The two things that are always funny are the Mystical Fountain - hilarious every time we've seen him and the Horror Makeup Show. That's a must-see for us.
But the funniest thing ever happened in 1999 - The Hitchcock show used to solicit "volunteers" to act in the infamous shower scene from Psycho. My DH, who HATES to be the center of attention, was approached and asked to help in the performance. They took him away and my son and I were escorted to seats front and center. The director brought out some actors and techinical guys and explained how they filmed the shower scene and then they went through the scene. Who should come out dressed as Mother but my DH. My son and I have never laughed so hard in our entire lives. I was laughing so hard that I threw myself into an asthma attack. They let me video tape the scene and the camera is shaking from me laughing so hard and you can hear me wheezing. The director was so funny. He was saying things like how my son must really be proud of Dad, and "Houston, we have a problem." (We're from Houston.)
I think that shortly after that, they quit using real actors and volunteers and acting the scene out, and started just explaining how it was filmed. I'm so glad we have that on tape. It is a priceless family memory.
