The comedy of this show is similar to Burns and Allen. Like Burns, Goodman Ace relies on male logic and reason; however " Jane Ace consistently maneuvers him into linguistic and cognitive labyrinths he could not begin to find his way out of". "Jane Ace was especially known for her malapropisms and misquotes, known as Janeacisms . Like Gracie Allen, Jane appears to be a scatterbrain, but language is putty in her hands as she reshapes existing clichés into entendres and pointed jokes. "Were insufferable friends" and "Time wound all heels." Others are equally good "we're all cremated equal", "Working our head to the bone", "Up at the crank of dawn", and "You've got to take the bitter with the badder".
