Laugh-In
Sixties comedy program
Laugh-In was an American television comedy show that aired from 1968 to 1973, known for its rapid-fire jokes, psychedelic visuals, and countercultural sensibility.
The format influenced decades of sketch comedy.
The title plays on "love-in" and "sit-in," protest-era terms for gatherings.
References to Laugh-In usually evoke its frenetic style or catchphrases like Sock it to me.
