They know no one is going to get their jokes and they're doing it anyway because -- guess what! -- sour-faced trolls who feel compelled to let us know what's Funny and What Isn't don't fucking matter.

Nearly this entire thread is the weird OP replying to herself. She's been here forevah trying to make this shtick happen. (The OP = the guy making the videos if the rest of you haven't figured that out already.) Nobody's being "bitter" or "humorless". Some of us have just been around long enough to see the OP shill his YouTube "comedy" channel on DL.

r123 is the reason the word delusional was invented.

I love it

This reminds me of Yelp.

Each time a bad restaurant gets a bad review, someone chimes in with an obviously fake good review

I love it, it's fun and silly

Chloe has gotten her vakzheen!

Oops, wrong link!

Chloe has gotten her vakzheen!

R117

One of the young twerps who is making DL so unfunny

This is the only absurd premise I've ever loved.

I love the way you hate it, r126, when I'm happy and you're not.

Old bitches gonna bitch

I'm so delighted R117 hates it, uses the term "gay dudes" and hasn't learned the "your" vs. "you're" thing. She's exactly the person who just won't get it.

Episode 8 is out!

I was smiling and enjoying up until the end, but "No one plays Jewish better than Blyth Danner" made me lose it. Subscribed.

hilarious

Mame was a horror film.

This is why God built YouTube.

Liked the wind knocked over my butter dish and Frank Langella is never happy.

"Mary Higgins Clark was laughing at us all." That one didn't ring true.

"I miss songs about people calling their doctors." That's funny.

I do too

I do it too

Brigadoon was a festival of lies

we will never forget

I love the different things Morton says at the very end to say goodbye--my favorite is the Christmas one where he says, "Season's Hubley!"

Dumb and lame.

What is a season’s Hubley?

So clever and funny.

Season Hubley is an actress.

that's great

EPISODE 8!!!

I would love to know how they do it. Do they each write disjointed random sentences and then fit them together? Do they surprise each other by recording separately and then dovetailing them into this wild ride? This is exactly what Tiktok is for. I hope they move it over to Tiktok, although I bet less funny people would duet their video and add references that didn't fit their timelines.

LOVE YOU if you're DLers, as I suspect you are!

they are queens

Love them. Love to meet them for coffee. So clever. Kisses!

Episode 9 is out!

Cuties but they went over the minute limit

"a gimmick"

I am 100% sure both of them are Dataloungers

Absolutely certain they're Dataloungers. Love you two!

Hardest I've laughed in a while! Thank you OP!

That sure perked up the day. Love you both!

I hope dale and his friend have a lovely thanksgiving together

Late to this thread but I LOVE the whole series!!

They need to make another!

I'm waiting - and that bothers me

r12 is funnier than 90% of current SNL skits

a delight!

New installment!

I love that they both have landlines

"No one destroyed Entenmann's like Roscoe Lee Browne!" 🤣

[...]

[...]

J’ADORE!

Victor Mature ... wasn't.

r165 = Coco Peru

A girl gets bored from time to time

I love them. Did one of them pronounce it Grair not Greer Garson? Is it Grair?

They need to make another one!

I'm getting bored with them

They put out maybe one video per year at this point, how are you getting bored with them, lol?

No mention of the Golden Girls ...so fake

They’re perfect for each other and I’m angling for an invitation to their next parties.

I just noticed this guy in on cameo. I’m actually tempted to ask for something in the character from this video.

Yentl should’ve been Joan Van Ark!

They were recently on the animated show Housebroken as a pair of gossipy birds doing a modified version of the Two Old Queens shtick.
