* SpittingImage: Done in a sketch where RodSteiger and MarlonBrando mimick their famous scene from OnTheWaterfront. Steiger complains how he never became a big star like Brando. Brando starts talking to Steiger, but takes a very long time to end his sentence. Finally it turns out that he scolds Steiger because "you... never... never, never... knew ... how... to make one sentence last... for minutes."
