This is one of my all time favorite Ullman skits. The acting and writing are of the highest quality. The skit showcases Laurie’s amazing talent but Ullman’s dual take on a sidesplitting Princess Margret and Timmy’s wife are equally extraordinary.

I understand Margaret was just like this. I almost think people were releived when she could no longer socialize. How sad to have that as your legacy.

Comedy is squarely based in reality and it's the truth of ourselves and society that we hear. There is a 'meeting of the minds' between people who laughs together and at the same things. It's funny 'cause it's true. It used to be called the man on the street.
