I've watched this episode a half dozen times in the past week, entirely for this scene. Tony Randall is a brilliant physical comedian. His reaction to saying "midget" is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
On the On the Brady Bunch, there is a dream sequence when the kids are visited by aliens from a UFO. I'm pretty sure that's the couple playing the roles of the two aliens.
The Odd Couple is my all-time favorite sitcom! Jack Klugman and Tony Randal were perfect in those roles. Compared to the empty trash on TV today it is a true classic.
Great highlight of the incredible skill of Tony Randall. The five other actors in the scene are just props for him to control, the entire scene is him.
That "drop your glove" bit, followed by the handshakes, would be the centerpiece of most comedy scenes; but "Everybody say MIDGET!" is a moment for the ages.
Not to mention, he was a theatre actor, so of course he knew how to project his voice for all to hear. And when Jack Klugman lost a vocal chord to throat cancer and they began touring again, Tony made sure Jack had a microphone so they could hear him without him having to strain his voice.
I was actually scrolling through to see if a right-winger would have to get all weirded out. Yup! 😄 Your propaganda leads you to believe that the good guys have no sense of humor. We definitely do but we also have good manners and were taught to be moral and kind to others by our parents. I just can't imagine going through life getting up in arms because we're told we shouldn't offend others. What spoiled brats. Man! 😄

I always felt,the "drop your glove" was a genius line only sneaky felix could come up with,in order to make them feel they weren't out of the ordinary by being shot.

One of my favorite Odd Couple episodes. No one did it better than Tony and Jack. The perfect comedic pairing. Their timing impeccable. Pure, unfiltered comedy at its very best.
@@kathyflorcruz552 I was waiting! I had to scroll down for the non-PC police, AKA Deplorables. 😂😂😂😂. I knew one of you would say that. It's so important for you all to go out of your way to be rude and ill-mannered. 😄
Honey, do you feel heat in the back of your head? When I first saw this episode I thought I was imagining how hilarious it was. Are your soles too thick?
I know The Odd Couple was never good at continuity, but it always bugged me how Felix's daughter Edna was just a little girl who had turned 10 one season, and a blossoming teenager in all the rest. That's quite a growth spurt.
Isn't it funny?! Felix trying so hard not to let them know that he felt they stood out, yet practically every line he said drew attention to the fact that they were short. Sort of like Archie bunkers' backhanded compliments to various different people of other nationalities or cultures.
I wonder if the term "midget" was as offensive to them then as it is today. Is "dwarf" truly preferable? I think "vertically challenged" is an insult. And "little person" sounds childish. Forget "munchkin". What's so bad about "midget"?
No it isn't. Lasted five years, won Emmys for Randall and Klugman, nominated three times for outstanding comedy series, still popular in reruns, both characters are icons... Explain how that translates to "underrated"
I watched this when new, while I was a kid. I think it was canceled in 1975. Felix's daughter acted like a moron in this ep. This show was hilarious. I remember the movie of it in theaters. I'm surprised this isn't on MeTV or Antenna.
I have said that line "Are your shoes to big" a gazillion times, in my life (mostly when it had nothing to do with anything, at the moment) because of THIS episode. I saw this episode when I was probable 9/10 (early 1980s) as a rerun - that line cracked me up. If I am not mistaken THIS episode originally aid in 1972.
The he said you perfect normal Wilfred wow😁😄😳👍 throw something in the floor don't starring 😆 the he said little people😳😕😄👍 anyway Happy New Year to everyone and try to smile always no matter what you going in life because life is short😁🦃🦃🦃👍
What are you talking about? Season 5 was as brilliant as seasons 2, 3 and 4. The first season was the only weak one. The show took off once they went three camera and added an audience.

"Everybody say midget!" - Followed by one of the greatest meltdowns in TV comedy history.
Lmfao😂😂🤌
So true
Make that EPIC meltdown.

The Odd Couple is one of the all time great TV shows. It deserves more credit. They were Brilliant.
Hey you are absolutely right.
The father is actor Jerry Marin, who was one of the original "Lollipop Guild" Munchkins from The "Wizard of Oz".
No, that's an actor named Frank Delfino.
That was the one who was in the episode as a jockey who was giving racing tips to Felix and Oscar.
He was the Hamburglar for the McDonalds commercials for years.

@@sidneylegrange8739they were stand-ins for the Brady kids also.
Everybody say midget! That was priceless! One of the best shows ever on tv.
Classic stuff.
LOL. Yes. It's funny how a line from a show sticks with you forever.
Once that happens, I just love how Oscar is staring away from Felix acting like he doesn't know the man.
Haha
I think this was one of the best scenes on TV. I felt his embarrassment as if it was my own.
The Odd Couple is my all-time favorite sitcom! Jack Klugman and Tony Randal were perfect in those roles. Compared to the empty trash on TV today it is a true classic.
"I just love your little suit".
Tony Randall's comments are priceless!
Even when you know it's coming, it's HILARIOUS every time. 😆 🤣
Still as funny as I remember it from when I saw it aired when I was a kid.
This shit is rubbish
One of the funniest scenes in cinematic history
Pigtails, Saddle shoes I sorely miss the days when the world didn’t market away the innocence of our children. *sigh*
Yea, 100%-
Did the girls really wear their skirts that short back then? It must be at least 5" above the knees. How do they even sit?

What a voice Tony Randall had. So powerful and athletic
he studied opera for years.. he actually had a very strong singing voice
Not to mention, he was a theatre actor, so of course he knew how to project his voice for all to hear. And when Jack Klugman lost a vocal chord to throat cancer and they began touring again, Tony made sure Jack had a microphone so they could hear him without him having to strain his voice.
In a interview, he said he used a voice teacher almost his whole life.

I love this skit.
And I know in 2021.... this would so get "cancelled".
If you don't like it, don't watch it. If you lol, enjoy it.

Tony was hysterical and brilliant in this scene. Everything he did was comedic genius!
Garry Marshall, great writers and perfect casting = Lots of Laughs.
This has to be the shortest episode they made of the Odd Couple.
One of my favorite Odd Couple episodes. No one did it better than Tony and Jack. The perfect comedic pairing. Their timing impeccable. Pure, unfiltered comedy at its very best.
Yes sir
Hop over the wire....hop over the other wire LMAO
I can tell each, particularly the wife, is having fun with the scene.
Drop your glove... drop your glove...
"Everybody say MIDGET!" Too funny!

One of my favorite shows growing up as a kid!
He's so cute. I'd like to pick him up
Honey, do you feel heat in the back of your head? When I first saw this episode I
thought I was imagining how hilarious it was. Are your soles too thick?
This scene is brilliant.
This was good entertainment-like and miss the subtle but great humor this show provided on Friday nights in the 1970’s.
Look at that couch! It looks just like the Bundy's couch on Married with Children. That must have been a big style for couches in the 1970's.
Midget bowling was all the panic in the day.
I know The Odd Couple was never good at continuity, but it always bugged me how Felix's daughter Edna was just a little girl who had turned 10 one season, and a blossoming teenager in all the rest. That's quite a growth spurt.
Gloria’s maiden name also
Two different people played Edna
oh you're perfectly normal# i mean...
Love the way he dropped the napkin
The manner in which he attempts to 'play off' is mistake kills me - every time! Peace w/ a smile
There was never a better Odd Couple than these two.
The thing that I liked best about this show is that you had great actors who were having fun
Theee funniest scene in cinematic history🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tony Randall was priceless in this episode , meet's their son and said's you're perfectly normal .
That science would cause a national outrage today
Isn't it funny?! Felix trying so hard not to let them know that he felt they stood out, yet practically every line he said drew attention to the fact that they were short. Sort of like Archie bunkers' backhanded compliments to various different people of other nationalities or cultures.
And Oscar just looking the other way with the ultimate, "I don't know this guy," expression.
*"EVERYBODY SAY MIDGET!"*
Notice how the wife breaks character by laughing through the scene
It's scenes like these that make me glad that I have the entire series of THE ODD COUPLE on DVD! LMHO!! :) :)
The midget gentleman, was he a Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz? He looks familiar.
yes....he was the mayor who welcomed dorothy and toto to oz lol
I Almost Pee'd my Pants when he said " Midget ".. LMAO!!!!
Even in a scene where they barely converse, JK and TR have perfect chemistry.
“Don’t step on the wire….don’t stare… don’t stare…….everybody say midget”! Loved this show, better than the movie.
*Gizmo gets mad at Felix!!*
Gizmo: don't call me a midget because I am small does not mean I'm a midget!
Brain gremlin: are we the same person?
Awesome show.
Why are grunions so damned funny?
It must be a friggin' dream - there's a friggin' dwarf in it!
The Lollipop Guild
My dad and I watch the Odd Couple at times - - - when enjoying a nice meal & drinks - Laugh & laugh - - 5 - - > ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ - - - -
Of course, just having Wilfred sit down while his parents flanked him would have solved everything, but Felix was too flustered to think of it.
I was born in 1960 and I had a crush on this actress growing up...doney oatman....such a great funny show
Felix reminds me so much of my brother Larry Chambliss
Odd couple was a really funny show.
joking abt a sensitive topic pulled of tastefully... a frkn riot and true comedic talent Peace
I'M DONE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great scene!
amazing haha i still laugh every time i wat hbtbere show.
I believe the father also played a Martian in an episode of the Brady Bunch.
looks a little like a hank hill episode gon wrong u know the family won't hire Felix again
I watched this as a little kid i lovec this show
He’s so cute, I’d like to pick him up.
Great episode
I think someone's getting a free family portrait!
The Albertson were smart to go to Felix. Portraits are his specialty.
everybody say midget--GYAHAH
I wonder if the term "midget" was as offensive to them then as it is today. Is "dwarf" truly preferable? I think "vertically challenged" is an insult. And "little person" sounds childish. Forget "munchkin". What's so bad about "midget"?
Everything you say today about anyone is wrong. 🤕
Little person is the supposed preferred term in the States.
Very underrated show
No it isn't. Lasted five years, won Emmys for Randall and Klugman, nominated three times for outstanding comedy series, still popular in reruns, both characters are icons...
Explain how that translates to "underrated"
@@chiefscheider - Yes 👍 You’re 100% Right.
Mike is a dope.
Love the show
Great scene. Saw it the first time, and have always wondered whether it wasn't ad-libbed 🤔
Not sure it would go over today 😒
i would have liked to see her actually pick him up!

Could never have gotten THIS (@ 4:25) from Jack Lemmon!
funny funny funny
I have said that line "Are your shoes to big" a gazillion times, in my life (mostly when it had nothing to do with anything, at the moment) because of THIS episode.

If I am not mistaken THIS episode originally aid in 1972.
His daughter was played here by Doney Oatman. Other times she was played by Pamelyn Ferdin.
Yes
Ilmao ,my sides are splitting.
Tony randall was so silly. ..
He's so cute I want to pick him up..none of that

love it
I COMPLETELY AGREE
Classic
The Odd Couple was a great show. The show was ruined in its last season when they started to rely too much on celebrity cameo appearances.
What are you talking about? Season 5 was as brilliant as seasons 2, 3 and 4. The first season was the only weak one. The show took off once they went three camera and added an audience.
Season 5 is my fav
@@kendallrivers1119 I always thought it was a stretch for a photographer and small-time sports writer to have so many celebrity encounters.
Can someone tell me the name/season of this episode please? Thanks.
