Night Court - Dan and the Dummy

[@mischiefmakerstudios9900]

This gag never gets old.

[@marieruiz5696]

Love this scene, "is he gone"!!??

[@tj921able]

That look that Dan has is when the dummy speaks is absolute gold! Too funny!

[@lonniefox4420]

One of my favorite shows ever

[@aspalovin]

What a great show. Dan was my favorite for sure. It was one of those shows that got it's legs a few seasons in and ran til (close) to the end. I would stay up to watch it and Cheers as a young teen on late night syndication after the 11 o'clock news. Good times. Thumbs up for Phil!

[@Randy-ry9ss]

RIP Harry and Markie.

[@jayanxiety]

At around this time everybody realized that Dan was the "breakout" role on the show. I remember laughing hysterically at this scene where the Dummy talks and it takes Dan a few seconds to realize how unreal it all is!

[@FrogworfKnight]

More than that, he takes a moment to confirm that the guy is gone, waits a few seconds THEN gets it.

[@FomorViceroy]

Yup, definitely. Larroquette was at the start of his four-year Emmy streak for this role. This would've been the season he won his second. This was also about the time when the show began it's surreal, almost cartoon-ish humor. The show didn't care how absurd a punchline or a situation was. All it wanted to do was make you laugh like hell and it really did.

[@dfangirl72]

@@FomorViceroy i have the 1st season on dvd harry anderson say's he wasn't comfortable being the "star" the lead he gladly let larroquette be the one that made everyone laugh their tuckus off .

[@MojoPup]

Great comedic timing!

[@jayanxiety]

@@MojoPup He was the sitcom version of JR Ewing from Dallas. He was written as the "bad guy", but played him as a protagonist that the audience could outwardly despise, but deep Down we would root for.

[@walterengler5709]

One of the greatest scenes .. and reminds me so much of stories where things get dark with such items ... lol

[@reneejones5705]

The funniest part of this episode is when the duumy throws himself off the ledge in front of the ventriloquist!🤣🤣🤣

[@klongyawseven9118]

Yep....I wish someone would post that clip...

[@jayfalcon75]

The voice of the dummy sounds like George of Otto and George the ventriloquist act. Hilarious, dark humor. Miss you Otto

[@Rendezvous70]

Come on Netflix/ amazon where is night court ! We're waiting

[@DOGSNDOLPHINSRAWESOME]

Freevee

[@andresrios9855]

Like they even need it.

[@taitano12]

Oh, the pranks one can do with remote control. I can picture the Ventriloquist going around the corner and asking "Is he gone?" while making the mouth move remotely.

[@thebluemorpho6640]

Mr. L took the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy series 4 years in a row for this role. :-)

[@jasonsmith8300]

and it might have been five but i think said he didnt want to be nominated

[@ytafan4068]

This was when Harry meets Buddy and Bull gets a dummy version of himself.

[@Slopmaster]

I hope Richard Moll got to take that puppet home.

[@jeffreycarrow8584]

@@Slopmaster cant believe they are doing the show without bull should pay him what ever he wants to come back

[@terilayne]

Awww, my daddy!

[@jacksagrafsky4936]

Is he gone? A second or so later. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@anthonyreed3682]

It's even funnier that Dan answered then freaked LOL.

[@badvegan]

It's 35 years later, and I still laugh at this clip and most of the funny moments in the show. I know a lot of it didn't age well,, particularly some of the things Dan said and did, but it's still funny as hell. The show gives me such warm nostalgia.

[@nicomeklrowing5935]

The things Dan said and did stayed just as funny. A lot of people have forgotten what humour is, and how to laugh.

[@kryer981]

@@nicomeklrowing5935 You'll notice in the "reboot" there have been no hookers, flashers or raunchy humor. That's where a lot of the humor in the original series came from and why there's not as much humor in the reboot.

[@richardharmon647]

That is too funny

[@jeffreycarrow8584]

just found you on you tube going through the old episodes i bet jeff dunham loved this episode hope they can arrest him and walter and the guys and bring them on the new show bring them on as the kids of thedummy that died in this episode thanks for the clips

[@dwightdodd3734]

Dan was spectacular !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nobody could have taken his place.................

[@derricklafrance9724]

For some reason I liked Dan Fielding the best. Same way as Herb Tarlek and Frank Burns.

[@jeffgalus8454]

The difference between Dan, Herb, and Frank us Dan when he wants to be he can have humans feelings

[@FomorViceroy]

Dan referenced this dummy on one of the new episodes of Night Court. He told Judge Abby Stone that a dummy committed suicide by jumping out of the window of Harry's office.

[@howardgrounds5923]

Come on. We'd all piss ourselves

[@floridaboz1]

Piss myself? I think i would strait up have heart failure

[@heidivert830]

It would be nice to have the original night court on netflix

[@Brees1986]

Wasn’t it Bull hiding around the corner throwing his voice?

[@vassa1972]

Great stuff

[@nicholasregan6526]

LMAO

[@dwlopez57]

Poor Rheinholt

[@sha11235]

Can you imagine Jeff Dunham in this episode?

[@jeffreycarrow8584]

[@willminkorea2010]
