All in the Family "Jefferson , Archie, and Santa"

[ArticulatingMadnessY]

Where's the REAL Mr. Jefferson???

[cha5]

@ArticulatingMadnessY You mean Sherman Hemsley aka George Jefferson? this guy is supposed to be George Jefferson's brother Henry Jefferson.

[melk1971]

I'v'e heard of chocolate bunnys not chocolate santas.

[jethrodassam]

@melk1971 Jungle bunny, jungle santa.

[chodeshadar18]

"Ya look more like a rabbi" One of the most memorable likes of the show.

[surfer53]

It's like George Carlin said. There's no point in being proud of something that was an accident of birth. Happy is fine. Be happy with who you are. Pride goeth before a fall. It's all this pride stuff in genetic accidents that perpetuates all this prejudice. The last thing you need is to reinforce stereotypes and rile up people who are already prejudiced. I'm not proud to be straight. It's just how it is. It makes no difference to me one way or the other, so I just go with it.

[maxcardun]

Hey wait a minute is that the same george jefferson from "The Jeffersons" ?

[Srd1126]

@maxcardun That isn't George, it is Henry, George's brother. Sherman Hemsley was doing other acting during AITF but Lear wanted him so much he wrote Henry in to sort of "hold his place" as the older black male nemises for Archie. They must have had the idea that "The Jeffersons" would spin off from day 1.

[iamsukafree]

facts,white men molest they daughters & sons & white people have sex with they family members,b4 slavery,white people came from caves,blacks came from royalty,blacks invented math,the wheel & created the first college way b4 slavery,its so many hidden facts about whites & blacks,do your research & u a see why whites hated blacks & why blacks was & will always be a better race then whites.just research it all

[Srd1126]

@iamsukafree If all of this is true, why has Africa been so backward for 500+ years? BTW: your grammar is terrible, you must be ueducated as no eduated person could make write something that looks so bad if they were told to do so.

[iamsukafree]

facts is,its more white people on welfare then blacks.white people have the worst lookin skin,yall pink,pale,turn red when u mad,have pink dicks with green veins that show through your skin..it look like yall have a disease.ewww.it sucks 2 be white.yall have straight dog hair.i could go on 4 days.black skin is the best skin,we look the best.

[diamondgma1]

this is really pathetic, the racism in this country is still as powerful as ever... i live in the south and find so much of it here on BOTH sides. The blacks breed hate and the whites don't let it rest either....god will take care of it all someday!!!

[logik316]

@diamondgma1

You're right about the south. All that crazy stuff about white, black, and god, needs to go.

[waveali]

Jesus Christ! Why does every tool have to start a racial argument on every flipping clip. Just enjoy a great and wonderful show.

[shawnpatterson58]

@waveali I agree...thank you. You seem to be the type of person who apparently does not have a list of issues going on so much so that you have to carry it into a comment page on yt.

[WiseGuy5674]

@Chitowncantstop ..question....Why do black women want to be white?...Show me a black girl (who isn't from Africa) that sports a 'fro.....I can't think of one.

[iamsukafree]

@WiseGuy5674 if u wonna see black women that dont wonna be white.just look at black muslim women.its millions of real blaxk women there that no whats up .tell me what white person that dont wonna be dark,yall risk getting skin cancer just 2 be darker.oh & lets not talk about how mostly all the white women is in love with black men

[WiseGuy5674]

@iamsukafree ..yeah, do me a favor and get back to me when you learn how to spell and for a sentence. ok Buckwheat?

[mrmoheato]

WHY CANT IT BE JUST A GOOD SHOW ABOUT STEREO TYPES, IM MIXED WHITE AND BLACK AND BOTH WHITE AND BLACK SIDES OF THE FAMILY LOVE ME.... IT CONFUSES ME WHEN HUMAN BEINGS ARGUE OVER COLOR,,,, MAY GOD FORGIVE US

[commonsenseforUSA]

@Chitowncantstop,

Never said anything about naming them. Waste of time and life. I said I'd SHOW you them. No crack dealers in my neighborhood. They'd probably be shot. You're not a rapper, and I'm not a crack user. We don't know everything about each other, and at least I won't pretend to. In fact, the only reason I started this conversation is because your extremely caustic, militant attitude hit a sore spot I've been trying to heal for months. Every time, somebody just can't keep it civil.

[commonsenseforUSA]

@Chitowncantstop,

No. Just amused. And very glad I'm not a woman, or a wigger child that wants to either sleep with abusive, poor-ass wanksters or emulate a completely self-pitying and entitled bunch of deadbeats. Show me one black company executive, politician, or investor and I'll show you a thousand crack dealers and shitty music makers that treat women like sacks of meat.

[iamsukafree]

@commonsenseforUSA lol.did u no that trailer park trash white people live worst then the black people in the so called ghetto.Its just as many successfull blacks as white & we wasnt giveing a fair shot, but we still got 2 the top.whites have shitty rock & roll music that is so devil demonic.black make the best music.black is the best thats why all white women want a black men.& all white men want a black women,but no real black women will date a white men.real black women as in black muslim

[commonsenseforUSA]

@iamsukafree,

Reading that was painful. Take an English class, or five. And, everything you said is true... in your wildest dreams.

[iamsukafree]

@commonsenseforUSA lol.take up a english class 4 what?so i could become the so called proffesional intellectual black guy that white people approve of.no i a pass on that,i rather talk & type ebonics.u feel becuz i dont talk how a white person teach people 2 talk its not right,i think talking the way white people teach u 2 talk is the wrong way 2 talk.u say its spelled you,i say its spelled u,u say it spelled because,i say it spelled becuz.& what i said is a fact,

[commonsenseforUSA]

@iamsukafree,

I respect your decision to talk how you want. Its a free country, after all. Good luck with it all.

[tagdam1]

@iamsukafree please correct your grammar - the 'professional' way

[commonsenseforUSA]

@Chitowncantstop,

And people like you are the reason we never should have freed the slaves. You people are of less use to the world now than you were back in the 1800's. That make you feel bad?

[sonninnlaw1]

because of stupid ass comments like " we started the whole damn country" and for the record you DID NOT START THE WHOLE COUNTRY.... THE NATIVE AMERICANS DID.......ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!! YOU STOLE EVERY THING!!!!!!!!!

[Marckymarc71]

It's too bad that Henry wasn't featured on THE JEFFERSONS along with George. The two of them (Hemsley and Stewart, both VERY talented comedic actors) would have played brilliantly off one another and the rest of the cast. Opportunity lost.

[rhanks32]

I like when archie says "who are you

[marshallsimon]

At 0:05 The Door Bell sounds like a Telephone. Hello Hello. Hello. Who Called?

[Himithor]

As child growing up in the 70's I never knew that Sherman Hemsley wasn't the original George Jefferson. Wow!!!!!

[Valkonnen]

@Himithor Helmsley was the original George....That guy is supposed to be his brother.

[WJJ1968]

@Himithor - This is Henry Jefferson filling in till Sherman Hemsley could finish his Broadway commitment and assume the George role.

[pjmack79]

who is this imposter mr jefferson, lol?

[bigbrownlatino]

Man, whatever happened to Lionel after the show ended?

[IwontConform]

Only the young folks born after the show was cancelled spend so much time using it as a means to vent about race.The rest of us who were actually alive when the show was being produced can appreciate its brilliance,its authenticity,and even its heart.

[faketohma]

@IwontConform i wasnt alive when the show first ran...and I liked it...*raises an eyebrow* i used to watch this on nick at nite and tv land,

[98bigbutt]

It's like Santa Claus went to Jamaica.

[NiggazWithXboxez]

Yo I be black and dis shit be racist yo

[BoogieWithStew]

@NiggazWithXboxez Any chance of writing that in English? Interesting screen name...

[Steven197981]

Edith: Come in!

Archie: Hold it. Hold it. There's more of them here.

lol

I like how Archie refers to the Jeffersons as 'them'. You got to love Archie!

[jimboclinton]

Bigots come in all colors.

[Wuptdo206]

Those were the days of classic television. This show was very cutting edge in it's day.

[justusleejolliffe]

@Wuptdo206! Hell yeah it was but funny as hell too! Archie did have a heart though! Great show!

[TheSouthernCadillac]

archie bunker is so cool jeffersons and meat head suck we need more people like archie nowadays

[quincee33]

Jefferson is awesome too.

[maulhoik]

Don't you realize Norman Lear was FUCKING with yahoos such as yourself?

[whydid666]

right from the start of Jefferson and Archie staring at each other i was like, "oh hell i got to see how this will play out."

[garylobo3]

What makes Jefferson's Santa costume so funny is the black beard, right?

[rockingdude89]

that tree looks like an albino shit stain

[imaStonesGirl]

Thank ZeppelinBoy2000 for the post real funny stuff btw ledzeppelin rocks

[teehonky]

if a Black man comes down your chimney on christmas eve--he is Not coming to give you gifts..hes coming to steal your TV, refrigerator,microwave, and anything else that can fit on his SLEIGH

[HF2112]

i love you both....sweet archie and wife

[BeantownJim]

The best episode ever of this show Was when Archie was trapped in the cellar with a taperecorder and a bottle of whiskey And meets up with a Black jesus hahaha i fell off the chair and cried laughing!

[garylobo3]

Yes, but Archie was quite drunk, and thought he was meeting God. When he said, "Alright Right, This is It!"...then looked up to see "God", the look on his face was...priceless. Then when the laughter died down (after 2 minutes), he said something even funnier. He said, "Geez, the Jeffersons was right."

[newguy33X]

His facial expressions were always classic.

[fertiredoflove]

Does anybody here remember that episode when a Archie's cousin visited the family and died... So they had to pay the funerals... and Archie hate his cousin, becouse, when younger, he usually sit in my face... hilarius like the santa appeance..

[usinoz]

Ho ho ho.......ha ha ha ha aha

[funkmike]

Archie's a right jolly old elf.

[tohotxox]

the jeffersons were a black version of all in the family. i enjoyed that as well! white guy here lol. but it was considered and still is considered exceptable today. why is it ok publicly exceptable to be black and proud and ppl like myself(white) are considered wrong when we show our pride? after all we started the whole damn country?

[ddsmellz]

I like your comment, but in regard to the last sentence. you should look to a more positive state of mind.The right people spoke up, too late for some.i'm of cherokee descent, it took a while for me to get over stuff.. i guess we were the genocide you spoke of? But on a lighter note this show was a take on all those old thinkers and they slayed it..And Edith was really the voice of reason..im stating the obvious now. Awesome show

[VivaLaTrumpet]

I can't be positive about the killing of innocent people, and slavery. But even so, I don't think this nation would be if it never happened. I'm just not proud of how this nation was started.

[jsmaye]

Contradictory what? 'Contradictory' is an adjective, not a noun.

[whydid666]

Sadly though all the guys the represent "white pride" are very likely not the best shaven head representatives we could have, kinda thoroughly fucked it for the rest of us.

[casiswedish]

@tohotxox because you being proud makes does not amount to blacks being proud despite years and years of continous discrimination and suffering. black was not something to be proud. white was always something to be proud o. being proud of your heritage is ok but not proud to be white and advantaged

[rezmoneynwkubs]

@casiswedish hey asshole, nobody who was a slave is alive. get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. im sick of it. theres a fucking black guy in the white house. what fucking more do you want? you get the same jobs, same pay, even more pay with welfare and social security. they could give black people the whole world and they will still bitch. god damn it.

[casiswedish]

@rezmoneynwkubs why are you so angry? ha. youtube is not the place to vent on your racial thoughts

[rezmoneynwkubs]

@casiswedish im just sick of black people bringing race into EVERYTHING. they can spew whatever racial bullshit they want and its cool, but when i do it. its racist? lol. ill die before i ever cave into any of these savages. : )

[TheWhoLive73]

@rezmoneynwkubs I agree.Good Post.

[KISSFAN4EVER6]

@tohotxox Actually the country was literally built by blacks, right?

[Dreamcatcherwrites]

@tohotxox  I hear you. ANd I think racism is a disease common to ALL men, unfortunately, some can't see that.

[IwontConform]

@Dreamcatcherwrites liberal intolerance and hypocrisy is the real disease

[jerico641]

@IwontConform

Liberal intolerance?  Intolerance of who or of what may I ask?

[jerico641]

@tohotxox

Sorry to jump in here so late, but I'm curious: how do you show your pride in your race?

[allianceFiLifeDotCom]

@tohotxox you started the whole damn country on the idea of white supremacy genocide against natives and africans. that is why you have a hard time today and blacks say they are proud because you have taught them not to be(since you want to represent whiteness)...what is difficult to understand in that? this show was not made to promote archie bunkers ideology or white pride, archie was the butt of the joke and from his bigotry lessons were taught. 

[ORACLE063]

@allianceFiLifeDotCom and black pharoahs thought they were gods and covered everything they had in bling and worked off the backs of their own people and slaves. Face it buddy HUMANS are EGO-CENTERED

[17DEMONHUNTER]

@allianceFiLifeDotCom

no, the people who came here started the whole damn country based on political and religious freedom, yes THEY did those things, but remember this, if they didnt, then you would not have this great nation today, England would probably have never changed because no one that ever stood up to them beat them because the only thing that could beat england were its people, and we did....twice, and england was worse than we ever were

[allianceFiLifeDotCom]

@17DEMONHUNTER You have got to be joking with this comment. You definitely have swallowed the pill.

[17DEMONHUNTER]

@allianceFiLifeDotCom

im not joking jackass, england conqured other places and forced them to live they way they lived, forced them to be christians, not only did my ancestors let the native americans keep some of their land (they were kickin their ass so they didnt have to do that) they let them keep their culture, yes they taught them english because some day they might try life outside of the reservation

whats your excuse for being so racist against whites?

[allianceFiLifeDotCom]

@17DEMONHUNTER Listen to this English bitch say my ancestors let the natives keep some of their land, you little dunce asshole. You ancestors stole the natives land and committed genocide against them you are no better than the "English" they abolished slavery 1833 you English americans abolished in in more than 3 decades later and the worst of you had to be murdered in a civil war before in could be abolished . Truth is not racism you retard. Racism is you thinking you are superior to others.

[17DEMONHUNTER]

@allianceFiLifeDotCom

how dare you say that they commited genocide, HITLER was in the process of commiting genocide, he captured and KILLED MILLIONS OF DEFENSELESS PEOPLE, we killed them so they wouldnt kill us, we forced them to reservations and left them alone, that is not genocide, if we wanted to commit genocide, there wouldnt be any indians left

as for slavery, there wouldnt have been any if the africans hadnt betryed eachother and sold eachother into slavery to the white man

[allianceFiLifeDotCom]

@17DEMONHUNTER again your racism shines bright. when the slaughtering involves whites it is genocide but when it involves white slaughtering non-whites it is then defense. Hitler committed genocide just as your white for parents did.

as for slavery. rich african leaders captured and sold africans to whites this does not excuse slavery this just indites these wealthy africans and shows your racist line on thinking as if existence of African wrong excuses European wrong. I hope you are joking

[untidall]

@17DEMONHUNTER so europeans did not capture any slaves nor did the arabs. what the hell are you talking about you must be from america.

[untidall]

@17DEMONHUNTER there was only a few afrian tribes that sold slaves the majority of slaves were captured by arabs, the rest by europeans

[Vovk3]

@allianceFiLifeDotCom

Really? It only encouraged me to solidify my pride. I hate people who try to condemn my ways, yet they can't even justify their own in the end. Liberals are always the stupid ones in the end.

[Jamaari20]

@tohotxox You are wrong on so many levels.

[JohnBrody23]

@tohotxox I love how every white person claims to have started the country, considering it was mostly English and Scots-Irish men who were the founding fathers. Tell me if there's a German, Swedish, Dutch, French or Russian name on the Declaration of Independence, or the constitution. Lol I just find it funny that all these other groups, go around saying, our Founding fathers and they're from Poland. Jeffersons slave descendants have a higher stake in this nation than those people do.

[Dominator350]

@tohotxox What the hell are you talking about? Your country was built by slaves, show a little humility in the face of history, it can never hurt.

[BMayhew60]

@tohotxox Well, we didn't start it, but the people who did stole it from the Native Americans and then imported slaves from Africa to help make it work. I'm not trying to make a political statement here, because Archie and Jefferson were great characters, and I have no problem with ethnic pride of any sort. Still your statement is less than PC. Cheers...

[iamsukafree]

@tohotxox dont forget that before it was any black slaves.all the slaves was white.yall white people was brought over here as slaves.matter of fact white slavery lasted longer then black slavery,research that.the africa slaves came & 2 stop the black & white slaves from getting together they seperated them.do your research.if u dont come from a wealthy family like bush or some billionair family then your ancesters was slaves 2 rather if u was white or black.whites was the first slaves

[mrwoodsuploader]

@tohotxox LOL You stole it from the Native Americans.

[SUPPORTGOODMUSIC1003]

@tohotxox haha because whenever white people talk about pride it becomes a supremacy thing, and why do whites need a pick me up? YOU"RE WHITE isn't that awesome enough?

[cryjesuscry]

@tohotxox the jeffersons was not the black version of archie bunker, even Norman Lear says that is absolutely not true

and it doesn't take long before some bigotted idiot like you tries to equate white suffering with black and truley show your ignorance

[slthomp2]

@tohotxox Rich whites with plantation slaves mobilizing poor whites to fight so that they could avoid the taxes that payed for the F&I war for American benefit/defense (not to mention the wealth we harvested from slave-picked commodities, esp. by the 19th cent.)? The Bourgeoisie started this country, but built it on the backs of the manipulated poor, black and white alike.

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

@slthomp2 Correct. These were the same people that believed only their "class" should have a right to vote.

[FootSomeGuy]

Lol some those racists here on youtube remind me of Archie.

[mkl62]

The Santa was George Jefferson's brother, Henry. Even though he made several appearances on All in the Family, he never appeared on The Jeffersons and was only referred to one time. That episode was the debut of Gary Coleman, who was playing Henry's son.

[Yobachi2007]

Yeah, Sherman Hemsley didn't appear on the show for the first two years (he was just refered to, or spoken to on the phone)because Norman Lear was holding the spot open for him; waiting for Hemsley fo finish a run he was doing on broadway.

Yep, George Jefferson was actually a broadway actor, who'd a thunk it.

[oneeyedgeek]

hmmm I didn't know that. I don't really remember the first 1/2 of the series...course the first season started about 6 months before I was born :)

[Yobachi2007]

It started about 6 years before I was born.

[BLACKEAGLEPREDATOR]

hilarious but who the hell is the guy playing george jefferson? never seen him.

[vbcray]

Santa is George's brother Henry.

[FootSomeGuy]

Lol too bad I never saw this episode.

[HeyUGoFuckYourself]

neither did I...lol

[goblinphilly]

hehehehehehehe hehehehehe lololololol lmao.

[SaintIzzle]

slayerfanstorm...St. Nicholas of Myrna is the inspiration for the Christian idea of Santa Claus. He was from Turkey...not Germany.

Read a book and stop worrying about skin color.

[SeaSerpent50]

Actually St Nicholas was an English saint, he was the counterpart of Santa Claus.

[SeaSerpent50]

Actually now I don't think St Nicholas was an English saint, I don't know where he came from.

[Iustitiaromana]

It's a mix of a nothern mythology death god and Saint Nicholas (born in Turkey)from Bari, in Italy, who used to bring gifts. Nothing to do with England.

[mrbrandon71]

You people are fools. Appreciate the art of great comedy for the sake of art. Who cares about "Santa?" Dummies.

[torkerbmx]

funny shitt man

[TheJazzyMan1988]

rabbis are badass, they all got those suits...but they NEVER wear a tie...and those beards

[slayerfanstorm]

Even if i wasn't racist that negro santa is bullshit. santa is a German culturething! So, it's bs!

[BCraingirl]

If Santa WAS German, there happen to be black people who live in that country also, right? One of the guys from Milli Vanilli was German AND black too!

[SIMLARRY1]

First of all you dum ass santa is a made up story you talk like you belive he exisist

[Bashallequally]

Hes based off a Christian saint smart one...

[MISSYOUMOSSIE]

jefferson knows abou ho ho  ho's

[treasuretrovecove59]

you look like a rabbi to me

[devinci2009]

santa GOT a tan lol

[MANSHOTS]

he has the santa clause girth, but not the beard

[rwk000x]

That's the greatist christmas tree ever.

[mkmusic06]

HA HA HA!

[boomac62]

I liked old henry jefferson...

[Barison]

Archie: So you're supposed to be Santy Clause, aren't you?

Jefferson: Ho, ho, ho.

Archie: You look more like a rabbi to me...

Hahahaha- Thanks!
