The other day, a clip popped up in my youtube feed. It's Fran and CC at the sushi restaurant where Fran loads up her first bite with a ton of wasabi. Her reactions after eating it and the fact that CC continues the conversation as if nothing is wrong is a pure Lucille Ball bit. It is done so well. Fantastic timing and the audience reaction. Then when she starts using her natural voice as the punchline? Classic.

I know it. Sorry for the misunderstanding. My comment was a reference to Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. In the movie, the joke was that Al wanted to ditch his parodies in favor of writing original music and that "Eat It" was an original song that MJ parodied with "Beat It". It's a great joke because everyone who's familiar with Al is in on the joke.
