... "The other was also spoken. The man says, Hey friend, has life got you down.... well step right up... and something about is your mother-in-law getting to you?"

I remember somthing like this - someone asked a series of questions like this, after which they asked something like "Is that what's troubling you, bunky?" Then there was much fanfare as the narrator urges the person in question to cheer up, using a number of cliche phrases, and then ends with a punchline. One punchline I remember was "And remember, what this country needs is a five cent nickel!"

That's all I recall.
