This kind of applies - From _ **Real Genius** _: Mitch Taylor: Did you know there’s a guy living in our closet? Chris Knight: You’ve seen him too? Mitch Taylor: Who is he? Chris Knight: Hollyfeld. Mitch Taylor: Why does he keep going into our closet? Chris Knight: Why do you keep going into our closet? Mitch Taylor: To get my clothes - but that’s not why he goes in there!

An Animaniacs cartoon (Aunt Slappy and her nephew. I can’t remember his name, but he said “Spew!” a lot) did a take-off on the “Whose on first” skit, only with rock bands. Something like: Whose playing first? The Band Who? No, The Band. . . Does anybody remember how this goes? ---

Who’s playing first? The Who. No, who’s performing first? The Who. What the name of the first band? Who? (continuing in the same vein) Alright, who’s playing second? No, The band’s playing first. What’s the band playing next? Ask them. (continuing in the same vein) Who’s the third band? No, Guess Who? (continuing in the same vein) Several variations, but I can’t remember them all. ---
