  • 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.

  • Great job! Thanks for all the hard work to keep Mayberry alive in our hearts!

  • 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.

  • A great video You deserve some kind of award

  • They even worked Thelma Lou into it! Brilliant!

  • 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!
