I did twelve shows with Phyllis back in 1974, she was by far the nicest, classiest person I've ever worked with. Without the wigs, the padded clothes, and the exaggerated stage makeup, she was actually an attractive woman. She's was also a heck of a classically trained pianist, too.
She along with Totie Fields were two of THE CLASSIEST COMEDIANS EVER!!! Broke my heart when cancer stole Totie way too soon and Phyllis was also one I'd hoped would live forever ... she opened the stage for women to do stand up... there should be statues erected of her and Totie and Joan Rivers... so sad their class is no longer seen.
Wow all these popular people in this thread. Bless all of you still living. Thats amazing. I like her shes funny. Only learned about her from matchgame/hollywood squares show.
Sumpin' like that. I recall it as, "I modeled one of those new Peek-a-Boo blouses for my husband, Fang. He peeked, then booed. Ahhaaa-haaa-haaa-haaaaaaa...". Much cleaner delivery.
I also saw one of her last performances at California State University, Northridge and she was so great. She was 85 years old, and I didn't want it to end!
You have to be a certain age to get this Phyllis Diller joke. She claimed she won Miss Phonograph Record of the year because her measurements were 33 1/3, 45, and 78...
Self-deprecating humor is tricky: you *better* know how to pull it off. Rodney and Phyllis both knew, when it was OK to be real rather than "whatever."
She is from STL. Her old house is in Webster Groves. Politically incorrect is what made her funny. God knows we could use a little of that today. Vincent Price lived here as well. Tell me that's not a big bucket of scary lol
As a kid, I guess I laughed because one can visualize most of her jokes. She said she's a bad mom because for years she thought ketchup was a vegetable. When Fang passed around her mashed potatoes, he would ask.. one lump or two? [ when sugar came in cubes it was what the waitress would ask] I even laughed at her husbands name.. 'Fang'. She was a riot.. RIP Phylis.
I wrote her a letter telling her about a disastrous house boat trip our family had taken when I was 15. She wrote back on the wildest, most gaudy writing paper I had ever seen...and I loved it! She was truly an original! She loved piano and gay men, so I am sorry I never got to meet her...
It is amazing to see how short the women's skirts and dresses were at this time. Mine were on the short side too but I was still a kid in school. She was a brave woman to wear that dress out on stage. The sparkly necklaces on top of the sparkly dress added extra fun to her look. This took me back to another era, thank you to whoever posted this. 4/6/21
She intentionally dressed to be gaudy. Her look was part of her schtick. Her appearance in this video is actually a bit tamer than her usual. Huge shaggy, spiked hairdos (wigs), multi colored boas, wierd colored dresses with oddly oversized trimmings, and matching boots with spike heels. It was common for her to get laughs for just walking out on stage and modeling her outfit. Google her, and click on images. You'll get a good grin or two.
@@bob2161 I will have to do that. I actually lived through those days and I can't believe some of the get-ups that average people wore when I see old clips sometimes. Now they weren't average people but just last week here I saw Dolly Parton and two of her sisters singing and their hair has to be seen to be believed. The two sisters' hair was beyond anything I can remember ever seeing and Dolly wasn't all that much behind. 5/24/21
Dangerfield was cut from the same cloth as Diller, Berle, and those others who largely grew out of the vaudeville/burlesque/Catskills tradition of stand-up. Carlin might have started in a similar vein, but he was of a newer school whose work was far more about longer observational comedy. Woody Allen was one such comic; Lenny Bruce was another. Pryor was another in that vein and it was Carlin who really opened up stand-up from the old constraints and tropes and drove home the idea of connecting the comic to the audience.
MY MOM AND I MET PHYLLIS WHEN MY AUNT WAS PRODUCING THE MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW AND PHYLLIS WAS HIS COHOST FOR A WEEK.WE GOT PICTURES WITH HER BACK IN THE GREEN ROOM AND TALKED FOR A WHILE AND SHE HAD ASKED ME WHEN MT BIRTHDAY WAS. WHEN MY BIRTHDAY ROLED AROUND I GET A CARD IN THE MAIL FROM PHYLLIS SAYING HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTTY YOUR FRIEND PHYLLIS. HERE SHE HAD ASKED MY AUNT FOR MY ADDRESS AND SHE NEVER FORGOT AND I WILL NEVER FORGET PHYLLIS WHAT A CLASSY LADY AND THE LAST OF THE CLASSIC COMICS OF OUR TIME. GOD BLESS YOU UP THERE PHYLLIS.
I Literally Laughed Out Loud and it felt good to have to think quick for the joke since there is no fowl mouth cursing, simply innuendo and a slick delivery! Really miss the delight that was Phyllis Diller!!!
I cant get enough of her hilariously underrated movies with Bob Hope during the mid 1960s. Boy Did I Get A Wrong Number - 1966 Eight On The Lam - 1967 The Private Navy Of Sgt. O'farrell - 1968
The first female greatest comedians of all time the movies she was in and her stand up was brilliant she was something else all right I don’t think she ever got the recognition she deserved but she was one of the greats love you aunt Phyllis
Phyllis Diller still makes me laugh today. I also can still hear my Mom, my sister and myself, laughing so hard at the jokes. She was so corny but she was so hysterically funny! Rest In Peace, swee Phyllis. Thank you for the wonderful memories! 🥰
Funny!? And very beautiful, esp off stage! I met her by surprise in a restaurant, asked for her autograph. Dressed to the nines, chaperoned by distinguished men, a picture of elegance & demure. She wore an evening gown & coordinated opal jewels fit for a queen! A lovely sight! What a woman & absolute true knock out! 💓 PD
In addition to everything else she did, she was awesome as Peter's mother on Family Guy. The Mexican abortion clinic story about Peter's birth is a classic.
Dressed up like her for a Halloween Party in '82. My friend who was a makeup artist did my makeup so perfect that a lot of people thought I was Phyllis, but I didn't have the laugh yet so they kept asking who I was as I don't look anything like her and couldn't recognize me hrough the makeup. I waited about 3 hours to tell them, had to keep them guessing. They were all in shock. So much fun. Thank you Sheila - the best makeup artist ever.
In the documentary The Aristrocrats, she was the only comedian they interviewed who refused to tell the joke. She just wouldn't go there. She made jokes ABOUT telling the joke, but she said she didn't do blue material and just politely refused to do it. Whatever else you may think about that choice, I respect that she had a firm set of rules and absolutely did not break them.
And THAT was considered "spicy" comedy back then! I grew up watching her make guest appearances on popular variety shows - back when families had one TV and watched together. I loved watching her in movies and the claymation artists who made the holiday specials for children really nailed her look! She was a great sport at self-deprecating punch lines and to this day, I've never seen what her husband "Fang" looks like but I had wild visualizations about what his teeth looked like! May she RIP!
She has what I and many others like to call “it”; a true entertainer. Major major star quality. I just love it. Back then you really had to have talent, to make it. You really really did, and even then you had to work 5 times as hard.
God do I miss these people with integrity Phyllis was one of a kind like the guy said on here she was the female Rodney Dangerfield funny lady talented. You won't find very many like her today if any at all. God bless Phyllis Diller.
When you dress like the joker but actually have great jokes! Simply amusing from the first second to the last! Not afraid to wear the dunce cap! I love it!
Waylon Flowers and Madame. they had their own late night series for a while and some of the jokes they got away with were amazing. especially when you consider it ran on an over the air network rather than cable.

she was a dorm mate of a teacher of mine, told stories of Phyllis being a hoot
I was privileged to be in an orchestra with her as the solo pianist. What an experience for a college freshman.
Wow all these popular people in this thread. Bless all of you still living. Thats amazing. I like her shes funny. Only learned about her from matchgame/hollywood squares show.
Stand up is so much slower paced nowadays. She was bam bam bam. Every line is a punchline! I love it.
Mannnn.. Pure genius.. Wrote her own stuff.. concert pianist.. brilliant artist.. An Entertainer's Entertainer... and just a damn nice person.
But this show wasn't that funny.

Sweet, Randy.
I grew up with Ms Diller. She was the comedian of the 60s. I loved her & miss her genius.
Same here! Loved her but didn’t appreciate her comedic genius til I was grown. She is truly missed.
I grew up with Phyllis Diller too!!! I absolutely loved watching her on TV...her laugh and remember FANG!!!????
She was quite multi-talenteed too, and her episode of Twilight Zone was fun.
@@DesperateForSanity Remember The Pruitts of Southhampton?

Funny. Thanks. Love Diller.

LMBO 😁 that made my insomnia totally worth it
I guess 20 is the lucky age
Love
"She said she wanted a white wedding, so I told her she should pray for snow." LOL
I don't understand :( could someone help me lol
White implies purity and virginity. Like the bride is a virgin. Phillis was making fun of her sister not being a virgin.
nowadays thou.....when one hears that kinda joke, they call it racist, right?????
A true legend,
The female counterpart to Rodney Dangerfield.
Self-deprecating humor is tricky: you *better* know how to pull it off. Rodney and Phyllis both knew, when it was OK to be real rather than "whatever."
Yesss 👍
So true!
@@calicokush was he the love child of Benny Hill and Henny Youngman?
Yup!!!
Phyllis Diller submitted her photo for a beauty contest. They sent it back and told her they didn't accept X-rays.
LOL!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved her growing up. My dad met her. She lived next door to a girl he dated in college. He said she was the same in real life as she was on stage.
THAT is *so* cool!
She is from STL. Her old house is in Webster Groves. Politically incorrect is what made her funny. God knows we could use a little of that today. Vincent Price lived here as well. Tell me that's not a big bucket of scary lol
"When she forgets to shave her legs it looks like two caterpillars carrying a cigarette" LOL
Bra burning in the 1960s was huge for women's right. Phyllis said she only believe half of it, so she just burnt one cup hahaha
That's a good one! She was something! What a woman!!
Phillis is a comedian who will be remembered for her humour for many years tro come.
So that means your at least 100 years old?
That is so true.
As a kid, I guess I laughed because one can visualize most of her jokes. She said she's a bad mom because for years she thought ketchup was a vegetable.

I saw her live at the Playboy club back around 1970. She had me laughing during the whole show.
I have a feeling I'm going to be watching a Phyllis Diller marathon.
Loved Phyllis. She was one of a kind.
Phyllis Diller was a trail blazer, a real comic legend. The way she laughs at her own Jokes is priceless.
She enjoyed making us laugh.
I wish she didn't laugh at her own jokes.

A definite comic legend. Right up there with George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bob Hope, Rodney Dangerfield, and Milton Berle.
Don't put Rodney up there with Phyllis. He's at the bottom. If anyone, replace Rodney with Allen Burns or Johnny Carson.
Replace Rodney Dangerfield with Don Rickles

She was like Jonathan Winters, and he was like her. Genius.
I absolutely adored her. RIP, Phyllis. We loved you.
*Phyllis Diller was NOT politically incorrect. By the politics of her day, she was spot on.*
That whole era I Still watch, Johnny Carson still has class !!!
'Phyllis Diller in a mini-skirt...' is an all-purpose punchline😂😂😂
She was so big back in the day she even made it on Scooby Doo.
I remember that.
And we all know that they wouldn’t let just anyone on that show.
😁
o h .. yes I remember that. Now I want to find the episode! 👍💙💜💛💓
Now if u make it on Scooby-Doo you have made it for sure
She's still Funny
We miss you Ms.Phyllis Diller
She was my favorite Comedy Star 🌟 ❤
She truly was a classy, talented, and hilarious one of a kind lady!
But she wasn't funny in this appearance.
Hello Rachel how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Not a single profanity, and she is hilarious!👏
@Baby Hunn: Oh, the horror!! 😆😉
🥱
That's because it was for TV. In Vegas it's completely different story.
Phyllis accomplished a lot in her 95 years including what I consider her GREATEST role as the mother of 6 children....
She was a beautiful soul

My favorite Diller joke ; I hate cleaning the house, that's why I like to serve chocolate cake, it doesn't show the dirt.🤣
Another one: I don't understand the whole bother with cleaning house anyway. 6 months later you just got to do it all over again.
She had a great laugh.

She was a contestant on Groucho Marx show in the 50s
Absolutely the best female comic and all around wonderful human being. Class.❤
Great clip. Phyllis Diller was a legend. Was actually attractive and had shapely legs. Always tended to hear her laugh and dismiss her looks.
I would love to see her do a show today 3/4of the audience would spontaneously combust
Love this lady she was an absolute class act.
How I long for the days when comedians could be funny, not vulgar, and we could laugh and enjoy, and no one was offended. Sigh...
Hello Mary 😊
I find your comment both laughable and offensive -- you're part of the problem!
My mother lived this lady!
Her husband, Fang. Always cracked me up as a kid, even if I didn't get the rest of the joke.
When you hear her jokes about Fang (fictional character).....as a guy, you decide then, to stay single :)
am i the only one here due to Ginger Minj Snatch game of love at RPDR?
In addition to everything else she did, she was awesome as Peter's mother on Family Guy. The Mexican abortion clinic story about Peter's birth is a classic.
