I'm an orphan, okay? Are you happy?

Here's a later episode of Different Strokes wherein Willis mentors Sam to resolve his differences through talking rather than fist fighting. So Sam tries his best, with Willis looking on, but slowly it devolves into chaos. That's when it comes out that the mean kid has a good reason for being an ass: he's an orphan. Boo hoo.

My fascination with this clip is the way they close it...the audience applauds. That's old school sitcom, people. 70s and 80s sitcom audiences threw applause at commercial breaks, even when it was incredibly awkward. Here, it seems as though the audience is applauding the fact that the kid is an orphan. I love old time entertainment.
