Funny Moments In Various TV Shows

[Skipper Duke]

I like how Deputy Barney Fife sorts mail in Mayberry North Carolina in The Andy Griffith Show.

He's sitting near the trash can.

He rattles off who it's for and if it's for "Occupant." He drops it in.

The Fred Sanford mail sorting in Watts Los Angeles in Sanford and Son is very comical too. "Put it back in the mailbox!"

I laughed so hard at this Sanford and Son scene.

Lamont Sanford:"Pop, look at all these bills! Now, what are we gonna do about them?" 

Fred Sanford:"Well, I told you what to do with 'em. But, you wouldn't listen to me. I said-"

Lamont Sanford:"Yeah, yeah, yeah! I know, "put 'em back in the mailbox!" 

Fred Sanford:"Well, then, why didn't you?" 

Lamont Sanford:"Pop, will you be serious!?"  

Fred Sanford:"I am bein' serious! You put 'em back in the mailbox, we never received 'em!" 

In our world, the real world, as tempting as Fred and Barney's methods are, they're unfortunately not an option. Because not like them, we'll go to jail.

They definitely had great comedy back in the pre-Dukes era. My favorite was Beverly Hillbillies. Nowadays they can't even make a sitcom without most of the jokes being about sex. And late night comedians can't make a joke unless it is about politics. Pathetic stuff. Our culture has really become narrow minded.

Here's a very famous funny scene from British favorite 'Only Fools and Horses'. Del has convinced the owner of a stately home that they can take the chandelier down for cleaning. The actors were told that they'd be sacked if they laughed as it would ruin the scene and they couldn't film it again due to the prop chandelier costing £6,000. The story was based on a similar scenario which happened to the writer's father. The father was initially upset that his son had used the story for a TV show as they'd got into trouble for it, but changed his mind after seeing the finished version.

Here's another classic 'Only Fools and Horses' moment. Del and his dopey friend Trigger visit a fancy wine bar looking for more sophisticated women.
BTW. We learn in the very first episode that Trigger is called that not because he carries a gun, but because he looks like a horse!
