I don't know about explicit innuendo, but the funniest one was on a old American TV show Peter Gunn (great Henry Mancini jazz snippets in it as well), where the title character has saved his girlfriend, and she invited him over for a drink and a present. He opens the box, and the camera cuts to a close-up of a little kitten in the box.....

Darn. I tried to see if it was but, I watched this on my laptop and just couldn't tell. I even kept trying to pause it a few times

I believe that was character actor Irving Bacon.

this thread hasn't been posted to in over two months. IS there still interest, or can I remove it as a sticky? Might I suggest a Social Group if it is not already done?
