{{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.
* [[Amusing Alien]]: Miss Jupiter. She's only two feet tall.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* [[Sketch Comedy]]
* [[Soap Within a Show]]: John/Marsha routine; also [[Say My Name]].
* [[Translation: "Yes"]]: Mousier Touler (and his Tuned Sheep) has a couple of "French" phrases, just a few syllables long, that are translated in English as long run-on sentences.
