Lenny Bruce was plenty funny, just really really dated. I think, also, you have to have the patience to endure his really really long wind-ups. Which, in my eyes, are a beautiful construction of themselves.

This is one of his most accessible bits, Don't tell me this isn't a tad bit clever, especially for the early 60s when it came out:

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
