Harry H Corbett does also does a nicked version in Carry On Screaming. There's a lot of pastiches of that routine, usually funnier than A&C. My favourite is from Leslie Nielsen in Police Squad who turns up to ask witnesses how many times Mr Once shot Mr Twice.

And of course the Over/Under/Done routine in Airplane II. :)

They send themselves up in Who Done It when their characters turn on a radio only to hear A and C doing Who's On First and they immediately dismiss it as rubbish :D
