{{tropelist}}
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: so many of these, including the Lawrence Welk sketch ("Stop with-a the bubbles!"); "St. George and the Dragonet" parody of [[Dragnet]]; a film noir parody, which has a femme fatale and no plot, just a private eye getting knocked unconscious every two minutes; "Bang Gunley: US Marshall Fields", parody of radio westerns like [[Gunsmoke]] & [[Tales Of The Texas Rangers]]; "The Lone Analyst", a satirical parody of ''[[The Lone Ranger]]'' and the power of psychoanalysis.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
* [[Doom It Yourself]]: the build-it-yourself piano
* [[History Marches On]]: History is [[Deconstruction|deconstructed]] humorously in the "Great Moments in History" sketches with "the real stories" behind those moments, including Washington crossing the Delaware & the ride of Paul Revere.
* [[Mickey Mousing]]: As a tourist attraction, a "lover's spat" between [[Elizabeth Taylor]] and Mike Todd is portrayed with trumpets in one short segment.
* [[No Reprise, Please]]: In the Lawrence Welk sketch, the song "Thank You For All Those Cards and Letters..."
* [[Parody Commercial]]: "Puffed Grass" ("Bang Gunleigh, U.S. Marshal Field"); "Food" ("Gray Flannel Hat Full of Teenage Werewolves"); "Stan Freberg" (the second-to-last episode).
