- Hilarious outtakes from the classic television series 'The Odd Couple'. Check out the remarkably un-PC 'spit take' towards the end.
This video is from the bonus DVD included in Jack Klugman's book 'Tony and Me', a wonderful tribute to his friend and fellow actor Tony Randall, as well as a bio of his acting career. - บันเทิง

I met Tony on a plane, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. He was very gracious, when I asked him for his autograph, and I couldn't believe that I got to actually thank one of my favorite actors, for making me laugh all these years, right to his face.
Jack Klugman is such an underrated actor. I adore him.
That spit take battle between Tony Randall and Al Molinaro at 6:54 is truly epic.
isn't it amazing that even the bloopers...the goof-ups...are far better than anything on today.
David B ain't that the truth.

I'm not David but you are absolutely right.
Totalmente de acuerdo ..
Saludos desde Chile ..
ONLY in your opinion, why do you think your opinion equates to facts?
I love the show but am confident enough not to have to denigrate some other show to prove it, What is wrong with the quality of some of today's Shows, Like Monk, Two and a Half men, Big Bang, Mom etc? You may like the Odd Couple better, but that doesn't make it better,
Do you have Kids? if so is one "far better" than the other? or do you just love both of them, even though they may be different?
I just don't get what is wrong with the personality of people who live in a town called "negativity" Don't worry, be happy!
@@georgemoore7186 … Give it a rest. That’s his opinion. Can’t you just accept an opinion that is different than yours like a mature adult?
The genuine affection these people had for each other is very evident. They worked so well together because of it, and the series excelled as a result. It's a classic.
Rest in Peace Jack & Tony. You both gave us some outrageous TV memories.
RIP Jack, Tony,and Al.
And now the brains of it all, Garry Marshall. What a talented man who brought fame to so many and made us all laugh!!!
Didn't Neil Simon make the OC to begin with?
@@bobforapples8665 Yes but he had nothing to do with the show. This was more the tv show specific
Back in the day when all these shows were on, we didn't realize (at the time) how damn good tv was. Think of tv then vs. now and it's painfully obvious.
Absolutely true!!!
Friday night TV in the 70's ABC ...start with Brady Bunch, then Partridge Family, Room 222, Odd Couple and finsh with Love American Style... that was TV!!
Its nice to see Jack Klugman......From what I understood there was nothing that he wouldn't do for Tony Randall through the years. They were always the best of friends.
Fred B. They were indeed best friends and such a shame that Jack Klugman didn’t follow Tony Randall’s constant suggestion to quit smoking.
@@Agent-xn1hr ironically, Tony Randall died first.
@@BrotherDerrick3X His young, hot second wife wore him out. But what a way to go! :-)
@@johnmac91 his widow is a year older than me.
@@BrotherDerrick3X Yeah, she was really hot. It's actually an interesting story. Randall was married to his first wife for over 50 years, however, she almost never appeared in public with him, so a lot of people in show biz thought that Randall was gay, and that the marriage was a sham (like Rock Hudson's marriage). Turns out though, that the reason his first wife was rarely seen was because she had problems with social anxiety, or agoraphobia or something, and rarely went out at all. He was apparently very devoted to her though.
Thank YOU, Messrs. Randall and Klugman. You guys were, are the best. And you'll always live on.
This is still one of the funniest, well-written and well-acted TV shows ever! 😂. I used to babysit every Friday night as a freshman in high school when this show was first run and I watched it religiously! Now, I am loving the reruns on Decades TV. 😊
Ditto! (though I was in Jr High). Where can you watch Odd Couple reruns? Thanks.
An interesting parallel: Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, who made both Odd Couple movies, were also best friends in real life.
That is why it worked so well.
I have been so blessed to have met Tony in NY and then later, Jack Klugman and Howard Cosell too. Why don't we have actors and writers as magnificent as these today? Thank goodness, we'll always have Tony and Jack. Thank you for such joy.
I met Jack klugman around 1988 and Howard I met around 1994 both in nyc.
It’s not about entertaining anymore, just total perversion & pc which isn’t funny bc anything funny OFFENDS someone.
Not only did this show never jump the shark, it got stronger every year. When it went off the air it was perfection. Only Barney Miller was able to do that
Everybody Loves Raymond too.
@@kendallrivers1119 If you liked it, which many of us did not. Great cast except for Ray himself...
I LOVE LUCY and the Honeymooners
@@larrywakeman4371 ...Lucy limped to the finish line.
@@antonewilson4310 Not really. Even the Lucy/Desi Hour's were of a high standard. The later Lucy Shows did sputter out by the end, but not I Love Lucy...
Pure Comedy Brilliance.
45+ years later still laughing
I was very sick when I was young and those wonderful people could always make me laugh even on my worst days. RIP and Thank you Jack Klugman and Tony Randall!!!
this show was a masterpiece! RIP Jack & Tony
jay tobia Al Molinaro and Garry Marshall RIP
What a great show this was. As a professional photographer myself the way Tony Randall was so accurate in portraying one really is a Testament of the kind of actor he truly was. When I see them now as an adult the show is I mean it has a whole new meaning and brings a whole belly laugh with each episode with him and his profession.
Are portraits your specialty?
@@matthewwoelfle5533 lol as a matter of fact yes😅😉
Odd Couple and Sanford and Son top two funniest and best sitcoms of the 70s! Then of course there was Barney Miller, All In The Family, WKRP, Soap, The Jeffersons and The Mary Tyler Moore Show too.
One of the best TV shows ever.
I just watched an episode of The Odd Couple the other day. Felix came in to wake Oscar up in that filth pile of a bed room and found a half eaten banana on the bed. "Why do you lay down with your food? Coyotes lay down with there food." I am still giggling at Tony Randalls delivery. A perfect show in every way.
I just saw that episode last night and that line cracked me up.
One of the greatest comedic teams, ever.... Randall and Klugman.
Old school tv was way better than today.....the music too.
Real life best friends and brothers. Love his loving tribute to his best friend. Now they are together forever in Heaven.❤️Thanks for sharing.
channel 11, nyc , everyday , several times a day . the greatest show of all time.
Yes! WPIX, right?
Maybe the best sitcom off all time. Tony Randalls Felix was pure genius
They're $how MADE my childhood. They taught me what comedy is..
Absolutely
@@tiradoentertainmentllc.2517
Yes I know right.
This was/is a brilliant comedy! The TV 📺 today is nasty, low-class garbage 🗑!
Jack was a wonderful person and actor as well as Tony.
I have the whole series on disc.
It's like a comfort food to sit and watch them.
My mom and I used to watch this every night in new york in the 70's.
Followed by the honeymooners. 😆😆
It really was the best of times.
Peace and love.
Tony and Jack K. were as ideal in their own way (and with their own unique chemistry) portraying Felix and Oscar as Jack L. and Walter were in theirs. RIP all 4 of 'em.
Amen.
In a twist of irony, both Jack Lemmon and Jack Klugman were both in the film, "Days of Wine and Roses." (1962). Lemmon played an alcoholic PR man named "Joe Clay", who gets help with his illness through his AA sponsor, "Jim Hungerford", played by Klugman.
Appreciate you 😊 taking me back to a time when my dad was alive, working 60 hours a week and on top of his career and I still looked up to him like a God 🙏
God bless your dad--he was probably from a time when Americans were Rugged Individuals. I felt the same about my mom--she and I used to watch this show together, as it was one of our favorites.
No,thank you Jack for a show and laughs that have lasted a lifetime!You and Tony are still making me laugh,rest in peace !
Love you both Tony and Jack. I love watching this show for so many years
I'm 50 and still.enjoy it.and laugh .
Hey, I'm almost 60 and feel the same way! :)
Jack reminds me so much of my dad. RIP dad and Jack. This is great!!! Thanks.
I just placed a request for his book from my local library 😁
I love those shows and they still hold up well today! Such great chemistry and comic timing they had.
One of the best actors ever is Jack Klugman.
I can watch this show over and over. I was little when it was out. Now my daughter and I love staying up and watching it. Still as funny as ever. We never tire of it. What a team these two make.
I was born in 73 and search real hard to find this show and remember the name when it all came to me it brought back childhood memories especially around the time my mother was living RIP mom watching this reminds me of your presence
"Hey, parking is my life." Now that's a REAL New Yorker. hahahahahahaha
Haha yeah
Nick Hill you must have seen a spot but the car in front of you takes it. Or drove eleven blocks from your apartment and said this spot is good. On your way back to your apartment there's three spots on your street. Hahahahahahaha. I don't get mad anymore, I just laugh.
@@jjcnyc6313
Haha that's a good one and true.
Love him and miss him and Tony. RIP
I know right.
Definitely one of the greatest shows on TV you can tell that they really did respect and love each other it's too bad that we all have to get old and die you guys are great man love you guys
Everything came together PERFECTLY for this show-a perfect concept (RIP Neil Simon, you were fantastic), perfect producers (RIP Garry and Jerry), perfect actors (RIP Tony, Jack, Al, and everyone else that's now deceased), generally good writing (RIP everyone that's passed), and strong production (RIP everyone that's passed).
MY BOYS!!! ❤ This show is what you call chemistry. They really loved each other, and it shows in every scene here. _Ma Gump is pregnant?_ 3:59 always killed me. lol! And it's so cute the way Jack just slowly busts at 5:24. From childhood reruns to now, I just Love Them So Much!! I wish they played the reruns more often. But at least we get a marathon on New Years. 🎆 RIP Jack, Tony, Gary & Al. Greatest Sitcom Of All Time!! 💖
I'm starting to think, maybe they were gay? Men should not enjoy each other like that, if I had a Friend(male) that kissed me, we would not be friends anymore, or at least I would sleep with one eye open🤣🤣🤣😂😂
The woman that played the temp was in a few other episodes ("Pushover Page") and just has the perfect sitcom face and mannerisms. She stole every scene she was in. I would have not been able to keep from laughing either.
For all the petty differences the actors on other shows had, theirs was the most unique friendship there ever was! God bless you Jack & Tony! Thanks for all the LOLs, especially with these clips.
Randall kind of made Felix a bit "impure" to me, in that he injected a lot of his own zaniness into Felix, while trying to keep him as a stuffy character. But I say that sort of academically, because I LOVE how Randall acted as Felix. Pure genius, as you said!
MISS YOU Tony & Jack!! A treasured gift you shared with us all!
those guys played off eachother so great they were quit the team
My favorite comedy show ever.I bought the box set and watch it all the time.They were the Best. RIP Guys.
Me too! My all-time favourite episode is Felix the Calypso Singer, followed closely by A Grave for Felix. I laugh like a hyaena at both of them, every time I see them! 🤣
Greatest sit-com ever!
I was very young when these aired but Tony was my first crush and was so confused when I saw Jack dressed in doctor's whites. Thank you Guys 😘
Jack's book is the only book I've read in my entire life (out of countless) which actually made me teary-eyed. Just a beautiful read, and an incredible show, one of the best ever.
Thank You! I will definitely look for his book! :)
not an extensive read but it so well covered Jack's life pre-acting and how he and Tony became such wonderful friends; a friendship that lasted until the end.
Nice.
A classic series and an excellent book by Jack. I need to reread the book. With my current medical condition I just wish i had my own Tony Randall in my life.
Tony and Jack were truly a gift to comedy, to us, and most importantly, to each other.
So sad to hear Klugman gasp like that. Every sentence is an effort. Poor man.
What a treat to watch these 'Odd Couple' outtakes. I remember watching The 'Odd Couple' in the 1970s as a kid, and now I have all 5 seasons on DVD. It is my absolute favorite sitcom of all time. Thank you Mr. Klugman for this video.
@dutchdummy Haha, one of my favorite epidodes. And yes those were the days, Odd Couple at 11pm, Honeymooners at 1130, Star Trek at midnight, and Twilight Zone at 1am. Good ole days!
THANK YOU, JACK AND TONY!! I just shared this w/my 26 year old Son. I wanted him to know more about Old Hollywood and how New Hollywood didn't pick up where Old Hollywood left off. Crying Shame. They don't make TV or Movies like they use too...RIP Jack and Tony...Love, someone who grew up watching you from the time she was a little girl in the late 50's+........
The only sitcom I ever loved!
Such an under rate sit com..this show was comedy GOLD.
Al Morinaro played Al on Happy Days and there was a shot on this video of Pat Morita who played Arnold. Both ran Arnold's restaurant at different times.
And Laverne was a regular on "The Odd Couple" as Myrna. Gary Marshall liked to use his regular crew of actors for lots of TV shows.
@@toddsalkowski448 - Gary Marshall put his sister Penny in these comedy shows. Can’t blame him..
I've watched each episode of the odd couple shows hundreds of times. This great humor got me through some very sad and lonely times in my life. A classic show, that couldn't have been done any better. Thanks for posting the out takes.
I love how Jack Klugman is sitting by a fire setting this clip up. It adds such warmth to the video. I am sitting in a cold apartment and this fireplace warmed me up it looked so toasty. I wonder what genius director had the idea lets film him by the fireplace.
Rest in peace, Jack. You're an absolute legend... and you'll be missed....
loved the scenes when they were in court, Felix was cross examining oscar, then oscar put Felix on the hot seat. then the judge threw them all out !!!! I'm laughing now thinking about it !!lol lol #CLASSIC
Thank you for many years of entertainment, Jack. My favorite episode of "The Odd Couple" was the one involving the maximum security apartment:
Felix: It's for your own good.
Oscar: Felix, when I look back on some of the best times of my life, NONE OF IT WAS FOR MY OWN GOOD!
These guys were masters as actors... Lovely memories of my chilhood.... Greetings from Arica Chile
The Odd Couple has always been my favorite show. I can recite whole episodes. Jack and Tony were truly outstanding and messed perfectly together. These outtakes had me rolling. You just can't find this type of comedy or show nowadays. Thank you to the entire Odd Couple cast you have made many people happy and have put smiles on so many faces.
Their chemistry was perfect. The pit-take “can you top this” was hilarious. I watched it 5 times. Mr. Klugman, Mr. Randall, as my grandfather yused to say, “Ya done good!” R.I.P., gentlemen.
these two guys were genius at its best; RIP
Klugman played the funniest character.
Homphobia never comes to mind because its comedy. The outakes are jaw-dropping funny.
These two made me LOVE Friday nights as a kid!!!
You know,some movies are better than the tv series? This is one time the tv series was better than the movie! I always thought Tony Randall and Jack Klugman were the best Odd Couple! Thank YOU Jack and thank you both Tony and Jack for all the laughs in my childhood!
I was never a big Partridge Family fan but I do love the theme song. The biggest memory from the Brady Bunch I have as a kid was the episode when Cindy and Bobby was lost down in the Grand Canyon. As a child that was some incredible suspense !!! I could not wait until the next episode to find out what will happen to them.....ahh....the simplicity of our childhood. Primetime TV....how it has changed.
What does that have to do with this? This is the odd couple. Let's stay on topic shall we
This show, that friendship bring such happy and meloncholy memories to me. It reminds me of the '70s, a time I was too young to really participate in, I was born in '70. It is so New York, it is so, so funny, so sincere, so hoenst. The friendship between these two men is so apparent. True friendship, a true love for one another. It seems like we haven't gotten anywhere. We keep moving into technology, into what is the quickest way rather than the best way. Love you, Jack. (Miss you Tony)
Another classic comedy that should not be remade
Too late, they did it at least twice
@@louiscario6798 And both were failures!
@@louiscario6798 And both were positively dreadful.
@@louiscario6798 ...at least 3 times if you include the old Oddball Couple cartoon of the mid '70s with Spiffy & Fleabag.
@@serfcityherewecome8069
Haha yeah hey I forgot about the Odd Ball couple.
RIP. .... I stumbled on this a few days ago. and laughed so hard. now they are both gone. two men that made us laugh and enjoyed there craft. bless them both.
iNSIDE jOKE AT 4:28 Randall says "Emmy Winner play your part". Ranbdall was very pissed it took the Emmys 5 years to give him the Emmy for The Odd Couple. On receiving it..(which he should have received after season 2) he actually stated "I DONT THANK YOU, I should have gotten this a LONG time ago" and walked off TRUE story. It aired in 1975.
Piggy-Pike-Music-Like Tony Randall's Emmy Award acceptance speech in 1975 was: "I sure am glad I won. Now if I only had a job."
this show will always remain in my memories growing up.watching this it's like going threw a time travel.best t.v. show of the 70s and threw out the rest of time.
This show will always be my favorite along with the honeymooners...
Writers may be good but the chemistry between two good actors makes it work!
What a great show. I watched it as a kid and I still watch it now on MeTV. It just dawned on me today that there had to be outtakes somewhere. Glad I came to look...it was worth it. Loved the Queerios joke!! RIP gentlemen...and thanks for the memories.
Thanks Tony and Jack, I hope your still having fun in the afterlife.... Smile on guys!!!
Klugman and Randall were great in everything they did. Legends
This video is happy and peppy and bursting with love!
The Odd Couple is one of my favorites. Nuff Said.
Man, aint that the truth. I was a little kid when this show was on the air. My parents loved it because these guys were amazing talented. No one in sitcoms has this talent anymore. And even though I wasn't even 10, their humor and the delivery is still something I remember. Or maybe it was my parents falling of the sofa and some of the lines. The episode that their favorite was when Oscar has to write a book and they go to Murray's cabin and they are starving. Great stuff...
so wonderful. I love Jack and Tony. Thanks for posting this.
I love the odd couple so sad that they are gone. RIP Tony and Jack
Awesome! Grew up with this show, great to see this. Thanks Jack!
Wow. This is so good. Sweet and touching, great memories, two guys that really worked well together and respected each other. And the outtakes are drop-dead hilarious. It takes real class to be "dirty" in such a loving way.
Bless you, Jack and Tony, and thanks for CONTINUING to entertain us with affection, charm and genuine wit.
I'm not sure if I rate this sitcom as the best ever, but it definately is in my top 5 list. Thanks, Jack. Loved your work and Tony's.
Funniest sitcom of all time.
Never jumped the shark.
I've been binge-watching it for the last few months and thought the same thing. Great writing, great cast, and it never dropped in quality.
Always thought you can tell a lot about the real personality of an actor by their outtakes. Not taking themselves too seriously...
I liked the beginning why their wives kicked them out.
I never once thought they were gay.
Haha yeah I know right.
Nope.
And You are wonderful too, Jack! And the show still makes people laugh! What a gift to give to the world!
Those two loved each other like brothers. They are missed.
I'm sure Felix Unger is getting the spare room in his apartment in Heaven ready for Oscar and laying down all the ground rules about tidiness to him as we speak.Rest in peace to two great actors.
When they stayed in character when going off-script, that was the best.
Thanks so much for the odd couple. I love you both so much. The smile on my face with my family is priceless. The theme is fantastic. Ty ty ty. May your souls rest in peace. Dean Juman
this show is probably my favorite sitcom of all time..watching these outtakes was great!..thanks jack!
6:07
Randall: "Do you know why they're called Queerios?"
Klugman: "Why?"
Randall: "You put milk under them, they start to eat each other."
Haha! Don't let the time period associated with "wholesome entertainment" fool you. Even though Randall and Klugman had to keep it clean on the show, it's obvious from these outtakes that stars back in the day had all the raunchy fun off-screen that stars today have onscreen!
