The one sketch that always cracks me up is the Nazi interrogator with his repertoire of techniques.
You probably know it...if not, watch it now!
Heh, that's good stuff. Poor Lyle Waggoner was really outclassed by the talent around him... he basically ended up being a warm body for most of the sketches. He seems like a super-nice guy, though.
Also, pretty much any sketch where Tim played the slow old man character was a winner for me.
The real payoff, of course, is the puppet. But I didn't want to ruin it. There are some clips that include just the puppet, but it is much funnier seeing the sketch build up to that point.
All of the gags in that sketch are pretty generic, except for the puppet. But, it doesn't matter how cliched the gags are, the performances make it enjoyable.
Speaking of performances....I know, Lyle is barely present in that sketch.
...
Yes, Tim did crazy physical humor. The old man defied the laws of physics. Crazy.
...
One thing I didn't know was that the show taped a "regular" version of a sketch and then, later, taped a freer "ad-lib, if you want to" version. Conway, it seems, made it his personal goal to get the other folks to laugh.
