HOVER-TEXT: True story: The original punchline to this strip was a Lawrence Welk joke and then I realized maybe 20% would get it and then I felt older than one of Davy Crockett’s turds. Also, Davy Crockett turds is my western/punk cover band.
Davy Crockett is a famous American Frontiersman, US Senator (really!), and died in the battle of the Alamo. Later he became famous again with a popular folk song about him and a Disney TV show.
And Seth Parker? as Davey Crockett… If I remember it correctly. (nope I Googled it…Fess Parker) man that was a long time ago. It’s weird how those old TV show themes stick with ya’.
OMG! I remember Robin Williams’ bit about Lawrence Welk from one of his albums (Live at the Met?):
“Tank you boyse, dat was a bitchin’ boss soul. Now, we-a gonna listen to-a de lov-e-ly Lemmon Sisters singin’ “I can’t-a get no a sa-tis-fac-tion.” “

I feel the appropriate response is “Lawrence Welk? Who the heck is that?”, even if I really do know.
Come on…for those of us old enough to remember (and, well, maybe, have watched ) Lawrence Welk, what was the joke?
It’s about him getting jiggy with his accordion….
Who is Lawrence Welk?
… *flips table!* … *storms out!*
#oldlikeme
Who is Davy Crockett?
Not sure if a Yank or just yanking.
All I know is he “killed him a bar, when he was only 3” so I’m guessing he was an alcoholic
Hah! I still have a Crockett hat.

Knowledgeable this one is. Pleased I am.
In which TV show Davy Crockett’s faithful sidekick was played by Buddy Ebsen, better known to most of us as Jed Clampett.
And Seth Parker? as Davey Crockett… If I remember it correctly. (nope I Googled it…Fess Parker) man that was a long time ago. It’s weird how those old TV show themes stick with ya’.
OK, I officially feel old now….. Throw the sod over me and get it over with…….
….and a one, and a two….
Where are the bubbles!!! LOL!!!

I knew L Welk, but only because my family is from Minnesota. It was like a joke, “holy crap LW’s on!!!”
I know about Davy Crockett. I know nothing about Lawrence Welk 🙁
An accordionist?
My favorite LW quote (which I may have totally fabricated):
“Play dat-a funky music white-a boy.”
Slightly fabricated, but I can actually hear him say that…or maybe Robin Williams a la Good Morning Vietnam as LW

Ok…so what was the Lawrence Welk punchline?
Maybe it’s indicative of your demographic, but some of us watched the LW Hour EVERY Saturday night.
The silhouette totally looks like a Wookie.
