Barry and LeVon are two suave, smooth-talking swingers of ambiguous sexual orientation who purchased and prepared $240 worth of pudding. The sketch takes place in a velvet-draped room in the evening, with the duo wearing leisure suits and ruffled tuxedo shirts. They dance seductively around a large pile of vanilla pudding flanked by two crystal chandeliers. Throughout the sketch, they sweet-talk and seduce the pudding, explaining why they needed so much and how they prepared it. Barry's memorable line "I cook, and then I chill" became a catchphrase that has remained in popular culture for decades. The sketch ends with Barry and LeVon sitting down in the pudding pile. Originally accompanied by Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing," though this was replaced in DVD/iTunes releases due to licensing issues.
