Carol Burnett - "Family" Featuring Madeline Kahn

[gabsylv]

7:47 LOL

[zodiolestes]

I don't like the way you cut this up! It should have been DIVIDED IN 2PARTS!!

[SueBeaWho]

Poor baby, she's failed again. LOLOLOL

[kayllo15]

i have no idea why but when carol does her arm flapping, leg popping thing, it just cracks me up. great video with amazing people

[chinzebo]

Thanx for sharing!!!!

[miztrixiedelight]

Thank you so much for posting this! Please, if you have Carol and Madeline doing a duet for "Friend" or on the "That's Showbiz" sketch, please post! Thanks so much! :D

[EmoDeathStar121]

2 Eunice's in the same room if you get this joke a thumbs up

[nellgwenn]

@EmoDeathStar121 I am not a Eunice Burns. I am THE Eunice Burns.

HOWARD! HOWARD! Howard Bannister. When I ask you to wait for me somewhere I expect you to still be there until I get back.

Who is this person?

[heart2art]

funny always, but Eunice's character always just broke my heart. Anyone see the one where she went on the Gong Show? SO SAD!!!!

[WrestlingHeretic]

She's FAILED again!

[ddbjg]

i enjoy it so much

[cheeriosinabowl]

It's a pity that Madelaine did not have a TV show of her own. I am sure it would have been a huge hit, no matter what kind of show she did. Multi-talented she was.

[SueSnell]

@cheeriosinabowl - she did. It was called "Oh, Madeline!" But it wasn't good, sadly.

[funkster007]

Carol as Eunice = comic brilliance.

[StMeade]

I had to look twice. I thought Madeline was doing Rosanne Rosana Dana.

[StMeade]

gosh, did women really wear hair as bad as what Carol is wearing here?

what is that? the 50s , 60s?

Ah, love Vicki, Carol, and Madeline.

[DemonFoxAkira]

Too damn funny! XD

[alneal100]

Madeline Kahn.......what a doll

[megaswenson]

How did I ever miss THIS! Amazing! This is the original version of 'Positive Thinking' on Mama's Family. Thank you so much for uploading it!

[SynchroTotal]

Euncie, Ed and Mama were always golden. Adding Madeline Kahn as a guest star turns the sketch into platinum. Classic TV comedy just doesn't get any better than this!

[warp9p65]

This episode has been heavily edited, with much dialogue cut.

[SnowyMOTU]

Love the " Cat woman" comment...

[cesbally25]

sad ending "she has fail again" thats horrible coming from a mother....

[Turtle28]

"When i talk about this, AND I will..."

Love it!

[magginine]

I grew up on Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence and I adore them both.

[grecomic]

Madelin Kahn looks so Pre-Raphaelite...it looks like she raided Stevie Nick's closet and stole her hairdresser!

[pianowilliam]

"What kind of smut is this play?" OMG!!!

[Jewelrylover111]

When Eunice was doing the thing where she flopped down trying to be a 'butterfly', I lost it. XD

[MAinsworth0375]

Good Lord Eunice.

[economistman]

I wish this hadn't been cut. Can't it be put in two parts?

[ur2fat]

Too bad the most classic and memorable line was edited out: Mavis: "In our circles...in our circles...in our circles" --Priceless!!

[char4him99]

wonderful. my goodness I am going to sound like my mom, but this was when tv was actually entertaining. LOL

[1lricardo]

"When I talk about this- and I WILL- I won't forget to mention your gasps! Ha Ha! Good night, Bernice"! LOL-, but, poor Eunice...

[rickram1961]

Ms. Catwoman of Mars.....I love it!

[rockgor]

Well, Good Lord! I never knew Madeline Kahn was so tiny.  Too bad she

didn't become a recurring character on Mama's Family.

Tnx 4 posting

[jude2005386]

thanks for the post....

[ClassicMovieClub]

"When Im going to talk about this and I will" I love Madeline!

[chefoon]

I just LOVE Carol's laugh at 3:05! :D

[jonieheffner]

carol burnett slays me

[RickinFLA07]

pepper pike playhouse,,,LMAO,wonder if thats the Ohio Pepper Pike.

[MPL029]

@RickinFLA07 Its the pepper pot playhouse

[MPL029]

@RickinFLA07 Its the pepper POT playhouse..not pike

[jemjean]

Every family has a relative/relatives that are so close......it's almost painful, of course it's painful laughing.

[TheAgentChaos]

I think that's one of the things about that--it can be sort of healing to laugh at that stuff--even if in the back of your mind, you're going, "Wait, this is what it was like at *my* house!"

[zodiolestes]

Mama* ya popped up there like a jack n da box! LoL... And yes, i remember Joanne Woodward as that trashy, Midge Gibson! I have that one!

[naniwadog]

too, too funny! m. khan's "guilty!" (1:58) is hysterical! And c. burnett's "fond fruitless wishes" (3:05)--watch her face as she prepares to deliver the line; too much!

[CapricornDavo]

If you have the one where Joanne Woodward is the guest PLEASE post!

[prettylady673]

I *HEART* Carol Burnett

[antonia305]

Pepperpot Playhouse? Hilarious!

[MetalPharoah]

Haven't you ever seen Mama's Family!? Not to mention most theaters have cutesy names like that.

[markxxx21]

Anyone remember Kahn's short lived sitcom O'Madeline? It was great

[TheAgentChaos]

I *do* remember that! Ah, the seventies...

[myrabradwell40]

Madeline Kahn and Harvey Korman RIP.

[1000huzzahs]

Catwomen on Mars.. I think I saw that on MST3K. *_*

[becomingjoana]

"About the fact she was about to be beheaded? Bahahah"

That laugh keeps me cracking up everytime.

[JOCKS3000]

Just wanted to add a comment about the late great Madeline Khan. She was a true comedian with great timing and great to look at as well.

[SweetFairieFrog]

True, Jocks3000, Madeline was beautiful and talented! And sooooo funny! She is greatly missed for sure.

[JOCKS3000]

Just got back from NYC and almost burst out laughing during a perfrormance of Mary Stuart on Broadway thanks to this classic skit.

[poosaypirate]

how embarassing!

[CodyKunLvsGackt]

She reminds me of Julie Walters <3 Miss Madeline so much T.T

[hj351]

YAY!!!

[kevindiditagain]

Madeline was exquisite

[DeadJerker]

I hate laugh tracks

[tajma70]

I had and still have a big crush for Madeline Kahn. She's funny as hell

[nareyaword]

Be a butterfly with me for a moment.

[cheerjewhottie101]

madeline and harvey together again, sucks that theyre both dead, i luv them both!

[tibettetheridgefan]

Man i miss mama's family. Im only 15 so i wasnt around when it first came on but i caught the re-runs. Viki Lawrence is or should i say was incredible on that show, and shes still a very funny lady. So was Carole Burnett. Plus having another very unforgetable, hilarious actress Madeline Kahn. That show couldnt get any funnier. I guess if they decided to make a spinoff it should be called Grandma's Family

[charmedfreak1988]

Mama's Family tibettetheridgefan...Mama's Family.

[crusnikgal01]

I don't get how Eunice could not have been an actress. She a serious drama queen and she's good at it.

[heroicmuse]

@crusnikgal01 If I were the acting teacher when she went off on that rant about how Mama didn't appreciate her honourable mention ribbon I would have said, "That's good drama! Let's use it!" LOL

[angeloflove]

Vicki Lawrence is fricken fantastic!

Madeline Kahn, I just adore (RIP)

and what can one say about Carol burnett except just genus, pure and honest!

[iLuvCiconne16085868]

OMG! 3 female heavy weights of comedy - Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence and Madeline Khan - all on stage! Priceless!!

[CamFlame18]

@iLuvCiconne16085868 really though. this is like a meeting of the gods or the planets algning or haley's comet incredibl to see.

[Vandal49]

@iLuvCiconne16085868 Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence had talent, but Madeline Khan was in a whole different league!

[lyngstad1994]

love her roseanne roseanneadanna hair

[addycaroline23]

hah. me too!!

[joehop1505]

carol is to much;Ilove her

[Joeyarhino]

I don't understand why you took the curse words out of it. Thats part of the charm of these skits. It makes it more real

[pocodfe]

He did not take the curse words out. The tv station he recorded this from did. This has even been edited. The orginal is longer with a lot more to it. It's not posted in full on youtube, but this is still great. I have a copy of it on video. Hilarious!

[Gathol]

check this poco

i watched bowlin' for dollars on wfaa/channel somethin outta dallas, verne lundquist hosted. I lived just to the northwest of ft.worth, and i've actually seen the man live. ha ha. wooo not on t.v. live but live and in person, verne. ain't that sumthin?

[cynthiacher]

Actually, the way I remember this skit ending was with Thelma saying (after she says "poor baby, she's failed again), "don't you worry honey, you've still got us." After which Eunice gets a look of resigned hopelessness on her face.

[pocodfe]

That's exactly right. This was edited for tv which it was recorded from.

[rmegna]

One of my all-time favorite Carol Burnett skits. Madeline Kahn is fantastic as Mavis. A real classic!

Thanks so much for posting. I hadn't seen this skit in years, but I remembered every

hilarious line. ROTFLOL for sure!

[angeloflove]

I LOVE HER!!!!!!

[jook88]

lol that was good! thanks!

[astr4004]

"Poor baby, she's failed again!"

Classic!
