"My Favorite Orkan" is the 23rd episode of the fifth season of the television sitcom Happy Days, making it the 110th episode overall. It is notable for occurring during the shark-jumping season of the show's run, as well as introducing Robin Williams to a larger audience. The actor's popular appearance in this episode led to the spin-off series Mork & Mindy, which was based on his character.
Ralph, Potsie, and Chachi enter Arnolds and sit at a booth saying he (Richie) is cracking up. Richie arrives, saying "Fonz I think I saw a Flying Saucer" with Fonzie calling him a nutso, and humdrum.
Richie returns home to find his family has gone to the movies. Someone knocks on the door and Richie says to come in. The visitor is dressed in red wearing a helmet on his head and has a triangle on his shirt (which turns out to be a spacesuit). The visitor speaks very strangely and Richie thinks it is Ralph pulling a prank. Mork points his finger at the television set and destroys it and Richie realizes it is not Ralph and the person reveals himself as an alien from Ork.
Richie panics. The Orkan says he does not mean any harm but Richie does not trust him. The alien asks him, "Are you Richie Cunningham?" Richie says, "Yes." The Orkan asks him, "Is this your house?" Richie also says, "Yes." The space creature introduces himself as Mork from Ork. He shakes hands with Richie, who says his friends thought he was crazy. Richie asks Mork, "Can you come down to Arnold's?" Mork replies, "No".
Mork puts his helmet down on the floor by the chair and puts his head on the chair and his butt into the air and Richie tells Mork how he is supposed to sit. Mork sits in the chair correctly and Richie asks him some questions and Richie asks him if he has ever been to New York and tells Mork that it is just a little earth humor which causes Mork to laugh. Mork asks Richie "what is that yellow stick?" Richie tells Mork that it is a pencil and humans use it to write Richie asks Mork what he uses and he says that he uses his finger.
Richie ask Mork, "What is the purpose on your visit to earth?" Mork tells him that he is trying to collect Spiceimen. Richie asks him if he is going to take Hank Aron (the President) but Mork tells Richie that he would have to trade the entire planet just to do that so he tells him he needs someone average...humdrum Richie says he knows somebody that is humdrum and Mork asks him if he needs a hint and he and Richie start singing Blueberry Hill.
