The writers of this sketch are scary brilliant. One mistake, just one, and the whole thing falls apart. Amazing! And the more convoluted it got, the funnier it got.

The timing on this is just exceptional, especially on the 4 way communication with the operator in the middle, including how they have the same body movement. Hilarious!

The current generation of 20 year olds has NO IDEA what Carol's character is actually doing with her pulling and plugging in wires. "Hotel switchboard" was actually an enviable job title as recently as the late 1980's. Now, when you call a hotel, you get an automated system.

+70Kenny I worked the front desk of this small hotel in Door County Wisconsin this summer and they have a smaller version of this machine! One of my responsibilities at the front desk was to also answer calls. The "cord board" was such a goofy thing to see and experience. I spent hours playing on this thing once I got the hang of it! Apparently, that board has been there since the hotel opened in 1949. I saw pictures of it from way back then (creepy)! Anyways, I thought I'd share..

+William Mary Really? I thought all those machines had gone to scrap. I know where Winnebago County, Wisconsin is (because I have good friends who live there) but I'll have to look up the location of Door County.

I’d like to point out that I’m 22 and fully understand this operating system haha ^^’ but I knew what you meant, I took care of kids in a school bus before who dont know what a cassette tape is or what dial up internet was like. (Actually about half of the students in my class at college dont know what dial up is....now THATS scary!) (also, sorry for poor grammar).

I love this video, it is always funny. But, being a 608a switchboard operator in the early 70's, I know how it operates and the caller would hear you coming into and out of the line. I kept thinking they were going to say something about her listening, lol.
