The joy of impending fatherhood, 10 October 2002
9/10
Author: vlharker (vlharker@aol.com) from New Jersey

When his wife tells him she's pregnant Joe McDoakes becomes an emotional wreck. At first he is on top of the world, but when the moment arrives and they go to the hospital he is in such a panic that he is taken into the psychopathic ward. Another terrific comedy short made by George O'Hanlon.
