Dark Shadows' Dynamic Duo of Comedy, Redux!

[Bob_the_Bartender]

Hey, gang,

I believe that I posted this thread about a million years ago on the Dark Shadows Forums (actually, perhaps ten years ago), and since DS fans are currently discussing the Adam storyline, I thought that it might be fun to reprise it:

Throughout the 20th century and beyond, Americans have enjoyed outstanding, and I venture to say, legendary comedy teams, such as Laurel & Hardy, Hope & Crosby, Abbott & Costello, and Nichols & May to name but a few.

Today, a bright new duo enters this pantheon of comedy team greats.  Of course, I am referring to Collinsport's two favorite sons, those new Kings of Comedy:

Lang & Clark!!!

Yes, Eric Lang, master of the malaprop, the non sequitur, and proud possessor of that winsomely crooked smile, a great straight man in the tradition of the-one-and-only Mr. Bud Abbott!   

And the younger half of this sensational new team, the irrepressible Jeff Clark, whose skillfull use of the pratfall and the phony limb; and whose unparalleled utilization of humorous histrionics make him a comedic talent to reckoned with for years to come.

So, be forewarned dear viewer, for you will soon be exposed (or possibly even subjected) to almost unrelenting, side-splitting zaniness.  Understandably, the residents of Collinsport are extremely proud of their two local boys who have made good.  Think of them as Collinsport's answer to Cheech & Chong!

I therefore submit for your consideration, and obvious enjoyment, Dr. Eric Lang and Mr. Jeff Clark, these masters of mirth and mayhem.  Let the laughter begin!!!

Lang and Clark!  I'm seeing shades of the Skipper and Gilligan.

Come sit right back you you'll hear a tale, At tale of a spooky house,
With a crazed doctor doing an experiment, With help of an annoying mouse...

A Lang & Clark and the Skipper & Gilligan parallel, that IS truly inspired!!!

No doubt, Dark Shadows' late, great limerick practitioner, Mr. Dennis Patrick, would have wholeheartedly approved of your witty parody of the theme song of the crew of the Minnow!

However, on a "serious" note, aren't you insulting the Skipper and his "little buddy" by comparing them with the likes of Dark Shadows' own "Dr. Vinnie Boombotz" and the good doctor's "laconic" lab assistant, "Ed Grimley"?
