Added DiffLines:
* {{Parody}}: Quite a few extended parodies of pop culture of TheFifties.
** "Face the Funnies" is a takeoff on ''Series/MeetThePress'' and ''Series/FaceTheNation''.
** "Uninterrupted Melody" is a spoof of ''Film/FromHereToEternity'', only it's about the ice cream truck business rather than the military.
** "Gray Flannel Hatful of Teenage Werewolves" mashes up several films--''The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit'' (a character works his way up the corporate ladder), ''A Hatful of Rain'' (a character harbors a shameful secret life, in the original film it was as a heroin addict) and ''Film/IWasATeenageWerewolf'' (the werewolf angle)--plus Freberg indulging in some BitingTheHandHumor based on his early experiences in the advertising world.

** This gets taken to a rather ludicrous extreme when Stan starts singing a rendition of "Old Man River" in front of a censor. However, seeing that "old" is a potentially offensive adjective, the title is immediately changed to "Elderly Man River". How far will Stan go to adapt to the censor's standards?
