This is a classic episode. The girls are working at a diner that was inherited by Lenny. Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams are hilarious in one of the funniest moments ever on TV.
"Betty Please" - so simple, yet so effective and still funny after all these years! We all said it for months after this episode aired. "Pick up your wienies" hahahah! Laverne throwing the spaghetti against the wall and Shirley delivering the basket in her mouth - all of it is pure comedy gold! "Betty Please"
Right? My fav episode EVER!! About 6 years ago my little girl got this play microphone w/ a speaker for her Bday & all night at the house (we had people over) I kept doing the “Betty Pick-up” routine & no one knew what I was doing 😂😂😂😂. I was cracking myself up.
The best scene ever! Me & my sister still make mimic Laverne’s “Betty Please” and decades later, we still bring it up and crack up! I love reading the comments, I’m happy to see that it left an impact on everyone. 😂🤣😁 💖 🥞 “lucky, lucky, lucky , for the next 10 minutes everything comes with pancakes” 🥞 😆
Years ago, my daughter got this magic microphone, and all night I did “Betty pick-up” & nobody knew what I was doing. 😂😂😂😂 I drove them crazy. I was cracking myself up.
Super Kyle- You are absolutely right! This is classic! I still think of “pick up your hash blacks” over the decades and it cracks me up every time!!! 😂🤣😂
I remember this episode when it was on... L&S was on its way down the tubes... but this was one of the best episodes ever. It even made TV Guides 50 Funniest TV Episodes of All Time in 1999....
My brother and I would say it to each other all the time. We watched this episode on reruns one day when skipping school. We used it all the time......still do once in awhile.
"Betty Please" has been a catch phrase for myself and my siblings since the 70's. Our kids (and now even grandkids) don't get it...but hey we don't get Justin Bieber. :-D
iflyTony My family too. Everything in this scene in particular was quoted one way or the other “Please don’t hassle Betty” “Lucky Lucky” and our favorite...”Betty please pick up on the hash blacks”.
L&S was my favorite show as a kid. This is one of my most favorite L&S episodes. Absolutely hilarious. "Betty Pleeaase!" LOL. Physical comedy at its finest and the heir to Lucy and Ethel. Penny and Cindy were born to work together. RIP Penny Marshall. Thanks for the laughs!
I remember the night this first aired. I laughed so hard I kept laughing for days after. Years later I saw that this episode was listed as a classic in some review list. for its "Betty Please Pickup."
OMG! This was one of my FAVORITE episodes! I STILL laugh at it! Years later, my friends and I quote the, "Betty, please, pick up your hash BLACKS!" HAHAHA!!!!! I MISS them! This was one of the best shows on TV when I was growing up!
This episode was so funny. I remember it when it first was on. When Laverne said “hash blacks”, I just busted out laughing. Such a classic show along side of Happy Days.
this is one of the best moments in the history of TV. Always thought the episode was called "Dead Lazlo's Place"- Put it's "The Diner"......Lucky Lucky......everyone gets pancakes.
R.I.P Penny Marshall......Not ashamed to admit this show was a childhood favorite!!! Penny gave so much...there's no replacement for anybody in this world...Laverne and Shirley, Mary and Rhoda..Lucy and Ethel...They all were bright spots and really "must see T.V...."
Yes, again,"BETTY,PLEASE!" has ALWAYS stood out in my mind, as the MOST HILARIOUS line, from "Laverne and Shirley," in its ENTIRE eight-season production run! YES, :25 is simply HILARIOUS: Shirley is like,"Laverne, who's Betty?" L:"You are." S:"WHAT! Well, why are you calling me that? That's not my name!" L:"But don't you think it sounds more like diner-like talk,than "SHIRL,PLEASE?" S:"Well, I wish you'd call me by my RIGHT NAME, for God's sake!" 2:30 is another trip--Laverne:"Betty, pick up your hash BLACKS!" ROFL, all over again, as I post this comment! This gets me EVERY TIME!
I loved this show as a kid! They were like Lucy and Ethel meets the Odd Couple! They were sooo funny and great at this type of humor- 'slap stick'! The old fashioned pie in the face kind of humor. Yes, you could say this situation seemed 'pathetic' and sad if taken seriously, but of taken as it was intended- it was hysterical! The characters knew their limitations and played it as outrageous on purpose! Gary Marshall was a genius director!
I had a very incompetent waitress in a Bob Evans named "Betty" who actually sat down to chat and share a cup of coffee with some man in the corner of the restaurant while her orders sat, waiting to be picked up. I was sitting at my table watching her and saying "Betty please! Pick up your hash blacks!" (much to the confusion of my parents ;) ). Finally, someone in the kitchen yelled at her to pick up her order. I was cracking up when she came back to our table. Boy was she confused. XD
I loved watching this when I was a kid. They are both so funny. Unbelievable how much talent there was in the day. I can't stand to watch TV anymore. Nothing like Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, the Waltons, and Little House on the Prairie.
Yes, HILARIOUS scene, and EPISODE, indeed! Luckily,I just happen to have the DVD set, of the 5th season(that this is from, in fact, it was one of the LAST episodes produced, during Season 5, it was like Mother's Day, or so, in 1980, when this was first broadcast.) Anyway, the "aka"title,"BETTY PLEASE!" has ALWAYS stood out in my mind, as one of the MOST HILARIOUS punch lines, from "Laverne and Shirley!" Thanks for posting!
As a little kid in the 70's as all little kids in the 70's, we've seen these a million times and they are still funny. I just had my 7 yr old son watch this clip and he can't stop laughing and wants to watch it again. The Ca episodes were ok, the best part with those is the theme. Loved how L & S kissed the Beatles at the top of the stairs when they left.
Wow, thanks so much for posting this - I thought I was the only one who called it the Betty Please episode - lol. Of all the L&S seasons, this was absolutely my fave ep because of this season - you're awesome for posting it!!!!! Saved it to favorites!
I'm 33 years old, and saw this when it first aired..."Betty, pick up your weenies", "Everybody loves eggs.", and "Attention folks, please dont harass Betty, please." Have been part of my lexicon for most of my life.
I now have a DVD box set of the ENTIRE SERIES--ALL EIGHT SEASONS--I was lucky enough to find it last December; it was a Xmas gift to myself, which I bought with some Xmas money. Interesting, how they have the seasons, on the box set, according to where the girls had lived in the seasons.(Seasons 1 through 5, the Milwaukee episodes, are all together on one "sub-set"in the box set, and seasons 6 thru 8, the CA episodes, on another box "sub-set.") Being the major L&S fan that I always have been, it always was my ambition to have all eight seasons, and now I do!
My best friend and I have adored these 2 brilliant women since they first aired. She's Laverne & I'm Shirley lol. Both are saddened by the loss of Penny. I'm sure we'll be able to get the set you are talking about now. I have the first 2 sets though. Great laughs, great memories!
I remember watching repeats of this on late night TV in the early ninties....I'd be spaced out on my bed watching this....found it quite funny at the time.
LMFAO! Haa ha..."Get out there and get those tips!" Whooooohooo! Thanks for the upload! I was hoping I would find this. I'll never forget "Betty, please pick up" Haahaha! I'm 54 BTW hee hee.
I hope Penny and Cindy are having a blast reunited in Heaven!! Thanks for all of the laughs, ladies. RIP Cindy and Penny!!!!
"Betty Please" - so simple, yet so effective and still funny after all these years! We all said it for months after this episode aired. "Pick up your wienies" hahahah!

the physical comedy between these 2 was great.
omg! flipping the pancakes with a dustpan! classic!
The first time I saw this, when she said "Betty, pick up your hash blacks", I think I laughed straight for about 10 minutes.
The best scene ever! Me & my sister still make mimic Laverne’s “Betty Please” and decades later, we still bring it up and crack up! I love reading the comments, I’m happy to see that it left an impact on everyone. 😂🤣😁 💖 🥞 “lucky, lucky, lucky , for the next 10 minutes everything comes with pancakes” 🥞 😆
"Betty, please. Pick up your weenies" & "Betty, please. Pick up your hash blacks." LMAO!
best episode ever.....
second to none
"Betty pick up"
"please don't harass betty"
classic I love it....
This is, imo, the ABSOLUTE best scene of any of the L & S episodes in the entire run of the show! I've seen it 50 times and I STILL Laugh my head off!
I do too!
Years ago, my daughter got this magic microphone, and all night I did “Betty pick-up” & nobody knew what I was doing. 😂😂😂😂 I drove them crazy. I was cracking myself up.
This is my favourite episode of Laverne and Shirley, absolutely brilliant!
RIP, Penny Marshall, and thanks for the laughs. ❤
And Cindy Williams RIP
Just burnt my hash browns in my new air fryer. Made me think of this clip. lol
Attention, Attention ....Lucky lucky! For the next ten minutes...EVERYTHING comes with pancakes!!
Serenity Cove 😂😂😂 One of the funniest thing ever uttered on tv...when "Lavern" delivered the line "pick up your hash blacks".. 😆😁
Comedy Legends.
"Oh, that's too hard. That's just too hard!" *throws order away*
The things I wish I could do at my job, lol.
Yes I am so glad I am not the only person that remembers this and still uses the phrase to this day.
Thank you for the laughs ladies! RIP Penny Marshall (Laverne) and Cindy Williams (Shirley)!😢
ahaha I've seen this 100 times and it keeps getting funny! Penny is sooo hilarious!!!!
This aired a million years ago but I can still remember I busted out laughing when Laverne said "Betty please, pick up your hash blacks".
Now, the show would be called RACIST, if that was said! I HATE all the PC garbage! I haven't watched TV in YEARS.
Ever imagine if Laverne & Shirley was in Lego Dimensions on 360 & PS3 in the Happy Days World
too bad There's a lot of good stuff on!
Super Kyle- You are absolutely right! This is classic! I still think of “pick up your hash blacks” over the decades and it cracks me up every time!!! 😂🤣😂
@@lexigroban463 you sound like a fucking idiot, lexi.
When she flips the giant pancake with the dustpan : just too funny!
I remember this episode when it was on... L&S was on its way down the tubes... but this was one of the best episodes ever. It even made TV Guides 50 Funniest TV Episodes of All Time in 1999....
When Laverne opened up shirley's top and told her to get those tips I cried tears laughing so much!!!! Can't make shows like that anymore
When Laverne threw the pasta on the wall! 🤣🤣😂😂 Loved both these women ❤❤💘 RIP Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams. 😥😥
I used to say this all the time on my Mr. Micophone i got for Christmas! Betty Please!
My brother and I would say it to each other all the time. We watched this episode on reruns one day when skipping school. We used it all the time......still do once in awhile.
😂

iflyTony My family too. Everything in this scene in particular was quoted
one way or the other “Please don’t hassle Betty” “Lucky Lucky” and our favorite...”Betty please pick up on the hash blacks”.
L&S was my favorite show as a kid. This is one of my most favorite L&S episodes. Absolutely hilarious. "Betty Pleeaase!" LOL. Physical comedy at its finest and the heir to Lucy and Ethel. Penny and Cindy were born to work together. RIP Penny Marshall. Thanks for the laughs!
this was by far the funniest episode!
They are so funny!!!! Those two were and are the best comedic actresses ever! At least they are right up there with Carol Burnett and Lucy.
I am soooo happy to see other's who love this episode as much as I do!!!!
Betty please, come pick up your hash....black. Lmao!
Lucky lucky, for the next 10 minutes everything comes with pancakes.

My absolutely favorite episode. "Betty Please!" LMAO! Excellent!
This episode was so funny. I remember it when it first was on. When Laverne said “hash blacks”, I just busted out laughing. Such a classic show along side of Happy Days.
My sister and I have been saying Betty please for years. We did the lines for her toddler in her Minnie Mouse microphone and my niece was hysterical!
Best episode ever! Well, maybe a tie with "candy stripers". Both such great comedic actresses. RIP Penny!
All these years later I still laugh out loud when Laverne slides under the bed😄. Comic genious!!!
The 'Near Mexico' episode is also in the running for one of their best.
'But, Shirl..We ain't got not wall!! "
And
"To The Bay! To The Bay!

One of my favorite episodes! RIP Penny!
And Cindy! RIP
@@myles-spikewebby8519 so sad about her passing
this is one of the best moments in the history of TV. Always thought the episode was called "Dead Lazlo's Place"- Put it's "The Diner"......Lucky Lucky......everyone gets pancakes.
Too funny I love Laverne & Shirley sadly missed Penny Marshall. Thanks for the laughs
And Cindy Williams too!
Love how Laverne just randomly grabs an order from the wheel, and the squeaky sound !
I absolutely love this. This is a classic. I've showed it to all my friends. I wish someone would put some whole episodes on here.
Omg, hands down the funniest show ever... The just
R.I.P Penny Marshall......Not ashamed to admit this show was a childhood favorite!!! Penny gave so much...there's no replacement for anybody in this world...Laverne and Shirley, Mary and Rhoda..Lucy and Ethel...They all were bright spots and really "must see T.V...."
I agree with you great comedy teams. This is what it's missing today good funny shows that are clean and not nasty with a laugh track.
And now Cindy Williams. They now reunited together in heaven. RIP Cindy Williams
Thanks for posting this wonderful L&S moment -- truly one of the funniest! At their best they were terrific; their physical comedy can't be beat!
like a modern Lucy and Ethyl. Love them!
this made me laugh when i was 10 years old, and still does at 50. great memories.
LOVED this episode. Laughed so hard when I saw this.

LMAO, @ those crazy Broads! Thanks for posting! Laverne and Shirley could always make me laugh!
please stop harrassing betty! lmaoooooooo
love this show ;p
Best Episode Ever! I always quote "Betty Please, pick up your hash blacks". The name Betty just makes me giggle every time I hear it.
The way Laverne’s chef hat went from poofy fresh and white to grease-stained and flat always made me laugh.
If you want to find your best friend, go up to a group of people and just say "BETTY PLEASE!" Whoever laughs first is your best friend. ;-)
I'm gonna DO THAT!!! I love YOU already!!!
That's NOT my picture by the way...
If I do that, I'll probably have the cops called or something. 😂😂😂
Hi, I know of at least two people who completely get it. Chicken Tetrazzini?!? Lucky, lucky! Betty please!
I love this episode! my dad's girlfriends daughter is 10 years old and she love Laverne & Shirley!

Carol Mc i quited TV 5 years ago because there is nothing to laugh anymore.
quit There's no such word as quited. Is English not your primary language?
I have been looking for this forever...thanks SO much for posting this!!!
This is so funny, love this show😂🤣😄🤣
This is so funny 😂 and l will miss Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams with her they were a beautiful twosome I love them R I P Penny Marshall

Oh my gosh, I remember watching this back in the day, laughing my butt off, watching this right now is still just as funny, classic!!!!
As a little kid in the 70's as all little kids in the 70's, we've seen these a million times and they are still funny. I just had my 7 yr old son watch this clip and he can't stop laughing and wants to watch it again.

One of the funniest episodes of the series.
Some of these shows, particularly before they moved to California were hilarious and so under-rated. "Bettye pick up your hash blacks" LOL
I watch this every day! It's so funny!
You simply gotta love L & S!!! :0)
