Stop It - Bob Newhart 

I had not heard this before. 😂 ❤

Yes, indeed. His phone call with Sir Walter Raleigh was one of my favourites! 🤣 It is up on YT.

STOP IT!!!!!!!

Hi, I'm gonna watch his appearance on the Simpsons after this one. RIP Bob Newhart. 😢

Too soon, very distasteful.

Yep, first one I looked up. Classic! RIP Mr. Newhart.

Oh yea. This is one of my favorite skits of his. Also this is when I discovered him the first time.

This is the top search result right now ❤️ #stopit

I remember watching this in grad school. And of course he will always be Papa Elf!

I have also showed this to my psychology students as a good humor ice breaker.

I've told every therapist I've ever had about this.

My therapist sent this to me 🥲 Probably as a joke. Well, ok….half-joking. 😂

It’s actually great advice in many, many situations!

STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!

My first thought as well! God love this man~ RIP Bob Newhart... The world is a better place for your having been here...

True.

That made me laugh out loud!

STOP IT!!!!!!!!!

The same trade, the same thoughts. Brilliant sketch.

I'm an attorney and I think the same thing.

STOP IT...

Grew up watching this show🤣 This woman is This younger generation....entitled.

Then I feel sorry for you and your brain's ability to understand trauma,as this can be inherited through the subconscious and is going down the line for generations ​@@marielasalas9551

I've heard "Serenity Now" also works

I just need a button like the 'easy button' with Bob saying "Stop it!"

Yessss

@@poeticwaltz It's literally all you need.

A fear is nothing but a wish that 'something' shouldn't happen. Humor is the secret weapon of democracy and sanity. Never take yourself too seriously.

Could you summarize the advice for me so I can write it down?

That was my favorite line. The look on his face when he said it was classic. And then his response to her washing her hands. “That’s ok”. 😂

He did play a psychologist in The Bob Newhart Show.

MadTV when it first began, was astonishingly insightful and funny. I feel like there was deliberate sabotage of the show because the "insightful" components hit a bit too close to the bone so "viewers" contacted MadTV to request more of; _"he look-a like-a man"._ ...I do agree however that wrestling fans and people who watch cars drive in circles are also up late at night, I just thought that wrestling was on late at night as well. (Edit) I am NOT labeling this particular video clip "insightful". See my other comment elsewhere.

Adore Bob, I miss him so much. He was so much fun on the Big Bang Therory and so many of his roles. His dry humour was so unique and special.

Shepp, You worked on mad tv?

Mo Collins is the real deal....she must have been a riot.

THANK you! I was trying to figure that out, I knew it wasn't SNL, I thought maybe SCTV lol...

Yes, suggestions, orders and cognitive approaches rarely make change.

Bob was.

actually I use this to open class discussion in my counseling skills class 🙂

Definitely! My sister teaches Motivational Interviewing, and she uses this video clip in her classes.

• Therapists charge by the hour. ▪ The goal is to connect why you cannot "Stop it" to events (but mostly environments) in your impressionable years (certainly early childhood, sometimes other periods). ▪ Some people are capable of self analysis but initial guidance is important. Not everyone is suited for self-examination, certainly not narcissists but also others. ▪ Bad influences and bad people blame their victims. Confronting them with the truth can be cathartic for the victim but usually will never change the relationship between the two parties. ▪ People who remain where they grew up are usually the least likely to be exposed to different, (in this case) healthier environments. They usually need more positive guidance. ▪ Many (not all) who choose a career in counseling do so because of past trauma in their own lives. ...Food for thought.

StoP!!!

LOL! It's a comedy skit. Y'all really think this is sound advice? Weirdos.

Or we could appreciate both.

​@@frompapertopeoplepodcast4889 Mo is one of the best in mad tv history.

This is what traumatized Joan Calamezzo before she moved to Pawnee.

That's Mo Collins.

@@ljfoor5076 IMO, Mo is one of the best in MAD TV history.

Not underated by me...she's a genius. Look up her credits.

STOP IT!

Stop it!

Yes, that's how I learned to control my addiction.

You're right. If we become obsessed with any thought or emotion, good or bad, if we allow it to dominate our thoughts, it starts to take control of our life. We begin to make roadways to avoid or connect with whatever it is. The mind is so powerful.

@@failuretocommunicate Did this really work for you? At what stage of the thought process do you say this to yourself?

I think I still have him on an LP. Damn! We're OLD!

👍👍

wow..I have never heard of that series..don't think it was shown in the UK...need to look it up on here...I bought Mad comics and books avidly

@@alanoneill3065 - Other than the Spy Vs Spy animated cartoons, the TV show bore little resemblance to the Mad comics, but it had some talented sketch comedians and good (occasionally brilliant) writing at a time when Saturday Night Live was beginning to lose its edge. For the last several years, SNL has been unwatchable.
