Funny / The Strongest Man in the World

Go To

  • The sight of Wicked Cultured former Big Bad Arno reduced to the straight man of a Bumbling Henchman Duo as he and Cookie try to sneak into the chemistry lab on a window-washing platform they struggle to operate.
  • Schuyler is hypnotized into revealing everything he knows about the strength formula and then told to drive home. To drive home, though, he needs a car, and the closest one for him to steal in his hypnotic state belongs to the chief of police.
  • Mr. Krinkle (Phil Silvers) takes an incomplete strength formula, thinks he has super strength, and breaks his hand while testing his powers. He also has to be talked out of squashing a bust of his great-grandfather, the company founder, whom he has always felt inferior to.
  • One of the scrawny Medfield weightlifters who belatedly learns he didn’t take the complete strength formula goes through a hilariously long and desperate struggle to lift the lightest weight available.
