Lol😂, I have a cute true story to tell here: When my kids were young, they got into an argument, each one insisting I loved the other one more, to which I responded, "Yes, that's right-I love each one of you more than the other one". My son said to his sister, " Yeah, see? I toldja-" then turned to me & said "MOM, that don't make any sense!!" To which I calmly replied, "Well, it makes just as much sense as you two do. Now knock it off!!" 😁😁 Love you, Tommy, more than your brother😘.
We need more reruns including Pat Paulsen. So frustrated with choices in , I think, 72, I voted for him. Now Pat better choice in reality than what dems give us.
It's almost a direct line from Mark Twain to Will Rogers to Ogden Nash to Tommy Smothers. Potent American Absurdism. I'm hopeful someone picks up the baton.
Dickie was all business and the straight man but Tommy was the comedic genius behind it all. Never a cuss word. Never a sexual innuendo. Super clean comedy I grew up watching with the family on a 60’s 29” Magnavox black and white stereo console. On one end was the Am/Fm receiver and on the other was an LP record player and both ends with big speakers. It had a distinctive smell from the tubes warming up when you turned it on. On another note… it had a 2 button remote for volume and channel. Funny thing was that we had a big glass coffee table and if you dropped your pocket change onto the glass top it would randomly change the channel when the tv was on. I loved the 60’s as a kid and the Smothers Brothers too!
Never an innuendo? Try their albums! Start with the Intermission Bit on Golden Hits. i barely remember the show but my family had most of their albums and they were a lot of fun to grow up with. Jokes a 3-year-old gets that still cause a 60-year-old to collapse in giggles, while some of the quieter lines acquired new significance as i got older. Work your way round to the fun Tom had after Dick's wedding, or a very beautiful and exciting song about a girl who's six months poignant...
Being a straight man is a huge, hard comedic job and their work was full of inuendo, to sex, drugs, and depravity. What in God's name are you talking about?
I've been so sad that Tommy passed away. I wish I could have talked to him if only one time to tell him how much the Smothers Brothers meant to me growing up during the years they were on CBS. They never lost the humor that I loved. Watching Tommy doing YoYo man was classic Smothers Brothers. I'm missing Tommy already and I am sure Dickie is especially missing him. They were the best comedy team pushing the barriers of television until CBS censored their own award winning comedy team. William Paley was weak to have done that.
Tommy talked about the "emotional residuals" they received from fans like you and me. People would come up to them and tell them how much they meant to us. He never grew tired of the "You changed my life "stories. I personally did this to Tommy's dear friend Mason Williams and he told me how they all appreciated hearing this. So Tommy knew how you felt.
@@nancysonneman1530 He's fine. He's healthy, very healthy. He was actually the stronger personality and did a lot of therapy and personal growth work. He's quite resilient. There seems to be a bit of distance between Tom's family and Dickie right now. There are questions about who got what master tapes etc.
@@nancysonneman1530 I've tried to reply but it won't take. I'll try again. He's good, he's fine. He's resilient and in good shape, fit and healthy. Losing 3 family members in such a short time is tough but of all the family members he was the most likely to be able to handle it.
I just "discovered" them a few hour's ago and have been watching multiple video's since! I was born in the mid 80's and am now upset that I don't recall my mother or grandmother watching them. 😂 Unfortunately they're both gone. So I can't ask them about them. Even so, I've never been so happy to come across a "random video" on UA-cam. I swear, I was born in the wrong generation.
Never found these two funny at all. Of course I thought counter culture folks has good intentions, unfortunately once reality or a rational thought appeared, temperament, hypocrisy would set in.
Oh it hurts to know that Tommy is no longer with us. I loved him and Dicky. They were originals. No other act like them. Absolutely brilliant.
😢
True!!!!
I guess heaven loved Tommy best. ❤
The Smothers Brothers are like everyone we love--we're lucky to be able to love.
RIP Tommy. You always made me laugh over the years.

Smothers brothers kept things at a level we "normal" folks can understand and appreciate clearly. No obscenity needed, just humanity.
@richkelly7166 yes. Funny, real, and clean.
Good, Clean, Old Time Comedy Indeed...
They look like babies! So young! My whole family watched this back in the day.
They did look so young! Thanks for tuning in--again.
Still fresh today !
Loved & looked forward to these shows when I was 9. I especially loved Pat Paulson. ❤❤❤❤

This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen!!!!
Have watched these brilliant comics since they started in the 60s; still laugh just as hard seeing them again after all these years.
RIP Tommy
whenever they did their mom liked you best routine it made me laugh everytime
*every time
I used to listen to their comedy albums with my mom when I was a kid. Damn I'm old lol
What a great memory, though!
@@TheSmothersBrothersShow Very much so. I lost her in 2008 so the memories are all i have. Ty for this

🐓so funny!

@@David-yw2lv Thank you. I had forgotten his name.
I love Tom. I pray he rests in peace
RIP Tom ...
Tom's mom liked him best - because he was!!!
Dick is 😮still living as fsr as i know❤
Love them 😢
A friend and I did this skit for a junior high talent show.
It's funny how Tommy implies he's the younger brother. In actuality, he was older than Dickie by almost two years.
unbeatable
RIP Tommy.. from your far relatives 😔
🩷🙏
Thrse guys were a modern "Abbott and Costello".
Brothers take note.

@@MrsRosencranz1 I wish I could find out how Dick is taking Tom's death. It's been three months, but still...

You’re in the right place! Great comedy is timeless! We’re glad you’re getting so much out of the Smothers Brothers.
My family, siblings and parents would watch them. I was young and thought Pat Paulson was a real candidate....for awhile
Tommie Smothers is a very talented Man……….What a Comedian……..If you do not see his comic genius you Are not listening ……….
My 9 year od grandson thinks the Smothers Brothers are very funny. His 62 year old grandpa thinks they're pretty funny too.😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😮😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
R.I.P yoyo man... Disco still sucks

Tommy has passed away.
Not to sound like the grammar police, but Tom should have said "Mom liked you better".
Liberal extreme radical Democrats
LOL
you'd probably be better entertained by that pants poopin draft dodger Nugent. There's gotta be a video of that schmuck on here somewhere....
The prevalence of ignoramuses in the world is even greater than I imagined.
And PROUD of it!
Yup. Jealous?
Rebels? Interesting assessment if admit their culture laid the foundation to this woke society in which we now live in.
No more Woke. Trump won big time!!!! Woke is history

Wonder why you watched them??
