Cone of silence
Cone of Ice Cream...
Strawberry flavor please

Don't call it in, it'll melt before getting there

Give someone an idea and actually put it in a movie?
LOL

My wacky humor
When I get either tired or depressed I get funny as heck

Heck is between Birmingham and Mobile Alabama

HECK is nothing like Hooterville
Uncle Joe helped create a different type of Hooters!!!???
Or did he??

The cone of silence was brilliant. The ineffectiveness of the devise, Max's insistence of it's use, and the chiefs frustration at the whole process.

The fact that it's not a cone.

The cone of silence was pre-owned. They got a good deal on it at a garage sale. I guess they got what they paid for.

One of Get Smart’s best. As a young kid, I remember taking Smart seriously and believing he was actually was brilliant when he said that he could trace a scent to some obscure plant in Africa or somewhere. By the time I saw the, Ironhand episode (superb acting) where Mr Ironhand’s fist comes crashing through his own desk in anger, I began to suspect something was up. Brilliant series.

I watched this as a kid and still think it's one of the best TV gags ever. :D

Also present in this hilarious scene as Hodgkins, adding to the humor in this situation and playing it with a a half straight and half "Here we go again" face, is one of the ubiquitous TV faces of the 60s and 70s, Bryan (sometimes spelled Bryon) O'Byrne. O'Byrne it seemed, appeared on virtually every top comedy series in that time, but was also a versatile dramatic actor as well. I recall him having one of the most memorable "find the body" scenes in Perry Mason, where he was found floating in a vat of water. A great talent.

Brent Hill

4y↑36

My favourite show back in the 60's.
I don't know how they kept straight faces doing these scenes.
They even had the portable cone of silence which was taking the joke to another level.

JS Initials

That portable cone of silence can be used to protect you from Covid 19 (Control's Official Villians' In Disguise). Covid 19 missed me by that much, would you believe it? Missed me by that much.

Jack Morrow

@JS Initials I find that very hard to believe.

John Sergei

I bet many time the didn't? That bit gets cut or re done.

John Sergei

@Jack Morrow "Er, how could anybody get the bogey virus Chief?"

John Sergei

@JS Initials (Max) " You'll never get Covid's real name out of me"

How about any of you, do you know it (without looking it up).

You might see some real issues with this name, along with a connection with the SARS patent of 2003.

I remember watching Get Smart as a kid in the 60s. The cone of silence bit was one of the funniest of the show. Even today I get a laugh because it's hilarious.

GK PRIVATE

4y↑3

yes. killed me as a kid watching this growing up. Years later as an Air Force officer and now 35 years in Government work and contracts, this is so perfect. now with COVID, we all wear masks at work, we have a daily standup in the test lab, we all stand 6 feet apart, the cooling fans are noisy, we can't hear what anybody says but we still do it every day

Hal Emmerich

Dude a N95 mask doesn't turn you into Kenny McCormick

One of the most brilliant aspects of this show is the number of word/sight/action gags that did not include a laugh track for many of these comic elements and left it to the audience to decipher the humor value - case in point above.

Karen Morgan

This was an excellent show and until now i still get a laugh out of it.

I lmao when Max asks for the "Cone of Silence", and the Chief is like "The Cone of Silence?" and something is always bound to go wrong. Don Adams played his part well.

Leadblast

2y↑2

The gag got to the point that whenever they talked something confidential and Max would realize it and ask the Chief for confirmation on its confidentiality, the Chief would immediately become nervous lol.

LA HA

I love that Chief hated it so much. Hahaha

"Get Smart"was one of the funniest shows ever. With creators Mel Brooks and Buck Henry every episode had you in stiches. Don Adams was hilarious. Was not aware he was a drill sergeant during Korea in the marine corps. Barbara Feldon was a hottie. Not as popular as Raquel, Nancy Sinatra or Ann Margaret. Still very attractive

Well unlike many of the other comments who grew up watching this in the 60s, I grew up watching it in the early 90s on Nick at Nite reruns! Along with reruns of Green Acres, I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, Dick van Dyke, I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, Dragnet and more. Glad they had those shows on for me to experience as they're obviously all such classics.

As far as the gag-devices went, the shoe-phone was the most iconic. However, considering that there were no cell phones back then, it was actually an outstanding device. If an inventer back in the day came out with an affordable portable phone, even if it had to be worn as a shoe when not in use, he'd be sitting on a gold-mine!!!

Such a shame they don’t have shows like this anymore. Nothing offensive or bad language. Just funny clean comedy.

It was considered politically incorrect in its own time, making fun of minorities, and so on.

I was doing a cleaning job a couple of months ago, at an office. The office manager had the Cone of the Silence on the door. It is amazing that it is still popular today as it was thrn

Best damned comedy series of the 60s. Bar none. Those guys in the lab kept trying to perfect the Cone of Silence but it was hopeless. Loved the Chief's frustration with idiot Max.

My high school age son was telling me about the plexiglass dividers at the tables in his classrooms at school, and it sounded to me like the “cone of silence”. He’s having just as much trouble hearing as Max and the Chief!

We also have cones of silence these days. They are called using headphones to talk. Just because they don’t mention it, it doesn’t mean everyone near you can’t hear you.

In "Smart, The Assasion" or at least I think it's that episode, the Chief asks Max why he always insists on using the Cone, and he says, "Because rule five of the rule book says that when you have a matter of Class A Security--" here the Chief interupts with, "Max, why do you always have to live by the rules?" Max answers, "Because rule seven says that you must always live by the rules of the book.." Another time he even said "Well, for one thing, it's twenty degrees cooler inside

Rory

John Boehmer

He said the second one here in this one...

Kevin Miller

@John Boehmer Implying that the Cone Of Silence was equipped with air conditioning. In the final adaptation of the series, Get Smart, Again, the Cone Of Silence was no longer available, so they had to use Dr. Denton's Hall Of Hush where you could see the printed words. Don Adams was perfect for the role of Max over Tom Poston; Poston just wouldn't have cut it anymore than Jerry Van Dyke would have cut it as 'Gilligan.'

Danny Geronimo Get Smart has on occasion the cone of silence that Maxwell Smart wants to use for top secret stuff, but the CHIEF disagrees on using it for it doesn't work, and believe me, it doesn't work when you have both men seated 6 feet apart going 'what?' 'come again?' But the cone of silence was meant for COMEDY. Obviously you weren't around to know Get Smart to ask that question.

Could we have Trump and Biden under the cone of silence in the next two debates? That way we can hear them, but they can't hear each other, so maybe they'll stop the childish antics.

Louis Emery

I'm reminded of cone of silence whenever my computer microphone for conference software doesn't work in Linux (it is always the fault of conference software companies not sufficiently testing their Linux version). People insist that I buy a Windows computer or new microphone hardware. But no. I'm like Max this way.

That's the point the only competent model was the portable cone of silence. However that one had flaws too since you couldn't get it off you.
