Where To Watch
Who said it: Barney Fife or a different Don Knotts character?
Who spoke these hilarious lines about giraffes, karate and dear sweet Juaneet?
Don Knotts made Barney Fife one of the funniest characters on television. Of course, great lines provided by the show's writers helped as well. But Don Knotts was also hilarious in his many other roles outside of Mayberry.
Here are ten quotes said by the always amusing Don Knotts. Try to guess if they belong to Barney Fife or a totally different character!

Gee, no lines from THE RELUCTANT ASTRONAUGHT I think the best movie he ever made, also he and Tim Conway made a wonderful film in 1980 the detectives worth watching if you can find it!!
Loved Don Knotts in "Pleasantville", he was perfect for the TV Repairman role!

I used to love watching Barney trying to be romantic on the telephone with Juanita, and then realizing that he was overheard by Andy or better yet, Opie.

Love his singing to her...priceless!
Missed the giraffe one and the karate one. Shoulda known Luther was the karate expert. Atta boy, Luther!!
Best movie line ever!
It is! Great soundtrack too! I have it on CD. And...I agree...That electrician is probably a Democrat! 😉😋😄
So funny....I watch it when I get the Blues....cheers me right up!
got 8-10 missed the giraffe question and for some reason, i cant recall that line from barney. what episode was that?
That "atta boy, Luther" and "the electrician must be a democrat" was from his Luther character in "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken". From the big town square picnic scene. So funny!
