Blooper - Red Skelton: Manure

[Kerridee100]

Absolutely. Freaking. Brilliant. 'nuff said. : P

[brizpeg47]

Red Skelton was surely utterly delightful....

[brizpeg47]

Red Skelton was surely delightful.....

[MrLehnerd]

Red Skelton Top notch comedy at his finest pure laugh a great man Ole the best in act

[barnabas50]

I sure miss Red Skelton.

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

The fact that this crap (certainly no pun intended) was entertaining at the time is so lame that it defies belief.

[kgrueschowjr2010]

that's the poop, the whole poop, and nothing but the poop!

[Deppaddicted]

@AmericanPowerBase I prefer Skelton but hey, Red Green was one funny Canadian. :)

[BuddyNovinski]

I'd love to know what Jack Albertson was thinking at the time.

[MajorBilly]

Mr. Zimmerman, in almost 100 comments and over 200,000 views, I swear to God you are the only one to use the phrase "Good clean fun" in regards to this video.

[MrCAZimmerman]

I still watch Red's movies everytime TCM shows them. My family watched him every week, along with Sid Casear & Milton Berle. Later it was Carol Burnett & Friends. Oh, don't forget Abbott & Costello. I've made tapes of their movies for my 4yr old granddaughter for when she's older, in case, they are not available anymore. Good, clean fun!!! We need more of it!!!!

[JEMCO2008]

Not only does he give good HA HA

[sweetiepillow]

I feel sorry for the little cow, afraid from the surrounding.

[AEMoreira81]

I guess this is what they meant by YouTube poop...HAHAHAHAHA!

[kgrueschowjr2010]

that's the poop, the whole poop, and nothing but the poop!

[AEMoreira81]

That cow dood it - it's getting a whipping!

[patchcords]

Poor cow got stage fright !

[jmckinnon117]

LIVE television

[louswire]

gotta luv the cow's editorial comment,...

[KutWrite]

Maybe this is where they got the term "milking" a joke.

[Mr76Yearsago]

I saw this clip about 20 years ago. I wonder if Skeleton's ad lib ever got him in "hot water" with his sponsor. Pet Milk sponsored the show at that time, and one of their main products was Pet Ritz Pies.

[doggburr]

Classic!

[TheGunslinger5854]

Jack Albert another fine actor and comedian. He too is missed.

[judyrusso]

I've loved Red since I was 5 years old. He will live forever in my heart. He was one of the greats, such a beautiful soul too.

I can look back on these old clips and still laugh. Thanks for posting. And I would agree with blessedkids comments.

[RoyalSweeetness]

Something great about these classic comics that nobody has said yet, they open up so much to you on the screen that you actually feel like you know them. Today's Hollywood, I feel so distant. Miles away from the people. But these people, they seem like ordinary people just making the world laugh. Like every episode you get a little bit of friendship. Or at least it seems this way to me; as cheesey as it sounds or not. Skelton is a classic. He will live on forever in his shows, and in our hearts.

[clemcadiddlehopper10]

I love it !

[XEvolutionist]

Live television. Gotta love it! X

[SIMPFANN]

I know if I were in that situation on live TV I would have no idea what to say. It's a real tribute to Red that he was able to save the moment and make it funny.

[MiltonJenkins]

@SIMPFANN Look at Red carefully-you can tell he had a line all ready, but even better, he knew to wait for the right moment to say it. It's still funny every time and always will be.

[hallj100]

Look on the bright side ... it could have been bullshit.

[dannyd1572]

Nice recovery at :46. I love Red. I was to young to remember him on tv, but have a full dvd collection. Anytime I'm feeling down, I can always pop in one and within the first few minutes I'm smiling again....

[aerogelz]

time

[lizzie55love]

his remidned me of the great good old days . i love love love love love love - red skelton

[JEMCO2008]

43 sec. He gives milk

[wmbrown6]

Notice as Red was about to utter this ad-lib (mentioning one of his sponsor's products in the process), an RCA TK-11 camera is shown at frame right.

[90camryV6]

I loved watching Red Skelton and Benny Hill; I wish they still made comedy's like that anymore, now it's like you don't need to be funny to do comedy. "It's sad really" :(

[ladynfsoffice]

They just DON'T make TV like they used to..only the great comics of old could take an unexpected 'movement' and turn it into a classic!! LOVED Red Skelton and all the characters he portrayed-there will never be another one!

[mccoobs]

@ladynfsoffice today they just yell "cut!" and make it perfect... live TV ruled! oh for the days of my grandparents - when people were neighbours, neighbours were friends, and friends were... well, Friends!

When you saw someone's fence was down, you stopped and fixed it. When their porch door was open, you closed it... and when you had a little xtra... you shared it - you didn't charge for it. sigh...

[ahalley20]

@ladynfsoffice  I too will miss Red Skelton. It was the comedians of his day that made watching tv worthy. Today they think they HAVE to curse just to get the laughs for shock value. My opinion, its all unnecessary. Amen!

[twgrimes]

@ahalley20 Amen to that! And some comedians of today would be funny without the bad language!

[blessedkids]

Red Skelton is the epitome of comedy!! Good, clean, funny!!! There will never be another like him...He was teh best....I remember him from days as a little girl...couldn't wait to see his show....God Bless Red's family and his memory!!! THis is comedy and how it should be...Alas, it will neve be again, sad to say...Todays comics have NOTHING on this man!!! Nothing!!! Thanks for sharing that video....

[TooleMan87]

Ah, the days of live TV! ;-)

Isn't that Eleanor the Cow from Green Acres? I think she was "the go-to cow" in Hollywood. Need a cow? Call Eleanor.

[PatientlySheWaits]

LMAO!!! Red Skelton was absolutely adorable! That cow was pretty cute ,too..

[RedSkelton4u]

What a great job the cow did ad-libbing so Red could do the same!

[pspfreak1000]

my great great ansestor at his funniest! hahahhahahah! (seriusly he is my great grandfathers cosin or somthing)

[superkryp13]

one of the Greatest

[bowslap]

Pride of Vincennes, Indiana....true entertainment!

[midnighthawk28]

I love how good he is at covering up mistakes. Good ad-libing Red!

[jlroesener]

Gotta love this guy, thats all there is to it! lol

[RedSkelton4u]

These were the good old days. I do my best to keep his memory alive by performing 4 nights a week 9pm at the Royal Resort Hotel 99 Convention Center Drive in Las Vegas.

I would like to invite everyone to check out the ONLY show in Las Vegas with a Red Skelton impersonator.

Its the best show you never heard of!

I wish you continued success in all you do.

Goodnight now and may God bless.

Brian Hoffman~Red Skelton Impersonator.

[aluluei]

Red Skelton is like - the silliest T.V. stars EVER!

[RedSkelton4u]

ME too!

[RedSkelton4u]

That is very quick humor.

Live ad-libs by the great are the best.

[grabit1]

But I don't. About what I've read of your comments. And I have a sense of humor beyond compare. But it has its limitations. Known as graciousness and common sense.

And simple respect and humility.

Words beyond your limited lexicon, I suppose.

And by the way, I'm not knocking Chaplin. I remember the night he came back to Hollywood in 1971.

But you obviously don't. Because you weren't there. And if you were, then prove it.

[mfhoxie]

Did you even read anything I said?

[rdadal]

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

[mfhoxie]

How could I possibly do that with you just saying that I'm wrong? I would say Dangerfield or Seinfeld or Will Farrell or Ellen or many other sketch actors from SNL or MadTV but you'll tell me Charlie Chaplin waddling around with a cane making ironic mistakes is so much more amusing.

[mfhoxie]

Why would you flip out like that? I know, because you have no valid points. The Model T was a legendary car and should be remembered, but it doesn't mean it's a good car anymore. I respect pioneers, but there replaced by more talented people who have learned from those who came before them.

[pspfreak1000]

red skelton is one of my distant relitives

[mfhoxie]

Old comedy is always boring.

[Fuckgothsemoswiggers]

Apparently you've never seen the Marx Brothers or Charlie Chaplin.

[mfhoxie]

I have seen both and they're not funny either. They may have been durring their time, but now with what's out there, it's just completely irrelevant.

[clareity]

Never thought he was funny. Still don't. Can't stand the sight of the guy. Humor is such a personal thing. This guy so lacks subtlety. Benny-type wry and dry is surely my preference.

[pjezierski]

Did you all know that in 'real life'; Red had always made the BEST of a bad situation. There is a story behind that statement I had heard on 'Paul Harvy's Rest of the Story' about Red. Very touching Too.

[emmtampa]

I would honestly say that Jack Albertson is more well known for this than Chico and The Man.

[catholicpriest1]

Cool to see the CBS camera come into the picture.

[JTPolo101]

I loved this man so much. He could do a skit that had you rolling on the floor. then another that brought a tear to you eye. A sweet man and a comic genius.

" Guzzlers Gin" one of the best skits in the world *LOL*

[elmagnifico9]

We all miss Red and all of his characters!

[alwayssme]

man ilove seeing these, thanx for posting, red was the best

[laughtergoodmedicine]

Greatness. Thanks, lots of fun.

[MrUnidyne]

It is incredible how Red manages to keep things rolling even as a cow is "redecorating" stage on live network television.

[SuicidalAngel08]

I was adopted and just found out a few weeks ago who my birth family is. And I'm like 5th cousins with Red how cool is that?

[143AC]

Bossie! Please don't S-! on This show you're

messing up the stage and you're embaressing

"Mr.Kiddlehopper" and"Mr.Throckmorton".

[turtlesrockinc]

Red Skelton is my great uncle! I didnt know him but my grandparent did! My last name is Skelton too so yeah. I am pretty funny my self so mabey i get it from him!

[GUALLACOL]

You should be proud. He never told off colored jokes. I've enjoyed him very much until he passed away in 1997. Very, very funny man. God bless him!!

[tommy2toonz]

the funniest comedian ever ...at times he would loose over 1o-20 pounds during his live shows...I LOVE YOU RED....TOMMY2TOONZ

[FashonbugWA]

I remeber the shows he had. My grandparents didn't have a television at their home and Grandpa was a preacher. They came over about every Tuesday night to get a gallon of milk from us and, ahem, it seemed to be during Red Skelton time. lol. They always laughed, too.

[marlist1]

Red Skelton made me laugh as a kid! I think his expressions did it. True talent, great timing, ad-lib (so funny-not done today), real down to earth person. Amazing what kids can detect. Something real.

[ddaawnn55]

gone are the days when we had true stars that behaved like proper ladies and gents,mind you,even some of the stars from the past were not nice, many stars of todays are foul mouthed,antisocial,did you hear of nasty charlie sheen telling his exwife that he hoped she die of cancer,nasty man

[Steacy783]

Geez,,,Now that is Country!!!

[etrax2000]

GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM KILLED ME

[rhenkel1]

We have some terrific comedians today, but the humor of Red Skelton will be funny forever - timely humor for all time

[1HillbillyGirl]

My favorite comedian. I remember this show, too! Not one celebrity today can compare to Skelton's pure talent or ability to get a laugh without being vulgar.

Met him several times and he was always delightful, funny, kind and a gentleman.

Hmm, yet another way today's 'celebrities' fall short of being true 'stars.'

[DataLinkLayer2]

I'm glad I'm old enough to remember shows like that as a kid. I miss them.

[sweetgrannie]

Me too. I got to meet him at our state fair many years ago. A real sweet guy. Comedians nowadays wouldn't do anything that they think looks stupid. He would do anything for a laugh

[JustLeiLani]

You two sure are lucky! I'd love and give anything to have been around for all this... I prefer this whole time sooooo much over anything today.

[jhaley12]

oh how I miss these days, such a simple and wonderful time to be alive.

[fredthejunkman]

I whole-heartedly agree, Reg. He was very funny and didn't have to use vulgar language to be funny!

[proverbs1722]

live tv the best.

[waghag1945]

there will never again be anyone like Red Skelton..I watched his show as a kid and still laugh at him now that I'm a "senior citizen"..Thanks so much for the wonderful memories

[fredaMye]

She's such a pretty Jersey cow. And so well behaved - she's obviously a pet. Cows live 5-10 years so she's been dead for many years. It's interesting how small she is - today Jerseys are much larger due to good food and breeding. We have some that are over 5.5 feet at the shoulder. A farmer from Ohio.

[mudge741]

Don't forget the growth hormones and steroids!

[louswire]

...get it out of your system... ROFLMAO!

Every Tuesday night, I'd watch The Red Skelton Show... and usually the rest of the family would be in the room, well before the end of the show.

True family oriented comedy.

[gibblerfan83]

LOL "You stop ad-libbing."

[soulierinvestments]

Who today among modern comics is as smart and as funny and as fast to ad lib in an embarrassing situation as was Red Skelton? Of course, so little live television exists anymore that the modern comics have to ad lib. "Get it out of your system." Thanx for posting a classic moment from a great comic.

[MPur1021240]

oops, wrong post

[MPur1021240]

I worked at a Wendy's Hamburgers my senior year in high school and he came threw our store. I got his autograph in 1985, Sad to say it dissappered when my Mom and Dad moved to a new home. What a nice man and he was tickled that some one young as me new who he was. He hit it right on the head with this one. Be careful of the Michael Newdow's of this country or we will lose our way.

[Mr76Yearsago]

@MPur1021240 One of my best friend's worked part time in high school in a Western-wear Store in Texas, and Red Skelton came in the store one day and purchased about $150 in merchandise. He did a comical routine with the boots he bought and shook hands with all the employees. That man was one of the most honesly human performers that ever lived.

[santasxgirlfriend]

lol-really

[143AC]

My God!

That is not a nice cow..she a dirty

bad cow! Now there's a reason for Mr.Skelton to

really break up!

[tallman2055]

Red Skelton is by far the greatest comedian ever. Red has such a gift for comedy that no one(i think) can top him. Good Night & May GOD bless.
