As a kid, I almost pissed my pants from laughing when that night gown flew right back into his face. The timing, the weird sound, and his annoyed face just make it all so perfect
It's a reference that kind of dates the gag; at the time of the film, the Reagan Administration and Republican Senate was working to slash funding for things like mental hospitals.
It's a joke: Reagan "cured" the country's mentally ill by closing down asylums/mental hospitals and putting the patients all out on the streets. A large fraction of them wound up in prisons, which wasn't an improvement for anyone. Just like Reagan "cured" HIV -- by pretending it didn't exist.

I know what you mean, well not the almost pissing my pants part
Doesn’t the gown come back at him from another direction?
Always wondered how many takes it took to get the hospital gown to land on his head the right way...
Anyone else get a good chuckle/laugh whenever they see the sign saying "Ronald Reagan Mental Hospital"😉😁🤣?
“We cure people the old fashioned way” …love it 🤣
And you know how underfunded it gets
Oh the song is " Love boat" :D

For some reason on AMC, the pitch is a little low.
