Man,gimme some of that !!

Warning: Spoilers
Richie gets his drink spiked with who-knows-what sort of drug at a frat party. The presumed drug's effect begins almost immediately !

Plain old,mild Richie Cunningham turns into a rude,raving maniac at the party,Richie ends-up insulting everyone there with a ton of manic energy! He rides Fonzie's motorcycle late at night while wearing a swim-mask and snorkel and finally Richie rides the motorcycle right into the Cunningham living room- in other words it is like a Jekyll/Hyde type change! The mild-mannered and quiet Richie Cunningham is suddenly turned into a loud,rude,abrasive blowhard and it is indeed pretty funny! It is a well-done later episode for sure.

I want to acknowledge what the other,previous reviewer said,ie. Whoever spiked Richie's drink was totally in the wrong,and I myself want to say that the drink-spiker should be pummelled on sight as that is indeed a really rotten thing to do. After the pummelling, the drink-spiker should be arrested and given a little shock-time/lock time and then be let-out of jail and watched closely for a year or two. Secretly spiking drinks with anything pretty-much IS universally viewed as a wrong and deserving of severe punishment. Everyone,everywhere knows that this is wrong,(for a million reasons),and nobody wants their own sister's drink to be spiked at a bar,(for example) right? Of course not!

Odd out of character episode.
rorygunn20 July 2021
Given that Richie was as straight laced and goody goody as they come I found it very odd and very out of character that his friends especially Fonzie would react to Richie the way they did after his night of wildness. Also when Richie fainted in the living room no one offers to get any kind of medical help to find out if something's wrong. They all just over react. The Fonz especially should have realized something was off with Richie given that Richie is never this impulsive and outrageous in his behavior. If it had been any other character maybe the reaction would have been warranted but not with Richie who is so clean cut. Whoever wrote this no doubt forgot that the characters especially Richie and Fonzie were already established a certain way and therefore should have realized this. I mean Richie himself wold have never acted like this straight and clean so that should have been a sign that something was off. All in all I found this a very out of character episode for the rest of the cast and they way they reacted to Richie's antics.

Bullfrog should go to jail for what he did. Not funny at all.
