More <x>? Uh-huh! More <y>? Uh-huh, uh-huh!
[Chilly Willy “Half Baked Alaska” (April 1, 1965); <x> = “pancakes”; <y> = “syrup” or “butter”]
<x> and <y> overload. Chilly tries to load up on an incredible amount of overpriced breakfast foodstuff, but can’t pay the bill. “Uh-huh”s spoken with falsetto. An expression of insatiable greed. It’s strange, this is just about my only memory of Chilly Willy actually being funny ... then I watched it, and it wasn’t funny anymore. This is sort of like remembering that Speed Racer was gripping drama.
Smedley: At your service boy. What’ll it be? One stack of hotcakes?
Chilly: Uh-huh.
Smedley: With plenty of butter.
Chilly: Uh-huh.
Smedley: Lots of syrup?
Chilly: Uh-huh.

Smedley: You’re welcome.
