Other sitcoms/shows/movies referring to Happy Days - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Fonzarelli · 11-06-2005, 11:02 PM

Which sitcoms/tv-shows/movies do you know that refer to Happy Days? I began wondering yesterday, because I've already seen quite a few

In the Boy meets World-episode 'The grass is always greener', Cory pretends to be Shawn at a party to meet girls. He wears a leather jacket. Shawn tells him to go talk to some girls and act like he (Shawn) usually acts. Cory puts the collar of his jacket up, walks to the girls, puts his two thumbs up and says: "Aaaay!". Then Shawn asks him what that was all about: "That wasn't me. That was Fonzie."

In the Married with Children-episode 'Kelly doesn't live here anymore', Al and Jefferson go to the snackbar where Kelly works to take photo's of Kelly working. The owner asks Jefferson: "Hey, didn't you take my picture when I was on a cruise?" Jefferson replies: "If I really was that guy from Love Boat, do you really think I was doing thís?" Al: "Continue, Jefferson". Jefferson: "Aye aye, captain... I mean: Fonzie.... Al!"

In the movie Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino, in the scene in which Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer want to rob a restaurant. They also try to rob Samuel L. Jackson's briefcase. Jackson's character tells Amanda that "we're all going to be like Fonzie. What's Fonzie like?", "Cool" is the answer.

I remember once on an episode of "South Park" someone was watching TV or something, and they showed the scene where Fonzie jumps over a shark on water skis (for those who may not know, that's where the saying "jump the shark" comes from) only he misses and falls into the shark, which starts chasing him around and attacking him, and Fonzie's screaming, there's blood in the water, etc

I forget what the episode was about, but I remember that scene.

Fonzie had to do some surfing stunt. The other guy backed out and Fonzie said that he's not going to quit because the other guy quit. Richie told him he doesn't have anything to prove but Fonzie did it anyway. He did the stunt successfully..there was no blood.

What treky wrote was what was spoofed on an episode of South Park.

Back to the topic, there have been numerous references in both The Simpsons and Family Guy that I know of. There was also one in the first episode of Friends where they showed a clip of Joanie and Chachi's wedding.

Yes, on Friends when Phoebe had her brother's triplets, the doctor was obsessed w/Fonzie.

) Y'all should watch that episode if you need a Fonzie mention, same w/South Park (my fave show after Friends, HD, L&S, & Sweet Valley High!

In the Friends-episode 'The one at the beach', the gang is playing "strip Happy Days", because they hadn't a stock of cards. They palyed the HD board game. Every time someone had 5 'cool-points', he or she could order someone else to take of a piece of clothing. They ended up having Joey (almost) naked.

There was a load of Happy Days referrences on the Simpsons

in the 2nd season of that 70s show there's an episode where kelso gets a leather jacket and everyone makes fun of him cause it makes him look like Fonzie, there are several references to the show in that episode.

I know it didn't really happen that way! I was describing a parody of the scene that was done on "South Park" once.

It would have been HILARIOUS if that did happen, though!

I seem to remember a few refferences to Happy Days on "Perfect Strangers". But I havent seen that show in years.

Fonzarelli · 11-14-2005, 09:09 PM

Friday I saw a Boy meets World-episode from season 3, in which Cory travels back in time, ending up in 1957. He meets Tom Bosley and Anson Williams (playing themselves) and Pat Morita (playing 'the wise man'). Anson obviously didn't want anyone to call him 'Potsie' or making refferences to the show.
