It’s probably Milhouse.
A mushroom cloud rises above the rubble of the Capitol Building where Mike Johnson stands before a smoldering crater that was once the rotunda and tells a reporter he’s seen nothing about that.
It had been established in the comics by that point in that he had a compulsion to do so. There’s a scene in the ‘66 movie (often edited out of tv broadcasts for time) where Frank delivers a great, unhinged rant about his need to riddle.
Anne Baxter and Vincent Price as Olga, Queen of the Cossacks and Egghead in Batman (1966) hold eggs on their hands.

A sign with Microsoft Word’s Clippy by the U.S. Constitution, with their familiar word bubble but saying “I see you’re having trouble with your checks and balances. Would you like some help?”
Would you like some help?

William Powell in a suit and tie but wearing a beret, stands in a doorway in a black and white image from the 1937 Powell-Loy flick, Double Wedding.
Watching Double Wedding (1937), which asks the question of how you make the usually-dapper William Powell a bohemian. You put him in a beret, of course.
Watching a series of successively larger street sweepers, from comically tiny to honking monster, make their way through the neighborhood and find it thoroughly entertaining.
