Smothers Brothers - 03 - Yo-Yo Man

[whoiskcwhat]

Wow, brothers...

[zamstrom]

He is the greatest yoyoer to ever live. I loved every second of this.

[TonyHickschick]

I have an interesting story. My sister, back in the 70's, was working at a department store. Tommy came in and asked her where the toy department was. He came back and said,"what is a toy department without a yo yo?"

[LadieBug357]

i clicked "like" because there's no "love" button!

[SamShackleford1]

crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight and we wont let you take her for your mate TAKE IT AWAY GANG!!!!

[Emophiliac2]

It was sad when they stopped using this song and went with some new song. You can still hear this song off Mason William's 'Handmade' album, though.

[krushrfolyfe]

@machinamanification, I was referring to scootermcdade's comment about Tommy only doing "basic looping tricks." Clearly he can't put up, so he shut up.

[Lennon4life1968]

Ahhhhhhh the power of Yo...

May we all share in the power of Yo one day!!

Thank you Tommy, Dick and Thenich412.

[kartman530]

<3 Smothers Brothers.

[tfritz92]

lol!

[hamguin47]

no one would attempt that trick at the end cuz it sux lol

[skipplet]

@hamguin47 Yeah that was kind of the joke.

[hamguin47]

I know that's why I said lol

[robart56]

Had you known the Smothers Brothers, you'd know that it was done that way intentionally. Doing lame and cheesy stuff was for fun.

[newmexicoronstadtfan]

i miss the good old days.

[ValreeShoe]

Fun! Thanks for posting this!

[mandmhembd]

I wonder how long these guys have been around. They are pretty entertaining and funny to.

[Jourell1]

from their website, they've been performing professionally as the smothers brothers  since 1959

[weardmann]

no doubt. all I ever herd of them was an old record my dad had. I herd even they were still performing. is that true?

[W2ICA]

Where in the hell did classic funny clean tv ever go? If anyone finds it hiding someplace convince it to come back to the screen.

Smothers brothers are awesome.

[KillahLedesma]

um why did you admit that??????????? that you killl innoce baby pandas huh??????

[BurnEdOutOne]

Interesting you would say that when at the time when their career was at its peak they were hardly considered clean. They were banned from NBC for being too offensive during the Vietnam War and Nixon administration. TV today will be seen as clean and wholesome 30 years down the road, you're just out of touch.

[earvingibbs69]

Correction: They were fired from CBS for their controversial comments

[fifthworld]

@BurnEdOutOne  You mean CBS

[deepfielder]

I love it.

[bear1989s]

They performed this song here in Washington DC area about two years ago--maybe it's only done occasionally? It brought down the house at Wolftrap..

[Emophiliac2]

They had a different song that they used in Salinas, CA back in the mid-90s and I believe they used the same, new song when I saw them in Salt Lake City, UT around 2000. I haven't seen them since, so it would be great if they went back to the original.

[Emophiliac2]

It is sad that they no longer perform that song during their performance. I prefer it a lot more than the song they are using now. It makes me wonder why they had to drop the song.

[Maestrojosh87]

They did it when I saw it at Peekskill.

[wcd47]

If you all ever get the chance... They had a album called "Smothers Brothers Play It Straight".... They are great artists.......

[Samps432]

haha wow the guitar in the beginning was so cool :)

[kyletsc]

I just saw this act last week in charolette. It was awesome

[YoYoVideyoz]

Ha thats pretty cool

[quiltcrazee]

anyone could do those tricks!

[kinridge]

Sure. You?

[drjackripper]

no they cant! it takes alot of practice

[GodSaveThePeople101]

Goooo Tommie and Dickie Smothers!

[darthbetty]

I'm looking for a song by them where Tom thinks he is The Whistler, then the greenhornet, then Captain Marvel

Does anybody know what that's called?

[treuly]

It's called Lonesome Traveler from "Curb your tongue, Knave"

[England1414]

what kind of yo-yo does tom use?

[drax333]

i'm 99% sure it's an old wooden Duncan Butterfly.

[sylgod2008]

I had a Smothers Brothers album back in the 60's and it had them singing Dance boatman, Dance does anyone have that album? It was so funny and I don't know what happened to it.

thanks sylgod2008

[stevenltucker]

I do.

[buoyinspace]

Amazon now has 2 albums for sale.

[MattHatter]

Love Tom and Dick! Wonder if Tom can still do his yo-yo as good as he did then.

[Butturfli1900]

he is just as good as he ever was. i saw them perform a couple weeks ago. my side hurt from laughter!

[jackmo80]

rock against ass

[0920197234]

tommy and dick smothers! one of our brilliant comedy pair's

[19LJH62]

I loved this excerpt from the show. These two are the ultimate Brothers.

[DebC56]

There may have been a question about which one Mom loved best, but Tommy Smothers has always been my favorite!!

[PRR5406]

@DebC56 His brother is the perfectly timed straight man. Dick has always been my favorite, as the impact of his brother's stupid antics echo in his face. Tom would be funny, but not nearly so, without Dick Smothers.

[Bobburnet]

Thanks for putting that out there.

[CaptainRetro]

GAD, I wish I was there for that show! The Smothers Brothers AND John Williams! I'd have perma-grin for days!

Thanks for posting!

[bcbcbcbudsbudsbuds]

they aged crazily well lol

[Scootermcdade]

I take back what I said though once i watched the whole video. sorry

[Tinker2e]

That's what I'm sayin yo yo!!

[sanitarium09]

these guys still alive?

[Melvinyoder]

Yep, and still touring

[rausha6]

Yes, and they Still perform occassionally.

[beastiegirl95]

hell yeah these guys arent too old they still got it!

[docrosko]

When I was a kid in the 80's my mom made us do the "mom liked you best" routine. Thanks for the video. Loved it.

[angga702]

i bet that was pretty awesome back in the 80's

[Scootermcdade]

all he does are basic looping tricks..

[krushrfolyfe]

so where's your reply vid of "Tommy Smothers sucks", while you show us some advanced stuff? Didn't think so.

[chaoscleaner]

krushrfolyfe: He probably can't even get it down and back up again; if you know what I mean.

[machinamanification]

@krushrfolyfe

what do you mean?

[iagrl]

I remember Tommy doing his yo yo man on TV when I was younger. He was really good at it and knew how to make it funny. They were classic until the censors dropped them. I love the show where Jim Stafford flipped the bird. Classic!!!1

[wrarmatei]

Wow, I don't know if he sucks at yoyoing or what. They probably do, considering Eddie was doin' his thing back then.

[michellec0791]
