Comic dialogue.
Cleveland and Dowry, another man and woman team, utilizes the same general technique, but they know how to do it. Their special drop is a cafe, and it has a purpose. When the man comes staggering out of the cafe drop eating a banana, there's a laugh for a start, and instead of letting the laugh die, he sustains it by some clever whimsical comedy, the woman feeding him almost as well as the banana. The girl is attractive. She pronounces persist "presist" and "saloon" "sloon," but nobody notices it, so it matters not.
