OT: Audio comedy from the 1909, 1908, 1906

I realise this is off-topic, but I think the people of this board might find it interesting. I also posted a similar thread on the comedy board, but they seem uninterested. The following are some comedy sketches, issued as cylinder records by Edison Records. They make me wonder what talkies would have been like if they had existed in the 1900s.

"The traveling salesman", 1909

"Casting bread upon the waters", 1909

"House cleaning time", 1908

"Maggie Clancy's new piano", 1906

These were marketed as "vaudeville" recordings, though the sketches weren't actually performed on vaudeville.
