The tall guy, I don’t know if it was Roger or Roger, would do the Edith part of an All in the Family routine. Seemed funny at the time.

The [Two Ronnies](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CmaLgxLDE0) Four Candles sketch is a bit like WoF.

Abbott and Costello rank up there with the classic comedians and groups of their generation: The Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges, Martin & Lewis, W.C. Fields, Our Gang etc. It’s hard to compare them to even other comedy greats of following generations, much less the current generation.
