I loved is when he was speaking all sophiticated to the parents and then changed it all when he was bullying Beaver

Especially when he spoke to Beaver's parents & he'd use big, educated words & voice his disgust at delinquent behavior.
On one episode I remember, Beaver's mother was describing some other kids' bad behavior to Eddie & he replied, "Mrs. Cleaver, I find such behavior to be particularly juvenile."
And when he came to visit Wally: "Good afternoon, Mrs. Cleaver. Is Wallace home?"

Type-casting is why so many actors/actresses today don't want to stay on a series for too long. I think Ken Osmond could have become a good dramatic actor.
