Posted: 6/17/11 at 1:23pmThe Iceman Cometh is an odd name for a play. Yet, that was the name.

Imagine a man made of ice.
Next imagine that ice man coming.
Next, imagine that he comes in Old English.

The joke really IS self-explanatory. I don't know how else to explain it to you. There's nothing to "get", there's no inside reference- The Iceman Cometh is a funny title for a play.
The joke doesn't even land very many laughs. It's a throwaway line.

Posted: 6/17/11 at 1:38pmWould you look at your thread title? It doesn't even make sense. The only thing missing to make it more representative of the problems with communication today is the word "literally."

He cold have said anything really I guess.....
there are a lot of crazy named shows.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Posted: 6/17/11 at 1:45pmNo, the joke really is supposed to be it's a funny title. Mel Brooks originally wanted to use the much lesser-known Under the Yum-Yum Tree, but was talked out of it.
