I don't get it. Was there something there that didn't culturally translate? Was the joke too subtle for me? Was it just not very good?

Jaywalking laws = conformity, authoritarianism, and the corporate capture of public commons I guess? I mean, I don't know that Chevy Chase would have thought of it in exactly those terms but it makes sense that walk/wait signs (which wee still fairly new even in the 60s) would be a natural thing for mild counterculture comedy to use.


But more likely it's a callback/homage/ripoff of some old slapstick bit we haven't seen.


Either way, it isn't very good.
