The Bob Hope Show
1952
Bob: How old are you, Natalie? Natalie: 18. Bob: 18. It's hard to believe I'm almost twice your age! (audience laugh) Three times? Four? Let's not get nasty, huh!
(During an "I Love Lucy" skit, Lucy has smothered Ricky with kisses) Ricky: The last time you kissed me like that, you wrecked the car, the insurance company cancelled my insurance on everything, and you did my laundry in the whiring mixer!
('Ricky' throws his hat into the wardrobe, only for the sea lion Lucy has hidden inside to throw the hat back out) Lucy: Oh, close the door! I'm fumigating - we got termites! Ricky: Yeah, one of 'em must pitch for Cleveland!
Ricky: Why are you fumigating the place? That's the landlord's job! Lucy: Well, Fred and Ethel are away. I'd just thought I'd help. Ricky: Oh, you're always helping, like when we went on our honeymoon. You thought we'd be lonesome, so you invited your mother to come along! Lucy: Well, I was just trying to help! Ricky: Who were you helping, your father?
Ricky: (picking up a herring from a plate on the table) What is this? What are these Texas anchovies doing here? Lucy: That's my first dividend. I joined a herring of the month club!
Bob: Would you like to have dinner with me tonight? Marilyn: Well, I'd love to, Bob, but I'm not sure I can afford it!
Bob: Would you consider going out with a fella a little older than yourself? Marilyn: Well of course, Bob. Why, do you have a son?
Bob: You know, I can't get over you. Your singing sure has improved. Frank: Really, well, when was the last time you heard me? Bob: At rehersal! Frank: You know, I can't get over you, Bob. The older you get, the funnier you get, and, man, you've grown hilarious!
