  • This is a classic example of a typical congressman.

  • A cop that actually knows the constitution? Only in fiction!

  • There is NO funnier comedy bit. EVER. In History.

  • We the people of the United..........flag? No. Breeze? No. Wind? No. Wave? No. Stars?! States. States!
  • THIS IS THE FUNNIEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN ON YOUTUBE!!!!!!!

  • it surprises me that there's no laugh track. 

  • this is funny

  • Happy birthday....mr. Fife...happy birthday.....mr. Fife.....muah*

  • When you learn something, you learn it people!

  • Don Knotts as Barney Fife was simply brilliant! LMAO...again.  Thanks for the post.

  • "We the people of the United... Flag? Breeze? Wind? Wave? Stars? States!"

  • What a sad and sorry ass nation you turned this into Poet but the real truth is that it is the best way to measure its people...

    When it was easy we were all fuckin dancing instead of giggling across the room like fucked up kids...

  • @TheHeardHouse its a TV show its comedy its a joke its not real

  • Comment removed

  • oh yah,

    THOSE THAT GIVE UP LIBERTY FOR SECURITY DESERVE NEITHER!!!!!!

    Only in this country does this sort of craft even fuckin work Holder!!!!!

  • ...compartment trash - WITH GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY- remember that question about a phase line where you would quit so you wouldn't swallow your barrel one day...

    How far back is it now -and only after this month-you shameful and repulsive fucks....

  • to the point they won't even look as they run giggling to the bathroom...

    But you shameful pieces of garbage took an oath never to abuse the Public's trust under Colour of Law but like I said, once you pieces of shameful trash fall through the surface, the farther you sink the less you will even try to look up....

  • government the more frightening it becomes -starting with the most cowardly and pathetic - well the same is true for what you human pieces of trash will stomach because defending the conscience -and defining what is right from what is wrong-only occurs on the surface of the water...

    And just like Obama's dirty load, the more apparent it becomes what they are collectivity part of the more likely they will step over anything and any number of littered men and women much better than them..

  • rule of law, and this democracy in general so you could ensure criminal defenses as you use concealed extrajudicial force to be able to destroy any citizen that has any potential of being a threat to any interest for no apparent reason other than always being able to "ensure" you stayed ahead of Johny's bullet points...

    But the radio tells me you fight the good TEWOW fight you sad professionals...

    Because just like Obama's dirty load seeking security in the most repulsive and disgusting...

  • ...because being able to be tucked away in the perception of the most ignorant society on the face of the earth-as you use it to conceal full blown military rule to ensure their is no lawful proof of something far worse than an overt military dictatorship is nice compartment trash...

    And it is nice that on the flip side of it you have so much global responsibility- which in the past was only to strengthen my vital interests not destroy them so you can collapse as much of society, human rights

  • by the most sadistic spectrum of stellar wind-and not even to ensure the smallest measure of security-which completely wiped liberty from the face of the earth-but exclusively for a criminal defense because the destruction of innocent citizens in the most brutal ways ensures there is no proof of this policy and that is literally why rule of law ended and why every single principle this democracy was founded on collapsed-so these sorry ass pieces of trash can secure future cooperation...

  • turned parallel and run right through them but the destruction far more brutal and sadistic than an overt military dictatorship because the covert extrajudicial force behind it had to have exponentially more control and power to make it look like it was the targets fault-as human rights would collapse ahead of the negative outcome being orchestrated -with the no cause slaves being given a lower setting on their collar to unknowingly spin around the targets who were being unknowingly targeted..

  • Comment removed

  • as our destruction- so Poet could stay ahead of John MCain- would neutralize and erase all the potential that would have never really materialized...but then it was simply switched from overseas to right here in the land of the free and the home of the brave where all these interests became first a reserve to dip into when ever my sorry ass trash wanted to and then a perception that had to be protected at any cost so anyone that even posed any potential of threat to any interest could be...

  • ...on the face of the earth...for my government to be able to destroy any citizen but once upon a time Holder military force actually protected the most vital interests including a guarantee of Due process, human rights, the Geneva Convention, free speech, free press, and all the other bells and whistles but then every sorry ass Senator sort of figured out the craft where they could make the most sensational bullet points based on what is the very least likely thing to ever effect your life...

  • YOU TUBE, call management cause the CI crazies are working overtime to be able to tip anyone to a local...cough...cough paper

    Four star piece of shit of my compartment trash...This is not a hard one to predict...ok...

    Now I know your utter destructive incompetence is blessed by every sorry ass Senator's bullet point that we are God's chosen people with our special responsibility to keep the WORLD SAFE from ROUGE NATIONS and INTERNATIONAL TERROR and there is absolutely no safer country on...

  • Ya sure? We... the. WE THE.

    haha

  • Don Knotts. Genius. Hahahaha.

  • I wish he was my teacher. :P

  • Sounds just like a liberal when they try to interpret its meaning LOL

  • i saw this last year in mah social studies class and this year in mah social studies class and i couldnt even hear what was going on because everyone was laughing sooooo loud, so im glad i found this and it is HILARIOUS!

  • lolololol, He was the funniest man ever !!!! lolololol :D

  • this is todays americans.  the tea party comment i dont get.

    sheeple

  • SAY IT FASTER BARN!!!!!!

    -- ANDY

  • @flapdoodle64 Precisely. Both parties are having a bitchin party at America's expense. Obama gets labeled as a communist, while doing exactly what Bush was doing. Does Obama have the political survival skills to start prosecuting corporate crooks and pull America out of the 3 idiotic wars? Something tells me he doesn't. If Obama was a threat, the banksters would've done him like JFK by now.

  • mr. knotts was awesome! and i loved this show.

    back in the day when watching tv didn't coarsen and corrupt a kid.

  • We the the ummmmm..... Urrr.... Haha my teacher is awesome for telling us this.

  • Love this! LOL! My teacher showed this to us!!! XD

  • You could lower the corporate and capital gains tax rates to zero in this country, and the jobs would continue to be outsourced. These multi-nationals have no loyalty to America. Why would they?

  • omg...my s.s teacher showd us this after we heard the song...and we all laughed to deth!!! sooo funnyy :D

  • Don was a comedic genius, check out the hair-do at 1:27. Hilarious.

  • HaHa pause at 1:26

  • One of the great comedy teams of the 20th century.

  • This about sums up the overall knowledge of the Constitution held by the majority of the sheeple in this country. Almost all of our problems flow from this massive ignorance of our heritage and freedom delivered forth from this document. While this was obviously meant to be humorous, and I did laugh, it also reminded of how sad and tragic our ignorance really is.

  • Barney could be viable Tea Party candidate.

  • @flapdoodle64 Haha..because he doesn't know the Preamble! Tea Party idiots not knowing the preamble! Hahahaha! That's great..because generalizing like that brings unity! hahahaha! Because as a Tea Party member I wouldn't know anything about the 27 Articles of the Constitution or the 85 Articles of the Federalist papers...hahahahaha...You're a riot!!! hahahaha! Who's John Jay? Hahahaha! Alexander Hamilton? Hahaha! James Madison?? Hahahaha!

  • @JesusMakeUpMyDyinBed:

    Don't forget to wipe the spit off your computer screen when you're done.

  • @flapdoodle64 Why would spit be on my computer screen from typing a sarcastic reply to your idiotic comment?

  • @flapdoodle64 No. Fife is a well-meaning idiot. Those tea party bastards are operatives of the banks, Wall Street and the military-industrial complex. They're willing tools of the New World Order, who would delight in a declaration of war against Iran. Give the Republicans six months in the White House. Last time it only took them 8 months to turn their disasterous stupidity on 9-11 into an endless war and nation building escapade in Afghanistan.

  • @flapdoodle64 Barney Fife didn't go around randomly killing people, because they prayed to a different god or couldn't speak English. He wasn't extolling the virtues of American manifest destiny, while allowing more jobs to be outsourced offshore than were created during the past 10 years. Can you imagine the media giving Obama a pass like they did to Bush, if another massive terror attack happened in New York? If you want to know why the Tea Party is morally bankrupt, revisit 2001-2009.

  • @ebonics4everyone

    Just to be clear pal, I despise the Bushies as much or more than anyone. But the Obama Dems are the same or worse. Bush had 2 wars. Obama has 3. Right now, the USA has 4 Republican parties: the Republicans, the Dems, the Tea Bags, and the Libertarians. Now matter what they say, they are all for permanent war and a corporate kleptocracy.

  • they played this in school once, back in 7th grade.

  • barneys the balls.......r.i.p. don knotts

  • what episode is this?

  • barney should've listened to school house rock

  • We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

  • Many Americans also THINK they remember Constitution Class from HS. That is why IT was funny and today is sad

  • And WHY are people arguing about the constitution on this page? This is a comedy routine, for god's sake. LIGHTEN UP!!!!!

  • HOW can you not like this???

  • Continuity blooper; At 2:14 Barney's hair is messed up, then at 2:18 it's combed back perfectly. noticed that flaw many years ago... :)

  • Don Knotts, a master comedian. Rest in peace sir.

  • Oh to have the innocent humor of the Andy Griffith show again. This shows you can be clean and be hilarious at the same time. Thanks for the post!

  • This was a great tribute to we as Americans only done as Barney could! God rest his soul!

  • Obviously there have been debates going on in the comment section which I would like to comment on because of some horrifically ignorant things being said,

    but I'm laughing way to hard at Barney to care right now.

  • This is a TRIBUTE!

  • My elementary school gave me awards for patriotic artwork etc..we were raised to pledge allegiance to OUR flag.

  • Dear barney, our tv`s are a wreck nowadays. They have fourth dimensional chatter bots and brainwashing crap that keeps people sick n crazy. We miss u and good old fashioned regulae tv! We want reruns!

  • Slight continuation mistake if you look at Barney's hair--messy v un-messy. Classic show, Andy Griffith and Don Knotts are part of TV's greatest.

  • I remember Don in the 50's from the old Steve Allen show with Louie Nye and Tom Poaston. He was one of "The Men On The Street" and always played a very shaky, nervous guy.

  • Poor little Barney must have attended the "Michelle Bachman School of the Constitution".

  • Barney Fife is one of the greatest comedy characters in TV history.

  • well, the liberals have always hated the constitution. it has always been a thorn in their side in order to pervert this country to resemble a third world shithole. This is good clip when ALL AMERICANS loved their country. a classic show.

  • @usaeagle1776

    You mean the Constitution which considered blacks 3/5 of a person and accommodated slavery, and women as chattel, and in its preamble, "promoted the general welfare"? Which is to say that human beings are human beings, not human "resources" to be exploited by capitalist Masters of the Universe?

  • @dwsingrs that is right, a liviing document that has changed, been amended and has been proved to be the greatest document ever created. I bet your a Marxist. Communism, and socialism...yeah those ideologies really worked out well didnt they? LOL

  • @usaeagle1776 What I am not is a Wall St. capitalist ideologue who considers other flesh-and-blood humans merely and only "capital," equivalent to a "resource" extracted from the earth. Corporate profit maximization is not an Amuricun "value" worthy of sending the flower of American youth in harm's way to be killed or maimed for life. Max Weber rhetorically asked, "Is God a capitalist?" What is the answer? Just what is the benefit of American citizenship - outsourcing jobs overseas?

  • @dwsingrs are you an american citizen or some illegal? that was the dumbest fucking comment I have read in while.

  • @usaeagle1776

    Sir, I bow in your direction, in awe of your civility and mastery of the English language.

  • @dwsingrs : and I cringe at your nauseous rehash of leftist drivel, class warfare tripe and mundane and borish hate that is typical of leftist morons. I see on your channel you list the USA as your home. No doubt you enjoy the freedom and all that it entails from this "Capitalist System" evil we have here. Pathetic. Go to Cuba,they think like you do.

  • @usaeagle1776 Capitalism is not to be credited for U.S. freedoms. What makes America worthy of sending the flower of our youth in harm's way - corporate "interests"? Do you regret that "legal person" corporations cannot be drafted into the military? I have an honorable discharge and DD-214. Do you? Or, are you of the Dick "I had other priorities" Cheney "chicken hawk" persuasion? Investigate Fulgencio Batista to start exploring U.S. Cuban intervention.

  • @dwsingrs :Capitalism is to be credited. that is why are a free nation and a superpower. all you leftists are all alike, like drones who speak the same ol shit over and over. BORING. Got an honorable discharge and DD214 as well, and damned well proud of it. Cheney, LOL Wtf has that got to do with this video or comment? Jeez, you libturd whacks are like soicopaths.....just cannot let go. quite amusing really. and sad too.

  • @usaeagle1776

    Bravo Sir; you are to be commended on your skillful use of scatological Anglo-Saxon nouns and adjectives. In a speech at the U.S. Capitol, Senator William Henry Seward of NY, Lincoln's soon-to-be Sec. of State, made a speech with the goal of trying to patch things up with the slave states. In an effort not to offend the delicate sensibilities of slave states, he referred to the slave states as the [human] "capital" states, and to the non-slave states as the "labor" states.

  • @dwsingrs :Bravo sir in pointing out your limited knowledge of the Civil War. Which we have moved on from and made great progress. No other country has done in 234 years what we have done, in Eygpt a country more then 5000 years old, not once has it's people been free. I will take this country over any third world shithole any day. How about you?

  • @usaeagle1776 Sir, however much I may know about a given topic, the more I learn, the less I know. I.e., I know that I don't know. I continue to learn how little I know. But I strive to learn. Some don't know - or care - that they don't know. (Why did slave states have a problem with, and demand a change to, the original design of the Statue of Freedom on top of the U.S. capitol dome?) 1776 was a good start (for white males). Doesn't mean we cover up the chinks in our national armor.

  • @dwsingrs who is covering it up? we have people like you, and Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson to remind us EVERY day.

  • @dwsingrs You idiot, the Consititution has evolved - we didn't disband the entire country, we've changed our laws and the constitution to right certain wrongs, blaming the original document makes no sensebut it's still the best one written by any country.

  • @zzremington I'm an "idiot" you say. Thank you for your kind Christian comment, the apotheosis of congeniality.

  • @dwsingrs Where did I say I was a Christian? You pick something out of a document that was written over 200 years ago and was justifiably thrown out - acting like it's still written in it.

  • One of the greatest shows ever on tv. sure miss these types of shows. they would never survive today sadly.

  • what a great show. even though the cast was liberal, back then being libeal didnt mean hating your country, your military, your constitution. Different times back then. by 1970, liberals became what they are today. sickening.

  • @usaeagle1776 What the fuck did you just say?

  • @TheUncleRyRy I didnt "say" it. I wrote it. cant you read?

  • @usaeagle1776 Excuse me, as if the grammatical formalities changed the absurdity of your post. Oh, but do tell how your commentary on the matter escapes you from writing out, "can't" or "can not," as the rest of us. 

  • @TheUncleRyRy :excuse me, as if people who use text on phones or on youtube or really looking for losers who have nothing else to do but to try and correct grammer on the new media. are you serious? boy, you really are a loser with nothing else to do I guess huh?. YOU contacted me BOY, so if you want to debate about my comment or this video, more then happy to do so. pathetic. If you want to debate "grammar" go elsewhere.

  • @usaeagle1776 I just asked you to remove your dialect from simple soundbites fueled to you by your masters and please expand upon. That's it. From that you espouse a large paragraph of dribble to thing I give two fucks about your grammar? So, please do expound upon your deeply intellectual point. Oh, and iudbfiubifubsiuef.

  • @TheUncleRyRy well, from a leftist snob asshole speaking atop his soapbox, just another comment filled with dribble and nonsense. once you get your head out of your liberal ass get back with me. if comments on youtube that are not "Grammar" perfect bother you to such an extent, then your on the wrong site boy.

  • @usaeagle1776 I don't get it, Captain America. Either explain your simple and ridiculous comment, or go fuck your self in your psuedoconservative Glenn Beck outfit.

  • @TheUncleRyRy : Sorry you dont get it Comrade Stalin. Go fuck yourself in your psuedolibturd Obumbles outfit.

  • @usaeagle1776 So lemme get this straight, Left goes straight to Lenism, the socialists should claim Obama, and you still can not prove your point, exercised in simple conversation because....... what?

  • @TheUncleRyRy "Socialism always leads to Communism." Lenin. Sure you know him right?

  • @usaeagle1776 "Democracy is the road to socialism" Marx. So what about that? Obama is not a socialist. A socialist would not have allowed the corporatism to continue. I am not a leftist, you keep repeating that because you're so defensive. I have said nothing to make you think that.

  • @TheUncleRyRy only if those want marxism. which is as Walter Kronkite, very much a liberal said:"communism failed because it goes against the laws of man." Obumbles is a socialist. I find it amusing how blind people are to that. but never blind for example to Palin or others they HATE. he is a re-distributionist radical progressive liberal. Besides, Obumbles said: "there comes a time when you have a made enough money." LOL no conservative would EVER say that. he is a socialist, thru and thru.

  • @usaeagle1776 You're citing talking heads of the business press and not really ideologically consistent. A conservative did say that, Nixon. He was a Keynesian, a model that is not socialism. You speak in silly talking points, don't give hem credit by saying he has some sort of ideology. Let me guess, you're a birther too, right?

  • @TheUncleRyRy : Obumbles is a socialist. And no, I am not a birther, never have been. let me guess, your a truther right?

  • @usaeagle1776 9/11 truther? Fuck no. I'm a sound money libertarian, a student of Austrian Economics, a non interventionists. I don't think you understand your critiques, which are illegitimate and hurting (somewhat ehhh) our side of this debate. 

  • @TheUncleRyRy : Really? well, your comments have been halting and incomphrehensible. your hurl insults, what do you expect? "your a birther too." like wtf is that bullshit?

  • @usaeagle1776 You sound surprised? It's the brainwashed mentality modern conservatives have. It's ok, FAUX news will be on for a while

  • @TheUncleRyR: hmm, you sound just like a snobbish liberal who has a superiorty complex that is typical of your breed. Libertarian huh? hmmm I doubt it. But dont worry, PMSNBC will be on for awhile.

  • @usaeagle1776 -sigh- Open your eyes man. I'm done with this convo. 

  • @TheUncleRyRy eyes always open. and what conversation are you implying? there never was one.

  • BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH­AHHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH­!

    we love ya barney.

  • I can't get over how much he looks like Mick Jagger

  • this is so weird,because i did the same thing in 5th grade!lol! bless my teacher for helping me out ,like andy did for barn!

  • Absolute classic!! Really, does comedy get any better then this?!

  • ...a more perfect u......a more perfect u..........nyun.....NYUN! Gotta love Barney. The most hilarious character of all time done by a master comedian. RIP, Mr. Knotts.

  • ...'in order to form a more perfect you!' Knotts was wonderful!

  • Oh lord, Barney was hilarious! I think I've seen every episode at least 10 times!

  • If School House Rock had been around then, he would have known it. When I had to memorize it in school way back when you could see everybody in class bobbing their heads and hear them humming the School House Rock tune during the test. :)

  • @mamamurray I can't believe you said that because I was thinking the same thing...lol!

  • I wish someone would post the one where Barney does the Emancipation Proclamation.

  • this stuff is way better than the junk they show today

  • Yeah, it's strange without the laugh track. 

  • Where is the laugh track?

  • The delegates who attended the Constitutional Convention spent much of their time getting drunk. One surviving document is a bill for a party on September 15, 1787, two days before the signing of the Constitution. Items on the bill were: 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret, 8 bottles of whiskey, 8 bottles of cider, 12 bottles of beer, and 7 bowls of alcoholic punch, all for 55 people.

  • Where's the laugh track? Not that I miss it, but where did you get this footage that doesn't include the laugh track?

  • we the! we the!

  • WHO DOESN'T LIKE BARNEY FIFE (DON KNOTTS)!!??

  • Now THIS is comedy!

  • I heard that sometimes Don Knotts would be so funny when they were filming that Andy would laugh so hard that he would run all the way across the set. Notice how sometimes in a scene where Barney is doing something funny, Andy has his hand over his mouth ( to keep from laughing ). I wish I could see outtakes of this show.

  • co za asy

    

  • WILL YOU STOP THAT DUMB SHIT

  • Everyone, Look when Barney says the word "Justice" , his hair is perfectly combed

  • Funniest episode! 

  • Love the squeaky chair :)

  • Love the squeaky chair :)

  • i can bet money my old man has seen this a freeking thousand times easy lol .good ole stuff.thats me if i was in collage.lol

  • i can bet money my old man has seen this a freeking thousand times easy lol .good ole stuff.

  • I love this episode !!!!!! :)

  • I remember it from Schoolhouse Rock. Although I had to learn to put the "of the United States" bit in later. Still remember the tune too.

  • @DrCruel know that this is a legal common law trust document binding every elected official by sworn oath to protect your individual rights and liberties,and the replacement of even one word has impact.There is a reason you were told to switch from FOR to OF. Now its up to you to find out why this is so. Your freedom depends on knowing. Peace.

  • Kind of reminds me of BLOWBAMA

  • even though don knotts/barney fife is gone he still makes us laugh.thanks for the memorys and laughter

  • @security381 "thanks for the memories and laughter" Wow. You spend your time going to videos of people remembering their dead relatives or dead children, and you say comments like "your dead baby is rotting in hell sucking satans cock" and then you come on here and right this faggy bullshit about don knotts? What in the fuck is wrong with you dude? Are you mentally fucking retarded? The sad thing is you are probably a grown man saying all this shit, go bite a bullet you pathetic cocksucker.

  • Learned this by heart in the 4th grade and still can recite it today....Good Catholic school education. I have asked co-workers if they can recite the preamble, and most just say..."whats that"....sad state of affairs.

  • @califgirl11 haha I can remember it from Catholic School too

  • barney was the best , by the way check out building # 7 911 it will blow your mind , and it will show you that we live with bush and his lies please check it out and make up your own minds its f'n scary , liars

  • This reminds me of Republicans who can't count past the 2nd Amendment.

  • Sounds like the democrats attempts to discuss the constitution. " to long didn't read it, doesn't really apply to day anyway"...

  • Watched this in class today!

  • lmfao! this is me trying to study for a test.

  • They don't make shows like that nowadays

  • @lizardsy You can say that again!

  • Looks like Barney Fife is imitating Progressives!!

  • "we the people of the united..."

    *points*

    "flag? breeze. wind. wave. Stars!"

    "STATES"

    "STATES!"

    favorite part.

  • This is classic and hilarious, but where is the laugh track??

  • That is good stuff. Whenever I get a chance to see the riot of hair under all that brilliantine, I find that I can face just about anything.

    Barney seemed to make everything in life look so easy.

  • That has got to be the funniest show of all time. I am 50 yrs old and always will have a good laugh no matter how many times I see it. What a classic !!!!!

  • It was funny until you put the birth and death years up. Debby Downer.

  • watch this video in class. it was funny ;P

  • Barney Fife look like the security guard from Half Life

    Valve actually named him Barney, due to the fans pointing out the resemblance

  • The whole republican / democrat two party system is crap... Vote Libertarian !!!

  • ROFL! Republican idiots!

    

  • @NotSoOldHippy Democartic JackAss

  • @NotSoOldHippy Don Knotts was actually pretty Liberal, so saying that is very pointless. I actually remember the Preamble to the Constitution and most of the Amendments, I'm not racist or homophobic, I believe in equal opportunities, I'm a staunch Conservative Republican and I'm not even out of high school yet!

  • @handinhandtogether you are staunch ??? you need to stay in High School for another 8 years

  • @Velvet4U I don't know if you're chastising what you think is a made-up word (I can assure you it's not), or the fact that I'm a Conservative. Either way, it makes you look pretty bad.

  • "to form a more perfect u!"

    "nion!"

    "nion! union! in order to form a more perfect union...."

    LMAO

  • barney Fife can be soooo funny!

  • That's Knotts funny

  • Nip it! Nip it in the bud!!

  • Hey, it's the next Republican nominee for the Supreme Court.

  • @delamitri100 Republican nominees for the court are very intelligent people. Clearance Thomas, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, John Roberts, Sam Alito, John Paul Stevens, David Souter, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg all understand law and the Constitution. They just interpret differently than you.

  • @bmf1706 Hey, are you saying that Barney Fife isn't intelligent?!
