It all has to do with an old Campbell Soup commercial created by Stan Freberg for Ann Miller, who performed atop a giant replica of a soup can -- "Let's face the chicken gumbo and dance ... Campbell Soup wanted the giant six foot can to be Chicken and Stars, which was lagging in sales and needed a boost, so they had thought. The mere mention of the word "gumbo" is funny. "Stars" aint. After this, Stan Freberg wrote in a clause to any new advertising contract. The client cannot ask why something is funny. So if you now don't know why gumbo is funny, go listen to some jazz.
