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?

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."

Funniest moment on the show?

Way too many to mention.

When the accordion comes tumbling down the stairs.

catlover79 · 01-02-2010, 02:57 AM

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!!!

MickeyMac · 01-02-2010, 02:57 PM

Judge and Monika both those are great ones.

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.

howilu · 01-08-2010, 11:52 AM

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

tjays · 02-12-2010, 12:06 AM

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!

Torgo · 02-12-2010, 12:41 PM

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.

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 !
