Then he ran all over the country like a moron, got stranded on an island for a while, caught a check forger impersonating a pilot and made a deal with the devil in exchange for da Vinci's soul and safe passage of a Russian spy across a bridge.

“And if your nephew loves you and looks up to you, _DONT_ scare him in the kitchen _or_ slap the taste out of his mouth like he owes you money” 😭😭 I fucking love this series. Lol
This episode truly changed my life. I was headed down a dark path, the scariest part is how normal it felt. I'd wear burkenstocks, saddles even loafers everywhere I went, this really opened my eyes. I'm proud to say it's been three years now that I've gone everywhere with socks on.
Dudes, I have family members who have slept through earthquakes and air shows. It is entirely possible to sleep through Tom Hanks on the Bipolar Express.
My sister tried to sneak out of the house, setting of the alarm and causing a huge fight between her and my parents. I was in the next room and slept through the whole damn thing but half an hour later my bladder woke me up so totally feasible
In my early 20's i would get shit faced out in town, come back to the boat at 3am, and still make muster by 7:30am, 3 nights a week at least. PSNS Bremerton WA! B-)
He's an alcoholic, booze doesn't faze him the way it does to someone who actually just likes to party lol. He drinks to feel normal, wakes up early with ease so he can drink to feel normal. I drink to party, I wake up around noon hungover and don't wanna do it again lol
Mt. Theodore Alan I mean that's not the reason that's funny, you see Michael j fox was in a movie called Back to the future....the play on words is what made it funny.
I think it shows how good an actor Tom Hanks is that he could still show the emotions of an alcoholic hitting rock bottom despite that insane storyline.
I think I caught them all: "Philadelphia" "Sleepless in Ohio" "Howdy Partner" - Toy Story "Bi-Polar Express" "Taxi" "Big" problem "Turner" bottle of "Hooch" "Cast Away" down the drain "Terminal" "Saving Private Jamison" "Sully" "You've got mail" hereditary alcoholism "The Circle" "Back to the Furniture" "Leaflets of His Success"
Maybe he flipped on somebody who embezzled $5.5M. OR maybe he's been to prison and gotten out. The punishment for embezzlement isn't exactly a life sentence.
Way late here, but good quality vanilla extract is merely vodka that has had vanilla beans soaking in it. Easy to make at home, and pretty darn high alcohol content. Not an alcoholic, just obsessed with weird home crafts.
I don't think that there's anyone out there that could play a drunk convincingly as Tom Hanks on this particular episode of "Family Ties." He was incredible.
Bella Marcigliano huh? I’m not sure we’re talking about the same things. Tom Hanks played Captain Sully in the movie, “Sully”. John Goodman is the voice of Sulley in “‘Monsters Inc.” (a Pixar movie). While Tom Hanks plays Woody in the completely different movie “Toy Story”. Thus, the reference was to Hanks’ Captain Sully in the movie “Sully”. Lmk if you have any other questions about this :)
Drew The only ones I can't find reference to are Joe vs. The Volcano, and Mazes and Monsters. They also didn't do a Bosom Buddies joke which seems like a gimme.
I didn't hear that reference in here- Did you think of it yourself? Good one! 😂👌Can't believe they didn't think of it! (I use to love that show Bosom Buddies when I was a little kid.)
See, you get vanilla by soaking the beans in alcohol. You get the extract by leaving it until the alcohol dissipates. So no, you can't get drunk on vanilla extract, but real vanilla will get you hammered. I learned that from Boy's Life magazine, btw.
Nate Hmm. Are you in the US? It's my understanding that federal law prevents them from selling it with even trace amounts of alcohol left, at least without labeling it something other than extract. Could be wrong, though. Still, yeah, you're completely right regardless. Speaking as a baker, even a very small amount is incredibly strong, I couldn't imagine anyone keeping that down regardless of how much booze was in their system or how dedicated they were.
Speaking as a chef and recovering alcoholic I never used extract for a buzz I would put it in soft drinks to help with the DTs that or ginger ale with a lot of bitters in it. And on the really bad days just write a special menu featuring some recipes calling for booze. "Penne ala vodka again?" "Yup, Chef must have had another late night"... one day at a time...
You absolutely can get drunk on vanilla extract, or imitation rum, imitation brandy or even mouthwash, perfume, ect. There's a lot of things that have alcohol in it you can drink. I never have, but learned all this when I went to rehab and certain items weren't allowed. Iirc, even some shampoos weren't allowed.
"Ned invites his underage nephew to have a seat, and turn the fuck up." PLEASE keep making more episodes of this series! It's rapidly becoming my new favorite thing on TH-cam!
How big was that fuckin' house that nobody else heard Uncle Ned's drunken screaming? Or was 2 AM screaming just par for the course in the Keaton household?
"Ned doesn't know, because he blacked out harder than an epileptic at a strobe light convention" As an epileptic, I find this very... Very... VERY... Hysterical XD
Tom Hanks is a brilliant actor!! I remember this episode, but technically, Hanks was in three episodes of Family Ties. This is the third because the first two was a two parter. No, he nails the role of a drunkard perfectly, but Family Ties was one of those shows where the supporting cast/guest stars were just as potent. Loved watching the late John Randolph play Steven's father, what an amazing comedian,......
I believe these are all the Hanks & Fox related Puns (in order): When he embezzled $4.5 million from his last job in *PHILADELPHIA* When he threw $4.5 Million into a *MONEY PIT* Sends Alex *BACK TO THE FRIDGER* for 2 more Beers Uncle Ned is *SLEEPLESS IN OHIO* He gets *EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY GROSS* Which makes sense because it's 2AM in *THE BURBS* Uncle Ned is riding the *BI-POLAR EXPRESS* Alex says Uncle Ned has a *BIG* problem *TURNING* a bottle of *HOOTCH* in his Jacket *THAT THING HE DID (YOU DO)* With the Vanilla He pours a *SPLASH* in his oj He *CASTS* his morning cocktail *AWAY* He's on a *TERMINAL* *ROAD TO ADDICTION (PERDITION)* *SAVING PRIVATE JAMESON* stumbles in with champagne He *SULLY'D* his chances *YOU'VE GOT MALE* hereditary alcoholism *THE CIRCLE* Won't end til you call AA Ned slaps him *BACK TO THE FURNITURE* Makes one last *PUNCHLINE* then gets serious Did I miss any?
what gets me is Tom Hanks is 30 in that episode... and he's in the kitchen with a 16 year old HS school student dork, and realizes the fridge is empty of beer, and assuming a beer run is possible in suburban town in Ohio, in 1984 at 2AM lol, like c'mon! if Uncle Ned was a true drunk, he would of had a case and some mini bottles of vodka in the car, to show up at the Keaton household and to assume that it would have alcohol, let alone be well stocked with alcohol is a huge error, even if he took a taxi, you come equipped! always keep a block or two of beers on tuck, and those mini bottles, stash them all around your home, make it a easter egg hunt

No. It was the 80's. The plot armor was too thick to hear through back then.
My sister tried to sneak out of the house, setting of the alarm and causing a huge fight between her and my parents. I was in the next room and slept through the whole damn thing but half an hour later my bladder woke me up so totally feasible
Slaps him Back to the Furniture still gets me every time.
I remember that episode.just before he chugged the vanilla extract, he said "don't bake and drive"
aw I really hoped “it may not be miller time, but it’s vanilla time” was a straight quote
Oh that's where it came from 😬
GymnopedieTornado He actually did say “It May not be Miller time, but it’s Vanilla time.” And AFTER he drank it he said “Don’t bake and drive.”
Don't drive and bake.
He definitely wasn’t talking about the vanilla extract
Am i the only one impressed that he woke up for breakfast??

he was hot as shit. he’s still attractive! he’s aged well.
He's not dead!

"Slaps him back to the furniture " .. quality stuff lol

+KB It is a form of pun (furniture for future) Some people find it punny.
K B You don't understand puns do you?
Oh wow. Now I get why he said it like that. I'm slow today apparently. 😁
I think it shows how good an actor Tom Hanks is that he could still show the emotions of an alcoholic hitting rock bottom despite that insane storyline.
I think I caught them all:
"Philadelphia"
"Sleepless in Ohio"
"Howdy Partner" - Toy Story
"Bi-Polar Express"
"Taxi"
"Big" problem
"Turner" bottle of "Hooch"
"Cast Away" down the drain
"Terminal"

How tf is Uncle Ned not in prison for embezzling $4.5M?

We all know he embezzled that 4.5 million because of Zach Morris.
They never explained what he did with the money. That's more than $9 million in today's money. He showed up with two bags of garbage.
Zack Morris is Trash
Of course! Zack morris is trash!
Zach Morris was his sponsor.
@dale gribble is this Zach Morris' actor, calm down 😂
4:34 actually I don’t think Uncle Ned killed him self more like he ended up on a deserted island taking to a freakin volleyball name Wilson 😂
He ended up on a bench with a box of chocolates telling stories to strangers.
And years later ended up on a boat that got hijacked by hatians (I guess)
He also bought a house with Shelly long that turned into a money pit.
He started coaching an all American women’s baseball team in the Midwest and is not a fan of crying.
He definitely fucking killed himself.... And woke up as a talking cowboy toy

Vanilla extract tastes nothing like vanilla.
