My fav bittu in the movie was
Vivek: Hey, intha dressle naan ambala matiri irukkana, illa pombalai mari irukkana
Heroine: Rendum kalantha matiri irukku
Vivek: Athan 9 manikku vanthen

A.Veerappan used to write for the Goundamani-Senthil pair during their hey-dey. Think some village film with 5-6 scenes for the pair and each scene having some sequence of events/joke etc. Later he operated with a team too.
What makes GM stand apart is not the jokes/engineered sequences etc. but his trademark dismissive style that permeates across all films (oru kuchchiyila Ottai pOttu mooNu maNi nEraMA oodhikkittu irukkaan andha bulp-u thalaiyan)
and unbelievable timing (enna da vEt I say).
And of course the signature extension-of-logic-to-absurd-proportions Oh appO sOru kEttA arisi-yum sudu thaNNiyum kuduppeengaLA...ennanga daa unga five star hotel ?
As I have said numerous times: GM just does not require a line to make things funny. It is just his personality that makes the difference.
I don't buy the defence that GM was not in a position to 'choose' what he wanted to do. His market position was such that, if he wanted he could have avoided vulgar comedy.
But GM's comedy was all about pushing the envelope. The 'irreverence' itself would horrify a lot of people. Absolutely no respect for age, no chivalry, no respect for existing customs, no veneration of verbal comedy at the expense of slapstick (though he is excellent in both). It is in the same sense that he did not check himself when it came to vulgar comedy.
What shall we say: absolutely socially irresponsible.
He never made any claims of being socially responsible either :P

I shall summarily ignore the argument thaat Vivek is not vulgar or not as vulgar. The argument is certainly funnier than Vivek nowadays.
GM's genius remains vastly under appreciated. Of course he had a long and successful career. But that's not what I meant. His style and originality are unprecedented in the history of film. That has not been underlined enough. Laurel & Hardy are vastly overrated compared to Goundamani and Senthil.
As I type this a whole bunch GM scenes come rushing to mind and I can't stop smiling even as I think of them (no-one has come even remotely close).
Agree that women don't like GM (can't help thinking of GM's hey ladiessss ladiessss). You hear the same old complaint which smacks of superficiality: "he is loud,crass..blah blah blah". I will resist the temptation to go into a tangent on female psychology, sense-of-humour etc. (that will be suicidal to my evangelical mission :P !).
Personal experience: I have got many of my female relatives and friends to get past this initial reluctance to get to see his slightly more 'gentle' verbal humour: like Satyaraj combinations.
My rating scale: Vadivelu>Nagesh>Manivannan-Vivek
