Comedy Props Discussion

ON an episode of Magnum PI his rubber chicken was beheaded and used white tape to put the head back on from then on you always saw the chicken with the tape
I know it's not comedy but it's a rubber chicken

I vote for Duckmans certificate. I miss that show

Some of the footage is a little inaapropriate. Put the kiddies away.

I wouldn't mind having it though. Someone discussed about making it here once.

I've been thinking about replicating the "love insurance" policy from Abbott and Costello's "One night in the tropics." And the Will from "Hold that Ghost."

I loved Hold That Ghost — especially the candlestick scene :lol

Here's another: SNL's Apple Newton parody Sticky-Note pad.

I wonder if a table could be set up with a track underneath to move a replica candlestick...

It wouldn't be very hard to make a hollow table and use magnets to cause the candlestick to move.

And as for the rubber chicken, it's such an absurd item that it almost always gets a laugh when you pull one out. Especially if the audience isn't expecting it. I've used one for years in my magic acts and it's not failed me yet.

The giant phone from Top Secret

Great movie.

How about the Anal Intruder? :lol

At least the box might be doable if you don't want to scare everyone when they see it.

Anybody got a screencap?

LOL Top Secret props rule.

You guys probably already have a comedy prop without you even knowing it..

Have you got 3M Sandpaper?

If so, you have a comedy prop from the film, "Envy" starring Jack Black and Ben Stiller..

I know what you're thinking now... Do I use it to sand my next project or frame it?.
