Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” Chinese yo-yoing and Looney Tunes cartoons turned a recent Saturday afternoon daffy at one Pembroke Pines library.

That’s because a performance troupe of nearly two-dozen teen library volunteers brought the silly during the fifth annual Slapstick Sillies Vaudeville Show. The comical showcase ran the gamut between physical fall-down humor during original sketches to a dance-off featuring the tunes of the late King of Pop.

The vaudeville program is part of the Southwest Regional Library’s end-of-summer children’s programming designed to introduce younger generations to comedic traditions that existed nearly a century ago, said event coordinator Debra Helmliner.

“We wanted this to resemble the old vaudeville acts from silent films like Charlie Chaplin,” said Helmlinger. “It’s all to show what life and entertainment was like before video games and TV and X-Box.”

Activities ranged from a 60-minute stage performance by the teen volunteers, which included juggling, sketches involving a black box and spin-offs of “The Dating Game” to children huddling around the projector munching on free popcorn during a screening of Looney Tunes cartoons.
