Ain’t that the truth….. I watch television very rarely these days. I was a kid watching Flip Wilson and I used to mimic him. My parents were laughing so hard!!!! Good Times!
Nowadays, if you act like he did doing his Geraldine, people would be screaming that he’s racist!! But Flip was black, so people would be screaming that his guests were racist for being white!
@@stephanielekas583It's not about it being clean imo. I'm sure there are clean comedians today. The issue now is political correctness. This would be seen as highly offensive.

Flip was hilarious, an these guys was on the edge of losing it in this skit. Good memories , an awesome comedy is the legacy of flip Wilson. U couldn’t watch his skits without cracking up.
Always loved how Geraldine made it clear there are boundaries and don’t cross them. And always appreciated that Flip, a guy dressed as a woman got it, said it and kept saying it. RIP and know you are still missed 💐
I have it album to. Bought it many many years ago that's one of my all-time favorites. Flip Wilson was one of the all-time greatest comedians. I sure miss him
I have post this before But you know Flip Wilson was Great Actor and he was a very Handsome man but when he plays Geraldine Jones 😂 she is a Very Attractive Lady 🌹 RIP Flip Wilson And Miss Geraldine Jones 🕊️❤️🕊️ Missing ya
Hee-hee. Our nephew was given the Flip Wilson doll for a Christmas present. We made fun of it when he brought it to a family get together. Then we started to pull the string. We wore it out. "If I had known you were coming, I would have stayed home." or "I smell a fish and the wind is coming from your direction." Loved Flip Wilson, Tim Conway.
Ahh back when you could smoke everywhere. Tv shows when Johnny Carson did it all the time. Airplanes were equipped with ashtrays. Heck I can even remember when you could buy Tylenol with Codeine over the counter!
I love Flip Wilson! He was so funny--and didn't use foul language and vulgarities. Genuinely a very funny man who was so underrated. I used to watch his show and really enjoyed it. I don't think he ever got the recognition he so richly deserved as a superb comedian. Someone who seems like he was a great guy in real life.
I can really relate to the Outfits that was worn back then.. They're back NOW... He was just Hilarious.. Also...he had major celebrities on each of his skits...
Geraldine had all the latest fashions and expensive boots many women would’ve given their right eye for. It wasn’t technically integral to the character. I wonder who it was that insisted on Geraldine’s wardrobe being so hip.
< still can't believe that Burt turned down Sally Field, married Loni Anderson, divorced Loni, and years later, when he was old and broken down, tried to win Sally back over. she didn't take the tired, old, worn out bait.
@@poohbearsauntie At one point he was the top box office draw in America and obviously hugely successful but he enjoyed himself a I little too much ,just because women throw themselves at you ,it doesn't mean you should catch them , especially if you're not single ...
Good grief. You told a lie. The thinking is simply, don't put adult humor, including drag queens in front of children. Allow them to keep their innocence.
LOL We don't want those perverts around our kids! Have you actually seen those "shows" or at least photos from them? It's nothing REMOTELY like a Flip Wilson character.
@@SR-iy4ggOh shush! There are plenty of clean Drag acts still around. It’s just that drag has branched out and became so much more than comedy. They’re even doing music now which is why things are more adult oriented. Also, calling them all pervert based on a few viral incidents that the right wing media completely blew to proportions is kinda ignorant.
Funny how no one freaked out about drag when it was Flip Wilson who did it. How about Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon and bob Hope and on and on . Drag was a not big deal, what is it now. OH the GOP is full of hate. that is the difference.
@@billhosko7723Ok but this is still DRAG though. You just called this DRAG performance a classic that you probably watched as a kid yourself. But now y’all wanna shield them from it all of a sudden?

There are plenty of PG Drag Queens out there who do all types of classic skits such as this.
Back then, for a man to impersonate a woman was strictly for comic effect. There was a time when women weren't allowed to perform on stage, preteen boys played female parts. Flip was arrow straight.
@@michelefritchie6198 BELIEVE ME I KNOW..🤨.. I was raised in the 60's and '70's .Crossdressing was something actors did in a comedy sketch..and nothing more than that.

Flip Wilson as Geraldine was always a delight! So funny!
R.I.P to BURT REYNOLDS,TIM CONWAY and FLIP WILSON.back when tv was worth watching.
That's true now its balony

The world had a better sense of humour "back in the day".
RIP and thanks for the wonderful memories Mr. Wilson, Mr. Conway and Mr. Reynolds.
She was a rockstar! Thank you Flip for making this happen-you broke and set boundaries and rewrote them. Right on!
You know you are the best (Flip) when you can make Burt Reynold break simply with you entrance, and make the 'unbreakable' Tim Conway crack up.
*your entrance
Burt was laughing as Geraldine strutted up. Conway was working hard not to.
how they got through this skit without totally losing it amazes me
I’m sure they had their moments of totally😂losing it during rehearsal.
Tim Conway almost lost it .
Amazing talent! One of a kind! Flip Wilson! 🥰
Geraldine’s entrance with that music is HILARIOUS 🤣
Burt already laughing from the start.
Flip was hilarious, an these guys was on the edge of losing it in this skit. Good memories , an awesome comedy is the legacy of flip Wilson. U couldn’t watch his skits without cracking up.
Tim had met his match.
Flip is amazing 😆
I'm with you Claude!!
AMAZING simply Amazing
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I always watched Flip Wilson Show and loved the Gearldine skits in the 70s !
Always loved how Geraldine made it clear there are boundaries and don’t cross them. And always appreciated that Flip, a guy dressed as a woman got it, said it and kept saying it. RIP and know you are still missed 💐
Burt Reynolds was already laughing before the sketch started. As Flip himself said his show was so popular in Canada it played 52 weeks a year!
😂😂😂😂😂👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I don't understand. Is that a joke, because there ARE 52 weeks in a year.
Hilarious, he is greatly missed 🤣, rip to this icon and legend
Geraldine Jones was the absolute greatest! The most real! I love her!
Geraldine has nicer legs then I do lol
That was my thought as well! I am jealous and I definitely could not wear any of Geraldine's outfits.
I have the album, "The Devil Made Me Buy This Dress" and the turntable to play it on. I got it for Christmas years ago. Thank you Santa Claus.
I have it album to. Bought it many many years ago that's one of my all-time favorites. Flip Wilson was one of the all-time greatest comedians. I sure miss him
"You cain't discover us! You cain't discover people if they don't wanna be discovered!"
Flip Wilson’s comedic prowess was truly a gift. His Geraldine was genius. I remember LMAO as a child watching him. And, even now, I still LMAO!😂
First time I've seen Tim break with anyone other than Harvey. All three were having fun.
❤️Flip Wilson & of course Ms. Geraldine❤️

All of them actually went to the great comedy show in the sky. Those were actually you call clean comedy show back then?

Flip Wilson was so funny especially as Geraldine 😅❤
I loved this show! It never gets old! Have they ever done a Flip Wilson biography movie? If not, they need to get Wayne Brady to play him.
Lelee you had me till the end. No to wayne. He cool but no. I'm not sure at this moment who would be a good fit but no not Wayne.😂
Tracy Morgan @@jaeboogie2786
You could tell Burt Reynolds was about to "LOSE IT" a few times!!!! HaHa!!!!
Oh yeah!!!!
I would have lost it many times. 😂
2023. Thanks, Flip. How could he know...😄
Tim made Harvey bust out laughing all those years and the favor was returned. Burt had his moments too not to lose it
Lol I don’t know why I laughed when “Geraldine” said don’t cry Bruce I want to go with you but he says I can’t. It hit me so funny.
🤣🤣🤣 Me too
I love it when he drops his purse! Deadpan.

Geraldine/Flip Wilson. Loved his show. Saw every episode
Ahh back when you could smoke everywhere. Tv shows when Johnny Carson did it all the time. Airplanes were equipped with ashtrays. Heck I can even remember when you could buy Tylenol with Codeine over the counter!
I wonder if Frank Oz patterned Miss Piggy from Geraldine? A lot of similarities there! Lol!

She's the original Shenene and Myra on Martin.😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣
You gotta be kidding! Sorry honey, Geraldine is a timeless CLASS ACT!
"Face it Bruce, it's all over between us."
it's great seeing tim conway trying not to break character & laugh. i would have lost it entirely
The innocence in Geraldine, "I wanna go with you Bruce, but he said I can't" is priceless
i friggin died at her intro, yo lol Peace
Love me some Geraldine Jones,lol
Me tooooooo 😃👏❤️🌹
Remember when the U.S. had a sense of humour?😅😅😅
Ah, "chorus girl" pardon the pun. Just got it!
I can really relate to the Outfits that was worn back then..
They're back NOW...
He was just Hilarious..
Also...he had major celebrities on each of his skits...
Back where? I've never seen anyone dressing like that today.
The truth nothing but the truth in the Name of Geralldine Jones Laughter for Life ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love his: “I’ll take the booth in the back in the dark in the corner" (GG in HB)
NAH. Here is the original Flip Wilson quote:
"I want the boof in d'back, in d'corner, in d'dark!"
I think she is just great!🤣🤩
AWESOME simply Awesome
Miss Geraldine Jones 😂
I loved Flip Wilson. A real gentleman. ❤
Good stuff back in the days 😻😁

Burt Was At His BEST.
Tim looks like benny hill 😜
Flip. You are so my Rosie Paris. Girl is a legend. I know and... Also. I know. Xxxxx
😅🤣 This still makes me laugh. Tho know the characters and the men is magic. I truly have lived through the right era of, music, actors and comedy.
"When men were MEN....and boys were scared. Lol
You mean like San Francisco, where women are women -- and half the men are, too !??

Again, please explain to me why these red states are trying to outlaw drag shows? It’s such a classic form of entertainment. Flip was the greatest!

He could just call himself one today.
