What do you tip a chambermaid?

😂 Loved it

Fans loved the police car scene in The Trip (2), especially George's absurd questioning about tipping chambermaids and the British siren impression, though opinions split on the rest of the episode.

I don't know why, but I thought that George's obsession on what you tip a chambermaid was so hysterical. Just the way he carried on in the police car made me crack up. As if it weren't a strange situation to begin with, George is asking criminals what to tip a chambermaid. I thought it was a riot. That whole police car scene was actually hysterical. The siren gag was great too. Jerry's impression of a British siren was quite funny and the way they made the conversation sound as if they really were interested in the evolution of a police siren was hysterical.

p.s. I was in Minneapolis for 4 days and didn't tip the chambermaid. I didn't know you were supposed to until the episode was on. Poor Minh.

The bit about the 12-gauge rifle was funny, too. It was so obvious that neither one of them had ever touched a rifle. They sounded like I would sound trying to talk about guns.

The police car scene was the only scene I enjoyed from this two- parter. Otherwise, I thought it was a big disappointment.

I would tip $5 a night!!! But I am a big-tipper as the Smog Strangler was also reportedly a generous tipper!!!!

I enjoyed the whole show - the second part the best. I got a kick out of when they were calling 911. When George was asking passer- byers where they were, it was funny. Wasn't that "Earth" joke used before?

Many, many times. The first instance I recall was ca. 1954 on "I Love Lucy," in the splendid "Loving Cup" episode.

Lucy gets her head stuck in a loving cup and she and Ethel take the subway to a jewelers' who will remove the cup. They are, predictably, separated in the subway. Lucy is stranded on the platform, cannot see because of this gosh-awful cup over her head, and, hoping she is at the <54th Street> station, cries out: "Where am I?" A passer-by glances at her and says: "Earth."

Are You suggesting that Elaine is no longer with the show??? I haven't read this newsgroup for a couple of weeks, so I'm not up on the latest developments.
