Gong Show 1977, what the...

[xoSweetlilopopxo]

stupid!!!!!!

[TomasTigre]

I was sick in 10th grade and couldn't go to school for 2 weeks, I watched Gong Show every day, I remember seeing this and literally nearly dying from laughing, I couldn't catch my breath from laughing so much, it was just so stupid.

[pbzag6]

23 people don't know how to get the box off their heads.

[BronxNYE206St]

One of the greatest shows of all time

[mjg032]

Oh man, did they do the drugs back in the 70s or what?!

[cannonball251]

She should have left the BOX on her head and fell down a flight of stairs.

[AngelaCarton]

The Gong Show. Even Jesus watched it.

[SoloHero]

Welp... at least she has her looks....

[fenris91]

[Mannchild11]

She can't get the brains back in her head?

[Ishcoa]

Ugh, this is such a gong show.

[arkady714]

She's an absolute doll...but wtf! Btw, the look on Zsa Zsa's face told it all. LOL!

[bluebear1985]

@arkady714 What about the way Arte tried to get the box off? When he tried to do that for this, uh, act, I had a feeling he was going to gong her.

[VisionofOrion]

I thought this was hilarious when I saw it on TV of course I was about six then. 

[angels77100]

@VisionofOrion Six? Huh? Are you seriously trying to tell us you were six? I remember that time. And you were well into your 30's when you saw that.

[spitoncat]

Who was the lady on the panel in the center seat?

[snowden67]

@spitoncat The lady in the middle was Eva Gabor, from Green Acres. Eva did several weeks of The Gong Show, as well as The Hollywood Squares and Gene Rayburn's version of Match Game.

[Ataru320]

Well at least Artie Johnson did the appropriate thing before gonging her: make sure the box prevented her from hearing it.

[orchidtender]

I can't wash this blood off my hands,

I can't get this scum outta my soul,

I can't scape this stain off my brain.

And I can't get this box off my head. 

[AsianMen4Me]

I loved the Gong Show. One of the best. This poor woman was more beautiful than funny. I wonder what she went on to do.

[MacoutesGabber]

@AsianMen4Me She did other stuff, I just can't remember where (I wonder why).

[trinketbox1]

Michelle Obama - the early years.

[ptschafer]

@trinketbox1 Ssshhhhh! You don't want her kids to read this and make her explain to them what "acid flashbacks" are!!!

[trinketbox1]

Wow - runners up got E-Z Kart Latex Flat Enamel paint! I'd embarass myself in front of millions for that!!!

[eaglewheels1995]

They need to bring this show back!

[rabidgoldfish65]

I wanted her box on my head... wha?

[swarlock]

Anyone have the one with the guy who were a Viking helmet and sang Opera at half speed?

[msymonds12]

chuck's got jungle fever

[dggd]

LOL!! Lord have mercy!!!

[tiiaxxx]

A woman getting trapped in as box beat my mother and her 4 friends on this show.... Wow. I don't know which is worse my mother, or the box act...

[HHSGDFootballJPD]

Come on. At least wait until the "gig" was up before you hit the gong.

Also expecting her to trip on her dress when the box was on her head, causing a real destroy the video moment.

[Chuckernut5]

she's hot

[VIEWTUBE00000]

The trip she had was totally fake and was only a set up for what was to come. Honey, I'd keep that box on my head if I were you cuz that was even too stupid for the Gong Show.

[VisionofOrion]

and btw LOL at 0:36 when she tripped over her dress

[VisionofOrion]

I think the look at 1:06 says it all....gotta admit thought this was hilarious when I was 5

[VTMCompany]

this one really gets better with repeated viewings.

[tsartodd]

this is like something offa "tim & eric awesome show"

[Manusturbo]

it's greater than tim and eric.

[beaarthursjohnson]

I thought this was lost forever.Have not seen this since 1977 on a hot summer afternoon on KABC Tv Ch7 after school.Ahh what memories!

[waitEveryday]

I simply loved Chuck...he WAS the gong show.

[mmbmrock]

I'd do her.

[blueeyesjames]

OMG my sister's gonna flip when I show her this! As kids we thought it was the funniest/stupidest thing ever! It was one of those things where no matter how bad a mood you were in, all someone had to do was to wail, "I can't get this box of my head!!" and we'd burst into laughter!

[Honeh]

WOW, that's something right out of the minds of my sister and I, if I've ever heard anything closer

[VTMCompany]

maybe she needed to think OUTSIDE the box!

[jojolovejoy]

im sure she thought her act was funny when she was free-basing in her apt. in Watts

unfortunately drugs and a crockpot box didnt translate well for television

its the gong show, not the bong show

[tbo452]

You will meet lots of gals like her at Anime Expo 2009.

Seriously.

[Rottenriguez]

NO shit!!! Cosplay was full of these chicks!

[BCoriginal1]

Were the easy to get into bed? (drum rimshot)

[Calliber50]

Trick in a box! I get it!

[BeantownJim]

good dope back then lol

[tapeduk]

I thought this was funny when I was 14-1977

[FunWithStuttering]

HA!

[lemontarsier]

This is the only "act" I remember from when The Gong Show was originally broadcast.  I guess that says something about its Dadaist sensibility-- or maybe just its utter stupidity.

[TopCat0601]

Wow. that was a really unique talent.

[MrMatteNWk]

Would've been better if the boom mic came down and hit her in the box.

[NETWORK23STUDIOS]

which 'box' ?

[lilduffo]

The Gong Show: The '70's version of YouTube show offs! Love it! Chuck is a cool cat.

[gittahfiend]

gonged,and rightly so!

[TBomb068]

What The ... is RIGHT!!!! LMAO!

[shortyblackwell]

I remember watching this during the summer of '86. My neice and nephew were with me. I was 16, they were 8 and 7. we fell in love with this. Well, we were kids, what can I say?

[mr10tomidnight]

This act is so stupid.I love Artie Johnson's explaination "that's the only way I'd get the box off her head"

[GuitarMcLicks]

Oh wow...

[TracyInsomiac]

she knew exactly what she was doing....awesome

[NETWORK23STUDIOS]

OMG I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS EPISODE

[punkrockefeller]

does chuck get sum "more stuff" after the show?

[lino222222]

A mulher quis cantar com a caixa de papelão na cabeça!!!

[rcktmanil]

OK... I just watched this.. and didn't laugh. But then after a few minutes I thought about it again, and bust out laughing so hard I could see stars. It's HYSTERICAL.

[CiaoCucin]

agreed

[salmonico]

I think its actually a happening...a very fucked up one. Cheers!

[SuperGamer7]

*shakes head*, then laughs!

[YourFaceFacely]

What the hell?

[ProjectInformer]

Lets throw out American Idol and bring the Gong show back

[JSB1983]

poof - it's coming like a hurricane

Check comedy central at the end of july - Dave Attell will be hosting it!

[gaZeeee]

The Gong Show is on Comedy Central already.. Not the end of July.

[sphinxrising58]

The New Gong Show blows compared to the orginal one.

[CaptDouchebag]

Too late.

[sscarzz]

it is back, and it suxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

[dggd]

@ProjectInformer YESSS!!!

[oldpreach]

@ProjectInformer Thank you.

[briteness]

I would like to have seen how long she would have stayed up there trying to get the box off her head if she had not been gonged. I would have watched for five minutes or more. Very funny.

[humanvise]

this was a new art form it was not intended to be understood by simpletons like us

[donprsct]

I can't get this box off my head

[BeantownJim]

now thats what i call talent

[FetidToecheese]

Who cares, she's gorgeous!

[primitivelink]

Ha ha ha ha ha! :D

Saturday night, watching TV!...here.

Thanks for posting, wow, how long did she spend on that? cracks me up.

[StarshipTrooper32]

This show is BETTER than American Idol!

[coolwafferman]

There are a lot of shows better then American Idol!

[LeanaJo76]

Yeah, but this was like American Idol on crack! Hahaha!! Hilarious...It was better...

[coolwafferman]

"American Idol" will never EVER be on the same level as "The Gong Show".

[WH32290]

@coolwafferman but none better than The Gong Show.

[coolwafferman]

@WH32290 "American Idol" sucks. I wish it will go off.

[rickker20]

american Idol sucks!!!!!!!

[Littlellama0609]

sigh. That was bad.

[blonde34hockey]

lol she fell!

[redstar170]

I am betting that when she was 12 she was a star act after the family Christmas dinner.

[jerzkid87]

whaaaaaaat? i dont get it

[jimmygggg]

funny shit right there

[stratman123]

How did she even pass the audition?

She must have put her box on Chuck's head!!!

[OofusTwillip]

She passed the audition to be "non-contestant talent". They were the only ones who got gonged. However, as "non-contestant talent", they got paid for their appearance.

[WestbrookeAsylum]

Okay, seriously... somebody help her get that box off her head.

[tjm3774]

I give that act a -27.419; I don't think I myself get that box off her head...lol.

[shpickledink]

That was not funny att all.....

[OofusTwillip]

I think the "joke" was that her afro was so big, the box got stuck on her head.

[RayNDeere]

Anyone have a copy of the zipper guys doing their rendition of "Deep in the heart of Texas" before one of the gents had an unfortunate accident?

[conagher1880]

Prop comedy...sheesh...

[lwcowgirls]

is there a box doc in the house?....lol

[cindyshealed]

I loved the originality on this show, simply loved it and STILL do.

[lwcowgirls]

eat yur little heart out American Idol!

[lwcowgirls]

i remember this one....at the time, i drove my brothers and sister nuts repeating over & over: "Somebody Get This Box Offa My Head!"

[meanwiddlekid]

I remember this very well.

Of all the hundreds of outrageous acts on the show this was the only one that I really hated.

She won the most outrageous act of the week. The usual $532.16

[phzzg]

LOL Eva Gabor's like what the fuck....???? hahahhaa i love her.

[judyloveseric]

I was 10 when I first saw this act, back in 1977, and I laughed so hard! Seeing it again was really something. I laughed just as hard this time.

About 20 years ago telling my best friend about this act and we would always say "I can't get this box off my head." My best friend hadn't seen the video and only knew it from my telling her about it. She found it, and she was doubled over laughing!

[DA90027]

She should have gotten the head off her box!

[ultrakool]

i can't get this hay-ed off my box. lol

[Lava1964]

I vaguely remember this act. I was 13 in 1977 and I thought it was funny then too. Now it's just pathetic.

[okiesteveus81]

hahaha!!! this is still funny!! they need to come out the 'best of the gong show' on DVD.

[Lava1964]

Everyone is entitled to have an opinion. If you think it's funny, that's up to you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!

[okiesteveus81]

If you remember, 'the match game' with Gene Rayburn as host. I highly recommend buying the 4 disc DVD 'best of the match game'. I paid $20.00 @ wal-mart.
