Silly or funny routines that characters do often? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Carlton breaking into that dance he does on Fresh Prince, especially to that Tom Jone's song.

The goofy bird walk of JJ on Good Times. He holds his arms out, wrists pointed downward, with the silliest walk.

Fred Sanford holding putting his hands to his heart, and faking a heart attack. "I'm coming Elizabeth!"

Kramer bursting into Jerrys door

Niles always wiping seats off with a napkin

The Honeymooners:
Ed Norton's strange little hand gestures and pauses when he was about to do something, which would usually cause Ralph to smack him upside the head.

Chad Michael Murray · 05-12-2006, 08:07 PM

Lucy's 'Ewwwww' sound and face that goes along with it. (That was the best way I could manage to spell it)

That was funny. I've seen Ed do that when he's going to sign something, and another time getting ready to play the piano.

More on The Honeymooners...Ralph Kramden makes a mock fist, and says to Alice, "Bang, zoom, right to the moon Alice!"

Lucy bursting into tears and crying "WAAAAA"!!!! when something would go wrong, sometimes. (I don't know if she ever did it on that HORRIBLE sitcom she had in the late 80s "LIFE WITH LUCY" though)

Ricky Ricardo saying "sayings" all wrong. for example he is trying to say "spill the beans" and "let the cat out of the bag". instead, he says them both together, all mixed up. "Spill the beans out of the cat bag"...

there were a few other times he did this and Lucy would have to correct him on the right phrases.

treky · 05-13-2006, 01:24 AM

everyone exept Oliver on "GREEN ACRES" being able to see the opening credits.

Jed Clampett saying "WEEEELLL doggies"!

Gomer Pyle saying "Well SHAZAM"! and "SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE"! and "Well goooly"!

Ralph Kramden getting mad at Ed Norton in the Kramdens apartment, pointing to the door and yelling "GEEET OUT"!!!

Ireneparalegal · 05-13-2006, 01:39 AM

Mr. Roper on Three's Company looking into the camera and laughing.

Chrissy and her pig-snort laugh.

Janice · 05-13-2006, 11:03 AM

The Dick Van Dyke Show -- When Laurie Petrie was upset, she would break into tears and moan, "Ohhhh Rooobbbb!!!!"

Seinfeld - Elaine Benis would shove someone with both hands and yell, "Get out!"

Good Times - James Evans would act like he was taking his belt off if one of his kids did something wrong. I don't think he ever used it though.

Janice · 05-13-2006, 11:22 AM

AYYYYY!!!!!

Ireneparalegal · 05-13-2006, 12:58 PM

"I found my thrill...on blueberry hill...." I think you all know who that is...LOL

Janice · 05-13-2006, 01:45 PM

Maude saying, "God will get you for that!" usually to Walter.

On Alice, Flo would tell people to, "Kiss my grits!"

Archie Bunker tossed everyone out of his chair.

Archie calling Edith a dingbat and Mike a meathead.

Mr. Television · 05-13-2006, 01:49 PM

Mel on Alice saying Stow It or calling Vera a Dingy.

Ireneparalegal · 05-13-2006, 01:53 PM

Vera singing "Doo Dah" whenever she hears someone say something that sounds like that song. For example, her boyfriend said "I've got tickets to the super stars of super cars"...Vera then starts singing, "The super stars of super cars, Doo Dah, Doo Dah"...
