Review: Jonathan Winters is Terminator 3

Jonathan Winters is Terminator 3 by Jonathan Winters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You can picture Jonathan Winters at home with an old tape recorder, thinking up a bit, then hitting record and riffing on some odd premise. Here, all his bits are a minute or two, and are as if he left a message on an answering machine. All were different characters, a few impersonations of famous people, but mostly just really odd prank calls. For example, one is of a phone company employee named Bell (who goes on about his name for some time) leaving a message telling the receiver that he doesn't make enough outbound calls, so the phone company can't make any money, so they're cancelling phone service. Winters humor is often in the explaining...

It's only 50 minutes, so quite a nice change of pace, funny as odd.
