I have never found Barny Fife funny. I went through my time of watching The Andy Griffith Show like the rest of you. Barny was like Lucy or the Three Stooges to me. He was so sad I could not get into his humor.
I think I identify with him too much. He replaced his insecurity with a false macho strut. He never learned from his mistakes. He was gullible at the wrong times. He was totally self centered. He never noticed that he was being patted on the head.
I wonder if that makes me a liberal. Liberals don’t seem to have much of a sense of humor.
I hope not.
