Old SNL sketch: “‘Toonces, The Cat Who Could Drive A Car.’ Lyle and Brenda discover that Toonces can drive, just not very well. ‘I saw him up there fooling around at the steering wheel. I guess I just assumed he could drive.’ Later, they worry about Toonces’ upcoming driver’s test. ‘That written part is pretty hard.’ Kevin Nealon is the driving instructor, and off they go, but predictably, they end up going over a cliff.”
