Hack Lines: A joke that has been frequently used by comedians or Magicians in the past, (Including the both of us!!!) and is blatantly stolen from its original author. Short for"hackneyed" meaning over used, cheapened, or trite. (This definition was blatantly stolen from Wikipedia)
These lines were & are really funny when used by the people who invented them & entertainers who make them their own. Many of these lines were originated by great performers like:
Walter Blaney http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YACRdgj_A_M
Michael Finney http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YiOVubj-wg
We both love watching great performers use these lines in superb ways to delight their audiences. We just don't like it when some insert them into their shows without the work to make them their own.
