The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season 2, Episode 6 - My Husband Is Not a Drunk - Full Episode

[@carolhernandez3591]

When he slapped the telephone after delivering it from his jacket, I just about died. He is amazing.

[@mnperson4161]

The Dick Van Dyke show is some of the greatest entertainment, standing up to the test of time.

[@mrsbluesky8415]

The man was limber as heck. When I saw Mary Poppins as a kid he just amazes me w his dancing and flexibility.

[@lindycorgey2743]

My Sister went to the remake a few years ago. I thought they CGI Dick Van Dyke in the movie. But it was actually him.

[@CamilleGG451]

Yes!! He was obviously born with healthy genes and also has exercised his whole life! 😊💗

[@98talberg]

Really showed when he was the puppet in the box on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

[@HaysTanya]

He stole the show as Bert! "Step In Time" is my favorite part of the movie!

[@MrCJ-qz9dl]

I've always loved Rob and Laura's living room-dining area. But shouldn't the crescent sofa face the other chairs and dining table? even though it is for a live audience?

[@rayhughesman10]

This is one of the funniest shows ever on tv. Incredible cast, great writing, Dick Van Dyke is beyond good. This has got to be one of the funniest episodes ever of any show!

[@APHS-B]

I wish Dick Van Dyke can read these comments. Monumental episode script and comedy play. You just don't frequently watch smth and burst into laughing, like I did. Man I can find no words. TALENT.

[@susannaCdonovan23]

Maybe he does.

[@manueltubens535]

Dick Van Dyke is a comedic genius. This episode had me in stitches and cry from laughing so hard 😂😂

[@marinazagrai1623]

This has to be one of the favorite episodes of the series, where he is truly the star!

[@velvetbees]

I barely remember this episode from when I was in grade school. We watched Dick Van Dyke every week. It was one of the best sitcoms in television history.

[@littleredhairedgirlsteph3922]

Dang! That stand up at the end 😯

[@njlee8785]

This literally was one of my favorite episodes of the series. DVD literally was amazing throughout this episode.

[@osvaldonoda9193]

I just laughed uncontrollably on his acting, my favorite episode

[@Sapphire_007]

Me too, such a delicious laugh I had, so funny, so good!

[@kristabrewer6736]

second favorite!

[@janisyoung9682]

One of the best episodes ever!!! 😂

[@video198712]

I love this episode!!! This one and the Christmas show are my two all time favorite episodes of the Dick Van Dyke show. Dick Van Dyke was great in Mary Poppins, Chitty, Chitty Bang Bang, Diagnois Murder

[@MrMenefrego1]

Dick Van Dyke, is one of the finest physical comedians ever, and at 97, he is a living American treasure and legend! (At 12:10, Where the hypnotist dials the house number to cause the phone to ring, I tried that back in the 60s, but all it gave me was a busy signal)

[@markmaki4460]

Oh how interesting. I remember calling the same phone number i was dialing from (several locations) in the 70s and early 80s. I always got a busy signal and would hang up, but from one location (maybe it was in Phoenix; i am not certain), shortly after i hung up, the phone would ring again, but it would ring twice in close succession, then once as usual, then repeat that sequence until i picked up the receiver, whereupon i would hear only silence. Ah the days before digital technology.

[@MrMenefrego1]

@@markmaki4460 I too lived in the Phoenix area, Glendale, to be exact. Your mention of Pheonix reminded me of when I was a teen in Glendale; I held the phone until the dial tone ceased, then I could hear a girl speaking. We chatted for a bit, then exchanged phone numbers. I called her and we talked, but my family moved back to Illinois before I could pursue it further. Ah, what could have been! lol!

[@76marji]

me bro used to do that to play tricks on us (we lived in a small town, williamsville, ny. he would dial our house #, then hang up really quickly. when it rang, he'd pick it up, then call someone to the phone (to hear nothing).

[@76marji]

🔺 sorry; typos🔺(🔺)

[@13phillip]

It was a timing thing, you had to dial and hang up at precisely the right second, after the call goes through but before it registers that you're calling your own phone. An art unto itself!

[@poetcomic1]

Carl Riener loved this comedy routine of Dick's from early on and worked it into this show. He does a similar routine when he has the flu and has to pretend he's OK in The Death of the Party.

[@76marji]

🤣" death of the party" is my all-time FAVE❣️

[@southernoregoncatmom6519]

​@@76marji-Mine, too.

[@1Bornconfused]

He also does a short similar routine in the pilot episode...a man who comes home drunk but who's trying to hide it from his wife.

[@preetakumar6593]

Laura's 'fourscore and seven years ago...' was a complete surprise lol.

[@dyates6380]

LOL. I honestly forgot how FUNNY this episode was. DVD was AMAZING.

[@76marji]

😂 one o'the BEST episodes! 🤣

[@jimwells3872]

A master of classic comedy.

[@dldove22]

One of my favorite episodes.

[@susannaCdonovan23]

I couldn't stop laughing when he was trying to take off his jacket and the phone rang. Dick van Dyke was a Scream. 😂😅

[@terrythekittieful]

This comedy stands up so well after 60 years. The live audience beats that canned laughter any day. DVD was pre-John Cleese here,

[@cindiharris5580]

I havn't laughed sooo hard in forever!!!!!

[@FM-ft8pe]

20:45 I loved this part 😆

[@johnholtz7801]

Ive watched this episode a thousand times and never realized Glenn will be the insurance agent Laura avoids because of her lie about her age… the other day I was doing dishes listening but not watching and picked up on his voice

[@humphreygruntwhistle3946]

As an alcoholic in real life, Dick knew how to play a convincing drunk.

[@anitagootee8474]

"... somebody stole his bones!" 24:10 😆

[@AlphaBetaDeltaGamma]

Poor Ritchie, never even got his glass of water.

[@moorek1967]

Millie will forever be Grandma Yetta.

[@skyealgleb]

Dick Van Dyke, could play a good drunk and making faces!

[@patttyannhudson]

They said that they didn't mention alot history so it would stand the test of time

[@hermanmunster1054]

Rob never got Richie the water...

[@marinazagrai1623]

He delivered the first glass, before he intercepted the hypnotic suggestion (that was when he drank Richie’s water and acted drunk after the stimulus with the bell) after which he forgot to give Richie the second glass.

[@hermanmunster1054]

@@marinazagrai1623 that's what I said... and it's weird that Richie never complained again isn't it?

[@hermanmunster1054]

@@MrMenefrego1 I understand why you think that, but Rob never gets upstairs with the water. He starts to walk out of the kitchen(*the wrong way but we can ignore that*) but then gets drunk stumbles back in with the glass undelivered and then starts a slapstick routine. Also, thank you. Almost everyone thinks I was in the atom's family. So Annoying!

[@hollybigelow5337]

Actually, he does. It's very subtle, and it doesn't say it outright, but notice at 12:04 he notices that the glass is empty and refills the glass. We cut away and come back, and at 12:14 Rob leaves the kitchen, sober, with a full glass of water, presumably headed to Richie's room. Then at 12:21 he comes back into the kitchen acting drunk, and most importantly no longer carrying a glass of water. It may be very quick, but I'm pretty sure we are supposed to assume that between 12:14 and 12:21 Rob delivered the glass of water to Richie through a back hallway. Keep in mind that TV time is always intended to be interpreted as compressed and edited time. It could be possible for Rob to do something as simple as delivering a glass of water if Richie's door is immediately out of sight in 7 seconds, but if those 7 seconds in real time represent 5 minutes of time in the actual story that wouldn't be unusual. Whenever we hear any story, we know that certain parts are compressed and edited out. Otherwise a story that lasts 24 hours would literally take 24 hours to tell/depict. In this particular case, because the action has to be synchronized with the action in the front room, I tend to lean towards the idea that Richie's door is literally there and it literally did take Rob 7 seconds of story time to deliver the water, but either interpretation is completely reasonable.

[@hollybigelow5337]

@@hermanmunster1054 Do they say that Richie's room is upstairs? I must have completely missed that. I always assumed they had a downstairs, but not an upstairs. I also assumed there was a hallway between the front room and the kitchen that goes behind and that a bathroom and the entrance to Richie's room were on that hallway. It's pretty clear from several episodes that if you exit to the right you go straight into the garage, so I'm not entirely sure why you are saying Rob turning left out of the kitchen would be the wrong way. I must have missed a lot about the actual layout of the house to have imagined something so different.

[@MichelleMott]

I liked Millie so much, she was hilarious. I never understood her attitude toward Jerry...he was cute, he never treated her bad and never cheated on her. I preferred her hair straight and thick. I hate her short perm.

[@albertinirock4926]

I just had a hypnosis session, it's a fun show, but this is just fantasy!

[@kristabrewer6736]

🙄noooooooooo

Laura Petrie went to Camp Crowder. Mary Richards went to Camp Umwuc.

[@nancyridenour1815]

Jerry & Milly are a sexy couple 😊

[@jb6712]

A fully qualified hypnotist tried to hypnotize me 40 years ago. I was so bored with his attempts, got up and walked out. The only funny part of this episode is the office scene, and that could have carried the whole episode.
