I ran into Mr. Haney (Pat Buttram) at a Whole Foods market in 1988 give or take a year. He couldn't have been nicer. He could not stop talking about Green Acres and even gave me a few good stories of Arnold Ziffle.
I enjoy watching retro TV stations nowadays. Those 50s and 60s shows sure are different as I watch them as an adult. Mr. Buttram shows up on so many of those shows. He almost always plays rural types. Great characters and writing.
Some of the things that cracked me up about Green Acres were Oliver's wearing three-piece suits to do farm work and the quality of work (like the masonry on their fireplace) the Monroe Brothers did. A classic moment was when Oliver tried to impress upon someone the quality of the house's construction. Declaring "That's solid oak!" he stamped his foot on the floor and crashed through it.
Mrs. Douglas every time I see you it reminds me of a speckled hen sitting in a little green wagon. OMG I am seriously laughing so hard I'm in tears. This show is priceless.
I knew people like Mr Haney growing up and stayed as far away from them as possible!!!! I never bought a truck or car from then either!!! They were fun to talk too...and I learned a lot...but you had to watch your back around them!!!!😊
Oliver should have sent away for the biggest double wide trailer they could get and live in it while they Renovate his house. Apparently it took till they where elderly to get it done if you go by the show return to Green achers. They could have give the double wide to Ed and his wife when there house was done.
@@luthermcgee3756 Yes Luther.. .really.. .check it out: "On September 9, 1942, Albert enlisted in the United States Coast Guard and was discharged in 1943 to accept an appointment as a lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the pilot of a Coast Guard landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire.[9]"
Their outdoor shower system is like what Betty Jo and Steve Eliot had at their cottage. Makes ya wonder how they got clean during winter. LOL. Glad I watched this new. It is still hilarious.
I bet you that all car sale reps. and politicians from all parties must be trained and graduate from the must have "HANEY COURSE" before they interact with the public. Lol
One episode had this classic give-n-take..... Douglas: How come every time I need something, you just happen to have it on your truck? Haney: Let's look at that another way. How come every time I have something on the truck, you happen to need it?
Yep .that's becoz he always deprives Mr.Douglas of what he needs .he sold a house but removed all furniture .he sold a farm with a Hoyt Clagwell thingamajigee . Alice ,eleanor, I bet they were in on it too ..he creates artificial demand and then provides supply . The biggest salesman of all salesman in the universe .I swear he would have even made money out of Joseph and Mary for the Nativity .. The only thing he didn't expect was there would be a bootleggers still in the basement ..
@@gingergranttech Haney also took over the phone company from Mr. Douglas, and then there was the water outages, that Haney would switch from one resident to another, leaving one resident totally without water.
There's been a lot of screwball characters in shows over the years but you have to put Mr. Haney right up near the top. He could sell snow to an Eskimo.
6:46 The Start of Comedy Genius😂That Hoyt Clagwell Tractor to me is one of the funniest characters on the show😂Just the slightest touch and that Amazing Tractor ALWAYS FALLS APART AND I LAUGH MY ASS OFF EVERY TIME😂Poor Mr. Douglas😂Hell that Tractor can't even pull a Tree Stump out of the ground,but poor Mr. Douglas can pull the Tree Stump out by hand,LMFAO this scene is so FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've never seen the early episodes of the show so it's really interesting to see the way Lisa is acting here in the first episode. Her voice and attitude are very very different. I always wondered why the theme song portrayed her as wanting to live in the city, but in the show she didn't seem to mind living on the farm, aside from wanting to visit New York every now and then.
I took the show far too seriously, as a kid, and I despised Mr. Haney. I felt like Mr. Douglas had the right idea, getting out of the city, and his wife and all the locals tormented him for no reason, or maybe because she didn't want to leave the city. The fact that she and the locals got along great and HE was the stuffy one made the show very frustrating to watch, but I couldn't NOT watch. They might have the magic pig on that episode! Watching as an adult, I now enjoy it on 2 levels, because I remember how I was as a boy, who didn't quite understand most of the humor in the situation. Now, I watch it and I think "He's rich. Why's he so upset? If he weren't such a stuffed shirt, he'd build a mansion for Mr. Haney and have him over to tell lies at dinner! "More potatoes, Mr. Haney? Have some more brisket." He'd be dead of heart disease in 5 years, stuffing himself at my place.
Holy schmoley. Duchess and Napoleon off from Disney's The Aristocats, as well as Miss Bianca and Luke off from Disney's The Rescuers are in this show because they are voiced by Eva Gabor and Pat Buttram.
How do you get parts for a Hoyt-Clagwell tractor? Are they still in business? I remember that they were based in Fargo, North Dakota. It's no wonder Oliver Wendell Douglas thought he was in the Twilight Zone!
Green Acres was a made for TV series of Marx Bro's movies... Mr. Douglas as Groucho... Haney as Chico... Lisa as talking version of Harpo...with the rest of the cast taking turns using Marx Bro characters... maybe that's an over simplification but all the similarities are there... the Marx bro's depended on absurdity, misunderstanding, mispronunciation, play on words, frustration and unexplained jokes... Paul Henning and his writers used these techniques to a T in the Green Acres show... all the absurdities Mr. Douglas is continually faced with are all normal to the rest of the cast... the writers knew how to use "benign violation" to it's fullest extent.
Nah...Oliver was a flustered sad sack fish out of water who always got the short end of the stick. Groucho was a fast talking, slippery smart ass that didn't take shit from anyone.
@@hugginkiss1027 ... try rereading my comment... I said "similarities" and though Groucho dished it out more than Oliver, Groucho was also flustered by likes of Chico and Harpo in numerous scenes... and there's numerous times when Mr. Douglas gets his licks in. Watch the scene in "Day At The Races" (it's on you tube) where Chico slicks Groucho out of money for "racing tip" guide books and compare that to Mr. Haney trying to scalp Mr.Douglas every chance he gets
KINGFISH taught Mr. Haney Phil Silvers AND THESE CAR SALESMAN. I love all three actors HATE car salesman. They're ALL the BEST SWINDLERS CON MEN LIARS AND MONEY MAKERS OFF GOOD PEOPLE I'VE SEEN. Love Amos and Andy and Green Acres Good clean fun both shows
Does anyone else find it impossible to hear this guy talking without thinking about the Sheriff of Nottingham from Robin Hood or the dogs from the Aristocats?
i agree that we are in dire need of talent. what happened? used to be, there were people like burt and eddie and eva and too many to call names on who got out and mad some fair movies. eddie and eva and butram made whole series. i just bought it. BUT why is there no talent now? i believe it is because the producers are too cheap to pay for living expenses. you can not convince me that there is no talent available. just not being used.
I ran into Mr. Haney (Pat Buttram) at a Whole Foods market in 1988 give or take a year. He couldn't have been nicer. He could not stop talking about Green Acres and even gave me a few good stories of Arnold Ziffle.
I didn't know that chain existed then. 😊
Eddie Albert. Thanks for the memories and service.
Here are the best/funny scenes with Mr. Eustance Haney (played by Pat Buttram) from the 1965 TV show "Green Acres".
one of the best iconic timeless shows in the worlddddd
Loved Mr Haney and would wait for his appearance.
I enjoy watching retro TV stations nowadays. Those 50s and 60s shows sure are different as I watch them as an adult. Mr. Buttram shows up on so many of those shows. He almost always plays rural types. Great characters and writing.
Mr Buttram standup skits were absolutely hilarious! In these shows, I really enjoyed his character.
Pat Buttram has the greatest southern accent ever
Every character in this is perfect. And the writing is too. It cracks me up every time.
Excellent 👍
great show
I saw Pat Buttram in an episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. He played a farmer who’s only concerned about his money
Some of the things that cracked me up about Green Acres were Oliver's wearing three-piece suits to do farm work and the quality of work (like the masonry on their fireplace) the Monroe Brothers did.

Pat Buttram, as Mr. Haney, The Salesman of All Salesman! Green Acres Role. R. I. P.
Mrs. Douglas every time I see you it reminds me of a speckled hen sitting in a little green wagon. OMG I am seriously laughing so hard I'm in tears. This show is priceless.
My FAVORITE TV show of ALL time!!!!!!!
I doubt that very much!!
It was good show, but even YOU gotta admit, the Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction were better!
Taking some Haney lessons!
@@kristabrewer9363 'Hillbillies', maybe, 'Petticoat', no. They were all sisters shows anyway, and each one was plenty funny.
@@obbor4 by far the better of the three
Very funny, very underrated, love mr haney, best part of the show

Great stuff. Have always loved this show. Just learned that Mr. Haney was based on Colonel Tom Parker. A con man & shyster. Perfect.
Con man like Trump!!! 😅
@@mrflynn01 typical liberal, jerk off troll. Licking your chops to make some unrelated, unsolicited political reply.
Another brain dead dumbocrap with TDS!! He lives rent free in your empty skull 24/7!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Overlooked existential brilliance. Very funny actors too.
exactly! The characters except for poor Oliver Douglas are living in alternative universe
Excellent show !
Excellent Show !
Pat Buttram had such an adorable southern voice I've ever heard! Eva Gabor is so CUTE!! I know their voices through the Disney Classics.
Kentucky. And same business ethics, too!
Alison Heron Hruby Kentucky, he was from Alabama.
@@paullee7467 He said the Haney character was based entirely on Col. Tom Parker, Elvis Presley's manager...
Mr Haney was always selling something or selling your own stuff back to you! Lol!
Mr Haney: We wuz just cleaning out the place! 😂
Eddie Albert was a real war hero in the Pacific during WW II.
Rob Mackenzie , really?
lloyd kline WOW! I never knew that a war hero could be so funny. Well one lives, one learns.

Alot of those veteran actors were also WW2 veterans
Their outdoor shower system is like what Betty Jo and Steve Eliot had at their cottage. Makes ya wonder how they got clean during winter. LOL. Glad I watched this new. It is still hilarious.

Haney's secret motto he keeps... ...A Sucker is born everyday.
I agree
In cash we trust ..lol
HANEY didnt miss a beat, ever....
that Haney could sale clothes to a nudist colony!!😂😂he's relentless!!
Whatever Mr Douglas needed at the time, Mr. Haney always conveniently had it.
One episode had this classic give-n-take.....
Douglas: How come every time I need something, you just happen to have it on your truck?
Haney: Let's look at that another way. How come every time I have something on the truck, you happen to need it?

He probably couldn't 'sell' it to them, but he'd find a way to charge them for it!!
Pat buttram and Phil Silvers , both great con men.
and the Kingfish.
Exactly and both good actors
God bless Mr. Haney!
Best part of the tv show
Hoyt-Clagwell tractor, a classic
mr. haney was as shady as a politician, but way funnier
Mr Haney reminds me of a Texas car salesman.
Fixtures remain with the property unless otherwise spelled out in Special Provisions of the Agreement between the parties.
LOVE PAT BUTTRAM WITH ALL MY HEART AND ALWAYS WILL
she's prettier than a speckeled hen sitting on a little green wagon........lol
Greg Egan that’s a red wagon, and it’s going up the hill....
I liked everyone from Green acres, especially Mr. Kimble who never seemed to make up his mind.
He was such a scatterbrain...well, not a scatterbrain...more like a LAME brain...no...more like a....I guess he WAS a scatterbrain! 😂
I love Mr. Haney. The original con man
seriously? You really liked that idiot?
Look thie

...hey I wonder ......how come he didn't go to Beverly Hills and con the Clampetts out of big $$$$$
Mr Haney was the GREATEST!!!!!!

I've never seen the early episodes of the show so it's really interesting to see the way Lisa is acting here in the first episode. Her voice and attitude are very very different. I always wondered why the theme song portrayed her as wanting to live in the city, but in the show she didn't seem to mind living on the farm, aside from wanting to visit New York every now and then.
Mr Haney was the Barney Fife of Green Acres.
Both were funniest part of the tv show
I saw Mr Haney on Adam 12 last nite. He was a drunk guy directing traffic
good show
I noticed Lisa is not as goofy in the early episodes. lol
That's true. Both Oliver and Lisa were fish-out-of-water when the show began. Lisa adapted much more quickly to her surroundings.
love green acres . they need more like this show...
Ticon.,p0w
All it said is I sold you a house, and that's what you got, a house.
Then Lisa goes back in the car; Oliver: Lisa, no!
pat buttram played the sheriff of Nottingham in disneys robin hood
JHATDRUMMER1976 , I especially liked him in the Alfred Hitchcock presentation, " The jar."
Do You mean animated one with animals playing the parts?
He also played Napoleon the bloodhound on Disney's Aristocats. 😁
That doctor's waiting room wall paper could be useful, and save a lot of money with less visits to the optometrist.
i love mr. haney!!! his funny voice, ripping ppl off financially, getting on mr. douglas's nerves... !! LOL
Lol!
Mister Haney!! Yells OWD
i love the Haney bits

He'd be dead of heart disease in 5 years, stuffing himself at my place.
When Pat Buttram walked in everyone's notebook came out. He'd give away $10,000 worth of material just over lunch.
With all the times Mr. Haney took Mr. Douglas I am amazed Mr. Douglas never asked Mr. Haney if he had a shotgun in his truck for sale.
I love this show but what kinda lawyer was Oliver? He let Haney get away with too much
It's a comedy for crying out loud!
Google pat buttram and listen to him roasting rich little.hilarious thanks for uploading these great videos.
The Mr. Haney character reminds me of one of my local politicians , and he always gets elected 🤔
Mr.Douglas- Mr. HANEY you sold me a defective tractor.
Mr. Haney- It's not a defective, it's a hought-klagwell.
Yep, the good stuff. Now we have Walking Dead lol
And orange is the New Black

Pat Buttram, Beastars Legoshi ancestor in Robin Hood 🐺🐺
i just saw the cow eposode the other night on tv
Comedy at it's best.

IF YOUR GOING TO SAY IT SAY IT RIGHT. LOL TOOOOO FUNNY
THAT Haney he sure had a way of selling things back to mr. Douglas
Marreeejuaanuuuhhh.....Seems like I heard Haney say this in one episode when I was a kid. I've been saying it that way (like Haney) for decades, lol.
Mr. Haney hopes you enjoyed this video, and if you did, he wants you to know, THAT'LL BE TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS!
Talk about memories Back in the 60s Tv show
It's not worth $25

Mr Haney reminds me of a white Don King
Admit it, as likable as Mr. Haney was, we wanted him to get sued.
No Comments???? Thanks, Love it
In 7 years there might be some!
i lived tru history,do i remember will i ever forget i hope not.
Didn't you read your bill of sales? I did!!!
A tractor that wheels keep coming off. Mr. Douglas got took as a sap multiple times from that Mr. Haney creature.
😂😂😂😂
Mr Haney's voice sounds just like Senator John Kennedy (R) Judiciary Committee!
KINGFISH taught Mr. Haney Phil Silvers AND THESE CAR SALESMAN. I love all three actors HATE car salesman. They're ALL the BEST SWINDLERS CON MEN LIARS AND MONEY MAKERS OFF GOOD PEOPLE I'VE SEEN.
Love Amos and Andy and Green Acres
Good clean fun both shows
You can come along too if you’re ever in the mood. There’ll be chickens and stuff… and some mansions with views.
Do you have the one where Mr. Haney tries to sell someone a talking horse named "Mister Fred"?
Sheriff of Nottingham lol! too funny
Legoshi ancestor. Legoshi's grandpa, not Gosha.
Haney shoulda just said I just cleaned the place out 4 ya, 25 bucks,..?

MISTER HANEY!...........
ahahah ive a tractor just like that..always broken
I would have punched Mr. Haney the first time he tried to con me.
Mr. Haney reminds me of Tom Nook
.he .reminds me of Rent A Center for some reason....LOL..
..Tom Nook was not a crook...
Tom Nook was made as the character from Animal Crossing in the early 2000’s
Poor me.Douglas! The rural inmates are running the ' asylum'!

Pat Buttram was the best as Mr. Haney
Eleanor or Arnold? Love em's both.
That expensive $200 back for the day for a cow named Eleanor.
Allright everyone we get it, Haney sounds like Cruz, Cruz sounds like Haney, ha ha ha! Haney might sound like Cruz but he has the ethics of a Clinton.
