One of my favorite movies of all time. Great performances from everyone but Knight's stood out. My favorite line:
"How about dropping by the Yacht club? Mmmmm? Mmmmmm? Mmmmm??"
My friends an I imitated the line and his mannerisms while saying that line long after

100% agreed! One of the funniest scenes is when Noonan walks into his office (after the judge has caught him with Lacey). As Smails casually turns in his chair his leg bangs the table and his eyes get really big with pain!
Don't feed trolls!

You are so correct on this, sir. Ted Knight was the best in this film. Had the most iconic lines and delivered them to perfection that we're still talking about it and repeating them nearly 40 years later. This film has never lost its classic appeal, thanks largely for knight. Dangerfield and the others wouldn't have been as funny. We lost him way too soon.

"Don't you have homes?" lol
I agree, among all the comic talent, including Bill Murray, who I feel is the best comic of all time, Ted Knight is the best of the best in Caddyshack.

'odd!'

Caddyshack had an ensemble cast. Ted Knight was just one of the boys.

Ted was funny in everything.
He regularly stole the show in The Mary Tyler Moore show.

Have to admit, I know him from Too Close for Comfort mostly, but he played the pompons ass to a letter in Cadyshack and really gave it that seasoned flavor. It's funny I used to work for a guy who was that "full" of himself yet was no better off than me, so that whole boating scene when he's christening his 20' POS sale boat and Dangerfield's anchor comes in and sinks it is just a smile to my face every time

This was Ted Knight's final movie.
He went out on a really high note. The movie wouldn't have been the same without him.

This was Ted Knight's final movie. I wonder if it's because of the heavy improv and big egos on this set. I used to watch him on Too Close for Comfort growing up, and watching Mary Tyler Moore in reruns and syndication. But for his last film role, it was very iconic, historical and classic.
"George is dead. Call me back."
RING. Hello?
"Hi. It's George."

I heard Ted Knight never improvised, or improved, his lines
ever
because he got pissed off when he saw the cast members riffing on the script. He said it threw his timing off, or something.
Enter my contest! I need help for a new signature! Maybe I'll choose yours and you'll win a cash prize!

I loved his,"You'll get nothing and like it!" line too!!! Anyone know if that was scripted or improvised, cuz it was an awesome line!!!!
"George is dead. Call me back."
RING. Hello?
"Hi. It's George."

To this day, there is Fresca in my fridge because of this movie. Just so I can say "How about a Fresca?" to friends and family like the Judge.

ss-ss-ss-ss-ss!

It's all in the reflexes!

I agree. Knight was a hoot in Caddyshack. Chevy Chase mentioned in an interview some years ago that looking back, Knight probably gave the best performance of the bunch (or something to that effect).
"Are you my
pal
, Danny?"

and yet stealing will get you kicked out of bushwood country club.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
