The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season 1, Episode 14 - Buddy, Can You Spare a Job? - Full Episode

[@sharkyfish3492]

you know, this show and so many from the time era are pure gold. No sex, guns, murders of dirty jokes. This show showed us Family values, friendships, supporting others in times of need. We need more sit coms like this now.

[@sharksport01]

I watched an episode yesterday that was all about guns.

[@MrMenefrego1]

@@sharksport01 The one where Lora forbids Rob to give their son a BB gun?

[@amierichan7231]

​@@MrMenefrego1 there's also the one about the cat burglar z the one where Rob may have observed robbers running away, the cannon firing at the night club...

[@MrMenefrego1]

@@amierichan7231 Ah, yes, I had forgotten about that episode. Thank you, my kind friend!😉

[@amierichan7231]

And there was at least one dirty joke:. In the episode where the Petries give Laura the gold map of the US. Rob makes a comment about crushing the family. . . and trails off. It is obvious he was going to say "jewels", and the audience gets it and laughs. In the very first episode, at the end, Laura tell Rob that her instincts are good because she is a woman. As soon as she finishes uttering the line, she walks off camera and removes her pearl necklace. Rob leers at her retreating figure and says something to the effect of don't I know it, and then follows her out. Everyone knows what happens next:-). There are also a couple of references to homosexuality. Richard Deacon, of course, being gay. To reference Atticus Finch, I question the values and morals of wanting shows to preserve polite fiction.

[@docadams7099]

Richard Deacon and Len Weinrib pulled off comedy GOLD in this one!!!!!

[@tiffanyspencer1082]

Dick's old man voice cracks me up so much😅😅 It's even funnier considering he's nearly 100 and still doesn't sound a doddering old man😂

[@MrMenefrego1]

Leonard Weinrib, AKA Jackie Brew Brew, worked as an actor, comedian, and writer. I remember him when he played the title role in H.R. Pufnstuf. He was Grimace in McDonaldland commercials, he had the title role in Inch High, Private Eye, he was the original voice of Scrappy-Doo on Scooby-Doo, Hunk and Prince Lotor on Voltron, and Bigmouth on The Smurfs. He was the voice for Timer in the Time for Timer ABC public service announcements in the early 1970s. He did voice-over work for The Jetsons, and so much more. Leonard Weinrib passed away in 2006.

Woody Allen's character in Mighty Aphrodite is named Lenny Weinrib. I first noticed the connection several years after seeing the movie, when I was rewatching this episode and decided to look up the actor, as I was impressed by his scene-stealing performance and surprised he wasn't more famous. I'm guessing he and Allen may have been friends (they were both born in 1935) though I haven't been able to find any information to that effect. He was in two other episodes of Dick Van Dyke, though it's not clear he's supposed to be the same character. In one he plays a comedian friend of Buddy's named Phil Franklin who stages elaborate pranks. In another his character's name is Danny (not Jackie) Brewster, but he only appears briefly.

[@MrMenefrego1]

@@Kylopod Yes, I remember that Woody made it a point to include Lennie (not Lenny) Weinrib in his film; it was indeed a tribute to the great comedian when Woody Allen himself played Lennie Weinrib in the film. - Do you like Woody Allen's films?

@@MrMenefrego1 Yes, I do.

I loved the W.C. Fields action of his hands...

[@canadianfortrump4057]

Dick Van Dyke is the only one of the main characters of the show that's still living at the age of 98.

[@susannaCdonovan23]

Almost 99. Remember the show where his parents wanted him to be buried at the family plot and Laura's parents wanted her to be buried at their family plot, and he said the only way to get out of the problem was to live to be 100. So, here, he's almost 100, and married to a woman over 45 years younger. He was cute in the 60's but NOW??? Anyway, he still obviously has charm and still has a full head of White hair.

[@leadchick]

And he's still capable of singing and poking light-hearted fun at himself. He was my first choice as husband material around age 5.

[@docadams7099]

Ritchie (Larry Mathews) is 69 now.

Do you pluck your scalp That's the first time I have seen a bongo with glasses 🤣🤣🤣

[@janetfreedom5437]

Knowing what an incredible egomaniac Alan Brady was, and how difficult he was to work for, it's hard to imagine what Dan Howard could have been like.

[@stevesmodelbuilds5473]

The funny thing is, Dick Van Dyke said Carl Reiner was a good friend and great to work for.

[@ziggy7077]

Jackie brew brew... Absolutely the funniest sketch of all time.

[@bluestrife28]

“Don’t you know who you are?!?” I still say this regularly in my head 30 years later when it applies.

Epic episode! Laughing out loud from beginning through it all!!! 😂😂😂

💯

[@bellerain381]

I showed this episode to my little brother and now he mimics Jackie’s movements all the time and it makes me crack up laughing every time!!

[@davidekstrand8544]

Mel: Well, who’s he? 😐 Jackie: See?Heknowsmealready! 😁 😆

[@NortelGeek]

8:07 Sally says this exact line on "Hi Honey I'm Home" where she guest-starred in 1991. It makes sense if you think about it. Sparrows sing when the sun comes up, but just because they're singing, doesn't mean the sun is rising (something good happening). You may _think_ something sounds good, but that doesn't always prove that it is, in fact, good.

[@fromthesidelines]

Shecky Greene was originally cast as "Jackie Brewster", but couldn't appear when the episode was filmed. Len Weinrib took his place- and also appeared in two more episodes (as variations of the same character).

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally telecast on December 26, 1961. Procter & Gamble {Cheer, Crest, Mr. Clean, et. al.} was the series' full-time sponsor during the first season [in season two, they co-sponsored the show with Lorillard's Kent cigarettes].

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

Jackie Brew Brew was hilarious, I always laugh at his jokes

[@nefaristo]

Who's he?

[@Wonderpattypatty]

Amazing actor!!!!

[@fromthesidelines]

24:09- Of course, Alan found out one was missing the next day and snarled, "Mel, I want it back and OFF YOUR HEAD, or you're *fired!!!"* 😄

I love the one-liners, especially the insult jokes, If I ever want to go to the chair I would have you as my lawyer, sorry I mixed up the sentence

[@adiconstantin4598]

Of all episodes, i remember more this one

[@NortelGeek]

I love it when he chases her doing one of his impressions and she has that "Eeewie!" face and whines, running away from him. 😂

[@jb6712]

"He" chases "her," but without saying which 'he' or which 'her'? Weird.

[@NortelGeek]

@@jb6712 When Rob chases Laura... Are there any other characters in this episode chasing one another while doing impressions? I don't know how you interpreted what I wrote, but it's pretty clear I'm talking about DVD and MTM. I bet you'll find that context is the key to making your life a lot easier, my friend.

He does a great James Cagney impression

[@Buggy-su4oy]

Lennie, Morey and Richard probably cracked up during rehearsal.

[@Wonderpattypatty]

Totally!!! 👍

[@nickpelz4373]

I really wish Lenny Weinrib was in more than 2 DVD Show episodes

[@jb6712]

He was in a 3rd one, but since I have no idea which ones you're referring to, I'll say that one of them is about a (very stupid) "practical" joke he plays on Rob with most of the rest of the cast in on it. The other was him, "Jackie Brewster," playing as a comedian/impersonator on the episode, "The Sam Pomeranz Scandal."

[@funnyprincesshb]

How is Mel Cooley Alan Brady's brother-in-law? In some shows it's mentioned that he married Alan's sister. In others, that Alan married his sister. Is it one or both?

[@lozlover8107]

I think they just forgot and accidentally created a continuity error.

[@funnyprincesshb]

​@@lozlover8107😁

[@micahbush5397]

I think they ended up settling on Alan marrying Mel's sister in later seasons. I think that makes more sense, anyway.

[@katarinakrnjevic8183]

It's a shame that nobody from the cast expect for Mary Tyler Moore had a another successful sitcom.

[@docadams7099]

Morey Amsterdam and Rose Marie were very successful as panelists on The Hollywood Squares from 1966 to about 1980. Jerry Paris had a great career as a director on shows like this one and Happy Days.

[@sandydixon9020]

Why did Rob call her Lori not Laura ?

[@sharksport01]

They sometimes called her Lori in early episodes, I think.

[@MrMenefrego1]

I know, and when someone else calls her "Lori", Rob often corrects them.

[@fromthesidelines]

"Laurie". That's what Rob usually called her in the earlier episodes.

[@elisecooper1942]

My middle name is Lori but my family and friends always calls me Laurie. It's just a play with names. I don't mind. 🙂

And now Dick Van Dyke is a rich, doddering old man. Time marches on with karma.

[@DavidJohnson-dc8lu]

I've never seen this show before, and I really enjoyed that episodes. They should make a modern day revamp of the show, just don't make it too different but neither set in the 60's either (keep the name out of respect). Rob/Robbie Amell. Buddy/Paul Rudd. Sally/Reece Witherspoon, Blake Lively. Mel/ Blake Underwood (the woke bit for people to moan about and get others to watch😉) and Laura/Jenna Dewan.

[@katpoohtoo]

The problem of redoing the show is that it would become garbage because the modern producers would try to please the most gutter aspects of our modern society and the original spirit and family-friendly entertainment would be dumped into the sewage. There is nothing wrong with keeping the original.

[@DavidJohnson-dc8lu]

@@katpoohtoo Very true!

[@sharksport01]

Sally would be trans, Buddy would be pregnant.
