Let’s share some fun moments of classic comedy. I’ll start with these hilarious bits from Mantan Moreland and Ben Carter’s Vaudeville act put into some Charlie Chan films. It’s too bad these are rarely seen due to the (justifiable IMO) modern world finding those movies kind of offensive, because these two are incredibly talented and have some great comic timing!
Another classic comedy routine I love is Jack Benny in the supermarket encountering a free sample.
And finally, here’s Sid Caesar as a German general getting dressed in his uniform by his butler.
Feel free to post newer stuff too, I just enjoy classic comedy.

Mitchell and Webb’s hilarious crime-fighting duo sketch…
for an older one, Abbott & Costello Meet the Creature From the Black Lagoon - makes me laugh because Lou makes Bud break character at one point, and then he cracks up too (did Lou improvise that Emmy line?)

The Riders In The Sky radio show had a running gag about a gun with a similar premise to kitchen gun. They have it in podcast form now if anyone wants to dig for the episodes that mention it.

Mr. Show: Blow Up The Moon.
Mr. Show: 24 is the highest number

And to get back to the original premise of the thread, the whole Jack Benny episode where he’s shopping for Christmas, and drives Mel Blanc’s character to shoot himself.
