In the "Joker's Utility Belt" comic, the Joker has a conveyor belt that leads into a giant Joker face, and the Joker mouth is a furnace. His utility belt is also red in the comic, which may be where that bit came from.
Joker managing to take off Batman's belt and replace it with another belt must mean the Joker has an awfully light touch or did Batman think that was some weird fighting maneuver. If Batman is slim enough to slip out of his belt without knowing it, I guess part two could have been "Batman is Svelte." I thought of one other one, but it was a little too off-color.
D'oh! We shoulda read the whole comic before we recorded! I do see that furnace now. I wonder if Stadd also got the idea from this comic, or if he came up with a similar idea independently? And did Semple get it from Stadd or from this comic?
Oops, not being a comics reader, I did not know that either. My bad. Fair point, gothos mansion.
Also, a few quick points:
--I agree with Ken Householder's original point--I can't stand 'funny drunks,' so that scene fell flat for me
--I agree with you guys--Joker killing his own henchmen, even if they were double-crossing him, doesn't fit with the tone of the show
--I love the idea of a moll falling into the nuclear pile every week a la
South Park
--It was unfortunate Nancy Kovack did not have more lines, because her line in the 'What's My Crime' spoof of What's My Line is a nice impression of Arlene Francis of What's My Line
