Egg Drop GONE WRONG!

[diabeticman]

This is a vlogger my wife has watched for a while. He moved from California to Alaska to be with his girl and so the town he is living in is having an Easter Egg hunt for the kids. 1:20 is the start of the event. My wife told me about it and said...guess they never watched WKRP in Cincinnati Thanksgiving Episode... You don't mix Aircrafts of any type with a holiday event.

1. "As God as my witness, I thought turkey eggs could fly..."

6. my all time favorite WKRP episode

One of my favorite episodes of any show

[DiverDave]

7. LOL the same thing I thought when I saw the helo

WKRP was a great show and A Carlson was a bumbling good man.

11. Carlson rocked

What a great character

[Cooley Hurd]

8. It's definitely in my top 5 episodes of any show ever!

...which inspires an exercise of best sitcom eps ever. Besides the Turkey Drop, I nominate:
"The Contest" - Seinfeld
"Chuckles Bites The Dust" - Mary Tyler Moore Show
"Lucy Does a TV Commercial" (Vitameatavegamin) - I Love Lucy

10. I can't think of too many right now

But the Dick Van Dyke Show when Rob thinks they brought home the wrong baby
All in the Family when Archie doesn't want a friend of Mike and Gloria's staying for Christmas dinner (not funny but amazingly emotional speech about the Vietnam War by Archie)

[Cooley Hurd]

12. I remember both of them - good choices!

[marym625]

14. I just posted in the lounge

What's your favorite TV sitcom episode of all time. Hopefully, people will respond. Seems like a good day to watch funny stuff. This post sure started the day in a happy way.

I like your choices as well

19. Seinfeld "The Puffy Shirt"!!!

I never laughed so hard in my life.

George becomes a hand model, and of course comes up a cropper in the end.

16. "Oh, the humanity"

[House of Roberts]

2. Arthur Carlson is alive,

and living in Eagle River, Alaska!

3. Somebody please post the WKRP Turkey Drop episode! I would if I knew how, but I suck at

this. I laughed so hard when it first aired and each time thereafter!

[diabeticman]

4. Here you go

[Dustlawyer]

5. Thank you!

9. No Problem.

20. I have the original version where Johnny is playing "Dogs" from Pink Floyd.....

24. An aside...

What is that tan top Bailey is wearing called, and where can you get one?

[marym625]

13. Funny stuff!

And the kids didn't really seem to care. .

[The Jungle 1]

15. show time

I know what I am doing tonight. Netflix it is.

WKRP was a great show.

17. Moral: Never use a helicopter when a piñata will do. nt

[-none]

18. Next year they plan on dropping the eggs on a big trampoline.

Tied down so the helicopter can't blow it around. That's gotta work better, right?

[ffr]

21. Mud would have worked better.

That or cow manure.

Those have my vote.

[-none]

25. Think of the kids and the mud. Yeah, that'll work.

DU needs to show up at the planning session there next year. Great fun for all.

[ffr]

29. Imagine the fun the kids would have.

One Easter egg hunt they'll remember vividly. The parents too!

[-none]

31. I can imagine... As being both at one time.

Well, still a parent, as my kids are long grown.

22. It'd be fine if they had a field with real grass,

though I guess Alaska doesn't have that much flat land that isn't full of snow in April.

Next year, they should hire a balloonist instead of a helicopter to do the drop. Ooh, they could even paint the balloon like an Easter egg and have a mascot in a bunny costume pouring the eggs out! I'm liking this more and more!

[jmowreader]

23. The problem with that statement is,

...this year, Alaska has way too much flat land that isn't full of snow.

[Warpy]

26. and most of it isn't full of grass, either

not to mention that dropping eggs out of a chopper will always give you egg salad when they hit the ground.

After all, who knew that helicopters fly by forcing air downward?

Not these guys.

[jmowreader]

27. Gee George, wouldn't it make more sense to throw these eggs out of a Cessna?

The "eggs" in question appear to be plastic. At least you'd HOPE Sarah Palin didn't plan this event.

[Submariner]

28. Helicopter engine failure can be instantaneous

so hovering low over, or really near, parents with little kiddies may not be the best idea. I seriously thought the copter crashed after seeing the thread title. Not uncommon. Pilot was either ballsy or didn't give a f***.

[raven mad]

30. LOLOLOL!

I will NEVER forget Les Nesmann! That episode - I had it on VHS, so we re-recorded it on DVD, is a Thanksgiving tradition here! Where, by the way, the hidden eggs were in the snow outside - after our extra couple of inches on Thursday.
