I’m sorry to be blunt, but Red Skelton did a lot of risqué material. He was restricted by morality laws of broadcast/film. He was a vaudvillian and was exposed to and used to a lot of uncleanness. When he got older, maybe he realized the error of his way, but that error got him his success.
I speak from a level of knowledge. He is one of the key people I studied when learning standup. Milton Burle, George Burns, and Bobby Slayton were among the others I studied.

I’ve been watching a lot of Vitaphone shorts of Vaudeville performers in the ‘20s, and some of their material would surprise you.
I’m still shocked that Eddie Cantor got away with “Whoopee”.
