| Exceptions might be Van Dyke’s eccentric dancing in “The Twizzle,” which is funny sheerly because his body seems to be boneless and moves in unexpected ways (the unexpected as a fundamental criteria of “funny”), or similarly Mel Cooley’s (Richard Deacon’s) dance in the same number, which is funny because people do not normally expect such a big man—and one seen narratively as a “stick in the mud”—to be such a good dancer. Another example would be the “I Am a Fine Musician” number (the only number ever repeated on the show), which is funny because of its own internal narrative. |
