Hup! Bob and Phil's Nightclub Act

I just have to laugh at the ridiculous nightclub act of Wallace and Davis!

Maybe there was more to it than what was shown in the montage, or maybe people today are just more jaded and sophisticated than back in the 50's, but did people really go to see an act consisting of two guys doing a bad soft-shoe and going "Hup!"? Or doing a really bad cover of "We're Havin' a Heat Wave"?

I jest (sort of), but then again I laugh at Ricky Ricardo's Copacabana nightclub act!

I have found that many people who think they are sophisticated are confusing that with arrogance.
