The Benny Hill Show

I've recently discovered this long running show (I've been sucked into BBC America

) and was wondering if anybody was familiar enough to tell me if he has a signature sketch. For instance, anybody who knows Monty Python's Flying Circus is familiar with the Dead Parrot sketch, or perhaps the Spanish Inquisition...like that.

As far as I can tell from the few episodes I've seen, Benny Hill is big on singing. That's it. ~^_^~

Also lechery, he's big on lechery.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Well, yeah.

And he likes his double entendres.

A frequent joke I've noticed:

-"Why do you keep scratching yourself?"
-"Cos I'm the only one who knows where it itches!"

My favourite part is the fast-motion pantomime towards the end of each show that leads up to everyone chasing after Benny during the credits. Great stuff.
