Strangely enough, there's more recently been four great comedic talents who claim be the Original Queens of Comedy Miss Laura Hayes, Adele Givens, Sommore and Mo'Nique. I would respectfully agree with Ms. Theresa Johnson that there is in fact an original Queen of Comedy before all of them and that's Moms Mabley. There are talents like her who blazed the trail so today's female comedians can go around claiming they did it first.
I grew up listening to her albums with my parents on a Saturday night in the 60's. The albums were probably considered R rated these days. They need to make a movie about her life..she was the queen..a LEGEND 🥰
They were called "Party Records" like the ones by Pigmeat Markham and Redd Fox - I loved hearing them from the next room, and trying to figure out what they meant!
Actually they have the documentary. I just bought it for $2..at Family Dollars. Whoopi, Eddie, Kathy Griffin, and others speak on her. Try going to see if your local FD..has it. I'm in Miami.
@@takeithajackson3058 Thanks! I'm in Detroit..will check it out. I would like to see a movie like they did for Ma Rainey & Aretha. Maybe one day someone will 🤞🏽
Moms Mabley (March 19, 1894---May 23, 1975) was a genius as a comedian. I remember her when I was a teenager but it was year later till I understood how important she was to show business. She is missed.
The forerunner to all women doing stand-up comedy today, she'd been entertaining in show business since the 1920's. Her dress was a gag , she could dance, sing and do comedy, she honed her skills in vaudeville and the chitlin circuit, she was first AA woman comedian to do stand-up before a national audience, they use to call it "flat-foot" and it was groundbreaking for women. All female comedians owe it to Moms Mabley. Joan Rivers said she learnt from Moms Mabley when she was growing up.
She was born the same year as my great-grandmother 1894, many great black female entertainers came out of that generation: Ethel Waters, black women of that ilk and generation were so strong and gifted. Respect for the ancestors, they got us through to the other side.
We discovered Moms while watching the Ed Sullivan Show; he had her on several times. He helped preserve the history of entertainment & those who paved the way before it was lost. I’m glad this clip popped up; I needed hearty laugh today.
So many stand on her shoulders! She was historical and hysterical for this kid back in the 60s late night radio.. This was a time of radical change in our society, and she was on the front lines bringing humor to an otherwise somber time.. thank you ma'am!
Remembering my Mom and Dad listening to her laughing and sounding like everything was good at a time when some things were soo hard. They are happy memories. 🥰😘
Looking at this clip reinforces my contention that jokes and sketches don't have to be profane vulgar full of swear words crude and deprecating to be hilarious. Of course some of her albums in the beginning contained some spicy racy language but tame by today's standard.
I remember hearing Mom's Mabley, Pigmeat Markham, Sammy Davis Jr. And a lot of other famous comedians on albums in the neighborhood as our fathers washed and or fixed on their cars and children played up and down the street...happy times❤❤❤😂😂😂😮😮😅😅😅❤❤❤
Watching her do the airplane joke in her youth was still funny. Watching her talent mature is a blessing even though it was before my time. The internet made a way for me to know who this beautiful talent was.❤
I just looked her up as a passing memory of old times. Wow, she is every bit as funny as she ever was her on video. Old Tom Smothers was so very young.
I loved that “Sweet Georgia Brown” routine . The song reminds me when I used to watch the Globetrotters. Moms can dance too. She was literally tap dancing in house slippers. And you know, it was as though I could hear the taps as she moved her feet. At the end, it looked like she did a little Moonwalk. 😂 😂 😀
LOVED Moms. Thanks for posting this. Dang near hurt myself when the stewardess said to drop your jaw, and she misunderstood. WONDERFUL!!!!! 👏👏🤪🤪👏👏🤪🤪👏👏🤪🤪
She was so sweet! She was our neighbor down the street from where we grew up in N Y. Slappy White would visit with her occasionally. He had a white Lincoln Continental and his California license plate had SLAPPY on it.
I'm 62 and am an old Baptist Preacher's daughter. I use to go to my neighbors house and listen to her albums with them..To this day I remember my favorite joke of hers.The one when she says something like.. ," You send your kids to school and tell them to watch the light baby..watch the light?! .. Better tell them to watch them cars lights ain't never killed nobody".😂
Jackie was THE BEST! There has never been anyone like her before, and no one has been able to follow her! Her version of "Abraham, Martin and John" always makes me cry.
I remember Mom's mabely😅 every since I was lil.girl at the age of 6 😅😅😅👏👏 😢😅😂very funny to the original comedian #QueenSugga😂😂😂😂woow that was the good ole clean dayzzz😅😅😅
Mom's Manley I clearly remember this funny lady comedian in my early teens.. and even thro old she's,d have you laughing on the floor,and her albums she'd have you crying with laughter. If you'd seen her in her heyday? She was a beauty. RIP Mom's.
This was my first introduction to her, was following a UA-cam Thread lmao. Thanks for posting this, it's 4:58 AM where I am, had to keep from laughing out loud (Still did anyway lmao); Wishing ya a phenomenal year!
When I was a teenager, my buddies and I used to sit around listening to LP records from her laughing as hard as we could and smoking as much dope and drinking as much beer as we could man, she was great.
She was the Original queen of comedy

I miss her and the Smothers Brothers. Those were the good 'ol days indeed.
Good ol' days.
The original "Medea". A treasure and a classic.
Don't insult the memory of Moms Mabley with such a ridiculous comparison to a nobody.
@@HansDelbruck53Tyler Perry is hardly a nobody 🙄

🥰 yes she is!
We will never forget Moms Mabley. May God forever keep her.
This lady is GENIUS! She will set up a joke and when nobody's expecting it: knock 'em clean!
cool

She's almost 75yrs of age doing this performance. Amazing, a true legend icon and national treasure.

Moms, was one of the BEST!!!!!!!!!
