Welcome back Kotter joke

[teamdawson1]

Lighten up already! Kotter was funny. The writing was excellent comedy. Not like the many wonderful comedy programs we have to choose from post-MASH. Reruns of Kotter?

[AnimalLover1977]

RIP Robert

[paredesj84]

Racist,but funny.

[nygnyg1]

GABE KAPLAN was a marvelous comedian...

[restarts82]

if this was a black joke this episode would be banned the show cancelled and kaplan wouldve had to apologize publicly .

[richardwha]

There's a big difference between racist and racial. That joke was racial. 

[fbebeats]

ppl. talk about how dumb Gabe's jokes are. It's all about the delivery. A joke doesn't have to be dirty to be funny.

[KameronJ7]

Easy now. Everyone knows only white people can be racist. Tyler Perry, Tracy Morgan, Bobby Lee, Ken Jeong etc. are just really funny people.

[brooklynbred]

That is SO racist!

[Schwarze999]

@brooklynbred fuck you

[horatio422006]

@brooklynbred Alright. How much compensation do you want?

[TexDad1971]

you want real racism in humor, go watch All in the Family or the Jeffersons. I believe those are the ultimate.

[MBryantFFNY]

The joke was funny to me lmao. Imma use that one.

[BossBass7o7]

Unfunny yes... Racist, no.

[Immortal1000]

The joke was kind of dumb but it wasn't racist.

[DancingSpiderman]

Horshack should take the place of Charlie Sheen on 2 and a half men. Or maybe, Danny Bonaduce.

[ashland1977]

wow back when there were sitcoms worth watching and you could say something funny!! i feel bad for those too young to remember shows like these.

[anythinggoesjoe]

hes last joke he called hes wife a bitch

[getoutofmyway01]

@GaryHasGone HAHAHAHAHA You're a funny son of a gun. You should be on tv..  Nevermind this Gabe Kaplan shit, you're the man!

[mixedbreed19]

@getoutofmyway01 I know where he got the joke, but lol, its all good...comedy never got anywhere without regurgitation :D

[NinaThePitbull]

@mixedbreed19

..or without critics givng tonue in cheek crtiiques disguised as compliments. enjoy the laugh and release your ever failing attempts at elitism by stating what you know and calling something regurgiatation. regurgitation is what people like you do to everything that brings joy to others. you analyze, critique, and speak of a knowledge that is not known to others.

Q: If comedy evolves through "regurgitation" , as you claim, then how would YOU know where he "GOT" it from?

[StargazerMoon1]

II love all the Welcome back Kotter series. They're just awesome!! :) thankyou for putting these up!

[getoutofmyway01]

@timmyvamsterdam lol

[slidebone]

Awful.

[EmmaGirlified]

Kotta rox

[Westyrulz]

Smack was sooo good back then!!

[Ducttaper]

haha i love this show wish they still played it:{

[horatio422006]

There's no way she's acting when she laughs.

[MormonOnceCatholic]

@horatio422006 I also suspected she was told to sit and listen to his jokes. I always enjoyed that part of the show. In fact I was always looking forward to it. They were clean and worth retelling!

[getoutofmyway01]

@horatio422006 - no, someone must be tickling her feet. She knew the script. She was a laugh puppet. That was her job on the show. But she was pretty. I always thought so.

[michele3566]

thats my home town

[smoke126857]

Rented.

[epics7]

i miss being a kid during the 70's.

[dovermoreno]

@epics7  I don't even REMEMBER being a kid during the 70's..... That's what happens when Cheech and Chong are your role models....

[getoutofmyway01]

@dovermoreno hahha  Love it

[getoutofmyway01]

yeah, his wife was a laugh puppet. She laughed at all of his jokes. Even if they weren't funny...

[KULCAT]

@getoutofmyway01 she's the wife, she's suppossed too!!

[Slang4Art]

@getoutofmyway01 She also made him sandwiches, even if he didn't punch her.

[getoutofmyway01]

@Slang4Art i hated the way she looks at him like he's so funny.... Because he wasn't really that funny at all. Look at the love in her eyes. Blech

[beasst94]

@getoutofmyway01 and thats why you'll probably be alone for the rest of your life

[getoutofmyway01]

@beasst94 I'm married with 12 kids you knucklehead. ALone?  I wish... lol

[ardalsgirl]

Lol!

[starwarsrebel2006]

I grew up in the 70s. I wish we still had hairstyles like that.

[Tyehao]

@starwarsrebel2006 you should go outside more....they are

[Mysterwright]

Burt straightened his hair then lost it all. j/k

[samiullahmir]

This was a great show and I love Brooklyn long live NYC !!!!

[IanGorton]

He did that joke in a stand up routine in Montreal a few years back too

[timothyskateboards]

haha

[ebonics4everyone]

That joke was totally innocent and kind of dumb, but today some dickweed would think it was racist and try to get the show banned from TV.

[Slang4Art]

@ebonics4everyone QFT

[xXitalia07Xx]

@ebonics4everyone ..... very true!

[mixedbreed19]

@ebonics4everyone ABSOLUTELY RACIST ON ALL ACCOUNTS!!!!!! haha, k, not at all...loved the joke, loved the show....north america just seriously needs to chill out...it's like now an easily apparent and aggressive movement to be politically correct.....everyone's turning into a freakin Al Sharpton....now if you made an asian joke about poor driving, rice farming or being an inexplicable genius, then obviously ur working on ships that have clearly sailed by now. :D

[KrfNYC2]

@ebonics4everyone I don't know about the "dickweed" part but yeah...we're a little too sensitive and tend to over-react in today's society. Just my humble opinion. Peace.

[laffizzle]

i didn't get it

[misspinktastic]

the joke being that he'd obviously be adopted if a guy who looked like him had asian parents

[RJRanke]

Kaplan told this joke when I saw him on the stage in 1974-and he followed with a hilarious routine about the then-current TV series Kung Fu.

[kneedragginfool]

Kung Fu ruled! I wish they'd replay that on the tube so me and my boy could watch it. Loved that show.

[Gennisis01]

rofl gabe kaplan aint dead, he plays poker and is the commentator for a HSP show. dont believe in alot of rumors about people dying rofl. if anything youd hear them first through the news, not through your friends. someone told me over a year ago, that heath ledger just died. i checked and he didnt die. but a few weeks later he actually did so.....you never know

[daycan1]

i met gabe last week. he is definitely alive.

[Gennisis01]

i love it how people think what he said was racist...really...really...you are the racist for thinking he was the racist. that had nothing to do with skin color, or anything. its how oriental people sound. do you think jay leno is racist when he doest that govenator voice/ well do ya/ think before you speak, and stop being so quick to judge, thats how you end up stupid

[AAMLfan]

"Oriental people"

People don't use that term anymore. And as a Chinese, I can say that No, that's not how all Asians talk.

[Camaro69badgrl]

I always had a thing for kotter when I was like 5 or 6. lol

[sweetttina666]

No woman wants a nice guy that hangs around and is always telling jokes. They want to be angry and knocked up by someone who's never home, because he's out cheating.

[dimegood]

Damn that was racist. smdh

[RCBIFE]

I'm not sure if it's a rumor, but I'm hearing that in addition to the passing of Eartha Kitt, Gabe Kaplan also passed. May they both R.I.P.

[Captmiloman]

Gabe's still alive and well. He's still playing poker. He and my cousin could almost pass as twins.

[MaxEm87]

the host of High Stakes Poker

[Skinnyd4]

Sorry. Clicked on the thumbs down by accident.

[BestManMe09]

Golden Girls is a better show than this 70's series!

[blong4133]

hahahaha...i'm only 21 so i obviously wasn't around when this show was on, but i remember when i was little and me and my dad would watch reruns on nick at night. next to sinefeild i think this was the greatest show of all time! haha

[TabbyAngel2]

AGREEED!

[IH8WRONGPPL]

OMG I didn't know Gabe Kaplan was an actor. ROFL, this is most excellent news!

[beatlebijou]

Oh god, that's hilarious.

I miss this show so much.

[hootyhaha]

They're making a WELCOME BACK KOTTER movie, and Ice Cube will be playing KOTTER. This is not B.S. unless the info on the internet movie database is B.S. which I would not doubt. I hope it's B.S. that is.

[danibmx1]

welcome back welcome back

now they dont show these type of programs anymore(THESE ARE BEATIFUL PROGRAMS)

they only show sex program

disgusting

[sg500]

ling chow... lmao . he looks and tells jokes like billy crystal

[zisi48]

was a fabulous show

[LordKingdomHearts]

great show, wish they had quality television like this now adays!!

[Brainman94]

I remember this joke - even at 13 i thought the chick was laughing wrongly - like too much - its not that funny.

Of course then i thought shows were real - now I know she was probably just an actress high on drugs!

[KeinPCvorallem]

Marcia Strassman was really hot--all the more so because she was beautiful in a realistic way, in that she looked like a real person you might meet, as opposed to a surgically altered, inhumanly plastic supermodel (i.e., most of the actresses on TV over the past fifteen or twenty years).

[Steve197201]

I love the jokes Gabe used to make in each episode. They really made the show unique.

[regkiwi]

lol

[dmariomc]

LOL thanks

[tigz0]

haha thanks for uploading.
