The Andy Griffith Show - Opie And The Spoiled Kid 4/4

[SuperKrisnelson800]

when my grandparents were little, they were spanked or whipped, and were sent behind the woodshed, not inside it.

[1985OldSkool]

If that crying kid was in the WWE, he'd be a wrestler that gets booed (heel).

[Hiraghm]

Arnold has learned the fine art of abusing someone's love.

He could go far.... Congressman Arnold Winkler, (D) Mayberry.

[Hiraghm]

I love this episode, especially today.

Andy as a Tea Partier.

Arnold and Opie as Democrats.

Arnold's Father as Republican.

[sadanjd]

LOL on this old accent sounds like a meeting in the white house :)

[fromthesidelines]

If you want to see the ACTUAL "integrated commercial" that appeared after the end of this episode, search for "Opie throws a tantrum for Jello Vanilla Jello Pudding"- it's an excellent example of how sponsor General Foods often tied in their integrated ads to the evening's plot....

[fromthesidelines]

ANDY: {grinning} I thought so! [holds jar up to camera] Try Sanka coffee, in the nice-to-hold new jar. The coffee for folks who LOVE good coffee- OUTSTANDINGLY good coffee! I appreciate it, and good night!

[fromthesidelines]

ANDY: Say, how 'bout joinin' me in a cup of coffee?

WINKLER: Don't mind if I do! [notices Sanka jar next to cup] Sanka? You drink it, too?

ANDY: Sure! it's the best instant coffee I know. 97% caffein free, easy-handle jar...I like it!

WINKLER: My wife and I enjoy it, too. Calms me down.

ANDY: Tell me....how much MORE are you enjoying it since Arnold's become a good boy?

WINKLER: {chuckling} A lot!

[fromthesidelines]

Originally, there was an integrated commercial for Sanka coffee after the last scene- usually tied into the evening's episode. I think it might have been like this:

ANDY: {enjoying a cup of coffee at his jailhouse desk, as Mr. Winkler walks in} Well, howdy, Mr. Winkler! How's Arnold these days?

WINKLER: Oh, he's better behaved now- thanks to you.

ANDY: Well, I can't take ALL the credit! I just pointed out the woodshed, that's all!

WINKLER: With real wood, too! {both laugh}

[Ranger337]

At 1:37 Andy says the best thing that most people have forgotten now. "If we don't teach kids to live is socitey today, what's gona happen when they grow up?"

[dovie2blue]

@Ranger337 Yeah, we have a whole lotta spoiled kids that never saw the inside of a woodshed.

[dhucke4assembly]

Andy sure had his number

[tterhaar2000]

all parents could learn alot watching Andy Griffith Show.

[Hisgraceforme]

I loved Opie's response at the end when Andy asks him if he thinks Arnold deserves a spanking. He replies, "I don't want to say. After all, he is one of my own kind." Even though Arnold is a spoiled BRAT who deserves to be spanked soundly, Opie won't say anything against him.

[hwy61media]

@Hisgraceforme It's kind of ironic. Andy would have taught Opie the value of loyalty!

[Hisgraceforme]

@hwy61media - you're right of course.  One of the most important things displayed in the show was Andy's loyalty to those close to him. Otherwise, why would he have allowed Barney to remain as deputy - he was totally inept. Andy even gave him the credit for the things he himself did. Barney was a funny character for sure, but he was the worst deputy ever.

[hwy61media]

@Hisgraceforme An astute observation. No argument here. Thanks for commenting.

[Wiggitywigg323323232]

You would put your dad in jail for a bike

3:06 LOL

[hwy61media]

@Wiggitywigg323323232 The spoiled kid would :) Thanks for commenting.

[mcmgator]

@Wiggitywigg323323232 Yeah I think that's what brought dad to his senses finally. "Wow my son would see me in jail to have some bike......and I'm feeding him, clothing him, giving him a home?" Pretty selfish kid.

[Astraldragon1]

@mcmgator , I agree he was a Pretty selfish kid  but it was the father's fault for giving his son what ever he wanted. I'm guessing the father grew up with not much in his life and well working hard and being a success with lot of money can go to your head if your not carefull especially when you spoil your child.

[mcmgator]

@Astraldragon1 Yeah you're right, it was totally the father's fault. Give him everything and yeah this is what happens, but yeah I just think this was the turning point. His father didn't realize what a monster he'd created until he witnessed his attitude. "I want my way and if it means someone else suffering because of it then so be it, father, mother, whoever, doesn't matter to me." So dad finally took his desire from him this time. Whining? Das right soften his rump a little lol.

[bandit957]

The spoiled brat in this show reminds me of some of the spoiled brats I went to high school with.

[hwy61media]

I know what you mean :)

[CadillacL]

Andy Griffith, THE greatest show of all time. One of my favorite episodes.

[endorphinz]

I love how they all walk into the courthouse and look down at Opie like "wtf?" lol...

[jspicey0212]

im only 13 and this is my favorite show

[hwy61media]

I'm really glad to hear that. It is a very good show.

[Kleman09]

It scared me when i saw arnold's father smile at teh mention of wood shack. Seems to me he will enjoy beating his son. Now that raises an alarm in me. There are alternatives to spanking. My parents have never thought of that and i find myself winding up like them. Angry all the time and yelling at people when im upset. I intened to end that with me and settle with the alternatives with my son when i have one in the future.

[JohnSilverfan01]

When a kid acts like that, a good spanking will prevent them from getting any worse. When I was a tot, I had a number of spanking and I never acted any worse.

[airplaneman123]

this is why i love andy so much...he only spanks when extremely necessary...otherwise he talks and changes your mindset so you dont act that way anymore...this is my favorite vid

[hwy61media]

This may be my favorite episode of The Andy Griffith Show because of the great common sense, down to earth advice he gives Opie.

[MisterBeaucoup]

@airplaneman123 Best father ever. I don't care if he's a fictional character. A lot of people could learn a lesson or 2 from Andy Taylor.

[airplaneman123]

hahahahahaha

Barney: i wasnt"

Man: i want that bike now

Boy: : )

Man: i'm gonna sell it

Boy: noooo you cant...BOOHOOHOO

Andy: there's a good ol' woodshed out back...you can settle it nice and quiet

Man:c'mon arnold

Opie: Pa, is arnold gonna get spanked?

(i love this one) Andy: dont you think he deserves it?

[hwy61media]

If ever a kid had it coming, that Arnold did. What a brat!

[airplaneman123]

this is the best vid i've ever seen....i wish andy was my dad

[hwy61media]

You couldn't ask for better :)

[jovifan771]
