Carol Burnett Tarzan yell.

Really amounted to nothing more than chest beating. It's been a white male thing ever since Tarzan.

Not a monkey joke, that wouldn't get a laugh from anyone. there is a racial stereotype that black people don't swim. Perpetuated even by black comedians. It's not considered the most offensive stereotype. More playful than serious, like, "white people put mayonnaise on everything."

And if you watched the old black and white Tarzan films, he had only two modes of locomotion, 'swing on vine' and 'swim'.

Ok, I thought he said swim, but it didn't make sense to me in the Tarzan context.

Like I said, I don't find racist "humour" funny, so I really don't keep up on the stereotypes.

You didn't jokingly say this so I'll assume you're serious. The racial stereotype is that black men don't swim.

And FYI Wayne Brady, Elmo Lincoln was the first movie Tarzan in 1918.

Tarzan's skit, before it, was funny too.

Soooo..., Tonto, Frankenstein's Monster & Tarzan.

Nice find I used to love swimming in the ponds and streams on our farm and friends farms, nothing like swimming in fresh, unchlorinated water. The best thing is when they are large enough so that you can tie a rope to a nearby tree and swing into them like tarzan

The dog's name is Tarzan. This, I love.

*promote It makes me wish that Tonto, Tarzan and Frankenstein did a version. That would have been AWESOME!

Hey Bob, Supes had a straight job. Even though he could have smashed through any bank in the United States. He had the strength but he would not.

Sometimes, when Supes was stopping crimes, I'll bet he was tempted to turn his back on men, join Tarzan in the forest. But he stayed in the city, kept on changing clothes in dirty old phone booths 'til his work was through. Had nothing to do but go on home..

I am going to let the 1950s Tarzan speak for me (I can't yell like that)....:)
