Monk Investigates San Francisco Blackout | Monk

[@HannahHamilton-vu8eg]

"Turn the lights off, I'll have a better advantage" Lol also the scene where the lights go out "Ow, mom he's squeezing my hand" "Benjy just endure it, it's Monk" "When will it be over?" I'm going to into the kitchen n find a candle n look, the lights will go back on"

[@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954]

Monk tapping the gauge with his pen is just funny to me.😅 Also, I will never not laugh at Monk toying with the bad guy in this.😂

Hahaha typical monk, somebody is breaking into your house but you are looking for a broom

[@Chugargonfan]

If the light turned on with those goggles on he’d be blinded

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Would he? Would a device that lets you see a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation outside of the visible spectrum necessarily amplify the wavelengths within the visible spectrum?

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

@@KZbinallowedmynametobestolen What wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum are you talking about? Infrared? Can't be, or the people would be significantly brighter than the furniture (due to being hotter). This look very much like light _amplification_ to me.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@Wolf-ln1ml Well, the first hit on got on Google for "What wavelength night vision" said this: "Active infrared night-vision combines infrared illumination of spectral range 700-1,000 nm (just over the visible spectrum of the human eye)." I don't think it's safe to assume that we are seeing an accurate rendering of what things would look like with night vision googles.

[@Vsor]

@@KZbinallowedmynametobestolen Yea, it can damage the tube too. They are light amp devices, that can see into the IR. That makes IR useful for illumination that the naked eye cant see, but it isn't the only thing the nightvision picks up on.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@Vsor Thanks for that elucidation.

[@Fifury161]

So the house goes "dark", but not that dark and Monk still manages to walk into furniture? I can't believe someone that compulsive doesn't know where his own furniture is positioned and wouldn't be able to walk around in complete darkness without incident....

[@loolrend1248]

It's "TV darkness". It's completely dark for the characters in the show, but nobody wants to just be looking at a black screen so they have dim lights on the set.

[@Fifury161]

@@loolrend1248 I get that it's "TV darkness" - I can't believe someone that compulsive doesn't know where his own furniture is positioned and wouldn't be able to walk around in complete darkness without incident though....

[@avelukov]

@@Fifury161 Monk was disoriented and not thinking straight. He muttered "lobby" in his living room like when he was stuck in the elevator continuously pressing the button for the lobby. He had to be carried out from said elevator.

[@cloudstalker8956]

Monk is afraid of the dark hence the panic

[@robynmorita8207]

I hope they also fired that 911 dispatcher. They *HUNG UP* on the guy. They honestly couldn’t hear the freakin bulldozer?!? I’m sorry but that part really ticked me off.

[@ewenmee7505]

Reminds me of The Silence Of The Lambs hunt for Buffalo Bill (played by Ted Levine) and the use of night vision goggles.

[@Fifury161]

I was about to comment the same - I was waiting for a scene with Captain Stottlemeyer - the same actor that played Buffalo Bill!

[@robertaphelps]

I thought same .

[@apoorvbisht08]

I think you're mistaking me for anybody else lol🤣

[@Alastair_Ulven]

Honestly my thought for why they wouldn't blind him is that maybe the goggles have a safety mechanism built in. That prevents it from getting to bright.

[@Iwishihaddonethisbefore]

This is an old reply but newer models do indeed have such protections. Sadly Tech has advances so far that you cab no longer blind them by turning on thr lights.

[@carlost856]

The safety mechanisms is that the screen in the goggles can only output so much brightness, they'll just go white.

[@emilyford3540]

DISPATCH HUNG UP ON THE TREE GUY?!

[@GhostKyng]

11:25 i love that 🫤🫠 he made

[@scottmcshannon6821]

and for a moment randy was smarter than monk.

[@slake9727]

Randy was smarter than Monk in New York City when the ambassador was murdered.

[@blackguyofthesouth2161]

​@@slake9727not really, remember he bought a fake watch and also Monk was there for Trudy so he wasn't all there and then he was still able to find the perp based on seeing his ear once.

[@captainkirrahe]

Man, for all his eccentricities, Monk had some serious rizz with the ladies.

[@musarratchowdhury3578]

I need those night goggles😂

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

Me too! Light ampllification goggle that _still_ let you see normally when the lights are back on... 😂

[@keithbannister9271]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Jokie155]

Sterling Archer's own use of the NV goggles to get around the ISIS office always reminds me of this scene.

[@sammiepittman3130]

😂😂 “JESUS THE GOGGLES!”

[@weneedaladder8384]

I like the "OAT" brand construction equipment.

[@charlesbronson2926]

They're playing it as a joke, but if 911 actually hung up the phone on someone cause they didnt like tree huggers

[@monstrixmonstrousx2842]

2:48 !🤣🤣!

[@ggr1zz]

So why didn’t monk get blinded when the lights turned on? Night vision goggles amplify light but he didn’t notice any change.

[@toddkes5890]

New version that auto-reduces if ambient light is high enough? Now the sealing around the eyes that didn't let in the light is the amazing part

[@weneedaladder8384]

They're designed not to blind the user when lights get turned on. Think about it, they're used in combat situations. If someone fires a gun and the optics immediately blind their user from the muzzle flash then they're pretty much useless. That's not to say you wouldn't notice the lights being turned on, but you wouldn't actually be blinded by them.

[@ggr1zz]

@@weneedaladder8384 interesting. I always wondered about that.

[@sandrawilson6031]

I loved the part with the hard hat. 😂😂😂😂

[@dmf1301]

Lol… Monk is not at all worried about what he looks like in the hat! Lol 😛

[@erikeippel]

Monk's mind is a control freak (but good one)...controlling the lights was always assumed to be only under his control..

[@markbigelow2608]

The house lights would blind him.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Would they? Would a device that lets you see a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation outside of the visible spectrum necessarily amplify the wavelengths within the visible spectrum?

[@Rarazan]

at least they could made light dimmer, its too bright there to stumbling like that and those googles would make eyes bleed with lights turned on suddenly

[@blacktimhoward4322]

I'm reasonably sure that the police do not hang up on people who call saying "someone is trying to kill me"

Michelle def fan-girling over Monk. Probably didn't even realize that she was 100% into him.

[@EdwardTCBlake]

Pretty ridiculous that Monk didn't notice the lights come on

[@DanielLCarrier]

It would make sense if he's using the kind with an infrared flashlight and camera (which I don't think he is), and also if he has fluorescent or LED lighting that doesn't illuminate everything in infrared (which he clearly doesn't).

[@douglasyoung6238]

why isn't this the whole episode?

They’re not going to post full episodes on KZbin for free lol

[@regional1000]

If a 911 call was placed no way the operator would hang up. The operator would be charged if they did that

[@mitchtheronin1469]

It was. It was brighten up for the viewer only

[@JohnDoe-zw8vx]

😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing but realized they did it for the viewer watching. The lack of reaction from Monk when the lights came back on did irk me

"Are you Adrian monk" "Yes" you screwed up monk you know they only ask that because they are fans of you. You can not get out of it by saying they are mistaken.
