Plebian:
"Sombody oughta hit ya. But I'm not gonna hit ya. I'm not gonna hit ya. The hell I'm not!"
Erudite:
"Sock it to me?"
BTW, I've started attempting to make the Plebian and Erudite quotes related in some way. Now it's a triple game: identify the source of each quote, and explain how the two are related! F'r'instance, yesterday the Plebian was Elton John's "Candle In The Wind", which was a tribute to Marilyn Monroe. The Erudite was an exchange between Jack Benny and Monroe on Benny's tv show.
Today's relationship is actually sort of a double relationship, one obvious and one a slight bit more misty.

Well, it's John Wayne & Dick Nixon, but I'm fuzzy on the connection. JW was on Laugh-In too...or is it a political connest?
s/connest/connect/
The simple connestion, or connection even, is that both quotes reference whackin' someone. The slightly more obscure connection is, as you said, they were both unusual guests on Laugh-In (and both said "Sock it to me", although you are 100% correct in identifying the quote given here as being from Tricky Dick, as is evidenced by the inclusion of the question mark.
P: John Wayne in "McClintock"
E: obviously from "Laugh-In", the inclusion of the question mark makes it undeniably from Richard Nixon
C: Both were unusual guests on "Laugh-In"
Point to Mr. FitzSimons.
