Sanford and Son Intro

[tszubasc]

actually, i think that the The Jeffersons is the greatest American sitcom ever. same producer though.

[gmccord1970]

I want that truck!! They don't make 'em like they used to nowadays.

[cheifsms]

Esther you ugly!!! lol



[ilyes94]

I'm here because of SCRUBS

[DavidB45Mustard]

I was in the Navy stationed in Rota, Spain. When Redd Foxx performed there in an airplane hanger in 1983 or 84. Good gosh was he funny. People were rolling on the floor and my side hurt so much the next day from laughing so hard...!!

[joejoewest]

Happy 40th anniversary, Sanford and Son!

[Matty1973gb]

@parkswing - he stopped moving in the shot before - woops

[sixsixxsixxxx]

@Matty1973gb thats because he is STOPPED, genius

[Matty1973gb]

@sixsixxsixxxx That's WHAT I SAID, genius. I was explaining to Parkswing why he was wrong to complain about the background not moving.

[parkswing]

The background isn't moving as he drives along...woops

[smoketunes]

dam this show was the shit !

[xxpeniskingxx]

Ghostpolitics brought me here.

[iusethelancer1]

@xxpeniskingxx WELCOME TO JUNKYARD AMERICA!

[AlexandrusMegus]

Scrubs brought me here..

[MrMachinimator]

Quiet down now. It is time to watch the show. Yes its starting. Dont be licking me no more. Matter fact could you pass me a handy wiiiiippeee!!! lol 

[JiminyKracker]

Thanks Cracked. I'm gonna have this in my head all day now

[MajorBerk1089]

Stop saying it's the greatest American sitcom ever. It was completely based on a British TV show. Stop remaking every British tv show into something half as good and just watch the original.

[MsPmonkey]

i wishever i walked in a room this song would play...

[InfernalXpression]

WELCOME TO JUNKYARD AMERICA BABY!!!!! YEUH YEUH!!

[24Optimistic]

I was born in the 90's decade, but I love this show

[MrMachinimator]

Ive never seen this show but i just love the theme song

[l85a1user]

im 14 years old and i respect this show it is one of the greatest american sitcom EVARR

[KniferAssassin]

Scrubs does it better :D

[OnMy88Shit]

@KniferAssassin normally i'd say respect everybody's opinion but scrubs as trash, what are you talking about

[CosmonautGhost]

SAVE MADE! CURTIS SANFORD!

[MP1VHT]

No tv sitcom has ever grasped the struggle of the African-American family as well as Sanford and Son. This tv series is a reflection of the hardships they faced, but shows their great strengths in the face of adversity. This show should be heralded for its bravery.

[Aerohunde]

A classic.

Thirty years later and that song still rattles around in my head once in awhile.

[vandaltelevision]

I believe by the video's description that you actually meant 'The greatest British Sitcom adapted for American television ever' :)..

[Jiltedin2007]

Does anyone remember Lamont breaking into Archie Bunker's house?

[Jiltedin2007]

Hey Lamont, do you remember breaking in Archie Bunker's house?

[bigmanpac]

36 morons who like todays sitcoms.

[MrPhoenis]

i loved this show. i remember when he grabbed an old tire and a piece of rope and tied it on and said, custom gorila swing, $75.

[goldensparkle444]

i luv this show

[waterman1976]

i used to tune in for the theme song and then change it

[renno103]

@GodofAnotherWorId hahaha! :')

[1skullduggery]

some of the scripts were a little thin.

[alphaclown]

35 people are fish eyed fools!

[Superthug203]

Fred G. Sanford, The G stood for GANGSTA!!!

[goldensparkle444]

@Superthug203 straight up G!

[crimeoffashion]

Haha I don't even like this show. I like the intro. I am so weird. 

[notpcone]

Pure Funk !!

[zordee]

Fair enough that younger people can like this and other older shows, but it looks more like kids are bragging about watching it and stating their age only because they think its 'cool' and 'hip' to like retro things.

Why can't they just enjoy the show without bringing their age into it like it is supposed to impress us or something.

[bleedingheart12009]

@ghwlla Your age may play a part in whether you've seen a show or not, but it does not play a part in whether you might like it or not.

[avq5]

this show is wack.. who wants a show about a guy drivin a truck and another guy sittin in front of a store

[loungelizard5000]

@avq5 You sir, are a moron. It's about comedy. Not "sittin' in front of a store." Redd Foxx and Wanda Page were brilliant comedians. But you are to much of an ignorant fucking moron to realize that.

[goldensparkle444]

@loungelizard5000 i agree with you.

[goldensparkle444]

@avq5 thatz NOT what the show was about. GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT B4 U COMMENT, SMART ONE. why even bother commenting on something when you dont even KNOW WHATS GOING ON?!!?

[ablestmage]

@avq5 - old people don't know how to get trolled, well played

[TheWeirdMatt]

@avq5 Oh, you make me laugh. :p

[mrfreeze0054]

I wonder if they created another Sanford and Son based in the 2011 Watts?!

[goldensparkle444]

@mrfreeze0054 i thought about that 2!

[Iaokanan29]

Now let's welcome Ray Patterson!

[LordWellington15]

@supermegacheeseboy guy 3: your comment was lame

[l85a1user]

@LordWellington15 i agree :D

[l85a1user]

@LordWellington15 guy 4: yeah hey want gets some hookers esa?

[TheSwimmer19]

thumbs up if friends brought you here

[pokeFAN434]

[mcafton]

[kit2066]

[drenchedincense]

I am nicknamed after Sanford and I LOVE IT! signed, Ms. Amy

[BigkKinny]

This is my ringtone haha

[patbowmaster96]

34 people are hereby deputized by red foxx as dummies!



[Bobharris99]

@patbowmaster96 As big dummies.

[YouGotOdenated]

@patbowmaster96 Redd Foxx. If you're gonna say stupid shit like this, at least spell it right.

Especially since it's right there in the fucking video.

[clintonearlwalker]

I remember I was in prison, I'm a white guy but about 98% of the other inmates were black. They sent me to another prison and I was in a hall with about 300 other black inmates and I heard a guy yell, "I want my daddy's records", it was a guy I knew from the last prison. I think about that every time I see Sanford and Son.

[littlebit19801]

Watch this opening with the Wonder Years theme music, it's trippy!

[KillSwitch2]

Great organ playing, harmonica, one groovy as hell bassline and to top it all off it's got cowbell. Yep, tv theme songs don't get much better than this.

[handymandan100]

@KillSwitch2 ...actually, I think that may be wood-block, not cowbell, ain'a?

[abSOULuteD]

if I feel your sneeze, i'll drop ya to yo kneez. Haha imagine if Redd said that in the show to someone haha

[JDog70560]

BEST TV SHOW EVER!!!!!!! Man, I love this show. Lots of GREAT memories. RIP Redd Foxx.

[Defham]

I brought me here

[evan22303]

33 people are big dummies.

[TheGrotesqueReality]

@evan22303 33 people are having an affair with Steptoe!

[edbad85]

Apparently based on the sitcom "Steptoe & Son" but by the looks of things only loosely

[TheGreatRisik9001]

Quit down now! It is time to watch the show. Yes it started! Don't be licking me no more. In a matter a fact could you give ma handy wide...

[dmitchy1]

ghost brought me here.

[sassysoo2003]

I heard this a Kroger the other day over the Speaker system! I couldn't believe it!

[Snotra]

Listen to the bass playing on this motha!!!

[TLCfan4life317]

i love this show lol

[TBlenx1995]

This show is based on the British show "Steptoe and Son"

[TheArsenalgooner]

@TBlenx1995 THANK YOU!! So many think this was some part of some Lefty plot to "blend the states" it was just the Black American version of Steptoe. Cheers!

[gabbacadabra07]

If this song could play as I'm walking to my car for work in the morning, I think my entire day would be AWESOME

[napelvision]

@gabbacadabra07 I am gonna put this on my I pod, and do exactly that! Except I will play it walking from my car into work and I will be straight up pimpin' my neezies!

[PopsDizzy]

Quincy Jones... GENIUS!

[VIKINGHUN]

How 'bout five of these where you sneeze?...LOL

[manguera21]

Simpsons & Futurama

[rynoi]

30 people had the "Big One!"

[redsoxandme]

I once knew i guy that was very racist. every time i came over his house he was watching Sanford and Son and laughing his ass off. Just to show how good red foxx was. True Legend.

[TheBlackrebels]

15 and lovin this show

[nw0]

I watch this on a fox station digital signal, the hobo in the bath tubs my favorite

[tekon1994]

this is my ringtone

[Schumitastic]

Does Sanford and Son use the same scripts as Steptoe and Son?

[mikero08]

@Schumitastic It was based on that show, which is duly noted in the closing credits.

[foggygoggle]

@Schumitastic Who cares dummy .

[Liv553]

This is my ringtone.

[IrishMinecraft]

ahhh scrubs

[Zombiehomie]

leroy you dummy

[juliadennehy]

Next to Jethro's truck, without a doubt, the biggest piece of shit on the road. =)!

[TrishaDishaWarEagle]

this song makes me think of michelle obama eating fried lard cakes and chitlins in africa....and before you scream racism..that was the actual menu in kenya..i mean obama being a hometown boy and all.. Unfortunately watermelon doesn't grow so well in central african soil.

[lonzo1906]

@TrishaDishaWarEagle

Aw Burn sux

[bowtie3]

@TrishaDishaWarEagle Wow a typical racist republican. I'm shocked!, not.

Idiot.

[TrishaDishaWarEagle]

@bowtie3

You big dummy!

[bowtie3]

@TrishaDishaWarEagle idiot

[wowza191]

I have never seen this show before but somewhere i got this catchy tune.. bum bum baa dum, bum bum bada bada bum! x

Junkyard America

[Stortsavn]

Quiet down now

It is time to watch the show

Yes, it's started

Don't be lickin' me no mo'

Matter fact, could you give me a handy

Whiiiipeeee?

[code3mmc]

Sanford & Son were the original American Pickers !!!!

[zordee]

Why are people saying how old they are? Being a teenager shouldn't be a factor in liking certain things.

[AJCM3]

@zordee exactly but people are arrogant.

[VindictiveDuelin2011]

@zordee I guess it's cause something old, like this, is something they never grew up with, yet they still love it. I'm like that a LOT! I mean, you typically like the things you grow up with, not the stuff from before your own time (in some to most cases.)

[esprit15d]

@zordee It just shows the timelessness of certain things. Some things don't stand the test of time, and some things do.

[flexharder]

poor man's steptoe & son.

[CircusofPython]

Imagine making love to a woman with this song playing in the background.

[JazzKeyboardist1]

@CircusofPython since you are a good keyboard player,,, have you ever talked your lady into giving a happy ending while covering this song? talk about Good Goobly Goop, Grady,,lol

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

I am surprised no one has commented on this video that the instrument you hear at the beginning is a bass harmonica.

[HUNTER3854]

@greenty yes who ever watches sanford and son is a scrub becuse i have to watch it every night at dinner :(

[greentey]

[pbnjp]

A song this good and pure can combat even the worst of evil.

[tmw214]

Greatest theme song ever

[jerrymouse16]

29 people are big dummies!

[cdmiller5201]

you heathens! This was one of my favorites. I will never forget some of the banter between Fred and Esther.

[speedytwicepipes]

Hey dummy!

[dvlsgod]

When it comes to sitcoms, I pity the younger crowd.......

[quirpco]

That '52 Ford was 20 years old when this show started, so if they made the show today, Lamont might be driving a '91 Ford pickup.

Just wouldn't be the same, would it?

[shivercanada]

If this came out now it would be father and son with an Ebay store. :P

[gmccord1970]

28 people weren't able to sell their junk

[panagiotisgeorgiou]

i came here from chandler in friends

[dntlss]

best show ever and they way things used to be, its funny that nowadays we cant say this or say that and our world has gone to pot but back then you could say whatever was on your mind and the world was a great place (at least better than this shithole we live in these days) they made fun of everybody in this show and i loved it for that,no one was spared,awesome!!!!

[JawsJaws]

Redd Foxx is a racist in real life

[MetalHeart8787]

@JawsJaws hes Not alive anymore.

& NO he wasn't!

[JazzKeyboardist1]

@MetalHeart8787 Redd was great winner when I played poker with him around 1982,, Chris Rock has a hilarious routine about ,,, if anyone has a good reason to be a racist,, it is blacks that lived the jim crow life before MLK jr,,

[lafrancesean]

You ALL need help!

Please have those kind of conversations on Twitter or Face Book or something. If a 6 year old likes Sanford and Son, does he or she have to be exposed to this language and prejudiced behavior?

Sicko!

[CgPallaeon]

NEXT ON HOARDERS CAN THIS MAN FINALLY SELL HIS JUNK OR FOREVER BE TRAPPED IN A SITCOM

[mumbojumbo766]
