One of my favorite funny moments is when Ms. Landers returns to school and the class writes a poem for her. (They think of the words and Judy Hensler reads it to the class)

Welcome back Ms. Landers
We're glad to have you here
While you were sick at home in bed
We all shed many a tear

We hope that you'd get better
And we'd see you by and by
And we're also very glad
That you did not die!

(I crack up on that last line.....everytime!)

I cannot believe that no one's ever responded to this post! LITLB has some hilarious moments!

Actually, I heard a line tonight that had me laughing so hard I was crying!!! I was watching the episode where Wally met a girl in the cafeteria and she told him he had a pug nose. He was insulted by it, so he sent away for this thing that is supposed to straighten your nose. Ward found out about it and of course was trying to tell Wally that there's nothing wrong with his looks.

Ward: When I was a boy, some kid called me "Elephant Ears". So, I put adhesive tape on them to keep the ears flat.

Beaver: How come it didn't work, Dad?:rotflmao: :rofl: :brent
I about died laughing when I heard that!!!

BTW, that poem for Ms. Landers is pretty funny, too!

I totally agree with you on that scene schmoopie.....LOL! I just watched "Tire Trouble" not too long ago when Ward gets angry at the boys for not cleaning the garage and after Ward came home after the boys had secretly got his tire fixed and Eddie spilled the beans and the boys said he called them stupid. Beaver said it would be easier if he had hit them because Ward had called him a "boob" in second grade and it still bothered him. I guess hearing the idea that Ward called Beaver a boob was so funny I laughed so hard my side hurt.....LOL!

Another one comes to mind is that when Ward objected to Wally's suit that he was wearing to the dance. Wally said, "Gee dad the other guys like it", or something like that. Ward asked "If the other guys jumped off a bridge does that mean you would too?" That's when Beaver asked, "How high of a bridge dad?" I laugh so hard at that line no matter how many times I hear it! LOL! The look that Ward gave Beaver just added to the funny line.

I love what Wally once said about his brother: "Gee Dad, you've been lecturing the Beaver for ? years now and he's still pretty stupid." :rofl:

Funniest moment on the show?



Way too many to mention.

When the accordion comes tumbling down the stairs.

How about when Wally and Eddie pulled the prank on Lumpy - chaining the axle of Lumpy's car to a tree, only to have the trick backfire when the tires get ripped off the chassis. OOOOPS!!! :eek: :o :lol:

Judge and Monika both those are great ones.

Judge and Monika both those are great ones.
They are. Just priceless!! :D

the time when the Cleaver's invite Ms. Landers over for dinner. June tells Beaver to take Ms. Landers arm. Beaver responds saying something along the lines of Ms. Landers not having any clothes on her arms.

I'll cast my vote for the scene where Beaver fell in the soup bowl on the billboard.

Lot's and lot's of funny clean fun on LITB. But I loved when Beaver got the haicut from Wally. The cap JM wore just tore me up. Pieces of hair, pieces of scalp everwhere. Gotta love the classics!

Everyone already mentioned some of the best.

Some other moments-

Beaver talking to the conductor on the train trip home in Train Trip

Larry initiating Beaver into his secret club down in the basement- Larry's Club

Beaver and Larry getting spotted on television by June and Wally and the story they tell to Marshall Moran for why they aren't in school- Beaver Plays Hooky

Beaver helping Wally practice for his new soda fountain job in Wally's Weekend Job

I always liked the later episodes, where Mathers had gotten kind of sickening in his portrayal of the Beav. Some later, maybe unintentionally hilarious moments:

1) Sheep-dog, where Beaver plasters his hair down until its a shiny, sick, disgusting mess and he comes to the table and asks "Did you guys notice anything different about me?" Then Wally completely loses it, cracking up laughing...You could TELL that laughter was 100% genuine!

2) "Not now Wally, I'm flying!" Beaver says this as he spastically dances to that same ol' standard so-called 50's rock, playing this time from Beaver's record club record.

Older episodes:

1) The Jelly-Roll hair-style (or "hair comb" as June calls it) episode. That whole thing was funny! Lumpy and Beaver sporting that hair-style was funnier than Wally's version of it.

2) "The other day Lumpy back-talked me and I smacked him right in the mouth! None of that child psychology for me!" Said by (always funny) Fred Rutherford to Ward. Other Fred classics: mention of the "local gendarmes" on the "Barrel Hoop" episode and "No, you didn't get the scholarship!" (in a mocking of Lumpy's tone of voice) on the episode where the Lump failed math and didn't actually get a scholarship.

:lol: Like someone here said...WAY too many to name them all!

The expressions on the people's faces when the kids try to sell the "Flower of the Orient" perfume that smells like old baseball mitts. Especially (1) when June smells it and then yells "Ward ! Ward !!!"
(2) The woman who gives it a sniff, then gets her little dog to sit down and bark at the kids
Later in that episode, after Ward sets up the sales for them, the women that just open the door and give them the money without a hassle - one even just gives them the money and doesn't take any perfume !

I hope I remember this right. Beaver brings home a bag with a mouse in it and is feeding it bread, June ask Beaver, "Are you feeding that live mouse?" Beaver says, "Gee Mom I wouldn't be feeding a dead mouse."

When the accordion comes tumbling down the stairs.

Yea!!!!!! The accordion representative comes looking for the $280 or to get the accordion back. Beaver can't raise the money to cover the shipping charges, so with Wally's help he helps Beaver hide it in the closet.

As Ward is trying to convince the accordion rep that "I assure you, Mr. Franklin neither my wife nor I sent away for an accordion." June needs the extension cord to finish waxing the floor that Ward says is in the closet!"

Just as Mr. Franklin is half-out the door, June gets the closet door open. (It had been stuck from the big according box blocking the ease of opening the door.) On like June's third pull of the door, it opens, and the accordion falls down the stairs!!!

LMFAO!!!! And than June comes half-way down the steps and exclaims!

"Ward!!!!! It's an accordion!!!!!!"

Ward: "We've already identified it dear." LOL!

Thats a great episode, I cant wait to see it again.

Definitely one of the best moments.

I felt sorry for Ward, he had just got done telling Mr Franklin off thinking he was trying to scam money for the accordion....and the next thing you know

There was a similar situation when the boys were supposed to clean up the yard, lost track of the time and had to pay Lumpy and Eddie to haul away the trash. Of course, they dumped it in a vacant lot. The owner of the lot showed up with some magazines with Ward's name on them and Ward immediately says, "Look, if you're selling magazines, we have plenty." The man says something like, "So I see," shows him the magazines and Ward again is left with egg on his face. :lol:

I was going to mention the accordion episode also. Another funny scene is in "Beaver's Library Book." Wally and Eddie come in thru the Cleaver's front door. Wally asks Eddie to close the door. Eddie proceeds to SLAM the door shut. Wally walks over to check the door. Mrs. Cleaver then walks into the room thinking Wally is the one who slammed the door.

Mrs. Cleaver: "Wally how many times have I told you not to slam the door??!!"

Eddie: "I don't think he did it intentionally Mrs. Cleaver." :lol:

The 3 different reactions when Beaver & Wally try to get others to paint the garage for them, Tom Sawyer-style:

1) Lumpy: "I've done it before, man it's nothin!"

2) Larry does a couple of brush strokes, says "I don't like it" and just turns around and leaves.

3) Little Benji just spills the whole can of paint on his pants.

Beaver's Electric Trains

When Beaver and Gilbert are confronting Wally about Wally giving Beaver's trains away to a girl.

Beaver: "Wally, you mean you gave my train away to a girl just because she was pretty?"

Wally: "Well no, I didn't give them to her just because she was pretty."

Gilbert: "What'd she do, Wally, knock you down and take them away from ya?"

3) Little Benji just spills the whole can of paint on his pants.
Gosh, I'd forgotten that one. Great catch! :rofl:

3 moments come to mind right away...

1) In "New Neighbors", when the little girl turns to her aunt and exclaims "Aunt Betty, did the boy with the funny name runned away?" :lol:

2) In that same episode, a subtle moment when Beaver is sitting with the next door neighbor's wife and he scratches his head and says "I had an itch".

3) In "Child Care", when the little girl locks herself in the bathroom and the boys get Benji to climb a ladder outside to get into the bathroom. Once upstairs, the 2 scream that they want out and they're scared. :lol:

As Wally and a girl left an all-night dance sponsored by the high school, an intoxicated man stumbled into the girl and knocked her into a fountain. Ward questions Wally about the incident:

Ward: "....and you have no idea who this man was?".

Wally: "Heck no, Dad. He was some real old guy.
He must have been 40 years old or somethin'".

Two more classics!

Remember the episode where Wally gets the job at the drug store soda fountain? He asks Beaver to first help him practice on customers and Wally's gives him a "menu" Beaver just keeps cracking up and snickering:

B: "What's this? (laughing)
W: That's your menu
B: (Chuckling more) That's not a menu....it's a potholder!
W: Beaver, will you quit giggling and order something.
B: I don't know what I want! (laughing)
W: Look you want an ice cream soda, now shut up!" hahahaha!

(Wally takes a glass of water, hands it to Beaver)

B: What's this?!!!
W: (getting pissed) That's your ice cream soda, drink it will ya?
B: I can't! (still laughing)
W: What's wrong now!?
B: Look, an ice cream soda's 'supposed to be real neat with syrup and foamy stuff. (Wally takes the glass and fills it with laundry detergent!) Hahaha
Beaver is still not happy and looks at it.

B: Where's the whipped cream!?" LOL!!!

Wally charges at him and Beaver says, "Look Wally, they got rules against hitting the customers!" Wally says, "Yea, but they don't rules against hitting your own brother!" hahahaha

I'll just bet that they had to shoot that scene like 10 times to get it right, cause Jerry was cracking up so much!

*************************************

How about this one?

Wally helps Beaver with his English homework. This is the episode where Beaver and Gilbert accidentally memorize one of Wally's old tests that they get the next day in school that Wally gives them as a study guide the night before.

June asks Wally, "Well, how's the Beaver doing with his English homework?"
Wally says, "Well, OK, I guess. I think I finally got it into his head when "early" is an adverb and when it's an adjective. But if they throw another word at him, we're in trouble!!!!" hahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Jack

One of the funniest scenes to me was when Ward is telling Beaver and Wally a childhood story about placing barrel hoops in an alley to play a joke on a friend. Ward is laughing hysterically while telling the story, which always makes me laugh out loud, too. That entire episode is classic!!

From the same episode (paraphrasing):
WARD: What happened, Fred? You say you were waylaid in an alley?
FRED: Right in my own driveway! By a gang of hoodlums!
WARD: That's a shame, Fred. Good thing you weren't carrying the color slides!
MRS. RUTHERFORD: Fred thinks it was the same gang that stole our hubcaps in Acapulco.


LOL!

LOL!
And I just laughed out loud reading your post.
I watched the episode last night where Larry and Beaver are invited to the Cotillion the following few Saturdays, but neither one wants to go. The first Saturday, the two boys are sitting together, watching their dance instructor give directions and Beaver comments "I wish I was dead." Larry immediately chimes in (referring to the dance instructor), "I wish she was dead." I cracked up!!! Sometimes it surprises me that they were allowed to say things like that on TV in that time period.

Don't know the name of the episode, but one that was funny to me was when they were all sitting around the dinner table. Wally was eating and using a knife, his arms were all over the place.

Ward says "Well, are we flying tonight Wally?"

Wally says "We're cutting our meat dad."

Hilarious!

Another one was when they were in the car going to a picnic and Wally had a new date (I think). It got awkward and quiet in the car and Beaver says "Wally threw up last night."

I loved this show!

Here is a funny moment from the episode where Larry runs away


Wally: Anytime you go over to the Mondello's somebody is always eating.

I liked any scene with the Rutherfords, especialy the one where Violet buys Peter Gunn and Lumpy is calling Fred "Daddy" and eating a chocolate bar.

Wally had a lot of hilarious lines. He told Beaver that after buying June the awful blouse, he say's something like " I wouldn't be surprised if Mom stopped having birthdays after that. Beaver screams rat rat rat and Wally laughs in his face. Earlier he say's that the wallet he bought has a card June can fill out in case she gets ran over....:lol:

In "Beaver's Autobiography,"

Beaver struggles with his English assignment, to write a three page autobiography. "After two pages, my life was all used up!" Hahahahahaha!

Wally reads it (off camera) and falls asleep! LOL. His female classmate, Betsy, "a real kook" according to Beaver, gets A's in Composition all the time, so Beaver has to try to play up to her to get her to add some stuff to his autobiography.

Beaver tells Wally his plan:

B: "Wally you know that part in my autobiography where I talked about when I was born?"

W: "Gee, I don't remember Beav, I think I was asleep by than!" LOL!

B: "That was only the first page!!!!!" LOL! "Anyway, Betsy's gonna write that when I was born, that the rain was beating against the window pane, saying pitter-patter, pitter-patter, pitter-patter."

W: "Well Beaver, you can't have a whole page of nothing but pitter-patters!!!" Hahahahahaha!!! "I don't know about this. Having a girl write a guy's autobiography."

B: "What's so wrong with that? Her friend at her other school said, she was head of her English class at Bellport."

W: "Well, suppose she forgets herself and starts talking about the first time she went to the beauty parlor or the first pair of silk stockings she ever bought! Mr. Thompson might read that in front of the whole class!!" LOL!

Poor Beaver! Little did he know that after Betsy's friend told her that Beaver was just using her to get help on his assignment and that he had been calling her names behind her back, that Betsey would make up an autobiography embarrassing him even worse!

Jack

Cant remember what episode it was but for some reason or another Wally is wearing his dress suit and Beaver says gee Wally, why are you dressed up for, and Wally says, I dont wanna look like a slob all the time. lol

Oh I'm cracking up with this one!

Remember when Beaver is yelled at for not being considerate to people, so to make up for it he lets that tramp "Mr. Jeff" in the house? Gilbert's there too, and he goes, "Hey a bum!" and Beaver kind of slugs him for saying that.

Beaver decides to be not only be nice by feeding him and talking to him, he also lets the guy get cleaned up.

Wally comes home and all of a sudden he hears water running and signing!!!! LOL! He goes, "Beaver, what is that?!!!!" And Beaver, with the funniest most innocent timing that only the great Beaver Cleaver could deliver says:

"Oh, that's just a man singing in Mom and Dad's bathtub!!!" LOL!!!!!!!!!

Implying to Wally like, "Oh that happens all the time, what's the big deal?" LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Jack

I don't know what episode this one is quote is from! Help me out anybody, but it's another great line:

Wally: "Gee Dad, if a girl called here asking for me, you would tell her that I was in the bathtub would you?"

Ward: "Well, judging from the number of baths you take, I don't think the risk is very high!!" LOL!!

Jack

I conclude that it is IMPOSSIBLE not to watch just about any scene from "Wally's Practical Joke" and not crack up! When Lumpy's car falls apart with half in the driveway and the other half in the street, Fred yelling at him, pure gold! It's one of my favorite episodes in the series!!!

I've already quoted some of it, but there's more. I just LOVE IT!!! I think I have the dialog pretty close.

(After Lumpy's car falls apart)

L: "Daddy!!!!! Daddy!!!!"

(Back from break with Fred outside)

L: "Isn't it a mess, Daddy?"

F: "Well, with the way you drive I'm surprised something like this didn't happen a long time ago!"

L: "I don't know what happened, Daddy, I just put it in low gear and it came apart on me!"

F: "Oh shut up!!" LOL!

(Fred walks over to Ward's tow chain, wrapped around the car's axle.)

F: "Did you wrap this chain around you're rear axle?"

L: "Why would I do that?"

F: "It just sounds like something you'd do!" LOL!

L: "Well I don't know what happened Daddy, Julie Foster called and wanted me to come over and help her with her homework."

F: "Wait a minute! A girl wants YOU to help her with her homework? Must be some kind of joke."

L: "Why Daddy?"

F: "Never mind"

(Lumpy starts walking toward the house.)

F: "Where are you going?"

L: "Oh, I was gonna go in the house, I thought Mother might get me some ice cream!!!" LMFAO!!!!!

F: " You big Oaf!!! You get back here and get your hunk of junk out of the street and back in the driveway!!!!!!!"

L: (dejectedly) "Yes Daddy."

Meanwhile, back at the Cleavers, Beaver feels bad that he didn't get a chance to see Lumpy's car fall apart and all the hilarity!!! I wish Beaver HAD been there!!!! He could have had some hysterical side-line jokes!!!

Maybe Jerry was laughing so hard that they talked about it and decided to not put him in that scene! It is never really explicitly stated why Beaver is not there.

Tony said that they would often have to re-shoot scenes or edit lines, if there was too much laughter in them, because every line was valued by the producers, and they did not want people to miss important dialog because of too much laughter from a previous scene or line. Which makes sense, because in those days, you could not rewind or review ANY part of a show. If you missed a line, you missed a line.

I just have this vision of them having to re-shoot that scene like 50 times. because the cast and crew had to be just cracking up!

Jack

On Beaver's school punishment from Mrs. Rayburn for trying to write his Three Musketeers book report from the Ritz Brothers comedy farce movie on TV:

Beaver: "Sometimes Mrs. Rayburn gives you a lecture. Sometimes she gives you a note...........She gave me both!!" LOL!

Jack

I like the one where Beaver gets to go to the amusement park with the "big fellows". Eddie's usual teasing getting on the roller coaster, turns into laughing fun for the Beaver, and Eddie scared to death...hilarious...!

I like the one where Beaver gets to go to the amusement park with the "big fellows". Eddie's usual teasing getting on the roller coaster, turns into laughing fun for the Beaver, and Eddie scared to death...hilarious...!

LOL!!!! I love it! When most people watch that scene, they see Beaver's fear turn to fun. But the next time you watch that scene, watch Eddie and Lumpy the whole time! Eddie keeps grabbing on to him and screaming! (Although you can't hear Eddie scream.) And Lumpy keeps pushing him off, like, "We you let go of me already!!!" LOL! Eddie actually looks sick when he gets off of the ride, barely able to walk!

Eddie: "You guys thought I was really scared, huh?" LOL! Than he staggers away as Lumpy and their friend Bill Scott have to walk him to the car. LOL!

Than Wally and Beaver go on the roller coaster for a second time.

Jack

June doesn't get very many one-liners so here's one that cracks me up.

Beaver apparently told yet another one of his tall tales about Dad not being well, prompting Mrs. Rayburn to feel sorry for Ward and send flowers with a note attached, saying "Here's hoping to see you on your feet again. Cornelia Rayburn."

June finds the flowers and confronts Ward.

"Who is Cornelia Rayburn and when did she ever see you off your feet?" :lol:

In the episode where Ward has promised to take Wally and Beaver to a carnival, and they are waiting instead for Aunt Martha and her traveling companion to arrive for lunch and they are late. Wally: "What d'ya suppose is keeping them?" Beaver: "Maybe the wheels fell off their car!" The mental picture of this for some reason always breaks me up. The joy of this show is in the naturalness of the boys and the naturalness of the writing. It always seemed like the kids weren't acting, they just "were".

Two episodes I thought were funny;

Ward and Beaver are building something, I think it was a kite, and Beaver knocks the bottle of glue all over his old man's hand.

Larry and Beaver are ditching dance class and are hiding behind a billboard in their suits. A girl rides up to them on a horse and says, " You guys are all dressed up,you look creepy " Larry says, " Uh...we know "

Mrs. Mondelo is thanking the Cleavers for finding runaway Larry,
as the Cleavers acknowledge Mrs. Mondelo, she pushes Larry real hard
towards the door, unexpected and hilarious visual.

Just the other day I saw the one where W & B take care of the next door neighbors' cat for the weekend. Eddie's dog chases the cat :cat:, Puff-Puff, up a tree. She starts meowing loudly close to one o'clock in the morning. Beaver goes up the tree but is unable to bring her down. Wally says the garage is locked so he can't get the ladder, so he's got to wake up Ward. Needless to day, Ward is not a happy camper. :mad: He gets Beaver & Puff-Puff down from the tree and is about to yell at them when June announces the time, so Ward says:
"I won't ask what's been going on here all day. I won't ask how the cat got up the tree. I won't ask how YOU got up the tree, Beaver. But I'll tell you one thing -- tomorrow you'd better be ready with some very SNAPPY ANSWERS!! Come on, let's go to bed." (Walks off w/June.)

Wally says: "I think we'd better take Puff-Puff upstairs and get to sleep."

Beaver syas: "You can get to sleep if YOU wanna -- but I'm gonna spend the rest of the night thinking up snappy answers for dad." (They exit.)

Hilarious!

p.s.: My friend named her cat Puff-Puff b/c of this episode!:lol:

Mrs. Mondelo is thanking the Cleavers for finding runaway Larry,
as the Cleavers acknowledge Mrs. Mondelo, she pushes Larry real hard
towards the door, unexpected and hilarious visual.

LOL! That is a classic episode!!!! Any episodes with Mrs. Mondello yelling at Larry (or Fred yelling at Lumpy are GOLD!)

Larry's Mother had the greatest nervous and upset voice of any TV Mother in history! Notice that when she is nervous or upset and has a dish of candy or nuts in range she always nibbling on them. Anyway about that episode where Ward and June come in from grocery shopping and Larry's Mother calls, Ward gets the phone: (paraphrased from memory)

MM- "Oh Mr. Cleaver I'm terribly sorry to bother you, but my Larry has disappeared!"

W-"Disappeared?"

MM-"Yes, I sent him to his room to punish him and told him to stay there until I told him to come out, and than when I went to his room to tell him he could come out he was gone!"

W:- "Are you sure?"

MM-" Yes, and his suitcase is gone too and his father's away in Cincinnati!!!"

W-" Do you want me to go out and look for him?"

MM-"Oh, thank you Mr. Cleaver no...Sometimes I just think that everything would be solved if my daughter found a husband! Than, we'd always have a man around the house to give it to Larry when his father's out of town."

W-(Not sure what to say) "Ummm, yes that would be a comfort." We'll if we see Larry around anyplace we'll be sure to let you know."

MM-"Oh thank you Mr. Cleaver, goodbye.

June- "Oh Mrs. Mondello most be terribly upset"

W-"Yea, her husbands away again."

(Not sure of these next lines, but they are classics are they in this episode? If they are, they were cut from Antenna TV."

J-" Well, Ward, maybe you outta get the car out and go look for Larry

W-"Dear, you know how rattled she gets when Mr. Mondello's gone. The last time Larry "ran away" she had the police out looking for him. Turned out he was home asleep in the closet!!!!" LMFAO!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

Jack

It was funny when Beaver came down the steps with his hair like that.
And every time the showed someone with the hair style, they played that jazzy music for a few seconds.
Well when Beaver came down, it was funny when Mrs. Cleaver had finally had enough, and got mad and ordered Beaver up the steps to clean his hair and comb it right, then she told Wally the same thing, and he said "Why" and she said something like cause I'm your mother and I'm telling you to.
It was funny too, cause Mr Cleaver was usually the one to reprimand the boys, but this time she did it.

Older episodes:

1) The Jelly-Roll hair-style (or "hair comb" as June calls it) episode. That whole thing was funny! Lumpy and Beaver sporting that hair-style was funnier than Wally's version of it.

Yeah, that was hilarious..!

l got a kick out of it when Larry was mad at Beaver, and told his mother something like he hoped Beaver would fall down a sewer, and an alligator would come along and eat him.

Then, in "Beavers Short Pants" I liked when Beaver punched Larry at school, for calling him a sissy. Then he pulled Judy's hair..............LOL

"Beaver's English Test" Wally tutoring Beaver is classic comedy!

See this classic episode on DVD if you can because there's a few more hysterical lines when Wally is frustrated helping Beaver and Beaver has some great responses. These are usually cut in syndication.

W: OK, Beaver now, listen to these sentences, "The early bird catches the worm" "We arrived early." In which of these sentences is early an Adjective?"

B: "Huh?"

W: "Look Beaver, in the first sentence. The early bird, "early" is an adjective. It's like a brown bird or a blue bird. OK, now in the second sentence, is early an adverb or an adjective?

B: "I forgot the sentences!!!" LOL!

W: "The early bird catches the worm." "We arrived early."

B:" Now I forgot the question." LOL!

W: In the second sentence, Is early an adverb or an adjective?"

B: "I don't know, there's no bird in that sentence!!!!" LOL!

W. Look Beaver, in the second sentence, early is an adverb because it helps the verb."

B: "Oh, I thought it was an adverb because it came at the end of the sentence!" LOL!

Jack

PS. In real life, Jerry had dyslexia, but was a great auditory learner and memorizer of his lines on the show. But he said that often he would have to read scripts a few times to get the full meaning of the elements of the dialogue. The kids had daily schooling, (on the set,) so it is possible that Jerry was in real life studying adverbs and adjectives for his English class and really struggling. The tutoring and response dialog is just so real in that scene!

How about this one?

Wally helps Beaver with his English homework. This is the episode where Beaver and Gilbert accidentally memorize one of Wally's old tests that they get the next day in school that Wally gives them as a study guide the night before.

June asks Wally, "Well, how's the Beaver doing with his English homework?"
Wally says, "Well, OK, I guess. I think I finally got it into his head when "early" is an adverb and when it's an adjective. But if they throw another word at him, we're in trouble!!!!" hahahahahahahahaha!!!!

My Favorite was from "Substitute Father" Wally writes a school note for Beaver.

Dear Miss Landers,

We are all shocked by what the Beaver said. Especially my wife who is a lady. I have washed his mouth out with soap and have beat him up three times. Because I have done this good, I won't have to come down to school.

Yours Truly,

Ward Cleaver, Theodore's father

I am pretty sure that note was what Wally wrote to Ms. Canfield in "Beaver Gets Spelled." That was the one where Beaver gets a note to take home, assumes it's a terrible thing because it's from a teacher. Wally says, "I'll write something that will cover anything Bad you did." The verbiage in the note, would be too juvenile for Substitute Father, which is later in the series.

The note was actually Ms. Canfield saying that she would like Beaver to play Smokey the Bear in the school pageant.

In "Substitute Father" Beaver gets in trouble at school for swearing at a kid named Arther who trips him in the hall. The bell rings as Beaver swears, but Ms. Landers hears it, insisting that she must talk to one of Beaver's parents.

Wally whispers to Beaver what he said to Arther. Wally says, "WOW!, you can't say that to Mom! I don't even know if you can say that to Dad." Ward is so confident that Wally can take care of the house when he's on the trip. neither Wally nor Beaver want to let him down.

At first reluctant, Wally agrees to go down with Beaver to talk to Ms. Landers. A little girl snickers at Wally on the bench outside Ms. Landers' classroom. Wally says something like, "What's so funny?" "Nothing, she says, I just never saw such a big kid in a grammar school before."

Ms. Landers at first is angry that Beaver did not bring one of his parents, or at least an adult to discuss the language Beaver used. Wally tells her how Beaver felt bad abut using the language and knows how wrong it is. He cites examples of good moral character and how Beaver tries to live up to Wally in a positive way. Ms. Landers is impressed by Wally's maternity and accepts him as "Beaver's "Substitute Father."

Later at dinner, Beaver feels guilty and tells June that he said a bad word and is so ashamed by it that he asks her not to ask him what it was. She senses Beaver's shame and embarrassment and I think Beaver mentions how Wally helped out. I don't recall Ward even knowing about it when he gets home from his trip.

Jack, Thanks for the response. There were 2 separate episodes when Wally wrote notes to Beaver`s teachers. In the episode "Beaver gets spelled" Wally wrote a letter to Mrs Canfield pretending to be Mrs Cleaver. Wally wrote
Dear Miss Canfield,

I have received your note dated two days ago, the one sent home with Theodore. I have whipped him, his father has whipped him. He is sorry, we are very sorry.
Your friend,
Mrs. Ward Cleaver
(Theodor’s mother)
You can see that episode on you tube just search "Beaver gets spelled"

In the episode "Subsitute Father" Wally wrote the note pretending to be Mr Cleaver:
Dear Miss Landers,

We are all shocked by what the Beaver said. Especially my wife who is a lady. I have washed his mouth out with soap and have beat him up three times. Because I have done this good, I won't have to come down to school.
Yours Truly,
Ward Cleaver, Theodore's father

It`s an easy mix up because the episodes or notes were similar. "Spelled" was episode 1 season 1. "Subsitute Father" was season 4

Q

Quick clarification. In "Substitute Father" Beaver wrote the note to Miss Landers and showed to it Wally. I had thought Wally had written both notes that were noted above. Steve

There are so many it's hard to know where to start. I always thought the ep where Beaver gets stuck in the soup was funny. Poor Beav - the "little goof" really goofs it up big time in this one.

"Wally's Weekend Job" #163 has some funny spots. Like when Mr. Gibson embarrasses Eddie, who just got done being Mr. Big Shot, and (to everyone's great surprise lol) is exposed as a full-of-sh** windbag. The scenes where Wally uses the ice cream to get even with Eddie and Lumpy was kind of comical. I always giggle when I see that big doofus Lumpy screaming Daaaaady whenever something goes wrong.

Beaver trying to study his English in "Beaver's English Test."

Beaver Reading: "It was a fast train." "The horse runs fast."

Beaver thinking: "Bet the horse couldn't beat the train!" LOL!

Jack

"Beaver's English Test" Wally tutoring Beaver is classic comedy!

See this classic episode on DVD if you can because there's a few more hysterical lines when Wally is frustrated helping Beaver and Beaver has some great responses. These are usually cut in syndication.

W: OK, Beaver now, listen to these sentences, "The early bird catches the worm" "We arrived early." In which of these sentences is early an Adjective?"

B: "Huh?"

W: "Look Beaver, in the first sentence. The early bird, "early" is an adjective. It's like a brown bird or a blue bird. OK, now in the second sentence, is early an adverb or an adjective?

B: "I forgot the sentences!!!" LOL!

W: "The early bird catches the worm." "We arrived early."

B:" Now I forgot the question." LOL!

W: In the second sentence, Is early an adverb or an adjective?"

B: "I don't know, there's no bird in that sentence!!!!" LOL!

W. Look Beaver, in the second sentence, early is an adverb because it helps the verb."

B: "Oh, I thought it was an adverb because it came at the end of the sentence!" LOL!

Jack

PS. In real life, Jerry had dyslexia, but was a great auditory learner and memorizer of his lines on the show. But he said that often he would have to read scripts a few times to get the full meaning of the elements of the dialogue. The kids had daily schooling, (on the set,) so it is possible that Jerry was in real life studying adverbs and adjectives for his English class and really struggling. The tutoring and response dialog is just so real in that scene!

More classics! Wally tutoring Beaver, this time in Math:

W: "OK Beaver, let's take this next problem, 576 over 179."

B: "Can't we take another one?"

W: "What's wrong with that one?"

B: "That one sounds like it comes out with a whole bunch of junk left over!"

W: "There's nothing wrong with having a whole bunch of junk left over!"

B: "There is when you don't know what to do with it!"

W: (frustrated): "Boy Beaver! You must be the dumbest kid in your whole class!"

B: "I am not! I'm good in Science, and I'm good in History, and I'm good in English, and I was even good in Arithmetic till they started having problems with junk left over." LOL!

(Beaver looking at his report card, B+ grade in Arithmetic, unknown to both Wally and he at the time, changed by Eddie, from a D-, as a cruel joke.)

W: "Beaver, you've been staring at that report card for ten minutes now."

B: "I'm just looking at that B+ in Arithmetic. And in my tests I got a 70, a 64, and a 52. That doesn't add up to a B+." LOL!

W: "Well, maybe Ms. Landers gave you some extra points for neatness."

B: "Nah, it'd be pretty hard to be that neat." LOL! Anyway, I'm pretty crummy in neatness."

Another Beaver Math classic quote!

B: "Dad, in business, how often do you have to invert fractions?"

Ward: " Well, almost never Beaver, but that's not the point. Doing problems like these teaches you how to think, prepares you for your future life."

B: "Gee. I didn't know school prepared you for anything. I thought it was just something ya gotta sit through!" LOL!

l liked, I think it was in The Visiting Aunts, Aunt Martha looked a a picture of Beaver, and says "Why Theodore, your crying" And Beaver goes, "Yeah...Wally must have socked me" And Aunt Maratha's jaw dropped.

l got a kick out of it when Larry was mad at Beaver, and told his mother something like he hoped Beaver would fall down a sewer, and an alligator would come along and eat him.

That's one of Larry and Beaver's classic fight scenes!

Not sure which one is first in the sequence, but Beaver comes home and exclaims to June:

"I HATE THAT LARRY MONDELLO! HE'S A BIG DUMB STUPID KID WITH NO BRAINS! AND I"M GONNA HATE HIM EVEN MORE WHEN HE'S A BIG DUMB STUPID OLD MAN!!!"

June: "Beaver!"

Next scene:

Mrs. Mondello- "I just spoke to Mrs. Cleaver, and I told her that Beaver's on his way home."

Larry says: "I HOPE THAT RAT, BEAVER CLEAVER, FALLS IN A SEWER! AND A GREAT BIG ALLIGATOR EATS HIM UP!"

Mrs. Mondello: "Why Larry!"

miss rayburn;s deadpan reactions to beaver;s discriptons of the 3 muskateers in the books report ep:lol:

miss rayburn;s deadpan reactions to beaver;s discriptons of the 3 muskateers in the books report ep:lol:

Beaver (reading) "The story starts out with these three funny guys..."

Mrs. Rayburn:(interrupting) "Three funny guys?"

Beaver: "Oh yes ma'am. The Three Musketeers. They were very funny!" LOL!

Love it!!!!

You can (or at least used to be able to) see the Don Ameche/Riz Brothers' Three Musketeers movie on You Tube! In fact, I saw a few scenes. One of the songs, (Yes, "The Three Musketeers did a lot of singing!") is the "Chicken Plucking Song!!!" LOL!

It cracks me up imagining Beaver taking notes from that for his report! LOL!

Yea, Beaver got lectured pretty harshly in that episode, AND he also had to write two extra book reports within three weeks. PLUS, Mrs. Rayburn gives him a note to take home. As Beaver says sadly:

"Sometimes Mrs. Rayburn gives you a lecture, sometimes she gives you a note.....She gave me both!" LOL!

Jack

Hysterical line from Beaver in "Bachelor At Large." (Eddie Moves Out)

Lumpy: "How did you manage to work it so that you could leave your family?"

Eddie: "Simple, you just tell your old man you're moving out, than you leave before he starts bawling."

Beaver: "The only time your Dad will start bawling is if you move back home!" Hahahahahaha!!!!!!

l liked, I think it was in The Visiting Aunts, Aunt Martha looked a a picture of Beaver, and says "Why Theodore, your crying" And Beaver goes, "Yeah...Wally must have socked me" And Aunt Maratha's jaw dropped.
no one else thought that was funny?
I was ROFLMAO.

How about in The State Vers. Beaver
When Beaver and Larry got pulled over in the Go Cart, And of course Larry eating his Apple, says, "Ya know Beaver you shouldn't have taken the car out"
I could just kill him.
Then where Wally and Beaver were in court, and Beaver says his parents were "Working on a Ship" The judge asks the name of the ship, Beaver asks Wally.
Then Beaver breaks down and cries, and tells the truth, and says "Larry Mondello was eating Apples"
I was ROFLMAO.

I thought the story he told about the Three Muskateers when he had to write a report about the book, but never read it and watched the movie was pretty funny. And, when Beaver had that girl write a report about his life because he couldn't think of anything exciting that has happened and she writes a crazy story because she's made at him... that was pretty funny. And, of course, the story he wrote about his parents when he had to write some kind of report about them was pretty funny too.

I thought that scene when Beaver tells aunt Martha "Wally must have socked me." was pretty funny too. When he said that to her and she was so shocked I was laughing at it too.

Also liked the scene where Beaver got a new record (when he joined the record club) and was playing it and told Wally, "How about that beat Wally?" and was dancing around the room. I was LOL at that one.

Classic Moments That I Think Are Ad-Libbed!

1.) Wally cracking up at Beaver with all the hair spray on his head in "Beaver the Sheepdog."

2.) Wally having a conniption when he throws the papers around when he first tries to call The White Fox and they won't make a reservation for him. (Beaver's looking for a current event for school.)

3.) Wally's bed falling apart in a great scene from "Wally's Practical Joke!" (I always had a feeling it was Jerry's idea to have the producers take the slats out of the bed! so when Tony sat on it the bed would collapse!) I found this funny because I had a bed that did the same thing till it got fixed!

4.) Beaver making up with Wally at the end of "The Party Spoiler" and Wally gets zapped with the little handshake shocker!

5.) Wally making hamburgers for Beaver and he when Ward and June are out and he's practicing flipping them, one of the patties falls on the floor (I don't think that was supposed to happen) but Wally says, while looking at the hamburger that was on the floor, "That's Beaver's" and the one on the counter, "that's mine."

6.) Eddie's reactions both on the roller coaster and off of it in "Beaver's Fear."

Jerry loved magic tricks and funny gags, (just fun stuff, he was never devious on set or off.) I think when they rehearsed Wally's Practical Joke in that one scene below, he just about died laughing! I mean who wouldn't?

That scene that moves me to tears every time is Lumpy's car falling apart! Lumpy's dialogue with Fred is one of the funniest moments I have ever seen! I don't think that scene was ad-libbed, but maybe what was unexpected was the car falling apart a little more than it was intended!

I think Jerry was supposed to be with Tony, Ken, and Frank in filming that scene, but he just couldn't get through it without laughing so hard! So they had to do it without him. Oh the one-liners that Beaver could have had in that scene!!!! hahahahaha!!!

Even after it happens, Wally is telling Beaver about it, and Beaver says several times how he'd "give a million dollars to have seen it!"

Jack

Just watched "Beaver's Good Deed!"

That's the one when Beaver and Gilbert are there and Ward and June are away at a Country club. Beaver had been lectured about being inconsiderate of people when he backs out of a babysitting job at the last minute and also refuses to do a simple favor for Wally.

This tramp comes to the door named "Jeff" and at first Beaver is apprehensive about letting a stranger in the house. The old hobo says he hasn't eaten and eventually Beaver lets him in. First he asks for a glass of water, and "a crust of bread." (Beaver gives him what seems to be left over roast beef from the refrigerator.) "Jeff" was in the circus once as a fire-eater. Beaver and Gilbert think that's cool! He than asks Beaver to wash up. Beaver says, "Well, OK, you can use my Mom and Dad's bathroom, ours is kind of messy for company."

A few minutes later, they hear water running upstairs, Beaver and Gilbert run up and hear it's the bathtub running! Beaver's shocked!, "He's taking a whole bath!!!!!" What am I gonna do if anybody comes home and finds out I let a strange man take a bath!!!!" Hahahahahaha!!!

Gilbert's like, "Oh, I just remembered, I gotta go home and help my Mother!" (Yea, right!) Beaver tries to convince him to stay, but Gilbert takes off like a shot! Jeff starts signing! LOUD! Just as Wally comes back from Lumpy's! Beaver panics and runs downstairs. Jeff's in the tub! Wally hears it:

Wally-"Beaver, what is that?"

Beaver: "It's just a man signing"

Wally: "Where?"

Beaver: (embarrassed) "In Mom and Dad's Bathtub" LOL!!!!

Jeff takes off with some of Ward's good suits. He told Beaver and Gilbert that he had a job interview. Later he sends a letter with $5.00 to Ward with an apology for taking the clothes, but says he used them to find a job and says he will pay him back for the things he took by sending $5.00 a week. He thanks Beaver for his kindness as well.

Beaver is scolded for letter a stranger in the house. Imagine how dangerous that would be, especially today. This episode really shows Beaver's gullibility even though he was trying to be nice to people, he went to far with a stranger, But that cracks me up! Beaver letting the bum take a bath!!! LOL!

Jack

Too many good moments for me to name on leave it to beaver

http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/2TOPD4o7g0Y/mqdefault.jpg

Wally's letters are hilarious! Don't forget the one he wrote pretending to be Ward to June in the episode "Beaver's Hero":
"Dear June,
I'm sitting here with my submachine gun waiting for the enemy to attack.
They haven't arrived yet so I'm writing you this letter. Me and all the
other brave men have been here on Wake Island for two weeks. This
morning I volunteered for a dangerous patrol and captured 65 prisoners
single handed and the general said, "Good job Ward". He said he wished
he had more men like me. I have to finish now as I hear the enemy
approaching.
Signed your friend, Ward
P.S. I got your last letter and I am sorry you lost all those metals I
sent you."

I also like the scene where Wally walked in on Beaver and Larry doing the Cha-Cha.

There are just to many to name specifically.

Also some of Wally's requests were funny such as asking to get tattooed, go to Mexico, Go to Hawaii, and other various places.

Also some of Wally's requests were funny such as asking to get tattooed, go to Mexico, Go to Hawaii, and other various places.
Yeah, and he pops off with them from right out of the blue.

One of my favorites from season 1:

Voodoo Magic: June doesn't want Beaver seeing the double-feature horror flicks "Massacre at Blood River and Voodoo Curse" when he and Wally go to the movies with Eddie. She wants them to see Pinocchio instead.

Eddie manipulates them to go to the double horror flick instead. Beaver gets an idea in his hate of Eddie to put a Voodoo cruse on him! So he gets a voodoo doll and sticks pins in it! (Like he saw in the Voodoo Curse movie he says.) Beaver's conscience gets the better of him when Wally says that Eddie is sick shortly after seeing the movie. Beaver thinks he's really hexed him and goes to visit him! Eddie goes, "What do you want?" Beaver said, "I heard you were sick so I brought you these flowers." Eddie goes, "You crazy kid, why don't you bring me something I can eat?" Beaver says, "Your not sick?" Eddie says, "he's putting on an act."

Beaver says, that he really thought he put a voodoo curse on Eddie and shows Eddie where he stuck the pins in his voodoo doll. Eddie's angry and says, "beat it." Beaver says, "I'm going!" goes half way out the door than comes back and takes the flowers he originally brought for Eddie. Beaver leaves the room.

Close up of Eddie thinking of where Beaver stuck the pins in the voodoo doll. We hear war chant drums and Eddie yells out, "MOM! Come quick! I'm sick, I'm sick!"

Than later that evening, Eddie's father comes to the Cleaver's and tells Ward. "You're little gopher has put a voodoo curse on my Eddie!!!" hahahaha!

Jack

I love the last scene in "The School Picture" I laughed so hard when I heard this exchange between Wally and Beaver:


Beaver: Hey Wally, what's going to happen when I have kids of my own? They're going to come up to me and say 'Hey Beaver, what'd you look like when you were a kid? And I won't have anything to show them!"
Wally: In the first place, your kids aren't gonna call you 'Beaver'."
Beaver: "No? What will they call me?
Wally: They'll call you Dad. What else?
Beaver: Boy, if a kid ever called me Dad, I'd be so scared I wouldn't know what to do!"

Wally: No you wouldn't. You'd probably feel creepy at first but then you'd get used to it like Dad did."

I think I put this in another thread but there are very few laugh-out-loud moments in this show, by design, according to Tony Dow. But one moment I didn't remember until seeing it a few months ago was in the Nick the horse episode. When Beaver said the horse went (and then he neighs like a horse), it just cracked me up.

Beaver: "What's a social security number?"
Richard: "That's when you get too old to work and the government pays you for doing nothing."
Beaver: "Gee, how old do you have to be?"
Richard: "Real old. Maybe 30 or 35 I guess!"
