I wonder who these guys were, and what this was for. It has shades of old vaudeville routines.

Call me crazy, but I never used a planer or a bubble level at my desk job.

Nothing would beat Ernie Anderson’s “Ghoulardi” antics. He actually blew up a tv studio. Part of his shtick was blowing up items fans sent in to the show. On this particular time the explosive was a a bit larger then is should have been… It blew out the window to the sound booth and set the studio on fire. Tim Conway and Chuck Schodowski were running around trying to put out the fires, all the while thinking their careers were over

This looks like the summer camp skit gag where actions such as this were backlit against a white sheet (which they have here). It’s funnier in silhouette, the way it’s meant to be.

And Tim Conway would be doing it as his Old Man character.

I thought it was plane to see a surgeon shouldn’t be smoking while straddling a patient.
