- From the footlocker of the
beautiful downtown Burbank
shoe repair shop and
atomic testing area,
NBC ignores the
advice of its lawyer
and presents Rowan
and Martin's Laugh-In.
Starring Dan Rowan
or Dick Martin,
and special guest
goody, Carol Channing
and this highly unlike
group of coo coos,
Judy Carne, Arte
Johnson, with Ruth Buzzi,
Henry Gibson,
Goldie Hawn, Alan Sues,
who tonight only will be
played by Jo Anne Worley.
With these extra added
ding-a-lings, Teresa Graves,
Pamela Rodgers, Jeremy Lloyd,
Byron Gilliam,
yours truly Gary Owens
known to his friend as Mr. Owens
and Morgle the friendly
drelve who tonight will recite
Casey at the Bat in Swedish,
and now here's music
to make money by.
- People here at Party
A are obviously not using
Canada Dry drink mixes.
Come to think of it,
neither are the
people at Party B.
(audience laughs)
- That was a gentle fooler.
This one is for real.
- [Gary] How does
Mrs. Buckley stay
as slim as her teenage daughter?
- As you all know it is
inevitable that sooner
or later NBC would treat
you to a real commercial,
so brace yourselves.
(quick music)
(laughing)
(audience laughs)
(applause)
- Hold it down.
Could we have some order?
Please!
Halt!
- Such unbridled enthusiasm.
- More police!
Keep them back!
(laughing)
- Unbridled, oh, what an
atmosphere in here tonight.
- Oh golly.
- Good evening,
I hope you're all in
good health this evening.
- Well, if just these
five or six thousand here
are in good health
that's enough.
- I must say you look tired.
- Well, you know I
had a great weekend.
- Oh, did you?
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah,
I don't think I want to
hear about your weekend...
- Well you wanna see it then?
I got some pretty
good pictures...
- No, I don't want to
see... (Dick laughs)
- Some of them
are little blurry,
but (laughs), - Yes, no, no, no.
- I got a picture
of the Avon lady
coming to my door
at 2:30 in the morning.
- Avon lady?
- She rang my chimes.
- Came to your door and
rang your chimes at two thir,
that's terrible.
- Well, she's lucky
she she caught me in.
- (laughs) Now, you don't
really expect me to believe
that the Avon lady is
out selling door to door
at 2:30 in the morning?
- She was sleep walking.
- Oh, did you wake here up?
- Of course not.
You don't dare wake
them up, you know.
- You gave her a few
orders to humor her and...
- No, I gave her a few
orders to humor me. (laughs)
(audience laughs)
- The CEO mentally left,
you finally got to sleep?
- Well, until 4:30 when my
other neighbor came over,
and she was having a nightmare.
- Yeah, it sounds to me like
you ought to move out of there.
- Well no, she was
having this dream.
It was about a wagon train.
It was being attract, attacked
by these Indians you see.
- Being attract by the Indians?
- No attacked.
- Attacked by the
Indians, oh yeah?
- No attract was another dream.
- Oh well, what did you see.
(wooing)
- Well, how long do you sleep?
- About six feet.
- Oh no, you know what I mean.
- Three feet?
- Three feet you say?
- Well, if I'm curled
up, - If you're curled up.
- It's three feet.
- No, I mean how many
hours do you sleep?
- Well now, that
depends where I am.
- I see.
- You know you have
to stay alert for an opportunity
to fall asleep at a
moment's notice.
- You gotta be ready huh?
- That's right.
- Well you know,
Duke University's
been conducting
some experiments of sleep,
and I understand that
some of those scientists claim
that eight hours for
the average person
(snoring) is all right,
but that some guys
only sleep... (snoring)
Dick! (Dick screams)
- What's the matter with you?
- You woke me out
of a great dream.
- Oh yeah?
- Oh, the Avon lady was
attacking some Indians.
(wooing)
- Tonight Laugh-In pays a visit
to the richest
couple in the world.
Who despite their great wealth
are just like any other
husband and wife.
We join them now
on their island retreat.
- Zekki I've got talk to you.
- I'll be with you
in a minute Harry.
- That's Ari, Ari.
(grunting and clapping)
- There, I've just
pasted your first
million dollars in the book.
- That's what I want
to talk to you about.
You know I make a decent living,
about a hundred millions a year.
I mean we're comfortable.
- Well, there are a few
things we could use.
- Now, that's what I mean.
Almost last year we spent
like 20 millions dollars.
A yach-it, and island.
- But Ari, we have
to have a yacht.
How else can we
get to the island?
- Buying houses,
apartments, jewelry,
paintings, all that clodding.
We've got to cut down.
- Okay, I'll tell you what.
Tonight we'll have spaghetti.
- Good, now that's my girl.
- I know a great
restaurant in Rome.
They deliver.
- Come on all
you little darlings.
It's time for some quickies.
- Oh, Uncle Al can
you change a dollar bill?
- Sure draw a mustache
on George Washington.
(Jo laughs)
(fast music)
- Ruthie where did
you get those spots?
- My husband beat
me with a dalmatian.
(crying)
(audience laughs)
(quick music)
- I have just painted your car.
Anything you wish to
give me will be okay.
(audience laughs)
(fast music)
- All right Ms. Matthews
if you'll just step
back of the screen and
undress for examination.
- Just a minute Doctor.
State law requires that a
nurse be present in a room
when a female disrobes
in front of a doctor.
- Oh, pardon me,
you're absolutely right.
Nurse, can you come in please?
- Okay.
(fast music)
- We could've saved the money
and bought furniture,
but I feel a girl only
gets engaged once.
Pack your trunk.
Let's get out of here.
(quick music)
(Vaudeville music)
(clanging)
(water pouring)

armored truck on its way
to Leon Menard of
Port Charlotte, Florida
for this cutie.
- Hey Danny boy.
- Yeah Goldie?
(Goldie laughs)
- When's your birthday?
- Why do you ask?
- Well, I got a special on
some belated birthday cards
and if I don't know your
birthday how can I forget it?
(audience laughs)
(jovial music)
- Elements by Henry Gibson.
I used to love fresh air,
when it was there,
and water I enjoyed it,
til wood destroyed it.
Each day the lands diminished.
I think I'm finished.
(audience laughs)
- Speaking of a
gotcha, there was...
- Excuseth, excuseth
me Ms. Champlinski
I couldn't help it
but to watching
for you performing
and your sure to
sparkle what is unique-ed.
You, I see we go
to the same tailor.
He says to me, you

Maybe she could do.
I got-ted song from
behind iron curtain
that is absolutely one
poten-tion-ality for you
and I would like-ed
for to teach you
if you would like
it for to learn it.
- Oh, I'd like to learn it.

vibrato, that's good, good.
(audience laughs)
(singing in foreign language)
(singing in foreign language)
- To sound like this
you listen closely.
You could practice.
(singing in foreign language)
If you could remember that
and sing-ed it all together,

overnight sen-sen-nation.
Right.
You're a cute girl anyhow.

(audience laughs)
(slide whistle ascending)
- I would like to read
you a Laugh-In fable.
Once there was an ant
and he worked hard all
summer long storing away food.
The grasshopper however sang
and danced the summer away.
When winter came the
grasshopper begged for food,
but the ant said
you were playing
all summer while I worked,
so now you are
hungry and I am full.
There was nothing left
for the grasshopper to do,
so he ate the ant.
(audience laughs)
(lullaby music) (snoring)
(audience laughs)
(fast music)
- Kiss the teddy.
(cheerful music)
(water sprays)
(women screaming)
- Hey you wanna
mosey onto the party?
- Well, first I have to
help my cousin Freddy.
You know he's the ballet dancer.
- Boy, you got a family.
Anything serious with Freddy?
- Well, no last night he was
doing some pirouettes you see,
and the audience
they were applauding
and they applauded so much
that old Freddy got carried away.
(laughs)
- I'm not gonna go
any further with it.
- He kept spinning
around faster and faster.
(laughing louder)
- I don't wanna hear it.
- You're right, he screwed
himself right into the stage.
(loudly laughing)
(audience laughs)
- Let's go to the party.
- Oh, I wish Freddy
could come along.
Might help him unwind. (laughs)
- You wanna unwind at the party?
Come on.
(Dick laughing)
(applause)
(sixties dance music)
- Carol, Carol do you realize
that movie ratings today
are becoming more
and more confusing?
- Oh, well yes, I know Teresa.
We saw a movie last night
that was rated M, R, X and G,
and it was for mature
families under the age of 16
and it was entitled Bambi
Meets the Wild Bunch
and Winds Up as
Lunch (Teresa laughs)
Winds Up as Lunch
at Alice's Restaurant.
- Different strokes
for different folks.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Big disappointment in the
college cafeteria yesterday.
They were serving
chicken pot pie
and all the students
could find in it was chicken.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- I can't understand that
daughter-in-law of mine,
laughing and giggling until two
or three o'clock every morning.
Well, I didn't know my
little boy was that funny.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Byron did I hear you tell Dick
and Dan you used
to walk to school,
six miles to school each day
back and forward to graduation?
After graduation
you kept walking
and just for the exercise?
- No.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Next season on
Broadway they're doing
a nude version of Oklahoma
and believe me, this
time the corn had better be
as high an elephant's eye.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Who says we're
not making progress?
Why just recently a
big all white university
installed a black
studies program.
Didn't work out too well though.
Most of the kids passed Amos,
but flunked Andy.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- I just finished
a terrific painting.
It shows a large
can of split pea soup
sitting in a rocking chair.
I call it Whistler's Lunch.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- You know the
ABM system is going
to cost 10 billion dollars,
and its advocates say it
will be a great deterrent
and they may be right.
It looks like it's going
to be a deterrent
to spending money on
health, education and welfare.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Goldie, Thanksgiving's
only a few weeks away.
You gonna celebrate
with a turkey?
- No, this year I thought we'd
just spend it with our folks.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Which reminds me of The
Tale of the Dancing Maiden
and the fascinating way
in which she removed
the Shah's impacted
wisdom tooth, painlessly.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- How about coming
up to my place later
for a little Martini?
- Well, okay, but I must
warn you one Martini
and I'm three
sheets to the wind.
- Oh yeah?
- Mm-Hmm.
- Anchors away my...
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
(applause)
(jovial music)
- No Dick, the other,
there they are out there.
- Oh.
- Hi there friends
and neighbors.
It's time once again for
the Flying Fickle
Finger of Fate Award.
- And I guess that pile
of letters under your arms
are requests for the
Stiff Steel Steady Stiletto?
- No, not even that.
This is just some junk mail
I've received in past few days.
- Ah-Ha!
Been carrying on a
little correspondence
with Dr. Timothy Leary have you?
- No, you dummy.
Not that kind of junk.
I'm talking about junk mail.
That's the kind of stuff you get
from people whom you don't know
and don't know you.
- Well, it strikes
me that you wouldn't
have a whole lot
to say to each other.
- Exactly my point.
- Wee!
- Who needs it?
- Well, hold it.
We forgot to give the
finger to the mailman.
- Oh no, no why give
it to the poor mailman?
It isn't his fault.
Many of the states'
Department of Motor Vehicles,
they're the one who'd get it.
- Well, why pray tell?
- Because those
friendly little pen pals
actually sell your name
and your address
to mail order houses
and they in turn send
you all that junk mail.
Ain't that keen?
- Hey, that's an
invasion of privacy.
- Oh, well of course it is.
- Keen privacy, but...
- Yes, it is an
invasion of privacy.
- Well, in that case,
Department of Motor
Vehicles we'd like
to invade your
privacy with this.
- That's it,
and with it this Laugh-In extra.
Now this is just
all the junk mail
we've collected this past week
and there's lots more
where it came from.
We'll make sure you get it all.
Right girls?
(all cheering)
- Still arguing with your wife?
- Oh yes Byron.
I mean sometimes I
say absolutely nothing
and she starts a fight.
- That's too bad.
- Oh yes, last
night she asked me
what I got her for her birthday.
I said absolutely nothing,
and she started
hitting me again.
(audience laughs)

at you and your car.
- Boy, it's a good
thing I had the curtains
put in my car.

terrible shape, that's all.
The backseat's wrinkled.
The rear armrest is crooked,
and the ashtray in
the backseat's all full.
- Well, what about
the front seat?
- How do I know.
I've never been
in the front seat.
- Well, how can you
get anywhere in your car
if you're in the backseat?
- Well, I can get anywhere
I want in the backseat.
I let the chauffeur drive.
- I've never seen a
chauffeur of yours.
- Well, of course not.
She's in the backseat with me.
- Now is that all
your car means to you
is a place to entertain ladies?
Aren't you interested
in how it goes?
- Well, it's been
going just great.
(audience laughs)
- Come on.
Now, the automobile is
very important in our society.
Statistics show
that there is one car
for every seven people
in the United States.
(claps)
- That explains it.
(claps)
- That explains what?
- The other six people
in the backseat with me.
(audience laughs)
- Tonight Laugh-In
looks at you and your car.
Some people like
to ride off on a bike
Or go scooting
around on a scooter
Nothing appeals
Like the feel of some wheels
That are bigger
and better and cuter
When we go out We
are always together
Me and my family
car Seven cylinders
Chugging along in
the wildest of weather
Me and my family
car With a rumble seat
What's my pride and my passion
My friend and the joy of my life
Not my home or my job or my kids
Or my dog or the cat or my wife
It's a lovely romance
Me and my family car
- With the trunk in back.
We're like sweethearts
Me and my family car
- With the crack in front.
If we're lost on a countryside
We simply aim for a star
It's got a kick like
an old German luger
People can hear us
in old Chattanooga
We have horn with
the loudest ou-oo-ga
Me and my family
- Piston and camily
Me and my family
- Byron and Pamily
Me and my family car
Ou-Oo-Ga (fast music)
(engine sputtering)
- Oh, girls, we're out of gas.
- Oh no.
- On this dark deserted road.
- Oh, no, no Goldie, it
says there's still half a tank.
- No, no, no, Ruthie's right.
No, it must be
the car-ba-ta-tor.
- Yes, no, I just had
the carbatator cleaned.
It must be the generation.
- No, no, now the generation
makes the elasticity.
It must be the cyclinders.
- No, no, wait a minute.
Get the owner's manual
out of the glove compartment.
That's gotta tell us
something for heaven's sake.
- Yes, okay, all
right, here it is.
Hang on, let's go.
- That'll tell us what to do.
- Okay, um, no! (laughs)
Here it is, I see it right here.
Yes, I see it.
In the event that your
car becomes stalled
on a dark deserted road,
it's either your carbatator
or your generation
or your cyclinders.
- [Jo] Right, See.
- Naturally.
And the best thing to do is uh,
(all scream)
(fast music)
- Excuse me sir.
I'm just glad to report
that we won't have
to recall a single
car this year.
- Well now, that's
wonderful Henderson.
How did you manage that?
- Well, what we did is we tied
a huge homing pigeon to each one
and now they'll come
back by themselves.
(audience laughs)
- Get outta here.
- My dad's car has
a crank in the front.
25 years have gone
by and she's still there.
(audience laughs)
- My new car's a lot
like William F. Buckley.
Whenever I try to stop it,
it veers to the right.
(audience laughs)
- Okay Mr. Berkowitz,
here's the deal.
My boss has authorized
me to get rid of these cars
before the new ones come in,
so I can let you have
this model for $3600
and I'll only make
$100 on the deal.
- I'm terribly sorry,
but I can only afford 3,000.
- Sold.
(audience laughs)
- But if you only make
$100 on a $3600 car,
selling it for 3,000
means you lose $500.
How can you afford to do that?
- Don't worry Mr. Berkowitz.
We make it up in volume.
(audience laughs)
(fast music)
- My new car is a
lot like Gore Vidal.
Not only is it (honking),
but you try to stop it
and it veers to the left
and it changes its own oil.
- Hey sugar, could I have a
chicken salad sandwich please?
- Sure, chicken sal-san.
Hey, aren't you the man
that sold me a used car?
- Yeah, that's right. (chuckles)
- Yeah, well when I
bought it you said it was new
and now, I just found out it
was actually two years old.
- Oh, well it is two years old,
but it's never been
driven before. (chuckles)
Oh.
Oh thanks.
- Eat it on.
- This bread tastes
like it's a month old.
- It is a month old,
but it's never
been eaten before.
(audience laughs)
(fast music)
- Well, you know that
car I just bought from you?
- Mm-Hmm.
- Well, it's a lemon.
- Well, what makes you say that?
- Well, look.
(audience laughs)
(fast music)
- My wife is a magician.
Yesterday she turned our
car into a telephone pole.
(audience laughs)
- My new car is a
lot like Phyllis Diller.
It could use some body work,
needs a paint job,
and has two flats up front.
(audience laughs)
- All right gentlemen as
trainees here at Fleeger Motors,
I'm gonna give you
a little test just to see
how you're doing in
automotive mathematics.
Fair enough?
Now, if we charge
$100 for a radio
and we charge $100 for a heater
and we charge $100
for power steering,
how much does that add
to the total price of the car?
- Wacker.
- $850 sir.
- Wacker, you're hired.
(audience laughs)
When we're riding together
We know that we're gonna go far
When you drive by all
the neighbors say hotcha
They get so jealous
they whisper and watch ya
Climb in the front and
I'll throw you a gotcha
Me and my family car
Ou-Oo-Ga (applause)
(fast music)
- Duck.
- Feathers.
What'd you do that for?
- I told you to duck.
- Feathers.
(Goldie laughs)
(vaudeville music)
(audience laughs)
- I've got some good
news and some bad news.
First, I had a $10,000
burglar alarm system
installed throughout my home.
Now for the bad news.
Yesterday, someone stole it.
(audience laughs)
Between my fingers
No one asked me really why
- It is I love bug. (laughs)
I am coming around the mountain
when I come dee, dee, dee.
(laughs)
Ms. Armsby, you know
you're kind of cute. (chuckles)
Ms. Armsby, you know
you're kind of sexy. (chuckles)
Ms. Armsby, you know
you're kind of dangerous.
(audience laughs)
- Through the magic of
miniaturized television
we take you now inside
the human bloodstream.
- Keep it moving,
keep it moving.
Keep it moving,
keep it, ow, keep it...
Keep it moving.
- Oh, hey look!
It is one of those other
corpuscles (giggles).
- Hey Whitey, why don't
you go back to the aorta
where you come from.
- I can't help it if I'm
not a red corpuscle.
- Keep it moving, keep
it moving, keep it moving.
Well, everybody
will love somebody
sometime - Hey what's that?
- That's one of those
alcohol molecules.
- Yeah, the old man
must be drinking again.
Last time he got so drunk,
he fell down, cut himself
and we lost Fred,
John and Dave. (laughs)
- Go on, go on, keep it
moving, keep it moving.
- This is one our loveliest
new see through dresses,
very sheer with
just a little trim
of ostrich feathers
around the hem.
- Oh, that'll be fine.
- Would you like it gift
wrapped Mr. Osenwald?
- No, I think I'll wear it home.
(audience laughs)
- And so it is we are here
today to honor the memory
of the late Sock It to Me.
Even though it is gone,
it will live in the hearts
and memories of everyone.
You may now pay your respects
to Sock It to Me.
(funeral music)
(sobbing)
(audience laughs)
(groans)
- Oh, if only I hadn't
spoken so badly about you.
I said terrible
things about you.
All I did was
complain about you.
Oh dear Sock It to Me.
(water spraying)
(audience laughs)
Oh cute, cute, very funny.
The whole thing
is dead you said.
It's not really fair.
We're packing it in you said.
Of course and I believed y...
(water splashing)
and I get fooled, but
they won't give up.
- The past few years have
seen a significant number
of entertainers
entering politics.
Tonight Laugh-In
brings you an interview
with the most recent
government appointee.
- Ladies and Gentlemen
we're here at the United Nations
where I'm going to chat
with former child star
Mrs. Shirley "Sunshine" White.
Here she comes now.
Mrs. White hello there.
- Oh I see it.
Step on a crack and
you break your back.
(laughs)
Yes, Mrs. White I'd like
to ask you a question.
Do you think that today...
- You didn't say may I.
- Well, may I ask
you a question?
- Yes.
- Are you at all
nervous about working
and living in New York City now
because you know a lot
of people claim that it isn't
really the safest
place in the world.
- Oh no, I'm not afraid.
Not as long as
I've got my dolly.
She was bad this morning.
That's two for flinching.
(Dan laughs)
- Yeah well, anyway
Mrs. White do you have
any guiding philosophy
to help you through
a difficult day here at the UN?
- Oh yes I do.
Always do what your
mommy and daddy tell you to,
and never accept
rides from strangers.
(audience laughs)
- I see.
Well, that about
concludes the interview...
- Hey, look!
Made you look, made you look.
(laughs)
- Yeah well, our time is...
- Show me your palm.
- Uh, what?
- Show me your palm.
- Gotcha.
(laughing)
Wanna see my bloomers?
(Screaming)
(audience laughs)
- Hello again.
This is Judy Cohen super witch,
bringing you news
from the other side.
I see Lady Godiva.
I see she's not alone.
Paul Revere is going
out for a ride, too.
I see Mrs. Revere
isn't buying Paul's story
about the British are coming.
I see Hannibal crossing the Alps
and Washington
crossing the Delaware.
I see John Dillinger
crossing Al Capone.
I see Al Capone
rubbing out John Dillinger
for crossing Al Capone.
I see me being rubbed out.
I see I must've
crossed the director.
I see me back next week.
(Vaudeville music)
(audience laughs)
(banging)
(arrow swooshes)
(jovial music)
(audience laughs)
- Well I think it's about
time to say goodnight Dick.
- Well, it might be,
but I'd like to say something
to the teachers of America.
- It's time to go
to the Joke Wall.
- I know, but the
teachers are important.
- Well, I could
go along with that.
- Well, all right.
Teachers of America.
Teach another r
so that they'll be
reading, writing, 'rithmetic
and raising the
teachers' salaries.
- Hey, that's very nice.
- Thank you.
- Yeah, I didn't realize you
had such serious thoughts.
- Yes, I'd like to see all
the teachers' salaries raised.
- That's nice.
- Because I know a
teacher over in Pasadena
and I...
- I should've known.
Say good night Dick.
- Good night Dick.
- Good night teachers
and everybody.
- No, but she could (mumbles).
- You wanna go (mumbles)?
(applause) (big band music)
- Hey Ruth.
- Yeah.
- Did you hear about the
chicken that laid a 400 pound egg?
- No Byron, what about him?
- He's in a state
of shell shock.
- Well there's another
tired chicken joke.
- Carol.
- Yes Henry?
- Do you know why it
took Michelangelo so long
to paint the Sistine Chapel?
- I guess he had
to give it two coats.
(audience laughs)
- There's a new kind
of lawn up in Berkeley
that never needs mowing.
- Well, how do
they keep it short?
- I'm gonna tell you.
Twice a week 400 hippies
come in and smoke the campus.
- Wee!
- Pat.
- What?
(laughing)
- What's green and goes
up and down all day?
- An alligator operator.
(laughing)
- Not only that, but Alan.
- What sweetheart?
- Did you know that
Caesar took Gaul?
- It must've been
all that Italian food.
- Okay ladies and gentlemen,
at the sound of the tone
the time will be
exactly gotcha time.
Three, two, one.
(holding a tone)
- [All] Gotcha!
(audience laughs)
- Hey, did you know
Hannibal went over
the Alps with an elephant?
- That's nothing.
My uncle went over the
hill with a belly dancer.
(audience laughs)
- Teresa.
- Yes?
- My uncle is a
garbage collector.
- Does he like it?
- Well, it's cheaper
than collecting coins.
- Oi Judy!
What is the difference...
- What is it?
- between a buffalo and a bison?
- You'd know if you tried to
wash your hands in a buffalo.
(audience laughs)
- My mother always said
to that love will find a way.
- She never had a roommate
who never left the house.
- Yes, she did.
My father.
- Oh.
(laughing)
- [All] Keep it moving!
- What do you get when
you cross an elephant with...
- Wait a minute, wait, ow.
- Now, say it again Alan.
- She's taking the
whole plate (mumbles).
- No, this didn't wanna go.
(laughing)
- No, I think Alan
should say it again.
Come on, Alan.
- Keep it moving,
keep it moving.
- You know you could
hurt a guy that way.
(audience laughs)
Just I'm so much of this...
- Go ahead.
Say it again!
- Get your hands
off me you creep!
- Say it again.
- Hey Teresa!
- What?
- What do you get when
you cross an elephant
with one of Dick's girlfriends?
- No one cares anymore Alan!
(all laugh)
(applause)
- All in favor of closing
the Joke Wall say aye.
Good.
All in favor of keeping the
Joke Wall open say nay.
- Aye!
- Nay!
The ayes have it.
The joke wall is closed.
- [Alan] I hate this joke wall.
I've always hated it.
(all arguing)
(applause)

(utensils clanging)
(slide whistle ascending)
(slide whistle descending)
(audience laughs)
- The preceding show
was pre-recorded.
Only the names are the
same to identify the guilty.
- That's what's known
as a plug, huh Alan?
- No, this is a plug.
(audience laughs)
- Very interesting, but
also very inside. (laughs)
- Also very adorable.
(soldier laughs)
- Well, hello Dilly. (laughs)
- That's Dolly.
- Dilly, Dolly, don't dally.
Go to my bunker.
(audience laughs)
Go to my bunker!
- (Mumbles)
- Now, now go to the bunker.
Ruthie, we're only good friends.
It's you I really love.
Good night Lucy.
Hello, Dolly.
(audience laughs)

That's a German gotcha. (laughs)
(audience laughs)

(NBC bells chiming)
following program
is brought to you in
living color on NBC.
- Oh, I just had to
come and tell you,
you were just
great in Hello Dolly.
- Oh, thank you Goldie.
- And you know what?
You were simply wonderful
in Thoroughly Modern Millie.
- Well, how sweet
of you to say so.
- Yeah, but I think
I liked you most
in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
- Well, Goldie you
got them all correctly.
- Well, I don't see
what's so surprising
about that Ms. Merman.

- From the footlocker of the
beautiful downtown Burbank
shoe repair shop and
atomic testing area,
NBC ignores the
advice of its lawyer
and presents Rowan
and Martin's Laugh-In.
Starring Dan Rowan
or Dick Martin,
and special guest
goody, Carol Channing
and this highly unlike
group of coo coos,
Judy Carne, Arte
Johnson, with Ruth Buzzi,
Henry Gibson,
Goldie Hawn, Alan Sues,
who tonight only will be
played by Jo Anne Worley.
With these extra added
ding-a-lings, Teresa Graves,
Pamela Rodgers, Jeremy Lloyd,
Byron Gilliam,
yours truly Gary Owens
known to his friend as Mr. Owens
and Morgle the friendly
drelve who tonight will recite
Casey at the Bat in Swedish,
and now here's music
to make money by.
- People here at Party
A are obviously not using
Canada Dry drink mixes.
Come to think of it,
neither are the
people at Party B.
(audience laughs)
- That was a gentle fooler.
This one is for real.
- [Gary] How does
Mrs. Buckley stay
as slim as her teenage daughter?
- As you all know it is
inevitable that sooner
or later NBC would treat
you to a real commercial,
so brace yourselves.
(quick music)
(laughing)
(audience laughs)
(applause)
- Hold it down.
Could we have some order?
Please!
Halt!
- Such unbridled enthusiasm.
- More police!
Keep them back!
(laughing)
- Unbridled, oh, what an
atmosphere in here tonight.
- Oh golly.
- Good evening,
I hope you're all in
good health this evening.
- Well, if just these
five or six thousand here
are in good health
that's enough.
- I must say you look tired.
- Well, you know I
had a great weekend.
- Oh, did you?
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah,
I don't think I want to
hear about your weekend...
- Well you wanna see it then?
I got some pretty
good pictures...
- No, I don't want to
see... (Dick laughs)
- Some of them
are little blurry,
but (laughs), - Yes, no, no, no.
- I got a picture
of the Avon lady
coming to my door
at 2:30 in the morning.
- Avon lady?
- She rang my chimes.
- Came to your door and
rang your chimes at two thir,
that's terrible.
- Well, she's lucky
she she caught me in.
- (laughs) Now, you don't
really expect me to believe
that the Avon lady is
out selling door to door
at 2:30 in the morning?
- She was sleep walking.
- Oh, did you wake here up?
- Of course not.
You don't dare wake
them up, you know.
- You gave her a few
orders to humor her and...
- No, I gave her a few
orders to humor me. (laughs)
(audience laughs)
- The CEO mentally left,
you finally got to sleep?
- Well, until 4:30 when my
other neighbor came over,
and she was having a nightmare.
- Yeah, it sounds to me like
you ought to move out of there.
- Well no, she was
having this dream.
It was about a wagon train.
It was being attract, attacked
by these Indians you see.
- Being attract by the Indians?
- No attacked.
- Attacked by the
Indians, oh yeah?
- No attract was another dream.
- Oh well, what did you see.
(wooing)
- Well, how long do you sleep?
- About six feet.
- Oh no, you know what I mean.
- Three feet?
- Three feet you say?
- Well, if I'm curled
up, - If you're curled up.
- It's three feet.
- No, I mean how many
hours do you sleep?
- Well now, that
depends where I am.
- I see.
- You know you have
to stay alert for an opportunity
to fall asleep at a
moment's notice.
- You gotta be ready huh?
- That's right.
- Well you know,
Duke University's
been conducting
some experiments of sleep,
and I understand that
some of those scientists claim
that eight hours for
the average person
(snoring) is all right,
but that some guys
only sleep... (snoring)
Dick! (Dick screams)
- What's the matter with you?
- You woke me out
of a great dream.
- Oh yeah?
- Oh, the Avon lady was
attacking some Indians.
(wooing)
- Tonight Laugh-In pays a visit
to the richest
couple in the world.
Who despite their great wealth
are just like any other
husband and wife.
We join them now
on their island retreat.
- Zekki I've got talk to you.
- I'll be with you
in a minute Harry.
- That's Ari, Ari.
(grunting and clapping)
- There, I've just
pasted your first
million dollars in the book.
- That's what I want
to talk to you about.
You know I make a decent living,
about a hundred millions a year.
I mean we're comfortable.
- Well, there are a few
things we could use.
- Now, that's what I mean.
Almost last year we spent
like 20 millions dollars.
A yach-it, and island.
- But Ari, we have
to have a yacht.
How else can we
get to the island?
- Buying houses,
apartments, jewelry,
paintings, all that clodding.
We've got to cut down.
- Okay, I'll tell you what.
Tonight we'll have spaghetti.
- Good, now that's my girl.
- I know a great
restaurant in Rome.
They deliver.
- Come on all
you little darlings.
It's time for some quickies.
- Oh, Uncle Al can
you change a dollar bill?
- Sure draw a mustache
on George Washington.
(Jo laughs)
(fast music)
- Ruthie where did
you get those spots?
- My husband beat
me with a dalmatian.
(crying)
(audience laughs)
(quick music)
- I have just painted your car.
Anything you wish to
give me will be okay.
(audience laughs)
(fast music)
- All right Ms. Matthews
if you'll just step
back of the screen and
undress for examination.
- Just a minute Doctor.
State law requires that a
nurse be present in a room
when a female disrobes
in front of a doctor.
- Oh, pardon me,
you're absolutely right.
Nurse, can you come in please?
- Okay.
(fast music)
- We could've saved the money
and bought furniture,
but I feel a girl only
gets engaged once.
Pack your trunk.
Let's get out of here.
(quick music)
(Vaudeville music)

Two dollars is in an
armored truck on its way
to Leon Menard of
Port Charlotte, Florida
for this cutie.
- Hey Danny boy.
- Yeah Goldie?
(Goldie laughs)
- When's your birthday?
- Why do you ask?
- Well, I got a special on
some belated birthday cards
and if I don't know your
birthday how can I forget it?
(audience laughs)
(jovial music)
- Elements by Henry Gibson.
I used to love fresh air,
when it was there,
and water I enjoyed it,
til wood destroyed it.
Each day the lands diminished.
I think I'm finished.
(audience laughs)
- Speaking of a
gotcha, there was...
- Excuseth, excuseth
me Ms. Champlinski
I couldn't help it
but to watching
for you performing
and your sure to
sparkle what is unique-ed.
You, I see we go
to the same tailor.

vibrato, that's good, good.

If you could remember that
and sing-ed it all together,
you could possibly be an
overnight sen-sen-nation.
Right.
You're a cute girl anyhow.

Sun City 1989,
20 years from now.
Sun City today was the
sight of the 25th Annual
Lawrence Welk Music Festival.
The Weason as
its promoters call it
was attended by
250,000 senior citizens,
all over the age of 80.
Local police stated the oldsters
were generally well-behaved.
However, there was evidence
of a widespread use of Geritol.
(audience laughs)
Cairo 1989, 20 years from now.

"Any heaven that will take in
"Gore Vidal is no heaven to me."

I find I can enjoy your candy

toothpaste I bought you?

37% less termites.

old cross country court...

featurette.
(bell rings)
Oh... without a tinkle,
I'd be tinkleless.
Well, today was very
disappointing for sports fan.
The International Tiddlywinks
Match was an absolute bust.
The tiddly wasn't bad,
but I didn't see
one wink all day.
Last year's champion
was disqualified
for tiddling out of bounds.
Oh, his language was dreadful.
Fuss, darn, leaping lizard.
Next year's matches are
going to be held in Tokyo.
Won't that be fun?
Tidderyrinks, ta ta.
(Jo singing)
Oh my little caviar.
Where are you? (bell ringing)
- Hello folks.
I'm here today with a
Laugh-Ins news feature,
and we're talking with the wiggy
wonder of the women's world
of fashion Mademoiselle
Coo-coo Cardinelli.
Hello Mademoiselle.
- Just call me Coo-coo.
- All right Coo-coo.
You started the mini look
and you originated
the maxi look.
What's your new
look for this year?
- Cuffs and lapels
dearie, cuffs and lapels.
- What's so exciting
about cuffs and lapels?
- Well, that's it.
Cuff and lapels.
Nothing in between.
Think about it. (laughs)

you're out of sight.

(popping)
(audience laughs)
(slide whistle ascending)
- I would like to read
you a Laugh-In fable.
Once there was an ant
and he worked hard all
summer long storing away food.
The grasshopper however sang
and danced the summer away.
When winter came the
grasshopper begged for food,
but the ant said
you were playing
all summer while I worked,
so now you are
hungry and I am full.
There was nothing left
for the grasshopper to do,
so he ate the ant.
(audience laughs)
(lullaby music) (snoring)
(audience laughs)
(fast music)
- Kiss the teddy.
(cheerful music)
(water sprays)
(women screaming)
- Hey you wanna
mosey onto the party?
- Well, first I have to
help my cousin Freddy.
You know he's the ballet dancer.
- Boy, you got a family.
Anything serious with Freddy?
- Well, no last night he was
doing some pirouettes you see,
and the audience
they were applauding
and they applauded so much
that old Freddy got carried away.
(laughs)
- I'm not gonna go
any further with it.
- He kept spinning
around faster and faster.
(laughing louder)
- I don't wanna hear it.
- You're right, he screwed
himself right into the stage.
(loudly laughing)
(audience laughs)
- Let's go to the party.
- Oh, I wish Freddy
could come along.
Might help him unwind. (laughs)
- You wanna unwind at the party?
Come on.
(Dick laughing)
(applause)
(sixties dance music)
- Carol, Carol do you realize
that movie ratings today
are becoming more
and more confusing?
- Oh, well yes, I know Teresa.
We saw a movie last night
that was rated M, R, X and G,
and it was for mature
families under the age of 16
and it was entitled Bambi
Meets the Wild Bunch
and Winds Up as
Lunch (Teresa laughs)
Winds Up as Lunch
at Alice's Restaurant.
- Different strokes
for different folks.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Big disappointment in the
college cafeteria yesterday.
They were serving
chicken pot pie
and all the students
could find in it was chicken.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- I can't understand that
daughter-in-law of mine,
laughing and giggling until two
or three o'clock every morning.
Well, I didn't know my
little boy was that funny.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Byron did I hear you tell Dick
and Dan you used
to walk to school,
six miles to school each day
back and forward to graduation?
After graduation
you kept walking
and just for the exercise?
- No.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Next season on
Broadway they're doing
a nude version of Oklahoma
and believe me, this
time the corn had better be
as high an elephant's eye.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Who says we're
not making progress?
Why just recently a
big all white university
installed a black
studies program.
Didn't work out too well though.
Most of the kids passed Amos,
but flunked Andy.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- I just finished
a terrific painting.
It shows a large
can of split pea soup
sitting in a rocking chair.
I call it Whistler's Lunch.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- You know the
ABM system is going
to cost 10 billion dollars,
and its advocates say it
will be a great deterrent
and they may be right.
It looks like it's going
to be a deterrent
to spending money on
health, education and welfare.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Goldie, Thanksgiving's
only a few weeks away.
You gonna celebrate
with a turkey?
- No, this year I thought we'd
just spend it with our folks.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- Which reminds me of The
Tale of the Dancing Maiden
and the fascinating way
in which she removed
the Shah's impacted
wisdom tooth, painlessly.
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
- How about coming
up to my place later
for a little Martini?
- Well, okay, but I must
warn you one Martini
and I'm three
sheets to the wind.
- Oh yeah?
- Mm-Hmm.
- Anchors away my...
(audience laughs)
(sixties dance music)
(applause)
(jovial music)
- No Dick, the other,
there they are out there.
- Oh.
- Hi there friends
and neighbors.
It's time once again for
the Flying Fickle
Finger of Fate Award.
- And I guess that pile
of letters under your arms
are requests for the
Stiff Steel Steady Stiletto?
- No, not even that.
This is just some junk mail
I've received in past few days.
- Ah-Ha!
Been carrying on a
little correspondence
with Dr. Timothy Leary have you?
- No, you dummy.
Not that kind of junk.
I'm talking about junk mail.
That's the kind of stuff you get
from people whom you don't know
and don't know you.
- Well, it strikes
me that you wouldn't
have a whole lot
to say to each other.
- Exactly my point.
- Wee!
- Who needs it?
- Well, hold it.
We forgot to give the
finger to the mailman.
- Oh no, no why give
it to the poor mailman?
It isn't his fault.
Many of the states'
Department of Motor Vehicles,
they're the one who'd get it.
- Well, why pray tell?
- Because those
friendly little pen pals
actually sell your name
and your address
to mail order houses
and they in turn send
you all that junk mail.
Ain't that keen?
- Hey, that's an
invasion of privacy.
- Oh, well of course it is.
- Keen privacy, but...
- Yes, it is an
invasion of privacy.
- Well, in that case,
Department of Motor
Vehicles we'd like
to invade your
privacy with this.
- That's it,
and with it this Laugh-In extra.
Now this is just
all the junk mail
we've collected this past week
and there's lots more
where it came from.
We'll make sure you get it all.
Right girls?
(all cheering)
- Still arguing with your wife?
- Oh yes Byron.
I mean sometimes I
say absolutely nothing
and she starts a fight.
- That's too bad.
- Oh yes, last
night she asked me
what I got her for her birthday.
I said absolutely nothing,
and she started
hitting me again.

- Hey, you wanna know what?
- Hmm?
- Tonight Mod Mod
Rose is gonna take a look
at you and your car.
- Boy, it's a good
thing I had the curtains
put in my car.
- What does that mean?
- Well, my car's in
terrible shape, that's all.
The backseat's wrinkled.
The rear armrest is crooked,
and the ashtray in
the backseat's all full.
- Well, what about
the front seat?
- How do I know.
I've never been
in the front seat.
- Well, how can you
get anywhere in your car
if you're in the backseat?
- Well, I can get anywhere
I want in the backseat.
I let the chauffeur drive.
- I've never seen a
chauffeur of yours.
- Well, of course not.
She's in the backseat with me.
- Now is that all
your car means to you
is a place to entertain ladies?
Aren't you interested
in how it goes?
- Well, it's been
going just great.
(audience laughs)
- Come on.
Now, the automobile is
very important in our society.
Statistics show
that there is one car
for every seven people
in the United States.
(claps)
- That explains it.
(claps)
- That explains what?
- The other six people
in the backseat with me.
(audience laughs)
- Tonight Laugh-In
looks at you and your car.
Some people like
to ride off on a bike
Or go scooting
around on a scooter
Nothing appeals
Like the feel of some wheels
That are bigger
and better and cuter
When we go out We
are always together
Me and my family
car Seven cylinders
Chugging along in
the wildest of weather
Me and my family
car With a rumble seat
What's my pride and my passion
My friend and the joy of my life
Not my home or my job or my kids
Or my dog or the cat or my wife
It's a lovely romance
Me and my family car
- With the trunk in back.
We're like sweethearts
Me and my family car
- With the crack in front.
If we're lost on a countryside
We simply aim for a star
It's got a kick like
an old German luger
People can hear us
in old Chattanooga
We have horn with
the loudest ou-oo-ga
Me and my family
- Piston and camily
Me and my family
- Byron and Pamily
Me and my family car
Ou-Oo-Ga (fast music)
(engine sputtering)
- Oh, girls, we're out of gas.
- Oh no.
- On this dark deserted road.
- Oh, no, no Goldie, it
says there's still half a tank.
- No, no, no, Ruthie's right.
No, it must be
the car-ba-ta-tor.
- Yes, no, I just had
the carbatator cleaned.
It must be the generation.
- No, no, now the generation
makes the elasticity.
It must be the cyclinders.
- No, no, wait a minute.
Get the owner's manual
out of the glove compartment.
That's gotta tell us
something for heaven's sake.
- Yes, okay, all
right, here it is.
Hang on, let's go.
- That'll tell us what to do.
- Okay, um, no! (laughs)
Here it is, I see it right here.
Yes, I see it.
In the event that your
car becomes stalled
on a dark deserted road,
it's either your carbatator
or your generation
or your cyclinders.
- [Jo] Right, See.
- Naturally.
And the best thing to do is uh,
(all scream)
(fast music)
- Excuse me sir.
I'm just glad to report
that we won't have
to recall a single
car this year.
- Well now, that's
wonderful Henderson.
How did you manage that?
- Well, what we did is we tied
a huge homing pigeon to each one
and now they'll come
back by themselves.
(audience laughs)
- Get outta here.
- My dad's car has
a crank in the front.
25 years have gone
by and she's still there.
(audience laughs)
- My new car's a lot
like William F. Buckley.
Whenever I try to stop it,
it veers to the right.
(audience laughs)
- Okay Mr. Berkowitz,
here's the deal.
My boss has authorized
me to get rid of these cars
before the new ones come in,
so I can let you have
this model for $3600
and I'll only make
$100 on the deal.
- I'm terribly sorry,
but I can only afford 3,000.
- Sold.
(audience laughs)
- But if you only make
$100 on a $3600 car,
selling it for 3,000
means you lose $500.
How can you afford to do that?
- Don't worry Mr. Berkowitz.
We make it up in volume.
(audience laughs)
(fast music)
- My new car is a
lot like Gore Vidal.
Not only is it (honking),
but you try to stop it
and it veers to the left
and it changes its own oil.
- Hey sugar, could I have a
chicken salad sandwich please?
- Sure, chicken sal-san.
Hey, aren't you the man
that sold me a used car?
- Yeah, that's right. (chuckles)
- Yeah, well when I
bought it you said it was new
and now, I just found out it
was actually two years old.
- Oh, well it is two years old,
but it's never been
driven before. (chuckles)
Oh.
Oh thanks.
- Eat it on.
- This bread tastes
like it's a month old.
- It is a month old,
but it's never
been eaten before.
(audience laughs)
(fast music)
- Well, you know that
car I just bought from you?
- Mm-Hmm.
- Well, it's a lemon.
- Well, what makes you say that?
- Well, look.
(audience laughs)
(fast music)
- My wife is a magician.
Yesterday she turned our
car into a telephone pole.
(audience laughs)
- My new car is a
lot like Phyllis Diller.
It could use some body work,
needs a paint job,
and has two flats up front.
(audience laughs)
- All right gentlemen as
trainees here at Fleeger Motors,
I'm gonna give you
a little test just to see
how you're doing in
automotive mathematics.
Fair enough?
Now, if we charge
$100 for a radio
and we charge $100 for a heater
and we charge $100
for power steering,
how much does that add
to the total price of the car?
- Wacker.
- $850 sir.
- Wacker, you're hired.
(audience laughs)
When we're riding together
We know that we're gonna go far
When you drive by all
the neighbors say hotcha
They get so jealous
they whisper and watch ya
Climb in the front and
I'll throw you a gotcha
Me and my family car
Ou-Oo-Ga (applause)
(fast music)
- Duck.
- Feathers.
What'd you do that for?
- I told you to duck.
- Feathers.
(Goldie laughs)
(vaudeville music)
(audience laughs)
- I've got some good
news and some bad news.
First, I had a $10,000
burglar alarm system
installed throughout my home.
Now for the bad news.
Yesterday, someone stole it.
(audience laughs)
Between my fingers
No one asked me really why
- It is I love bug. (laughs)
I am coming around the mountain
when I come dee, dee, dee.
(laughs)
Ms. Armsby, you know
you're kind of cute. (chuckles)
Ms. Armsby, you know
you're kind of sexy. (chuckles)
Ms. Armsby, you know
you're kind of dangerous.
(audience laughs)
- Through the magic of
miniaturized television
we take you now inside
the human bloodstream.
- Keep it moving,
keep it moving.
Keep it moving,
keep it, ow, keep it...
Keep it moving.
- Oh, hey look!
It is one of those other
corpuscles (giggles).
- Hey Whitey, why don't
you go back to the aorta
where you come from.
- I can't help it if I'm
not a red corpuscle.
- Keep it moving, keep
it moving, keep it moving.
Well, everybody
will love somebody
sometime - Hey what's that?
- That's one of those
alcohol molecules.
- Yeah, the old man
must be drinking again.
Last time he got so drunk,
he fell down, cut himself
and we lost Fred,
John and Dave. (laughs)
- Go on, go on, keep it
moving, keep it moving.
- This is one our loveliest
new see through dresses,
very sheer with
just a little trim
of ostrich feathers
around the hem.
- Oh, that'll be fine.
- Would you like it gift
wrapped Mr. Osenwald?
- No, I think I'll wear it home.
(audience laughs)
- And so it is we are here
today to honor the memory
of the late Sock It to Me.
Even though it is gone,
it will live in the hearts
and memories of everyone.
You may now pay your respects
to Sock It to Me.
(funeral music)
(sobbing)
(audience laughs)
(groans)
- Oh, if only I hadn't
spoken so badly about you.
I said terrible
things about you.
All I did was
complain about you.
Oh dear Sock It to Me.
(water spraying)
(audience laughs)
Oh cute, cute, very funny.
The whole thing
is dead you said.
It's not really fair.
We're packing it in you said.
Of course and I believed y...
(water splashing)
and I get fooled, but
they won't give up.
- The past few years have
seen a significant number
of entertainers
entering politics.
Tonight Laugh-In
brings you an interview
with the most recent
government appointee.
- Ladies and Gentlemen
we're here at the United Nations
where I'm going to chat
with former child star
Mrs. Shirley "Sunshine" White.
Here she comes now.
Mrs. White hello there.
- Oh I see it.
Step on a crack and
you break your back.
(laughs)
Yes, Mrs. White I'd like
to ask you a question.
Do you think that today...
- You didn't say may I.
- Well, may I ask
you a question?
- Yes.
- Are you at all
nervous about working
and living in New York City now
because you know a lot
of people claim that it isn't
really the safest
place in the world.
- Oh no, I'm not afraid.
Not as long as
I've got my dolly.
She was bad this morning.
That's two for flinching.
(Dan laughs)
- Yeah well, anyway
Mrs. White do you have
any guiding philosophy
to help you through
a difficult day here at the UN?
- Oh yes I do.
Always do what your
mommy and daddy tell you to,
and never accept
rides from strangers.
(audience laughs)
- I see.
Well, that about
concludes the interview...
- Hey, look!
Made you look, made you look.
(laughs)
- Yeah well, our time is...
- Show me your palm.
- Uh, what?
- Show me your palm.
- Gotcha.
(laughing)
Wanna see my bloomers?
(Screaming)
(audience laughs)
- Hello again.
This is Judy Cohen super witch,
bringing you news
from the other side.
I see Lady Godiva.
I see she's not alone.
Paul Revere is going
out for a ride, too.
I see Mrs. Revere
isn't buying Paul's story
about the British are coming.
I see Hannibal crossing the Alps
and Washington
crossing the Delaware.
I see John Dillinger
crossing Al Capone.
I see Al Capone
rubbing out John Dillinger
for crossing Al Capone.
I see me being rubbed out.
I see I must've
crossed the director.
I see me back next week.

(jovial music)
(audience laughs)
- Well I think it's about
time to say goodnight Dick.
- Well, it might be,
but I'd like to say something
to the teachers of America.
- It's time to go
to the Joke Wall.
- I know, but the
teachers are important.
- Well, I could
go along with that.
- Well, all right.
Teachers of America.
Teach another r
so that they'll be
reading, writing, 'rithmetic
and raising the
teachers' salaries.
- Hey, that's very nice.
- Thank you.
- Yeah, I didn't realize you
had such serious thoughts.
- Yes, I'd like to see all
the teachers' salaries raised.
