This is the original skit, played by Mo Collins (same actress as all other Lorraine skits). This was divided in to 3 parts in 1 episode (the final part was her coming back in the dark). I laughed so hard when I first saw this I almost puked!!
I know she talks like she's from the midwest, but if you were from Maine, you'd know that there are lots of Lorraines in Maine. The clothes, the hairstyle, even the throat clearing and the "Gawd you're cute." Dead on.
I remember this was the first time Mrs Lorraine was introduced, and it was one of the funniest skits I had ever seen! Her other skits were funny, but I think they eventually got too crazy (silly) with her.
I remember when this was new! I was doing Vaudeville then, and we didn't have the "You Tube" website; we still called the internet the information super-highway.
This is funny because it is true to life. Every year I hold a yard sale or two, at every sale a Lorrainesque person shows up. It's both annoying and funny at the same time.
The place where I work if a huge tourist attraction. We get a lot of goofy elderly people who ask way too many questions and grunt as they think things through. These people are my daily dose of the real-life Lorraine :)
i saw this clip in my native tongue german and i have to say the original is way better. a few years ago madtv was in german television in a dubbed version. they should have been subbed it like they did it with little britain here in austria.
this is early in season 4 1998-1999, Michael McDonald and MO Collins who plays Lorraine were the newcomers on the show and went on to become one of the greatest cast members ever!
Ok, this is the first appearance (debut) of the character Lorraine Swanson played by Mo Collins. This is a great find on Youtube, thanks to the poster.
I think this is the first Lorraine skit. I kind of figured because there is no reaction from the audience and her character is a little different (not as stupid or crazy as in the other skits). This is my favorite along with the buffet. "I can just kick myself!" lol
I think it's the second. The first one is the one where she was in the grocery store. This may have been the first one where she got her signature red sweater.
OH MY GOD MS. SWAN HAS A NORMAL VOICE.
