In one of the "Good Burger" sketches, an elderly gentleman arrived at Good Burger with a little girl. This is the dialogue that was exchanged between him and Ed (the idiot fast-food attendant):
Old man: [pointing to little girl] This is my great-granddaughter Bernice.
Ed: Oh, she's your niece?
Old man: NO, I said she's my great-granddaughter.
Ed: But, you said she's your niece.
Wouldn't it have made more sense for Ed to say, "Oh, she's my niece," "But, you said she's my niece"? Keep in mind that Ed is black and Bernice & her great-grandfather are white - another reason why the hilarity of Ed's idiocy would've been more effective this way. Besides, despite how dumb he is, why would he think the little girl is the old man's niece when "Bernice" rhymes with "your niece." Thus, Ed's niece from Ed's perspective.
