Beware, already!

The day after Pi Day is the Ides of March. In honour of the day, some classic Wayne and Shuster.

As first-generation television comedians go, these guys are a couple of my favourites. Their TV show was a fairly typical "acted out radio play" format, but what made Wayne and Shuster different was that their comedy was extremely literate.

This episode is an extended version of a sketch that they performed on their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, and it's probably still their most famous.

Some trivia: Frank Shuster was the cousin of Joe Shuster (the co-creater of Superman) and father-in-law of Lorne Michaels.

Actual show is after the jump.
