Samuel B. Sternwheeler

Samuel B. Sternwheeler is a recurring skit in Hee Haw.

Summary
Gordie Tapp is the titular character, a southern gentleman resembling Mark Twain. Initially, he came out of his house to deliver a humorous bit of wisdom, but his quips soon devolved to nonsense.

Later appearances had him ramble until someone handed him a package which would then explode.
