Randomly found this 80s Congo Bongo commerical featuring a Henny Youngman soundalike(?) telling non-jokes about the game to canned laughter. I totally remember this from back in the day, when isometric graphics mesmerized me. What mesmerizes me now is how anyone, even back in the 80s, could think that Henny Youngman would be a great way to sell video games.

Hey!! Don't knock Henny Youngman!!

I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?"

She said, "Somewhere I have never been!"

I told her, "How about the kitchen?"

I´m not sure if it had worked with Henny Youngman but surely had a reason...
