Mine is the one where Ralph & Norton do a late night TV commercial to sell a kitchen gadget.

(27,783 posts)Norton helped Ralph "prepare" for the TV show by playing current hit songs on a piano; but first he always "loosened up" by playing a few bars of Stephen Foster's "Old Folks at Home"
aka "Swanee River"
Then, on the TV show, they played "Swanee River"..& the host asked Ralph who wrote the song and he answered nervously "Ed Norton?"

The fact that it happened near the end of the scene only made it more hilarious!
