Yes, Ernie LOVED reading the "Mad" comic book and magazine (he used to bring copies of it to read at New York's Stork Club), and contributed several articles to it between 1956 and '58. Hence, his fondness for that kind of "jugular vein" humor......
Yeah, Ernie Kovacs was amazing. Some of the stuff, like this skit, was straight ahead comedy with a visual "punch line," but other stuff was just Ernie playing with television - and playing with the heads of the Ward and June Cleavers watching at home.
You can't imagine how darkly funny this is if you're not from Wisconsin.

Ernie Kovacs was a genius in comedy who left this world way too soon

This beats a discussion on exponential and logarithmic derivation; but if it means risking your life, think if over.

Reminiscent of what a live-action 1950's Mad magazine might look like.

The Limberg kidnapping was funnier than Satuday night live. But your right this is funnier.
