Technically, the joke at 0:32 is as American as can be: Wurlitzer was an American company making musical instruments, most famously organs and jukeboxes; Xerox is an American company known for photocopiers and printers (image reproduction). Hence the pun: Wurlitzer + Xerox = 'reproductive organs'.

@@SimplySavageReactions You will also like "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime Minister" series too along with the 'Blackadder' and "Allo Allo" series. British comedy is well known, so many to choose from the past, but sadly not in today's time.
Some Benny Hill skits to check out. Benny Hill, Heroes Through the Ages. Benny Hill, World of Sport. Benny Hill, Name That Tune. Benny Hill, Cruise on the S.S. Rumpo.

a piccadillo is a spicy Latin-American hash or stew of meat and vegetables often with raisins and olives that is commonly used as a filling (as for tacos) or served with rice and beans.
If you want to be in fits of laughter (including mum) i highly recommend you watch these to British comedians. Freddie Starr and Lee Evans you'll not be disappointed i promise.
I`m English - and I didn`t get that joke in the NYT either. Benny Hill was actually quite the Genius when it comes to British Comedy, and he wasn`t a bad lyricist either, if he wrote his commedy sketch songs himself. Earlier today I watched another video from a US `Vlogger ?` I never thought about it before but over here we have places to stay called "Bed and Breakfasts." B&B`s - which are, on the whole, significantly less expensive than staying in hotels, whilst at the same time offering at least as much warmth and comfort, as well as a full - English breakfast after the good night`s sleep. Perhaps James could plan his trip over here by booking into B&B`s - especially if he plans to here a car whilst here. You can find B&B`s in all towns and cities ( and probably most villages ) here - as well as out in the countryside and amongst farms.
Something you should look into is the Carry On Films Carry On is a British comedy franchise comprising thirty-one films, four Christmas specials, a television series, and stage shows produced between 1958 and 1992. Produced by Peter Rogers, the Carry On films were directed by Gerald Thomas and starred a regular ensemble that included Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Kenneth Connor, Peter Butterworth, Hattie Jacques, Terry Scott, Bernard Bresslaw, Barbara Windsor, Jack Douglas, and Jim Dale. The humour of Carry On was in the British comic tradition of music hall and bawdy seaside postcards. The success of the series led to several spin-offs, including four Christmas television specials (1969-1973), a 1975 television series of thirteen episodes, and three West End stage shows that also toured the United Kingdom.
The headline on the paper kills me every time... Xerox - famous for copiers Wurlitzer - one of the better company making organs... This was a play on words... Xerox and Wurlitzer merge Object Reproductive Organs...
seriously does, or can anyone check on someone who has vanished without explanation. an active online person does not randomly stop. it say 7.9 subscribers and no one else is thinking ?
Do a little research. . .Benny Hill was one of the most famous British comedians. This is a "skit" from his "British" TV show. And yes, he's doing a parody of an American couple. Yikes, why is that so confusing?
The lady who played Henry's wife was the wonderful Kathy Staff a very popular actress hence the applause when she made her appearance
It always makes me laugh when I hear Nora Batty say “get off my step! You’re weird!”
Nearly in full Nora Batty gear...minus the yard brush... Those wrinkled stockings should be in the TV hall of Fame...
And Benny's wife (Helen Horton) was the voice for Mother, the ship computer on the movie ALIEN.
I loved Benny Hill so much. Watched him all the time as a kid. He was hilarious

What's not to get? Surely, those two companies weren't unheard of in the UK at that time?
Try on the buses you'll love it

Benn made many funny shows.
The headline on the paper kills me every time...
Xerox - famous for copiers
Wurlitzer - one of the better company making organs... This was a play on words...
Xerox and Wurlitzer merge
Object
Reproductive Organs...
Man Benny Hill is old school.. Should watch the Kevin and Perry skits for pure British 90s parody
Kevin and Perry was 💩.
they couldn't hold a candle to Benny , they nicked nearly all his material
More comedy.
I think he's taking the pee out of Archie Bunker, which is similar to Till Death Do Us Part with Warren Mitchell
peccadilloes = eccentricities
Hi dear, Are you looking for professional thumbnail designer?
Love and marriage. Al bundy was influenced by this character. 2 years later the sitcom was released.
