"He's paying so he can't leave" 😂😂😂. That was a terrific comeback.
U CANT FORCE A OWNER TO SERVE U ITS EITHER HIS OR HERS PLACE THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT YO SERVE WHOEVER THEY WANT,STOP WHINING JUST OPEN YOUR OWN PLACE AND STOP BEGGING OTHERS TO ACCEPT U BECAUSE U CANT MAKE SOMEONE LIKE U NO MATTER HOW MUCH U TRY
@@DeniseLopez-gt9wg I feel sorry for you, whether or not you ever open your own place.
@@DeniseLopez-gt9wg Ah, defending racism. What a wonderful person you must be. Do you feel proud having proclaimed your bigotry here where other people can see? :O
@@DeniseLopez-gt9wgIf you open a public place of business you either serve people of all races or no one at all.
@@deanlowdon8381 No the owner haves every right to serve anyone they want that's why there's a sign where they say they refuse to serve to anyone for any reason,I'm hispanic and it's not racist to do that it's their business u can refuse to serve anyone
I'm Black, and I grew up watching "Happy Days." I thought Fonzie was very cool, and he was also very tough!
I'm not sure how tough a 5'6" 130 pound Jewish guy in a leather jacket can be.....lol

@@georgevincent1834 lol was thinking the same thing.
@@georgevincent1834 They couldn't have picked a bigger weenie to play that role... but he still did a great job at it.
Yeah Fonzie was the coolest! Especially because the man who played him Henry Winkler was the exact opposite. Make the acting that much more impressive
Henry winkler has a home in the uk not far from me in Richmond. He spends a LOT of time going round schools helping kids to read and has special programs to help kids. He’s a wonderful human being with a heart of gold.
I believe he's dyslexic himself
@@griff83 he is indeed and that’s why he does it. 😊
He is a wonderful man...a true liberal and despises trump. Love him!!!!
@@MONKeEeYboi beautifull the real thing
@@richardplume3212 absolutely 💯
I’m a 54 year old black man, loved this show, decades ahead of its time. Fonzie backed down from NOBODY, and had ALL the ladies. How could u NOT love him?

@@StephenKershaw1 Remarkable insight there
It was Whites Only and peaceful. See how times have changed to its worse now.
70 years later and we still have foolish people
INDEED‼️🙄🙄🙄
“Foolish” is an incredibly kind and generous word for them.
When you say "foolish people" I'm sure you are using that term for more than just white people because whites don't have a monopoly on racism. Asians, Hispanics, and Indians are some of the most vicious racists out there against black men and women...if some could jail them for just walking into one of their stores they would. Alot of people seem to have this racist misconception that it's white people when in reality it really is not.
We have come a long way since those days. Foolish people will exist 1000 years from now.
Now we have blacks being racists against whites.
Out of all the Happy days episodes , I never saw this one . Until today May 2024..
Me too & what a treat to see it so many yrs later!👍♥🇺🇸
I am 53 I have never seen this one neither…
That's so weird I was thinking the same exact thing and I have seen every single episode I was in 8th grade when the show came out
Does anybody think that the network cut it out?
Also 53. First time seeing this one. I thought I’d watched everyone at least twice.
50 years later and still people haven't learned hatred doesn't win love peace and understanding wins 😢
50 yrs? Think it's been longer than that.
Come to Florida and 99% of blacks are racist and most whites aren't
You should tell it to the people re-decorating your cities.
It’s all an agenda
So very true.

60-year-old white man, and I grew up loving this show. Best wishes to you, Marcus.
@@docadams7099 I'm 55, Happy Days was in my regular after-school rotation with Gilligan's Island and the Brady Bunch before mom kicked our asses outside to play until dinner. Good times!
im not black, but i never really cared for "happy days" much. i watched it at times. I liked a lot of different shows. Good Times, Different Strokes, 3's company, what's happening, all in the family (although a bit young to understand a lot of it), Andy Griffith show, many more, I vaguely remember Chico and the Man, Sanford and Son...
I’m a 64 year old black man who grew up watching this show. I’m a Henry winkler fan too this day because of his potrayel of The Fonz. The Fonz was the coolest dude I know and he had values. That’s why I’m still a fan of Happy Days. Heyyyyy 🤙🏻
ehhhh!
That’s awesome man, I’m 41 and caught the re runs of happy days good show lots of laughs
Heeey 👍👍
Funny, the coolest portrayal for me was James from Good Times, and I'm white.
I lost all respect for 'The Fonz' when I found out Henry Winkler was afraid to ride a motorcycle.
"We don't serve colors here"
Fonz-"Well.thats convenient because we didn't order any"
That's an awesome racism comeback!!
"Can't you read the sign?"
"No sir, I'm colorblind."
He knew what he meant. 🤣🤣🤣
BWF
1958. My dad walks into Woolworth and sits at the counter. man comes over:
"Hey, we don't serve colored here."
Dad: "I don't blame you a damn bit. Give me some ham and eggs."
“We don’t serve coloreds here.” is read in the racist restaurant context as, “We don’t serve collards here.” It’s a solidly good passive aggressive progressive joke, especially with the ham and eggs retort.
@@randomno0that's the point. Why did you ruin the joke?
That was a take on an old Dick Gregory joke we recognized and laughed so hard.
"He's the biggest lover in Milwaukee!" 🤣
I am a 55 year old white fella fae fife and this episode kinda cemented all the things my parents taught me - cut us we bleed red we are all jock tamsons bairns ✊🏼👍thanks for sharing

Al's passionate soliloquy deserved more than it got from the live audience.
Yep, and everyone praising the Fonz instead of the hero of the scene, the waitress
She got a decent round of applause
That sounded like brainless laugh track applause.
@@TheFBoner Was thinking more of the comment section, but you're right
I don 't think that applause when she poured all three of them a cup of coffee after Al's speech was for Fonzie.
Fonzie said he was a Black, Jew, and Protestant lover -- (his Italian-American character was Catholic) -- all the people his character was not ... he was the COOLEST civil rights champion ...
Fonz was an anti DEI bigot.
The real Jews are black. Read (Deut28:68)
Henry Winkler is Jewish so him saying he loves Jews is a nod to that.
Played by Henry Winkler who is Jewish. 🔯🖤👤♥️ #OneLove
Amazing stuff it was terrible back then fancy putting up that kind of sign it's very upsetting
Wow , didn’t even realize that they tackled this on the show. Kudos to them . I’m a black man and grew up on this show….Love the Fonz and wanted to be just like him. Ayeee
a lot of shows did tackled many of the problems of the time . like all in the family and star trek . unlike modern star trek and most of the shows that are failures dealing with fake problems .
Yeah, never even saw any black people on the show!
@@mdc3148 Fonz had a lot of swag, though. I remember watching the reruns as a kid and he was like the first cool white dude I ever saw.
And this is why my 38-year-old self has had a crush and will always crush on The Fonz. 😍
You realize he's 79 yrs. old and has been married to the same woman since 1978, right?! 😦😊
@@janishart5128 Are you joking or being serious? If you're being serious, then Henry Winkler is 78 and happily married. The Fonz, a fictional character, is not. 😉🫠
@@janishart5128 married to the same woman since 1979, if you don’t crush on the man you may certainly be forgiven for crushing on the values the man portrays and represents 🤗

Hey you better leave shygirlflygirl alone
The Fonz was so cool he treated everyone with respect and looked out for everyone
It's sad to see much of todays society has lost respect for others . I am very fortunate to have spend my younger days during the 50's .
Yes indeed 👍 " HEY " 🛵 😊

I'm black and just turned 50. I've loved the fonz since I was a kid. I've love Henry Winkler and all the TV shows he has done and social issues he puts or has been a part of on his tv shows
I concur!!
Including his part in the movie ‘Little Nicky’?🤪
50 years old. Woo hoo. This is the only happy days episode ever with a black guy on it, and all it did was just reinforce all ills, and all of a sudden, you people go gaga. This is simply two dementional thinking gone awry.
@@EinsteinKnowedIt "you people" - how to be racist without even noticing.
@@archstanton6102 😮💨 however, not when "you people " is not clarified. the fact of the matter is happy days had lots of happy stuff until all of a sudden one black guy comes on to remind us how unhappy happy days actually was, for some. Picture it as seeing roots and coming back to school only to see a bunch of kids looking at you funny. Naw, there is everything wrong with placing a black man on a program only for bad stuff. It did diddly squat then but aggravate as it is doing now, you young 50-year-olds you. Get out of that certain Floridian revisionist historians' mindset.
Go May! Tough women, and good men, rising up and showing kindness & tolerance is what's needed everywhere globally right now. Peace.
Exactly. So glad the waitress did a 180.

Now you’z can’t leave
I was looking for this comment 💯
@@vitesse_arnhem👍A Bronx Tale.
"That's him over there, Jack".
"I can tell, Ned".
Possibly one of the funniest and most sarcastic jokes ever. Great writing.
Old school great writing.
far too many writers today are scared to let the audience get the joke on their own, or think the audience needs the joke explaining. One of the things old sit coms did really well was treating the audience with respect, and not pandering to them.
@@bipolarminddroppings You are a writer. You're also 100% correct. A good joke in a sitcom has an invisible set-up. It happens, but it's quick, sudden, and not noticed until the punchline. Brilliant!
@@bipolarminddroppingsproblem is kids these days are too w0ke (unapologetic support for the Ba'athist regime of Saddam Hussein)
Sadly the audience IQ level has along with attention span diminished, so now quality tv, just vanished. @@bipolarminddroppings
I was too young to realize what a difference some of my favorite shows were trying to make back then. I only remember loving and adoring The Fonz and this show. 🙏🏾❤️💐
Loved this episode. Racism is wrong. We are all human beings. We are all one race- the human race. Act like it.
AMEN BROTHER AMEN
I couldn't have said it better.
No
@@28nihilist Yes
@@pattijo318 wah
I'm colour blind is such a cool fucking line.
Fun fact, during WW2 - when the Yanks came to England to train, a lot of them couldn't understand why us Brits were serving 'coloured people' without issue in our pubs and cafes, and some white American officers tried to make us adhere to American racism, so in a few select cases, the pubs banned the white Officers and served the black guys, because the black guys were much more respectful to the English.
I love it for humanity. Some have changed but it still around.
They really did that??
That's because brits don't have to live with them. The current state of Britain is a nonwhite shithole though so lesson learned
@@aleqrobinson2876 yep, in several places, and twice, in Australia and in England, they named "battles" after the fights standing up to segregation. Burgess Meredith played a soldier in a PSA in the Forties, telling the American troops they were in another country, the laws were different, and the black guys would be treated the same as the white guys, get used to it!
This is brilliant 👏! Fonz (Henry) was ALWAYS a hero of ours in Oz. Personally, I will NEVER understand the concept of racism.... it just DOESN'T make sense to me.... how can you possibly hate, not tolerate or whatever, someone because of their skin colour..... how f--king childish (pathetic!) is this..... just my opinion 🤷.
The Fonz was a fair and standup guy, and didn’t put with nonsense. That’s what made him so cool!
what made hime so cool, was at the snap of his fingers, young girls would flock to him...
and what made him the Fonz
@@zeokingsilver Last name Fonzarelli.
Those were the good old days when guys 👦 like the fonz made sense. Happy days. 😊😅😂❤.
@@z-z-z-zIn this day and age you gotta be handing out drugs to get that effect.
That's our Fonz. I'm unsure of what year was being portrayed on the show, but putting signs up like that in many states was still legal until July 2nd, 1964.
It's so recent :(
I believe it was mid-fifties. Great show!
I have abusiness card from 1976 from a house removal complany in New Orleans, when we were moving, that says on it ''All white help'' .
Happy Days is set in the 50's, but is a show made in the 70's. That's like the entire gimmick. It was "That 50's Show" in it's time.
Until the 60's? seriously?!? Wow...
2:28 "That's him over there" - cop: "I can tell" 😅
Till this day, the Fonz is still the Fonz. The man does lots of charities.
Henry Winkler is a fantastic actor. It must have been hard fir him to break out of the character association as The Fonz
I met Winkler last year at Megacon!
Amazingly cool, friendly guy with loads of energy for someone his age!
i saw him once coming off a flight at LAX. Hes a little guy in person.
@@mexman000 Why do you need to point out the obvious? We can already see his short height on screen.
Yes! He comes in our restaurant in Florida every week! I pull out the chair and say sit on it Henry!
Perfect blend of comedy handling a touchy issue without getting overly preachy. I'm telling ya, 70's sitcoms knew how to do it. All In The Family is a another example of this.
Al, wasn't overly preachy? I though he was.
The day that Archie Bunker's friend got blown up for being Jewish.
Archie was a changed man after that.
@@thomasbrown3356 Conveying common decency is 'preachy' now, is it?....
@@Charlie_Crown I got nothing against his message. He made a passionate plea for equality. Preachy by definition.
One of my favorite shows Different Strokes was good at touchy issues like this also.
Still till this day when this episode aired we still have injustices like this happening. 😢
Yay! Way to go Fonz! Henry Winkler is a very underrated actor. I watch his version of A Christmas Carol every year.... Great stuff,always brings back great memories! He seems like a very genuine human being!
They're right over there sheriff. I can see that." LOL
That part had me dying
The sheriff's timing was perfect.
Great writing & timing. Like watching a balet.
Gary Grubbs with the perfect southern twang!
Lol.classic
That wasn't the Fonze fighting racism. That was AL doing the fighting.
And May!
Al said the words but Fonzie was doing the fighting in his cool way you probably just don't understand
@@raiderrod3584 his "cool way" was physically fighting until Al stopped him
To be fair, Al kept trying to leave. Fonzi made them stay and almost fought someone over it.
Wrong, Al would have left, Fonzie wanted to stay.
"He's paying he can't leave" had me dying laughing 😂
I remember watching Happy Days when I was a kid - Fonz was cool but also the good guy with solid values 👍
When dude pushed Fonzie, and his response…. OHHHHH NOOOO !
Was PRICELESS ! 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
That part was great. Fonz wasn't even mad, he just couldn't believe somebody would be dumb enough to shove him 😂
OH, there's Fonzie's black friend we never saw before or after that episode.
haha true! Many shows were like this: we'll do a "black" special episode and then you never see them again because audiences only wanted mainly whites.
I think people in the south would have had worse issues with fonze that the black guy. My dad told me stories about the south back in the 1950s and 60s. Not every white person was racist. There were many that were but not all. Just because what the news media shows about Detroit, Baltimore and Chicago doesn't mean all blacks are thugs that live off of the tax payers.
Because if he stayed too long then people would say the show has “gone woke”
@@roguej2 That show was on 50 years ago. "Woke" wasn't a thing yet.
@@turntablesrockmyworld9315no you idiot. He was a guest star. All guest stars left after one episode. Quit whining.
That, "I can tell, Ned," was delivered perfectly! 🤣
Happy Days was definitely one of the best shows back in the day and the Fonz was the coolest and sometimes funniest!😂😂😂❤❤
Fonzerelli was "The Man" back in the day! 👍👍👍
He still is - because he's The Fonz! He'll always be The Man!
We need more of the Fonz these days😎
The Fonz used to look at a poster of James Dean when he needed advice.
@@nicklubrino2606I always wonder why he did that.
@@saveThe90s88 Because James Dean was the epitome of cool.
I grew up on the FONZ and Happy Days nothing but love❤🎉
I did too
What was life like in those days ? Where did u live in the US ?
I enjoyed shoes like this. They made you feel like the good guy always won. And right was always right. It was like a code, but now anything goes.
Love it. My cousin spent his life acting like the Fonz. He passed a couple months ago. This really made me laugh.
Fond memories of this show:). Once again, Fonzie with the wisdom.
Punching the wall and the sign drops lol.
It was a terrible script to try and bring in comedy to a lie like that. The north is more racist than the south. Always has been.
@@KB-ke3fi No lol
I’ve lived in both and you’re full of s***
@@KB-ke3fi wut. I mean the north has its race problems but its practically a racial paradise in comparison to the south

@@MarieFranceBGthe Fonz.
SHOULD be
Lol, sure
Er, no. Racism is the true spirit of america. As shown in this episode.
Winkler is the type of hero we need right now, and it doesn't even have to be as The Fonz.
I was just a little girl when I started watching Happy Days!! I was in love with the Fonze!! I never saw this episode though!!🙆🏾♀️🤷🏿♀️
Aww come on what about potsie and Ralph Malph 😂
No swearing. No violence. Just debate.
Shame all those debates did a spit of good to these backwards neanderthals these days they'd call this "woke".
Yeah... but the sad truth is that the cops & the kkk in the Jim Crow South weren't known for their great debate skills. They were known for violence and murder.
There was some swearing., but it was very rare, and it was later on in the series. I think the show had taken on a darker tone at that time. Chachi found out he was diabetic. Joanie
became a teacher and was almost sexually assaulted by a student. And she dealt with a student who was hooked on drugs.
The most swearing I ever heard on the program was when Richie came home from the Army. When he thought about shaving off his mustache, he stopped and started talking to himself in the mirror. He said. "What the hell do you think you're doing? You're going to shave off your mustache just because your Mommy told you to?" and later when he was drunk in a bar and Fonzie tried to get him to leave and he told Fonzie, "I'll leave when I'm damned well ready" And when Fonzie tried to adopt a young boy and the man from the Adoption Agency turned him down because he was not married, telling him it was against their policy for a single person to adopt. Howard to the man Fonzie would be a perfect father to the boy because his parents walked out on him just like the boys' parents did, then he told the guy, "If you won't let Fonzie adopt that boy just because he's not married, then I say To Hell with your policy".
The only time I ever saw Fonzie actually hit someone was when Chachi took up boxing to impress Fonzie, and he broke his hand while shadowboxing. His opponent tried to antagonize Chachi and Fonzie knocked him out flat with one punch. There might have been one other time when Fonzie punched someone, but that's the one that sticks out in my mind.
That’s HOW you actually get your point across.
Not by stomping your feet and demanding, this that and everything else.
Things were done a bit better back then.
Very good! ☺️ I know in real life it was way tougher than this, but I like this simple portrayal of how ridiculous racism is.
The world is full of idiots and not enough intelligent people
Interesting how a sitcom can deal with serious issues. I recall MASH often doing the same thing.
It's not only "ridiculous" - it's PURE EVIL!!!
Also, dangerous.
It really is, isn't it? Greetings from another smiling anti-racist!
You never know how your compassion and charity might encourage another. ❤
Well done Fonzie, that dropping sign really put a wrap to the scene.
Now i am closing this comment myself by singing happy days in my head, cheers 😊
He’s the Fonz for a reason

If u did u need to get out more 💯👍😂😂😂😂😂
Oh brother.
that is amazing. and to punch the sign
In the whole history of Happy Days, that sheriff had one of the funniest lines ever.
I can see that.
I worked with the actor playing the sheriff on a show years ago called :Not Like Everyone Else", he's a really nice guy...
He was a crooked cop on double take
I've seen him in several other movies. He's the actor that everyone saw and nobody knew his name. I like that guy. Looks nice. Like a Texan.
Gary Grubbs.
Haha that's cool. Respect from the UK.
I remember him being a comedian or having a fairly big part in some comedy show. He was another one of those actors that was in a lot of things but never had the lead role 😁
"Well thats convenient cuz we didn't order any." 😂
The Fonz was and still is, the coolest. I’m 51. When I was 6 years old, my Dad taught me something that I’ll never forget. He taught me to never judge another person by the color of their skin. I’ve been color blind ever since. Throughout my life, I’ve had just as many black, latino and asian friends, as I have white friends. It’s a shame that the younger generation is ruining all of the progress we’ve made to end racism in this country.
Same here. Except Italians.
Younger? Huh??? They’re our conscience, evidence Palestine. Blazing Saddles: “Everyone welcome except the Irish!”.
Italians that cannot speak the language, cook the meals and never saw Italy once. Mamaaaa miaaaa, pepperoniiii buonissimoooo "he's clearly Italian guys" lol
When Fonz bellowed "oh no", everybody knew that now he had to throw down. Hilarious.
This is what made the Fonz so cool.
@@Mr.Brightside83 When?
Thanks for sharing and for reminding me why I wanted to be the Fonz when I was 12. Great clip.
I forgot about this episode, but then it started coming back to me. One of the best shows on TV...being that it was based in the 50's it made sense to touch on the serious issues happening outside of Al's diner.... there was another episode that featured an African American basketball player that got sick and nobody was willing to help him except Ritchie and the fonz.
God they don't make shows like this anymore. Im an 80s kid but this brings back nostalgia
And Fonz knocks down the sign as he leaves, love it!!
Some places don't need a sign. Gotta know where you do and don't belong. It's called being street smart
And that ignorance is all that has to be said. SMH in 2024.

That was my all time favorite show when i was growing up.
I am a 60' baby. This is why every time I go to a restroom/ restaurant....I THANK my Ancestors!!!!!🙏🏾
what?
Agreed. My family is from the South. People seem to forget this wasn't that long ago. If I encounter this stuff in restaurants. I leave a big tip and never return. Just to show appreciation for all the people that stood up for me as a Black woman. I never give them the satisfaction of seeing me angry. 👍👍
Me too. I was maligned by teachers, family and friends for just being a decent person and treating ppl(non-white) the way they should be treated with respect and kindness. Ppl still trying to divide us.
60 feet is pretty big for a baby, gigantic i might say
@@MichaelPaine They are of African decent and thanks their ancestors because they can go to any bathroom they are close to and they don't have to look for one that is labeled, "Colored" or such or they don't have to worry about the, "Whites only" signs.
Bloody fantastic message. I am 76yo, lilly white, with Black, Asian, Arabic and Indigenous Australian relatives. Every one of them has equal ranking in my family regardless of skin colour. Heck many of them are smarter than me. My tolerance level for racial or colour discrimination has a negative sign in front of it.
👏🏾 that's how everyone should be. It's not enough to not be racist. We have to be anti racist. I have a minus sign too.
That’s how it should be!
The American Spirit, not the American way.
We’re Latinos, grew up in a mixed bag of races.
White, black, Koreans, Filipinos, Peruvians, Haitians, all in the same neighborhood and across several towns.
Yea we have our differences but we all understood when someone was against this melting pot.
I'm an indigenous aussie and we still have a way to go in terms of racism here, but it's always good to see there's plenty of good people out there who see us and everyone as equal. Hope you have a good day sir👌
You want a cookie?
"Heck many of them are smarter than me..." 😬
Aaah what a show, I was a kid in the 70s loved the Fonz,
Peace and love to all
😊
Loved Fonzie when I was a kid. But I didn't know he was 25 hanging out with juniors at the high school. This was a great episode.
It’s crazy that segregation was the law in so many states until just 60 years ago. I have black neighbors who grew up in that era and they remember it well. I can’t imagine what that was like.
Southern Hospitality at its best!
You can have Democrats to thank for that seeing that they started the KKK, the Jim Crow laws and segregation.
When I was in high school, for a term, we had a PE teacher who as it turned out was:
- Former professional Basketball player. Played for Adelaide 36ers back in 1986.
- American, originally from South Carolina.
- Friendly and soft spoken. Only ever ONCE saw him blow a fuse on his temper and that was only because we as a bunch of 14-15year old girls decided to “test” him and he warned that somebody would get hurt… somebody DID in the end (me) and he certainly roared that day.
- He was BLACK. Yep: He was African-American.
I asked him once why he left the US and came to Australia on the first chance he got and one of the major reasons was because of how he was treated growing up in the American South where his only crime was being Black. 😡🙄🤦♀️
I’d rather have had Mr Nelson for that one term as PE teacher then quite a few of the White Hags I had to endure as teachers (and they were “Hags” in every sense of the word).
Restaurant seemed pretty peaceful until they started a fuss.
@KevyNova Well, if tRump wins in November, then sadly I guess you'll have your chance to live thru' it, rather than trying to just imagine it!
And that's why we love the Fonz
No, you love Hollywood.....If the fonz were a real person, he wouldn't be around Black people.
This was a little before my time, but this made me cry. Props to the writers. So many great combacks the Fonz had!
Aw..I used to watch this show, but never seen this episode...wow!..😉👏🏿
I'm Black and my heritage is Irish, Cherokee & Jamaican; still Black but with Fascination heritage and I also use to watch Happy Days and love watching the Fonzie take on all types of Bad Guys and yes He was a Cool Dude and I've learn a lot from him that fighting doesn't get no where, unless you was in the Military like me who had to fight for America interest: Desert Storm.
Thank you for your service Sir! I’m not American, however I don’t think it matters! My dad was in two wars! The WW2 and Korean Conflict! Peace and Blessings to you and yours!
Bro you're American. The color of your skin is irrelevant. That's the whole point of this clip.
👍♥🇺🇸
The Fonz ruled...loved this episode.
Sadly, racism still exist more than ever.
Best line..."I can tell, Ned". Lmao!!!
😮 never seen this one before.... thank you, Fonzi, Al and the waitress...👍👍👏👏👏
It's true he's the biggest lover in Milwaukee!!
Milwaukee is still a very racist town.
Not the biggest fan of Happy Days but dammit The Fonz is one of my personal heroes.
I grew up watching the Fonz too and this is very timely 👌
I laughed out loud when he hit the wall and the sign fell down 😂🎉
Nice trip down memory lane. Fonzie was my favourite TV character when I was a kid.
Fonzie and JJ from Good Times were my favorite characters on TV in the 1970's.
This is the only Happy Days episode I remember from my childhood. Strong message.
Dude, Fonz jumped a shark on jetskis while wearing a windbreaker. And he helped Ritchie after he came home from Nam with PTSD and substance abuse. And he was frozen in time by a space alien named Mork. And he did battle with Tom Hanks at Arnold’s.
The Dick Van Dyke Show had a few strong messages about this subject as well. I can't resist a chance to plug for my favorite TV comedy.
😂@@nonplayerzealot4
i miss the wholesome shows i grew up in the 1970s and was a teenager in the mid to late 80s i miss those shows
Lol he knocked the sign off of the wall. 😂😂🤣🤣👍👍👏👏
My Man The Fonz.. Yessir.. Happy Days Was a Great Show and Always Tried to Drive Home The Right Message 😎👊💯💯
Fonzie was one of the original gigachads
A "Chad" is a big dumb over privileged jock who only goes with what's popular. Fonz was literally the opposite of all those things, and this episode is a perfect example of that. A Chad in this context would be picking on the black guy, not defending him.
I've seen Mr. Henry Winkler on talk show interviews .
He is such a warm intelligent man . Love him to pieces
I remember seeing this and my momma was doubled over in a riotous laugh. Us children didn't get the gist of it. I am thankful for viewing this today.
All the shows back in the day were not only funny but had a positive social message. I actually attending the taping where Robin Williams made his first appearance as Mork prior to the show Mork & Mindy.
Happy Days was "woke." It's weird to think that some people now think being "woke" is bad. They're on the side of the jerks in the diner...
So was Archie Bunker. The ignoramouses in middle America didn’t know he was a caricature of them. In the end, he would find understanding with some maligned group. They did an epi like this with Archie where he discovered his friend was gay and eventually found out that the gayz weren’t so bad.
@@nunyabidness4220Because they have no idea, how the original term was used.
I love this show, definitely were happy days 😁😜
I'm a 59 year old black guy and I grew up watching this show, I always thought the Fonz was the coolest guy.
This series was the Bomb when i was a child! I loved the Fonz!
Mr. Winkler attended our restaurant in Bath in 2015 whilst he was involved in a stage production at the theatre nearby.
Very friendly, took time to have photos with everyone, always smiling. Top man.
Bath, NC?
