One skit of Skelton that I vividly remember is when he did his Deadeye Dick routine. He struts into a bar, orders a shot of redeye, and gulps it down.
He spent the next minute or two collapsing and rolling about on the floor, stumbling over tables and bouncing off the walls. Finally he calms down and tells the barkeep, “This drink’s been cut!”
Clem Kadiddlehopper always a favorite.
Red had so many characters half are long forgotten.
