In the Courtroom segment in the 70's comedy The Kentucky Fried Movie- Wally and The Beave make an appearance in the audience (Tony Dow reprises his role as Wally, but Jerry Zucker plays the role of the Beaver)

Hell Night, in this early 80's slasher, when Peter Barton's character is telling Marti (Linda Blair) about his dad, he describes him as being like the dad from Leave It To Beaver.


In the early 80's slasher Girls Nite Out, when one of the characters is asked what he's going as to the costume party, he replies "Beaver Cleaver"


Screwballs, in this early 80's teen sex comedy, the lead girl's parents are named Ward and June.


Scrooged, starring Bill Murray, one of the fake TV shows they show clips from is a spoof of Leave It To Beaver.

In "Harry Loves Sally", Billy Crystal relates that he was up at 4:00 A.M. watching Leave It To Beaver re-runs in Spanish and goes on to do a couple of familar lines from the series in that language.

in the movie "DRAGNET" from 1986, Tom Hanks and Dan Ackroyd pull up to a house in one scene and Tom Hanks says something like "HI MRS. CLEAVER! CAN THE BEAVER COME OUT AND PLAY"?

I forgot about that! I need to watch that movie again:)

Yes! The lady Dan's character is dating lives in a very 1950's neighborhood.

Okay, not a movie, but in an episode of Smallville Green Arrow calls Clark Kent 'Beav'.

And of course Barbara talking jive in Airplane. "Cut me some slack Jack."

How about the Leave it to Beaver movie?

That's the last place I'd look for Leave It To Beaver references.:wave:

Another Billy Crystal Leave It To Beaver reference. In the 1986 action/comedy film Running Scared, Crystal refers to two rookie cops as Wally and the Beav.

And of course Barbara talking jive in Airplane. "Cut me some slack Jack."

Classic! Zucker Bros may have been fans of the show, since Barbara was in Airplane, and Tony Dow was in Kentucky Fried Movie. Both written by the Zuckers.

Okay, not a movie, but a book. This is from the second book in Joe R Lansdale's long running Hap & Leonard series. The book is titled Mucho Mojo.

The series of books center around two lifetime friends who do various odd jobs to make ends meet, and find themselves involved in mysteries.

This conversation happens as the two characters are about to go to sleep while staying at Leonard's late uncle's house:



“You ever watch Leave It to Beaver?”

“Yeah.”

“End of that show, way I remember it anyway, the two brothers, Wally and the Beaver, they used to share a room and have a talk before they turned out the light and went to bed. In that talk they summed up the episode you just watched, and the problems they’d gone through, and everything was capped off and solved in those last few minutes and they moved onto new stuff next week with no baggage. You know what?”

“What?”

“Life ain’t like that.”

“No, it ain’t. Good night, Wally.”

“Good night, Beave.”

That is a riot!!

How about from Better Call Saul in episode Nailed he mentions Carnac.

Jimmy is explaining to the guy he bribes at Valliant Printing.

“Remember Johnny Carson as Carnac he comes up with the answer by holding the envelope to his head. Well the answer is Leave it to Beaver.
The question is What did the dead raccoon say in his will?”

^LOL!

I watched Carson a lot and I'm wondering if that's an actual question.

I wonder if any show ever did a takeoff on Beaver. Like Wayans Bros. did on Good Times or Roseanne did on some 50s/60s shows.

You've seen SCTV's "25th Anniversary" LITB spoof -- I had recalled a breakfast table scene with Ward having bourbon in his corn flakes or something similar, but had forgotten the rest.

Here is the SCTV spoof for those unfamiliar:

also,once on SNL on an episode where Rick Nelson was the host they did a sketch where he was Rick from THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE & HARRIET and he was walking into the houses of some sitcom families in the 50s and one of them was the Cleaver house. I remember Jane Curtin played June, Bill Murray was Eddie Haskell and John Belushi was Beaver.

Then there’s the rather obscene parody that someone did where they take the opening scene at the table of the one with Kitty Bannerman when Wally has to take her to a dance and they dubbed in other voices and it’s pretty far out. Ward asks June “So what kind of crazy *#£* did you get up to today?” Her answer is crazy. Later Wally shows letters to Beaver that Kitty wrote to him and they imply Wally talks about bomb making.

Yeah I saw that one; it was gut busting funny, and I don't think it was even the alcohol.

I've looked at some of the parodies on Youtube, and honestly, most of them aren't funny. Here's one that's not really funny, but kind of innovative:

That's a classic one. Love SCTV.

Treky brought up SNL and LITB, so here's Bill Murray interviewing Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow.

Hey stevea that was brilliant with Hitler raving and the subtitles. I was going nuts laughing at his finding out Beaver was in reruns and anyone who doesn’t like Eddie Haskell leave now. I actually remember seeing that movie with that guy playing Mein Fuhrer. Nothing better than making Hitler look like a jerk.

Delirious (1991) The John Candy comedy where John, a soap opera writer/producer is knocked out then wakes up in his soap opera. When the doctor and nurse in the hospital room where John's character is, they tell him to look out the window to prove he is not on a set, when John looks out and sees the town they play the Leave It To Beaver theme.
