My Dad passed away last week from cancer he never told me he had it he didn't want me to know but before he died he texted me asking me what I'm doing I told him dad I'm watching Eunice play sorry he then says SORRY and pretends to shake s bell..I watch this everyday in his honor ..love you Dad .
💚💚💚
😢😢😢💚💚 so sorry for your loss! Don't know your dad! I've seen what cancer dose to the family two of my mom's close friends died my mom had it twice and a tumor take from her back! So sorry 😞 you dad had great taste in TV
❤️ This is the BEST & I wish The Family would have gotten a spinoff show with Eunice & Ed before Harvey passed away...✔️Love them all 🥰
My deepest condolences...
@@lizdestefano4905 he never wanted me to be an actor but once I wrote Vicki Lawrence a letter telling her about my interest in acting she sent me a still with her signature saying good luck two months later I got an acting job small part in a German foreign film then a Brazilian softer no commercial and some modeling ..I understand Eunice wanting so bad to be an actress ...the saddest Eunice skit for me was when she was in the gong show and she got gonged
Eunice always starts out being the only reasonable one trying to keep peace and then is driven to insanity. 😂
Because that's a baby's game...baby's play that game..lol
It's the chaos theory that Carol was so unique with. Normally directors snap when actors goof lines, or laugh, crack up during filming. Carol, Harvey, and the rest all tried to make the others lose it. Like they had a game. But it NEVER EVER made the skit worse, it always made it better, thereby the chaos of the best possible way created the most laughs. She was brilliant and she KNEW what made people laugh!
@@EdsterIII she still is😃
So true…lol
Right! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Guess if my pilot light was out, I'd end up being nuts too
No filthy jokes , innuendos , political agendas .. just the funniest sketches that ever appeared on television .
Absolutely, so wonderful, when you could do clean comedy and laugh 😂
Amen to that
I am dying laughing. I miss this show. I forgot how funny it was.
Right!!!?? 🤭🤭😂😂😂
Except for The Honeymooners.
Vicki Lawrence is one of the most brilliant comedy actresses of all time! ... Most people don't realize that she was JUST 19-YEARS-OLD when she started playing "Mama." ... Amazing timing and realism in her portrayal, to be just a kid of only nineteen. That is some real talent right there! Carol Burnett (THE GENIUS THAT SHE IS) chose very wisely, when choosing Vicki.
Very true
Omg i did not know that
Noone can play Mama but Vicki Lawrence😆💯😆!!!
I heard she wrote Carol a fan letter which prompted Carol to get in touch and they met and talked for 5 minutes but that was all it took for Carol to get a feeling about how good she was
@@AFMountaineer2000 here is a interview Vicki talks about how she met Carol Burnett ua-cam.com/video/xszpHRpOsbM/v-deo.html
Amazing how Vicki was able to keep a straight face while Carol was losing it.
It was
As that character, she is granite to Eunice's fire.
I don't recall Vicki EVER breaking in a sketch--
Always love Carol Burnet show!
One of the rarest times when Carole lost it!
We were a Christian Family, but when it came to playing games, we were The Harpers!😂 One Christmas, we played Scrabble and after several hours we fought over a word I put down & we had a huge fight like the Harpers and went 4 days without speaking to each other! We watched the Harpers playing games and we rolled, because we saw ourselves 😂😂😂😂❤️
Vicki Lawrence is a real comedy genius! No one could have played Mama better! 😊
No wonder this show was on for 11yrs on cbs great show great chemistry great characters thank you UA-cam 😃 can't get enough of this show 🙂
She looks like she is about to crack-up so many times but keeps it together. They're all great comic actors. I miss this type of television.
@@gvalley07 Carol did break character and barely kept it together.
What about the actress that played Granny in Beverly Hillbillies who really got into that roll?
Carol hired her at 17. She really grew up with the best...
Vicki Lawrence and Carol Burnett are so hilarious together ❤️
Harvey and Tim were part of the team......
Vicky kept a straight face while Carrol tried not to break.
For those of us who are stuck with dysfunctional families, watching these sketches make it a little more bearable.
It sure does.
@@anncorsaro224 exactly
Three comedy geniuses. All legends.
“IT WAS A SEVEN” has been burned in my brain for 40 years. It still makes me laugh!
omg same. I still come to this sketch once a while just for that part lol.
Is this house supposed to be in Tel Aviv? because this comedy is VERY Kosher.
I googled this today! I still use it to this day!
And eyes 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
If you draw a 7 in Sorry, you have the option of splitting it between two men. It's the only way to move forward four spaces in the game.
In 1973 my mother made a nice pot roast dinner for her mother and husband. Everything had to be perfect. About 5 minutes before they arrived and by the way, Gramma Dell was a germaphobe, mom looked at the table only to see the cat was licking the brand new stick of butter on the butter dish! She frantically reformed it with a knife. Gramma never knew!!!
"I think somebody blew your pilot light out!"
I love how Carol is clearly trying to keep from laughing. 😂😂😂😂
I know who blew it out-Mama.
Vicky Lawrence = completely underrated comedic actress. Fantastic timing and masterful control of herself. Comedic goddess.
Agreed
And fabulous singer too! She was the first to record "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" such a talent!!
@@elliewuzzup7689 I remember that song what memories
I was obsessed with the both of them!
Wonderful addition to Carols show.
Omg! I'm 55 and still cracking up after all these years. This show was a must watch when i was younger. When they can't contain their laughter it makes me laugh.
About the same age as you and totally agree. Surprised it never rated in the top 10 as it was must watch TV on Saturday at 10 before Love Boat and Fantasy Island came along.
Pluto channel actually has the carol Burnett show channel so you can watch it anytime you want 🙂
55 huh ? Believe or not I an almost 85 and still reading these skits and loving them !!
As I at 84 !
Eunice's Facial Expressions are PRICELESS!!!
Eunice to Mamma: " Now you listen to me Old Lady!!" (and she looks at Mamma with those scary psycho eyes) PRICELESS! (and poor Ed with his hardware store!) 😂😂😂😂
I always loved it when Eunice scrunched her face up, bugged out her eyes, and called Momma "OLD LADY"!!!!😂
@@mewregaurdhissyfit7733 Oh man, it's THE BEST!! Those eyes...when she's ready to go off! And poor Ed and his hardware store! And Mama and Eunice hate Micky Hart from Ed's store...it's TV GOLD!😂😂😂
Swear they don’t make shows like this any more!!! Best Quarantine watching!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, they sure don’t.
"MyThree Sons" and "The Honeymooners" are great too.
Classic!😂
Lol!!!!
No,sadly they dont.
When mama tells Eunice, “I think somebody blew your pilot light out!” 😆🤣Vicky should’ve won an Emmy for her role in Mama’s Family
They don't make shows like this anymore. This is real comedic genius.
"I told them your momma might like to live in a garbage can, but I don't" Momma was the queen of shade😂
S Jackson The “Queen” of, no doubt! Poor Eunice 😿. Nothing ever works out as planned for her, despite her best intentions.
@jeff jones big man
🤣
I love Carols hair do 🤣
12:52 Carol Burnett is doing everything she can not to bust out laughing.
Her show was gold. 😂
I was so pulled into the drama. The acting is so excellent, then you get to that point and realize "they are doing this live in one take" Impressive!
She mouthed something at that point too. What was it?
@@mercuryfever392 "Oh boy!"
Totally. LMAO!!! I'll bet the "that's a new one, momma..." was ad-libbed to help keep her from busting up.
Vicki was ad libbing jabs. There’s another clip on UA-cam with alternate jabs during a second taping. I think the “that’s a new one mama” comment came when Carol heard this jab for the first time. And it was different from the other taping.
"It was a SEVVVVENNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!" I love this family. This is my family all day long. 🤣
“IT WAS A SEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!” 🤣 cracks me up every time
Carole Burnett *IS* a world treasure!
Hogan's Heroes
She shurly is ,!!!!!
I said enough ,,!!!
Elle Bee 💯💯💯
Vickie TOO!
I am obsessed with these sketches 😁We still have Carol and Vickie still with us!!;
"You have splinters in the windmill of your mind!" Mamma is the BEST! I always absolutely LOVED it when they cracked each other up!!!! I just laugh even harder! Positively therapeutic!!!
10:19 - 10:23
I'm convinced Harvey was legit cracking up at Vicki's antics and Carol improved that line. 😆
They are to die for!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Carol Burnett once said in an interview that there are no jokes in The Family sketches, it's all about the delivery.
That is correct. It is not the joke that is funny, it is the way it is delivered and the reaction of the cast to the joke that makes it funny.
Its true
You'd never know it.
Makes sense to me! Carol Burnett can deliver some lines!
9:34 makes me laugh out loud every time
I think that Vicki Lawrence should get an award JUST for her character of momma? She developed her in such a way that she was believable and really became that old woman! And the amazing part is that they didn't have to use special complicated makeup and effects.....I mean she was convincing just through her actions -- the way in which she carried herself etc. She was AWESOME in this role
Vicky was supposed to play the daughter. Carol decided she was better suited as the daughter so Vicky had to play Mama. And you're right, wig and granny glasses was all they had time for. And of course that padded dress and old lady shoes. Vicky was 18 when she went to work for Carol. She was a genius but has done little since.
@@jeffmartin3179 She has a show she takes on the road doing the Mama character. There are videos on UA-cam. ua-cam.com/video/E3x6ILmHmcA/v-deo.html
She effectively DID get an award for it. An Emmy. Back then, when a show wanted to get an individual nominated for a Emmy, they submitted just one episode for each category. For Vicki Lawrence the year she won, The Family was the main part of the episode that was submitted. (In fact, the episode was called The Family Show.) Though she also did a sketch as a telephone operator, it was clear she won based on The Family sketch.
She was perfect
That's right !
This.... was... hilarious. Especially when she tried to hold those laughs in when mama kept adlibing the insults😂💯
I love when Mama gets up right in the middle of the game and starts wiping down the table. My great-grandma used to do the same thing in the middle of dinner and it drove my mother nuts.
Lol
My mom cleans the table during dinner and getting all the table wet, even before 2 spoons fulls
My Aunt kept a fly swatter & butcher knife on either side of her plate. She swatted flies on the table & threatened the dog for begging, during the meal. Uncle was chucking ham bones the length of the table for the dog & I learned to keep my elbow tucked in after the 1st toss. My cousin was schizophrenic & took his teeth out, so he could lick them before they started passing the food. Best diet I’ve ever been on, lost 20 pounds during that visit!!!
Eunice already wiped that side of the table in the beginning of the sketch.
It's sticky!
The dark humor of all of this is that there are really people who act and talk like this and everybody knows or is related to them so that is why this type of comedy is so popular.
They were a part of Carol's life. Her grandma and mother fought all the time. Her mom, drank and was a defeated actress. They lived in poverty.
Yes, that's the truth, Catherine Mathers ... Carol's own experiences influenced this sketch heavily! Have you ever seen the CBS special "Eunice" from 1982? It was a two-hour special, and really dealt with Eunice's family history from a very emotional standpoint, and flashed ahead a few years as well. It was such a sad and bittersweet show to watch. But I thoroughly recommend it. It is here at UA-cam. Just search "Eunice" and you'll find it.. worth a watch!
Tre404 Generational dysfunction is disturbing to see, even in a comedic format. Sometimes it's hard to determine whether the tears you shed are from laughter, distress, or both. I suppose 'Eunice' and the Family sketches were Carol's way of exorcising some demons. It was brilliantly done by the actors. I loved that show.
It’s like watching my family. I’m now in Hawaii 6,000 miles away. Now I can laugh at this.
Robert Gardea No, but I was held back from laughing out loud or around said family. They stopped watching the show because of Mama’s Family clips....it’s is my favorite show.
Harvey once said he was never comfortable doing the role of Ed but I'll tell you what , Harvey was just wonderful in anything he ever did and I wish he was here to tell him so♥️
“And on top of that YOU TAKE MY LITTLE YELLOW MEN!!!!!” LMAO 😂 I Swear Eunice is running a 220 electricity on a 110 current.”
This is one of the best sketches EVER on Carol Burnett !! Better than anything on TV today.
I remember this from my childhood and am glad it's available to view anytime now!
...still one of the funniest skits I've ever seen. "it was a SEVVVVVEEENNNN!!!!"
Bahahaha
LMAO!!! How in the heck was Vicki Lawrence able to keep a straight face?
💕😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣stop, my side hurts
One of my favorite show in the 1970's. 📺😄
P⁰
Ed: "Slide!"
Eunice: "Oh shut up!"
Well thanks a lot Mama 😅
"I think I still got a piece of that dried out pot-roast stuck in my throat." Mama cracks me up everytime.
Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
Comedic geniuses who never had to be vulgar.
unlikeavirgin so true. They were the REAL comedians.
unlikeavirgin OH MY GOD! Both are my EVERYTHING!! Except for Ed Sheeran and Liza Koshy!
unlikeavirgin
In real life Lucy could swear like a sailor.
??? There was cursing on this show.
"JACKASS!" 😁
2degucitas Seriously. "Vulgarity" wasn't a recent invention people. There was nasty language and dirty jokes back in Shakespeare time. It's just our concept of "vulgarity" changed. Sorry, bit I just loathe "Back-in-the-day" misremembering.
Vicki Lawrence was the one who really made these skits. Carol was excellent and important but Vicki nailed her role as Mama. Hysterical. She was just TOPS.
I agree, you need both of them 😀
esp when she is the youngest person in the skits. She is so good at making faces, looking grumpy and changing her voice to that of an old southern lady. Her old lady shoes and extra padding finishes the job of her transformation.
You are right. They were best together. The Mama show was not as good as this.
Their chemistry was just excellent in these skits. But it's important to remember that Vicki was in her early 20s playing Mama brilliantly here.
I grew up watching these shows on their first run in the 60s and 70s, and in our family these skits were known, simply, as 'Eunice'. For us the Eunice character was by far the main one. Vicki was good, but Mama was so obviously a supporting character we never even considered her as the main one. It was Eunice that the sketches focused on, and that was just fine with us!
Bless their hearts. Eunice's facial expressions could scare the devil. Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence are so funny together, they were meant to be. Such an awesome comedy show with all the actors.
Vicki was brilliant as Mama. Rarely broke character.
Hello greetings
and kept a straight face .
I’ve never seen her break character. She’s a real pro
Except when Tim told the elephant story..
Who's here watching while in quarantine?
Hellz yeah.
Me! "Sliiiiiiiide....!"
✋
Me!
@@sebastianvaldivieso9654 Sebastian, Luv your name. And yes I'm in quarantine watching this.
This skit is pure comedic genius.😯😍☺️
Hello Dear
How are you doing!
I loved this show as a kid. Takes me back home where we would all lay around in the den watching this after dinner. Memories are so great to have. Life sure was much nicer then.
I was just a kid (about 8-9 years old) when TCBS was on but on but the Friday night line up was:
7:00 pm M*A*S*H
8:00 pm The Dukes of Hazzard
9:00 pm Dallas
10:00 pm Dynasty
This was from 1978-1981
The golden are of TV for my generation and I'll be 50 in November
But we all get older of course, no sense of turning back to something we can’t go through again.
You’re telling the truth, good clean television!! Those were the good ole days!
@@annam.6223
We might not can go through it again but that's why I'm glad shows like this are now on DVD Bc ten to twenty years from now, when TV REALLY sucks, we can at least pop in TCBS, Dukes of Hazzard, MASH, or whatever show you liked and watch good clean funny TV.
YUP. THOSE WERE THE GREATEST TIMES. MEMORIES ARE ALSO GREAT. BUT NOW ALL WE HAVE FOR ''MEMORIES'' IS ''DID I BRING MY MASK WITH ME?'' WHAT A PILE OF HORSESHIT THIS COVID CLUSTERFUK IS. I NEVER BELIEVED IT SINCE DAY ONE.
I love Vicki Lawrence, and Carol Burnett, they were fantastic together.
"IT WAS A SEVENNNNNNN!!!!!!!" LMAO!!! I love this skit. Carol Burnett was a comedic genius surrounded by a great cast. And who the hell down voted this clip? 479 people without an ounce of humor in their bodies.
These are the most obnoxious people in the entire milky way galaxy. 🤣.
Fuckin losers. They probably think 3rd Rock From the Sun or Modern Family is funny now days. They wouldn't recognize real talent or comedy if it bit them in the face
B B B But it triggered me....... Waaa!
Fuck "em!
Totally dysfunctional show. It's only funny the first few minutes.
How could Vicki Laurence get away without laughing???? Hilarious!!!!
She was awesome. Never breaks character.
I was amazed at how long some of the ‘takes’ were. Not sure how they got thru the lines with out cracking up or changing authentic facial expressions.
@@jonyoder2356 Totally agree. Sheer talent.
In an interview she stated that as the newest/youngest/least experienced comedienne on the show, she felt she hadn't earned the freedom to "play" with the lines like her established co-stars had.
😆 she was biting the inside of her cheek
I love it when Eunice screams😅😅😅😅 "it was a seveeeen!!!!!!". Hilarious stuff!!
I wonder if they decided to use that number because it is the number you can get the most when you roll two dice, ie, the probability of that happening is the highest of the outcomes.
We used to play 'SORRY' on Sunday afternoons and I'm still amazed how intense it could become .Like somehow we were moving great armies at war. My Dad a military veteran , eyes glazed over would celebrate every 'SLIDE' he made ! I can't help but remember come Sunday afternoons those victories we all experience on that kitchen table so long ago . . . 🥰
Yes but no longer have 🕗 c
Sharon what a great memory!
@@monicajane7888 🤔 . 💖 . 😁 . .
I'm so glad we never had that game!
Of course there was no dice and bell, right? Just cards.
Real humor. Class acts all of them. Still laughing all these years later.
They were all a class act. Great memories from my childhood growing up in the 70's. I love the Christmas episode where Carol says"now we all agreed we were going to open all the presents in order, not helter-skelter like a bunch of maniacs.
Elephant one 😆🤣
The Best, The freaking Best!!! ..I Love Carol Burnett Soooo much, they all rock .😀😀
These never get old.
"How many spaces did ya move it?" "Well, how the hell should I know?" LMAO
Beer drinking grandma!
I love Harvey Korman in every sketch, but this one takes the cake! I love how he says, “that’s a baby game, babies play that game!” and then “slide!” God blessed us all with these 3 people (and Lyle Waggoner too, of course)! 🙏💗
Hello greetings
I love Harvey Korman so much -- and he makes Ed a beautiful, tragic, good-natured and unforgettable character.
They literally act like babies playing the game
And he says he loves the game after he sorries Eunice.
"It was a SEVEN!" Oh boy, got a lot of mileage--and confused stares--out of that one over the decades. Pure gold.
"You got splinters in the windmills of your mind!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You're playing hockey with a warped puck😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how she made Carol break character lmao
It was a SEVEEEEN! Omg her facial expressions are out of this world! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hollywood COULDNT make something this funny anymore
I was a suburban teenager in the 1970's, this was the "big deal" on Saturday night, along with Bob Newhart, and Mary Tyler Moore. So thankful I had this great entertainment to grow up on. THANKS for posting this.....
MarkinDC and MASH and The mary Tyler Moore show
I mean all in the family
Y’all growing up in that time are lucky bc for ppl 20s and younger (my age) we had shitty tv and have to look these classics up on UA-cam
Us too! And then later, The Love Boat and Fantasy Island were our every Saturday night!
I was 7 years old but I loved watching the Carol Burnett Show. The whole family would sit in front of our tv watching. We were always in stitches!
"I think someone blew your pilot light out."
"That's a new one, Mama."
"You wait, there's more."
"Oh, god...."
ua-cam.com/video/2b5C6Xp3pwA/v-deo.html watch this one at 2:46.....Vicki DOES keep going ...and Carol loses it. It was edited out for the broadcast, tho....
Splinters in the windmills of your mind
Laughing so hard and trying not to show it
You took my little yellow man
When you see Carol Burnett covering her mouth, she was trying not to show she was trying not to laugh out loud as they had to do a lot of retakes.
And the Oscar goes to Carol Burnett for being a National Treasure 😇😇
She has a different kind of comedy than I love Lucy, but she's just as funny if not funnier, the whole cast is priceless.
Harvey Korman: SLIIIDEEE!
OH SHUT UP! LOL
Priceless!
I love that part!
Can you imagine being so incredibly blessed to have been in the audience when they did this live?? I don't know what's funnier... the skit or the lady in the audience laughing hysterically?!?! Carol, Vicki and Harvey were pure magic!!!! How I long for those days😢😢
Noticed that lady too, especially when Mama was walking back to the kitchen.
"Slide...."
"Oh shut up!"
That cracks me up every time!
I don't know how any of them kept a straight face doing this. They did great keeping their lines for long periods of time.
In the 1970s I was being raised in an abusive, dysfunctional home (parents had split up, mother had custody of us kids. She was a mentally ill, abusive monster). As a result, I turned towards watching LOTS of tv as a way to provide myself with escape and comfort from my misery.
The Carol Burnett show was one of many tv shows I watched regularly in daily syndicated reruns. It really helped me to preserve what few shreds of sanity I had as well as provided me with much needed happiness, laughter and joy in an otherwise joyless existence.
The Carol Burnett show was the one and only tv show whose sketches had me and my sister literally rolling on the floor, clutching our sides with laughter (especially if the sketch had Tim Conway in it. He was the best).
EXCEPT for these "The Family" sketches. When Eunice yelled and/or scrunched up her face in anger, she was the exact spitting image of our mother. It was just too painful. My sister and I would sit completely stone faced through these "Family" sketches. I don't recall them eliciting a single laugh from either one of us (not even the presence of Tim Conway helped).
I'm sorry about your childhood. Carol Burnett lived with her grandmother (the ear tug was for her) because she, too, had family trauma growing up.
Carol Burnett made America great!!!!
"Someone blew your pilot lite out"
You got splinters in the windmill of your mind.
Your playing hockey with a warped puck...Vicky Lawrence
I bust out laughing Everytime I watch this
A few months ago I got a pain pump due to chronic pain. The size of a pain pump is the same size as a hockey puck. I’m sure it’s not the same weight lol
Carol tried sooooooo hard to keep her composure after Mama said the pilot light one lol
Watch THIS vid: ua-cam.com/video/2b5C6Xp3pwA/v-deo.html ...it's a bloopers vid from the show, and this skit is in it...apparently Vicki Lawrence kept going with 'em and Carol just loses it.
Riding the cotton pony.
I have watched this a 100 times and still bust a gut every time!!
Same here!
I really appreciate growing up in the 60s and 70s. Television really showed what middle-class life looked like. They did not try to make it pretty. Homes were humble, clothes were humble. Not everyone was a supermodel. I appreciate that. Think about the sitcoms back then. Think about the movies. Today, so-called average people live in million dollar lofts and palatial homes. I respect shows like this.
So true
Great comment .
Oh go rest in your nursing home and stfu.
There aren't anymore shows "like this" !! Haven't made anything normal in a long time, I bet since the 70's.

My brother and I laughed so hard the first time we ever saw this. We would say, “Sliiiiiiiiiide,” and, “Sawwwryyyyy,” when we’d play Sorry after that. 😂
That would be so funny!
But there were no dice and a bell in the game, right?
@@sha11235 No, there were cards with numbers on them.
I needed this today....feeling down.Only these 2 can make me laugh....Carol's faces
I watched this show growing up & I needed this today too it's still the go to laugh!
I lost my lovely cousin Anne.
Watching all the episodes of Rhoda helped me cope with her passing.
Amen To That..Sista....
@@ddsmith3006 I am so sorry for your health issues. I myself have emphysema and asthma. I watched my Mom with the same illness as I do and it's scary. I've taken to also watch classics from the 60's and 70's. MeTV has some great shows. My Three Sons, Dragnet(odd but I love Harry Morgan), Leave it to Beaver, and the cartoons I grew up on from 6am-7am M-F. Carol Burnett was truly INCREDIBLE! Her ability to create was amazing and her pick of Vicki Lawrence was mind boggling. I recently saw the episode where she was introduced and she was shaking she was so nervous. Vicki was so sweet yet incredibly talented and so cute. She was one of my crushes as a boy. Then when I heard she was Mama too, um that altered my view a bit...lol. They would crack each other up on stage and make the others lose it, but it never ever detracted from the skit, it made it BETTER! That is what Carol could create. Art from chaos, causing chaos for laughs, and just being herself. She was brilliant! One of the BEST EVER IF NOT THE BEST!
In another take of this skit (they used to film two versions of the show in front of two different audiences and use the best bits/audience reactions for the final broadcast), Mama really goes all out in the insult department near the end and Carol really breaks character. It's hilarious.
That video is circling around youtube somewhere. I saw it and it is hilarious!!
@@andos2923Found it! ua-cam.com/video/Mf84vaHD64k/v-deo.htmlsi=Ayg1gEJFS-KJjvaW
World would be a better place if we had comedy like this again
Vickie Lawrence and Carol Burnett were just priceless as Unice and Mama! That big hair on Carol Burnett was just perfect! What a great spin-off Mama's House was too. They were all such comic geniuses!
It was called Mama's Family. And it is spelled Eunice.
Amazing that Vicki Lawrence was only 25 years old here. She was just out of high school and 18 when she started on the show. Wow, what a natural talent.
Her transformation into Mama is nothing short of genius!!
Oh. I thought Carol had stated one time in an interview that Vicki was 19 when she first started the show. Huh. I don't know. I guess it doesn't make much of a difference.😊
I LOVED "The Family" sketches on the Carol Burnett Show, and this one in particular was my all time favorite. Watching it again after all these years and I still laugh until I cry when Mama lays into Eunice, and to see how Carol fights to keep from breaking up by Vicki Lawrence. What brilliant comedy this was, and oh, how much I miss it.
There is a channel Pluto that runs carol Burnett' show at 11pm😀😀😀👍
They were always my faves growing up so happy to see others feel the same way 🥰🥰🥰
“It was a SEVENNNNNNNN!!!!” 🤣🤣🤣 I am hyperventilating!
Dead. I laughed so hard I was in tears. Comedy at its finest.
IM DECEASED!!! I literally started laughing so hard that my mom came in my room and asked if I was strangling a goose...
CBS Saturday night lineup 1973-1974......All In The Family....MASH....The Mary Tyler Moore Show....The Bob Newhart Show....and The Carol Burnette Show, all in one night.
I had forgotten Mash was in that lineup.
tonysc: All the best. I can BINGE on MASH!
@tonysc Those were the days...
tonysc those were the days 😀
I remember it Our whole family would watch it every Saturday night😀
This was hysterically funny during a simpler time. And it still is
MY absolute favourite The Family - Vicki's "Well how the hell should I know" gets me every time!!! Brilliant!!!
SLIIIIIIDE!!!!!! O SHUT UP!!!!! U WIPE THAT SMILE OFF THAT FACE OR I WILL WIPE IT OFF FOR U!!!!! This show never gets old. Its soooooo hilarious. 😆🤣😂😄
this has to be Vicki's best acting as Mama.
The Family was a masterpiece of Carol Burnett's work. Very truthful humor for those who come from dysfunctional families. Gets me laughing every time
“I bought that really expensive frozen dessert and everything.“ That line cracks me up! It’s like the only nice things they can have in their lives is the occasional expensive frozen dessert.
My dad used to freeze the entenmens pound cake for some reaso

"YOU'RE PLAYING HOCKEY WITH A WARPED PUCK"
I lost it!
Hannah Hayes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So did Carol Burnett
you've got splinters in the windmills of your mind
This is a bloopers reel of the show. This skit is in it. Apparently Vicki Lawrence kept going with them...and Carol completely loses it. ua-cam.com/video/2b5C6Xp3pwA/v-deo.html
Eunice Wears The Same Dress Every Episode!!
So does Mama. Bob Mackie costumes!
Ed and momma do too.
@Louise Gross 😀😀😀
Except in 'Aunt Mae is Dead'. Mackie must have made a sheer black shift that slipped over the usual floral dress, for the funeral.

This show never gets old this is true comedy
I loved all these skits! They were so dysfunctional, yet nothing like today’s families. I NEVER missed an episode of The Carol Burnett Show, Starsky and Hutch, BJ and the Bear, Hardy Boys (Shawn Cassidy ❤️), CHIPS, The Love Boat… Such great shows. I too am glad I grew up watching these shows. I was in elementary school, but loved them. I can now rewatch shows and have my memories, as well as new perspectives of them. Vicki Lawerence had a great singing voice too.
My sister (who is now almost 60) saw Shaun Cassidy in concert last year. He's still around. 🌝
now none are in rerun cept carol, go figure....
"So I'll just move the yellow man back seven spaces, then I'll move my blue man ahead seven spaces, landed on your green man, sending him back to the start, SORRYYYYYY!", I just died of laugher.😂😂
I think she said, "landing".
Callum & Friends
sha11235 nope, she said sorry
Southern Tragedy at its finest. "Mama's Family" was very broad and always played its audience or laughs, but there was something very deep and sad about "The Family". I think it was brilliant.
Eunice, in particular, is a tragic character. She's so dissatisfied with her life.
Carol Burnett said that in one rehearsal, they tried it without the accents, and she said it immediately became so bleak and despairing that they couldn't continue. She said it was like something out of Ibsen or Strindberg.
Carol wanted the Chaplinesque "charwoman" to be her trademark, but Eunice was her brilliant, unforgettable, undeniable masterpiece. Pathos, humor, longing all in one amazing character.
Eunice IS tragic. Funny as hell and still so sad.
I wonder where Carol had to go " inside herself " to react the way she did. First female comedian that I know of that could go that deep emotionally yet still makes you laugh at the tragic moment. Lucille was a great " goof ball " kinda comedy yet she could never duplicate a performance like that. Incredible
After watching this skit, I could never play SORRY again with my cousin without one of us going S-L-I-D-E !!
Im so glad we had this time together
Joshua Stien that line was said in "Whats happening" in Dee has a date episode
Eunice...sometimes Ed gets romantic and "that supposed to be some big thrill for me". Funny.
Carol burnett she knew how to make people laugh
Wonderful show, never boring.
Always loved when one of the cast would change their lines to see what the reaction would be. Vicky's line about the pilot light was clearly not expected by Carol, but she improvised pretty well herself.
ua-cam.com/video/2b5C6Xp3pwA/v-deo.html this is a Burnett Bloopers vid. This skit is in it. Actually, Vicki kept going with those and Carol actually DID lose it...they just edited it out for the broadcast. Take a look, it's hilarious.
