Summary
In The Red Skelton Scrapbook 66, Red Skelton reprises several of his most beloved routines, including 'Dunking Doughnuts'. The second annual Red Skeltop Scrapbook is hosted by Red's friend John Wayne. And Red teases his friend with jokes about Duke, and how they first met.
Opening monologue
Stork: What I'm nervous about is flying over those senior citizen villages. They put up anti-aircraft guns!
A series of jokes on hospitals, hospital gowns, and doctors
The Silent Spot - The Elopement
Red plays the part of a bachelor in the 1890's courting his lady love (Chanin Hale), But her father doesn't approve. It's frankly hilarious!
Wonderful slapstick humor, where he keeps running afoul of the father, a chubby neighbor (Peggy Rea), the local police ...
The Quick Blackout comedy
For those who don't know, in vaudeville, very short comedy bits, normally 1 minute long, were called "quick blackouts". These include:
The elephant gun.
Red plays a man at a bar, having "one for the road".
Red Skelton plays Thomas Alva Edison, trying to perfect his great invention.
A short, but hilarious bit, as a kettledrum player.
A brilliant mathematician. "What a brain, what a brain!"
Take one spoonful in water.
Spectre of the Rose
Red Skelton spoofs the ballet. Spectre of the Rose, with Roberta Lubbell. It's equal parts touching and hilarious, as Mr. Skelton plays the
spirit of her lost love. With a bad case of allergies!
Dunking Doughnuts
Red Skelton has done the Dunking Doughnuts routine many times, in vaudeville, on screen, and on his television show.
Red and John Wayne on stage
John Wayne gives Red Skelton tips on how to court a beautiful girl, Western style. With the help of the lovely Chanin Hale.
Upside Down Room
One of Red's classic - and expensive to produce - routines. The perpetually inebriated Willie Lump-Lump's wife (Chanin Hale) has
decided to teach him a lesson. She's hired someone (Ray Kellogg) to modify a room. So, it looks like Willie's sleeping on the wall! And
everything is 90 degrees off! There's a reason that Red included this in his movie, The Clown.
