According to Buddy Sorrell, 32 is the funniest number.
Sally Rogers: What’s a matter with fifteen?
Maurice (Buddy) Sorrell: Thirty-two’s a funnier number.
Sally Rogers: Since when?
Maurice (Buddy) Sorrell: Thirty-two has ALWAYS been a funnier number! I hear thirty-two, I get hysterical! Watch.
[turns to Rob]
Maurice (Buddy) Sorrell: Try me.
Rob Petrie: Thirty-two.
Maurice (Buddy) Sorrell: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo!
Sally Rogers: Well, I gotta admit he’s right.

I read somewhere that they never even bothered giving Buddy Sorrell a script. When they did, it just said Buddy says something funny.
