Three of the best physical comedic actors, Dick Van Dyke, John Ritter, who I could see in an episode like this, and Tim Conway. All unique in their own way and very talented. I'm usually not into this show, but there are rare episodes like this that catch my funny bone. The unexpected ending of him being flipped by a monkey doll had me in tears. 🤣Unlike Robert Petrie, Dick Van Dyke said he never got hurt doing those pratfalls.
@@aprilstewart5929 mmmm. not really if you know how to flip. When I was younger I could do a flip like that, I once grabbed my sisters hand and made it look like she flipped me on my back, and this was on a grassy hard ground. Just like Dick does in this. Prat falls are a little easier than you think when you know how to do them. How ever I could never dance like Dick Van Dyke.
@@wiseguymaybe Yes, and gorgeous, but she was also extremely funny. She deserves credit for that. Have you seen the episode "It May Look Like a Walnut"? Hysterical.
FYI..Laura uses a Judo "hand-throw"...Te Guruma (Hand Wheel): A throwing technique where the practitioner uses their hands to wheel the opponent’s arm, throwing them to the ground.
As I recall, Rob was a boxing champion while in the army. "Pitter Patter" Petrie could take care of himself. However, we don't find out about that until season 5 episode 11-BODY AND SOL. 😀😀
One of the best episodes of the series. Tyler Moore is really excellent as Laura and the episode has a feminist tilt as 2nd wave feminist began. Take that, Betty Friedan! "How come you never dress like a girl?"
13:51 “Yeah. Well, in this house man is still man and woman is still woman!” 👏 Kudos to Laura for affirming masculinity and femininity, instead of “feminism.”
I agree. MTM played Laura's warranted confidence very well in this episode. During their dress conversation you could almost hear the character of Mary Richards "speak from the future". It's very satisfying for younger viewers (I'm 21) who grew up reaping the benefits of 2nd/3rd wave feminism.
👏 13:45 “Today, men & women compete in evtg! Well, in this house man is still man & woman is still woman!” Bravo Laura for affirming masculinity & femininity, instead of “feminism.” ❤️
This episode sure hasn't aged well. Rob, who's usually such a sweetheart on the show, lets his wounded ego turn him into a jerk. He keeps acting like Laura has done something wrong. And he sets a lousy example for his son by picking a fight with his wife. What the writers should have done was have Rob fixate on learning judo so that he can better protect his family. It would have been funny to see him on a dojo, feeling intimidated by all these martial arts masters. Dick Van Dyke could have done some wonderful physical comedy with martial arts gear. It would have also been nice if Rob was more contrite in the hospital, admitting that it was his own stupidly that got him there.
15:58 is my favorite moment in the entire series. Rob faces the consequences of his stupid and egotistical attitude, right at the hands of Laura. That's what you get for pushing people around to satisfy your ego. He completely deserved that and the fall he got at the end. She was too kind to him, she should've shouted it across the neighborhood. He's got a lot of gall, challenging her and attempting to attack her, and getting upset when she defends herself. This is about the worst he's been since season 1 (The Bad Old Days, Washington vs. The Bunny and other such episodes).
@@stephenstumbke1721 Getting upset at Laura and thinking he's her puppet, all because she's not happy he went back on his promise and expects him to be a present father. Also, his entire rhetoric on manliness and how a woman's opinion should only be weighed and considered, a man's opinion should be the final decision. That, for me, is the most sexist episode in the entire series.
But that was the thing about Laura: she was tolerant, patient and only got shrill occasionally. Same thing with Rob. This series is replete with their mutual psi-ops. Particularly funny are her attempts to throw him a surprise party.

Always Loved the Dick Van Dyke show ❤. The cast was fantastic!
This show was a gem. LOL.
Dick is the king of slapstick comedy.
He's the King, PERIOD.
What about Ted Danson?
keep your eyes on Laura's facial expressions. She is gorgeous!!
WAS. She---Mary Tyler Moore---has been dead for five years.
@@jb6712
True, sadly. But, she IS gorgeous in that episode.
Truer words were never spoken.
Mary Tyler Moore was a real cutie back in the day
Yeah, she was about 28 years old, at the time of this episode.
This episode showcases the brilliant direction of Jerry Paris. He had four Emmy nominations , two for Dick Van Dyke and two for Happy Days.
Agreed. He was great and I loved him as Jerry Helper too.
@@dyates6380 Me too!!
Rob : I'm serene
Laura : How many serenes did you have ?
Great writing
Exactly. I LOVED this show and this channel is making me realize how much I enjoyed it ...... all these years later.

Excellent writing! What a show! What an amazing episode!! 👏👏👏
Dick Van Dyke and Ken Berry should have had their own show together. It would have been a blast.

They must have rehearsed that flip a thousand times, and even then, it was dangerous! But yeah, DVD was exceptional at physical comedy.

Mary Tyler Moore was no slouch.
@@aprilstewart5929 Oh she is a very good dancer.

The drunk was played by Melissa Gilbert's dad
So now we know where she got her homely looks from---he was one unattractive man!
He was excellant!
What an interesting fact.
Great show
Nice one Laura 😂

You seem to know about the fighting arts!
A shout out to the drunk doing that flip !!

Funny Episode 😅
That really would be rather humiliating for poor Rob. I would simply take it in stride.... and quietly leave town 😆
Men ... lol. ;)
@@AlexandraK1 well...ummm... 😉
😂
Laura was super insensitive towards Rob’s feelings on this episode, but boy was it funny!! 😅
4:45. 100%. Classic

did he play Tony Daniels in the other episode.
Mary Tyler Moore was a Black Belt in Judo
Rob was a real jurk in this episode.
'Rob' is a fictional character. And I believe you mean jerk, not jurk.
Yeah. But, unlike many other episodes in which he's a jerk, he actually got his comeuppance in this one, which is why it's great.
Male pride at work
This episode sure hasn't aged well.

What did he do wrong in Washington Vs the bunny 😊
