Benny was just wonderful. When I was a teenager in the late 70's, the U.S. picked up his show for distribution here and it caused quite a reaction. They would play it late night on local UHF Channels (back when we had them) in all the big cities and surrounding areas and we would talk about each episode the next day in school. RIP Benny, you were something else!

This segment 'Wife Swap' was originally titled 'The New York Slob' with aired on April 16, 1986 on UK Thames TV which was Episode #53, Series 17. The late great Benny Hill (1924-1992) was one of the greatest British comedians with his comic varity show 'The Benny Hill Show' of which this aired from 1969 to 1989 as monthly one-hour specials. Fun seeing British Benny Hill playing a New York American slob who gets more than he bargained for with his new neighbors.

Technically, the joke at 0:32 is as American as can be: Wurlitzer was an American company making musical instruments, most famously organs and jukeboxes; Xerox is an American company known for photocopiers and printers (image reproduction). Hence the pun: Wurlitzer + Xerox = 'reproductive organs'.

Benny Hill was a British comedian. He did Burlesque, Double Entendre and Slapstick comedy. The other wife is played by a British actress Kathy Staff. She was best known for playing a character called Nora Batty in an English sitcom called, Last of the Summer Wine. She was a brilliant actress.

I`m English - and I didn`t get that joke in the NYT either. Benny Hill was actually quite the Genius when it comes to British Comedy, and he wasn`t a bad lyricist either, if he wrote his commedy sketch songs himself. Earlier today I watched another video from a US `Vlogger ?` I never thought about it before but over here we have places to stay called "Bed and Breakfasts." B&B`s - which are, on the whole, significantly less expensive than staying in hotels, whilst at the same time offering at least as much warmth and comfort, as well as a full - English breakfast after the good night`s sleep. Perhaps James could plan his trip over here by booking into B&B`s - especially if he plans to here a car whilst here. You can find B&B`s in all towns and cities ( and probably most villages ) here - as well as out in the countryside and amongst farms.

Something you should look into is the Carry On Films Carry On is a British comedy franchise comprising thirty-one films, four Christmas specials, a television series, and stage shows produced between 1958 and 1992. Produced by Peter Rogers, the Carry On films were directed by Gerald Thomas and starred a regular ensemble that included Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Kenneth Connor, Peter Butterworth, Hattie Jacques, Terry Scott, Bernard Bresslaw, Barbara Windsor, Jack Douglas, and Jim Dale. The humour of Carry On was in the British comic tradition of music hall and bawdy seaside postcards. The success of the series led to several spin-offs, including four Christmas television specials (1969-1973), a 1975 television series of thirteen episodes, and three West End stage shows that also toured the United Kingdom.

Do a little research. . .Benny Hill was one of the most famous British comedians. This is a "skit" from his "British" TV show. And yes, he's doing a parody of an American couple. Yikes, why is that so confusing?
