ginobli

[DianaBanana1775]

I remember watching this scene distinctly as a child of 5, it was wartime in Bosnia, yet it made us laugh.. wow memories

[DzekoVelez]

@DianaBanana1775 STa ima

[DianaBanana1775]

@DzekoVelez

Zravo prijatelju haha

[Juan321C]

This was my favorite episode from this show!

[kevin2themystic]

Great, but you didn't include my favourite part: "I know baking bibibabkas is a back breaking business, Balki buddy but ..."

[kitsunefire1]

I work at Panera, and we're probably gonna sing this when we sell Babkas.

...Customers are gonna be SO confused. xD

[kitsunefire1]

@LotusFay No, I think you're thinking about someone else. :P

But you should definitely do that! :D

[matildarooski1]

@kitsunefire1 I looooove Paneras. I am so coming in just for the song.

[thugly921]

COZIN!

[Alchymyst02]

I love the allitteration in this bit ! :D 

[skittlepumpkin]

Haha I get this stuck in my head aaalllll the time :)

Perfect Strangers FTW

[gloryhousegt]

how could they get through this without totally crackin up? what professionals...hahahaha

[littlesongbird1]

@gloryhousegt I bet there was at least a few do overs. I wish they had some of the take outs of this.

[wombat10002000]

@gloryhousegt It might have been cut out. We don't know how many outtakes they had to do.

[equusreined]

I loved this show! Totally classic!

"We be so happy, we do the dance of joy!" :)

[ghariiscool]

lmao this was a classic show

[ghariiscool]

5 people could not smile on what they baked

[GrinningSoul24]

5 people rolled the dough too quick

[ilovetortillas]

oh man...i freaking love this! every friday when my brother and i were kids, my mom would order pizza and we'd eat while watching perfect strangers. such great times

[empriss80]

Loved this show

[mozart20dlubos]

I wonder how many takes this took

[glamourgirl821]

OMG! This was the most memorable scene from this show for me. Even 20 years later I have been singing this song!

[MrTripp1977]

I remember this episode. The Bibbi-Babkas end up exploding. As usual, it turns out that there is a practical reason behind Balki's strange Myposian customs.

[jurvis1]

COUSIN,..YOUR A MAN REPOSESSED!

[jurvis1]

In the beat of Limbo Rock by Chubby Checker. "When your rolling out the dough, just be sure and roll it slow. If make the dough too quick, baby babkas make you sick. When you put the filling in, just make sure and wear a grin. When you smile at what you bake, baby babka does not swell."

[KingFelix78]

Mini Wheats has stolen the bibbi-babka ditty! Just check out the latest commercial, and sing along!

[jurvis1]

@KingFelix78 : I couldn't find the commercial, but I'll bet it's because the tune is just like Limbo Rock by Chubby Checker.

[FutureNewsAnchor]

What's interesting about this song is that every line, with the exception of the final one. rhymes in both English and Myposian.

[taramattiest]

I wish this show was back on the air. It's amazing, better the most of the stuff on air today.

[AnD082292]

They just don't make shows like this anymore...awesomeness!

[phunchurchgirl]

I don't know why this song popped into my mind and why I still know it

[Autonova]

at 1:51 he makes a mistake and says 'booby'! and they're trying so hard not to laugh hahaha

[FutureNewsAnchor]

Look at Mark Linn-Baker's face at around 1:53. He's tryin' SO HARD not to laugh!

[FutureNewsAnchor]

What does Balki say? I think it's "Please... stop... RUSHING!", but I'm not sure.

[FutureNewsAnchor]

"We're talking mass production here." "DON'T bring religion into this"!

[luvgirlsfeet]

i've been looking for this clip forever thank you 

[rickyfan3956]

Holy crap, I'm CRYING with laughter! The tongue twisters and--I'm certain--ad libs were GREAT!

[jlrc63]

This one is the best episode of the show. The dance is hilarious.

[trolloftheyear]

Man, people in the 80s found this shit entertaining?

This is fucking retarded.

[AnimeGirl375]

@trolloftheyear That's what makes it so funny- the fact that it's so silly and outrageous.

[cricket525252]

The tongue twisters at the beginning of this scene is a perfect example of the superior comedy skills these guys have. It's especially funny to watch Linn-Baker hold in his laughter as Pinchot ad libs a little trying to get his friend to go up on camera.

[Francozilla]

Thanks nickcmkit and YouTube!!

I haven't seen this in ages, not since 1994!!

[shoopeeshoop]

My sisters and I sang this song so much as kids too, and I just realized today that all these years we have been singing all the wrong words....this episode was the best!! Thanks for posting this video!

[wishpackers]

This was my favorite episode. I can't believe it's here.

[robertlewis2002]

i sang this song for years after the show lol. I remember singing this song so much and thanks to youtube i've found it lol.

[abacab87]

Talk about homoerotic

[BoracayOcean69]

and the time the foreign guy had put the car keys in a "safe place"......he locked them in the car!! hehehe

[Angel8376]

this show was so stupid.

[matildarooski1]

I often wonder what I'm forgetting because this song has been taking up brain space for god only knows how long.

[peoplewhodrinkable]

@matildarooski1 The other day I couldn't remember my own cousin's name! Believe or not,sometimes it's that bad... :)

[MCMOOGIE]

My kids loved this show. We still sing the Bibbbi-Bobka Ditty (and yet we've never been institutionalized...........I wonder why!)

[nj29au]

" Shouldn't I be leading?"

[breezy501]

1:50 - 1:55:

Was that a smirk??? LOL!

[nsj1979]

Yes it was!

[Italia418]

LOL I used to watch this every Friday and laugh with my mamma till our sides hurt. I love this show thanks for posting this!!!

[gp4nut]

[fluffysue]

LOL! That is one of the best scenes!

[eleddieboy]

AWESOME! this was my favorite episode!

[FMan905]

If you drop the damn ditty your doomed!

[tninjha]

wow! love that song! but where is it from?

[nsj1979]

Originally, it's "Limbo Rock" by Chubby Checker. Same rhythm, same beat, everything!

[linkzoo]

Classic comedy!!!! This is awesome!

[Ebethlee]

LOVE IT!!! I love the alliteration!!!

[MarkusZ]

I love the ad-lib at 1:47 that cracks up Cousin Larry...and did you notice Balki's legs dance at 1:59??? LOL

[redbecs]

Love , love ,love this thank-you so much for posting, another golden nugget from my past!!!

[sandiablo78]

Whheeeenn ... you're.... rolling out the dough...

[TheCheshireofQuidget]

"It's too fast! And besides, shouldn't I be leading?" Too bad there isn't a recipe out there for Bibbibobkas. They seem delicious...when made right that is!

[sasquatchexpress]

we're all perfect strangers
