What's FUNNY is when the doctor comes out and catches the receptionist goofing off at work. So, everybody gets all tense for a brief second, but when the doctor starts goofing off with the stethoscope, everyone loosens up again.
In this day and age, if the receptionist puts the phone under her desk to do something funny, the calls go to voicemail. But this stuff is from the 70s, so she'd better answer the phone!
By the way, thank you for uploading the "Funny (the sketch)" on The Electric Company. I liked it a lot where the three patients (played by Luis Avalos, Skip Hinnart, and Judy Graubart) was waiting for the doctor while they were having fun with the nurse (Played by Hattie Winston) and the doctor's office. That was a good one. Thanks.

That shirt and tie that Morgan wore was more tragic than funny.

If there was ever evidence that the writers were high while writing the show, this sketch is it.

I'd call this more silly than just funny, but what's the diff?

Raposo didn't use tape to do that. They played that LIVE.
