jocund: cheerful and lighthearted.
These are from Pooja here and here.

These are from Bonnywood here.

discombobulate: disconcert or confuse (someone).

    1. Wow, he is funny, isn’t him? I’ve never heard of him. LOL. I wonder if he has prepared for this or this is just impromptu. It can be very hard to come up with little remarks like that on spot. Nowadays, doing this may cause one to spit out politically incorrect lines. LOL.

      1. Lord Buckley has a special sense of humor. Unfortunately, he has been forgotten as time went by. Groucho Marx (the man with the mustache) is still loved. I don’t think he would mind saying anything politically incorrect.
