To me the funniest scene in the series is in the episode “Mr Monk gets Drunk” when Natalie says “I almost had a heart attack” and Monk goes “….heart attack😁”
I laughed so hard the first time I saw this episode and it still cracks me up. I love that Alice Cooper was down for this, and clearly enjoyed it. I love the flourish he has when he shoots Cusack (1:57)! It really adds to the scene.
Check out that magazine article. "Nothing stirs the soul of San Francisco Union boss Jimmy Cusack quite like a handcrafted wingback chair. 'When you're the head of a powerful union, nothing beats the wingback when it comes to conveying power, authority and the aristocratic nicety of an English drawing room.' Cusack, who's been involved in too many hardnosed negotiations to count, always goes to his wingback when it's time for him to make his most difficult decisions. 'The Great Strike of '98, the Walkout of '89, the Sickout of '84, I orchestrated all those from the wingback I'm sitting in right now.'" LOL.
Isn't it just so mindful when Leyland takes Monk to the one and only place he knows his colleague will adore and be able to recover his sensés again? Wouldn't it ve wonderful if such lovingkindness would be the rule amongst colleagues and that workplaces would be inspiring, soothing the mind.
0:48 the expressions Ted Levine Gave to the captain was hilarious the kinda bobing his head back and forth along with monks hands raising the eyebrows i kinda wish we could get a sequel series i mean the door was left open after the movie
Would have loved some behind the scenes stuff about Alice Cooper being brought in for a day to love on a random chair and beat up someone. Considering the man himself is actually a nice guy and his persona is an act it woulda been a real hoot. "So you want me to shoot him from this angle so the fake blood gets all over the chair? Cool. That's metal, man. I can dig it. So. When do I get to meet Tony Shalhoub? What do you mean I don't get to meet him? Willie Nelson got to meet him! Snoop Dog got to meet him!"
This scene is hilarious... Alice Cooper wants the fairest Antique chair in all the land... Also, I never really thought of this before... but Monk is supposed to be a very obsessive clean freak and germaphobe. But here, not only is he picking up garbage, understandable for him. But he is drinking out of a bottle that he opened with the same gloves he used to pick up the rubbish bags with... It seems that not only is the smell messing with his ability to solve cases, but also with his germaphobia.
I love how someone clearly wrote a fake article about Jimmy Cusack's wingback chair that would have only been on screen for a second and no one would have been able to read on original broadcast
Yeah. It's just like in the episode when Monk and Harold Krenshaw are in the same therapy group together, and the other members start being killed, and so Harold launches into a genuinely hysterical "Here's what happened" summation claiming that Monk was the one who killed them!
In the other video, I mentioned that Monk can explain that Alice Cooper has other people move his chair to express his anger and jealousy. Every time Alice saw an Antique Wingback Chair better than his, he had to make others move his chair out of rage. He lost it when Cusack had the fairest antique wingback chair in all the land. It even made the wall in the background of that article look so amazing! So amazing that it was as if that chair and wall were in color while everything else in Alice's house was black & white. Everytime he hit that wall, he probably kept thinking, "WHY , CAN'T, MY, CHAIR, AND, WALL, BE, IN, THAT, MAGAZINE?!"
Back in the frontier days, I kept this episode on my TiVo for years so I could watch this scene whenever I wanted. Alice Cooper, the bad kind of hippie.
I always wondered: Did they really put up all the garbage bags as props or was there a legit strike at the time and they just incorporated it into an episode? It seems like one hell of a job to put up _that_ much prop bags.
Here’s what happened monk couldn’t think straight to the captain took him to the cleanest room in America. That an the accountant killed a man just so he wouldn’t get caught
