Yeah, this is a classic.

Red Skelton was one of the guilty pleasures of my childhood.

I watched him religiously in the late 60's and early 70's.

One of my favorite routines was his portrayal of two mentally retarded seagulls, Gertrude and Heathcliffe.

Probably couldn't get away with that today.

Speech is not indicative of mental retardation in seagulls.
