You made a radio out of a coconut but can’t make glue and use all these trees to patch up the boat?
(Bob Denver, Alan Hale Jr. and Russell Johnson)

Haha, nice one.
FINALLY someone on that island gets a clue!
It’s a little lame…
Yeah i’ve heard this joke at least a dozen timse before this post.
They tried to make glue out of heated tree sap, and it turned out to dissolve in water. (Season One Episode Three)
I’m probably butchering my very old memories of it, but didn’t it actually act like a spring and send the attached object flying in the opposite direction?
Regardless, I bow to your command of Gilligology – I had completely forgotten about it until you said something.
Eh, forgot to turn on Gravatar.
Of course, there is one easy solution to all the illogic: Go with the urban-legendary interpretation that the castaways actually drowned in the first episode. They all represented one or more of the mortal sins, the island was Hell, and Gilligan was really the Devil keeping them there.
Whoa dude!
Godot died.
Then I can stop waiting?
I always noted that Gilligan prevented them from leaving the island and getting back to the rest of humanity more in line with Abbadonna, the Angel of the Pit.
Well, since most of the pages I’ve seen that contain this joke use “And he always wore red” as a justification…
I hereby pronounce you the most qualified to speak on the subject, by a wide margin. Abbadon he is. (^_^)
If hell is being stuck on a tropical island with ginger and mary-ann sign me up.
Well when it dissolved everything fell apart so violently that yes, pieces of the boat did go flying in all directions.
And actually to fix my own mistake it didn’t dissolve in water; it dried up after three days.
Yeah, I’ve heard a few comedians make this same joke. It’s always the coconut radio they use too, not the pedal-powered washing machine or the perfectly level pool table, or the wicker record player (or, for that matter, the records).
Interestingly, Russell Johnson himself is credited as the first person to make this joke back in the 70s
LOST is the best island show. And yeah, I just made up a genre.
Kat H’s comment got me curious enough to search for the episode. For anyone else with too much time on their hands:

I have noticed several plot problems with that show. Like Ginger and Maryann always walked normally.
As opposed to… ? =/
(I did rewatch the last half just now, but not the whole thing.)
*facepalm*
Two attractive females and one “mature” lady, 4 men, do I need to draw a Diagram?
Ohhhhh, okay… because it was a reply, I thought it was specifically wrt that single episode. I was completely befuddled what the glue would have to do with the girls walking normally, unless they glued their legs together. (Might have been a good idea for Ginger.)
Didn’t realize until now that it was general commentary. (^_^) But for the record, make that 2 attractive available females and 1 unattached male. Mr. Howell had Lovey, Gilligan had the gorilla that kept kidnapping him, and the Skipper had Gilligan.)
And there is a reason the girls always called the Professor “Anacondaboy.”
They made coconut glue on an episode. Patched the boat up. The glue lost all strength after a while, and Gilligan was left holding a steering wheel. There ya go.
Yes, thank you for stealing Robin Williams material without attribution.
Robin Williams is notorious for stealing other people’s material.
Been said a thousand times, but still SOOOOO true!
Old joke is old.
Fixed boat = end of series. If the boat was fixed, the series would have to end and no one wants that.
Two reasons not to leave the island so soon:
1. Mary Ann
2. Ginger
Wouldn’t that be four reasons? Ba zing!
did they die?
Not a professor of common sense apparently
Actually, I think the first time that joke was told on air was when Bob Denver recreated the character of Gilligan as a bartender in Back to the Beach in which he complains about having been stranded on an island with a guy who could make a radio out of coconuts but could not fix a hole in a boat. Russell Johnson may well have come up with it originally but I think that movie was the first airing.
it was a hollywood set!!
