Why couldn't they have just said "no identification" 🥀

The pause between Natalie saying “no ID” and Monk saying “…… No idea?” was comedy gold

[u/derLeisemitderLaute → u/mawswas]

ohhh, thats what he said in original? Thats way better than in the German version. In German it was :
"Nicht identfiziert (not identified)", "nicht infiziert? (not infected)"

[u/rahxrahster → u/derLeisemitderLaute]

Oh wow. So was the scene less comedic due to the translation or was it still somewhat funny?

[u/oklch → u/rahxrahster]

It was still very funny. 😄

[u/rahxrahster → u/oklch]

At least the humor remained intact 😂

[u/IndependentStrike517 → u/mawswas]

Especially when she and Randy physically spelled it out with their bodies 😂And he still didn’t get it

[u/alcalaviccigirl]

when he makes an invisible mustache over his upper lip ( call stottlemeyer) 😂

This scene along with the jackhammer in NYC was a case study regarding the fine line of drawing a joke out too long. 

[u/Ok_Simple3549 → u/LemonSmashy]

Yeah the jackhammer scene was so annoying. So was him pressing the buzzer in “Mr. Monk and The Game Show” with Trudy’s dad.

[u/BitchesLuvA → u/Ok_Simple3549]

God yes the buzzer😭😭

[u/Gr0v3rCl3v3l4nD → u/LemonSmashy]

They had a few scenes like that. I recall a scene when Monk is in hospital or waiting room and a boy is coughing for a solid 2 minutes.

[u/These-Quality-8389]

I have no ID

[u/Rinzlerx]

I watched this episode last night and was so close to making a post about this scene. It’s so long and I love them for dragging it out so long.

[u/mistAr_bAttles]

The way he makes that mustache to say Stottlemyer always gets me 😂

[u/Joppy5100]

No Idea?!

[u/oklch]

This even works in the german translation, with „nicht identifiziert? (not identified?) and Monk saying „nicht infiziert“ (not infected). Funniest episode by far. Love it!

[u/IcedHemp77]

Because than it would not have been a drawn out funny scene…

[u/ThePBSIDGuy → u/IcedHemp77]

True, true

[u/jupiteristrans07]

THATS WHAT I SAID

[u/Icy_Statement_2410]

A Hot Toddy and Muenster?

[u/nomo_corono]

No idea. 🤷‍♂️

[u/RiverOhRiver86]

What episode is this?

[u/imnotimpt → u/RiverOhRiver86]

s4 ep 16 i think, mr monk gets jury duty

[u/Zhongliass]

I always wondered why he didn’t use a differently sounding word, the joke was funny but it was dragged out for too long IMO like some other jokes in the show.

[u/Anuk_Su_Namun]

No idea
