"Looking back on the mutiny . . . " Bob Newhart is an absolute GENIUS!! The way the man conjures up the most vivid story pictures in your mind, with just a handful of words - WONDERFUL!!
@Diane Newman It doesn't matter how you or anyone "considers" it; it's a swear word. So less of the attitude, young lady. Funny how you didn't say anything about hearing it from your child or saying it in front of your grandmother. Of course, that since speaks volumes. ;-)
That’s my favorite line from this skit. The first time I heard it, I was driving and nearly crossed over a freeway median. I was stone sober and didn’t have a cellphone.
A certain submariner of my knowledge did indeed steal the Exec's door, and hid it in the torpedo room. I understand this happened more than once. If this vid is anything to go by, it wasn't a new thing even back at the end of the '80's / early '90's!
@@jwrockets Go to Sub Brief here on utube - Aaron Amick, 20 years service US Navy Submariner - guilty of hiding the XO's door in the freezer. Edit: I think he tells what happened in one of his Cold Waters game streams - you may want to search his channel Only Subs.
You hear so many of these stories and honestly have no idea if they are true or not. The funniest door story I ever heard was from a surface ship where someone had removed the door to the wardroom and tossed it overboard. I think this happened back in the 1960s. I have no idea if this story is true. The man that told it told it so well I was laughing for a long time how he told of how the XO was on the 1MC screaming about his door.
@@THE-michaelmyers Find Sub Brief here on utube. Aaron is a retired sonar man from the US Navy. Somewhere amongst his videos you will find the one with the exec's door in it. He did it so he should know! Also - find the one with The Ping anecdote too.
@@vipertwenty249 Their stories. Most are also funny. I don't care if they are true or not. I only know one now Retired Naval Officer that served on a Sub. Back then he was serving on an LA Class Sub about 20 years ago. He was the Subs Weapons Officer and was with the Capt during a war game off the east coast of the US. They were either on the bottom or near the bottom quiet running I think with only passive sonar running. When all of a sudden the COB launched a fart that would put the fart scene of Down Periscope to shame. It made the Capt so ill he called off the war game and surfaced the sub. This video on that cook's subject reminds me of another Sub story I heard. The Head cook got peeved off at the XO and decided to not cook the beans correctly. The story as told to me had the Capt ordering the XO to apologize to the Cook.
the advert at the start of this,is a good example of the complete madness,that is being foistered onto us all ",buy more stuff you really don't need""you are not good enough etc etc " Sod off marketing corporations.. just sod right off...
I wonder when this was recorded. I presume he's referring to the USS Nautilus or one of another nuclear powered subs. (There has never been a US Navy craft of any kind named the USS Codfish.) By the way, the real point of these missions was to demonstrate to the USSR that our nuclear-powered submarines could carry ballistic nuclear missiles anywhere in the world and never have to surface and risk detection for nearly indefinite periods of time. It was all about communicating U.S. supremacy in the strategic balance of nuclear power.
Top quality humour. No posing, no obscenity, no attempting to be controversial for attention. Just poking fun at life's idiosyncrasies.

Bob Newhart is an absolute GENIUS!! The way the man conjures up the most vivid story pictures in your mind, with just a handful of words - WONDERFUL!!
I really needed this tonight. Thank you, dear Bob Newhart😍
This guy was GREAT! A COMEDY GENIUS!
This is my absolutely favourite Bob Newhart story.
Good old Bob. A true comedian, no swearing, crudity just plain old terrific humour. One of the funniest guys ever.
There was one swear word.
@Diane Newman It's still a swear word, and I reckon you wouldn't want to hear it from your child, nor say it in front of your grandmother.

YES!
"Looking back on the mutiny.." Priceless.
Bob Newhart is one of the best comedians of all time. *Round of applause*
And stand up!
Just perfect. Clean, smart, and perfect delivery. And completely hilarious.
Classy and funny without cursing.
Bobs humour is still riotously funny now all these years later. At the time his sketches must have left them in the isles
it was great hearing this again.
",,,,,,Looking back on the mutiny ....." We loved Bob Newhart here in the UK. He's Unique.
That’s my favorite line from this skit.
The first time I heard it, I was driving and nearly crossed over a freeway median. I was stone sober and didn’t have a cellphone.
Sure do 🤣
One of the very few comedy albums i borrowed. He creates a world in which you feel you are there. Genius.
Superb. Clean, perceptive and easy to picture in your mind.
One of the best comedians of all times.
One of the funniest comedians ever.
When Newhart "took the mike", YOU KNEW YOU WERE GONNA LAUGH!
Very funny. Well done, and this is from a submariner's wife.
Absolutely wonderful.
Has me in fits of laughter every time.
This guy was/is a CLASSIC COMEDIAN!
He is a nice clean comedian. I laughed so hard my sides hurt. But it felt good.
GREAT TALENT!
Oh so funny. Such a talented performer!!
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? An American sailor with a guilty conscience, perhaps?
A true comedic genius
I hope at some stage of his career he was able to deliver this to a group of US Navy submariners.
A CLASSIC BIT FROM A TRULY GREAT COMEDIAN!!!
Funny, clean, and so entertaining.
I have this on a record, along with other classic bits from him!
Had to hear this again on the occasion of his passing. RIP, Bob
I've heard a few of his bits. But, as I'm listening to all of these....I'm dying. Some of the funniest shit I've ever heard.
Perfect finishing touch to my day, thank you.
Still funny after all these years.
I wish somebody would post This Is It!!! That album is hilarious. The Daddy Of All Hangovers is one of the funniest routines I have ever heard.
This guy was/is ALWAYS A COMEDIANS' COMEDIAN! ONE OF THE GREATS!
@@johnmaki3046 We share the same birthday September 5 along with Freddie Mercury,Raquel Welch,Roine’ Stolt,Carol Lawrence to name a few.
Incredible timing.
Brilliant and blindingly funny.
Genius!
Just fantastic! :)
The other half of what made him so funny was his face. lol
Some of those laugh breaks, you can tell who in the audience served in the Navy.
You wanna stand now for the cooks?

I've heard about stolen XOs doors so many times I wonder if there is any truth to any of those stories at all.

Perhaps a better name might have been the USS Saltpeter...

He was no Shelly Berman, but he had his moments.
Yeah, he was actually funny.
I LOVED BOTH! THESE GUYS PERFORMED WITH TALENT!

A whole lot of artificial laughter here. Hilarious? If you laugh at EVERYTHING, then NOTHING is funny. Be selective! Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
