I agree. I will never forgot when I first saw this on the original air date, It was with my mom and both of us were dying of laughter especially when he popped up from the bar with the shaker. So glad you posted this, TV Land and other stations always edit this down.
Same here, that was such a hilarious episode and every time I hear the word strut, I automatically think of John Ritter/Jack Tripper telling that older woman at the party to “Strut with me Mama!!” LoL 😂 😂 That’s one of the funniest moments in all of TV comedy. I always laugh when I see it.
mines is Im gettin downnnnnnn lol have me laughing so hard he was a genuis on this episode showed who the ace in threes company Number 1 episode for me and always will be
I love when he kissed the lamp and it turned on. Though he wasn’t expecting it, he carried on without missing a beat! I cannot believe he’s been gone 20 years
@Justyna_N *_Now,_* whenever they rerun this episode on TV (the *IFC* cable-TV channel airs all the reruns of Three's Company, btw), they _always_ cut Jack's dance scene short at the moment he kisses the lamp. Thank goodness the _full_ dance scene is here on TH-cam, because seeing just the first _half_ of it (on TV) is a bummer. 😞 The entire dance is hilarious, but the _funniest_ parts of the dance is the part they don't even show when it's aired on TV.
@@morganjanelle4282 I went on TH-cam just to find this clip! I've been watching it on Pluto, and I knew the dance was longer. One of my favorite episodes of TC!
I will never forget this episode. In April 1982 this 13 year old laughed his ass off watching this classic show. John Ritter was awesome at physical comedy. This is my favorite episode of the whole run. RIP John.
The most brilliant piece of physical comedy ever. Brilliant choreography, timing and delivery, not to mention laugh out loud till you drop hilarious. John Ritter, an irreplaceable talent. 😂❤
What most people don’t know is DON CRIGHTON who choreographed the CAROL BURNETT SHOW , choreographed this scene . It was brilliant. John Ritter was brilliant. Always.
@gloria-du3op It's my favorite episode, _too._ 💗 When I pulled up this episode "Up In The Air" on the IMDb site, it says that both John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt have said that, out of all the Three's Company episodes, it was their favorite. ☺💗🌷
One of the best comic actors to ever exist, hands down one of my favorites, if not my favorite. I loved Three´s Company and still do, can watch reruns repeatedly due to Jack, followed by Janet. May you continue to rest in peace Mr Ritter, you were one of a kind, pure comedy genius.
I remember watching this as a kid, when it first aired with my nonni who barely spoke English, and she laughed her little old Sicilian butt off along with us. When he came up from behind the bar with the plant on his head, that was the peak of the laughs.
This episode has to be my favorite of all 8 season’s. I have them all. This was episode 25 of season 6. Jack did a great performance! John Ritter was such a great comedian, probably The greatest physical comedian there was. Very talented, I adored him. Cried when he died at a very young age. Rest in peace John Ritter and thanks for the laughs!
I LOVE THIS. EVERYTIME I WATCH THIS THERE IS A SMILE ON MY FACE AND LAUGHTER IN MY HEART. I SEND IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS TO CHEER THEM UP ON BLUE DAYS. I DARE ANYONE NOT TO SMILE OR LAUGH WATCHING THIS. I THANK GOD JOHN RITTER PASSED OUR WAY. HIS LIFE WAS BRIEF BUT HIS GIFT TO MAKE US LAUGH IS EVERLASTING. FOREVER LOVED, FOREVER REMEMBERED.
no matter how many times i watched this show,,, which was a ton,,, and no matter how many times i seen this episode,,, i will forever crack up,,, laugh my ass off every single damn time,,,RIP MT RITTER
This right here, is a small bit of the raw, one of a kind talent John Ritter had. It also shows elements of his idols, Dick Van Dyke, and Don Knotts. Continue to RIP good sir
It's criminal that half of this scene gets cut out in syndication runs. Many people don;t know that this scene is what won John Ritter the emmy that year.
@@marcusmontgomerys2ndlogotv226 I understand. I remember when I visited New York and watched some American television. It was insane how much commercial there was all the time. Almost as much commercial as the real TV show. 🤪
This was hilarious very well choreographed . It looks like it would take forever to get it perfect. The fact that John Ritter makes it look so spontaneous is a true testament to his on-stage brilliance.
The best! I remember watching this as a kid around 7 and laughing so hard and banging my head on my hard loveseat from laughing and tearing so hard....😂 i loved it. And im a comedy snub now!
I remember watching Three's Company decades ago with my Grandma (who didn't speak a word of English), and she would laugh so hard at John Ritter's physical comedy. He was simply the best❤
One of the best ever! It’s almost like he knew his days were numbered and he let it all out for the world to see. Pure gold! Such a talented wonderful man! I miss him
This was my grandmother's favorite show of all time. Her English fluency was about 50%, but physical comedy is an international language. I'll always miss her high-pitched laughter at Jack's pratfalls, it actually made watching the show even funnier! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for posting! I just watched this episode on TV and the cut half of this part. I thought I was going crazy because I remembered it differently and I was right.
haven't seen this in over 25 years. i still remember everything he did. we all miss him. Last couple movies i saw him in were "bad santa" and "sling blade"
Thanks for posting this. For some reason, Pluto TV's version of this episodes cuts this scene out right when Jack is about to dance with the lamp. 🤷♂🤷♂
I loved growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. I saw, in my opinion, 2 of the 3 actors who put an entire show on their back and carried it to success: John Ritter and Michael J. Fox. And the 3rd, before my time, the great Lucille Ball.
John ritter just at his best..i remember as a kid seeing this episode i was crying with laughter my stomach hurt..lol..may God rest you John..thank you for all the laughs and entertainment you gave us...
I once worked at a popular West Hollywood restaurant in the to-go section and John Ritter came in to pick-up his order that his wife had called in. She was a very nice lady over the phone. I was the cashier. John came up to me and even though I'm not star struck, I sorta was shocked to see him in the flesh. He quietly mentioned his name as his pickup order, and that was that. I'm glad I got to at least see him in person. He was truly sensational and one of a kind.
He was a favorite of all time nobody could ever be like him it's just so sad that he is not here to have everybody laugh all we have is to Rememberance of everything that he has ever done in his life to make you smile and laugh if you're down and out he was the one to turn to to make you laugh he is the greatest
This has to be the greatest comedic solo performance in sitcom history. Period.
Gota be!
Absolute genius. I've never seen anything better than this.
100%!!!!!
I agree. I will never forgot when I first saw this on the original air date, It was with my mom and both of us were dying of laughter especially when he popped up from the bar with the shaker. So glad you posted this, TV Land and other stations always edit this down.
@@Majormusic300.
The transition from the yawn into the hiss is still to this day one of the most brilliant comedic bits I've ever seen.
Man! That shit funny!!
Absolutely.
0:49 Is where I completely lost it and cried uncontrollably until Jack falls over
LOL. Are you SERIOUS? LOL. BRILLIANT? Good grief.
No matter how many times I watch this episode...I just LAUGH till I cry!!! John Ritter can never be replicated!
Ever! One of the funniest things I ever watched. 🤣🤣🤣
DEFINITELY his MOST funniest scene on the show, can't stop laughing every time I see it!! Awesome!
Best one ever! Always makes me smile and sad that he is gone 😢
It was too funny!!!!
Me too! Best episode!
John Ritter’s brilliance as an actor, both comedic and dramatic, was criminally under appreciated. He was one of a kind.
"I can't. I've got the music in me- Strut with me Mama!" Love that line, awesome episode!!! Recorded this on my old VCR, always funny!
I love how the lady struts with him so happily!
Same here, that was such a hilarious episode and every time I hear the word strut, I automatically think of John Ritter/Jack Tripper telling that older woman at the party to “Strut with me Mama!!” LoL 😂 😂
That’s one of the funniest moments in all of TV comedy.
I always laugh when I see it.

@@morganjanelle4282I wonder why they shorten such an iconic scene !
@@suefalk2682 I've always wondered the same thing !! ✔🌷
I always noticed that. You could see him laugh when the light came on!

I literally laughed until I cried. It was one of the funniest scenes I have ever watched on any sitcom. Ritter was amazing.
I was 8 and me and my mom and grandma were in stitches. I remember it like it was yesterday.😌
We are same age 😊...and yes he was brilliant at physical comedy...i still watch reruns of 3's company and laugh just as hard as i always have
This one has lived rent free in my head since I was 8 years old.
Same 😂
Same x2! ❤😂
Yes! And I'm not unhappy about it 😂
The most brilliant piece of physical comedy ever. Brilliant choreography, timing and delivery, not to mention laugh out loud till you drop hilarious. John Ritter, an irreplaceable talent. 😂❤
I'm 52 and grew up with this show. ALWAYS return to this episode for a guaranteed laugh and pick me up!
John Ritter thank you for the making everyone laugh during the Three Company’s show. GOAT of comedy…
I agree with you and so would many others.
This man was one of a kind. Just thinking about this makes me laugh so hard, my ribs hurt. Brilliant physical comedy.
True!!!
Literally the greatest moment in the history of television!!! 😂
What most people don’t know is DON CRIGHTON who choreographed the CAROL BURNETT SHOW , choreographed this scene . It was brilliant. John Ritter was brilliant. Always.
That's cool, another connection with the Carol Burnett Show. We already knew Dave Powers directed both shows too.
Seriously? This was planned? I thought the director simply just told John to go nuts.
@shadowspectrumswordtailstr5468
I think he improvized It.
Is that Right?
That's what I thought. It looked so spontaneous. Not rehearsed at all.@@SpectrumSwordtails
the first time i saw this, i laughed so hard i fell out of my chair. still makes me howl. love you, John. RIP 🌹
Cried laughing and almost wet myself lol! RIP for real, John, A true legend.
It was a very funny scene!!!!!
Here for it in 2024, having watched it literally the first time it ever aired. The BEST, still!! Thanks John! 🤣💫🙏💜
John Ritter was with out a doubt the funniest physical comedy actor ever!
Yup. John, Michael Richards, and Jaleel White were a league of their own!
Don't forget Dick Van Dyke!@@JLvatron
John Ritter was THE BEST. An average guy with so much charisma and talent. love him. bless is soul.
I was a kid when this show was airing. I never forgot this scene. Brilliant physical comedian. RIP John Ritter. Gone way too soon.
"Strut with me mama." 😂😂
What a crazy episode this was. John was very talented.
One of my top 5
One of top 10
Agreed!!!
Very, a Classic.
I forget what an amazing actor John Ritter was! It was sad we lost him at a young age.
True!!!
Definitely one of the best episodes of Three's Company. John's acting is just phenomenal here❤
whooOOO???
This is my favorite episode. Jack looks like Fred Astaire dancing. 😂 hilarious love it. I needed a good 😂 laugh. RIP MR.RITTER. ♥

Jack was off the chain in this episode!🤣🤣🤣
True!!!

My favorite Three's Company scene of all time. Dazzling and funny.
the whole scene is funny but when he first steps out onto the patio and starts dancing 🤣😂🤣
@glitterdrip19 "I'm gettin' downnnnnnnnn!!" and "Strut with me, mama !!" 😂🤣😂
Bill Murray, John Candy, and John Ritter as the new Three Stooges. Comedy gold there possibly.
This is John Ritter at his best on TV! This man could sing & dance. He said his inspiration was Dick van Dyke. R.I.P ✝️
He got so zooted here 😂
This episode has to be my favorite of all 8 season’s. I have them all. This was episode 25 of season 6. Jack did a great performance!

True!!!!

First time I saw this episode I died laughing this is my favorite of all. Jack is too much.
I remember this when it was new. Still makes me laugh to this day. There’ll never be another John Ritter💔
@marklechman2225 I was only 10 the first time I saw this episode & I laughed so hard, I cried. 41 years later & it _still_ has the same effect on me.
I saw it the first time it came out and still love it! Thanks for the laughs John
Hope you enjoyed it!
Will always be my favorite moment from the series cause that's how creative & hilarious John Ritter was
I know Right!!!
John Ritter’s physical comedic ability was amazing
I watched this over & over 😂😂😂
I know Right, it was a very funny scene!!!!
Oh man this was my favorite episode I really miss seeing Three's Company .
Jack was so funny. Such incredible talent. Loved him ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️✝️
This is one of my favorite three's company with Jack tripper! RIP John Ritter!
This right here, is a small bit of the raw, one of a kind talent John Ritter had. It also shows elements of his idols, Dick Van Dyke, and Don Knotts. Continue to RIP good sir
I think there was a touch of Buster Keaton as well. Whom John was often compared to.
@@cityhawkYes!
Crying every time I watch this laughing like no one's business
It's criminal to know that in syndication, they cut out the second part of his dance.
It's criminal that half of this scene gets cut out in syndication runs. Many people don;t know that this scene is what won John Ritter the emmy that year.
Really? Why?
Due to time and to squeeze in more commercials.
@@marcusmontgomerys2ndlogotv226 I understand. I remember when I visited New York and watched some American television. It was insane how much commercial there was all the time. Almost as much commercial as the real TV show. 🤪
Television now airs more commercials, so old shows have to be cut to fit in the extra ads.
This was hilarious very well choreographed . It looks like it would take forever to get it perfect. The fact that John Ritter makes it look so spontaneous is a true testament to his on-stage brilliance.
The best! I remember watching this as a kid around 7 and laughing so hard and banging my head on my hard loveseat from laughing and tearing so hard....😂 i loved it. And im a comedy snub now!

He was adorable, a very talented guy, and I'm still sad about his passing. Why is it always the sweethearts. God rest his soul.
Hey it's Greg Brady !!😲
John was for sure the Prat Fall Master. Nailed it.
This one never gets old
THIS. GUY. HAS. THE. BEST. PHYSICAL. COMEDY. I. HAVE. EVER. SEEN.
When he comes up from behind the bar with the plant on his head ROTFLMAO
This was a priceless performance. I remember this episode very well. John Ritter was one of the best comedic actors of all time.
Jack was the funniest actor of this episode and he said the rocket as blasted off
One of the best ever! It’s almost like he knew his days were numbered and he let it all out for the world to see. Pure gold! Such a talented wonderful man! I miss him
was probably 20 years before he passed,
This was my grandmother's favorite show of all time. Her English fluency was about 50%, but physical comedy is an international language. I'll always miss her high-pitched laughter at Jack's pratfalls, it actually made watching the show even funnier!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the funniest 5 minutes in television history. Comedic genius
Is that Greg Brady walking up to Janet? I did not know that Barry Williams was in this episode.
Yes it is! I just recently made that connection.
Funniest scene in sitcom HISTORY!
best scene in the history of television...EVER
R.I.P. John Ritter. One of those special lights.
He was the best! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow why is this the first time I seen this . Simply amazing !
This is my favorite episode it make me cry & laugh
Thanks for posting! I just watched this episode on TV and the cut half of this part. I thought I was going crazy because I remembered it differently and I was right.
Same here. I understand editing for more commercial time. But they cut out the most ICONIC scene of any Three's Company episode.
Why would they cut the best part of the episode? That’s insane.
One of my fav episodes Soo funny and and loved the blue beautiful dress Janet wore it was timeless
Comedic genius. No one better
The first time I saw this i liked to loss my mind. He’s in my top 10!
The look on Janet’s face at 4:44 😮😅😂
Sooo...what's IN the Rocket?..lol
Cocaine.
This show is mind blowing
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Plant on his head and shaking the shakers lol😂😂😂😂
John Ritter is a genius for this skit pure genius Just enjoyed it and it is the number 1 favorite on 3's Company Period lol
I still laugh until I choke whenever I look at this scene. It's one of the best comedies I ever saw ! RIP John Ritter
haven't seen this in over 25 years. i still remember everything he did. we all miss him. Last couple movies i saw him in were "bad santa" and "sling blade"
I remember watching this when it first aired on TV and watching my pops roll laughing. Awesome time RIP Pops and John
physical comedy will always get me,,, Three's Company....Carol Burnett, I love Lucy,, its awesome
If this got on tik tok it would blow up! Incredible performance
Thanks for posting this. For some reason, Pluto TV's version of this episodes cuts this scene out right when Jack is about to dance with the lamp. 🤷♂🤷♂
John Ritter is a comedic legend
This is why John Ritter was the highest paid actor on Three's Company.
No other actor on the show could pull off this bit.
Great show one of my favs.thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY AND CRYING A LITTLE. MR RITTER WAS SO UNDERRATED AND IS TRULY MISSED ❤️🙏🏽👑

Three's Company helped me through a rough childhood. Anyone else have the same experience?
This is an AMAZING PERFORMANCE!! I remember seeing this when it first aired and NEVER forgot it!!! John Ritter was amazing!!
Rumor has it, Mr. Ritter did love himself a little pick me up.
This is hilarious but nobody noticed that “Greg Brady” is a party guest? 😂

I remember watching this new. When he started to shake the shaker and the plant in his head. I busted out laughing
