I think that was a reference to the movie The Three Amigos. The characters misunderstanding the word sent them off on their unintentionally heroic adventure.
Completely unrelated to that comment - I saw Steve Martin and Martin Short last year when they were on tour together.
Many laughs about The Three Amigos.
But my absolute favorite moment, and it will remain so for the rest of my life, of on-stage performance was when they were ramping the crowd up at the start of the show by mentioning and calling back to various things they've done. They listed all of their very popular movies, skits, songs, whatever, to raucous applause.
Until Martin Short talked about "Clifford". I lost my mind cheering, expecting everyone else to. I love that movie. It's so dumb and hilarious. Literally 0 other people even clapped. Just me, in a room of 2000 people, losing my mind.
And Martin Short looked up at me and said, "Of course that would come from the cheap seats."
Just amazing.
