Police Squad! was just genius IMHO and doesn't get enough mention, over shadowed by the films which didn't work as well. The "who shot twice" bit is peak word play.
Talking of classic comedies, I watched the Monty Python films with my sons recently and was delighted by how much they enjoyed them. I thought a lot of the jokes would go over their heads, but even the 9 year old was captivated. His favourite was the bit in Life of Brian where a seemingly endless trail of soldiers bustle into a tiny house; fail to find the ridiculously badly hidden rebels; bustle out again; come back because there was somewhere they forgot to search, but still didn’t find them 😂 I frequently quote from Holy grail (‘It’s only a flesh wound!’ …) and love that they get the references. It’s interesting that yours liked Wayne’s World: I have both films on DVD but assumed it’d be over their heads. Will add it to the list to share together.
