"I heard it on Hee Haw... the Dean Martin show...Sonny and Cher..." It's a dated joke that works because of the deadpan way Maude, Walter and Arthur respond to it. Florida even gets to be the recipient of the "God'll get you for that" joke, laughing at Maude's audacity and even doing an Aunt Jemima impression.
Maude's the nervous long tailed cat as she prepares for a fund raising party with her usual over the top liberal intentions, hosting a get together for black activist Jim Chambers and using Florida to pose as an upscale black guest. But Maude requires more than her share of tranquilizers which makes her extremely loopy and hysterically out of control. This shows Maude at her most deliciously ridiculous, resulting in a very funny episode that is certainly one of the best of the series.
