I like that his humor was never mean. A lot of it was based on sympathy for ordinary people in funny situations like this.
R.I.P. Bob Newhart. Your comedic genius will live on long after your final day of July 18, 2024. May your children and grandchildren be comforted in your loss, knowing how much laughter and joy you brought into the world.
One man. One phone handset. Comic genius... 💕
When he first started, comedy was just people being silly; he changed all that.
I genuinely thought that professor Proton was a real kids tv show.
Genius! Newhart and Conway were priceless and made the world so beautiful.
Tim Conway on The Carol Burnett Show is priceless ❤️
"Shoo ape" is still the funniest bit in this.
Shoe size 999 😂

One time, as an actor, we were doing a tech rehearsal for a play. And while the lights were off, I started doing this bit. I got the lead actress laughing like mad before the stage lights came back up.
Is there anyone who's listened/watched Bob Newhart in action, and doesn't love him?
Nope.
Bob Newhart was the greatest. I first heard this routine way back when, and several times since, and it still works for me. He was just terrific!
Depending on whether we have a 13th floor or not...😁😁
I love his understated humour - the driving lesson sketch is brilliant
The phone bits were Bob Newhart at his best.
I know I never met him but he was a big part of my life
"Thay say" that the best thing about the Empire State Building is the view of the Crysler Building.And I agree.
His timing is perfect 😂
Legend ❤️
99th floor;“There’s a giant eye peering in the window!”
10th floor;”There’s a giant foot in the window!”
35th floor.........”You ain’t gonna believe this!......”
I’d never seen this one before. I love it
Glad you found something new!
That would be one heck of an incident report.
Corporate would have to send down an investigator for sure.
The person who wrote it would get drug tested….three or four times. 😅
@@timdowney6721 Well, I think the eyewitnesses, the news, and the damage to the property might help him out there. Still, a drug test or two might be prudent. If only to show the claims adjusters at whomever they get their insurance from that they weren't kidding on this one.
No profanity or ridicule just clean funny and talented humor something that’s lacking today and the reason comics and night shows are losing viewership.
Classic
"ape's toes" 🤣
Genius!! ❤
One of my favorite movies one of my favorite comedians, what's not to love
Fantastic
Oh I do so miss him!🥰
Brilliant
I love that
RIP Professor Proton.
I saw Bob Newhart perform at a charity gig in Austin in the late '90s, and surprisingly, he actually did a fair bit of risqué material. I haven't been able to find any evidence of him doing those kinds of "adult" routines any other time, which makes me even more baffled about his performance that night. It was definitely something of a shock to hear "sexy talk" coming from the mouth of the "Button-Down Mind" man -- especially in front of a charity show audience, if you know what I mean. (It all went over fine, I should add -- nobody seemed to be offended and everything he did got plenty of laughs.)
So, anyway, does anyone know where to find recordings of Bob Newhart being other than G-rated?
Bob knew when there were Cameras and when there wasn't. 😆
Brilliant Bob!
Similar to George Carlin, Bob Newhart at the amazing gift of taking the most simplest and obvious situations and finding the humor. He will be greatly missed.
You can really hear the Bernard coming out
Hi Bob, oops, gotta drink. You gotta keep drinking until you see the ape fall by.
30,000 pounds of bananas?
Ellen DeGeneres is the only other comedian I know of who has done phone humor like this.
Yes, her phone call to God ❤️
Lily Tomlin as 'Ernestine' also did phone call comedy:

Check Shelley Berman and his early comedy albums. I might be wrong but I think he's the first comedian to release records. He did a lot of phone comedy. His bit with a hungover guy calling his buddy asking what happened at the party the night before is hysterical.
@@stevengabbard930 I know we had some of his albums, too. Don't recall the phone humor.
Of course we also had lots of Bill Crosby albums...
Lilly Tomlin has paid homage to Bob.
RIP
😇♥️
Priceless 😂 ( minus the cost of ba na na sssss 😅 😊
💜
Flat-wounds!
Genius.
