Hi Gang,
I went in to the digest archives in my section and found a post I made in
November, 2011. Thought I would re-post below regarding what I think if one
of the funniest exchanges on TAGS.

men are sitting around the
Today while working a man came through my line and we talked about what we

said,"Have you heard of Andy Griffith?"
I had to tell him about m

Manicurist is one of my favorites too.
Especially when in Floyd's shop,
The Mayor asks Barney " Barney, you're a bachelor, think you could handle a
gal like that?"
Barney replies " You kiddin? You think you're talking to a country boy?

I think the funniest exchange is found in the Manicurist episode when the

My all time laugh out loud scene is when Andy climbs into the sidecar and
Barney drives off and leaves him behind. The reaction of the guys in the

My all time funniest line occurs in the episode "My Fair Ernest T. Bass".
Andy, Barney, and Ernest are in Andy's living room. Barney tells Andy and
Ernest that he is going to go outside and show Ernest T how to enter a room
properly. Barney goes out the door, and about

My pick for funniest episode: "Barney's Sidecar." Some hysterical
dialogue (Barney describing riding with his mouth open and not pronouncing the
letter "s", Aunt Bee comparing him to a Nazi) and a brilliant sight gag
straight out of the Marx Brothers.

Trying to pick the funniest TAGS episode would be a perplexing job, indeed.
Every show has it's golden moments of humor, genuine warmth, and human
insight-making a choice like that a fun but impossible chore!
Having said that, the episode I watched last night, "The Fun Girls"
I have to agree that "wonder who that could be?" is the funniest line in the
series.
Maybe we could do a favorite line poll, or funniest line poll on the web site,
similar to the Favorite episode poll.
And my choice for the most prophetic lineGot time to breathe, got time
"Baked Alaskan" will always enjoy the memorable line by Barney that concludes
his soliliquy in "Dogs, Dogs, Dogs"; "Boy, Giraffes are selfish! He truly
believes it.

I laugh every time I hear Ernest T. Bass ask in his nasal voice, "I wonder
who that could be?" The scene is in My Fair Ernest T. Bass and Barney is
going to teach Ernest T. how to enter a room properly. The look Andy gives
Ernest T. is priceless. Then of course there are more lines later in the

I agree it's tough to rank this category. My Fair Ernest T. would be up there,
as well as Barney's Sidecar. But I still come back to One-Punch Opie.

and leave me in stitches every time.

It sure is hard to narrow TAGS down to one funniest episode! There are so many
possibilities. But I think I would agree with someone else who named "The Bank

when the real bank robbers take over) puts me i
