In 2013 when I was getting ready to go into the hospital for cancer surgery, I made my kids watch this episode. All they could say was "I didn't know Nana had a tv show". This episode was a reenactment of every time my mother visited someone in the hospital. Makes me roar with laughter.
@@maryrichardson1318 Mary, I had a stressful day at work. Reading this comment has filled me with positivity. I'm glad you're happy and healthy. God Bless x
I remember sitting on the floor in my parent's bedroom with my sibling watching Carol, Lyle, Harvey and Vickie hearing them laughing hysterically. Now I'm 58 and they still make me feel so HAPPY!
I wouldn't jump out the window, but I'd call the nurse, security, ban them from coming back.🤣. No they would be the last ones I'd want to see before surgery. Sad thing is we all them in our families.when they visit I don't answer the door or the phone. If someone let them in, I go to my bedroom and 🔒 lock the door, pretend I'm sleeping. Till they leave. I love them from a distance. Some are a pain in my backside. This episode is halarious. We see why he told the Dr he didn't want to see them. He knew. Yep you know your family, friends and loved ones.😂. Classic episode. I have learned to ignore the idiots in my family. Oh I love them. I don't have to see them.😞🤦😁.🙂👋✌️🖖🦋🌻🌠🌌. VJ.
Mr Smothers looked so cute in that hospital bed . Those shifty eyes and his looks of dismay at his crazy familys remarks were perfect . Vicki Lawrence was always the most well disciplined actor on the show. She was so great on Mamas Family later on . It saddens me to think of Tim Conway and Harvey Korman both being gone now . Carol Burnette Show and Mamas Family will always be two of my all time favorite tv shows .
more peacful? CIA doing coups all over the world installing brutal dictators. vietnam war. student protestors all over campuses across the nation (instead of in jail). i must be missing something.
Good, Clean comedy. No sexual overtones needed. These were the good ole days. The 70's!! Carol Burnett and friends was my favorite program as a child. I believe she was the person who taught me about good, clean comedy! To this day I find myself acting like some of her characters with my grandchildren and they LAUGH! Thank you Carol and friends!
Absolutely! Seems, today, the only way they can get a laugh is by saying something inappropriate. Indeed, these were great times! I'm glad my childhood was in the 70s.
This show is the best. Cast guests and never a dull moment. They are as funny today in the reruns as they were when each episode aired. Love this show.
I don’t know how Vickie Lawrence kept a straight face, she never broke character . They had a gold mine in her, all of the sudden they had mama as a main character
My mother was a very unhappy person rarely laughed or smiled but as a little kid I could hear her laughing hysterically while watching Carol Burnett Show. I wanted to get up and watch what made her laugh.
Funniest comedy sketches ever and you can't find that anymore today. Carol, Vicki, Lyle, Harvey, and Tim were such a genius and funny comedians ever and you can't replace them.
Making Lemonade , I agree. And when I used to watch @amandabynes , I really see some great talent in her and thought she’d be the next Carol Burnett . She still could. I feel the industry pushes them to hard and they don’t seem to allow people to feel free to really use their full talent. It’s sad.
RIP to Tim Conway he was a great actor and a great comedian he'll be forever missed and we'll enjoy the reruns on youtube of his shows and on yes dear..
We used to watch Carol Burnett every Saturday night. I was so thrilled when they did the Mama and Eunice skit. It came on every couple weeks. I only seem to remember the skit being on in the 1970s. I wish they had all the episodes on UA-cam.
Sppll u ttrAnd how many precious Babies I have held. They have wiped tears and snotty nosed and poopy butts... made food to nourish my family and many others. Kept the house lived in clean but not an addict at it. They ache slit now but it was all worth my blessed life. Praise be to God!ron Smith okI635890y 'mmyhi
OMG---TAKES YOU BACK---RIGHT?? This is hilarious!! Brings back such great memories of comedy tv back then. Vicki Lawrence & Carol Burnett are the bomb.
Rachel Alicea IKR I feel sorry for that guy. That family is full of kooks.😫😫😫😫😫 Geez, what vultures!! Then Eunice mentioned his wife cheating on him with a plumber.
I love that Eunice and her terrible mama look at Carol try not to bust out laughing when Vicky starts with the insults Eunice you have slpinters in the windmills of your mind
Have any of you seen the outtake of the Carol Burnett show - “Tim Conway and the elephants”? I was rolling on the floor laughing with tears in my eyes. So funny.
Omg.... that was the most funniest I've seen. U gotta see Tim and Harvey... visit to the dentist! Oh my... Tim Conway is just Gold to crack up his cast mates.
Classic & brilliant. Nothing else like it. Love how it's a longer sketch & they just let it develop more & more as it goes along. Thought Tommy Smothers was really good in this, too. Watched the show every week when it was on. Thank you, Carol & gang!!!!!
😂😂😂. I'm just lounging here laughing my butt off. These episodes are priceless. Last thing you need before any surgery is having a family like this show up telling you how bad you look, your Dr is a quack, your spouse cheating on you. Asking if you made out a will. Lord have mercy. We all have them in our family. If you wasn't worried I doubt if you have a good night sleep.😂🤣🤣. I'm also enjoying The Carol Burnett show on ME TV. I just love Carol. Her shows and Comedy is not only Classic but Priceless. She's a Icon. Lord I'd need a nerve and sleeping after that visit.👍💯❤️👊👊👊👊. Bless you Carol you are one in a million. 🥰🤗🎭📺. One my favorite Queen of Comedy. 😘. Love, respect and positivity always.vee j.🙂👋.
🤣 I cried laughing because this episode reminded me of certain members of my family visiting at the hospital! Especially when security had to be called! Family just can't come to the hospital! I needed this 3 years ago! Eunice and Mama acted like 2 of my sisters! 🤣🤣🤣
This classic comedy sketch is entertaining and funny! This talented classic acting and writing is timeless! Carol Burnett is a treasure! I just love her!
I have all 6 seasons of Mamas Family on DVD... love this show. the skits on Carol Burnett's tv show were long before Mama Family began to air, that's why some of the scenes don't have matching names and Eunice has a different brother, and not Vint.
They represent a time and place in entertainment history where talent and writing will never be duplicated .
The peak of our artistic culture. Sadly. But glad I was alive to appreciate it at the time and we can continue to enjoy it for all time.
Facts
Agreed 💯
I so agree with you. These guys were all absolutely brilliant. I still laugh just as hard 40 years later.

“Tell them I died… Tell them I’m contagious…after I died”

The reaction when Mama strokes Jack's hair and moves his toupee...priceless!
And she did that right about the time I'm thinking, "Dang, Tom seems to have more hair here than what I remember him having."
I believe that kiss he gave to Mama, was Not Scripted
Now I gotta go watch that part again 😂
😂 Mama knocked his toupee off ❤
Still my favorite episode watching January 2024
When comedy was REAL comedy!!!!
I remember sitting on the floor in my parent's bedroom with my sibling watching Carol, Lyle, Harvey and Vickie hearing them laughing hysterically. Now I'm 58 and they still make me feel so HAPPY!
Same here
I watch them over & over. Especially when I'm feeling down. Great medicine. I so miss that show. The only time the family was at Peace.
How did Carol stay so slim when she's eat all that junk food on stage?
Omg...the hair piece!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t forget Tim
If I was in the hospital and had a family like this coming to visit me, I would jump out the window!!!
I'd lock the doors ,sue the doctor for letting them in.
Me too--lol!
I wouldn't jump out the window, but I'd call the nurse, security, ban them from coming back.🤣. No they would be the last ones I'd want to see before surgery.

@@Nigelsmom2136 And throw away the key! I loved this show! What a classic!
One of my favorite episodes!! Eunice auditions for The Gong Show ..
R.I.P. Tommy Smothers.
Just as long as he remembered to tell his cheatin’ waaaf bout that silver!
The Carol Burnett show was what we looked forward to every week!
Yes!!
How great for show announcer Ernie Anderson to play the doctor. Can't mistake that voice!
so true! I've heard that voice many times years ago!
I knew that voice was familiar!
The writers of this show were great and the actors even better. Love it.
Very funny. 😂😊ve
❤❤❤😊😊😂😂❤❤
When he grabbed that toupee I almost choked laughing. Absolutely hilarious!
10:53
and kissed Mama on the mouth
I didnt even know it was a toupee..but then again I really dont know the actor normally doesnt have hair!
Was it supposed to happen or did Vicki accidentally knock it off?
@@jusssayin480 it was an accident... that's why she was trying not to laugh 😂 😂

Vicki, my angel!
Yes he's adorably wholesome
Please, let's bring back some simple times from the 70s, when times were less stressful and a little more peaceful!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
More serial killers back then though. 😂
That what my dad said in the '70s: "Let's bring back the more simple times of the '50s" Every generation yearns for the good ol' days!
more peacful? CIA doing coups all over the world installing brutal dictators. vietnam war.
student protestors all over campuses across the nation (instead of in jail).
i must be missing something.
The further is looking like a waste of time with the new generation unfortunately
You know your characters are popular when the audience applauds when your character walks in.
That doctor's got a great voice !!!
You know it's about to be funny when you start laughing before they start talking. 😂
After all these years the family visit still brings so much laughter.. Love you Carol!! you are timeless!!
Love this show WISH MAMA'S FAMILY BACK ON AGAIN.WE NEED GOOD ,CHEERFUL LAUGHTER TODAY. 🌞
NEVER BREAKING OUT OF CHARACTER AS THE TOUPEE SLIPPED! WHAT A CAST!
Nothing cheers you up like family.
Good, Clean comedy. No sexual overtones needed. These were the good ole days. The 70's!!
Carol Burnett and friends was my favorite program as a child. I believe she was the person who taught me about good, clean comedy! To this day I find myself acting like some of her characters with my grandchildren and they LAUGH! Thank you Carol and friends!
Absolutely! Seems, today, the only way they can get a laugh is by saying something inappropriate. Indeed, these were great times! I'm glad my childhood was in the 70s.
I beg to differ. There were a lot of adult themes injected into the scripts, and it often flew under the radar.
Um, this show was FILLED with sexual overtones. lol Have you watched enough episodes?
Each time I see it I know it’s a classic.
Had to come back to this after hearing of Tom Smothers's death today! RIP❤❤❤
Great scene with Tom Smothers. Always loved the Eunice character. Vicki Lawrence created the perfect Mama persona. Lol love all the cast
Oh lord. When Vicki nearly knocked off Tom's toupee and attempted to fix it. 🤣🤣🤣
Lucy may be the Queen of Sitcoms, but Carol is the Queen of Sketch Comedy.
Who's watching this in 2020???? Classic.....
ME !! I miss the simplicity and absolute genius.... Laughing so hard I'm crying....
We all need a good laugh now
Me!
I've always loved her show. But during this period of crisis, been watching nightly until I fall asleep. 🌷⚘
There could never be a vaccination against this crazy humour, and never should be.
This show is the best. Cast guests and never a dull moment. They are as funny today in the reruns as they were when each episode aired. Love this show.
"Ginny! This is your dead husband! Now what about that plumber?!"
I'm dead. XD
The surgery or any surgery for that matter would be a breeze compared to a visit from moma and Eunice !
That. is the. truth!!!
Good scjhecut
I'd give her the darn silver, move away to the further part of the country.
The Carol Burnett Show was my favorite comedy and there’s no female comedian who can beat Carol even up to now.
LUCY
Lucille Ball was Carol Burnett's mentor!!!!
Talent and writing you won't see again
Gee what a nice comforting little visit from his family...😝😉
Dancing on a cloud! Heaven
I don’t know how Vickie Lawrence kept a straight face, she never broke character . They had a gold mine in her, all of the sudden they had mama as a main character
My mother was a very unhappy person rarely laughed or smiled but as a little kid I could hear her laughing hysterically while watching Carol Burnett Show. I wanted to get up and watch what made her laugh.
I loved how Carol distorts her face- Hilarious!
Her facial expression is priceless when she says " Ira Hawkins can't even talk!!!!!!!🤣
@@goldenlady1213 I like the expression when she says, "Well, I heard he's a butcher."
Too true. My sister used to say to me, "All Carol Burnett has to do is open her mouth and you're rolling on the floor".
@Allen Hetrick And you're a total mark
@Allen Hetrick Damn right I'm happy asf. 😂😂
When Jack's toupee shifted i lost it!!! Even Vicki almost broke character.
Funniest comedy sketches ever and you can't find that anymore today. Carol, Vicki, Lyle, Harvey, and Tim were such a genius and funny comedians ever and you can't replace them.
OMG the way they close in like vultures after the subject of the will comes up!!! 😂😂😂
This is probably my favorite of "The Family" sketches because it's so true-to-life. Sometimes well-meaning visitors do a lot more harm than good!
"Well then just put it aside!" I love Vicki Lawrence! She was hilarious!
She's still alive! Yes, she's amazingly talented.
Agreed!!!!
I watch "The New kids" which has Vicki Lawrence in it. I love that woman she is so funny.
@@gingerspain423 _The Cool Kids_
What makes it all just 'Sing'.. is that they played it completely straight. Absolutely priceless!
Love the Doctor's voice. So old school announcer like. ;-)
That's Ernie Anderson, the show announcer for its final four seasons.
Thanks! I thought that was the voice of the announcer/narrator!
Excellent in that role!!
I thought I recognized the voice!
yup...and probably welled toned from Parliament 100s!
They came in and turned that room upside down and inside OUT. There was so many slip up. But the toupee took me all the way out 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I is
This kind of humor should come back around....nowadays it's all about being "raunchy"! I'll ALWAYS love The Carol Burnett Show!!!😊😊😊
You are right, raunchy with nasty insinuations and four-letter words that are NOT funny, but they THINK they are -- wrong!
Making Lemonade , I agree. And when I used to watch @amandabynes , I really see some great talent in her and thought she’d be the next Carol Burnett . She still could. I feel the industry pushes them to hard and they don’t seem to allow people to feel free to really use their full talent. It’s sad.

I have all 6 seasons of Mamas Family on DVD... love this show. the skits on Carol Burnett's tv show were long before Mama Family began to air, that's why some of the scenes don't have matching names and Eunice has a different brother, and not Vint.
+Prophetess Buchanan I would LOVE to own all six seasons of Mama's Family! Is it still available for purchase?
Shirley Pena - YES! Go to eBay and type in Mama's Family. All the season will pull up and they are not that expensive either!
I also notice on the Carol Burnett Show, Eunice and Ed mention they have two sons, but on Mama's Family there was only Bubba.
So do I it is worth it. I am trying to find the family skits the attic, Sorry and Monopoly on DVD Does anyone know where I can get them
Greg Jurek - sometimes you can find them on eBay.
