I was laughing just about the whole entire time. I miss watching this show. I only watched when they had the reruns back in the 90's. Christopher Lloyd sure has each and every character he plays down, great actor. I'd say he was at his best in Back to the Future trilogy though. He was a perfect fit for the part of Doc Emmett Brown!
Peru I believe...Southern Peru!. 74 before the rains.... Poignant!. But not overbearing! One of the best 10 moments in Taxi and also the golden age of Sitcoms.
Love Jim, fantastic actor. Best laugh I ever got was when Danny came out of his booth the very first time and I realised his height was lacking. I still laugh when I think of it.
oh darn. i was a little confused at that scene because i didnt know about this show until recently and i already know danny from other things. if this was one of this first appearances as an actor i suppose it would have been a cool reveal
Reverend Jim - when commenting about how he wound up in Omaha when he set out to hitchhiking to Washington: "I must have used the wrong thumb!" That should have gotten a much bigger laugh...
I just had some chocolate chip cookies and they were great but i didn't have a nice surprise inside.. Sniff sniff.. But one of funnest scenes on t.v. was when Jim tried to take a few lines of the batch.. Those were not lined.. They were rails.. Wooof 😁😁😁😁
@@alfredobolanos1301 Actually the prototype for the Kardashians was Paris Hilton who invented the "famous for being famous" gig. People with no apperent intrinsic worth being like pooff, FAMOUS .
Saw a Taxi filming at Paramount in 1982. Lloyd never came out of character in the two and half hour filming. Yep, that how long it took for a half hour show.
Totally agree. Ladka was great too and his twacked out wife. Comedy shows back then were so much fun. Threes Company was a great show too. Mork and Mindy. The list goes on.
Slum lord > I noticed that, he could barely stay in character, what a brilliant actor Christopher Lloyd is! He stayed unwavering in bit thru the whole scene.
Actually, to sample tea leaves, you first crush them, then rub the residue between your palms while blowing on them (to add moisture). Then you sniff. So Jim was pretty close.
That was the first time cocaine was sniffed on TV, (or pretended to be) whether it was a cookie or not. And it WAS relevant to those times as almost EVERY popular band in the late 70's was on massive amounts of cocaine: The Eagles (Joe Walsh was out of his mind) Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks once bought $1 MILLION in cocaine) Neil Young David Bowie Aerosmith (ALL of them needed speed to "get right" before they imploded) Rolling Stones Eric Clapton (Almost killed himself with coke and booze) Van Halen Crosby Still and Nash, Young.
I was in a restaurant in Santa Monica with the actor James Stacy when, following the main meal and before desert, he brought out a folded sheet of paper, opened it in the middle of the table to display a modest pile coke, and asked in his normal speaking voice, "Want some?" The place was packed and nobody batted an eye (and no, I've never done drugs). That was the second time I was offered cocaine in a public place.
@@alanfoster6589 Wow. That guy was a real piece of work. That must have been before all the molestation stuff and his suicide attempt. - It's really hard NOT to feel sorry for a guy who lost limbs due to a drunk driver, but holy cow...
@@crashburn3292 I was working on a screenplay for him. It was plain that he didn't give a s*it. What were the cops going to do? Arrest a guy with one arm and one leg? Plus...L.A. in the late 70's. He hit on my wife, too. Screenplay never went anywhere.
@@alanfoster6589 - OHHHHH! You were around the biz. I know the biz in LA in the 90's was crazy, I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE LA what it was like in the 70's. (It must have been great and horrid at the same time...lol) Sorry to hear about your screenplay. That's a cut-throat business. TONS of screenwriters, way too few readers. I can't even imagine how many great screenplays never even got read back then.
@@crashburn3292 My uncle, Howie Horwitz, produced TV's Batman. Also 77 Sunset Strip and others. Hence my connection with the biz. Also, my MFA in film from UCLA brought me into contact with a lot of folks. What I discovered was that I loved film...but not the film business ;).
It's a damn shame "Taxi" has been largely forgotten compared to the overrated success of "Back to the Future". Seinfeld's Kramer was Rev. Jim lite (without the heart) for morons. If Rick and Morty weren't exploiting both of Christopher Lloyd's characters, the cartoon wouldn't exist. Although one could say that there are traces of Jim *in* Doc Brown...
How could 100 people dislike this video!? So funny. Pure gold.
I don't care what anyone says: Jim Ignatowski was the breakout character of that show
Jim brought the biggest laughs and they were all funny but Jim gets the highest praise for sure. 👍
Devito a class act for not losing it when he snorted the cookie.
Damn that last setup and punchline was pure gold 😂❤️
Timing, timing.
Jim was my favorite...he was in a class all his own! His comedy was unique! I loved that guy!
I was just about to say the same thing. He's definitely the best character on Taxi. But how come he's a pastor? He seems way too coherent.
I think he was that character as a one episode deal and they realized how good he was and added him to the show!
Southern Peru to be exact lord have mercy I love this show he's my favorite character hands down .
I love Peruvian women. I married one. Still married after 31 years.
Sadly, they don't allow comedy like this anymore. Thankfully, I'm old enough to have watched it live.
Yes they do. There's comedy shows that are far more controversial than this out today. You must live under a rock.
Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito in one flew over the Cookoos Nest was the first time I ever seen either one of them .
Lloyd was a Broadway actor and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was his first major motion picture (as was DeVito's).
I was so dumb I wondered where in the hell they had found so many mental cases capable of participating in a movie!
Best sitcom and cast ever
Amazing writing ...Amazing cast. ✌ "..And as you know ..you were tardy." "We had the stool ...and we had the bucket."
The brilliance of Carol Kane.
'you didnt run into your brains while youre back there , did you? no, but i wasnt really looking..! :) what a line
I completely lost it when Jim snorted the cookie!
So did Danny, 😂
Omg me too!!! I’m still laughing 😆
Danny almost lost it after the snorting.
No he didn;t.
One of my favorite scenes of any show ever
This was a great show..miss it .they should play the reruns..
....."Tell'em to mind their own business !"....Priceless ! (from 3:17)
This is simply wonderful. I honestly struggle to think of better American comedy than this.
You live under a rock
Christopher Loyd and Danny devito where great together . That's comedy 😃

Peru I believe...Southern Peru!. 74 before the rains.... Poignant!. But not overbearing!
One of the best 10 moments in Taxi and also the golden age of Sitcoms.
A class and classic moment in Television. It is the equal of Jethro accidently firing up his rocket and the WKRP Turkey drop.
74 before the rains.
The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in a pie hahaha
I miss TAXI--So sad when it went off air!
Thank goodness you can watch it on dvd
Loved watching this when I was a kid especially the ending
Love Jim, fantastic actor.

Inspector Spinda I was rolling on the carpet. Lol
So little people are funny? Funny how? Like a clown? Do they amuse you?
Reverend Jim - when commenting about how he wound up in Omaha when he set out to hitchhiking to Washington: "I must have used the wrong thumb!"
That should have gotten a much bigger laugh...
I agree, it's a throw- away and must have been a hoot to write, but it fell a little flat. Great writing on the show!
what talent timeless known a few Rev Jims in 70s.
i LOVED THAT SHOW, REV. JIM AND LOUIE WERE THE BEST
Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd were absolutely great in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
the witting and catting are great taxi was a great show a show that stands the test of time it that good emmys for ever
What a great show
Love this show
What a great show love rev jim

I'm not sure if which I like better, this clip or the one where Iggy takes his drivers test.
My favorite episode was when he built Elaine the castle out of his van
S L O W ...........lol
@@daleeloph7759
Ooh he was so sweet in that episode
At 2:24 it looks like DeVito is having a hard time keeping from busting out laughing.
And again at 2:43.
You're hallucinating and full of shit!
Obviously an expert in hallucinations and being full of shit.
Wish they would bring back the reruns of taxi and night court.
Night Court is on some channel called Antenna TV. Taxi I don't think is on reruns anymore.
@@vidgameman73 The drug addled Jim is a charector many have identified with the down fall of americia!
Only in the 70's
They have the Kardashians.

Omaha is beautiful this time of year!
Stu Pidasso Cocaine is snorted not eaten like that.
Take care and God bless.
2:22 to 2:23 greatest one second performance of American situation comedy.
Christopher Lloyd made this show. And Danny DeVito. With out these two the show would have been nothing.
Totally agree. Ladka was great too and his twacked out wife. Comedy shows back then were so much fun. Threes Company was a great show too. Mork and Mindy. The list goes on.
Iggy was your 70s, 80s version of Kramer!
Yes I loved Ladkas his wife
and this was before they got really famous in the 80s!
true about lloyd and devito making this show. hirsch, henner, danza and kauffman were decent, but only when playing off each other.
DeVito almost laughed. I would have lost it completely.
Slum lord > I noticed that, he could barely stay in character, what a brilliant actor Christopher Lloyd is! He stayed unwavering in bit thru the whole scene.
No he didn't.
he's back... from the future!!
I thought he came back from Omaha.
Best scene ever.
Actually, to sample tea leaves, you first crush them, then rub the residue between your palms while blowing on them (to add moisture). Then you sniff. So Jim was pretty close.
Wonderful clip... and shown in sparking clear 120p.
look at de vito's face. He was trying hard not to laugh out l oud
I had plenty of coca tea in southern Peru, but I can't vouch for the year :).
Rev Jim, the coca connoisseur! Love the swishing around in the mouth.
RIP Jeff Conaway
Jim Ignitowski, connoisseur of fine pharmaceuticals.
When chances were taken and when writing was a craft.
Taxi was not funny without Jim
Hilarious!
Don't make sitcoms like this anymore
TV is s*** nowadays and so are the actors and for that matter so is the music business.
The funny thing is, those cookies probably really did have coke or weed in them.
4 min mark improv gold..It makes you see beauty in the most repulsive things
ha ha
What season was this episode?
This is the best
Every actor made it big
just the best he is . a forefather . A hint of him is in kramer for sure.
Hint..they totally stole the character only Jim is funnier. .Kramer was a one trick pony
ive watched a lot of taxi growin up. Watched a lot of Seinfeld. But never realized until yesterday. Too much
this is comedy Magic
I used the wrong thumb
The original Kramer
SUCH A DEEP NEED NECESSITY FOR SUCH A GREAT MIND NOT TO GO ASTRAY IN "REALITY" !!!!
Paul Warren you're fuckin smoked
Paul Warren you're fuckin smoked
The best on Taxi
Very funny

This show was brought to you by Pablo Escobar, Medellin inc.
