Hm, denna del av citatet föll bort:
"[...] Initially, Olsen and Johnson’s material was also unremarkable.
Mostly they recycled old skits and gags that were already classics by
the time they got them, but some trademark bits emerged as the team
made the journey from obscure nightclubs to the major vaudeville
circuits. The pair always carried starter’s pistols, and were likely
to start shooting blanks at anything that irritated them in a sketch.
They typically fired guns up into the rafters, and in response got a
shower of dead ducks ... and occasionally dead “cows” and other
unlikely game. Olsen and Johnson began throwing food ... bread,
bananas, even eggs... at the audience, a Burlesque practice that had
died out during the Depression that continues today in the hands of
such practitioners as Gallagher and Rip Taylor. Olsen and Johnson were
also what were called 1prop comics.'"
Nåväl, det är bara att läsa vidare på egen hand på länken.
