It seems a lot of people still have trouble understanding the joke. So I'll try to explain it. Sometimes the punchline of a joke is meant to illustrate how something can be misinterpreted due to the way it was worded. Smith is the name of one-legged man, but the person who asks "what's the name of his other leg?" isn't clear on that. Like here's another example: Person 1: Did you know it takes six sheep to make a sweater? Person 2: No. I didn't even know sheep could knit. That of course isn't what the first person meant, but the fact that the second didn't get it is what makes the joke. Hopefully, it's all clearer now.

0:55 OHWIOHWO😂😂😂

dick van dyke played the old man..

best scene.

"Mad as the March Hare" Yet Uncle Albert (played by Ed Wynn) had already played the Mad Hatter years prior

Dick VanDyke has always been top notch… forever. That particular scene, especially as he finally gets the joke, is IMHO, his finest moment. 😂

One of my favorite jokes, even though it's silly.Also,a wonderful movie.

!

Before SpongeBob died laughing

Ohhhh I get it

!

Very messy.

Biblically sound, his father passed with his child like faith! 🥰

A wooden leg named Smith. A wooden leg named Smith. A wooden…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

David Tomlinson was such a treasure to have and a caring wonderful person in real life and went through hell during his time in the War and experience tragedy losing his fellow comrades and of course his first wife and cares so much for people. Loved him in The Love Bug but this is definitely his best work in Mary Poppins

One of the best scenes in Mary Poppins that becomes more meaningful as I grow up as an adult with responsibilities. One thing I noticed recently is that George was actually listening to the children when they told him about the outings with the chalk painting and the merry go round and that snapper of a joke. He just couldn’t express it to them at the time when they were so full of excitement, but it mattered most when he did to call out the stuffy cold establishment. Also that he would fly a kite bringing the whole thing full circle from when he was so strict at the beginning. 🥹

Dawes Sr. died a happy man

BANKS DON’T YOU DARE STRIKE MY FATHER

Watched this the other night and it’s been I’d say, since 1984 since I first seen it. Almost 40 years. Wow

Take That (Laughs)

*Achievement unlocked: Redemption*

What was that about oh brother

Amazing

Saw this when I was five at a drive in. magical!!!

2:10 Dick Van Dyke certainly had a way of laughing in the air, like he did with Ed Wynn (poor Uncle Albert, too)! And Dawes Jr.'s cries for help, always made me burst out laughing, myself, when I watched this numerous times, except that I couldn't fly in the air, either!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow Navckid Keyd hasn't aged a day!

He was so off key when he sung it, but that makes it better along with his cheerful exit

From Mary Poppins 1964

He died laughing

The joke is about a man with a wooden leg named Smith, meaning the man's name was Smith, his wooden leg didn't have a name.

He'd given his life for this bank, his hours, his purpose, his soul. It was his identity, and it he lost it all for two pence. That's when the walls of rigid identity collapsed and he saw it didn't matter. None of it mattered. Not the bank, not the pence, and not the unbending system designed to keep it up. The thing he should have fought for all along was the family he had to begin with. This is the moment when he realized he didn't lose anything at all, and his immense frustration and fear shattered in pure relief. Have your two cents. Have your bank, my job. Have it all, and a joke to go along with it, because that's all this is, a joke! He still had everything to go home to and nothing could take that away. It shatters the mind a little to go through this so fast. That's why he says "there's no such thing as *you.*" This old man with such power... had no power at all. All the silliness that he'd dismissed brought actual joy and value. This little moment doesn't have the quite the color of the other moments, but its the most important moment.

I don't get it.

Dick Van Dyke: a wooden leg...named Smith... A wooden... leg... (When he got it) xDDDDD So EPIC

Ok, just let it clear. George killed his boss. :D

My last comment 3 years ago I have no idea what I was guessing Tinkerbell has nothing to do with this movie but I'm glad you replied Aiden made me watch that scene again so funny after I probably saw that in like 1964

I LOVE TO LAUGH!!!

The First Genital Joke told on Disney.

i felt bad for Mr. Dawes Jr. when he was crying as he saw his father dying from laughing

I’m a 50 year old man and I still love this movie and tear up at the end. Every time.

Love his face at 1:57 when he finally gets the joke

Mr Dawes Jr is such a crybaby because his dad can’t come down.

What's the track ID at @21:50?

Thee ad is singing

The sad thing about this scene is that, that was probably the first time in years Mr Dawes Sr laughed and it was to be his last. As Mr Dawes Jr said "father died laughing".

This my word sir

DVD died laughing

Omg Hysterical! It was funny as a kid watching this scene… as an adult, I’m hysterical knowing more of the world and how funny this scene actually is. I love it! Theme of the whole movie seems to be “getting back that childhood joy” and not losing your soul to the world demands. In the end, the oldest characters dies with gaining back his childhood joy in a single joke.

Mary Poppins was right it dose make you feel better

I might pop through a chalk pavement picture or go for a outing in the country or I might seize a horse on a merry go round & win the derby or I might just fly a kite only Poppins would know

It turns out, with due respect, when all is said and done, that there's no such thing as you! A perfect description of the banks
