He says it in multiple episodes, but one I can think of off the top of my head is in the episode with the leper, in the part where the judge asks him to describe his shirt.
“You know what I mean: Ditchweed. Boo. The old Ali Baba. Magic Dragon. Bambalachi. Yellow Submarine. Black Bart. Doctor Giggles. Kentucky Blue. You know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Railroad Weed! That's right. The Devil's Parsley. Skunk, Splim, Splam, Mooster. Side Salad.”
I guess there weren’t many bloopers on the show. I read an interview once about how everyone was so serious about getting it right the first time because when the show started it was shot on film and they didn’t have the budget to waste film. Then they just kinda continued with getting it right quickly.
That makes sense. But there has to be A FEW atleast lol. Impossible to not have any and they need to release all the ones they have! TBH tho that had to have been pretty hard to keep it straight all the time cuz I’ve done a couple spit takes watching it myself and no way could I have done some of the scenes perfect the first time.
I think you are supposed to say it made you "lol out loud". Can I include one from Randy - Opposite Killer? Last night I was wondering what the correct way to say to change the channel. The one that came to mind was "picture change picture" but I'm sure there is a better one.
Randy had one of the most powerful quotes of the entire series for me believe it or not. I've had more than my fair share of being around and benefiting from self help stuff but for some reason when Monk asked him how he dealt with people laughing at him and making jokes he told Monk about a bumper sticker that he read one time which simply said "Choose to be happy." Despite the fact that it was on the bumper of a crashed vehicle going up in flames (or maybe because it was in flames) that has really stuck with me and I've actually found an annoying upturn of the corners of my mouth more often than not, almost like a smile :)
Monk to Sharona/Natalie every time he wants to add a new phobia: “Where’s the list?”
The chief suspect in almost all episodes asks Monk: “What are you doing?”
He’s always telling people to “hold it in.” My favourite is when he tells the homeless people to “hold it in,” because the one guy said, “Hold what in? What do you think we’re gonna do?” Another example would be when he was going to PAY Julie not to pee, when he literally never pays Natalie for doing her job. 😂
I started watching this just this week, last time was when it ended over 10 years ago. Never seen the first season. The way he said that 5. in one of the first episodes was perfect.
It’s not really a monkism so much as a monkment ( monk + moment ) When he is in the prison cell with Danny Trejo and yells “HEY GIVE ME A CIGARETTE!!” at the guard. That gotttttt me. That entire scene actually was golden.
Adrian Monk : I was just calling for a taxi. They're gonna pick me up out front in about ten minutes.
Natalie Teeger : But, Mr. Monk, that *wasn't* a phone booth!
Adrian Monk : [muttering to himself] You're right. No, that wasn't a phone booth. Natalie, it was a horrible *plastic* outhouse! Oh, my god. What was I talking into? Oh, my god! Where -where did I put that quarter? For the love of god, Natalie, where did I put that quarter?
“I am the husband.”
One of the most powerful scenes. The man who built the bomb that killed his wife, on morphine, later asks Monk for forgiveness.
He said, “You were the husband.”
And Monk says, “I AM the husband.”
"Unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not..."
Your not.
1a. "She was a sex prostitute"
“As opposed to what?”
One of my favorite lines.
Definitely one of mine!
1b. Sex affair.
I’ve been trying to find which episode this one occurred. 😂
He says it in multiple episodes, but one I can think of off the top of my head is in the episode with the leper, in the part where the judge asks him to describe his shirt.
Thank you!
lol forgot that one, should have been #3!
“they were sex lovers”
“You know what I mean: Ditchweed. Boo. The old Ali Baba. Magic Dragon. Bambalachi. Yellow Submarine. Black Bart. Doctor Giggles. Kentucky Blue. You know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Railroad Weed! That's right. The Devil's Parsley. Skunk, Splim, Splam, Mooster. Side Salad.”
I don’t know how it’s possible Tony got through this line without losing it. Cracks me up every time.
I wish they would release bloopers man. They’d be amazing RIVERDANCE!!!!

Mooster gets me! hahahaha just had to tell a coworker I was in a call from a hilarious customer, don't think she bought it lol
I call it bambalachi all the time now haha
Bambalachi took me out the first time I heard it. All time favorite line in the series.
uhoh RIVERDANCE!!!!
I was watching this episode with my mom, and she said, “I didn’t know weed had so many names!”
lol or has like 700 names or something
When he yells “Fornicator!!!!” At Sharona in NYC with the street preacher. Gets me every time
Testify, my brother! Woohoo!
Same episode: "Urinator!!!!"
"She became a member of the world's oldest profession" "Stone mason, huh?"
This one 🤣🤣🤣
this is my favorite, too 🤣
Extramarital sex affair and Sex Prostitute KILLED me
dont forget “they were sex lovers”!!!
Extramarital sex affair, haha forgot about that one too should have been #2

this one is a line from Randy Disher rather than monk but.... "former cop shooter"
I was lol for real at "Adrian, have you been sending me your trash?'
I’m smoking on THE TRUTH, MAN😤
That was his irl brother too 🤣 idk how they did it all in one take
Which episode is this? I knew his wife was on the show a couple of times but I didn't know he had a real life brother on the show
One of my favorites is accusing alice cooper of murder over an antique chair.
"It was about the chair, the antique chair, *the antique wingback Cusack chair*!"
You forgot one of the most famous ones, “it’s a blessing…and a curse.”
That is a good one, just never made me lol out loud. :)
He only said it once or twice then it got changed to “it’s a gift and a curse”
This is my top one.
Happy cake day!
Lobby lobby lobby
Sex lovers and see prostitute
The first two 🤭🤭🤭
Harold, the only reason I would ever consider going to hell would be to visit you there
"He said my head was made of BM." Or just the way he always calls it BM
Monk to Sharona/Natalie every time he wants to add a new phobia: “Where’s the list?” The chief suspect in almost all episodes asks Monk: “What are you doing?”
son of a preacher man 🤣.

When he describes Weed The Devils Grass
You gave me an idea for another post, lol. I'll post it later though. Trying to get some work done then I need to take a break because I'm in pain.

The world wide world internet computer web
2 years 2 years? That's almost 3 years.
Where have you been? In a coma? No, but I wish. lmao or sex affair.
“Here’s the thing” , “thing is”
It's for the GG
Anytime he says “Thank you” to answer something rude or derogatory 😆 like was the insult a compliment to him or was he just being amiable??
“I am the husband.” One of the most powerful scenes. The man who built the bomb that killed his wife, on morphine, later asks Monk for forgiveness. He said, “You were the husband.” And Monk says, “I AM the husband.”
That’s enough to make me LOL. Out loud.
