@@Zodroo_Tint season 5 episode 12

It shows what he only care about. :)

​@@Zodroo_Tintyea, he only cares about proving his stupi point

Most men would worry about their family's safety by Ray only cares about his issues first he try.s to put the fire out with his drink and when that doesn't work he tries the world's dumbest hose

And complaining

Baby’s are more useful and mature.

Such a mama's boy.

@willow, he is NOT man child and he does help when he can around house! Don't pick on my Raymond! Just stop watching reruns of the show already!

Wait until Ray's mother visits. I guarantee Marie will say something about Debra's cooking!!😂😂😂

Hold up 💀

Thats because (no matter what they say) they are...... TURKISH of descent!

What was there to smell? The fire created absolutely no smoke at all like it should have.

Big nose, and still nose blind.

What an unpleasant comment, you must be perfect, you don’t even have a profile picture but I can imagine why 😂😂😂

Use the ant spray a moment ago and its mixes with oils and herbs. That’s how it causes the fire and he did not wipe it off the stove.

Oh yeah. Big time.

Marie's fault

In fairness, in this scene, his family were being A-Holes

@@tombailey837 hey, they’re all A-holes. 🙂

He is such a selfish, arrogant mama's boy. He has his moments of "funny" but........

He didn't burned the house down. Don't make up stuff! Nothing serious happened, Debra got lucky, she got a reality check about Ray's usefulness during fire.

​@@Zodroo_TintU r watchin a diff show ! Ray isn't useful in any stressful situation

@@ambika66681 Actually believes it or not, Ray isn't the worst example. He never cheated, provided for his family financially, always comes home to Debra no matter how crazy the family get and in his own way shown several times to be there for his family at the end of the day even if he do some questionable things. As much as he doesn't cares for the responsibility, he really does loves his wife and kids deeply at the end of the day. As Robert himself puts it, he wouldn't really trades this life for anything.

@@user-ie8om9rr2g Exactly, so he's doin d bare minimum. Still not a very gud husband 😕

@@ambika66681 Little things can sometimes mean a lot to a person. Here everything that I've noticed about these two over the years behind the fights. Ray have shown several times throughout the show to be comfortable in showing deep emotions or telling his wife some personal childhood stories that he doesn't usually do with others. He also got rid of his old childhood car just because it made Debra uncomfortable, reassures her that the babysitter wouldn't replaced the kids' love for her, got her job back after she got fired on her first day after initially being unsupported (which even Debra herself admits was very sweet even if she didn't takes the job back out of ashamed), set up an vow renewal on his own to makes up for taping over the wedding video, have shown times to care what Debra think of him, fought Frank to have Debra's initial house color for her, admits in front of all Robert's wedding guests that he still considers his wife to be the most beautiful girl in the world and wrote a touching letter in his newspaper column to makes up for forgetting to thanks Debra in his speech. Throughout the series Ray often takes the time to comes up with ton of creative or unusual nicknames for Debra. The fact that she barely bats her eyes over this show that she is used to this. He also is shown to occasionally to still be capable of making her laugh. Meanwhile throughout the entire series Debra puts up with her in laws' antics for the sake of her love for her husband. She also often serves as her husband's confidant, is supportive of Ray's job even if he have to travel often, worries if their marriage is strong enough after her parents divorces each other and have times tries to convinces Ray to not let his parents get under his skin. She's a good wife. It is also shown that both are boring people who are all right with simply watching tv or going to the occasional movies or dinner together. The series finale especially show that Debra would in fact be an complete wreck without Ray being with her and no doubt he would be the same with her. An minor sweet thing but while Ray and Debra may bickers often the one thing that they have always been in total agreement is that they are very careful in making sure that their kids don't get involves in the family arguments. It can be implies that on some level Ray is mindful enough to not want his kids to experiences the same thing he and Robert went through during their childhood. Also, we do need to remember that the show is showing their worst days because that what makes it interesting and funny. They had to have ton of good times together if the long-lived marriage is still going on strong underneath all the bickering. Ray do a good job in providing for his family and he is more involves with the kids than what is shown. Debra have made comments few times that she does in fact consider Ray to be a good husband and her biggest fear is losing him. He always comes home to her even if things are crazy around the house with the family. Lot of the times the fights are due to stress, annoyance or the heat of the moment. Their actual everyday relationship is probably more tame than what is shown. They get on each other nerves but there also nobody else than they rather be with. They're comfortable with each other and are able to get by the trials in the marriage. Isn't that what makes a marriage successful at the end of the day? I think it is worth mentioning that as much as Ray can be frustrating at times or lazy about household chores, he is no idiot. He know what is going on with the family situation and is kinda in a hard place. He knows that his parents are nuts and difficult people and he know that mom isn't doing much favors for his wife. That is the love of his life and the mother of their children. Yet at the same time he still cares for his parents deep down meaning banning them permanently is out of the question. The thing is Frank and Marie are going to do what they want to do and Ray can't do much about their behavior. He and Debra just have to deal with it for the better or the worse. What he does do is show Debra that he loves her in other ways that may be small but probably actually means lot to her. Debra do recognizes this which is why she never left. She knows she got a good if bit imperfect husband who she loves dearly. She is truly Ray's light in this crazy family because she stuck around. I also just realized that Ray himself actually was nowhere near as critical about Debra's job as a housewife as Marie was. Sure he may makes few jabs once in a while about her cooking (due to being spoiled rotted with perfection food while growing up) but outside of that he didn't seem to think she was even doing a bad job. He couldn't cares less if the house was a bit messy (which is honestly expected considering that they had three young kids running around the house, especially in the early seasons) instead of spotless. Also, outside of questioning few choices or opinions, he also seem normally confident that Debra is a good mother. He knows that she got her hands full with the kids and his parents while he is at work. He doesn't really expects her to be exactly like Marie in the role. He even tried to tell Marie that the family was doing fine when she made it sounds like they were living in such a horrible way in "Win Lose or Draw" which she did not listen. He flat out said in "Wallpapers" that he doesn't feels that Marie will listen to him which is the actual main reason why he doesn't wastes his breath with her. Sure, he may enjoys the attention and coddling on some level but he does know how she is. Selective obliviousness. Marie sees what she want to see which what makes it so frustrating to the rest of the family. She is so wrapped up in the image of Ray always needing her and that she is the only one who capable of taking care of him that the very idea that Ray himself may not want her over all of the time is practically foreign to her. Ray and Debra aren't perfect or doing huge things for each other but you can still tell that they loves each other through little things. They takes the bad along with the good with each other. For Ray, could he stands his ground more and pick up more of a fight with his parents? Yeah. But if this been going on for years with little results then you do need to choose your battles. Could he tries to set up some kind of boundaries with his parents? Sure but who knows if they'll listen or actually follows through it. Could he tries to lighten Debra's load and stand up for her more? Yeah but honestly he can't do much about at least the parents' situation since they are going to do what they want to do. They just have to deal with the situation. As for Debra, could she be more understanding that Ray is in a hard place with his parents? Of course. Could she not focus on the little mistakes that he makes as much? Of course. Could she handles her emotions better? Of course. That is the point. They are real humans with flaws. They don't makes all of the right choices. They don't always appreciates the little things in life. They don't always say the right things. They can get bit nuts about few petty things. The show is a over dramatic about real situations that the writers had with their own families. It doesn't means that they don't loves them. So, it is not unreasonable to think that we're just seeing Ray and Debra at their worst on the bad days. The show would be pretty boring if they are always so loving and understanding with one another. Instead of focusing on the negatives why don't you look at this as inspiring and positive? Why not say wow, these two went through lot yet are still happily married at the end of the day?

I doubt he write the epsiodes, it says the show is based on his comedy, this doesn't mean he writes them, even stand up comedians hire writers no way a tv show has only one writer and the writer is the main character.

True. We had a small kitchen fire a few years back. A lot smaller than the one in this video and after putting it out the entire kitchen was filled up with the smoke almost instantly.

The fire was actually real, set on fire by the stove, lighting the tissue, which lit the flammable ant spray Ray sprayed the kitchen with earlier on. They talked about it on the DVD commentary. All one take. Though I believe they did it twice (it’s been awhile since I listened to the commentary). But it was all real, and it really had it be put out by Patricia Heaton.

Oh, brother ...

You need to get out sometime

In this show everybody is displayed badly, this is one of those disfunctional family shows. You have to look for respectful strong male caharacters in other show.

Bingo!!!!! Hated this scene! To fully complete the writers narrative ... tht the women truimps the idiot man all Debra needed to do was carry Ray out in her hands , and him saying my hero (disgusting)🤦🏿 #blessed

Actually believes it or not, Ray isn't the worst example. He never cheated, provided for his family financially, always comes home to Debra no matter how crazy the family get and in his own way shown several times to be there for his family at the end of the day even if he do some questionable things.

heard only sailors. Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.

Everybody has flaws. He's not a bad person.

Makes for good comedy

Bad husband, bad father...

@@malehlohonolo8463 How do you know he's a bad father when the kids are barely on the show?

That’s what happens when you go your whole life being spoiled; you can’t take criticism and when an emergency happens you don’t have any common sense on what to do.

His main character trait is he lives a fully sheltered life, his mommy helps him when he is in trouble and he is in his 40's. He is not stupid, he is just a child.

Stop watching these videos then, he is the main character.

Me too. I never like him

The premise of the show. :)

Are you one of those internet tough guys? The guy can't walk into the house without bending, he has his muscles appropriate to his hight, he would not be the one end with multiple black eyes.

What makes you think they don't applaud to the scene?
