In a typical bit, Redd Foxx told Slappy White of the first Negro athletic-scholarship winner at the University of Mississippi -"He's a javelin catcher." White observed that Oct. 27 is a Negro holiday - "That's the day when the new Cadillacs come out."

Linking political and social history to the girls' private affairs also creates momentary strain, since the audience cannot really profit much from learning that the German army has attacked Poland just after good ole Pokey (Mary-Robin Redd) delivers her second set of twins.
