In episode #96, "Middle Age" (I'm pretty sure is that episode), Again, Dietrich busts out laughing while delivering his line. This is the episode where he is handing out invitations to a party he'll be giving. He's talking to Levitt, explaining one of the games they'll be playing at the party, which consists of the guests drawing the name of an 18th century philosopher, impersonate him/her, and through the course of the evening based on the conversations, people will guess which philosopher people are impersonating.

While he's explaining the game to Levitt, his voice breaks and blatantly laughs. My assumption is that he's laughing at Ron Carey's facial expressions. That's really interesting because the other time when he breaks character and laughs during the "Dietrich's Arrest" episode, Ron Carey was also making faces. I think Ron Carey made Steve Landesberg laugh. I'm surprised they left the scene the way it was. Maybe Steve couldn't get through the scene without laughing and that's the best take.

If you've taped the shows, check it out. I'm pretty sure it's the "Middle Age" episode.
