The beloved old cartoon. I want to know one thing.

1. Why is this skit still so funny?

  • You want an answer, raposofan?

    It's funny because either the guy was either thick or he was just yanking the waitress' chain. Everytime she tells him that they're out of sweet rolls, she gets angrier and angrier until finally she couldn't take it anymore and went out screaming like a nut. Priceless, don't you think?

  • Google "rhetorical question".

  • Well, you wanted an answer so I thought I give it to you, even if it is a rhetorical question. It's still funny in my book. And besides, it's the oldest cartoon gag in the book, like the "Animanics" episode when the Warners were atagonizing Miss Flameil by repeating everything she said before she went out the door screaming like a nut. That Electric Company skit must have been an inspiration for that gag. Check it out for yourself!

  • It definitely is the oldest and best gag in the book. I don't think jokes get any better than this - this is classic Vaudeville! Also, I agree with you on Miss Flameil - totally ripped from TEC!
