Rowan & Martin Laugh In - Quickies #1

[scubielouie]

7:50 Where do I get a Laugh-In Shower Curtain????????????

[scubielouie]

Colonial Sanders!?!?!?!

[beaubeatlesgirl222]

this is great! :D

[kljMN2]

I always loved it when Lily Tomlin was that 'Mrs. Beasley', the proper and "tasteful" woman who liked things totally "tasteful'... The best was when Mrs. Beasley would get water thrown on her... hilarious.

Lily's scenes on Laugh-In was always 'totally tasteful.'

[620DK]

We used (most) of these jokes for our spring concert and we had a ball! Thanks for the uploads!!!



[jerzeefranky3475]

THIS IS STILL THE EPITOME OF "FREAKIN' GENIUS"...

[ANATOLIACHTZEIN]

I wish they'd bring back the laugh track machine, it enlivened any show even dull ones. Most people don't realize R & M's show was all canned laughter, not one live clap or laugh. It sounds so fake and bizarre now even though i honestly loved the show way back when.

[venetiaster]

film of the weak XD im so funny...shutup

[LeadGuardian]

Oh America still has talent, we just made the mistake of letting the population with the lowest IQ have buying power. And it turns out the big corps found more money there. Go figure.

[jsbach15]

Love your channel and videos! Wonderful memories. I'm your newest fan and subscriber.

[freddielaker2]

these were the best

[jhniscolV2]

@Lester1Beck

you mean George Carline, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, and Lenny Bruce?

I am just 18 years old, however, you complaining that comedians today are too dirty is an extremely hypocritical statement. I can understand the appeal to this comedy since I personally LOVE Laugh In, however the stand up of the late 60s-early 70s era is about as clean as the under side of my boot

[TrappedIn1968]

One of my all time favorite shows. My mom used the privilege of me staying up as late as 8 PM on a Monday night to get me to behave all week. I especially loved Ruth Buzzi, Artie Johnson, Dennis Allen, and JoAnne Worley. When NBC cancelled Laugh-In in 1973, I was devastated. An outstanding show packed with wacky fun, Laugh-In still casts a long shadow over TV for me.

[Tejinako]

@Lester1Beck I've watched British comedy, and it's not a a hair more high-brow.

[listerone]

@Lester1Beck Absolutely correct.The comedy on our TV back then was great and today it stinks.But assuming that you're a Brit (because of your "yanks" reference) I've gotta tell you that *your* comedy ain't what it used to be either.Have you ever seen "The Inbetweeners"???

[ipolson]

Well, I saw some current American so called ' comedians' on the Joan Rivers 'Roast' and I just found them depressing. Just foul-mouthed crap which you can hear on any street corner or bar. No talent whatsover. Bored the pants off me. If you cant be funny, then at least be witty, but they weren't even that. Sad, given the wealth of comedic talent in the past. People say 'Everything from the past is better' because, in the main, its true ! Thats why there are teens at McCartney concerts.

[ilovetortillas]

i loved watching this as a kid on nick at nite!!

[tw69hands2]

@ilovetortillas:

I loved watching it as a kid on regular tv with the rabbit ears, back when you only had channels 2, 4, and 7.

[dtek40k]

@Lester1Beck

*decides to list several funny American comedians working today*

Zack Galifinakis, Patton Oswalt, Paul F. Tompkins, Marc Maron, Doug Benson, Louis C.K., Sarah Silverman, etc *goes on to list TV shows* It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, 30 Rock, Arrested Development etc. You've managed to combine two of my biggest pet peeves, the "Everything American Sucks" attitude and the "Everything from the past is better" attitude. I hate generalizations.

[DynamiteKiwi]

@Lester1Beck that's all good and stuff, but did you even understand the jokes? half of them were sex jokes

[tavanweerd]

@Lester1Beck I agree -- regrettably, my fellow countrymen lost their sense of humor sometime after the 1980s. There are some funny people in America -- although it took an Englishman to ferret them out: "John Oliver's New York Stand-up Show" on Comedy Central gave me hope that there is still intelligent humor here. Only six episodes, but Oliver's guests had material far superior to the commonplace racist, scatological schlock that passes for stand-up these days.

[scorepyo]

That's a big overgeneralization. You're really pathetic.

[MrSluggo666]

@Lester1Beck What the fuck do you mean ??  excuse me will ya, i need to take a crap!

[Flagman00]

@Lester1Beck True. We are getting stupider by the day!

[elvisflorian]

I like this video but I still think elvisflorian is funnier .

[BlakeVII]

I wanna see the sketch where all the girls were dressed as meter maids singing The meter maid song... that was kinda groovy

[Elric33239]

I remember Billy Graham interupting a joke by saying "Now I must point out that The Bible clearly states "Thou shalt not steal!" Good times!

[Meridian83West]

The skit featuring Dan Rowan and Sammy Davis Jr. as two Mexican stag filmmakers reminded me of an old network joke from back in those days: You want to end the war in Vietnam? Put it on ABC and it'll be over in 13 weeks!

[nomadnametab]

i remembered so many of these skits from when i was a kid. thank you for putting them on. my dad always lost it at the guy on the tricycle. i found out later that once long before i was born he and my uncle were stuck out on the edge of town while my aunt and mother had the car. they wanted to get to the bar so they borrowed transportation from my cousins. my uncle a girl's bike and my dad didnt fit so he borrowed a tricycle. my aunt and mother were so embarassed. lol

[JMFabianoRPL]

4:33....Sally Field with an Oscar? Naaaaaaah, never will happen...

[JMFabianoRPL]

The quickie stinger music also is awesome.

[JMFabianoRPL]

There needs to be MORE DVDs of this.

[LucilleBall8611]

i love Laugh In!

[hjb103055]

107 people commented and I think only one or two of them know it's Kirk Douglas at 2:15. He's also Michael Douglas's father.

[Christinacolasanto]

Dirty Dirty DIRTY!!

[storrs19]

Trio and Nick GAS (Games & Sports) were two of the last channels that I enjoyed watching. Of course both are gone now as usual. Trio showed some great shows that nobody else would touch. Now we have our 200+ channels and nothing on any of them.

[greg5566]

That was an amazing eight minutes. So much there was unbelievable! First, the guest stars! Jack Benny, Col. Sanders (?!), James Garner. James Garner looked retarded in that beard. Then the black girl hits on Garner and Artie Johnson says "right now in Birmingham they're running a test pattern." That was amazing.

And "Leave it to Beaver"!!! And then Lily Tomlin gets up with her legs open and the sound comes out?! Man this was really funny!

I even got the joke about mustaches and socks!

[kljMN2]

I absolutely loved Lily Tomlin on this show especially Mrs. Beasley who thought everything was NOT totally tasteful.

[kljMN2]

Anyone got any clips on Mrs. Beasley getting hit with a bucket of water?

[kljMN2]

GOTCHA!

[kljMN2]

When did Dan Rowan pass away?

[CraigFoye80]

@kljMN2 The legendary comedian Dan Rowan died at age 65 on September 22nd, 1987.

[twieneke76]

@Lester1Beck Oh please....like you've had a good act since Monty Python....lol

[fattoler]

@twieneke76 Blackadder?

[twieneke76]

@fattoler Black Adder had it's share of "toilet humor". Hello Black Russian codpiece? lol

[Rawk4Life]

Unfortunately, the toilet humor has been going on since George Carlin in the 70's.

[GrigoriZhukov]

@Rawk4Life It's older than that bubba...goes back a couple thousand years.

[Rawk4Life]

You're wrong and I will tell you why. Physical comedy and stand up DID NOT exist before the 20th Century. The only comedy that was around before 1900 was in stage plays.

[GrigoriZhukov]

@Rawk4Life uh if that's what you think...just remember if it wasn't documented it never happend.

[kljMN2]

"In MY day, quickies were MUCH quicker..."

[alabamagirl49]

YOU BET YOUR SWEET BIPPY

[fattoler]

Colonel SANDERS?

[kljMN2]

I love the scenes where JoAnne Worley sings....

[lemonade2cold]

Geesh, I miss shows like Laugh-In so much... back then TV was campy, was silly and sexy and was definitely BETTER!!!! These days too many so-called 'Reality Shows', too many cookie-cutter dramas that just re-treads of old ideas. Bring back variety shows! In the meantine, this fall be sure to look out for such 'hits'(sic) as "CSI: Lincoln, Nebraska", "Law & Order: Boise, Idaho" and "Survivor: Coney Island"

[metatronius]

@lemonade2cold Back then, TV was shit. No South Park, Deadwood, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and the greatest show in the history of the television medium, The Wire. TV has evolved, not devolved. Shove that Dick Clark nostalgia up your ass.

[lemonade2cold]

@metatronius oh sure.. TV have evolved... 163 channels on digital cable and nothing worth watching. And stop freaking on my ass, I prefer women.

[sapphiretaurus]

@metatronius No, TV today is shit, and your post summed it up. With idiots like you in the audience, it' no wonder. Now take that and shove it up your ass.

[iHit99x2]

This just reminds from back in the day how unfunny this show was.

Artie Johnson's very interesting was very intersting, as was Goldie Hahn's ditz, and Ernestine the Operator, but gawd, Jo Ann Worley was just loud and obnoxious.

The Smothers Brothers were faaarr better...

[Rawk4Life]

You must be 12 I am guessing? You have to be very young not to appreciate traditional slapstick humor.

[hegs2]

@Lester1Beck how old are you? 60?

[conkantzos]

Marvelous!!!

[sweetshaman]

awful

awful

awful

[Bladerunner93]

OMG the leave it to beaver joke killed me!

Something about a quickie with Goldie Hawk appeals to me...

[Zampano100]

OH MY GOD ROD SERLING!!!!!!

[Teflon65]

@Zampano100 I love it! Never thought I'd see Rod Serling making jokes about sex films, at least not on camera. I read that he did have a fairly ribald sense of humor in private.

[alcatras4]

Correction ACNC1. America has talent...Vast talent. But the greed of the "producers" these days is greater. They put profit before quality. Be it in music, TV, Movies. They sell "disposable" entertainment. Put one good song on a 10 song CD. That one song will enable them to sell millions and the 9 others are junk. Same with TV shows and ARRRGG MOVIES. They unashamley do mediocre versions of old classics (Hulk,Godzilla,War of the Worlds,Titanic ect.) anyway, they didn't see the originals.

[exodia1510]

2:59... THE Colonel Harland Sanders, Real Dude...Im sure many know this...but in case you dont....There ya go! :)

[metatronius]

This is not funny.

[lemonade2cold]

@metatronius if you don't think Laugh-In is funny you're either under 15yo or havve no sense of humor

[artvandelay13]

@lemonade2cold Well that's awfully close-minded...

[Ibhenriksen]

dick-dick doo doo?

[micmac99]

Laugh-In and early SNL was the closest America got to Python.

[dolphinbuc]

Please find the clip where Ben Powers was on the show.I almost passed out as a child watching that episode.

[mollybabygirl1]

I use to watch this with my Mother when I was a kid oh boy it went over my head then. LoL.

[TomAlton]

I always enjoyed Laugh In. Those tipping trikes did send me into laughter! Ah innocence....

[ACNC1]

When America HAD talent

[pcimmino]

@ACNC1 as well as international respect. If the Founders ever came back and saw what has become of the Republic they began, they would not stop vomitting.

[fishhead06]

"Leave it to Beaver" - lol! How'd that make it past the censors?

[exodia1510]

Well, back then...Like Match Game, They got away with Murder....Not anymore...Damned Prudes...

[Treemeadow]

Goooolly, Teresa and James Garner! such a true comment.

"all they'll let me do is shake your hand". Kinda proves that racial tension has a lot of blame to place on the networks. People have been more open for much longer.

[Elric33239]

@Treemeadow That was Chelsea Brown, not Teresa Graves, receiving a "walnetto."

[deloreanfan81]

RIP Henry...you will be missed

[st8184an2]

R.I.P. Henry Gibson

[DrakkenWasHere]

The tricycle makes no sense...But I find it highly amusing.

[boopyfat]

1:43 is Henry Gibson.  He was a semi -regular who often did a poem as a skit

[broncojuan]

Who is the guy at 4:13 ?

[wilakt4fud]

Peter Lawford

[spiked200]

Colonel Sanders!

ROTFL!

[deloreanfan81]

i wish our learning annex had a class in gotcha!!

[spiked200]

Check your Funk & Wagnall.

[barak9876]

It is stuck in a mayonaisse jar on my back porch.

[muffystjohn86]

HAVA NAGILA HAV-TWO NAGILA HAV-THREE NAGILA THEY'RE PRETTY SMALL!!!

lol XD!!

I love it!!!!

[sweetaliena]

Holy shit!! It's Colonel Sanders!!

[AnnieR622]

I watched it live and it was so hilarious! It was slightly risque but subtle enough that you got the joke without being offended by it with no foul language at all! Boy do I miss those days. :)

[ChopstickBrando]

Cher is hot!

[fghdkjds81]

Colonel Sanders the real Colonel Sanders OMFG!!!!!

[you2begin]

The new funny guy is Kerou, check him out before he gets too famous and starts charging for his cartoons.

[weatherman2007]

This is Gary Owens, Signing Off

AM and FM

[bitchingood]

Hilarious stuff! I can't get enough! I'm 26 and I wish I had been around to see it live. I remember the first time I saw a clip in jr. high. I almost died when I heard "Veerrry interesting." I've been saying it every since. Comedy wad real and "subtle" back then. Not over the top, stupid, raunchy and disgusting like they are now. Ahhh, those were the days..lol!

[Treemeadow]

Amen! I'm 21 and I know how you feel. I play these clips everynight instead of real TV.

Meh, THIS is REAL TV

[SockBoy65]

It always looked like they just smoked - something exotic. ;)

[deloreanfan81]

i lived on this show as a kid

[vashydana]

COLONEL SANDERS?!?!?

Omfg LMAO!!

[bgarris1]

Love them Quickies!!

[zapkvr]

Was that really Colonel Sanders?

[shawmk23]

Yes, that was the Colonel.

[AdamqK]

Thanks for posting this!

Not sure how well it dates -- and I loved this stuff the first time round -- but it looks like they all had a lot of fun, they were obviously extremely talented, and that comment after the James Garner sketch ("Verrry interesting. But in Birmingham they've been showing the test pattern") was, for its time, a pretty pointed piece of political comment.

[Flagman00]

@AdamqK Its still as funny as when I was a kid!

[Alternativesoul2008]

Is that a chicken joke?

[PsYcHoFaB]

No... just another dirty parakeet joke... ^_^

[lorimneal]

we'll call it leave it to beaver!  LOL no wonder they go canned. lol!!!

[pbanta62]

yeah, they got away with one BIG TIME there :)

[qpr60]

Just for the record...

1. Good night Dick

2. Very interesting but stupid

3. You bet your bippy

4. Sock it to me

5. Here come de judge

6. Beautiful downtown Burbank

7. Look it up in your Funk and Wagnalls

Classic stuff. (Any lines I forgot?)

[deloreanfan81]

Liberache saying "I bet my sweet bippy and lost it!" HA

[IconWatcher]

What about 'Blow in my ear'?

[Dayofthedead1976]

1 ringy dingy

2 ringy dingy

3 ringy dingy (snort)

I love that Tomlin switchboard sketch.

[zapkvr]

Ah shouldn't that be "you bet your sweet bippy"?

[rainlori]

Lily Tomlin's telephonist: "Is this the party to whom I'm speaking?"

[kpyng]

That's the most beautiful thing I ever heard.

[Elric33239]

@qpr60 "AM & FM!" "Have a walnetto!" Any reference to ABC. When Dan said "If they put it on ABC, nobody will watch it anyway!" they were referring to the show "Turn On" where half of the later Laugh-In cast like Theresa Graves came from. ABC cancelled it after the first commercial!!

[kpyng]

"I want to thank all the members of the Academy for these two fun-filled weeks at West Point."

They like Sally Field. They really like her...

[wiseanduglyone]

"very interesting!"

[LawlisMom]

Loved R&M - as as child, it was my joke chest!

[oktober69105]

They should have done more of a tribute to Dick Martin at the Emmys last night. The re-enactment was sloppy. They should got more of the original cast to perform.

[OurGangFan]

They just had a few Laugh-In cast members on the Emmy Awards!

[Lehnerd57]

hello we still have freedom of speak what heck u talkin about aardvark...u can say what u want but at the work place is different

[Bladerunner93]

Sure...when do you plan on waking up?

[aardvark1917]

Back when the gov't allowed freedom of speech on TV, this was one hot show.

[Beatles0223]

How true. Isn't is sad that things were more free 40 years ago than they are now?

[AdobeProductions]

Goodnight Dick...forever. :( He was awesome. AND I LOVE GOLDIE HAWN! She is hilarious. "George Jr....I don't get it.."

[JRSL1988]

Did anyone know that Tommy Bond was prop management on this show?

[sschimel]

This was one of the funniest shows ever on TV. And Joanne Worley and Ruth Buzzi cracking each other up are almost as funny as Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.

[madpoetzsociety]

RIP Dick Martin

[swarlock]

God bless Dick Martin.

[IDLERACER]

Where else could the likes of Kirk Douglas, Rod Serling, Sally Field, Peter Lawford and Cher just show up unanounced, and vanish almost as soon as they arrived?

[3coolio]

r I P DICK

[WalterReimer]

"Say goodnight, Dick...."

Have fun at The Party.

[fjohnnson]

Dick Martin, RIP and many thx ..

[yoshourln1]

Martin was a genius. May he find true peace.

[da40flyer]

RIP Dick Martin. Thank you for all the laughter.

[DakotaPuma]

RIP, Dick

[saulpaulus]

Dick always socked it to us...so did the other Dick...but that wasn't funny.

[ruedydude]

RIP Dick Martin, we loved your comedy and you were one of a kind.

[Venus1018]

It is very funny and I can stop laughing. So thank and keep making more video.

[atrybus]

Thanks for putting this on youtube!

[wulfiebear]

What's missing from all of these Laugh-In clips? Miss Judy Carne getting dropped through the trap door. We need more of that!!

[Billiam95]

Yeah, come on! Sock 'em to us (splash)!
