Lost In Space - Dr Smith insulting the Robot

The many insults from Dr. Smith to the robot...enjoy

[@tuttt99]

I heard that Jonathan Harris kept a notepad on his nightstand, and whenever he thought of a good alliterative insult (usually around bedtime) he would write it down for use later on the show.

[@strmchsr63]

Yep! Dat poor robot. And the robot was usually the one proved right during the argument 😉🤖

[@kevinhoffman8112]

Harris said he actually lost sleep because he would lay there at night thinking of additional insults to use towards the robot.

Heard the same & it was great slapstick-like comedy.

[@domtaylor1887]

No offence to Gary Oldman or Parker Posey, who are both fine actors, but Jonathan Harris is the best version of Dr. Smith.

[@mjp96]

nobody can remake this show. waste of time!

[@SHADOWNINE79]

Completely agree

[@fjccommish]

They were awful as Doctor Smith, especially on WOKE in Space.

Lugubrious laggard was my favorite insult. Another great example of using advanced vocabulary. Something no longer available on free TV these days.

I used Love Lost in Space when A kid And laughed so much when Dr Smith insults the robot

[@mr-mz4ed]

i never knew the reason smith insulted him was to keep him "down" because dr smith knew the robot was dangerous and might give him away( in harris interview)

[@laurenceschwartz8606]

Back on earth, Dr. Smith had a sideline business. He smuggled pilfered paintings from the Louvre.

[@beekbeeker2907]

Without dr smith there would have been no show!!!!

[@minhthunguyendang9900]

Hold on ! If the show was exclusively ‘bout Dr. Smith, it would be negative nonsense, the other positive characters were there to rescue him ! I liked Guy Williams’ character in ‘West of Mars’ where he saved Dr. Smith from his own murderous gunslinging doppelgänger !

[@MD-md4th]

It would have been better if the robot came back with a few: “Stick it you Babbling Bug-chaser!” Or: “Drop dead you Malingering Mo!”

I was watching a documentary on KZbin that featured Jonathan Harris talking about the robot and Harris said when he went to bed, he come up with the different insults to say. I believe it. 😂. One insult I remember is him calling the robot a kackling Cracker Barrel 😂🤣 I think that’s what he called the robot. Ya know, I didn’t like the dr smith in the 1998 movie Lost in Space. Hearing Jonathan Harris say “the pain, the pain” was more convincing than hearing that other actor say it.

[@lisasmith8554]

Could never watch any of the Lost in Space movies. Original cast can't be replaced especially Jonathan Harris

[@strmchsr63]

@@lisasmith8554 oh I know. I STILL remember insults like “bubble headed booby” and “cackling Cracker Barrel!” 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 and when smith said them he was SO GOOD at it. The character who played smith in the movie DID NOT have Jonathan’s personality. The other insult that Jonathan said to the robot was “you better mind your manners if you want to keep your friends”

There was no one else who could be Dr Smith than Harris.

No one, ever: "Hey you know who this reminds me of? Parker fucking Posey"

[@aardwolf6668]

Wow...I started watching the Netflix version of this and absolutely hated Dr. Smith because they turned him into an uncharismatic, pure evil with no redeeming qualities woman and now I'm kinda sad because seeing the original...if they had tried to be more faithful to the character, she would have been a reason to keep watching instead of the main reason I never want to watch anything from Lost in Space again. X.X

[@fredini]

Totally disagree- Parker Posey's Dorctor Smith was a genius reimagining, and had the show gotten another season or two, I think she would have had a redemption moment

[@tomkelly1442]

What a genius

[@thomasmulhall4873]

[@paultheaudaciousbradford6772]

The phrase “nattering nabobs of negativism” was uttered (in September of 1970) by then Vice President Spiro Agnew toward members of the liberal press whom the VP felt were unfair to the Nixon administration. Agnew delivered the line, but it had been written for him by speechwriter William Safire. There is no evidence that Safire got the expression from Dr. Smith - although Safire had spent most of the ‘sixties “lost in space” and may have heard some things from Smith that were never broadcast to viewers of the show.
