It dawns on me that Costello uses the visual trick of wearing his pants way up high. He's now ahead of the game. He doesn't have to even open his mouth and he's getting a laugh from the viewer. I would think anyone performing this gesture gets some sort of laugh. The "little fat guy" wasn't so dumb after all.
