Longest Laugh - Dick Van Dyke

[@tommyt1971]

If you watch closely, you can see that Greg Morris who plays Mr Peters is trying not to laugh for real when he hands the the tray to Rob. THAT's the hallmark of a truly funny sitcom scene!

[@zanti4132]

Totally in character, however. The Greg Morris character knew full well that Rob was making a ridiculous mistake. The natural reaction would have been to try not to laugh too hard. Later on in the scene, Rob asks him sheepishly, "Why didn't you tell me over the phone?," to which he responds, "And miss the look on your face?"

[@kimberlyn.2096]

This was Dick Van Dyke's favorite episode. A few seconds later Rob says to Mr. Peters "Why didn't you tell me?" and Peters says "And miss the look on your face?" LOL!!!!! By far one of the top 5 episodes of this brilliantly-written show.

When she was discharge from the hospital, even her regular clothes were baggy!

Yes, that was supposed to be Morris's reaction, in the script. The rest of the scene, is DVD asking why "didnt you tell me", and Morris says, wanted to see the look on your face.

Even musicians like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Chuck berry, and virtually all the rest always looked immaculately dressed in proper suits. Bad dress and lack of education was frowned upon from what I can see, because they viewed it as tantamount as going back to slavery. Education was very different then. Education began to decline in the 70s. Until then it was a sad thing for a person to be ignorant. Even the ghetto gangster moniker wasn't prevalent until the 80s when rap made it popular. Before that, gangster meant mob. To be quite simple, before the late 60s it was pretty much wierd to not be dressed in a suit on a regular basis, just like the hundred years previous. Casual and blue collar clothes had its place. My information may be horribly wrong, so if you find any discrepancies within my comment, please let me know. Other than that, your marvel is very much appropriate. According to the creator of the dvd show, Carl Reiner, the dvd show was the first to say the word pregnant. The show is a classic.

***** People used to dress up...even to go shopping or to the movies. Unfortunately, sloppiness in this country has become 'the norm'.

+Matthew Coyne I agree with you in that back then Americans did NOT view the average Black couple as equals, as proudly seen here I believe that is also what you are implying The writers were showing that a Black couple can be the same as the Petres and that they were welcomed into their home as if it were common to have middle classed Black families visiting whites in a white neighborhood

[@shaneturner500]

The Dark Angel this was new York City, not Georgia. In new York City in the early sixties, the Bronx was more diverse, segregation was almost non existent with the exception of restricted country clubs and incorporated prefab areas like Levittown, and even the Democrats saw the blacks as equals. It is essential to understand that segregation was mainly a southern problem, as the south were the ones defending slavery with a childlike manner. While racism was prevalent, new York in general was and is extremely liberal. So it is of no surprise to me that the dick van dyke show, a new York show, showed a black family as equal to the petrie family.

***** segregation was not just a southern problem or should i really say discrimination you are wrong democrats in the 60's didn't see Blacks as equals, they were still fighting for rights in different ways and still discriminated against even at the voting poles many instances. you speak from what you know in the large cities like NY that have melting pots of over crowded people's thrown together I am speaking about all the other cities and towns and in the 60's in most places you did not find a Black well educated middle class Black family in or near a White middle class neighborhood Blacks certainly were not making enough money to be in that economic bracket ALSO in my reference should have been that the representation of educated non stereotyped Black people was virtually non existent on American TV cept for maybe Bill Cosby on I Spy who recvd tons of bigoted hate mail each week and Nat King Cole

Everyone had a good laugh and everyone was gracious about it. That would never happen today.

[@vincentconti3633]

Don't be silly..the world is not going to hell...could be you have problemas... always look on the bright side of life... imagine whistling!

[@markrichards6863]

It's still hilarious, and wholesome.

[@palientologist]

A lot of old stuff didn't age well but this is honestly still funny today.

[@cmvogt5951]

Greatest Sitcoms in History, Esspecialy Laura which is the Late Mary Tyler Moores she saids "Oh Rob." alot.

[@johnrwhite4479]

I remember so well seeing this when it first aired hillarious!

[@keithwilson6060]

This cut before the Peter’s revealed that they knew were aware of the comical mistake the whole time. Mr. peters said he wanted to see the look on Rob’s face when they showed up. That makes the scene even funnier.

[@frankmcgowan3371]

I believe that’s Barney from Mission Impossible. I’m 75 and can’t remember why I just came in the room but can remember a tv character from 40 years ago😂😂😂

[@josephthomas2226]

brilliant! and way ahead of its time

[@dianemelick2393]

I watched that episode back in the day loved it classically the best❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pankajbiswakarma1640]

Came from Wanda vision they really did good research on this show.... well remake

[@peggyl2849]

I still re-watch reruns of this show. This is SUCH a funny episode. There are so many - Unhy Uftz and The Ghost of A Chantz come to mind, but there is not a bad or boring episode. A great ensemble cast, great writing - a great show. I had to edit and add the one with the inflatable boat that comes in the mail.

[@mescko]

Uhny Uftz is in my top 5 along with Chantz.

[@CaitieLou]

I haven't seen the episode, but I assume Dick heard the name Peters somewhere at the hospital but never saw them, and some shenanigans occurred in the newborn baby ward which made him believe his baby got switched with the Peters'.

[@rmhartman]

Yep, a couple of deliveries got swapped between "Peters" and "Petrie".

[@DennyClark-es9qw]

This was my favorite episode of all. I still laugh out loud.

[@fromthesidelines]

From the opening episode of season three, "That's My Boy??" [September 25, 1963]; Greg Morris is the father. Executive producer Sheldon Leonard and producer Carl Reiner had to convince CBS to let them film this climax, because the network was wary of how viewers might react to the "surprise"....

[@Goatboysminion]

I think this might have been the last episode of this show I ever saw. In the 70s, being rerun for the tenth time. I laughed like buggery at this. They were such a great couple. Bye Mary.

[@joey_bonin]

What a great gag.

[@jsusna1972]

As soon as I read the title, I knew exactly which episode it was. This was before Mr. Peters joined the Impossible Mission Task Force. (Greg Morris played Barney Collier on the TV series, "Mission Impossible.")

[@anthonycaruso8443]

I remember it.Great moment.

[@community1949]

You see? See how civil and polite things used to be? God how I miss those days when people actually were careful how they acted.

[@julianskinner3697]

Wonderful show but not everything was sweetness and light in 1963.

[@stephenagosto6198]

This episode, and Laura getting her toe stuck in the bathtub faucet. Every male in America saw it in their minds and nearly died!
