I agree!
 
If you want some more exemples... a recording or even a transcript of the "Who's on First" skit by Abbot & Costello, or just about any episode of the "Benny Hill Show".  Most of the skits and any of his songs are just loaded with such references. (Double meanings, Synonyms, etc.) Though, you might want to screen it first. British shows tend to be more 'adult' than American shows. Just a warning to those who are concerned about such things.
