The best comic ballets are performed by Les Ballet Trockadero de Monte Carlo. Hard to match.

I find the second clip incredibly creepy, what with all the manipulation of otherwise totally inert and inanimate women. I am wondering if it's at all a parody of Balanchine's choreography/attitude towards women.

Every art form should have its own PDQ Bach.

Lest you think Jerome Robbins is all goof, remember that he choreographed West Side Story, (and lots of other Broadway Shows), as well as a ton of classic ballets for New York City Ballet which are still being performed as part of the repertory, things like Fancy Free, Dances at a Gathering, and Moves.
