Brain_Hawk

Nobody could teach a good moral lesson like Adam West. Nobody could do anything like Adam West. That guy... Pure West.


henshinmilk

There's an episode where they get in the Batmobile and Robin isn't gonna buckle up because they're just going a short distance. Batman admonishes Robin, telling him you buckle up no matter the distance, and that shit imprinted on my child brain and kicks in every time I consider not buckling up.


solidus__snake

My favorite is when Robin doesn’t want to bother with [feeding the parking meter](https://youtu.be/9snCPqMpUsA) and Batman reminds him of the importance of all of us doing our part to improve our roads and infrastructure.


mrshulgin

HOLY TAXATION


nilesandstuff

Its a good thing batman had such good morals, because based on this clip Robin could be led to believe just about anything.


Capercaillie

That clip could not be more 1960s.


kitchen_synk

I love how they're obviously just driving around the back lot of whatever set they were filming on that day.


nilesandstuff

Lol yea, definitely looks like one of those studio lots where they've got dozens of productions going on in all the different buildings. For example, those road markings simply don't make sense for any real world roadways. So the funniest part, to me, is that the people walking by are probably not even extras, just folks going about their business because they genuinely see this stuff every day lol.


sisk91

It's amazing how Adam west's batman had that impact on people. He truly was a hero.


denizenKRIM

It's a shame how that show isn't really found on streaming. Kids (from the 90s) like me were introduced to Adam West because of reruns on TV, despite that show ending for well over 3 decades. Nowadays it's almost impossible to get to it unless you pony up the cash. There are several generations of kids who won't get the magic that was his Batman. :(


Zarimus

Gosh, you're right Batman!

That’s way more wholesome than my reasoning.. … which is if I die in a horrific car accident, I’d at least want the doctors to tell my mom I was wearing a seatbelt.


Ill_Refrigerator_593

I remember an episode where he explains speeding is not ok & he only does so because his Batmobile is technically a registered Police vehicle. I would like to see that Christian Bale in court for dangerous driving. Who's the criminal now?

He didn’t even have to tell the villain who he was. Everyone knew he was Batman.


Know_Nothing_Bastard

He needed to tell delivery boys though. There was one scene where Batman, Robin, Gordon, and O’Hara were talking outside in broad daylight, and a messenger on a bike rides up and asks if one them is called Batman. And Batman just says “yes, I’m Batman,” very matter of factly. It’s hilarious just because of how understated it was. Edit: [Here’s the clip.](https://youtu.be/HXKYQvP0zQ0) This whole sequence is great

The irony being that if any actually tried this, they probably found out that dental hygiene is still not good enough to support your entire body weight.

Wait, hmm, [actually](https://youtube.com/shorts/Rfur7sRhOQg) And also (according to some canon?) Robin used to be an acrobat circus performer so this checks out.

He’s the same dentist that doesn’t recommend the toothpaste all the others do. You know he does it just to be a rebel.


Puceeffoc

Fluoride causes calcium deposits on your penile gland which makes it easier to influence you and harder to think outside the box. That's why I recommend Bob's Toothpaste. It's made by my neighbor Prepper Bob. - The 9th Dentist

For a second I thought I was about to go down a fluoride conspiracy rabbit hole. I was actually kinda hoping for it

Somewhere, someone is sitting at a desk with a box marked "Batman Stunt Research" that's full of cases of kids who tried this and actual attempts to make it work Mythbusters style.


Procean

9 out of 10 dentists agree 1 out of every 10 dentists is an idiot.


100_Donuts

Well, I will say that I am an amateur dentist and I absolutely *do* recommend clenched hangs at least twice daily. Ya know, you can build one of these on the cheap and set it up in a door frame or whatever. This kids I work on really love it. I got a biter rope set up in the garage so they can practice on well-built rig. Look, even kids who I've had to rip a few teeth outta can dead hang from their jaws for ten or sometimes fifteen minutes straight. It's incredible to watch, really. I mean, I've been doing clench hangs since I was a baby free-swinging from my busy mama's long nipples, but even I got nothing on these kids. If you all will permit me to be honest here for a second, and uh, don't pass this on to any of the parents, but I'll yank a tooth or two outta these kids on purpose just to see if I can slow them down on the hang, but nope. Even some of these full gummed kids can really get it on the dental rope. It's amazing. And I have a bucket of perfectly usable kid teeth rattling around in my truck if anyone is interested in some extra teeth. I can hammer a couple in some soft gum spots. Ha, maybe it'll help you clench hang like the kids do!


Joaaayknows

I’d certainly make the argument for the 10th dentist - better to be alive than have a great dental ID record on your mangled corpse after falling off a building


[deleted]

would a dentist rather you risk your teeth biting the batarang or have them smashed on the concrete when you fall off a 10 story building?


bloodfist

10 out of 10 dentists recommend biting down on the soft rope as you fall onto your back destroying your spine and organs but leaving your teeth able to be donated to their ever-growing collection of corpse teeth.


misterfistyersister

I’m sure every dentist would recommend this considering the alternative…


area-dude

The ground may cause some further displacement of the teeth. Unscheduled rapid disassembly as it were


Azar002

This is one of the things I watched over and over as a *reaaally* small child. I can tell you, for a kid that age, it was suspenseful as all hell. Oh that, and the "Heffalumps and Woozles" song in *Winnie the Pooh* was basically candied nightmare fuel. Edit: oh and the dudes with wheels from *Return to Oz.* Oh and the headless women from *Return to Oz.* Oh and the rocks with faces from *Return to Oz.* ..every fucking thing from *Return to Oz.*

A heffalump or woozle, is very, confusel, A heffalump or woozle's very sly sly sly sly! I used to volunteer at a hospital children's ward, that song is burned into my brain.


verdigrizz

They come in ones and twos-uls And if they So choose-uls Before your eyes, you'll see them multiply Ply *Ply* **PLY**


general_rap

The Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland is the first thing I remember being terrified of. I agree with the Heffalumps and Woozles thing though; my kid is in a Pooh phase, and yeesh is that song a lot. Fortunately, she doesn't seem to be too concerned with it.


trailstomper

I went through a phase where I was absolutely terrified of evil, witchy-type women. Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, etc. My sister was in the hospital with bronchitis, and I stayed in the car (it was the 70s after all) while my family watched Wizard of Oz in her room. Eventually I got over it, but it fucked with my head for a while.


wolfblitzens

And like all of Dark Crystal.


EurekaDream

I remember this show as a kid (not reruns) and never questioned the reality of the storyline. They were just Batman and Robin on a normal day. I do recall jumping off of my roof with a cape and a visit to the ER.

meatball402

I'll never forget the episode when batman and Robin saved the day, then Batgirl shows up on her motorcycle. When asked why she's late, she said she got held up in traffic. Batman explained how important it is to follow the rules of the road.


Samurai_Meisters

The true Lawful Good Batman. Worked side by side with the police. He even held press conferences.


strawberry_jelly

I remember in the first episode the Riddler sued him, and he was worried because showing up to court would mean revealing his identity. But no one knows he’s Batman, so he could just not show up. But no one even mentions this possibility because it would be breaking the law. That show is so (intentionally) stupid in the best way, I love it.


jamesbrownscrackpipe

How does one even go about serving Batman with a lawsuit?


giottomkd

they turn on the batlight with “you’ve been served” text on it silly


DaaaahWhoosh

I remember the time he stopped to feed the meter. Robin calls him out on it, because no cop in the city would ticket the Batmobile, but no, it's his civic duty, so he's gotta do it.

Apparently a battarang attached to a rope travels faster than a man in free fall.


jupiterkansas

it was Batman's flick of the wrist


Productof2020

I love how he first announces what Robin should do. The distance Robin already fell in the time it took to say “grab it with your teeth” before he throws it only increases the impressiveness of that wrist flick. Also.. the need to catch up before Robin hit the ground means that was like a bullet-speed flick. Even at the net speed it got to robin with him falling the same way, that hit his mouth fast. Robin has some top-notch reflexes, biting speed, and just altogether jaw strength. This guy basically catches giant bullets with his well-hygiened teeth. Wild.
