I remember, that's actually addressed. The warden explains he allows them to wear their normal clothes on their last day. Help with the whole reintigration thing.
@@terradraca Last week actually. But then in Season 3, the Joker has a gray suit on when he's released and Catwoman somehow had his purple suit jacket and pants ready for him at her hideout.
He's actually doing an impression of FDR. mostly just cause The Penguin was written as a dirty politician. Burgess didn't think FDR was dirty, Burgess was actually a life long democrat. But FDR was one of the most famous presidents in recent memory. So thats why he chose him to parody.
I love how, as early as his first episode, Penguin was able to turn Batman's detective mind against him, and get him to plot a whole bird-themed crime from a totally senseless clue! He was always one of my favourite Bat-villains!
INDb states 'Burgess Meredith had given up smoking some twenty-odd years earlier, but his character was required to smoke with a cigarette holder. The smoke would get caught in his throat and he would start coughing. Rather than constantly ruin takes in this matter, he developed the laugh to cover it up'. What a great character Penguin was, all down to Mr Meredith's (RIP) fine acting skills.
I really wish they'd bring back this style of Penguin for the Batman movies. It really, really wouldn't kill the Batman films to lighten up and have a little more fun.
Great actor, you don't think he's the same guy at all when he played Mickey Rocky's trainer. He has a cool tiny part as an old Irish Hells kitchen guy who owes the mob money in State of Grace, an excellent hard to find movie with Sean Penn.
Burgess Meredith a man who can play a penguin like villain, a worker finding a job in the great depression with a man who's slow and a Philadelphia boxing trainer well
His acting in "Rocky" was fantastic. My favorite line of his is when he begs Rocky to be able to train him for the big Bicentennial fight with Apollo Creed, concluding with, "...I'm 76 years old..."
The more I watch these old episodes, the more I like the Penguin. Burgess Meredith was well liked by the crew too. They always had a script ready for whenever he was available.
Alan Alda says Meredith worked super hard at everything, even bit roles. Someone who takes his work so seriously would probably be pretty easy to crew for.
He showed him as a little intelligent criminal, and he acted as a confident master criminal, and the way he smoked and all his expression hand eye, body coordination was amazing depending on the situation of his roll , one never tired of watching him every time, even all the group, frank, LM whether, joker are class act, whereas ridler was also superb.
Rip Burgess Meredith also best known for playing Mickey Goldmill in the classic Rocky in 1976 along with sequels Rocky 2 and 3 and back in Rocky 5 in 1990 and as Grandpa Gustafson in Grumpy Old Men films.
My favorite Penguin episode was when he was running for mayor of Gotham City. He had just embarrassed Batman when Batman wouldn't kiss a voter's baby. Then he said to Batman: "Politics is wonderful!!! I can use all my dirtiest, slurpiest tricks but now they're all legal!!LOL
I am thankful that I remember Burgess Meredith during my childhood in the 80s. Rocky III, and the BatMan in syndication. He was TRULY an actor’s actor indeed. Carl Weathers spoke very kindly of him in a SAG interview in the recent years.
I randomly went onto Wikipedia to see what else he has done. I am a huge Rocky fan and didn't know about his other work. Ended up feeling very ignorant. How was I so unaware of what a great, and long, acting career he had?
@@mattwilson2776 it’s because he made a name for himself decades before we were born. I don’t watch a lot of movies from the 1930s through the 1950s. and if it wasn’t for Batman, Rocky, and Grumpy Old Men I wouldn’t know how awesome Burgess Meredith was. He was sure great, wasn’t he?
2:23 The actor playing Penguin's henchman "Sparrow" is Walter Burke. He also played "Alfred Swanson" in the Munster's episode, "Movie Star Munster." That distinctive voice tipped me off! 😀
The first bit makes me feel like villains used to do these kinds of things just for the attention. Crook: I dunno, Penguin. Couldn't we just knock over a candy store and call it a day? Penguin: We could. We could. Wouldn't be really unique though. Anyone can do that. I want to do something really dazzling!
Later in the series in the episode "Dizzoner the Penguin" he gives my favorite line. A pollster tells him he is losing the mayoral race to Batman. Penguin says, "You better pray my lead holds or you'll be taking random samples of river water... from the bottom."
Watching this show on TV in Black and wHITE ON A B/W TV SCREEN as a child in the 1970's AND BEYOND WAS AWESOME...however nothing beats the dynamic colorization of it All!
You can see in these early episodes, they hadn’t nailed down some of the more iconic aspects of Penguin’s character, such as the quacking laugh, which Meredith said he used to cover when the cigarette would make him cough.
The worlds of 8 year old kids watching this everyday at 3 o'clock, rushing home from school, for the totally real. Go figure. The unreal. In 1975 re-runs.
That was explained in an earlier part of the scene. They are allowed to wear their own clothes for the last week of their sentence to help acclimatise them to outside life again.
The 4 original Criminals of the Adam West BatMan series were my favorites: Burgess Meredith Cesar Romero Lee Meriwether Frank Gorshin Danny Devito and Jack Nicholson were a good Penguin and Joker but no one can beat the originals.
This was an Incredible Video for My Second Favorite Villain In The Batman 1966 Series and My Second Favorite Version of Oswald Cobblepot/ The Penguin. The Late Burgess Meredith (1907-1977) did a Phenomenal Performance Being The First Actor to bring Oswald Cobblepot/ The Penguin to Life.
What a incredible iconic actor Burgess Meredith was, and still remains to this day!!! A Magical Healing Shaman he was!!! When your re-watch these old scenes, and these giants of actors come on the set and do a over the top performance, plus adding in how the "set" is "Masterfully Dressed", for that total dramatic effect for the scene, and the star performance of these iconic actors this is not likely to be captured like say Mr. Burgess Meredith ever again, and you are just thankful to be in the now moment, and yes in that now moment that you are tangibly in you experience dramatic healing, your star becomes your healer, no joking here folks, their great, and natural, and innate abilities as a actor directly transcend time, and space to dissolves tumor's diseases within our own bodies. You send, We send, we all send to Mr. Burgess Meredith our Magical Healing Shaman, 1,000,000 Thank You (s) and Salutations!!! Re-watch your Healer video throughout your life, not every day, only when you truly need major, and total intervention with a disease,, and if need be, turn off the tv, radio, don't read the paper, and watch your Shaman for the most powerful results imaginable!!! okay? Good!!! Kelly
The guy named Hawkeye also appeared on another episode of Batman playing the henchman of the Penguin once again! I guess he stayed in touch with the Penguin while they were both in prison!
Actually Burgess Meredith never smoked and it's where comes the penguin laugh from. The actor would cough while smoking and cover it with squeaky birdly laughters
If there's a camera in their cell wouldn't they notice it panning and tracking them earlier on? In addition to that, the damn cameras were freaking huge!!!!!.

I like how both the Penguin and his masked henchman were allowed to keep their entire outfits in jail
I remember, that's actually addressed. The warden explains he allows them to wear their normal clothes on their last day. Help with the whole reintigration thing.
@@terradraca Last week actually. But then in Season 3, the Joker has a gray suit on when he's released and Catwoman somehow had his purple suit jacket and pants ready for him at her hideout.
And how the 1960’s hidden camera was capable 7 different angles.
@@VenerableBede2510 And how it took them forever to see a 1966 camera that had to be at least 1/2 cubic foot in size.
That’s where your suspension
Of belief withered
They couldn't have found a better actor to play someone so birdlike in look, voice and manner.
Oh I thought it was Richard Nixon melting into that child catcher from chitty chitty bang bang
Danny Devito Lol
He's actually doing an impression of FDR. mostly just cause The Penguin was written as a dirty politician. Burgess didn't think FDR was dirty, Burgess was actually a life long democrat. But FDR was one of the most famous presidents in recent memory. So thats why he chose him to parody.
The penguin is written as a cliche that shall not be named these days.
@@NevanSlone Meredith did it better.
Rest in peace to Adam West & Burgess Meredith. They both lived very long successful lives.
Indeed, they both helped bring the batman franchise to life.

Love how Penguin’s cell mate just throws his mother in law under the bus like that.
U mean Mudduh in law ? Lol
At least Penguin wasn't interested in the offer 😂
"How dare you mock me on the eve of my greatest triumph!"
INDb states 'Burgess Meredith had given up smoking some twenty-odd years earlier, but his character was required to smoke with a cigarette holder.

What a great character Penguin was, all down to Mr Meredith's (RIP) fine acting skills.
I heard that too. The way Meredith made it an iconic part of the character was great.
I really wish they'd bring back this style of Penguin for the Batman movies. It really, really wouldn't kill the Batman films to lighten up and have a little more fun.
The closest we've gotten to that was the "Wind-up exploding penguins" line (either Justice League or BvS, cant remember which)
I agree
1:37 never fails to make me smile lol. Burgess Meredith was the best as the Penguin.
Agreed. He sounds classy but rough at the same time when he talks. Only Burgess could do that.
Danny Devito

..and a librarian who is deemed obsolete ...
Also Grandpa Gustafson in Grumpy Old Men films
He was also a Tail Gunner in USAAF Aircrew Training films! Proof that penguins CAN FLY!
The Penguin and the Mad Hatter were the 2 best dressed villains, both in tuxedos & top hats!
I liked how he was a penguin that quacked like a duck.
He (the actor) improvised it to cover up coughing from the cigarette smoke.
The more I watch these old episodes, the more I like the Penguin. Burgess Meredith was well liked by the crew too. They always had a script ready for whenever he was available.
That was Rockys first coach too.
Alan Alda says Meredith worked super hard at everything, even bit roles. Someone who takes his work so seriously would probably be pretty easy to crew for.
RIP Burgess Meredith (November 16, 1907 - September 9, 1997), aged 89
You will be remembered as a legend.
He showed him as a little intelligent criminal, and he acted as a confident master criminal, and the way he smoked and all his expression hand eye, body coordination was amazing depending on the situation of his roll , one never tired of watching him every time, even all the group, frank, LM whether, joker are class act, whereas ridler was also superb.
Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot is definitely the best dressed villian in Gotham City.
Also used the aliases K.G. Byrd, and P.N. Gwynne.
"Pompous waddling master of foul (fowl) play." - commissioner Gordon 1966 batman movie.
Penguin is so fun to watch.
My favourite childhood tv show. Needs to be repeated for today’s youngsters
Could not be more true!
Right. Great show.
The Penguins ciggy may have to go in order to pass pc censorship 😤
Batman the brave and the bold
I watched this as a baby and my first words were "NA NA NA NA NA NA BATMAN!"
I love how no matter how many times penguin gets hit, he never loses his hat or cigarette
Or when he's jailed

8:20 Penguin managed to out fence (umbrella) Batman and Robin. Unlike Joker he is NOT a terribly poor fencer
The best part of this is Penguin making an Orwell reference decades before the internet popularized it.
Burgess Meredith did great penguin
Burgess Meredith was great as the Penguin! I guess after he quit being a criminal in Gotham he became a boxing trainer, lol!
Gotta Love Pengy! He is my fav Bat Baddie! Burgess take on him was AWESOME! Would have loved to see him get to do the Penguin Serious!
My favorite Penguin episode was when he was running for mayor of Gotham City. He had just embarrassed Batman when Batman wouldn't kiss a voter's baby. Then he said to Batman: "Politics is wonderful!!! I can use all my dirtiest, slurpiest tricks but now they're all legal!!LOL
At 6:18 you can briefly see someone off stage catch the penguin as he comes to the end of the zipline.
Burgess Meredith is the best Penguin
He is the penguin now and forever 🐧🐧🐧🐧
For sure. The best.
Without doubt! I love that his laugh was because he was coughing because of the cigarettes too!
no robin lord taylor is the best
Burgess Meredith..He was in an episode in the Night Gallery..

“I am an aristocrat of crookery, my dear man!” Nice.
Burgess Meredith. One of the greatest actors without question.
I just realized it Mickey from rocky. How did I not know this for years. Lol
Because he plays the 2 very different roles so well.

Don’t have to look at a TV….The voice is very distinctive.
@@buckeyewill2166 Yep! 🙂
I was expecting: "get up you sob ... cause penguin loves you"
Hes my favorite villian in the show
Best penguin ever.
Penguin 🐧 is a crafty clever villain bird Burgess will always be my favorite Penguin on Batman
Burgess Meredith was a top drawer actor.
Burgess Meredith plays the role with PZZAZ. ...fantastic fun a and tongue in cheek script ......60s classic that doesn't date...
Burgess sir was the best ever Hollywood actor, he was s true professional...what an actor he was.
The first bit makes me feel like villains used to do these kinds of things just for the attention.
Crook: I dunno, Penguin. Couldn't we just knock over a candy store and call it a day?

Love it! Flashbacks ❤😂
Illegal umbrellas. Talk about a serious crime.
Salute to William Dozier, power to get these legendary actors to appear on this show.
What can I say about the Penguin?. "Magnificent".
Later in the series in the episode "Dizzoner the Penguin" he gives my favorite line. A pollster tells him he is losing the mayoral race to Batman. Penguin says, "You better pray my lead holds or you'll be taking random samples of river water... from the bottom."

Rest in peace Burgess Meredith 🕊️❤️
Rest In Peace Adam West and Burgess Meredith
This show is different from modern comics, but the villains are definitely enjoyable.
A classic and good show!
I loved Burgess Meredith's Penguin :)
I heard after an almost life threatening accident his nose broke to the point of being much shorter and turned into a boxing trainer in Philadelphia.
I miss watching this show
Can’t believe there aren’t more comments here.
You can see in these early episodes, they hadn’t nailed down some of the more iconic aspects of Penguin’s character, such as the quacking laugh, which Meredith said he used to cover when the cigarette would make him cough.
Burgess = Genius... Great stuff
Security camera in 1966: 1080p
Security cameras 2021: 24i
The original Oswald Cobblepot.
My favourite character of Batman is the Penguin man!!!🎩🐧☂️
Meredith is just so perfect as Penguin, he’s genuinely hilarious but also manages to be a credible threat in the context of the show.
"The baleful bird is about to chirp". Sounds like something an actor would do as a speech exercise.
I like this video. I'm not sure why.
The worlds of 8 year old kids watching this everyday at 3 o'clock, rushing home from school, for the totally real.
Go figure.
The unreal. In 1975 re-runs.
A tricky little creature, aha so funny the old Batman
Was anyone concerned that the Penguin and his henchman in the jail cell were wearing their criminal clothing instead of prison uniforms or similar....
That was explained in an earlier part of the scene. They are allowed to wear their own clothes for the last week of their sentence to help acclimatise them to outside life again.
The 4 original Criminals of the Adam West BatMan series were my favorites:
Burgess Meredith
Cesar Romero
Lee Meriwether
Frank Gorshin
Danny Devito and Jack Nicholson were a good Penguin and Joker but no one can beat the originals.
You don’t really think you’ll win, do you?
1 thing's for sure. you can NEVER compare Danny Devito to Burgess Meredeth.
I just realized this is mr Bemis from the twilight zone
I would rather work for the penguin.
Hey Super Sam Seven, are you going to do other Batvillains....False Face? Zelda the Great? Egghead? Please do.
İ realy like this show
All that time fighting Batman and Robin gave him the skills to train Rocky.

Wow, those security guards that work the prison’s CCTV cams like true-blue cameramen! Holy unlikely camera angles, Batman!
wow

"HEY VENGANCE" *Shoots to kill*
Yo Mick, you used to like penguins?---Rocky
Burgess was a lead actor before the 60’s. Like in the comic books he called him “The Batman."
The guy named Hawkeye also appeared on another episode of Batman playing the henchman of the Penguin once again! I guess he stayed in touch with the Penguin while they were both in prison!
I could see that penguin clock (2:05) being a very popular item on Amazon. It would certainly give the ancient coo-coo clock a lot of competition
I just learned that Penguin is Mickey from The Rocky movies🤯👏🏽
🐧my favorite tv penquin in the 90s was pingu,noot noot😁
Love that episode where Penguin and the Joker teamed up together.
Assistia todos os dias. Saudades.
Penguin was my favorite villain in the show. Maybe the closet to a modern day interpretation that the rogues got.
Well the Penguin was pretty ROCKY
This is where Tim Burton got his ideas for Batman Returns.
I cant believe the penguin trained Rocky. Wow
The actor who played Penguin in the show was smoking a lot meaning it’s a sign of lung cancer.
Actually Burgess Meredith never smoked and it's where comes the penguin laugh from. The actor would cough while smoking and cover it with squeaky birdly laughters
God get over yourself
Didn’t have to look at a TV screen….once I hear that gravelly voice of his, I would say to myself, “That’s Burgess Meredith “.
“An Aristocrat of Crookery” Godspeed Burgess Meredith
If there's a camera in their cell wouldn't they notice it panning and tracking them earlier on? In addition to that, the damn cameras were freaking huge!!!!!.
Hawkeye, a henchman of the Penquin? Shield shall hear of this !!!!
