Thanx, Chris, for sharing this little gem! RIP, Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, Red Skelton, and thank you, dear gentlemen, and lovely Julie Newmar, for the magic and memories.
To answer the original question: no, I don't love it when "someone in a comedy sketch like this" has trouble keeping a straight face. At best it's unprofessional and at worst it's pandering of a most desperate nature. However, there are some who have earned the right to "lose it" on occasion (present company included) and even a few, like the cast of The Carol Burnett Show, who have all but made it their trademark. As far as the rest -- save it for the blooper reel, Chuckles.
The man playing the General, James Millhollin, also appeared in an episode of My Living Doll - "Something Borrowed, Something Blew", with another female robot, Julie Newmar.
I've also seen him as the "criminal attourney" in the Liberace episode of BATMAN; and, as "Willoughby" in the LOST IN SPACE episode with the giant talking carrot.

Wow. I guess I never really experienced any of the later Red Skelton shows, as I had no idea that anyone outside of Wayne & Shuster did that sort of epic-length comedy sketch back in the day. Clem's frequent taunting of the censors added a nice bit of spice to the mix as well -- I mean, we always knew that Red "dood it" but it sounds like he'd be happy to do it right there in front of us if standards & practices was to look the other way for long enough!
Considering the stick and health problems, Uncle Boris seemed sprightly in the KILL KILL gag, gotta love him.
Karloff is one of my favorite stars.
Check out the poor mans hands. He had severe RA, which is extremely painful. God bless him.
Ha! The best joke got zero laughs:
“Besides, we’re not even married, how could I hate her!”
Fifty years ago I used to watch this show. I was 92 then. My hair isi even grey yet. 😊

Don't you love it when someone in a comedy sketch like this has trouble keeping a straight face?
Both Red and Vincent were famous for plotzing in the middle of comedy routines.
That girl had to try hard to not break character
