A Plaque for Mayberry 

Such a great scene. Andy knew he was taking the gamble by putting his faith into Otis. Knowing that Andy was taking the gamble, Otis responded by taking responsibility and not letting Andy down.

Otis' speech has some of the best set of lines in the entire show, ironic since he was sold short as a "good-for-nothin' drunk" for most of the series, but when sober, he turned out to be one of the most humble and wise characters.

It was so nice to see Otis all cleaned up, hair combed, and in a suit.

Otis' wife standing by his side. Love is real.

My favorite episode. If anyone was deserving of recognition that day, it was Otis. For he showed everyone who doubted him, and only thought him a drunk, what he was really made of.

Hal Smith, the actor who played Otis, was close to a teetotaler, almost never taking a drink.

Just does not get any better than this. Honor Dignity and Class! I truly hope Hollywood can one day recapture this.

one of the best scenes in the show, imo. very understated how his wife was so proud of him. as it turns out, he really is worthy of an award, just not the one they wanted to give him. very awesome character moments -- this is exactly why this show is what it is.

Barney "Wheres my plaque, I want my plaque". Priceless.

Otis, a good citizen! He is a Deputy whenever needed!

0.30 LMAO !!! Barney nailed that part imitating Otis. Classic!

"The only plaque Otis Campbell deserves is from the distiller association of America". LOLclassic

So nice and humble chap Otis is.

The same actress played Otis’ wife in The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.

I loved this show as a kid but have much greater appreciation of it now. So sad that today's hollywood would never create anything like this again.

One of my favorite episodes, vary rare, Otis sober and clean Ed up , well done

The Mayor, Councilman, Sheriff, Deputy, Women Historical Society, and Newspaper, along with Mrs Campbell! Seems like Otis has some good friends and family! Even a reformed brother!

Loved Otis. My favorite character. Loved the way he staggered into his cell.

Love this show, I watch it everyday!!!!!!! Excellent!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤!!!!!

Otis played his part so good and well

Barney getting to say, the one and only time, "You beat everything, you know that?".

The script was terrific and I bet it took some practice to get it down for the conversation between Barney, Andy and the mayor outside the room. They pulled it off perfectly, it’s hilarious.

Otis makes a good sensible character, courtesy of Mrs. Campbell.

Otis..Hal Smith..had quite a career. Look him up on Wiki..

Otis was such a sweet and kind character

So simple and so great a show; leaves todays crap in the shade

true Otis drinks alot but when need be he didn't let Andy down who had faith in him even if the Mayor, Barney and the Town Council did not have faith in Otis.he proved them wrong.

I tear up in nearly every show.

Absolutely exceptional.

a great episode I love the "or should I say the 100 proof" line :)

Awesome!!

AWESOME..NO ONE CAN'T DISPUTE THIS..

Best show ever.....

Supposedly Nathan Tibbs ran 8 miles to burn this bridge, and Otis can hop on one foot longer than Barney, guess natural stamina ran in Otis's family.

Distillers association of America !!! 😅😅😅😅

So great....Otis was a good guy.

Where's my plaque ? From the distillers society of America! ! Three cheers from the graybar hotel 😂😂😂😛😛😛💟💟💟👍👍👍👲👲👲

This is a perfect example of why you should never sell anyone short. The second you let them fall, they will rise up and leave you humbled.

One of my favorite TAGS episodes.

1:59 When someone fell down the stairs

Hate to say it but tv in past years was way better than today's garbage as with most shows..Vulgar comedy, killers and criminals , violence . Even back then the violence was low key at best. Good old days for sure. That's what makes good memory's.

0:32 LOL!!

Some of those townspeople demonstrate the biblical quote: oh ye of little faith. ☺️

❤❤

In those days they didn't understand the consequences of giving an alcoholic a drink! I still love the show.

Now I see why Otis drank so much.

lol barney were,s my plac

Funny, but in real life, Otis never drank. On the andy griffith show Otis part was shut down during the tail end of the sitcom because the show frowned on his part of always being drunk. Otis was the man!

The mayor was always such a typical elected official- more worried about his reputation and success than anything else.

They don't make shows like that

Fifteen minutes later Otis is swinging from the chandeliers, "Gimme my Plaque!"

Its a dry county except the Mayors office i see

Where's my plaque gimme my plaque

No wonder Otis is got a weakness for the spirits, look at his wife.

So if this is a dry county, how come the mayor gets to give out drinks?

I didn't know that Otis was married.

0:08 The Mayor tried to get his pouch as close to Andy’s legs as he could. Yikes!

Wow I see why Otis is always drunk -- look at that wife!

I remember that episode but now that I'm in my 60s it brings tears to my eyes
