Benny Hill: WTF?

When I was younger, Benny Hill used to confuse the hell out of my still-developing pubescent brain. Am I supposed to laugh, or get a boner? Why is everyone moving so fast? This clip adds to that mix the added confusion of whether I should be offended at Benny Hill in blackface. Is Benny Hill foreign enough to get a pass, like the Japanese karaoke masters (he IS English)? You be the judge.
