Did you know about the opening "sight gag" in Get Smart that no one understood?
He drove a Sunbeam Alpine in Se.1 & 2, it could be considered a "sports car" when it had the big engine in it. It was mocking the James Bond cars, eh?
But no one got it, so they gave him a Karman Ghia (VW) in Se.3 &4. In NO way was that a "sports car" 😄 although it was adorable, but still no one "got it".
In Se.05 they gave him an Opel GT which was a good car, but IDK if they changed the opening from the Ghia or not. I think not.
Anyhow, it was a great show even if there were some "dud" episodes.
Oh yeah, I haven't watched it since I was a kid and actually had TV, but I fondly remember it as one of the funnier shows on. I'm just super confused about what the specific joke is that you were trying to explain. :p
Ah! No worry. I too "totally missed it" back then, even though as a VW fan (air cooled! Types 1, 2 & 3 owner!) I did wonder how that gutless Karman Ghia was making those sports-car noises.
Learning about it did make me think about the possibility of "subtle" jokes in Get Smart & there could be more. It was a very funny show.

I'm gonna be real, I'm more confused after reading your post than before.
Just saying that Get Smart was a terrific show. They had layers of funny! Most of it 'over the top' but subtle things too.
