I show this video to any fan of Mayberry that I come across. Good to know there are some like you using your twisted mind for the sake of good. Too funny!

Great video. I love the Andy Griffith Show and all the characters. Howard McNear was a wonderful actor. and did a great job with Floyd the barber. He also played "Andy the barber" in a "Leave It To Beaver" episode. The episode where Ward yells at Wally for using his razor.

Love it, the Real, "Pink Floyd!"

rem2267 said it all, but I'll say some more ;-B. With all due respect, it's a real shame this otherwise exceptional piece is spoiled by the one line about the stroke. Tastelessness aside, you violated the "fourth wall"--the rest of the lyrics and video stayed within the limits of spoofing the Mayberry characters, and this real-world reference yanked me right out of the moment.

Wow.
This is so far above most of the youtube videos. I am saving as a favorite and subscribing!!
McNear was a wonderful actor and did more with less lines than anyone i ever saw.

"With Otis Goober and Gomer Pyle..."
With that change... brilliance!
ALMOST Fantastic! I love the show and the character, but I thought that the part where you said that he had to sit down b/c he had a stroke was really tasteless.
Also, it sounded like you called Otis 'Emmet.' (could be me, though, although I played it twice)
If you can find it in your heart to take out the part about the stroke, I'd give it a thumbs up. Otherwise, I liked it very much.

“We sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended by our attempt at humor regarding the health of Howard McNear" --Gilbert Gottfried
We also commend anyone who managed to notice that, while we recorded the song with the name 'Emmet' in the lyrics, we could only find a clip of 'Otis.' It turns out our research was flawed (albeit nonexistent); "Emmet' did not appear on the Andy Griffith Show until after Floyd had left.
