"Buy a round of cars for the boys"

This was NOT the first time a train set was shown in the series So you're Gonna be a Father He is shown playing with a train set intended for his kid It was on today's TCM Father's day marathon

OMG, that's hilarious! And not unlike our house...

Actually I believe the line is "Buy a round of track for the boys".  Joe McDoakes makes an annual appearance during the Saturday banquet at "S-Fest".  In fact it's become so much of a "tradition" that when the MC announced this last time around that they had experienced trouble in finding a playable copy of the film, there was a palpable sense of relief at our table.  Then he dashed all of our hopes by going on to explain that one was found literally just before the dinner program was ready to start.

I based my comment on the fact that the Joe McDoakes films were pulled from Youtube for copyright violation a while ago. I guess the copyright could have run out between then and now.

In any case, here is the Wikipedia entry on the series. There are 63 films, most of them are still funny.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_McDoakes

Watch the video while you can. The Joe McDokes videos are available on DVD and the folks that own the rights to it will soon ask that it be removed from YouTube.
It is funny.

 

Possibly.  A lot of the films on DVD passed into "Public Domain" a long time ago so it's "open season" for any who want to reproduce and market them. 

A good example is the James Stewart film "It's a Wonderful Life."

But you never know, so Mr. Burfle's advice could be pretty sound.
