Napoleon – Why do you always keep your hand in your shirt?
Napoleon is a Quick Blackout comedy skit, taken from The Red Skelton Hour episode, The Bear was. Bare-Faced Liar. It’s a very short sketch, that goes like this:
Two clowns (supposed to be reporters) are waiting to interview Napoleon. He walks on stage, and one of the reporters asks the first question.
“Emperor Napoleon, why do you always keep your hand inside your shirt?”
Napoleon (in full costume) responds, “Well, when I take it out, this happens.”
He pulls his hand out, and the entire front of his costume falls down, exposing Napoleon’s undershirt and clownish boxer shorts.
