"Do you mind if I change?" "No, go ahead." (different girl comes out)

[@paulpalmtree9295]

Yes, a red head, changes into a blond. Ha ha.

[@Bout_TreeFiddy]

I watched it over and over looking for a wardrobe change!

[@shortmikeshort]

I didn't even... Well, shows you what I was-and wasn't-paying attention to.

[@TheRogueEmpire]

the joke went over my head cuz they both looked the same to me

[@holyassbutts]

How did I not notice this 😂

[@Confused_Philosopher]

The "Is this some kind of bust"? "Yes very impressive". Never gets old. lol

Nice Beaver! Thanks, I just had it stuffed. Let me help you with that.

[@luishumbertovega3900]

The wardrobe guy is great, has a costume ready for every act !!! 😂

[@HansDelbruck53]

The funniest part of this episode is when the squad arrives at the Club Flamingo and the animated sign outside is a guy clubbing a flamingo. One of the best sight gags ever.

[@tommiturmiola3682]

I clicked this video just hoping it would be included. BTW. did anyone else notice those tags hanging from those coats? I'm not sure if i get that joke.

[@andyrob3259]

I only just noticed that 😳😆

[@hugolafhugolaf]

@@tommiturmiola3682 It's because earlier in that episode, they paid a visit to a woman (the ex-con's ex-wife, IIRC) who's running a charity : distributing clothes to the needy. As they talk to her, she asks if she can take their coats, so they think she's being polite and say yes, but she's boxing them to give them away. As they exit her apartement, they're in their underwear. So later in the show, you understand that they had to buy an entire new set of clothes. One of the most subtle gags in the show.

[@Communist-Doge]

I love how many of these comments are in the past few months, I'm glad Police Squad and Naked Gun are still enjoyed so much today.

[@JD-od6jh]

I love Eddie gets pissed off about his past haunting him wearing a State Penn jacket like he's a jock 😂😂

[@BrokenCurtain]

It says "Penn. State" on the front and "State Pen" on his back.

[@greencresset6056]

That got me rolling😅

[@ActuallyJamesS]

"it's like you're branded for life"

[@csidesummit]

It was this many years before I got that joke.

[@ActuallyJamesS]

@@csidesummit Also, “On the Waterfront” is the name of the movie Mimi is saying they saw at the cinema. t’s a classic Marlon Brando film, she’s never claiming they went to the waterfront.

[@JayMaverick]

Remember, the reason their coats still have price tags is that they accidentally donated their old clothes to the lady in a previous scene and had to go buy new ones. 😂

[@hamdanjantan399]

" is this some kind of bust?" " Yes, it is very impressive but we just like to ask a few questions" 😅😅😅😅

Penn State / State Pen

Foreshadowing the past events at PSU.

Simpsons made a similar joke when the kids visit an old prison in season 9: Bart: Here she is. The big house. The stony lonesome. The thug jug. The mobster trap. Penn State. The old crook- Nelson: Shut up. Let's just open the gate.

[@aCivilServant]

Anyone notice the pair of tassels on Mimi's door? 😂

[@davidpayne4310]

I watched this show when it was first broadcast, I own it on DVD and watch it about once a year, and today was the first time I noticed the tassels on MiMi's dressing room door.

She must pick them up on the way out.

[@squidprince2456]

Because in the scene before the ex wife of Eddie took their clothes and they got new one

[@savio807]

"Do you mind if I change?" So epically dumb but HILARIOUS! This show had a genius for "dumb" gags that were anything but! Oh, and "State Penn." Genius. And these eps are so fast-moving, they never become stale.

it took me 5 rewinds to find out she changed haircolor no lie!

[@savio807]

@@pascalpaps3139 It's very subtly pulled off!

Frank's trench coat has a price tag hanging off the right cuff.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Both of their coats have tags.

[@chriscrawford4415]

I never even noticed it the first time I watched this! So funny!

[@BrianRetro]

You know why, don't you? In the previous scene, both Frank and Ed were talking to Eddie's ex wife. She was putting clothes in a box for donations. She asks both Frank and Ed for their coats and she puts them both in the box. There's a little bit containing Frank's narration and they show the ex wife putting clothes in the donation box, mostly dress shirts and pants. At the end of the scene, both Frank and Ed walk out of the apartment in their underwear because those were their clothes she was putting in the box, which explains why their coats have price tags on them at the beginning of this scene.

[@pavlov58]

It's such a shame these kind of comedies aren't made anymore. The amount jokes per scene is ridiculous.

[@Hampton_Doubleday_Jr]

*amount of jokes And these shows are still made - you're just too prejudiced to care.

Very talented actors playing it straight in the greatest comedy show ever produced for TV, anything is posible when there's a great screenplay based on a brilliantly conceived idea. Too bad this was not appreciated as it should have been.

[@cellytron]

Every second of this is fantastic, but I’d never noticed before the guy wearing the Penn State letterman’s jacket and talking about how no one ever lets him forget he was in prison and why can’t a guy get a break 🤣

[@marshnman]

Oh I get it, the title of the movie is "on the waterfront"

[@TheNameOfJesus]

This video is high quality! I don't remember any shows being filmed in HD back in the 1980s.

[@steverobert1]

It was shot on 35mm film. There is a bluray that was released in 2020.

[@TheNameOfJesus]

@@steverobert1 Then 35mm is pretty good quality. It's a shame that so many shows from the 80s are uploaded probably from old VCRs and then compressed with some algorithm that loses so much definition.

[@JayMaverick]

The old film reels were amazing quality. It's the VHS and television recordings that destroyed most of the quality (and aspect ratio). That's why we have some awesome bluray editions of classic movies.

[@oceanwaves95]

Film has no resolution and no pixel density. They can scan and restore old films as high as 6k resolution as long is in good condition.
