Surf's Up! Joker's Under!

[yogafan6500]

Barbara Gordon is so hot looking. Yvonne Craig is the REAL Batgirl. She's more better looking than that vegan Alicia Silvertone in Fatman & Boy Blunder 1997. And if you look real close That's John Mitchum as Hot Dog Harrigan. He'll best be remembered as Dirty Harry's partner in both the original 1971 classic & The Enforcer 5 years later.

Even before I read Adam West's book, I felt this episode was pushing campy just a little too far. (And of course I later found that Adam West felt the same way.) He felt this episdoe crossed the line into stupidity.

It's really sad to watch an awesome early episode like "The Joker Is Wild," and then see this one. The 3rd season really seemed dedicated to destroying the show after it's GREAT 1st season and the still pretty good 2nd season.

A Bell 47G Batcopter. BTW it was very dangerous to fly it with Batwings on it. They cut down on the lifting power of the copter.

[campbellka]

Love it when the Jokermobile pulls up to Hot Dog Harry's, and the Joker whips out his hot dog. Cesar Romero was so hilarious, and he was intentional in just having fun!

[JLWind3]

"Baggies".

[trixiepace14]

The best thing since grilled cheese....THE SURFING EPISODE! :D

[DemiathDoomhammer]

Joker trying to take over Gotham City and the world from the surfboard..? jesus, this must be the silliest episode in one of the silliest shows ever! Penguin would never do something like this.. lol

[Bfdidc]

@DemiathDoomhammer Who needs a successful scheme when you can have a zany scheme?

[drcrumpler]

Sivi Aberg was one of Chandell's sidekicks, plus Sivi was Chuck Barris' sidekick on The Gong Show.

[gentlerat]

Man! this was before green hair was actually semi-common as something you could do. Also, Joker has a pretty confused notion of how to take over the world, to state the obvious.

[gentlerat]

Man! this was before green hair was actually semi-common as something you could do.

[SeattleLA]

Torrance Beach! Wow! I went there so many, many times including in the 60s.

[SeattleLA]

Footage was from The Endless Summer, a legendary documentary.

[jediknightgeo]

LOL!!! I just LOVE when they bag Hotdog, they dont even lay a finger on him let alone hit him and he just completely gets knocked out for getting a bag over him! Man I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

[kootiepatra]

OMG @ 4:45 those shorts! It's been a while since I've guffawed out loud at my computer screen, but that did it.

[ELFLACOVICTOR]

WOW THIS EPISODE IS SO FAR OUT IF YOU DROP ACID AND WATCH IT!!!!

[Dleifrag100]

I guess the batman surfer theme song just made fans want a surf episode.

[danielplayloud]

i love the music when batman and joker are surfing..... who is it???

[r0bw00d]

0:24 Dear God. Never before or since has such a beautiful woman ever wore such a sexy bathing suit!...

[nestersg]

@r0bw00d

Thunderball!

[JazzThrowOut]

Batgirl is a slamming hottie.

[rexsteel]

@r0bw00d Too bad that bow is in the way, thanks to the censors.

[jupitr2]

This is hilarious! I've never seen the Commissioner and the Chief out of suits. Then to see them jamming at the Dance-a-Go-Go (Hang Five) busted me up. This show had to be so much fun to work on. You can't take anything seriously here, just roll wih it and enjoy. Wish they'd do more of this sort of thing on TV today.

[Kagebushin01]

Transformers did it >.> maybe not first but they did it

[88KAMALA]

Stealing a great surfer's skills to take over

the world! Funniest thing in the series since The Penguin tried to run for mayor

[powermasterjazz]

a classic! lol

[NeonStrawberryinc]

2:50- 3:01 that's the most interesting scheme i've heard in a while.

[apeloki]

and not just a hot dog, but a hot dog in a bun!

[jblackmer98]

what batfan didnt love this episode?... an INSANELY HOT blond chick on the evil side in a bikini the whole time and constantly holding a hot dog... lol am i right?

[hrd177771]

I think Undine (the bikini-chick on the evil side) is the best and sexiest henchgirl of these batman-show...!

[jediknightgeo]

Hell yeah man, she is HOT

[cccphackermaster]

hot dog walkie talkies ?!!!?  XD

[lovepunkalways]

the JOKERmobile.

I wonder who inspired him to call his car THAT?

(Yes I am being sarcastic!)

CAMP HILARITY!

[evilquailproductions]

has anyone noticed that there is a man with name of "Napier" in the opening credits- that's the joker's last name (at least in the 1989 version)

[lovepunkalways]

YEah, but I think it's just a coincidence!

That Alan Napier is the butler I think!

[gculloty87]

Tim Burton used the surname 'Napier' for the character Jack Napier in honour of Alan Napier who died the year before Burton's first Batman film came out.

[wyhawk]

If that blond girl is harley quinn hshit she is fine

[PieFights]

Wow I never thought i see the episode when we get to see Barbera's father and cheif ohera out of the police HQ and working together with Batman Robin and bat Girl!!!

[kgmaj]

the soundtrack music for the Season 3 is the best.

[Garabaldi78]

Totally agree with you! :)

[PrincessBlack890]

"You mean the one talking to her hot dog?"

Turn heads........

LOL!!!!! Talking to her hot dog!!!

[JazzThrowOut]

That line cracked me up too...!

[lastofthedaves]

OH... MY... GOD!!!! Barbara is GORGEOUS! Seriously. And the henc chick ain't bad either. I can just imagine the catfight. WOOF!

[hrd177771]

Oh yes!!! The henchbabe are lovely and a catfight between her and batgirl must be... errh the best!!!

[tokyoamducias]

barbara's swimsuit is incredible.

[HartWhalers]

This show sometimes takes place in NYC others like this (episode)in California!

[sailorgallifrey]

Barbara's swimsuit scares me.  Thanks for uploading this. Now I just need to see the one where Joker takes over a school.

[jameelahere]

i think yvonne's suit is hot too

[DanaAbel28]

It would've been far hotter, if the girl was in a red bikini. I think red is a much sexier bikini color. Wouldn't you guys agree??

[hrd177771]

I would love all bikini colours that Sivi Aberg would be wears!!!

[manofria84]

you mean the one talking to her hotdog that's genius

[oldsman7]

WTF! A hotdog phone? This is some corny shit LOL!

[snakes3425]

5:02: Behold Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dumber

[MikeBA10]

by the way that lady with the joker in the white bathing suit was soooooo sexy

[batgas23]

That was Sivi Aberg. She was on The Gong Show in the 70's as the model.

[hrd177771]

Oh yes indeed! She is the most gorgeus henchbabe in the series I think!!!

[PieFights]

True that

[MikeBA10]

FanOfBats is the best Youtube user ever!

[snakes3425]

4:44: Did Robin just say Cowabunga?

[oski2005]

The blonde girl working with Joker is freaking hot, wish I could find more pics but her only credits are 2 eps of this show.

[deadman00]

the comish actuly lets barbra go out with a bathing suit like that!!

joker surfing!

lol

wath the Frak.

[matthatter56]

Thanks so muuch I have been waiting for this episode on Tv but it never came!

[lbjb247]

Very silly but funny. And hey, Barbera Gordon in a bikini. It's all good.

[haskellstoner]

"Dig the gremmies". Haha

[shikishinobi]

Surfing? How does one take over a city by being good a surfing? I know some of these plans go a little left of center, but this is one of the weirdest ones they came up with. Another one was when Penguin ran for Mayor's office (first season).

[Gobastia]

Why is Penguin running for mayor wierd? You can see how he could take control of Gotham if he was mayor.

And that episode was in season 2 ;-)

This surfing episode was one of the worst episodes. Adam West called surfing in the Bat suit a low point for him in his 'Back to the Batcave' autobiography book.

[shikishinobi]

It has been more than 10 years since I saw that Penguin episode, so my memory wouldn't give me a str8 answer. And while it is a good ploy, there seems to be a major hitch in that plan. Any guesses?

I'll agree with that last part. It looked like it was painful going swimming in that outfit WITH CAPE!

[Hubastanka]

LOL! Dude, there's a major hitch in all the schemes these villains come up with. The plans are all unrealistic and over the top.

But, most of them do have some shreds of sense. This surf one makes no sense. Being king of the surf couldn't possibly help Joker take over Gotham. I mean how could he benefit from it? It's totally inconcievable lol.

I guess in Joker's defence he's crazy :-)

[shikishinobi]

In my opinion, Catwoman has the most sane plans, albeit impossible. But if it were reality, she does come up with some good ones, she just stays around too long in her braging state.

[Timmyfunk1]

If you are able to find that Penguin episode, you'll notice that the debate bares a striking resemblance to the Obama/McCain debates.

[cammy85]

Of course it won't help him take over the city. But being king of the surf might make him a Gotham City hero like Batman, Robin, Bruce Wayne or the Gotham City PD.

[lennonfan4ever40]

Thanks! This is another one of my favourites, too!

[daimen20]

thanks for posting. this is also one of my favorites.
