So I'm listening to my B&R stuff the other night, one of the skit collections that I hadn't got around to yet because it's an hour long and won't play on my iPod**, and ran across what is very possibly the single cutest moment in the history of comedy: Ray interviews a 'bunny exterminator', that is to say Bob...

...doing a pitch-perfect Elmer Fudd. (Here named Robin Pickett, presumably because copyright lawyers don't find this sort of thing funny.)

And I do mean perfect; an offhand salute from one of the great anarchistic spirits of comedy to another. I think that's just swell. Especially bearing in mind that this is the early '50's, when the reference - to what was then generally thought of as adult entertainment - would've been still hip and current:

Funnie stuff under the cut... )
