You could afford it if you asked for a penny each time. It wasn't so much the hokey camp that got me turned off the series, it was just the whole low-IQ approach. Dick was portrayed as kind of stupid, and the plots were kind of thin. Even for a comic series. Batman had so much more depth to him (that sadly didn't exist a whole lot in the 1950s through the 1970s).
Hey I never put my dad through that but I did torture my poor piano teacher by either mispronouncing piano or playing the wrong note ( the 1st was intentional the bad notes not so much I was just bad at playing it)
Dick plays a tuba right next to Bruce, He plays drum set right next to Bruce. Dick plays piano next to Aunt Harriet. Alfred gives Bruce aspirin behind their backs.
When Dick was playing the drum set, Alfred accidently called him " Master Robin". " Bruce stopped him from playing by saying " Cool it, Ringo". The drummer from The Beatles.
I understand the joke but he was using the piccolo to produce the exact frequencies needed to lead the mice (loaded with bombs) into the river, otherwise Gotham would've been destroyed at the hands of the corrupt new police commissioner
Actually it was because the only reason Adam West was cast as Batman was because he was the only one that could deliver the lines with a straight face and not start laughing. xD
When I was ten, I loved this show and took it seriously; there was a period when I watched two episodes in a row, every weekday after school. When I was eighteen and a half, I happened to see pieces of episodes a few times on TV-and I groaned and didn't understand how my ten-year-old self hadn't seen how bad it was. Now, I'm forty-three and watching these clips on UA-cam and appreciating the series in an entirely new way.
Alfred cleans up and puts Dick"s stuff in storage after he moves out Bruce walks in Bruce: it hasn't been this quiet in here in years ( looks at all the Loud instruments,) Alfred: indeed sir I forgot what quiet is since Master Dick moved out it's incredible how little noise there is I sort of miss the noise
The Pied Piper gimmick at the end had me laughing, although I could see why the ratings began to slip in that season because obviously it's not for everyone
Love how Dick brings the sousaphone with him when Bruce goes to answer the batphone. The only thing that would have made it more hilarious is if he stood there playing it while Bruce was trying to talk to the Commissioner. I can see it now: Gordon: Batman?! Batman are you there?! Bruce: (Yelling) Yes Commissioner, I'm here! Gordon: What's that strange noise I'm hearing?! Bruce: Forgive me Commissioner, Robin is practicing his sousaphone!
The room is Bruce Wayne's private study, so Aunt Harriet was never allowed inside. So Dick's secret ID is secure. " I'm terribly sorry master Bruce, ....eh , slip up of sorts." "Ok, Alfred , just try not to do it in front of Aunt Harriet, or our cover is blown". "Sorry as well, master Robin, Oh, HELL, Dick."
I remember watching the ep with Dick drumming in it (honestly I forgot which episode it's from, I think it's from the first Londinium ep), and I found it extremely odd when Alfred called him "Master Robin"
Well, they are in the room with the bat-phone, so no meed to hide identities. What I don´t understand is how they manage for Aunt Harriet never to step into that room!
Alan Napier played Alfred, he just probably goofed his lines, and the film editor missed it. Dick's drum roll was probably a 10th take as well, so they kept the scene.
@@TheLatiosnlatias02 Ah-HA!!! That's IT!!! So Lara Croft is Batman!!! It all makes sense now...we all THINK Batman is a male, because that's what he WANTS us to think!! Because no one would ever suspect Bat-MAN of being a woman in her secret identity! Clever, indeed!!
They were supposed to be robots with tiny high powered explosives in them. Regarded as the worst episode in the series; especially due to the horrible dock set.
@@MagicAl5F4781 precisely, Robin!

Adam West is the only Batman that is actually a good father.
The 1990s cartoon was decent in that category as was the 2000s " the batman"
And he'd make a good school teacher.
If you call good fatherhood/guardianship never letting a kid learn anything for himself because you're always jumping in with the right answer before the question is even asked.
Dick's not Batman's son. He's his sidekick/youthful ward

Dr. : Mr Wayne your steady hearing loss can't be genetic

Gosh, Catholic Conservative, you’re right.
This whole video is a lovely compilation of Bruce experiencing the tortuous joys of fatherhood. XD
Hey I never put my dad through that but I did torture my poor piano teacher by either mispronouncing piano or playing the wrong note ( the 1st was intentional the bad notes not so much I was just bad at playing it)
1:05 What cracks me up is how Dick is playing right beside Bruce📯🎶😄
I know I'd be suggesting doing that not next to me
Dick plays a tuba right next to Bruce,
He plays drum set right next to Bruce.
Dick plays piano next to Aunt Harriet.
Alfred gives Bruce aspirin behind their backs.
@@johnbockelie3899 better be strong :)
Dick Grayson has good taste in music at least in the comics... I never saw him play an instrument though so this is hilarious.
In the comics they'd probably make him good at the instruments it's funnier if he's not good at them
He's played the guitar a lot! He sings too, I believe.
"Gosh, Bruce, it's like trying to get away from an octopus." Add-libbed, I would guess.
When Dick was playing the drum set, Alfred accidently called him " Master Robin". " Bruce stopped him from playing by saying " Cool it, Ringo". The drummer from The Beatles.

I started laughing at the tuba 😂😂😂
A perfect fit going down to the bat cave. I haven't a clue where Dick/Robin would put the tuba when it comes to band practice
Imagine if he couldn't get it off and just fell into the batcave all you hear is a yell then a tuba blast
It's a sousaphone.
Perfect tired Batdad
Alfred cleans up and puts Dick"s stuff in storage after he moves out Bruce walks in
Bruce: it hasn't been this quiet in here in years ( looks at all the Loud instruments,)
Alfred: indeed sir I forgot what quiet is since Master Dick moved out it's incredible how little noise there is I sort of miss the noise
I can't that wig😂😂!➡️1:59
Had me thinking of the "Om" song in Red Dwarf.
LOL. Also didn't Gilligan have a wig like that? 😆 And also, I think he was playing the drums too!
@2:04 Alfred called Dick "Robin". I wonder if that was an error, because they always referred to each other by whatever identity.
That caught me off guard too. I don't remember that ever happening.
I think that was a slip up. I notice that before...lol
It was OK since they were in the room with the Batphone.
My guess is because they were in the study which is an extension of the Batcave.
Yes, I'm sure that was one that slipped by everyone.
2:21: This whole scene, no narrator, no context.
Robin play piano good job gee wiz lots of goosebumps
Imagine Dick with an iPhone 11. “Gosh Bruce”.
Finds an annoying app thus annoying bruce
The Pied Piper gimmick at the end had me laughing, although I could see why the ratings began to slip in that season because obviously it's not for everyone
1:43 he turn the switch ON but the bat-pole entrance not opening 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good one. I missed that.
Kay this needs to happen in Titans now:
Something: *happens*
Beast Boy: Oh, that is so sad - Robin, play Despacito.
To the batpoles
Interesting screw up. Alfred addressed Dick as Master Robin
But no one else was in the room.
True
Yep, Bruce Wayne had to fire him soon after
@@valuecalc Doesn't matter. That was one that got past everyone.
robin shall be embarrassed
0:49 EXCUSE ME 😄 Too many baked beans
Even costumed crimefighters can play musical instruments at their own convenience.
You can see how much the budget for Batman had been cut to the bone when you look at the background paper sets they used in season 3 (02:40)
" Cool it , Ringo " reference to The Beatles. Also Alfred called Dick , Robin, obviously a mistake in his lines.
Bruce Wayne is so rich, instead of piano or tuba lessons, he could by Dick Grayson an entire orchestra.
Best comp video ever.
Give him a saxophone
triangle
That would've been good how about a violin ( playing it badly of course)
I love how there isn’t one iota of context through the whole thing
I’m s c r e a m i n g

Bruce is right about the importance of music.
O Dick Grayson Tocando: Piano, Tumba E Bateria 😁
Holy Fake Background Batman. That set with the mice was horrible
Dick kinda sounds like Richie from Happy days
Isn't it ironic that Robin/Dick Grayson is Batman/Bruce Wayne's Ward and he's played by guy named Burt "Ward". Also what is a ward?
Ward(In this sense): a person who is placed under the protection of a legal guardian.
Its another word for adopted
Hospital room? I think it means to protect or defend; 'they warded off the invaders'.
In this case it's adopted.
The room is Bruce Wayne's private study, so Aunt Harriet was never allowed inside. So Dick's secret ID is secure. " I'm terribly sorry master Bruce, ....eh , slip up of sorts."
"Ok, Alfred , just try not to do it in front of Aunt Harriet, or our cover is blown".
"Sorry as well, master Robin, Oh, HELL, Dick."
Dick on the drums, combined with that hair, is one of the funniest things I've ever seen
I had the biggest crush on Robin 😂
Me too
2:28 Batman, Robin and Bat-Girl taking up the role of the Pied Piper

I can't believe this show got to love Batman when I was little Gezzz
per the 1986 "The Dark Knight Returns" Graphic Novel, Gordon knew but kept his mouth shut
😂😂😂😂its so funny hahaha.
Adam West - still the best Batman ever. Why don’t any of the modern Batmans ever do the Batusi.
Holy souer note Batman
😊All time favorite
1:09 Better see a doctor about that.
1:52 I’m glad that Bruce and Dick’s names are on the bat poles. Otherwise, it would be disastrous if they slid down the wrong poles.
Note the passage of time, and the subtle indication of it. Dick has been practicing drums so long he needs a barber.
Aunt Harriett would've insisted he got it cut before it got that long
Yes Aunt Harriett very nice lol
COOL IT "RINGO" SAID BRUCE
They were practicing for the Bat cave concert with Bat girl and Cat woman
Chopin's E minor prelude. Rule #1 when playing a brass instrument: don't puff out your cheeks.
Cool It, Ringo
wtf did batman just commit mouse genocide?
The Mice were Robots.
RIP Adam’s ears
0:34 That's true!
Dude awesome playing Chopin in E minor
Oh snap! At 2:00, when Dick is clearly not wearing his costume, Alfred refers to him as "Master Robin." Glad Aunt Harriet wasn't around.
