Could you explain that joke for me? I need slides. What I understand is that it's suppose to sound like what you read in comics. Like, WAAHHH!!! and POOOOWWW!!! But it's possible there is some backstory I'm unaware of.
@@keeploving5850Don’t think too hard, you’ll hurt yourself. It’s all right there, no inside baseball. Just fun silliness. Unless you’re unAmerican and never heard a high school cheerleader say, “rah rah rah, sis boom bah..”. If you don’t know American culture then I guess you wouldn’t get the reference.
@@wfk3rd I am American US citizen and I know some things, just not this. I've never heard cheerleaders say that stuff. Maybe that's because I never watch sports or just not pay attention to what the cheerleaders say, but how they cheer. 😄😬 I still don't get the funniness of a sheep exploding sound being a happy encouraging cheerful sis boom ba. I know Johnny Carsons humor is way smarter than this. So, I must be missing something here. I think the word boom is the part of the joke. 🤷 But why a sheep? I almost broke my skull thinking too hard. Alright, man. I'll stop.
It really is so funny. I love watching Ed gets so silly. I wish I could see the one because they go on with that laughing for quite some time and everybody sings to cut it off. Life is good.
Seeing these clips of Carnak the Magnificent take me back to nighttime TV that was great. Johnny Carson and Ed MacMahon were the funniest comic pair ever. Love it when they both started laughing.😄😄
The Best Carnac line I ever heard was from a show around 1980. "From Here To Eternity and Here's Boomer....." "What are two bad names for a laxative......"
In college, I had a bit I did that paid homage to Carson's humor. My character was "Vernac the Mediocre". Here's a sample... "Pokemon" (ripped open an envelope) "What is a Jamaican proctologist called?"
Still love the great one where the piece of paper that lists all the answers that Johnny glances at before reading the envelope went missing. He said something to Ed, who walked off set, but still said it loud enough for the mic "He doesn't have the answers"
Fantastic!...Miss CARSON SHOW!...Girl"that's 36 -28 & 9 her measurements!...Sis Boom Bah....when a sheep explodes!....still LAUGHING 30 yrs later !..Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
They should have shown it when they pulled a trick on Johnny, they replaced the real table with a fake prop table, and when he fake tripped on the Step he went to catch himself on the table and it collapsed! 🤣
Everybody talks about howgreat Jhonny and Ed were. I think the third member of this trio is missing. Doc Severacen was Johnny's music director. You dont see him or hear him that much but you know he's there when the music starts.
Rich Little did his impression of this, and he had a good one: "A single and a double. Twenty-five cents. And Dolly Parton." (opens the envelope.) "Name two hits, two bits, . . . . ."
The funniest one I remember as a kid was His prediction: .. something.. the Hokey Pokey The card: What's the worst way to clean your toilet? Carnac: You put your left leg in and you shake it all about. 😂😂😂
I was watching that first Carnac. Saw Lenny Bruce show up, LOADED, incomprehensible as so often. Carson nervous throughout, "Don't say anything bad, Lenny!" Only standup available then, on TV. Saw Carlin, early black comic.... not many.
I was missing why cis boom baa was so extraordinarily hilarious- the boom baa I got, I figured it must have been something to the cis that makes it funny. So it's a fuse sound- Still, the others seemed much funnier, this was a bit of an anticlimactic close.
The uncontrollable laughter from Ed and Johnny after the Sis Boom Bah joke was priceless !!!
Always loved that joke
Literally a minute. And it took him 15 seconds to get it out.

We were all blessed to have these two on our screens for 30 wonderful years. Never will be equaled

I sure miss those guys. May they rest in peace.
What's fantastic about Carson's "Carnac the Magnificent".....here it is several decades later, AND THE JOKES STILL WORK!!!!
Sis Boom Bah was the greatest Carnac joke ever, but "V8" right after that was pretty great, too.
The writers for that show were brilliant and Carson’s delivery will never be equaled
"Sis Boom Bah" from August of 1981. Considered the greatest Carnac ever!
This is pure gold, Johnny Carson is still the King of Late Night!!
"May Randy Newman write a song about your sex organ." Gold.
In college, I had a bit I did that paid homage to Carson's humor. My character was "Vernac the Mediocre". Here's a sample...
"Pokemon"
(ripped open an envelope)
"What is a Jamaican proctologist called?"
Rimshot😂
The worse the joke, the funnier the response. He could never bomb!
Without a doubt(at least to me), THE BEST CARNAC skit was when he was headed for the desk, tripped, AND DESTROYED THE DESK!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
These stand the test of time...
I group of us were watching the night of the last one. Ssss-boom-bah. We laughed our heads off. It's still funny!
My favorite reading was "Fee Fi, Fee Fi, Fee Fi Fo...answer is "What is Mike Tyson's phone number! I was in stitches!!!
That's a great one that I'd never seen/heard before!
Miss this show As a kid this was my favorite part of the show
A Master at his craft! No one does it better!
Pure gold...
Yes!! Awesome that was a brilliant sketch
My favourite Carnac curse “may a diseased yak drag his loins through your soup”
“May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.”
My dad's favorite we loved watching this together
Envelope to head: "Mount Baldy." Opens envelope: "What do you call playing horsey with Don Rickles"
What did Yule Brynner’s wife do on their wedding night?
That's funny I just watched the whole episode the other day. where Carnac said the sis boom bah joke. and couldn't stop laughing.
Damn, this was amazing! Pure gold!
Still love the great one where the piece of paper that lists all the answers that Johnny glances at before reading the envelope went missing. He said something to Ed, who walked off set, but still said it loud enough for the mic "He doesn't have the answers"
Baja: "How do sheep laugh"? 😂😂😂😂

I always loved the great Carnac.
This style of editing is better than I thought it would be.
@08:16 Oddly appropriate joke for modern day 2023, yet originally conceived in 1974.
Sis-boom-baa is absolutely THE best one
I agree.
Omg! The deja vu!
The absolute master of the medium.
it's a wonder these 2 could get through that bit at all, good times...
Here's one I came up with, "Howard Hughes and Lindsey Lohan"💨"Name a recluse and a loose wreck"
..this my favorite returning Carson skit
shish boom bah! What do you get when a sheep explodes!
Gilligan, the Skipper and Chief Wiggum... _opens envelope_ Name three castaways. *HEY-YO!*
The Sis Boom Ba joke, has too be the absolute best Carnac the Magnificent joke.
Thank you!!!
The girl with something extra-LEGENDARY!
Good stuff. The best for last.
They should have shown it when they pulled a trick on Johnny, they replaced the real table with a fake prop table, and when he fake tripped on the Step he went to catch himself on the table and it collapsed! 🤣
The Chris Farley SNL, "Living in a Van" sketch where he destroyed the coffee table... that was not a break away... just Farley tonnage.

I was watching CNN and George Conway made a gestured remark about Karnak. I don't think this generation knows this.

I remember one night Johnny blew into the envelope and a puff of baby powder (or something close) came out and sprayed him. He was not amused.
Circa 1984:
Answer: "One sequined white glove"
Question: "What's a fashion must for the well-dressed proctologist?"
Rich Little did his impression of this, and he had a good one:
"A single and a double. Twenty-five cents. And Dolly Parton."
(opens the envelope.)
"Name two hits, two bits, . . . . ."
YES, O GREAT ONE!
HEYYYYYY-OHHHHHHHHH!
Anybody got video of...
"First base glove, catchers mitt....grand slam and home run...Dolly Parton"
The genius of Carson is that the jokes are corny but no one cares, they are still funny.

Why fade-out...fade-in? Just show the clip.
It's a collection of clips. Otherwise, it'd be jumping from one clip to the next. The fades make the transitions smoother.
