Greatest character in television history. Bar none, case closed. There has never been anyone to match the completely nonsensical behavior of Barney Fife. While this manic genius graced this show, there was nothing to compare to it. The show may been named for Andy Griffith but he knew who the real star was. So much of the show plotlines were tailored to Don Knotts incomparable talent. A situation comedy. And nobody ever encountered more situations than Don Knotts. Best ever by light years.
This has to be one of the best episodes of The Andy Griffith show ever, I can still hear Ben Weaver yell, "Sheriff, get him out of here!" Just too darn hilarious!
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 Yeah, right. That's what I call truly burying your head in the sand. But the US is not alone The whole depraved industrial world has gone the same path.
@@wiseguymaybe golly gee larry! You sound miffed! irked! vexed! As Metallica says nothing else matters! Life is great and people are wonderful! I teach deaf kids.Junior high. You know, ASL geometry, trig, and precal aloha nui loa We're done!!
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 Oh I'm not miffed Suzy. And teaching deaf kids doesn't make the world around us moral, I'm not sure why you brought that up. I guess it was mean of me to say you bury your head in the sand. Sorry to put it that way, but the truth is you are definately not living in reality if you think society today is moral. And you're quoting Metallica?????? And they have good morals???????????? Riiight. Really, I'm not trying to attack you and saying "We're done," doesn't make it so. Yet, I guess with your Metallica mindset you might be right. There is nothing in my words that would change your mind if you can't see it already. Just want you to know that I'm sorry if I was mean to you.
Love this show!!!!!! I watch it everyday!!!!! It's my calm place to rest my head on my pillow.... This is a wonderful, great, funny, wholesome show!!!!!!! Barney is a classic!!!!!!!! He bring's great acting to Mayberry!!!!! ❤❤❤...🌹🌹🌹🌹.....
@Donald Hicks Me too. And U got to be a hippie if you wanted years later. An era never 2 B repeated. Bring back morning prayer in school. I'm mixed about allowing "lawn darts." LOL. Barney was prepared - he had his bullet in his pocket, always. :)
I was born in the mid 1980's. The andy griffith show is one of the greatest television shows that ever existed. When it was made television shows had less quantity but more quality. Now it's the opposite, more quantity of television shows but less quality television shows. Television currently is deplorable.
No wonder why Don Knotts got six Emmys look at the straight face he keeps when he's playing the mannequin the mannerisms he was a comic genius there's another segment he's doing a surveillance in Weaver's department store and he does a duck walk he does it real fast in a squatting position behind the counter that kills me every time the writing was very good in the series
I am very proud to say that I live in Morgantown WV, home of Don Knotts. Went to Morgantown High School where Don graduated from, saw the house that he grew up in. In his biography I knew exactly the places he was talking about while growing up. Thank you for your channel. Morgantown Bob.
IF YOU Have EVER lived in the United State's YOU will find a REAL Barney Fife on every corner IN the United State's IF EVERY Sheriff was like Andy Griffin the United States REALLY WOULD be a better PLACE ! REALLY sad ! NOW DAY'S they REALLY ARE a REAL Barney Fife ON EVERY corner ALL across the United State's ! NOW DAY'S ! .
Barney's theory in the previous scene is that Weaver was stealing from his own store. Andy told him his theory was plain nonsense. That scene concludes with Barney asking Andy, could you let me have one look in the trunk of Weaver's car? That's extremely funny, as is this scene. Ben didn't seem to appreciate Barney's work in spying on the little old lady who was actually doing the stealing, and then arresting her, even though he should've waiting until she was outside the store, since she could say she was going to pay for the merchandise.
Peace officer v Police officer. A Peace officer keeps the peace. A Police officer administers policy, NOT nessarily law. Andy is a Peace officer ... Barney is a Police officer. Not that all Police officers are Barney Fyfes ... not that very few act as Peace officers.
Don knots had the best facial expressions.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have to agree totally.. Barney ( Don Knott's ) was the best !
Agreed!
Barney ' One Bullet ' Fife always has me falling off my recliner every single day 😅😅😅😅😅😂😂🎉
@@johnrose7984 But Mr Haney on Green Acres comes in a close 2nd.
Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Nothing on television today even comes close to this.
I was always amazed how long he kept his eyes wide open without blinking.
I was amazed that he was able to inhale so much smoke without coughing or choking.
This has to be one of the best episodes of The Andy Griffith show ever, I can still hear Ben Weaver yell, "Sheriff, get him out of here!" Just too darn hilarious!
old ben weaver was better
I just looked at the thumbnail and busted out laughing!
I really enjoy the scenes with Leon & Andy. So Precious
When Leon walks it sounds like those boots are a tad to big for him🥰
Ya gotta love Barney, I never get tired of watching these. That's when the US had good morals!
we still do.

When I'm kinda down in the dumps...I always feel better after watching this type of sitcom
he made a perfect dummy ... didn't even blink an eye ... lol lmfao
"I said go go go go!" Gets me every time!
This was a great scene. Classic Barney.
I love this scene as well. Barney slowly lifting his finger to try to keep from sneezing. Classic!
Very hilarious!! Barney is just too funny!! I love him!!
How quickly his facial expression changes when the guy walks by with the cigar just kills me every time 😂🤣
1:00
LOL
I loved this!! Barney Fife is just too funny and cute here! And I love that "Go go go go!" Line! LMAO!!😂😅😂
1:00
Many don't know that Don Knotts started out as a ventriliquist. Seriosly. That was his initial act.
Google Don Knotts and Dean Martin.CLASSIC!😂😂😂
all the mistakes Barney has made , this case he actually solved
I loved how Andy handled the entire situation....very professionally!!!!
Like handled every situation, only make it worse no matter what he do..
Love this show!!!!!! I watch it everyday!!!!! It's my calm place to rest my head on my pillow.... This is a wonderful, great, funny, wholesome show!!!!!!! Barney is a classic!!!!!!!! He bring's great acting to Mayberry!!!!! ❤❤❤...🌹🌹🌹🌹.....
Barney's finest hour, no doubt.
That does look like Barney Fife, except the dummy is better looking. ROFL.
Especially how mad Barney gets when she said it!
The show was never the same after Don Knotts left..
Yeah, I disliked the character Warren that replaced him.. 👮🏽♂️
@@LOWROLLER72 Howard was even worse.
Barney is HILARIOUS!😆😂
I love him! And I love the “go go go go!” line too!!
1:00
LMAO XD
Another best of Barney, and he ain't no dinosaur.
Leon (Clint Howard) is actually Opie's (Ron Howard) real brother.
Ron had him play a flight controller in Apollo 13.
Rumor has it Clint saved one of those half eaten sandwiches in a vacuum sealed bag. (LOL not really)
Please Leon I’m on a case lol Barney.
2:10
The original mannequin prank
There aren’t many characters in TV history as funny as Barney Fife ... maybe George Costanza, but the list is small
There isn’t any good Comedy shows like TAGS anymore now it’s Trashy ones

One of the funniest things is how he imitates that sort of numb smile that department store mannequins had...
Leon is such a cutie
Leon was played by Clint Howard, Ron(ny) Howard’s younger brother.
Good Old Days Walk Around And Smoke Any Where You Wanted Too !
Comical genius.
Barney was good at hiding for a while... he would make a great county employee.
Just read The Boys and learned Leon is Ron Howards' brother. Just had to check it out.
"Scram, Leon!"
(holds up sandwich insistently)
Bernard P Fife M.D.
Still cracks me up 63 years later.
I watch every night love this show
I love Leon he’s so cute
I bet after wards Clint never wanna see a PBJ Sandwich again I love the scenes with Andy & Leon
Leon is actually Opie's (Ron Howard) real brother Clint Howard.
@@jamescook5784 I know
They caught the shoplifter.
He was an absolute genius Imagine the show without him…..
I recall not liking the show as much after Don Knotts left the show. It was still good but not nearly as much.
You don't need to imagine. It continued for three years after he left.
Don Knotts, may he RIP. The world desperately needs another.
When we need to move fast, I tell my wife, “Go, go, go,” just like Barney did!
Lol. She's a lucky woman!
1:00
5 year old Leon spotted him.... Hilarious..
Leon is so adorable he never speak but he is so Darling
The Old guard is the same guard that was at the bank episode
Knotts actually gave Andy his first big break in no time for sergeants.
I am very proud to say that I live in Morgantown WV, home of Don Knotts. Went to Morgantown High School where Don graduated from, saw the house that he grew up in. In his biography I knew exactly the places he was talking about
while growing up. Thank you for your channel. Morgantown Bob.
That overdressed lady shopper could not hide those goods well enough in her coat.
Watched this episode the other night. Love it❤❤
Barney is good looking
The dummy is much better looking!
That scene was irreplaceable,"but that sandwich did look good!!😂
real television
Well I never !! How dare you !! This time I will sue!!!
Great episode!!
There is a street here in Morgantown named Fife that Don used to play on, Thus the name Barney Fife! Thank you, Morgantown Bob.
Another cute Leon scene.
This one is from "The shoplifters".
."Sweet little old ladies ought never to clank."
This is one of the funniest of episodes
FOREAL " THO " HOW THEF---K COULD HE DUCK WALK LIKE THAT ? SO LOW ' CRAZY "😂😂😂
Barney can be real stupid sometimes.
My Favorite Barney Fife and Gomer together in The Rimshaw House pure comedy episode
This video is crystal clear!

IF YOU Have EVER lived in the United State's YOU will find a REAL Barney Fife on every corner IN the United State's IF EVERY Sheriff was like Andy Griffin the United States REALLY WOULD be a better PLACE ! REALLY sad ! NOW DAY'S they REALLY ARE a REAL Barney Fife ON EVERY corner ALL across the United State's ! NOW DAY'S ! .
Also on every corner, there's a kid who offers a half eaten sandwich to every Barney Fife.
Barney plays the part so good
