TV's Funniest Moments - Taxi's Christopher Lloyd - Hilarious

[@helpinghal]

I like when he was filling out the application for the test: "Have you ever suffered dizziness, fainting spells or hallucinations?" "Hasn't everybody?" "Mental illness or drug addiction?" "That's a tough choice!"

[@TheCaveman46]

That driver's test bit STILL makes me LOL 😂!

[@valerietaylor9615]

“ What does a yellow light mean”? Whenever I try to quote this, I can never make it to the end. I always crack up.

[@randymillhouse791]

"Drug addiction, or mental illness?" "Well, that's a tough choice."

[@ScienceOfStupidity]

It sucks that Chris didn't start acting earlier. His first role was Taber in "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" when he was already 37 and he was great.

[@robertcleary702]

I think he had a small role in “The Postman Always Rings Twice”.

[@Anne--Marie]

He is wonderful!

[@JiJi-ro1hz]

I was in high school when this aired. The whole school was talkimg about this, the day after this episode.

[@JohnOneill-jf9yj]

He did make something of his life! He invented time travel!

I remember that. God I thought I was going to pee my pants

[@connievino4226]

Me too 😂.

[@casper1918]

Few people can make you smile just by entering the scene. Lloyd as Rev. Jim is one of those. Always made me laugh and still does. That's a pretty good gift to give someone.

[@hotchile12]

I want TAXI TO COME TO TVLAND!!! This is my favorite, favorite, favorite episode!!! I so love this show!

[@albundy6008]

Jim was one of the best sit-com characters ever. His comical mannerisms, his odd-ball outlook on life, and his seemingly endless supply of arcane facts were AWESOME!

[@williambrodala8144]

todd krager great what drugs can do to you! My family have always compared me to Jim back in the day. I guess I'm just a burn out.

[@bryancorts5389]

He is definitely is one of the greats!

[@2ManyGuitars214]

My late father in law had Christopher Lloyd in homeroom when he taught at Staples High School in Westport, Connecticut. He remembered him as a handsome, quiet kid. Who knew that years later he would have us all rolling on the floor with his brilliant comedic chops?

[@ogiecruz8063]

I remember the whole family can't wait the next week to watch Taxi back then. We all burst out loud laughing at every Jim's scenes

[@MGMLV]

What a great episode!! Taxi was the best!

[@valerietaylor9615]

Taxi was good, but MASH was the greatest sitcom in the entire history of television.

[@sknyrd77]

THE single funniest moment Iv'e ever seen on any comedy show!

[@1bountifulinc]

This program should have been counted as the best instead of Seinfeld.

[@madbrowniac7871]

Absolutely! Picking up where "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" left off with among others James L. Brooks this Sitcom paved the way for "Cheers", "Frasier", and "Wings." An astonishing Trifecta!🤔😂🎤🚖🗽⚾️👨‍🎓🛫📺B.W.

[@selfan4evr]

"Taxi" is definately one of the classic tv shows of all time, along with "All In The Family", "Three's Company", "W.K.R.P. In Cincinnati", "M*A*S*H*", and "Cheers". Loved them ALL back in the day! Memories!

[@HeatherSpoonheim]

I like you, but you make me feel old.

[@PinkAmadeus]

selfan4evr You forgot Soap and Barney Miller

[@cactibacti]

+PMO. Yes! I remember SOAP.

[@2degucitas]

selfan4ev I was too busy with my life to watch Taxi back then. Should I binge wstch now?

[@albundy6008]

2degucitas I highly recommend it.

[@iamteelynn]

this had to be the best one out of the series.I can still remember my dad and uncle laughing until they cried

[@johnstrausbaugh3472]

Still the funniest things I have ever watched on t.v.. Jim getting his drivers license. CLASSIC

[@joycew1560]

John Strausbaugh lol yup

[@ddrtv1220]

One of the funniest characters ever and his talent for making us cry with laughter is forever ours to simply bust out laughing!!

[@genkatqltr737]

When I saw that license test question episode I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe and cried. Like being tickled too much! Seeing it out of context, though, causes it to lose a lot of the hilarity.

[@berklymiller919]

Without a doubt, one of the FUNNIEST shows EVER! MeTV or AntennaTV or SOME channel needs to pick this show up and rerun it again!😅

[@mdb831]

Tony Danza trying not to laugh is great

[@djross95]

The funniest TV scene of all time, bar none. "What does ...."

[@johnm8096]

Archie’s eulogy of Stretch Cunningham is classic as well.

[@bobstewart5943]

That was such a great show and that scene was classic!

[@bluzeplayer]

There is a DVD box set, but it only has three seasons, and I distinctly remember episodes where Latka and Simka were getting married, and those episodes are not in the first three seasons, what gives? My favorite comedy and favorite music, hands down. This was the golden moment of television.

[@creekriot]

Great stuff guys! My wife & I watched that one & then several others. Thanks for the heads up! The one "Jim Snorts a Brownie" was funniest of 'em all.

[@JoeltheSwedishDragon]

Chris Lloyd for the win! One of the best comedians and actors ever!

[@garystewart8809]

"SOMEONES GOTTA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DOOR"...GREAT MOMENTS

[@cindyrook1189]

Tony Danza and Jeff Conaway gave it up at the end! Hilarious! :)

[@rosss1959]

I remember I was in the Air Force when I first saw this. Me and my roommate watched Taxi every night. When we saw the episode with Jim taking his driver's test, (what does a yellow light mean?) we were both on the floor ...literally holding our stomachs. One of those laughs where you want to stop because your stomach is hurting from laughing SO hard!!!

[@jond1965]

Man I was a young kid when I saw this. I could not stop laughing for an hour...priceless!

[@marceibel1131]

Christopher Lloyd is really one of a kind. Great.

[@Markus_Andrew]

I like how Jim keeps looking down at his paper to remember what color light he has to ask about 😄

[@gaoutlaw]

Great scene! I read that while filming this, Marilu Henner kept driving a pencil into her hand to keep from bursting out laughing

[@ingriddubbel8468]

"What does a yellow light mean?" Too damn funny

[@E.Michael]

In my opinion, that scene of Jim taking his drivers license test is one of THE FUNNIEST SCENES OF ANY TV COMEDY SHOW.

[@MercuryMay94]

Best character ever! He's so adorable :)

[@rollotomasi8116]

One of the absolute best written shows with the best cast......hilarious comedy action.....Reverend Jim was perfect.....

[@screwyootube1]

How is this not #1, or at least top 10???

[@MitchellHang]

This special (presumably) involved clips from SEVERAL TV shows that were ranked by how funny they were. If Taxi had its own ranking for funniest clips in the series, this clip would definitely be number one.

[@screwyootube1]

No shit!

[@rpool5874]

I remember watching this as a teen (stoned) falling on the floor laughing.

[@valerietaylor9615]

I imagine that made it extra funny.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Boy I use to watch this show every night! Jim use to make the show including Danny devito hahahaha

[@pandroidgaxie]

After three years on air, shows go into syndication so networks could rerun them and get audiences in an afternoon/early evening time slot. The original show got money from the syndication. That's how Star Trek became popular, even though the show had already ended. Watching them at 3, 4, 5 or 6pm every day.

[@Cml725]

Oh my gosh! That really WAS hilarious. LOL

[@SuperZytoon]

The funniest clip from the entire series!

[@Dulcebelladela]

oh boy! this is dangerous for me. I just had a surgery on my belly but I can't stop laugthing watching this.

[@dickbuelow8968]

This is unbelievably funny

[@philaman1972]

This clip is 30+ years old and I still laughed. Greatness.

[@sterling2233]

I still remember when Jim Ignatowski was an arrogant, uptight, self-absorbed college student - and was instantly and hilariously transformed into a "space case" by tasting a lady friend's brownies. Screamingly funny. Reverend Jim is and always will be a TV legend... thanks to Christopher Lloyd.

[@jerzaw]

just the very best!!!!!!!!!

[@Chrille5782]

Happy Birthday Christopher Lloyd 70 today!

[@racer1969]

What does a yellow light mean? One of the funniest tv clips of all time. Fast forward to 1 min and 8 sec

[@Katie12886]

Funny that Christopher and Tony both were in this show together and then starred in Angels In The Outfield together

[@abrahamwashington1]

+Katie12886 It's funny when things like that happen to pass almost makes it seem like there really AREN'T that many actors in acting period in a way.

[@sportsygirl8]

+Katie12886 Yeah, I know. When I found out that Tony Danza was in this show as well as Angels In the Outfield I was like wow that is pretty cool that they were on the same show together and then later down the road were in a movie together. I love Angels In the Outfield. Also, another thing I found out, never watched Spin City, but someone told me that Christopher Lloyd guest starred on that show and the reason why I mention it is that Michael J. Fox was on that show.

[@Fakename70]

Danza isn’t even in character anymore at the end. He’s just standing there laughing.

[@davidwatson5308]

You don't remember your own last name? Well it's been a busy year

[@robertgift6762]

Myvife, from China, became a very goodriver but could not read Engrish well. DMV had me read the test questions to her from the opposite side of the table. She answered the questions A, B, C, D according to which corner of the questionnaire I grasped. Because I am an emergencyehicle driver instructor, she got a respectable 92%!

I have loved Christopher Lloyd for such a long time... and I just found out after doing a DNA test and creating a tree on Ancestry that he is my 9th cousin!!

[@ingdanify]

That's amazing :)

[@selfan4evr]

Gage Cunningham That's pretty cool! You should contact him and set up a meeting.

[@2degucitas]

Gage Cunningham wow

[@kshinokevin]

Gage, you are Doc Brown's cousin

[@lsusmuggler]

Every body is 9th cousins to everyone else

[@sportsygirl8]

#24 was really funny!!! I loved it. Especially when he would slow down each time he was given the answer of slow down.

[@graceskerp]

It was Lloyd's look of frustration. Key to great comedy -- be serious in ridiculous situations

[@sportsygirl8]

Grace Skerp His look of frustration is exactly what made that scene so funny!!! Christopher Lloyd has some very classic facial expressions throughout Taxi and the many movies he's been in.

[@SirMoMo1680]

One of the top three supporting characters in all of sitcom history!!

[@DF-cc5im]

I don't ever stop laughing at that..

[@FallenAngel1508]

hahhahhahaha my mom told me to look this up, glad i did! hilarious :)

[@dustyblue2ify]

What.........does.......a ..............yellowwwww.................light...........................mean.....🤣

[@austinreid8203]

As an Englishman who watches lots of American comedy I'm fed up being told the Americans have no sense of humour.really,I think this scene is as funny as any scene recorded by British or American tv.i watched taxi in the 70s and its actually funnier than I remember it.good job America.

[@TedTalksBass]

these were the days. this tv. this has hot to be the finniest moment ever

[@deesplaylists6941]

The driving test scene tops them all. Lol.

[@WieldingEminator]

He was getting his license to operate the Delorian. Obviously, it took a while.

[@sportsygirl8]

+Wielding Eminator Good one! :) Not only that, but he moved and changed his name to Doc Brown...lol.

[@eligebrown8998]

😂😂😂😂

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

👋🤣👍nailed it!

[@philipmiller9787]

Best ever

[@arthurgamez9436]

So funny. Taxi was one of my favorite shows.they don't make sitcoms like that anymore.

[@TokoGT]

yes, i think the whole series is out on DVD now, my uncle owns seasons 2 and 3 ^^ beautiful quality too

[@DBMe33]

When it was running, I assumed a show abt taxi drivers wouldnt be funny so I never bothered to watch. Years later, I watched the show once bc there wasnt anything else on - it was still the 3-4 channel era. Found out it was a great show. Loved it every since.

[@timothyantoine914]

I remember Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito the first time I seen them in one flew over the Cookoos Nest .

[@kickerpunter]

i love these old shows. I wish i could have been alive to see them when they were new. unfortunately i was born in the 90s, sucks.

[@bombdiggity8179]

Love it! Awesome video! Can't wait to see what else you guys come out with.

[@_maryade]

"what does the yellow light mean??? " lmao

[@broncolady4ever]

ICAM!! Thank God for TV channels such as Me-TV, Antenna TV and RTV (Retro TV), which show nothing BUT these great old sitcoms and classic drama series, such as "The Untouchables", "Mission: Impossible" and "Route 66", along with "Taxi", "The Dick Van Dyke Show", "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", and "WKRP in Cincinnati", just to name a few! I REALLY appreciate those channels in the summer, when everything else is on hiatus!

[@eligebrown8998]

Taxi was awsome. The driver lisance seen was sooo funny. A friend of mine and myself were laughing so hard we were crying. My mom comes in and was like o no whats wrong? She thought we wee upset about something till we showed her. She joined in.

[@rizon406]

Great Scott !!!

[@terencehikawai2938]

Still makes me laugh cry.. 🤣🤣🤣

[@vccstudents]

ABC canceled "Taxi" to put Leslie Nielsen and "Police Squad" on the air. NBC picked up "Taxi," but they canceled it after Judd Hirsch won an Emmy the next year. ABC canceled the forerunner to "the Naked Gun" as well in less than a season.

[@magicalmysteryollie]

Great Scott!

[@JoeL-zi2zd]

Really touching Rev Jim episode when his father dies and leaves Jim a trunk of memorabilia. There is a cassette tape of Stevie Wonder singing "You ate the Sunshine of My Life". Jim is confused at first but then realizes it is his father's last message to him.

[@JoeL-zi2zd]

Are, not ate.

[@thebluedragon07]

So can't wait to meet him at Denver Comic Con!!

[@MichaelMMiddleton098]

Classic!

[@magprob]

As far as I am concerned, Christopher Lloyd is a national treasure. His house burned down a while back. I felt so sad for him. I hope he and his family have found home again. Thank you Mr. Lloyd.

[@Sereniama]

ITS DOC@!!! HES STILL ALIVE!

[@namepoc]

HAHA can't stop laughing at this

[@Mechanodroid]

What kind of skills? That's the man who invented time travel!

[@sandyferber7616]
