Just had to mention the classic Abbott and Costello routine where Lou is a hat salesman with a box full of straw hats. It's hilarious! Here's a synopsis...(I can't find a script link, if I do I'll edit it in):
Fleugal street
Changed to "Susquehanna street" for 'In Society', this is a classic routine that was written by Billy K. Wells in 1918. Lou has to deliver some hats to a hat company for a friend but doesn't know where the road is so he has to stop people and ask them. All the people turn out to be loonies. He tries a hat on and each time he encounters a loony, they break it and Abbott tallies up the cost as they go along. Crazy routine this one, suited to the TV show more than the film. Enjoyable and memorable none the less.
At the end, Lou winds up just breaking all the hats himself.
