My Dad was a driving instructor, he knew this piece by heart. He killed it every time he did it, blessed with actual experience. Dad also did a good job of Ray Stevens' "The Day I Tried To Teach Charlene McKenzie How To Drive". R.I.P. Dad, and Bob

My Grandad introduced me to this when I was barely in double digits. I recognised the voice but not the name since I was so young. He was howling with laughter but I didn’t really get it at the time. But I still remembered the clip when I actually started driving. This is how comedy is actually made through the genius of description and implied situation. An absolute classic.🙌🏽

This is a sexist post ! 😦

First time I heard this was in driver's ed in high school in the eighties. Huge respect to our teacher who knew quality humor! RIP to an amazing comedian.

Listened to this with my friend Larry, his brother Darryl, and his other brother Darryl. RIP legend

thankyou bob for great memorys rip

Listened to this several years ago, and my father made my son listen to this when he started his lessons. When my son passed his test last year, we listened again to this and remembered my dad. Such a funny man. Rest in peace.

Bob Newhart represents so much of our mid century American culture. I am sad he is gone, but his sardonic humor will live on! Rest in peace Bob! Condolences to the Newhart family.

I haven't heard this skit from Bob Newhart in a very long time. Still hilarious! My Dad had some of his records. RIP BOB! You're probably already cracking 'em up upstairs!

Favorite comedian of my mom and dad. This album is still in my dad's collection at my mom's house. Still love his dry humor. Listening this morning brings back so many memories.❤😂

This was a staple of high school driver's ed classes everywhere, including my own...

The don. RIP.

I remember my dad having a Bob newhart cassette in his car,as a youngster many years ago I laughed..still laughing now brilliant

So so funny ...

RIP Bob Newhart one of the most unlikely but funniest men I have ever seen. Just found and dusted off my revered copy of "The Best of Bob Newhart!" and enjoying it all over again.

My favourite all time.

Comedic genius. RIP Bob.❤️❤️❤️❤️

A true comic genius who will be missed.

I saw him on tv when I was 15. Went out the next day and bought his LP The Button down Mind of Bob Newhart. I'm 78 now and I can still quote lines from the driving instructor to this day. RIP Bob, you made me laugh for over 60 years.

Rest In Peace Mr. Bob Newhart! I trust that you're in Heaven still teaching our Mom, Dorothy Webb how to drive just as you did in the mid 1960's when you first tried. :-D

My dad loved this sketch. I played it for him and laughed so hard he cried. One of my fondest memories of my dad at the end

rip bob

As a teenager, I remember listening to his Driving School Instructor routine on an LP (record player). We laughed till we cried. He was so funny!! I’m sad to know he’s gone.

50 years of Mr Newhart in my life, since a new bride at 19, listening to his album my ex had. I watched every show he was in. May you rest in sweet peace, sir, and thank you for the many laughs.

Rest in Peace Bob Newhart.

Loved his timing...not in a hurry to get to any part of the joke, no matter how absurd it is.

my fave from a wonderful comedian. RIP BOB

RIP Bob ❤ thanks for the laughs!

RIP Bob Newhart

Rest in peace, legend ❤

Love this, this is the first time I’ve heard the skit. My husband told me about it. Perfect timing ❤ #ripbobnewhart

RIP Bob…. You were a genius.

The sad passing of a legend 😊❤️

RIP the great Bob Newhart😢

Bob had a little bit of success through the years. A Grammy of the Year in the 60s, very successful series in the 70s, another very successful series in the 80s, a successful (but not near the level of the first 2, but it lasted 2 years) series in the 90s, a well known role in Elf in the 00s and a recurring role on Big Bang Theory in the 10s. And those are just the highlights, there was much more.

My heart is aching - RIP Bob Newhart

Absolutely a comedic genius! Rest in peace, sir!

Comic genius 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Listened to this tonight. First time in 40 years. I loved it then and it's still perfect. I remembered almost every line. Bob Newhart died today. He was 94. Rest in peace.

My dad introduced him to me when I was about 8 years old and I do still have the original lp! Wow the goons and bob newheart and Monty python! All hero’s of modern comedy!

RIP to a funny man

RIP Bob.
