Subject: favorite taxi episode

Written By: snozberries on 01/14/06 at 11:08 am

Writing about Jeff Conaway got me thinking about my favorite Taxi Episode


It's the one where Jim is taking the test to get his license and the other cabbies go with him.
Iggy gets stuck on a question and looks to his friends for help.

IGGY: What does the yellow light mean?
"Slow down."
IGGY: Wh-at do-es the yel-low light me-an?
Whispers: slow down
IGGY:(looking down at the test)  Wwwwhhhhaaaatttt doooeeessss the (looking down again) yellllllooooowwwww liiiigggghhhtt mmmmeeaaannnn!


OMG it is so hilarious!  ;D

The one where Latka takes on an alter-ego as a smooth talking suave, cool guy and i can't remember the alter-ego's name.

It's hard to choose a favourite, but I think the one where Louie brings a Pac-Man arcade into the garage ... Jim pops in his first quarter, and within the first few secondes, you hear the sound of Pac-Man dying three times!  Threafter, Jim gets hooked, so come pay day, Louie gives Jim his pay in a bag of quarters  ;D

I also liked that one where Ted Danson played a gay hairstylist and gave Elaine a really awful hairstyle, so in the end, Louie gets revenge on the guy  ;D

Man I haven't watched Taxi in a looooong time.

Which episode was it where Louie(Danny DeVito) went over to Mary Lou Henner(can't remember her character's name)'s apartment and he needed her to do something for him or something like that and he gets down on his hands and knees begging her?  He's always such a wise@ss I remember laughing very hard at that part because it's so funny to see him like that.

right, Tony Clifton was a character he performed on stage in costume , but I'm not referring to that. It's in one episode something triggers a Buddy Love type temporary change in him, and he becomes a smooth talking jerk, and then something triggers his change back to Latka and he's not aware of the change.

i think he got caught looking at elaine thru a peephole when she was changing at work, then she got him fired somehow.He went to her apartment to ask her to get his job back because the boss said it was up to her!
