Classic American art. Shtick, the great burlesque tradition. In Japan they'd be designated Living National Treasures.

at close to its absolute best like this, it's easy to call this the best sitcom ever and certainly the best ensemble acted one. On a side note, notice how one of the platoon who in this episode gets to stay together with his pals in the plushest Florida Motel is black, never speaks but at least he's there as part of the cast. You wouldn't have seen that in too many American shows in the late '50s.
