Family Ties - Elyse's Proper Penguin Commercial

[@Transcendfinejewelleryonline]

This is so funny, I remember watching this when it aired. Loved this show!!

[@tilly6973]

My all-time Family Ties funniest scene. Just wish that TV stations which play this episode would play the WHOLE scene, they ALWAYS cut this scene short!!!

[@pamelajaye]

Do they? It's been so long since I've seen it. It was the funniest thing I ever saw on the show. Now if I could only find that clip that was clipped out of eight is enough, probably when it went into syndication, about all the reality shows back in the late '70s. I'm sure that one will never be seen again. In the meantime, thanks for this

[@HopefulMansion-cx6be]

Exactly 💯% Correct I noticed that also and the line because what she says at the end before he falls over.

[@callmehchloe4074]

My Mom has a video of me re enacting this when I was 10!

[@TheRetroGuy2000]

Loved this episode when it originally aired. Thanks for uploading this scene!

[@hutch1197]

Well, how DOES one cook 8 friends and a penguin? I hope they revealed it in the next scene.

[@nyc78]

Lmao this is my favorite scene of all time on "Family Ties"! 😂

[@briansetpente1019]

Great chemistry great show great theme song 😃👍

[@jackiehusein6267]

I know how you felt Mallory. I don't ever feel like I'm good at much or anything I do in life is valuable. I may as well be a penguin.

[@kerriethompson2073]

I forgot not everyone had a microwave in the 80's. Lol

[@HenryBloggit]

The Keatons don’t have a dishwasher either!

[@sportsygirl8]

This is so funny!!! The best part was when Mallory locked the door, I could totally see myself doing something like this when I was younger, but instead of jealousy, I'd would have done it just for kicks. It's funny when I watch this show, I see some characteristics of myself in Mallory, Jennifer and Alex. So what did Mallory do to get Mr. Penguin to fall at the end or did he just happen to fall? Fun fact: Guy that plays Mr. Penguin, John McCook, is on the Bold and the Beautiful and plays Eric Forrester.

[@FireMinstrel]

For some reason, I always thought it was Jennifer who kept screwing up the commercial shoot when I remembered this episode. Granted, I haven't seen this one in over 20 years, so I guess my brain's a little foggy.

[@morgan8757]

mallory is a big dope

[@HopefulMansion-cx6be]

Just like Justine in Real Life... she is a Whacko🙄 I unfortunately met her Twice and Rude and Crude both times.

[@jammerstud99]

Hiallrious...really loved this

[@flpnovr2]

Just love this scene!

[@ecwdude17]

Mallory Keaton. The Proper Penguin Saboteur.

[@natalieschannel7675]

Eric from Bold and The Beautiful!

[@lottelarsen2918]

Sir pinguin is Eric forrester😉😉

[@sportsygirl8]

Yes, that he is!!! He did a great job on this. The whole time I was watching, I thought that guy looks familiar and then when the credits were rolling and I saw that it was John McCook, I then shouted to no one and said "THAT'S ERIC FORRESTER!" Yes, I'm 25 and watch Y&R and also B&B. I think John McCook was also in an episode of MacGyver season 1.

[@lottelarsen2918]

sportsygirl8 I watch it too 😉😉

[@laminage]

Yes, he also spent Four Years as Lance Prentiss on The Young & The Restless who was involved with Laurie Brooks. They were next to The Fosters (Jill's Family) the "Original" Family of Genoa City.

[@laurlicia]

Oh yeah, I was trying to place him! Thank you!

[@Bluenoser03]

Watching this now. Omg so funny. 😂

[@bonnieriffle8371]

I was held down at work, Traffic was important, I am I suppose to cook 8 friends in a paguin? Lol! 😆😆😆

[@TnseWlms]

Proper Penguin, as a brand name for elegant frozen food. Why didn't any real company think that up first?

[@TnseWlms]

Eventually some company might try some reverse product placement.

[@nealwhaley63]

Here’s a thought: tell the girl it’s a closed set and to get the hell out.

[@joyrose9597]

That's Eric from bold and beautiful 😍

[@efrain926]

Mallory wore dresses with pearls on regular days. I love it!

[@hutch1197]

No, she didn't. She showed up dressed like that because she was competing with her mom for attention.

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

Mallory what a babe!!!!!!!! 😍

[@eugenemckinney6062]

I remember that This was very very funny

[@troyevitt2437]

I say this at Publix and people look at me like I'm insane. Also, I'm insane.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

Ah the ol' sitcom characters doing a commercial cliché...

[@LaurenForeverHomeRescue]

*_OMG!_* It's John O'Hurley (Peterman) from Seinfeld!!! I heard that Gary David Goldberg used real members of the show crew to shoot this fake commercial. "Family Ties", "It's Garry Shandling's Show" and of course Letterman's NBC show, were the best things on TV in the 80's and maybe _ever._

[@carmesundae2]

why did mallory lock the Door?

[@maureenmeagher6415]

To ruin the commercial

[@CMustaine-ky5hv]

I liked this episode.I didn’t like Elyse yelling and killing my eardrums while filming proper penguin but it was an ok episode

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Eric Forrester the pengiun.

[@D2Kprime]

Mallory was irritating to me. She pulled this same crap when her college architect friend formed a bond with Elyse. Made a big hysterical-display at a party calling her mother everything but a son of an unnamed-goat with all her friends there and then had the nerve to say the _Elyse_ was the one acting immature? Geez.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Hahaha

[@wendycreswell5554]

Mallory go on my nerves interrupting her mom.

[@ericpotter774]

exactly!!

[@danielgood917]

So this is what Jim Acosta was doing before CNN. Who knew?

[@lame.humor-guy5253]

she was horrible.

[@DukeandRocketsFan]

Mallory was such a brat, I hated this episode

[@Rose-oq2hn]

I can’t stand Elyse

[@SteverenoOFFICIAL]

Respectfully disagree :)

[@vitocardone4237]

@@SteverenoOFFICIALyou didnt find her a controlling, manipulative selfish woman? She was as toxic as they come

sportsygirl8 the guy fell out because of heat exhaustion/heat stroke. He mentioned that it was over 100 degrees in his suit.
