I am trying to remember which film contained the scene below. It's a parody similar to Young Frankenstein in that there is a limping lab assistant. He wears suspenders/braces and sports shoes. At some point he takes off the braces and his limping disappears. It's probably from the 80s. Any ideas? It's stuck in my head for two days.

I've read through way too many pages on TVTropes looking for this, and nothing seems to be coming up.

On the plus side, I did find a scene that I've been looking for for years where a woman snaps her own neck to avoid being questioned by police. It was an episode from The Outer Limits.
