Painfully hilarious Pete Smith Specialty has DAVE O'BRIEN as the man of the house driving his wife insane with his totally inept attempt to fix things.
She's a dreamy-eyed lass until he leaves for work and she discovers a mess in the bedroom and the kitchen, along with a note reminding her to get his shoes cleaned "because I'm so particular." Thoughtful hubby doesn't want to awake her in the morning so he tiptoes around until he can't keep the door behind him shut. He slams it with all his might and naturally she's given a rude awakening.
Other skits are devoted to "The Constant Loser" who can't find anything without her help, "The New Hat" in which he fails to compliment her on a new hat but it's the first thing he notices about his next-door neighbor, and "Breakfast Grouch" in which she becomes so irritated that she pushes a grapefruit into his face.
My favorite is the handyman segment, where he tries to put a nail in the wall for drapes and makes a mess of the kitchen area.
Final skit has her making the wrong play during a card game, which drives him over the top--but once again, she has the last laugh.
Funny stuff, extremely well acted and written by Dave O'Brien himself.
