Too Close for Comfort - Season 6 - Eps 21: Presenting Buddy Ficus
Monroe reviews a comedy club, and thinks that the comedians at the club were not up to par; he decides to go onstage himself to try his hand at stand-up comedy. On the night Monroe is performing, under the stage name Buddy Ficus, the audience does not think his jokes are funny and everyone (except Muriel, Henry, Hope and Lisa) leave. Monroe falsely thinks he did a great job, and it is up to Henry to tell Monroe that stand-up is not Monroe's forte.
