Lost In Space - Dr Smith insulting the Robot

The many insults from Dr. Smith to the robot...enjoy

I heard that Jonathan Harris kept a notepad on his nightstand, and whenever he thought of a good alliterative insult (usually around bedtime) he would write it down for use later on the show.

Jonathan was one of the greatest actors in tv history. Rest in peace Jonathan 🙏

Delightfully Hilarious in Hindsight, Dr Zachary Smith, my favourite Antagonist of all time, Not to be forgotten, the greatest robot in film history... R.I.P, Jonathan Harris

[johnpezzullo]

Jonathan was an Absolute Genius....Unbelievably Hysterical. !!!! Loved Him....

By the time the show reached the second season, the stars were Dr. Smith and the Robot.

No offence to Gary Oldman or Parker Posey, who are both fine actors, but Jonathan Harris is the best version of Dr. Smith.

We loved Dr Smith! One of the great TV characters of the 1960s. "Ferrous Frankenstein" Priceless!

"You lilly-livered, lead-lined lummox!

[HemiVic]

He was absolutely hilarious! An extremely talented actor!

[IngenerateIngenue]

The alliterative sneaky Smith, snivelling Smith, selfish Smith, scaredy Smith! 😅

[matthewdunham]

One of the best comedy teams of my generation ❤

[spUrrrt]

I was nearly in tears with laughter watching this!

[paulsak]

Lugubrious laggard was my favorite insult. Another great example of using advanced vocabulary. Something no longer available on free TV these days.

"You quivering quintessence of fear"

I was hoping to find an LIS compilation like this on YT. Laughed the entire clip! 🤣🤣🤣

[sergiozammel]

Agreed a less worrisome time, good laughs, and a great show. Just as there was one sergeant Shultz, or inspector Clueseau there will be only one Dr Smith !

[deweypug]

Great thing I read is that the robot was actually Dr. Smiths true ego - one that he tried to distance himself from by way of the insults...

[ericmiller]

At least the robot was smart enough to not want to find doctor smith to avoid being insulted

[alasdairwright]

"You sanctimonious scatterbrain!"

As a 6 year old in 1987 all I remember is dr smith saying “never fear Zachary smith is here”
