cameo appearances by Celebrities and occasionally Politicians, delivering quick-fire jokes.

Laugh-In had many catchphrases and running gags:
"Sock It to Me" (Judy Carne)
"Look that up in your Funk and Wagnell"
"You Bet Your Sweet Bippy"
"Very Interesting"
"Goodnight Mister Dillon, Goodnight Lucy" - a reference to "Gunsmoke" and "The Lucy Show" on CBS
in the same time slot.
