Okay, yep, that's even funnier and more obscure.
I mean SERIOUSLY - I cackled with glee at the reference because it was so obscure.
ETA he has done some version of that at the end of every single HBO special he's done, and he's done a lot of them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I admit, I had to google.
That was a helluva well-constructed joke, with the set-up to expect "Thumper" and the follow-up "that's funnier/you can have it".

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Well, especially since that SNL clip Tom linked to is from the 70s. Wasn't Klein THE first host of SNL back in the day?

Is it just me, or does the zombie makeup Corey Monteith is wearing look disturbingly like the blackface C. Thomas Howell wore in Soul Man?

Didn't you suspect he was just a fluffy misunderstood teddy bear underneath it all?
Yeah, I kind of gagged when he suggested they do a second number.
