@@edgefan4437 Who knows, Julie could have even asked the movie's costume designer, her ex husband Tony Walton, to design Carol's dress to be exactly like her own, as accurate as it could possibly be. Her dress looks exactly the same in the film.
@@matthewcole4753 I didn't think of the costume being the same either. I'm pretty sure I've actually never seen all of the movie Mary Poppins. That movie has never been shown a lot like some of her other movies like The Sound of Music or Victor/Victoria.

Harvey Korman said they had elaborate costumes and musical numbers every week, that they somehow managed to turn in a Broadway Revue every week in a season.
Surely, the studios wouldn't lend out Julie Andrews actual costume? When Carol Burnett turns away from the camera, the coat appears to be split up the back seam ....
@@seasmacfarlane6418 They might have loaned it out, this was only about 10 years after the movie, so who knows? It does have many of the same details. They didn't treat movie costumes with any notion of preservation back then. Maybe Julie pulled some strings for her friend and got it, it was probably just moldering in a warehouse somewhere. Vivien Leigh's dress from the shanty town scene in Gone With the Wind was found crumpled up on the floor in a costume warehouse and was slated to be thrown out.
I remember this skit from the 1970s. I remember laughing about this many times over the years. The Carol Burnett show was truly, truly a fantastic time of entertainment. As the stomach turns is one of my very favorite segments.
Let's give credit where credit is due. Bob Mackie designed all of Carol's costumes and he did a fabulous job copying the Mary Poppins outfit. I loved the outfits that he made for the Joan Crawford look and my all time favorite gag costume was the Gone With the Wind dress with the curtain rod still attached to the dress. Bob Mackie deserves an award for his costumes!

“Tell me, what is this medicine for?” “Diabetes!” I lost it!!!!!

They could pull off a show like this when there were only three channels to watch so there wasn't as much competition as there is today. A popular show like this could pull in 30-40% of the viewing audience in its time slot, so they could charge advertisers rates that shows today can only dream of. The landscape of today's endless programming choices provides much smaller viewing audiences and thus much smaller budgets. In interviews Carol Burnett has stated that the cost of doing that show today would run from seven to eight figures - per episode!
As far as sketch shows, it's surprisingly consistent. SNL has always been inconsistent, and that's been true since it premiered in 1975. But there have been lots of really good sitcoms over the past 10 years. My current favorite is Ted Lasso, followed by Abbot Elementary. The absolute best comedies over the past 10 years, imho, have been The Good Place, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Community, Please Like Me (an Australian show that's on Hulu), Schitt's Creek, and Ted Lasso. But one nice thing is that we can now find so many shows, mostly on Hulu and Netflix, that we could watch almost any show that was ever fairly successful. Some are even on the Roku channel for free.
I so grew up watching this show as a little girl families yes married families had everything done dinner cooked and ate homework done to sit and watch television as a family but this was when television shows were worth watching it’s why I thank god everyday I was born in 1972 🙏🏿
Let me guess.....that was Flying nun´s sister 🤣and she's going to try to get the lady of the house out of alcoholism and the poor lady going to end up like Grandpa and Reggie, LOL
Actually, "Three Caballeros" came three years before "Song of the South." The latter, incidentally, was still in regular theatrical release in those days, the height of the Black Power movement.
When Disney wanted to make "Song of the South", many people warned him not to, because it was full of material that would be considered very racist, even in the 1940s. But he was too blinded by his passion for those stories of his boyhood, and he went ahead with it. And it did spark protests for its racist content. The company finally reissued it in the 1980s, before locking it in the vaults.
@@OofusTwillip Walt was probably a product of his time, but racism in his movies wasn't limited to Song of the South. The lazy jive-talking crows in Dumbo are often mentioned as an example. The worst thing is that the racism continues ... people asked Whoopi Goldberg why she agreed to voice one of the hyenas in The Lion King. She said I'm an old black woman in Hollywood, I need the work. Part of the issue in cartoons is that you need a unique "voice" for each character so that you know which one is talking. "Oliver and Company" included ethnic accents: Cheech Marin voiced the Chihuahua. Music by Billy Joel incidentally, it was quite good and idk why it's not often seen.
I couldn't get interested in "Mary Poppins" (except for the songs, I loved the songs), but I love this parody. Though I wish someone had the entire Disney tribute. I read about Harvey Korman and Martha Raye doing a parody of one of those old Disney nature shows.
pinching bottoms in public or at work was not uncommon. Happened to stewardesses (back when that was a pink-collar job, lower-paying careers that women got shuffled inti.) But hey, a friend of mine got pinched in the hallway at NASA in 1988. And you couldn't complain if you wanted to keep your job - there was always an excuse they could use ("not a team player" was one.)
First time seeing this sketch. Never saw it in any of the reruns of Carol's skits, and I've seen a slew of them over decades past on network reruns and cable TV and home video, etc. This wasn't up to snuff, at least for me. The movie takeoffs on Carol's show could be really fun and funny-- usually. There was potential here (really, this is Disney at its zenith, and a marvelous movie from 1964) but I guess time restraints and the guest stars limited things-- who knows. "The Simpsons" did a marvelous spoof in season 8, episode 13 (1997). But to be fair they had a big stable of writers and were able to create parody songs with all new, funny lyrics.
This was weaker than what we're used to. It's from when the show was still finding its feet. Many episodes from those early years tended to be hit-and-miss, which is why Carol didn't syndicate them. Still, it's interesting to watch the show evolving.
@@josephlauriezaepfel7924 It aged better than some. In fact, it has even been considered "ahead of its time" or even "woke" because both the men who harassed women in the sketch were punished. Believe it or not, this was considered "subtile" at the time.
They’d film two versions, one in the morning where they more or less stuck to the script and another later where they’d cut loose and try to bust one another up. Usually it was the second version that ended up on the air.
no. except maybe Tim Conway. Sometimes it was just his unexpected delivery that made it funny. JLD is correct about them filming two shows. AFAIK they'd edit and use whatever parts were the best. Them trying not to laugh was usually the funniest.
This would never fly these days. It would be labeled as misogynistic and criticized for not being diverse. I'm glad we have these old clips to look back on
I love comments like this one! Misogynistic? The two men who are shown to harass women are both killed by a female character.. If recreated today, people would complain that it is too "woke"!
Carol and Harvey I know. The other two I recognize, but don't know. Anybody out there know their names and are willing to share them? I couldn't find them in the description.
Humor references to sex were common back in the days when you couldn't SHOW it on tv. Comic panels in those days, like vintage Hollywood Squares and The Match Game were laden with them. As a kid I thought it was cool and funny.
Only a fraction of Carol's sketches were funny, but the good ones were gold. Vicki got better quickly, and Carol was generous enough to give her more work, especially Mama. I read that it was decided that Vicki was so good playing Carol's mother that they wouldn't bother using makeup to age her. Look closely, it's true; she was a real babyface under that grey wig. Lyle was one of the very last pretty boys of the studio system; brought in young and taught acting, singing, dancing. He was good, but underemployed by Carol.
Gotta agree with you….everybody in the skit is talented to the max, but you’re right--it didn’t have the light-hearted wit the Burnett sketches usually had.
Romans 12:2 KJV And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
I think this one was actually kind of woke, as Carol fought back. This was at the height of the "women's lib" movement in the 1970s - lib for liberation from the absence of choices permitted to women. If you didn't get married you were likely to starve or live in grinding poverty because you couldn't get hired in decent paying jobs. Families refused to let their daughters pursue education. As much as Affirmative Action has pissed people off, it made the sight of women more familiar in the workplace. In 1990 at an ENGINEERING job fair an asshole asked me if I was a secretary (Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, thanks.) And without quotas I was unlikely to get hired. Affirmative Action is a lousy solution ... but nobody has come up with a better one
I usually love Carol Burnett's movie parodies and her other skits are usually at least witty and clever. However, this one fell very short. People bemoaning comedy "today" (not sure what "today" means as it's been 5-6 decades since this show aired) but liking this skit just shows they're only judging on nostalgia. This one was just based on juvenile potty humor and spitting (even more sophomoric than what we see "today"). The alcoholic mom was trying so hard but nothing she did was funny. Vicky Lawrence taking off her uniform hardly garnered a laugh from the audience, and the horny son/grandfather went over like a lead balloon. Once Carol came in, I thought some energy would be put into this skit but even she couldn't save this one. This was the worst skit of the show I've seen.
@@thegreencat9947 If you'd seen many of the other parodies, you'd see the difference. I was a hard-core viewer. Things like "Went with the Wind" (parody of Gone with the Wind) were a scream. Likewise other old Hollywood movies whose names I can't remember lol.
And Song of the South, which was a fantastic movie, is now considered politically incorrect, and you can't even find it anywhere anymore. What a shame.
Ephesians 5:1-7 KJV 1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
I wouldn't say so. Lots of people make jokes about molestation to this day, and the Internet provides increased access to varied senses of humor; large corporations just don't consider it economical to risk causing outrage or discomfort by making grim jokes, and corporate mergers and the increasing landscape of monopoly in the entertainment industry makes this more apparent. Not to mention, those who want to make grim jokes nowadays generally don't execute them with any thought or intelligence, so the choices are either a complete lack of molestation jokes, or a raunchy comedian telling a very literal and devoid-of-layers rape joke and then spending thirty minutes reveling in how offensive he is despite the fact that he still has a large platform to tell those jokes, contradicting the idea that he's being meaningfully subversive at all. With very few exceptions. Personally, I haven't heard very many molestation jokes that were funny enough to be worth the subject matter. This was a fine one, because there was actually something to it. The quantity of comedians nowadays who think ranting about "not being PC" is a good use of their set, rather than constructing interesting jokes, kind of ruins a lot of gallows humor.
Carol must’ve had a blast poking fun at her BFF Julie with this sketch.
I will give her that. The first time I’ve seen Carols face was Julie leading her Kennedy Center Honors tribute.

“Diabetes!”

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
I always thought Martha Raye was funny and I still think the same. Reggie the son looks like Mel Torme.
Oh oh...they played a clip from the dangerous, subversive and harmful Song of the South! Cancel them alllll! Reeeeee! I have PTSD.
Have you recovered yet from your faux outrage?
@jaengen No, I haven't. 2 years later and I'm still crying it out on my fainting couch. I hope you took it for the sarcasm it was.
Imagine molesting jokes in 2022😂😂😂😂. It’s truly funny but comedy has been ruined by politics and woke ideology.
I wouldn't say so. Lots of people make jokes about molestation to this day, and the Internet provides increased access to varied senses of humor; large corporations just don't consider it economical to risk causing outrage or discomfort by making grim jokes, and corporate mergers and the increasing landscape of monopoly in the entertainment industry makes this more apparent.
Not to mention, those who want to make grim jokes nowadays generally don't execute them with any thought or intelligence, so the choices are either a complete lack of molestation jokes, or a raunchy comedian telling a very literal and devoid-of-layers rape joke and then spending thirty minutes reveling in how offensive he is despite the fact that he still has a large platform to tell those jokes, contradicting the idea that he's being meaningfully subversive at all. With very few exceptions.
Personally, I haven't heard very many molestation jokes that were funny enough to be worth the subject matter. This was a fine one, because there was actually something to it. The quantity of comedians nowadays who think ranting about "not being PC" is a good use of their set, rather than constructing interesting jokes, kind of ruins a lot of gallows humor.
You must not watch much current tv. Turn on the comedy channel and you may be surprised. But then your tv probably never deviates from FoxNews.
Nice when comedy was that - funny.....without all the cursing etc that is considered funny today
Song of the South is a beautiful movie about a friendship between a white boy and a black man.
Which is now considered racist. 🙄
This has to be the least funny sketch they ever did on the show!
