A random college student could come up with all of these in about 30 minutes

- Does Elmer Fudd have trouble with the letter "R"? (Cuts to Elmer hunting and telling the audience to be "vewy quiet" while he's "hunting wabbits", the director correcting his rhotacism to the former's frustration, and eventually stalking off the screen while muttering about how "this diwector is starting to wub me the wong way".)

- Was Abe Lincoln honest? (Cuts to an old-style black and white film of Mary Todd Lincoln asking "Does this dress make my backside look big?" After a lengthy pause and deliberation, Lincoln sheepishly responds, saying "Perhaps a...", interrupted as she gets up and walks out perturbed.)
- Is having a snowball fight with pitching great Randy Johnson a bad idea? (Cuts to Johnson helping a man to his feet, the latter with a hole in the arm of his jacket, in a snowy street. After lamenting the heavily damaged garage door behind them, they agree to go sledding instead.)
- Is a bird in the hand worth two in the bush? (Cuts to an Antiques Roadshow appraiser examining a small statue of a human hand holding a bird. He tells the statue's owner that it is indeed worth at least two in the bush.)

- Do woodchucks chuck wood? (Cuts to a jovial pair of woodchucks throwing chopped logs into a pond and being admonished by the farmer who chopped them.)
- Did the little piggy cry 'wee wee wee' all the way home? (Cuts to a pig named Maxwell riding in the back seat of an Honda Pilotholding pinwheels, yelling "wee wee wee" out the window, before being dropped off at his house by his friend's exasperated mother.)[24](See section Maxwell the Pig)

That and their "Did you know that...." commercials. Horribly unfunny and not even unintentionally funny, just annoying.
