- I've found out about this episode from the "i'm retarded?" meme. I just want to bring light to the episode and expose it as more than just that meme. Yea, I agree that some of the music choices really mess up some scenes to the point of making it memeable and not very effective.

2:17 that was clearly the lady’s fault
Fuck that bitch
Yeah thats the whole point of the episode. People using the "retard" to excuse their own mistakes, or people just assuming he is doing something wrong for no reason.
Usually for mentally challenged people its the edge of others that makes them the way they are. Nervouse,clumsy,scared,submissive
it's partly her fault, but you can't deny he held the plate wrong
@@CodyRobertEly Go ahead, explain what she did wrong to deserve being called a bitch?
That woman is the only reason the plate broke. No one can tell me otherwise
Yup, but once someone gets designated as the “whipping boy” in a family or social circle, it doesn’t matter what that person does or what they do, if somehow gets blamed on them. It’s a vicious circle
She was so unwilling to make any accommodations. To bad she didn't understand that mental issues run in families. What would she have done if her own child had problems ? I had a cousin with issues but he was the kindest person you could ever known. Young children loved him .
@Michael Trettin lmfaaaoo this is so accurate for people who act like this, like it's an object people objects eventually break or become useless all the time 💁♀️ write in a journal if your so afraid of not remembering good memories without constant reminders
Agreed, she opened that door irresponsibly.
@@freshvesh2751 luckily he didnt get hit with a stick
I came from the meme but god damn,I haven't seen an episode of this in my life but I can already tell it has a lot of passion and heart behind it writing wise
same
This is one of the best shows of all time. He even leaps into his own history. The part where he sings Imagine to his sister to prove he's from the future is maybe the best scene of all.
I could already tell from the meme - that’s why I looked this up
"I'm retarded" and then you learn what it might be like to have a disability and how it would be to live that life. It just might change how you treat anyone.
There are some shows that are a waste of time, but then they have their moments.

Came for the meme, stayed for empathy.
2:50 damn kinda hits different. Came for the memes left with the feels
All memes aside this is actually a really great scene
Right? For a show that debuted in 89, man they hit some serious topics and challenged people to think.
@@thJune jokes on you, I can't think.
Really an episode more about existential horror imo. Imagine living your day to day life, exactly like you are now. You hate all the little mistakes you make, but it's only normal. And one day, you find out you're just a broken version of everyone else, and you had no way of telling. Think of how horrifying that would be. And the worst part is, you don't even know if it's true for you right now or not.
I mean
speak for yourself :D
but i do know.
Sometimes i feel like i'm retarded and i'm the only one who doesn't know it yet.
Mentally and physically challenged people are not broken!
Wow. I thought this was just insensitive meme but taken in context, it really makes you think about the life some people have.
Most people who post insensitive memes are pretty well read, just jaded, individuals. Mostly from ignorance or lack of understanding from others.
Yep, fools draw conclusions without any information.
@@killertrip10 or maybe they just thought it was funny cause it's a joke
@@killertrip10 *sniffs own farts*
@@TheyCallMeSpin I'll dial the wrong number, just to hope a conversation starts.
This is one of my all time favourite episodes, this show was groundbreaking, and they knew they had a responsibility to tackle major issues, imagine how ignorant people would have been about disability awareness in 1964, when this episode "Jimmy" is set, sam and al are up against some serious ignorance and prejudice, and they save him
@@jankocbek85 Not all people are born into the same Family mate.
@@jankocbek85 "someone I know got lucky so everyone gets lucky!" Do you tell yourself that about child soldiers in Africa?
I've just heard of this show in passing until a meme brought me here, but this must have been the Black Mirror of it's time.
Not at all, a majority of people in the west treated disabled peeps with not only the same but, even a little more respect than they'd give eachother.
But, this was and is a morality showcase and I think it'll find audiences beyond our generation.
That's why they worked hard trying to understand our needs, trying to build the social networks...... and failed miserably what with all the injured kids running around with fire arms these days... The key is TREAT US LIKE FUCKING HUMAN BEINGS.
Dean Stockwell brings it. This is an example of why this show ruled. It showed human moments and asked questions that made Quantum Leap one of the greatest shows of all time.
Rip Dean Stockwell
As much as I hated the idea of it; as much as I hated their concept of the way history "should have" gone... it was moments like this one that kept me watching.
Al's dialogue at the end (where he asks what sixteen-year-old dies of pneumonia) is compelling. Maybe it's just me, but I feel there's an implication that she died from neglect, or that the people there otherwise did something that led to her death (either accidentally or not) and tried to cover it up. Also, that "My Grandmother's Platter!" woman was a jerk. She knew the poor guy was a klutz, but made him work with the plates anyway, and THEN got angry with him when he dropped something. ~shakes head~
This scene is why I hated seeing him in the Langoliers. Clearly, the man can fucking act and put his emotion into it when he's given the right direction. This scene still makes me tear up a little and I loved how when he started talking it was coming off like another story of one of his many conquests until he explained who she was to him and I think any of us can understand what it's like being in a family and watching a sibling get bullied.
@Frozen Retro ! Agreed, though like I think I said before I love his acting in this scene and Langolieras his acting was so bad...
Right, I think of it the same way. There was an implication of neglect.
Yeah but what about the guy who said he was scratching his carhe was just leaning on it is car paint really that fragile back then
@@mitchmineshafter I'm guessing his ego was a lot more fragile than his car paint.
Nothing tears a family apart faster than a charming encyclopedia salesman!
Ironically, Al calls him "stupid." Hypocritical to use such language given the circumstances.
Came though my town when I was younger
The way Al spoke about his sister is the love a brother has for any of his siblings. Siblings fight and disagree on many things. Yet the bond many develop carry through into adulthood while others never realize how great a gift they could've had, but neglected. Al loved his sister immensely despite her mental and physical challenges. He wanted at least one member of his family back and that was his sister. He wanted to protect her like he used to. You can see and hear the hurt coming from Al (brilliantly played by Dean Stockwell) and there is not a doubt in his mind that he knew Trudy didn't die solely from pneumonia. Al knew that Jimmy wouldn't survive in an institution. That's why he was adamant that they don't fail.
I never watched this show but I can tell it’s a well written show.
I haven't either, but the writer's were tasked with thinking about being in someone else's shoes every episode.
The show was super progressive for its time but the one episode that always gets me is the one where he turns into a Native American and the dude is like super into the Redskins football team for some reason
It's truly an amazing show.
Me neither. I think I'll try watching it
I love this Show.. This Show was clearly ahead of it's time.. and Golden Girls was too..
shows like this help us all empathize with one another. Bring back quantum leap
No way. They'll destroy it.
They actually are….. right now working on a sequel series to this that follows another team trying to restart Quantum leap project years after Sam made the first leap
@@softba2616 I just saw some of the photos on set. That's a real monkeys paw wish if I ever saw one.
Why, so they can replace Sam with a transgender "woman of color" and inject a bunch of woke politics into it?
Modern "morality" is just replacing one form of bigotry for another.
X group hurt Y group.. so instead of X&Y respecting each other as equals, 2022 morality is just "ok now Y group gets to hurt X group"
So instead of understanding and seeing jimmy as a good person, 2022 quantum leap would be " let's kill everyone who isn't retarded"
Or they'll try to do a scene as dramatic as this but with "ahh I'm a (X political party?!") Like real people give AF about the extremist politics
2:27 I'm angry the lady was upset about the platter and not that she got someone opening a door!
what are you One of the Slow Ones this was the 1950s . People didn't understand about that stuff like they do Now
@@robertrodriguez787 This was recorded in the 70's.
Watched this got emotional after als speech about his sister and had to call my brother in the group home to see how he was and tell him i loved him
Go get your brother
@@ChynaFox I can't he's better off in that group home
Just make sure the people in that place are doing right by him, because if they aren't, take everything from them and get him somewhere better.
I've got poo on my dress
If a group home can take better care of him than you can then you’re just fishing for likes here tbh
Her grandmothers platter is broken because she kept it to be used with the rest of the plates. And because she opened that door hard enough to knock someone off balance without knocking. But alas, it is the man's fault.
what's she supposed to have x - Ray vision to know someone behind the door . Clearly he wasn't holding it right or it wouldn't have fallen out of his hands
Ok incel
A funny meme, A sad episode of Quantum Leap.
How the hell is it funny.
Out of context it's fucking hilarious
@@slurpdeedeedee ratio’d
@@angeldaroseli3031 Even out of context it wasn't even close to smile worthy. I saw it for the first time out of context and found it sad
@@MoppinU4Free Huh?
Al is straight up the voice of reason even though the main character is a scientist.
Outside of his womanizing he's a pretty solid guy.
@@winstonmarlowe5254
Yeah, literally in any episode dealing with taboo subjects for the time, he is always the one with the moral high ground, plus he’s really entertaining too
@@themysteriouscatperson9483 Not in the one on gay rights, though. He did come around though by the end.
@@winstonmarlowe5254he was a bro all the way
This show was ahead of its time
I’m gonna start watching this show
Just check the NBC site, the whole series is available for free, but you'll need a VPN if you're outside the US.
"I can't do anything right!"
Welcome to the club, bro 😅😂
😊 thanks
Dean’s performance was perfection, he will be missed. ❤️
Man, Stockwell nailed the anger mixed with grief.
Seeing the goofy sleazy sex on the mind character get dead serious and almost cry over a mentally challenged girl’s death hit hard when I first watched this episode
My mother and older brother watched this show and this is the only episode I remember and it makes me want to rewatch the show
I remember the first time I watched this show, it was like 14 yrs ago, I was in middle/high school and it was in the early hours of the morning that there was a show on where this dude was crossdressing as a lady (turns out he was some lady secretary) who was trying to prevent her friend from committing suicide during a storm. I've been curious about it and watched several episodes, and they all lured me further in the Quantum Leap world... sadly I wasn't able to stay connected with it. But I remember being invested in it. Good show.
Do you know the episode name?
@@ghostedgod5765 Sadly, no. Sorry.
It was season 2 ep 4, “What Price Gloria”.
@@johnharris3016 thanks bruh
Wow the dialogue in that last scene is great.
If you want know why Al's sister dies from neumonia in the asylum read this:
Cold water torture in psychiatric institutions
Later in the 19th and 20th centuries, however, “things got worse because [cold water] was used in ‘insane asylums’ to ‘treat’ people with psychiatric disorders, basically by subduing them,” Dr. Jaekl told MNT.
“Attempts to use cold water to treat people with mental health issues were consistent until the turn of the 20th century not because they actually had therapeutic or curative value but simply because they were a means of control,” he went on to say.
In the 1800s, “surprise” cold showers or baths were used to allegedly treat “raging excitement” and too strong a libido. Such procedures involved dumping a bucket of cold water onto the naked “patient” or dunking them into an icy bath.
i want that teleporting skill
Be careful what you wish for
@@leonelmartinez2486 That's the purpose of the show.. Things may look great but it's could be consequences behind some things that look great.. Remember the consequence of Dr. Sam was he couldn't get home and never got there..
Your kidding right? You do realise he litterly never made it back to his own body. He kept leaping to others bodies for all eternity.
My God, no matter how many times I watch this scene, it never fails to bring a tear to my eye.
I think its about time you grow up and realise its only a made up programme, are you a little simple? If you get my gist
Tears of laughter when he opens that closet door
@@thehomefront1905 Jeez it may be a fictional TV show but you do realize the deeper human lesson in what it's trying convey right? Surely you aren't that dense.
@di_amon My friend, there is no deep meaning in this silly programme. it's for kids.
Let me guess, you were brought up by religious parents?
It's hurts something awful to made fun of because you have a learning disability. Granted I have high functioning Asperger Syndrome and I've made a successful life for myself. But regardless growing up being made of, being called the R word and crying alone at home hurt almost as bad as losing my mom when I was 18. I totally empathize with Al when he started crying and flat out angry
Peace be with your mother
You’re a strong person. I’m sorry you had to go thru all of that. I’m proud of you
Peace and love to you, friend. I'm sorry for your loss.
You probably made it further than your bullies will. But even if you hadn’t found that success, I hope you know there was never anything to be ashamed of
I'll see you on 4chan anon
This is how I feel every day.
The best show of the 90s. I still watch this show to this day.
Der this episode takes me back to when I was a kid miss my dad we used to watch these together on a Sunday thanks for this video brought back the best memory for me life goes buy so fast
1:46 cant remember the last time i felt this way. "cant do anything right" i feel that way every day.
Such a good episode
This is the only clip on YT of this episode, GJ
Thanks for posting this. Yeah, it is cool for people not familiar with the show to understand the actual context of the meme.
The 1980's could make ANY story work. These days, nothing seems to work.
This is like me and my bosses dealing with me at my job.
Awww don't say that. I used to say that to myself, and feel like everyone is simply tolerating me. Turns out I'm wrong and people actually value my work and like having me around.
One of many brilliant episodes .
Al....just...Al. 💕💕💕
We Will Not Lose Jimmy!
This is episode is my absolute favorite.
if you're reading this comment, that's you in the video.
Quantum Leap was such an awesome show. You never knew what was going to happen next. But it wasn't just mindless action, you're constantly thinking "What would I do in that situation?". Now this episode in particular, it just hit hard.
Those "Cruel" Kids...
Grew-Up to Become *EVIL* Demons of Greed, That Were Always Mean.
This is me everyday, very frustrating
so if i remember the show correctly "jimmy" is the only one of sam's host that sam ever leaped into twice or a "second time." the second time he leaped into jimmy was the "deliver us from evil" episode in season five which is the first episode of the three episode "evil leaper trilogy" in season five.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
That’s right Corey
One of the best episodes of television, ever.
I want a full episode

This is me at my job *most days* and yes I do look in a mirror and recite that line when I fuck up
Dean gave one of the best performances on the show in this scene. Always wondered if he had a personal connection to the material
How good was Quantum Leap! 👏
⠀
Damn, that's some good acting.
⠀
Wow I came here to laugh at the expense of the disabled and now here I am feeling depressed. This was Karma
All the people like you who are laughing at the disabled are fucked up as hell. Go to hell, I doubt I have to tell you to do that.
@@slurpdeedeedee jokes on you I AM DISABLED I use this as an injoke with my friends lmao
High horse ass comment
@@Googledeservestodie How was it a "high horse ass comment"? You didn't say you're disabled. Like you said, it's an inside joke, not an outside joke. The internet isn't made of only your friends.
I make fun of Disables too but I got a learning disability myself so in the end were all making fun of each other.
also, calm the Hell Down. I may sure crack a joke or two but I don't borderline bully them that's just wrong lmao. Also, you shouldn't be getting so damn Mad anyways. Also, heads up? You do know how this world works a bit off-topic but. Jokes have been going on all about racism making fun of Chinese Blacks and whites and various other things and nobody bats a fucking eye. But when it comes to some Kid with a mental limit they go Ape shit just to Make it seem like they have a good sense of mortality. Stop your Bullshit. And don't tell people to go to Hell.
Maybe "Quantum leap" needs to return. New actors new stories same principles...great life lessons. This generation truly needs it.
It can't be done anymore. Better to just watch/rewatch the original show
They would scream and yelp every time he jumped into a women, a different race, a rich person, a poor person, a ......you get the drift! World has gone to shit.
@@MrDazzlerdarren Yeah, I have a feeling it would be super woke too
Facts
That'd be nice but you know what they'd do now (actually sorta like what they did then too) is instead of focusing on empathy for the person they'd just phone in making everyone else jackasses beyond normalcy further driving people away from any empathy towards a staged situation purposely tailored to make them look bad.
Poor al
Goes to show when you treat someone as stupid they will perceive themselves as that.
Well maybe that's why people should teach there kids that the World 🌎🌍 is not always a Nice Place . And not everyone will be Nice to you in this World .
His feet were planted. Is was an offensive foul
put it on 1.25 speed
You sir are a hero
Thank you. I was wondering why the acting seemed stilted - the playback. After I switched, it was exactly how I remembered seeing it years ago.
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!
Great show. Quantum leap has heart.
I remember watching this show
One of Al's best scenes.
I had no idea this was a show. Before today this was just a meme
Watch the series, it’s pretty good even to this day.
The best TV series series even made.
What’s the 2nd best?
@@alicetumblescribbleson5961 The Ghost and Mrs Muir.
Wow! I had completely forgotten about this scene but it shows what great acting ability Dean Stockwell had. I feel like he rarely got to flex this degree of acting muscle which is a shame. A real shame. Al only got really upset when it came to Beth I suppose.
I came for the meme but I'm about to actually watch this this is some good acting
dictionary salesman is peak down bad.
The Captain of the Enterprise NX-1, Ladies and Gentleman. But in all honesty, Good stuff
Well Sam had a sister who married some abusive jerk. So here's a potential plot twist perhaps Jonathan Archer is a descendant of the Beckett Family and Great Great Uncle Sam caused the Temporal Cold War with his discovery of time travel.
I work with these people and they need us to live.
I came for the meme, but this was actually a good episode.
People tend to take things out of context and turn them into a joke but they never actually look into the source material and I wish more of them did. Im glad you enjoyed the episode.
Went and sought out the full episode - Brother is a saint, wife is a bitch; kick her out move Jimmy in and the three dudes can rock the mortgage without ya.
Al's story was really sad😔😔😔😔
The car wash had Jimmy throwin his hands down like "ah phooey"
Cant say I've ever been called monkeyface before lol
i feel like this most times ngl
wow that hit really hard
That lady should’ve had grandmas platter somewhere special if it’s that important.
i cried
Could you imagine trying to do this episode today???? Impossible
Liberals would lose their shit
Mr. Joshua Quantum Leap was one of the most progressive shows for its time. It tackled social issues like racism, sexism, and ableism during a period when people complained about "liberals" pushing their agenda in shows of this nature. Saying liberals would lose their shit doesn't make any sense, and misses the entire point of why this series was created in the first place.
@@punkyagogo but cmon man it’s impossible for any other political party to get offended it’s always the liberals! Not like we get offended by a president wearing a tan suit and being asked to wear a mask!
@@punkyagogo I think you are missing his point, because he's right. You might not like that he calls them liberals, but the 'regressives' sure as hell would complain about this being done today: probably claim it's exploitative.
You all are a couple of idiots liberals push this type of agenda based shoes to educate people, if anything if this show was out today a majority of "liberals" would praise it.
4:26 simple. Its 1953 in a Mental Asylum. And in their defense, around 50K people still die of it annually to this day.
I can't think of a bad Quantum Leap episode. The meme taken out of context is pretty insensitive but the episode is quality.
If you watch this clip and then watch the it's always sunny clip with Frank in therapy it's fuckin GOLD
This is exactly how I fucking feel
That was a great monologue
3:01 really picks me up
1:43
The water coming out of that hose is the real issue.
Haha
Came for Captain Archer
My mom loved this show
3:17 “kids are cruel jack, and I’m very in touch with my inner child”
Never heard of this show until the mirror "I'm retarted?" Meme. Came here looking for answers and found what seems to be a heartfelt show.
It's a great freaking show!
RIP Mr. Lahey
Thats actually sad
Not knowing what you are and stil feeling useless
That was a good show. I'd watch it with my parents
I teach Safety Orientation classes a lot for my job. Sometimes there are between 30 - 40 people in them. I have often wondered how I sound to them when I make a mistake. I am supposed to sound well educated in this specific subject, however there are certain times where I will miss-read a line or skip a line. I have wondered if I sound dumb to those in the class. Also, to be honest, it's a three-hour course about safety. So you know it has to be boring to the ones that attend. Lol.
I want to see this now. I bet that poor girl was murderded through neglect
She in fact dies from neumonia:
Cold water torture in psychiatric institutions
Later in the 19th and 20th centuries, however, “things got worse because [cold water] was used in ‘insane asylums’ to ‘treat’ people with psychiatric disorders, basically by subduing them,” Dr. Jaekl told MNT.
“Attempts to use cold water to treat people with mental health issues were consistent until the turn of the 20th century not because they actually had therapeutic or curative value but simply because they were a means of control,” he went on to say.

I was just watching a bunch of old QL clips....Al's sister died in '53 Sam was born in '53 as if Sam was born by the "Great Power" to fix the wrongs of the world and especially the wrongs in Al's life...getting Beth to wait for him, the photographer in Viet Nam took his photo so the world knew he was alive, and perhaps if the show had ran longer save his sister. Almost like the universe was out of balance as far as good and evil and needed to fixed so it created its remedy.
😊great episode
