I ran into Mr. Haney (Pat Buttram) at a Whole Foods market in 1988 give or take a year. He couldn't have been nicer. He could not stop talking about Green Acres and even gave me a few good stories of Arnold Ziffle.
I enjoy watching retro TV stations nowadays. Those 50s and 60s shows sure are different as I watch them as an adult. Mr. Buttram shows up on so many of those shows. He almost always plays rural types. Great characters and writing.
Some of the things that cracked me up about Green Acres were Oliver's wearing three-piece suits to do farm work and the quality of work (like the masonry on their fireplace) the Monroe Brothers did. A classic moment was when Oliver tried to impress upon someone the quality of the house's construction. Declaring "That's solid oak!" he stamped his foot on the floor and crashed through it.
I knew people like Mr Haney growing up and stayed as far away from them as possible!!!! I never bought a truck or car from then either!!! They were fun to talk too...and I learned a lot...but you had to watch your back around them!!!!😊
@@luthermcgee3756 Yes Luther.. .really.. .check it out: "On September 9, 1942, Albert enlisted in the United States Coast Guard and was discharged in 1943 to accept an appointment as a lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the pilot of a Coast Guard landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire.[9]"
Their outdoor shower system is like what Betty Jo and Steve Eliot had at their cottage. Makes ya wonder how they got clean during winter. LOL. Glad I watched this new. It is still hilarious.
Mrs. Douglas every time I see you it reminds me of a speckled hen sitting in a little green wagon. OMG I am seriously laughing so hard I'm in tears. This show is priceless.
6:46 The Start of Comedy Genius😂That Hoyt Clagwell Tractor to me is one of the funniest characters on the show😂Just the slightest touch and that Amazing Tractor ALWAYS FALLS APART AND I LAUGH MY ASS OFF EVERY TIME😂Poor Mr. Douglas😂Hell that Tractor can't even pull a Tree Stump out of the ground,but poor Mr. Douglas can pull the Tree Stump out by hand,LMFAO this scene is so FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One episode had this classic give-n-take..... Douglas: How come every time I need something, you just happen to have it on your truck? Haney: Let's look at that another way. How come every time I have something on the truck, you happen to need it?
Yep .that's becoz he always deprives Mr.Douglas of what he needs .he sold a house but removed all furniture .he sold a farm with a Hoyt Clagwell thingamajigee . Alice ,eleanor, I bet they were in on it too ..he creates artificial demand and then provides supply . The biggest salesman of all salesman in the universe .I swear he would have even made money out of Joseph and Mary for the Nativity .. The only thing he didn't expect was there would be a bootleggers still in the basement ..
@@gingergranttech Haney also took over the phone company from Mr. Douglas, and then there was the water outages, that Haney would switch from one resident to another, leaving one resident totally without water.
I've never seen the early episodes of the show so it's really interesting to see the way Lisa is acting here in the first episode. Her voice and attitude are very very different. I always wondered why the theme song portrayed her as wanting to live in the city, but in the show she didn't seem to mind living on the farm, aside from wanting to visit New York every now and then.
I bet you that all car sale reps. and politicians from all parties must be trained and graduate from the must have "HANEY COURSE" before they interact with the public. Lol
There's been a lot of screwball characters in shows over the years but you have to put Mr. Haney right up near the top. He could sell snow to an Eskimo.
Oliver should have sent away for the biggest double wide trailer they could get and live in it while they Renovate his house. Apparently it took till they where elderly to get it done if you go by the show return to Green achers. They could have give the double wide to Ed and his wife when there house was done.
How do you get parts for a Hoyt-Clagwell tractor? Are they still in business? I remember that they were based in Fargo, North Dakota. It's no wonder Oliver Wendell Douglas thought he was in the Twilight Zone!
Holy schmoley. Duchess and Napoleon off from Disney's The Aristocats, as well as Miss Bianca and Luke off from Disney's The Rescuers are in this show because they are voiced by Eva Gabor and Pat Buttram.
KINGFISH taught Mr. Haney Phil Silvers AND THESE CAR SALESMAN. I love all three actors HATE car salesman. They're ALL the BEST SWINDLERS CON MEN LIARS AND MONEY MAKERS OFF GOOD PEOPLE I'VE SEEN. Love Amos and Andy and Green Acres Good clean fun both shows
I took the show far too seriously, as a kid, and I despised Mr. Haney. I felt like Mr. Douglas had the right idea, getting out of the city, and his wife and all the locals tormented him for no reason, or maybe because she didn't want to leave the city. The fact that she and the locals got along great and HE was the stuffy one made the show very frustrating to watch, but I couldn't NOT watch. They might have the magic pig on that episode! Watching as an adult, I now enjoy it on 2 levels, because I remember how I was as a boy, who didn't quite understand most of the humor in the situation. Now, I watch it and I think "He's rich. Why's he so upset? If he weren't such a stuffed shirt, he'd build a mansion for Mr. Haney and have him over to tell lies at dinner! "More potatoes, Mr. Haney? Have some more brisket." He'd be dead of heart disease in 5 years, stuffing himself at my place.
Green Acres was a made for TV series of Marx Bro's movies... Mr. Douglas as Groucho... Haney as Chico... Lisa as talking version of Harpo...with the rest of the cast taking turns using Marx Bro characters... maybe that's an over simplification but all the similarities are there... the Marx bro's depended on absurdity, misunderstanding, mispronunciation, play on words, frustration and unexplained jokes... Paul Henning and his writers used these techniques to a T in the Green Acres show... all the absurdities Mr. Douglas is continually faced with are all normal to the rest of the cast... the writers knew how to use "benign violation" to it's fullest extent.
Nah...Oliver was a flustered sad sack fish out of water who always got the short end of the stick. Groucho was a fast talking, slippery smart ass that didn't take shit from anyone.
@@hugginkiss1027 ... try rereading my comment... I said "similarities" and though Groucho dished it out more than Oliver, Groucho was also flustered by likes of Chico and Harpo in numerous scenes... and there's numerous times when Mr. Douglas gets his licks in. Watch the scene in "Day At The Races" (it's on you tube) where Chico slicks Groucho out of money for "racing tip" guide books and compare that to Mr. Haney trying to scalp Mr.Douglas every chance he gets
Does anyone else find it impossible to hear this guy talking without thinking about the Sheriff of Nottingham from Robin Hood or the dogs from the Aristocats?
They love their country here in Sierra Vista, Arizona . . . gives them money. Just waiting for America to send them a new greenhorn . . . (a little green behind the ears).

I didn't know that chain existed then. 😊
Eddie Albert. Thanks for the memories and service.
Mr Buttram standup skits were absolutely hilarious! In these shows, I really enjoyed his character.
Pat Buttram has the greatest southern accent ever
one of the best iconic timeless shows in the worlddddd
Every character in this is perfect. And the writing is too. It cracks me up every time.

Here are the best/funny scenes with Mr. Eustance Haney (played by Pat Buttram) from the 1965 TV show "Green Acres".
Pat Buttram, as Mr. Haney, The Salesman of All Salesman! Green Acres Role. R. I. P.
I knew people like Mr Haney growing up and stayed as far away from them as possible!!!! I never bought a truck or car from then either!!! They were fun to talk too...and I learned a lot...but you had to watch your back around them!!!!😊
Excellent 👍
Pat Buttram had such an adorable southern voice I've ever heard! Eva Gabor is so CUTE!! I know their voices through the Disney Classics.
Kentucky. And same business ethics, too!
Alison Heron Hruby Kentucky, he was from Alabama.
@@paullee7467 He said the Haney character was based entirely on Col. Tom Parker, Elvis Presley's manager...
Great stuff. Have always loved this show. Just learned that Mr. Haney was based on Colonel Tom Parker. A con man & shyster. Perfect.
Con man like Trump!!! 😅
@@mrflynn01 typical liberal, jerk off troll. Licking your chops to make some unrelated, unsolicited political reply.
Another brain dead dumbocrap with TDS!! He lives rent free in your empty skull 24/7!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I liked everyone from Green acres, especially Mr. Kimble who never seemed to make up his mind.
He was such a scatterbrain...well, not a scatterbrain...more like a LAME brain...no...more like a....I guess he WAS a scatterbrain! 😂
Eddie Albert was a real war hero in the Pacific during WW II.
Rob Mackenzie , really?
lloyd kline WOW! I never knew that a war hero could be so funny. Well one lives, one learns.

Alot of those veteran actors were also WW2 veterans
My FAVORITE TV show of ALL time!!!!!!!
I doubt that very much!!
It was good show, but even YOU gotta admit, the Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction were better!
Taking some Haney lessons!
@@kristabrewer9363 'Hillbillies', maybe, 'Petticoat', no. They were all sisters shows anyway, and each one was plenty funny.
@@obbor4 by far the better of the three
Very funny, very underrated, love mr haney, best part of the show
Mr Haney was always selling something or selling your own stuff back to you! Lol!
Mr Haney: We wuz just cleaning out the place! 😂
great show
Their outdoor shower system is like what Betty Jo and Steve Eliot had at their cottage. Makes ya wonder how they got clean during winter. LOL. Glad I watched this new. It is still hilarious.
Overlooked existential brilliance. Very funny actors too.
exactly! The characters except for poor Oliver Douglas are living in alternative universe
HANEY didnt miss a beat, ever....
I saw Pat Buttram in an episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. He played a farmer who’s only concerned about his money
Mrs. Douglas every time I see you it reminds me of a speckled hen sitting in a little green wagon. OMG I am seriously laughing so hard I'm in tears. This show is priceless.
that Haney could sale clothes to a nudist colony!!😂😂he's relentless!!

Mr Haney was the GREATEST!!!!!!
Best part of the green acres TV show mr haney
Whatever Mr Douglas needed at the time, Mr. Haney always conveniently had it.
One episode had this classic give-n-take.....
Douglas: How come every time I need something, you just happen to have it on your truck?
Haney: Let's look at that another way. How come every time I have something on the truck, you happen to need it?
@@christopherdunne7848 Yes, I remember that line. He was so much a part of that show. Their showing re-runs of it again on MeTV.

Haney's secret motto he keeps... ...A Sucker is born everyday.
I agree
In cash we trust ..lol
I love Mr. Haney. The original con man
seriously? You really liked that idiot?
Look thie

Best part of the show mr haney
...hey I wonder ......how come he didn't go to Beverly Hills and con the Clampetts out of big $$$$$
mr. haney was as shady as a politician, but way funnier
LOVE PAT BUTTRAM WITH ALL MY HEART AND ALWAYS WILL
Mr Haney was the Barney Fife of Green Acres.
Both were funniest part of the tv show
There's been a lot of screwball characters in shows over the years but you have to put Mr. Haney right up near the top. He could sell snow to an Eskimo.
He probably couldn't 'sell' it to them, but he'd find a way to charge them for it!!
Oliver should have sent away for the biggest double wide trailer they could get and live in it while they Renovate his house. Apparently it took till they where elderly to get it done if you go by the show return to Green achers. They could have give the double wide to Ed and his wife when there house was done.
Fixtures remain with the property unless otherwise spelled out in Special Provisions of the Agreement between the parties.
Hoyt-Clagwell tractor, a classic
When Pat Buttram walked in everyone's notebook came out. He'd give away $10,000 worth of material just over lunch.
That doctor's waiting room wall paper could be useful, and save a lot of money with less visits to the optometrist.
Mr Haney reminds me of a Texas car salesman.
God bless Mr. Haney!
Best part of the tv show
Pat buttram and Phil Silvers , both great con men.
and the Kingfish.
Exactly and both good actors
THAT Haney he sure had a way of selling things back to mr. Douglas
Yep, the good stuff. Now we have Walking Dead lol
And orange is the New Black
@@kennethbesselman5739 Trump is black.?
With all the times Mr. Haney took Mr. Douglas I am amazed Mr. Douglas never asked Mr. Haney if he had a shotgun in his truck for sale.
she's prettier than a speckeled hen sitting on a little green wagon........lol
Greg Egan that’s a red wagon, and it’s going up the hill....
good show
love green acres . they need more like this show...
Ticon.,p0w
All it said is I sold you a house, and that's what you got, a house.
Then Lisa goes back in the car; Oliver: Lisa, no!
i love mr. haney!!! his funny voice, ripping ppl off financially, getting on mr. douglas's nerves... !! LOL
Lol!
Mister Haney!! Yells OWD
i love the Haney bits
Marreeejuaanuuuhhh.....Seems like I heard Haney say this in one episode when I was a kid. I've been saying it that way (like Haney) for decades, lol.
How do you get parts for a Hoyt-Clagwell tractor? Are they still in business? I remember that they were based in Fargo, North Dakota. It's no wonder Oliver Wendell Douglas thought he was in the Twilight Zone!
The Mr. Haney character reminds me of one of my local politicians , and he always gets elected 🤔
Mr.Douglas- Mr. HANEY you sold me a defective tractor.
Mr. Haney- It's not a defective, it's a hought-klagwell.
pat buttram played the sheriff of Nottingham in disneys robin hood
JHATDRUMMER1976 , I especially liked him in the Alfred Hitchcock presentation, " The jar."
Do You mean animated one with animals playing the parts?
He also played Napoleon the bloodhound on Disney's Aristocats. 😁
I noticed Lisa is not as goofy in the early episodes. lol
That's true. Both Oliver and Lisa were fish-out-of-water when the show began. Lisa adapted much more quickly to her surroundings.
Holy schmoley. Duchess and Napoleon off from Disney's The Aristocats, as well as Miss Bianca and Luke off from Disney's The Rescuers are in this show because they are voiced by Eva Gabor and Pat Buttram.
Pat Buttram, Beastars Legoshi ancestor in Robin Hood 🐺🐺
Google pat buttram and listen to him roasting rich little.hilarious thanks for uploading these great videos.
A tractor that wheels keep coming off. Mr. Douglas got took as a sap multiple times from that Mr. Haney creature.
😂😂😂😂
KINGFISH taught Mr. Haney Phil Silvers AND THESE CAR SALESMAN. I love all three actors HATE car salesman. They're ALL the BEST SWINDLERS CON MEN LIARS AND MONEY MAKERS OFF GOOD PEOPLE I'VE SEEN.
Love Amos and Andy and Green Acres
Good clean fun both shows
I saw Mr Haney on Adam 12 last nite. He was a drunk guy directing traffic
Look it's Alex murdaugh!! "I see my boys 🧠 brains. Wah wah"

Admit it, as likable as Mr. Haney was, we wanted him to get sued.
i just saw the cow eposode the other night on tv
I love this show but what kinda lawyer was Oliver? He let Haney get away with too much
It's a comedy for crying out loud!
Comedy at it's best.
Mr. Haney hopes you enjoyed this video, and if you did, he wants you to know, THAT'LL BE TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS!
Talk about memories Back in the 60s Tv show
It's not worth $25
Do you have the one where Mr. Haney tries to sell someone a talking horse named "Mister Fred"?
IF YOUR GOING TO SAY IT SAY IT RIGHT. LOL TOOOOO FUNNY

It's just occurring to me how Ted Cruz has to be Mr. Haney's son.
And Grandpa Munster's grandson
Ted Cruz gives sanctimonious assholes a bad name.
"Illegitimate" son that is.
Allright everyone we get it, Haney sounds like Cruz, Cruz sounds like Haney, ha ha ha! Haney might sound like Cruz but he has the ethics of a Clinton.
Didn't you read your bill of sales? I did!!!
Mr.haney the real ted cruze. Look at the resemblance
i lived tru history,do i remember will i ever forget i hope not.
Mr Haney's voice sounds just like Senator John Kennedy (R) Judiciary Committee!
No Comments???? Thanks, Love it
In 7 years there might be some!
MISTER HANEY!...........
Sheriff of Nottingham lol! too funny
Legoshi ancestor. Legoshi's grandpa, not Gosha.
Lisa was not as dumb in the early episodes as she was later
Mr Haney reminds me of a white Don King
Poor me.Douglas! The rural inmates are running the ' asylum'!
Mr.
Does anyone else find it impossible to hear this guy talking without thinking about the Sheriff of Nottingham from Robin Hood or the dogs from the Aristocats?
Haney shoulda just said I just cleaned the place out 4 ya, 25 bucks,..?
Boy do I have a special deal for you Mr. Douglas. I can sell you a genuine du hickey device for over half price off.
😂😂😂😂
Eleanor or Arnold? Love em's both.
They love their country here in Sierra Vista, Arizona . . . gives them money. Just waiting for America to send them a new greenhorn . . . (a little green behind the ears).
The world's biggest and first cheap skate. Swindle and cheat and lie. He perfected it.
I actually know someone like the 2 characters hank n haney. Lol🗽😁
"actually"
That expensive $200 back for the day for a cow named Eleanor.
She gives Meadow Gold Milk
So,good
