"Well, crying isn't gonna bring your dog back . . . unless your tears smell like dog food. So you can either sit there crying and eating can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food to make your dog come back or you can go out there and find your dog."

And you thought reality TV was bad...
This is from a series of 70's primetime TV specials called "Legends of the Superheroes" which was designed to be a Dean Martin variety style show. This clip was from an episode where Batman and Robin get summoned to a "supehero roast". The specials were hosted by Ed McMahon.
In this "hilarious" clip Robin talks to Captain Marvel about crashing the Batmobile and is then forced to tell Batman. (OK, it's not really hilarious. But apparently the audience thought it was. Oh wait, that's a laugh track...") Maybe somebody thought this would be hilarious.
Can't get enough? Here's more.

It's....
It's....
It's like a car wreck. I want to look away, but I can't....
So many words. None of which are..."hilarious".

You're both right. It's not literally hilarious. I was kinda in character as someone in the fake audience or one of the producers of the show when I wrote that. My tongue was definitely in my cheek, along with a grain of salt.
I should have put the word "hilarious" in quotes. I've since revised my description a little.

I'm not sure if "hilarious" is the word I'd use for this. ;-)
