Help me find an episode of Dick Van Dyke! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have the entire 5 seasons on Netflix, but I want to watch this one episode.
When I first saw it, I was a kid, but I was AMAZED and I thought "This guy is the most brilliant physical comedian I have ever seen!" He literally does not seem to have any bones in his legs, and springs back up from his ankles!

The story is something about Rob and Laura are having a party at thier house for some reason, I don't think it is Christmas, but Sally and Buddy are there, and maybe Mel, and some neighbors. The jist of it is, they are arguing about this story/skit Rob does where he is drunk. She doesn't want him to do it at the party, and he says he won't. Well, all the guests ask him to do it, and he says he can't. But when Laura goes in the kitchen, he starts it. Then she comes back out, and he springs up and acts normal. Then she goes back in the kitchen, and he is drunk again. This is NOT the " My Husband is not a Drunk" hypnotist episode, this one is WAY better.

Any help is appreciated! I have read all the synopsis, but none of them seem to fit.

Hi, Jenny

I think you may be 'misremembering' things (or combining things from several episodes). I believe you are mostly talking about The Sick Boy and The Sitter. You could check it out by watching the episode here. Rob's party skit being drunk is about 20 minutes into it, if you want to fast-forward to look at that specifically.
