You can see why Dan Fielding was the breakout character in this show. Even though he was portrayed as an egotistical creep, you couldn't help but like him. In fact, his character had a way of getting the audience to root for him to succeed, which most often he did not. Still, deep underneath he would still protect his friends when push came to shove.
I remember watching this episode for the first time, and nearly falling off my couch laughing. Night Court was one of THE funniest shows, hands down. Nothing out now even begins to compare to shows like this.
This is just one great example of Dan in a hurry. I still remember the one where he had to read a guy's criminal record in like one minute, and he pulled it off.
Dan's reactions in this show were almost always laugh out loud funny. John Larroquette played that character so well. He deserved the Emmys that he won, and probably could have won more, if he had not taken his name out for a couple years.
@It's My Life imo John, Michael J. Fox, Robert Guilliame, Michael Richards, Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce are all comic geniuses that actually deseve all the Emmys they won
John Larraquette himself called Dan Fielding "Creme de la Scum." The guy was a total sleazebucket, but always managed to be that perfect balance between charming elegance and bottom-dwelling creep.
That's because comedy writers (and actors like Larroquete ) in those days understood the comedy wasn't in the 'man with the condition'. But in other people's reactions to them. Nowadays, they couldn't do a scene like this without someone accusing them of mocking the disabled.
"It's....in...herited...." "Your honour, we'd like to call his father as a witness." "WHAT?!?!" **old man slowly leans from his seat and doffs his cap**
That's correct. 4 years in a row, asked to not be submitted for a 5th. The show was nominated for awards itself. The show was not underrated imo. :) It may be forgotten to today's generation however.
@@JoybuzzerX I do remember at the time it was, maybe not underrated critically, but definitely lived somewhat in the shadow of Cheers (which it followed at 9:30).
There is a documentary about Night Court and since the show is produced by Warner Bros, they actually were able to get away with it. There was also an episode where the Road Runner and Wile E Coyote were in court.
Laroquette is a legend... absolute genius in the scene. Also, the actor who plays the man with "tortoise nervosa" is amazing as well... I remember watching this when I was like 10 years old. Makes me feel like a kid again
I have to admit, I only tuned in for John, but the new Night Court episodes today seemed to have the majority of the formula for 90s-style comedy down. Definitely something I'll be watching, at least for a few episodes, to see if it continues.
John was so versatile in that he could convey so many emotions/reactions all with gestures and expressions without a word spoken. Hilarious seeing his patience quickly unravel with Mr. Tortoise going through his wallet.
0:22 is one of the best "Are you kidding me" expressions I've ever seen; not a lot of actors could pull off that look better then how it was written, but John is definitely one of them.
They just don't make shows like this anymore. I remember when it first aired and i died laughing. Jump ahead thirty plus years and it's still freaking hysterical!!!😂
Harry Anderson were one my favorite actors. Poor man. I'll be Damn. 65, I still consider that to still be young. He was so Damn funny and brought so much on the show. I heard Marsha Warfield were saying in her Facebook live video. That she didn't know or had no idea he was ill? Aw... poor Marsha. I'm not friends with her personally on FB. But I looked her named up and watched the live video on her page. Everybody loved Harry on the show and he'll be missed. Even, his co-stars John Larroquette (Dan Fielding) and Markie Post (Christine Sullivan) is loss for words.
@@cool4rocknroll Richard Moll must be happy. It seems he wasn't willing to do a reunion because some in Hollywood were not as nice as it appeared. Now, any reunion is impossible.
One of my all-time favorite comedies ever. This is one of my favorite episodes, and I am glad to see that it made it here. Remember watching this whole series when it originally aired. The look that Dan gets on his face when turtle guys walks in is fucking priceless. Also love the episodes with Sela Ward and Teri Hatcher.

Can't believe how the human brain holds on to useless info. I haven't seen this episode since it aired in the 80s and when the guy is searching for his card I instantly said out loud"Tortoise Nervosa!" Love this scene.
I had to see this again (after three decades) because I had a random thought about being up to date on all the latest cuss words. Then I was wondering if the T.N. actor was a comedian with a bit like that, or did commercials or character-actor shtick-work like the micro-machines guy.
As soon as I saw the title of this video “Night Court - C’mon, Speedy” the two words that immediately jumped to mind were Tortoise Nervosa. The brain is a fascinating thing.

John Larroquette Sr. is the actor John Larroquette's grandfather, but the other side of his family is native-borm Louisianan, so he is a mix. He was born and grew up in New Orleans.
“Say, Lightning. Where’s the fire?” Lol
And the fact he is wearing a turtleneck is subtle genius lol. This show is by far the funniest I have ever seen
😮All this time you know that never dawned on me! Thanks for pointing that out.
A green turtleneck actually.
@@ericdunn7352 I never noticed that! To me it was funniest when Dan called him 'Road Runner', and explained the charges.

Yup that was a throwback to Archie Bunker.

Oh the best!!!!
My favourite part
,"Your honour we would like to call his father as a witness" 😂😂😂

I can't help thinking that he would read Glen Quagmire of the family guy the riot act. Dan went for adult women and cared about consent.
Agreed but the whole cast as well as the writers were the best!
Larroquette was brilliant, no doubt about it.
The John Larroquette show was the best show on all of TV when it was on.
There was a Christmas episode where he did chew out a business man about his selfishness.
"Your honor, we'd like to call his father as a witness."

My favorite scene out of the entire series. Still makes me laugh after 34 years (Man, I'm old!)

John Larroquette was one of the best parts of the show. His character was supposed to be sleazy, yet he was still very likeable. I’ll bet he never thought that 30 years after the show ended, he would reprise the role of Dan Fielding in a revival of the show with hilarious consequences.
did you know John got several awards for his performance as Dan Fielding!

As I read this, i pictured the entire scene in my head! Night Court was 2 decades ahead of it's time, to this day I own every season a d every episode, and I do watch Night Court, Every Single day of my life
They don't make 'em like this anymore
And now Mac, too.☹
John Larroquette as Dan Fielding was just gorgeous, that fine New Orleans creole mix.
C Michaels I agree!! ❤
His voice could melt butter.
He is from that area, that's why he has that accent.
John Larroquette Sr. is the actor John Larroquette's grandfather, but the other side of his family is native-borm Louisianan, so he is a mix. He was born and grew up in New Orleans.
He must be from the 9th ward.
I love the way Christine tries to smack Dan to calm him down as he almost is about to strangle the tortoise guy.
I used to watch this show when I was in high school and I remember this episode. It's even funnier today than it was back then!
This show will always be hysterical 😂
Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The entire cast was great!!! I miss Night Court
come on speedy,MOVE IT!!!
Say Lightning, where's the fire?
OMG John is soooo funny! It's so obvious why he got all those Emmy awards for this role!
"Gee, I bet you know all the latest swear words."
"The state drops the charges"! Lmao
Ooooookkkkkkaaaayyyy?
He probably gets out of a lot of trouble that way.
I really wish they would put this on antenna TV or get TV any of the classic stations because it would be great to see this once again.
I just have to have the box set. I love every last episode!
Loved this scene as a child and it's still Lol hilarious
“Other pocket” The person in the back is trying so hard not to laugh.
I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself 😂😂😂😂😂👍
R.I.P. Harry Anderson/Judge Harold T. Stone
So this is where they get the Sloth from Zootopia from!
This has got to be one of the funniest scenes of all time. Absolutely HILARIOUS!
Night Court's seasons 3 - 6 were the best. Those episodes were so much fun.
I own a few seasons of *Night Court* on DVD, but not this one.
It had me in tears laughing...😂🤣🤣
I remember seeing this episode when it first aired. It has aged well.
