@anatoliachtzein: the extended sketch is available on YouTube. Just search for Lily Tomlin+Merv Griffin. It has Ernestine castigating "Mr. Veedle" (the author Gore Vidal) for having written the "filthy" Myra Breckenridge.
Thanks for uploading but I believe there is still more to this sketch where Ms. Tomlin then continues, pulling a file on Mr. Veetle showing that he's made child support payments to (an illegitimate) son named "Bok Choy" in South Korea for the last 17 years - then "Mr. Veetle" FINALLY relents!
LOL!!! This reminds me too much of many collection calls I've received over the years! O_O Even though they didn't threaten me like THAT. LOL But they will still ornery about it! Still, this is pretty funny and Lily at her best! :)
Privileged information! "Oh Mr. Beetle that's so cute!" Timeless, absolutely timeless! *laffin* A large burly serviceman, ... lock up the liquor! Oh my, just perfect!
"Mr. Beetle, you are not dealing with just anyones fool, I am a highschool graduate."
"Mr. Beetle, I wan't you to understand something, we are not subject to city, state, or federal regulations. We are omnipotent .. thats potent with an omni before it."
"..and if you do not pay your bills in ten days, we will send a large burley man to rip the phone out of your wall"
One of the best ones was when Ernestine called up Richard Nixon and kept calling him "Mr. Milhous." She noted that "you have been living at your present address only one year, and we like to keep closer tabs on our transient customers." :-)
I remember that this Laugh In sketch went on forever, with "Mr. Veedle" as the character. When the punchline was revealed (Vidal - Gore Vidal?) was revealed, I didn't get it but my parents did! Turns out that, later in life, I read a great novel by GV - "Burr" I recommend it to all of you out there!
I used to cuss out the phone company. I hated to deal with SBC Ameritech. Horrible Company to deal with! The operator used to hang up and I'd call back and swear. It was funny at the time!
I would love to find out if "Mr Veedal" is really Gore Vidol. It may have been an in joke if he had issues with the telephone company. I'll bet a lot of telephone operators out there could identify Lily Tomlin with their supervisor, especially with that nasal twang and the Joan Crawford hairdo.
@TheFrontrowkid Yes, "Mr. Veedal" was indeed supposed to be Gore Vidal. In later skits, "Mr. Veedal" corrects her pronunciation of his name. It went something like . . . "Vidal? As in Gore Vidal? Author of that trashy, pornographic novel, MYRA BRECKINRIDGE ? (snort!) Well, I'll bet your mother's proud of you." I haven't seen that last part posted on YouTube yet, but it may be out there. I'd love to see it, if it is.
I'm in tears..lol Losing your service and the possible use of one eye. R U Serious?? Only the phone company. And they are still powerful to this day.
@fourstar7 most likely 23.60 was a scripted low price to make the skit more absurd. This aired before the bell breakup. When LD calls for the working populace where reserved for family emergencies. Not much frivolous reaching out to touch someone.
Ahhh they left out a part. She has a dirty tape of him and her together lol. I can still hear her say òh Mr. Vittal, blackmail is such an ugly word. We like to call it a visious threat.`` I love this skit lol.
So cool...My mom was a telephone operator way back in the day...and we used to listen to Lily tomlin doing Earnestine on moms old vinyl...such awesome memories ! and still soo funny....thanks for the laughs Lily tomlin !!
A real classic. As funny today as when I first saw it. Can I get the audio for a ring tone. Just the part, "One ringy dingy, Two ringy dingy, " Maybe it could be extended for a ringtone to last 45 sec or however long a ringtone is suppose to last. Maybe she could get louder or lose her temper. I would really love that.
@alabamaflyer There are some best-of DVD's available. Look around on eBay and you should find them. I wouldn't mind having complete seasons of Laugh-In available, but I'm sure it would be a nightmare trying to get clearance for all the guest stars they had.
This is great! im in a play right now and i need inspiration, cause im on the phone half the time, and this is just what i needed! my director was so smart, because he was the one that told me about this..... cool!
A pure genius Lily Tomlin is!!!! I am 46 and Thank goodness all those shows are on dvd. 110 junk on tv and horribe music today! Love 60s and 1970s !!!
@heebieandjeebie Obviously you don't get outside mainstream music. Mainstream music in the 70's was horrible. In the way of TV, Boardwalk Empire, 30 Rock, Modern Family, Breaking Bad and Mad Men are hardly junk.
@michael918273645 so I was born in 1963. Today majority of music and tv shows are nothing but pure garbage! One mans opinion and I glad i grew up when again in my opinion ,when tv,movies and music were terrific! That is why Howard Johnsons offered over 50 flavors of icecream. Every one has there own taste! many of my friends feel the same way with crap these days!
Lily rocked! Though I think she works for the cell phone companies I cancelled as well! Now it's just prepaid for me. It seems more expensive until you have a problem with a major carrier like I did.
SatinAnLace I could not agree more with you. Seems to me str8 people are more obsessed with sex than us gays. I for one never even think if a performer or anyone else is gay or str8. If their talented their talented... PERIOD......
Just as funny now as it was when it originally came out.....You have to love Lilt Tomlin, and who cares if she is a lesbian ( What difference does it make )
She doesn't care if you think she's pretty, she's a lesbian, and besides that, who gives a **** if you think she's ugly? She a terrific comedienne...a legend!
when 'hell' freezes over, and yeah homeland security is right! me gave ma bell the boot and get along very well w the cell. send the mean drunk over here, i fix em up w devil woman, she teach him a thing or two!

My aqua phone was a regular rotary phone. My husband and I bought a 1960's ranch and the original owners left the burnt orange princess phone in the [Brady Bunch] basement --it still worked great. We replaced the olive green [state of the art] rotary wall phone in the kitchen...it was way too 70's.
Too bad we didn't keep it, we'd may get top dollar today on Ebay. LOL!
I love Lily. I did her Fast Talker "Peeved" routine from her album in front of her once and she loved it. I also do Ernestine, Edith Ann, and Trudy the Bag Lady.
The very moment I got a call that day in 1979 confirming my employment at "THE PHONE COMPANY", I thought to myself, "ERNESTINE, the OPERATOR, one ringy dingy!!" OH, little did I know what those next 28 years were going to be like!! Love to see Lily Tomlin, always dear to my heart!!
I worked for the telephone company for 11 years :) I still say Ernestine should've been our training videos. That was right at the time of the great BELL & AT&T break up. Now we're all together again, and let Ernestine reign supreme! Don't let Fattwat Patel's Call Centre in Bombay handle your accounts.
"we will send a tall, burly serviceman to come over to your house and rip it out of the wall...i advise you to lock up the liquor, he's a mean drunk.."
Someone played her on the radio the other day. She was chastising Mr. Hoover of the FBI for eavesdropping on other people's phone calls (just like she is always doing). She told him it was a federal offence. She signed off by complimenting his vacuum cleaners.
This is classic! LMAO

Young punks don't know what it was like. I know one that has never seen a rotary phone for real.

"Ah, those were the days.
Ma Bell".
Oh Yes. Do you remember party lines? My grandparents had a party line.
My great Aunt Elsie's tel # was:
KE 10928
I think that KE stands for 'Kensington'.
I had an aqua colored rotary phone when I was a teenager. :D I had a transistor radio too! ;D

My mother still has a rotary phone in the basement. Still works too.
Aqua? Was it a princess phone?

My aqua phone was a regular rotary phone. My husband and I bought a 1960's ranch and the original owners left the burnt orange princess phone in the [Brady Bunch] basement --it still worked great. We replaced the olive green [state of the art] rotary wall phone in the kitchen...it was way too 70's.
Too bad we didn't keep it, we'd may get top dollar today on Ebay. LOL!

I love Lily. I did her Fast Talker "Peeved" routine from her album in front of her once and she loved it. I also do Ernestine, Edith Ann, and Trudy the Bag Lady.

Does anybody have the rare special, Lily...For President? It had a good number of guest stars, including Scott Baio.

The very moment I got a call that day in 1979 confirming my employment at "THE PHONE COMPANY", I thought to myself, "ERNESTINE, the OPERATOR, one ringy dingy!!" OH, little did I know what those next 28 years were going to be like!! Love to see Lily Tomlin, always dear to my heart!!

I worked for the telephone company for 11 years :) I still say Ernestine should've been our training videos. That was right at the time of the great BELL & AT&T break up. Now we're all together again, and let Ernestine reign supreme! Don't let Fattwat Patel's Call Centre in Bombay handle your accounts.

Someone played her on the radio the other day. She was chastising Mr. Hoover of the FBI for eavesdropping on other people's phone calls (just like she is always doing). She told him it was a federal offence. She signed off by complimenting his vacuum cleaners.
