          There's no equivalent of "standards" in the other forms. No one would ever think to redo "Who's on First?", "Rinse the Blood Off My Toga"...

        "Introducing Tobacco to Civilisation" verbatim (although Who's on First has *many* less-successful imitations).

      Not that there should be. Routines are very specific to the performance/performer; I'd argue "The Moose" can only be performed by Allen.

    But, given the chance, what could someone else do with @SteveMartinToGo's "I'm So Mad At My Mother"? SNL's "Bass-o-matic"? Others?
