  • Crowning Moment of Funny: One commentator has analyzed which moments got the longest laughs from the studio audience.
  • Fair for Its Day: The portrayal of Rochester.
  • Tastes Like Diabetes: In an elaborate example of Jack's numerous Take Thats, after reading a radio critic lamenting about how comedy of the day relied too heavily on insults, Jack invited said critic to his show (which was being broadcasted in Palm Springs that day), and showed him just how awful comedy would be if there no insults.
