Not a surprise at all.
Maybe I am stretching it, but if we are going to go back that far, lets go back further with Abbott & Costello.
Cant resist pointing out that the movie "Rush Hour 2" with Jacky Chan and Chris Tucker paid homage to this motif. All be it much shorter. But still the comedic principle of playing off of misunderstanding.
I honestly think Robin if still alive would love people talking about comedy in general. Pretty darned sure he had his own influences too.
One of the last entries in this wiki Article about Robin lists his influences.
