What a flimsy building!

The following scene cracks me up too. When I first saw the movie as a little kid, I didn't think the scene was funny and I didn't understand why my older brothers were laughing so hard.

By the way, unlike the "hippie" scene, Jonathan Winters made me laugh hysterically when I saw "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" as a little kid... and he still did when I watched that movie again as an adult!

He's from Ohio, not far from where I grew up, and his impersonations of the "redneck" types around here were always right on the money! He mocked them, but he also portrayed them as smarter than they sounded sometimes.

Here's some of an old 60 Minutes interview of Winters:

Maybe there's an indictment in Herr Trumpenfuehrer's future?

Where's Eliot Ness when you need him?
