What the heck is that all about?

An attempt by Ms. Hollander Kopelman (?) and Mr. Collyer to present the next half-hour as the height of hilarity--sort of an extreme version of the "T or C" and "House Party" audiences laughing at the top the show.
When the episodes recycle, notice that the sequence was (rather sloppily, since a tiny bit of the sound remains) edited from the opening film within a few weeks--that edit remained for some time, until they reprinted the opening to include a change in Sylvania slogans. (I wonder if the opening was shot without Goodson's approval and if he didn't like what he saw.)
