Snuffo
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Played without dialogue, Benny Hill's flat-capped old duffer buys a box of Snuffo, the really strong snuff, from a tobacconist and takes a pinch in the street. At the bus stop his sneezes blow a city gent's newspaper out of his hands and then blow the dress clean off the young woman waiting beside them, so the gent gives chase. Out in the countryside another sneeze sends a tent flying to reveal two campers in their underwear, and the next brings down a tree, putting an axe-wielding lumberjack on his trail. A sneeze even topples a factory chimney, and as the whole crowd pursues him across a field through the closing credits, his last sneeze sets off a mushroom cloud.
