Wow! My friends and I used to watch this all the time and talk about it on Monday at school. I had forgotten about a lot of the sketches. What a great cast! I wish they'd put it out on DVD like the SNL season sets. Thank for posting these!
They have a best of DVD set for Fridays and Tubi TV airs some episodes.
i realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream new series online?
@Ares Bowen i watch on FlixZone. Just search on google for it :)
@Lucca Francis yea, I've been using FlixZone for years myself =)
@Lucca Francis Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !
WOW!!! Had totally forgot about the pharmacist!!! Love it!!!
I was young but this show was AWESOME! miss it!!
this show was fucking awesome. THANKS for the uploads!
Fridays was a much
better comedy skit show than SNL in the early 80's...imho
Anyone remember the catch phrase "tAkeE A PiL" I think it was from this show and I think Michael Richards said it. There's a skit with Michael Richards in a roller rink roller skating and think her says it there?
I can handle it...I can handle it...wooo-ooo-ooooh
That was freakin brilliant
Thumbs up if you still say, "take a pill" in 2017.
take a pill!
Calvin Coolidge i don’t say it but i do take them regularly. Had such crush on Mark Blankfield back then!
I still say it in 2019! I will until the day I die! It's timeless.
With all those pills he popped and such I'm amazed he didn't die of an overdose.... LOL
Blankfield is hilarious!!!!
He would later interview KISS on the video release "KISS: EXPOSED."
He makes sounds when he inhales bwaahahahaa!
The pharmacist at walgreens looks like this guy but doesn't act like him... i refer to him as "Schedule 1"
This was the esipode when DEVO was the musical guest.
I became a fan ever since.
My favorite song: Be Stiff
brilliant
04:24 - best rant of the bunch. Got rather on the nose for the age of prescription drug commercials 24-7 (for the US - one of the only countries that allows them).
I liked Fridays better than SNL.
Did anybody else come here because the stories of Ronny Jackson reminded you of this character?
He pharmacist
Drugs he hit but most importantly
He can handle it
This pharmacist is so out of his skull I don't know how he still has any customers in his store, or why people care to try to deal with him. I wouldn't know how to deal with such a dopehead.
LOL (forgot to add that at the end of the first post)
I used to think that skit was funny back in the day but tonight seeing it for the first time I don't think so
Police Academy dude @ 5:55 watch out , he'll run you over..
What was the original broadcast date of this episode? I think it was the same night that The Plasmatics appeared as I was at that taping and this particular sketch seems very vivid. Then again, that was so long ago, everything is now a blur, which pretty much negates the vivid statement. Case in point, I still mistake Michael Richards as playing this character.
My mistake. must've been the night DEVO played.
@@renezambrano5787 oo good show that one. (of course it was - note the hats in the audience XD)
Still hilarious.
I grew up on that. It's probably why I am okay.
I watched this and the movie Jekyll and Hyde Together Again.....10 yrs old......now i know why you don't let kids watch adult movies.....
Has this guy ever actually done any drugs?
this guy seems to try to act like martin short . unlike short there is not much verbal wit . just histrionics
This is one of the funny skits.
Fridays was notoriously bad. The skits were poorly written, excessively long and without a point. The skits were trying hard to be edgy with the the then post disco era drug culture. The most memorable part of the series were the musical segments. Fridays came along at a time during the early 1980s when the west coast was seeing a lot of new music. The rise of the New Wave genre was happening. The musical segments should have been their own separate program. I remember The Pretenders, The Busboys and Devo had good performances, just to name a few. Devo had their national TV debut on Fridays. Virtually all of the cast were mediocre at best. A few had so, so careers away from the show, but generally they were forgettable personalities. The only memorable talents that went on to make it big were Michael Richards, of Seinfeld fame and Larry David of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Devo was on SNL in 1978.
This sketch was...kinda funny. Watching it now, it seemed a little aimless and makes me wonder if this sketch was mostly improvised w/ Blankfield doing most of the heavy lifting.
you are correct !
