I heard that Jonathan Harris kept a notepad on his nightstand, and whenever he thought of a good alliterative insult (usually around bedtime) he would write it down for use later on the show.
Delightfully Hilarious in Hindsight , Dr Zachary Smith , my favourite Antagonist of all time , Not to be forgotten , the greatest robot in film history... R.I.P , Jonathan Harris
Well done , thanks for putting in the work to string this together !! .. I enjoyed every insult hurled at that clinking clanking conglomeration of cacophonous circuits !!! That blinking beeping bubble headed tin can needed to be put in its place .. ;)
Harris re-wrote 90% + of all his dialogue every week. Actors, critics & historians credit him with saving the show from certain cancelation after 13 weeks.
Agreed a less worrisome time, good laughs, and a great show. Just as there was one sergeant Shultz , or inspector Clueseau there will be only one Dr Smith !
i never knew the reason smith insulted him was to keep him "down" because dr smith knew the robot was dangerous and might give him away( in harris interview)
This is great and to watch it in color, when I watched it, it was in glorious black and white, still it was entertaining and full of imagination thankyou for showing.
Oh, Dr. Smith was absolutely flaming! Didn't realize it as a child, but June Lockhart confirmed it at a LIS appearance once. But love him of course! My favorite insult to the robot was, HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME IN THAT FASHION, YOU FRIGHTFUL FRACTIOUS FRUMP!!!
Hold on ! If the show was exclusively ‘bout Dr. Smith, it would be negative nonsense, the other positive characters were there to rescue him ! I liked Guy Williams’ character in ‘West of Mars’ where he saved Dr. Smith from his own murderous gunslinging doppelgänger !
I was watching a documentary on TH-cam that featured Jonathan Harris talking about the robot and Harris said when he went to bed, he come up with the different insults to say. I believe it. 😂. One insult I remember is him calling the robot a kackling Cracker Barrel 😂🤣 I think that’s what he called the robot. Ya know, I didn’t like the dr smith in the 1998 movie Lost in Space. Hearing Jonathan Harris say “the pain, the pain” was more convincing than hearing that other actor say it.
@@lisasmith8554 oh I know. I STILL remember insults like “bubble headed booby” and “cackling Cracker Barrel!” 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 and when smith said them he was SO GOOD at it. The character who played smith in the movie DID NOT have Jonathan’s personality. The other insult that Jonathan said to the robot was “you better mind your manners if you want to keep your friends”

Yep! Dat poor robot. And the robot was usually the one proved right during the argument 😉🤖
Harris said he actually lost sleep because he would lay there at night thinking of additional insults to use towards the robot.
Heard the same & it was great slapstick-like comedy.
@@strmchsr63
DAT Digital Audio Tape, the type of tapes used by their Robot's computers.
Heard the same, I think that was true
Jonathan was one of the greatest actors in tv history. Rest in peace Jonathan 🙏
He was the best.
🙏🏾
By the time the show reached the second season, the stars were Dr. Smith and the Robot.
Don't forget about Will. 🛸
Most of the dialogue was Smith & Will.
Jonathan was an Absolute Genius....Unbelievably Hysterical. !!!! Loved Him....

I wish a broadcast channel would run this at some time but mostly they run garbage.
No offence to Gary Oldman or Parker Posey, who are both fine actors, but Jonathan Harris is the best version of Dr. Smith.
nobody can remake this show. waste of time!
Completely agree
They were awful as Doctor Smith, especially on WOKE in Space.
No. Replacement.
I thought Parker Pose was fantastic. Obviously a different approach, but in terms of being weaselly and conniving, she was perfect.
He was absolutely hilarious! An extremely talented actor!
One of the best comedy teams of my generation ❤
Great compilation! Hilarious how Smith could have so much contempt for the robot. LOL
Smith was just jealous of the robot. Why I don’t know but I I know that the robot won every argument.👍😁
@@mikelongo5062 as Harris said of the robot: “he was my alter ego, rather it was me, I was talking to that side of myself”.
Lugubrious laggard was my favorite insult. Another great example of using advanced vocabulary. Something no longer available on free TV these days.
I liked "you incompetent idiot". personally.
Closest would have to be Dennis Miller. The things he would say as insults would cause me to go unconscious with laughter!!!😂😂😂
We loved Dr Smith! One of the great TV characters of the 1960s. "Ferrous Frankenstein" Priceless!
A master class of insults!
"cackling canister!"
You jabbering Jedemiah!
@@JoshBruin77 You miandering minagerie!
"Transisterized troglodyte!"
“You garrulous gargoyle”
@@TheloniousJackson "You transistorized troglodyte"
"You quivering quintessence of fear"
The best time of life back then. 😢. Sure do miss them days 😢
I was nearly in tears with laughter watching this!
もう、６０何年も前のTV映画だよ。懐かしい。ありがとう
Well done , thanks for putting in the work to string this together !! .. I enjoyed every insult hurled at that clinking clanking conglomeration of cacophonous circuits !!! That blinking beeping bubble headed tin can needed to be put in its place .. ;)
Oh yes!
😆🤖
Happy childhood memories.
That man has enriched my life beyond measure lmao!!! Great video!!!!!
This brings back so many amazing memories!!

The alliterative sneaky Smith, snivelling Smith, selfish Smith, scaredy Smith! 😅
I was hoping to find an LIS compilation like this on YT. Laughed the entire clip! 🤣🤣🤣
Agreed a less worrisome time, good laughs, and a great show. Just as there was one sergeant Shultz , or inspector Clueseau there will be only one Dr Smith !
Great thing I read is that the robot was actually Dr. Smiths true ego - one that he tried to distance himself from by way of the insults...
Wonderful! I can watch that trio a million times!
Awesome Collection of insults
i never knew the reason smith insulted him was to keep him "down" because dr smith knew the robot was dangerous and might give him away( in harris interview)
Dr. Smith was always my favorite on the show.
As a 6 year old in 1987 all I remember is dr smith saying “never fear Zachary smith is here”
"Oh Dear The Flame The Flame Of it all!!" 😂
One of my favorite shows as a little girl ..... 💕💖💔💓💘
This is great and to watch it in color, when I watched it, it was in glorious black and white, still it was entertaining and full of imagination thankyou for showing.
Only the first season was in black & white ..
You Tin Plated snitch ...❤ !
There will always be only one unique Dr Smith, and that is Jonathan Harris.
"You sanctimonious scatterbrain!"
Oh the pain! The Pain of it All🔥🔥🔥
"You lilly-livered, lead-lined lummox!
Billy Mumi said that Johnathan Harris often went off script ablibing the insults on the robot.
0:39
"If you wish to be warm, Dr. Smith, come into my arms"
"I'd rather DIE"
AHHAHSHAHSHASHASHAHSHAHA NAH BUT WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY TO ME
I laughed and had tears in my eyes!
At least the robot was smart enough to not want to find doctor smith to avoid being insulted
Ferrous Frankenstein lol!! Almost as good as Rusty Rasputin
Tin plated traitor was worthy also
"You dippity dunce" lol
I used Love Lost in Space when A kid And laughed so much when Dr Smith insults the robot
Did I imagine "you bituminous bucket of bolts"?
Amorphous aluminum antique.
"Silly sausage" - oh my
“Primitive pile of pistons”
I was so young. Reruns at night in the early 70s of Lost in Space, Land of the Giants and the Twilight Zone.
Be gone, you rolly-polly rowdy!
Babbling Birdbrain!!! 😂👍❤️
Oh, Dr. Smith was absolutely flaming! Didn't realize it as a child, but June Lockhart confirmed it at a LIS appearance once.
But love him of course!
My favorite insult to the robot was, HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME IN THAT FASHION, YOU FRIGHTFUL FRACTIOUS FRUMP!!!
Ohne Zweifel: Selten hört man solch einen schönen, netten, echten Geist da!!!!!!I😘😘😘😘😘😘
You forgot my Favorite: He once called the Robot, ( who was wearing a toga, at the time, ) a ‘misshapen mummy! ) I still laugh, when I remember it.
Lost In Space became so much about them and Will Robinson in Season 2.
You must hand it to Dr. Smith, he'd deliver a line like "Pass the salt," in the same exclamatory MFA style of classical acting.
Did I hear, "You contemptuous bucket of bolts"?
Presumptuous Popinjay
THAT was my favorite!
Leaky umbrella can be taped over leaky part or sewed up depending on how it was made. Also it would still block some rain just not as much.
Back on earth, Dr. Smith had a sideline business. He smuggled pilfered paintings from the Louvre.
A great compilation!
He makes the Grinch look like a teletubby
Just about every insult! Brilliant!
Robot got his digs in too.
“Tin plated Snitch.”
What? Did the robot tell the family what he saw Dr. Smith doing with the boys trousers? “Oh dear!” Lmaooo
"Danger! Danger! Will Robinson!" lol
Wouldn’t it be great if the Robot turned around one day and told Smith to F off!
snith had impressive vocabulary.
Goodness this is amazing.
Had a good laugh when I read the title and saw that the video was 13 minutes long.
Fantastic.
almost no repeat insults--he was good. Most repeated is Bubble headed booby
I recall the continous usage of the insult... "You Ninny!" 😂
That was a blast from the past!
Oh, the pain.
Good one!
Two funnymen on tv in the 60s dick York and Jonathan Harris
'You pusillanimous pipsqueak!" 🤓
Brilliant - loved it - don't make them like this anymore
Hardware Hyena! 😂
"You lilly-livered lead-lined lummox."
Nickel plated nincompoop 😂
It would have been better if the robot came back with a few: “Stick it you Babbling Bug-chaser!” Or: “Drop dead you Malingering Mo!”
Tin plated hyena and Jabbering Judas 😂😂😂😂
A national treasure.
I like that scene where the 🤖 takes Dr. Smith by the arm, saying, "which counts you out," implying he isn't human 😆 😆 😆.
No one, ever: "Hey you know who this reminds me of? Parker fucking Posey"
Ferrus Frankenstein is the best
Lead lined lothario was hurled at the robot when it fell in love w/a fem bot😂
Dr Smith had fresh clothes for being a castaway on the Jupiter 2
@@dazed-n-confused6439 possible
It would have been awesome if the Robot zapped Dr Smith! ... even robots can take so much! 🤖
Great, show
"YOU BOBBLE -HEADED BOOBY ! "
"Bellicose Bumpkin."....HAHAHA!!!
Adle pated Armor bearer was my favorite insult used by Dr Smith towards the robot.
I think Dr Smith and Frank Burns on M*A*S*H were cut out of the same cloth 😆
Guy williams hired to be the star, by the second season Dr Smith, the boy and the robot pretty much turned guy into a lamp post on the show.
🎉🎉🎉🎉hahahahaha so true
Without dr smith there would have been no show!!!!
Hold on !
If the show was exclusively ‘bout Dr. Smith, it would be negative nonsense, the other
positive characters were there to rescue him !
I liked Guy Williams’ character in ‘West of Mars’ where he saved Dr. Smith from his own murderous gunslinging doppelgänger !

Could never watch any of the Lost in Space movies. Original cast can't be replaced especially Jonathan Harris

There was no one else who could be Dr Smith than Harris.
Often wondered the robot wouldn't give back the insults in spades. Dr Smith...you mortal mental misfit.
Oooofff, you caggling canister. Hmmmph.... You have had *Us* in high dudgeon for the last time.
I love Dr Smith I really loved him I really admire that guy rest in peace Jonathan
"Jabbering Judas" gets my vote.
Silence you blabbering bucket of spare parts
Oh dear.
:)))))))))))))))
Nothing but love to these brothers. RIP, Mr. Harris. GOD have mercy on your soul.
Dippity Dunce. 😂
