Belker's Encounter with a Poultry Customer

[@debrabarnett6491]

This has been my favorite scene ever since it first aired!

[@gusm2752]

Fantastic show !!! Actually had a couple of Hill Street Blues T shirts when it was on the air 👍🚔🚔🚔

[@markstecyna5515]

That little old lady was Florence Halop. She played the bailiff Flo on Night Court. Great actress

[@moretoknowshow1887]

I love the fact its Hank Kimball running the fish stall.

[@pelucitadered]

When I saw that part (1:37), I almost fell over laughing! Florence Halop also played Mrs. Hufnagel in St. Elsewhere, back in the 80's.

[@amkaen]

One of the funniest scenes from the series! I saw it once about thirty years ago, and have remembered that line, "Lady, could you pass a test like that?" How cool to see it here!

[@petro1257]

Brian Leahy, thanks for posting this! I came on KZbin to specifically look for this clip. I think this was the funniest line of the whole series! LOL

[@lilacpeonies9643]

Peter Gee Me too. My husband's been talking about this for years. Soo glad it's here!

[@UBZUKki]

Mick Belker....What a character

[@jamescollinson2179]

Mick was my favorite character on Hill Street Blues. I watched just to see him.

[@carstenbergmann8464]

LOL. Belker was the best!

[@EdTraceyinHomer]

Couple of treats here for old-time TV fans: the "I know fish" guy Belker is working with is played by Alvy Moore, who also was the ditzy Mr. Kimball (the county agent) in _Green Acres_, and the woman customer is Florence Halop, whom I remember as the pain-in-the-ass perpetual patient Mrs. Hufnagel on _St. Elsewhere_.

[@RLukeDavis]

He and his writers made him a fantastic character 😂 🙏

[@pear7777]

Bruce Weitz. Awesome character.

[@ralphhorrigan5813]

Absolutely brilliant

[@FleshEatingZombie666]

my favourite character from hill street blues. belker was ace. loved when he used to growl at people lol

[@dontuno]

Just gave me my first laugh of the day! Classic stuff 😂😂

[@ViralTuber]

0:49 the older fish monger guy (named Merton) is comedy actor Alvy Moore, who was most famous for playing friendly and scatterbrained county agent Hank Kimball on "Green Acres" TV show 1965-71. For reference, this Hill Street Blues episode is "Ba-Bing, Ba-Bing" Season 4, Episode 2, aired 20 October 1983.

[@Ricky40369]

Alvy was great! God bless his acting talents. The apples were tart, not sour. And Green Acres was a great show.

[@robertsander8509]

Best character in the series !

[@johnbanks4761]

BRILLIANT line.

[@ricks.1318]

Freakin Hilarious .... Mick was the BEST of HSB

[@bleahy2001]

The funniest moment on prime time tv ever!

[@kendallrivers1119]

Mick and Howard are my absolute favorites!

[@bryanpelton6646]

Becker was the best! 😂

[@Lolabelle59]

I love Belker. He reminds me of someone I'm very fond of, in real life!

[@GrandpaCanCook]

Glad I found this. I tell people about this scene every once in awhile, when they complain about bad customer service.

[@tommiller9743]

Beller is awesome!

[@ncwordman]

As a young teen in the '80s, and not a very sophisticated one at that, Hill Street was mostly over my head. But Belker always brought it down to earth for me. I loved his phone calls from his mom, and how he had more in common with "dirt bag" crooks than prim and proper mid- and upper-class people. Yet he showed that the law wasn't just an arbitrary set of rules, but plain old right and wrong. As rough and tumble as he was, he cared about right and wrong, knowing such laws and ethics kept our society from falling apart.

[@Kayo_ea110]

I can't believe that made it past the censors. Awesome scene.

[@cathyfornash5808]

Belker is the man

[@shanekilpatrick3378]

Onya Mick😂

[@EdTraceyinHomer]

Thanks. Not surprised she had other TV credentials.

[@tjswoboda4252]

I'm surprised this made it past Standards & Practices in the early to mid 80s. Nice. I found this searching for the episode where SWAT is going into the back of a Chinese restaurant with a warrant, while the department brass are sitting down to eat inside. Is that anywhere on KZbin or alternate sites?

[@jasonking6892]

Very funny 😄

[@georgfriedrichhandel4390]

IMO, Belker's funniest scene was with the mime!

[@Princess07ish]

I like the episode when he was having a conversation with one of the guys probably Frank and he happened to notice the guy dressed in a chicken suit that he brought in was looking and listening to them so Belker got mad and yelled, IS THERE A PROBLEM DOG DROOL? He started pushing him saying, GO ONNN MOOOVIT, MOOVIT!!! He was so funny!!

[@ChachiTelevision1979]

The other guy is from Green Acres.

[@scootdaws25]

Was that Hank Kimball from Green Acres?

[@robertsander8509]

Does anyone have the clip of Ferilo announcing Phil's death? Please post.

[@RayKlassen]

This is probably extremely late, but for what it's worth, please look under the KZbin user named João Brites, and the video is entitled, "Phil Esterhaus".

[@sheilawells3706]

Hill Street Blues

[@platoonboss]

😂😂😂

[@Ricky40369]

Classic. That's all I can say.

[@robertsander8509]

Belker was my favorite ! I bet RYADRIZ could'nt pass a test like that !

[@nancymckivens1576]

roll theme

[@samiullahmir]

Anthony Zacchara !!!!

[@wabfil]

This scene would not have been believable after the Covid times

[@Nickolas847]

What is she doing with that chicken

[@scottw6704]

Smelling its taint, it looked like. Disturbing.

[@speeta]

Anything for a laugh, huh, Mrs. Hufnagel?

[@Ryadriz]

I hate belker. I remember him jumping on a fucking boxing bag, humping the bag and bitting it and freaking ripping it. Goddamit that was so unrealistic. The way the guy jumps and always bites made him kinda of a stupid character in my opinion.

[@kidmack1121]

I still don't understand the popularity of this show and it's characters like Belker. (?????) Well, at least it was another hit series that kept NBC, my favorite of the "big 3" on top for a few years. After only seeing two or three episodes, Including the pilot on it's original debut, I just never found this series entertaining. I remember hearing that many LEOs found the show realistic, whereas I would've thought that Joseph Wambaugh's "Police Story" 1973-1977 another NBC cop show, would've been the most realistic police series.
