You Bet Your Life with Marcia Brody (Part 1)

[NaturalBornHedonist]

Ahh the good old days when we could have a laugh without any swear words or sexual inuendos ... I miss the 80s!!!

[dervinosbourne]

This is the ORIGINAL Rose Nylund

[TKirbyRN]

This is hilarious! I wish Cosby was still on TV. He was absolutely funny.

[whitfieldmusic1]

a lot of my family is from North comma South Carolina lol

[famupiccolo92]

Ha Ha Ha "North is 90 miles Southeast of Due West" I love this video!!!!

[smojo53]

Born in Ohio, but have lived in SC since teen-age years--GREAT BBQ in North! Love this video and never get tired of watching it.

[rjlinds]

This is the funniest video I've seen in a long time.

[whh01]

How do you watch the first part and not the second part??? This was GREAT.

[altargirl9]

[altargirl9]

[karaiyn]

9 people clicked the wrong thumb.

[jennybryanbltsmom]

Great way to start off your day!

[jsadeghi1]

Just wondering, What is this adorable woman doing with Andre Boccelli. JK. Cosby is genius.

[UTLonghorn215]

i sat next to this woman on a flight from Atlanta to Austin last Friday ... she had a wonderful disposition and was just as kind as can be ... she told me to google this video and i'm glad she did - hilarious!

[greeg02]

@UTLonghorn215 you are a lucky guy to meet this woman

[lindamnelsonfb]

Wish they would show reruns of this show on tv...cosby is so funny,,They just don't make tv shows like they use to.

[Cliez]

[irish89055]

Gomer's sister...

[o2wow]

I've been to North, SC several time.

[matthew269]

South Carolinian here (all my life...and I AM proud to admit it): Everything she said is absolutely true! North is a town in South Carolina, as is Due West.

[beornmatt]

I'm from South Carolina. And I'm not all that proud to admit it.

[rikstar81]

Aww poor lady leave her alone she's a complete jewel.

[GenrLedger]

Great show. Clean and hysterical. What a novel idea. Could not stop LOL. We need more of the same. Thanks!!!!!

[shantillylace333]

[TJW595]

lmao, i found due west on google earth but i cant find north XDDD OMG IM LOST!!!!

[Nightin9ale]

Well, bless huh little hawht!

[bruzer1388]

Marcia's sister in Beaufort is my aunt (by marriage). I have had a VHS copy of this edition of the show for about 10 years. Now that it's on YouTube, it's easier to show it to others. Thanks for posting, Neil. :-)

This makes two famous people from North. Eartha Kitt is the other.

[CatMingDu]

@bruzer1388 is she still w/ us? she's a very funny lady!

[bruzer1388]

@CatMingDu , she is still alive, although here sister in Charleston died a few years ago.

[Zhushika]

this is funny

[TheJeztor]

What I love is that this woman is clearly messing with Bill and he either wants to play it up for entertainment value, or completely doesn't realize it.

[ElasticGiraffe]

Watching this from Due West, SC. lol From what I understand, North is a pretty tiny town.

[fbitrucking]

You understand?

[folknhairy]

Hilarious!! Bravo. loved this!. ;-)  She's wonderful.

[deermusic]

This is in the grand tradition of Groucho Marx!

[johnnyafairbanksak]

About time we *FINALLY* have a full episode of Bill Cosby's "You Bet Your Life"!

[antipodes101]

this is why you should need a passport to go to the south

[lidsman2221]

I have been to North,SC there is not much to it.

[BobBackwardsLA]

Hilarious!

[nccsmith]

She is absolutely priceless!!

[Natsumaya]

"What video?"

[mhudson205]

4:33.... eyebrow seizure?

[jpurify08]

@mhudson205 BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! THAT, along with her saying "I don't even know where the river is!", is absolutely CLASSIC!

[BringFood4Monkeys]

........................lol

[juliaofnorwalk]

I COULDN'T LAUGH FAST ENOUGH..LMAO <3

[alexisindybaby]

I LOVE this, I'm just wondering why the guy is standing there? ;)

[hotanuri]

@alexisindybaby gotta watch the 2nd part of this video

[alexisindybaby]

@hotanuri thanks, I did...now it makes more sense :)

[TimTamFan]

Cosby "why don't you send them the video"

Marcia "what video?" ROFL

[mslindsey25208]

i understood her directions! lol. i've been to north several times. very small town.

[kaven6197]

1:03 i thought This is not gonna be good

[TheGuitarFiddler]

I love it-she was so sweet and southern-honey I'm all southern so I know what you meant-it takes a southern to know a southern-I love the movie Sweet Home Alabama-Reese witherspoon said " It takes a passport to go to the south-she's right-only another southern know's one of us-you go Marcia

[cgilbreath322]

This is so funny. This poor lady doesn't have a clue.

[totallystoopid234]

the lady is so dull its hilarious

[AltairBen]

Due West, SC = 34°19′56″N 82°23′14″W

North, SC = 33°36′58″N 81°6′13″W

[keseay]

we are not all like this. haha.

[marinefaerie]

And to think, North is very close to Sweden and Denmark.

[marinefaerie]

And to think, North is very close to Sweden and Denmark.

[VideoVixen24]

This is SO funny! Bless her heart!! She's just too cute!

[strikers123able]

hilarius

[badtyper]

Let me get this straight .... North, South Carolina is 90 miles southeast of Duewest, South Carolina. .. OK got it!! --- but who's on first??

[tonispapa]

She is priceless!! All hosts pray for guests like her!!

[neverknewtillnow]

Years ago there was a song titled "A Little Bit South Of North Carolina"

[pnm1941]

Awesome and fascinating!! Thanks for sharing this, Dan!!

[MurphDaSurf1956]

North. Been there, done that!

[curiousgeorge555]

LOL Cosby really doesn't have to say a thing. If she were standing there alone talking it would make great stand up!

[alistua]

Absolutely priceless! This woman is a jewel!

[dixiefried12]

Yeh let's make fun of Southerners... Bill Cosby hasn't been this funny since he slapped Tommy Smothers !!! ha ha!! Has been !!

[dimebag2002]

 I know where Due West is .. It's near Honea Path and Rabbit Stew

[GKFC]

Bill Cosby is playing dumb and being deliberately provocative / insulting at times.

"Where are the black people?"

What a stupid question.

The bit about the video was gold though.

[MasterHak]

Bwhahahahahahahaha cdfu

[DusteDdekay]

It's not a city, it's a taaawn :D

[gameboy772]

This was surprisingly entertaining.

[sailormike77]

"What are you making one?" - Bill's expression right after is priceless

[1tract4U]

Southern Bell from North

[sandhillguy]

I lived on South Lake in Michigan. South Lake is a bit south of nearby North Lake, and a few miles west of West Lake. Go figure.

[Craspic]

Who's on first?

[excursustoo]

@Craspic Hahahaha! That is funny!!

[internetphantom]

@Craspic what's on second?

[katsirskyjen]

poor lady, I have no idea if she's being serious or not but if she is poor poor lady

[Ladydobe2]

I have to say since moving to North Carolina that this really happens.

[Blam1955]

too funny!!!

[Elvisfever]

Love it!!!  True Southerner.

[thewilsontrio]

I live in SC and at one time I lived just a few miles from North. That made this video even funnier to me. I can't count the number of times I have watched this and I still laugh every time!

[scoobyshawn]

A FRIEND SENT ME THIS.IT'S TOO FUNNY!!~!!!

[OH2B18Again]

One of the funniest youtubes I have ever listened to!

[peanuttn1]

One of the funniest things I have ever seen! It HAS to be a favorite of Cosby's

[ForeverACountryGirl]

hahaha i'd love to have this lady in my family! hahaha!!:D

[janmorrell]

So funny! Love Bill Cosby and Ms. Brody.

[bwipmwqp]

[mcbradberry]

Bless her. This had me rolling! You just can't write stuff like this. SC Native and proud of it! I know where North, South Carolina and Due West, SC is!

[shockisallinyourhead]

zip zop doobity bop

[vrosan1]

This is hilarious and Part 2 is also great. This show evidently was taped 25 years ago. I had tears running down my face from laughing so hard! Thanks for sharing this with all of us! A comedy writer couldn't have written these lines any better and I don't know how Bill Cosby could keep a straight face during this!

[Alvin691]

It's Pat

[binabutter94]

I remember watching this video of (Great) Aunt Marcia when I was younger. It's one of my favorites.

[sigmafan]

After seeing a few clips, Bill Cosby's run of YBYL was a very good way to revive the franchise. Sure sometimes he looked like he didn't care, but when you got to the contestants talking and all the rest of the good stuff, this could have been a great success instead of the 1 and done that it was.

[naomistwin]

Bet the town of North didn't know that Eartha Kitt wasn't the only tv star from their town. My kids loved this clip of their Great-Aunt Marcia. They used to watch it when they visited their grandmother. Thanks Neil for posting it.

[mrhogwild165]

OMG! Jaws will be sore from all the laughing after watching this clip. Must've been 25+ yrs. ago.

[jdevans2u]

I love this Video, Bill did a fantastic job with her

[Kentm0300]

Blackie Collins lives in North, South Carolina. If you have a pocketknife, Blackie probably designed it. Genius.

[dateagleschickt]

MY HOME TOWN LOL NORTH, SC

[lnvane00]

OMG!! this video is hilarious!!!! Part two is funny too!!

[sjackies56]

Too funny......must see!

[almostanutcase]

Love it!!!

[77Demetria]

SO, glad we don't live in the South anymore. I couldn't deal with these people.

[cajiedog]

@77Demetria - did you mean dementia?

[cajiedog]

@77Demetria @77Demetria - don't you mean dementia?

[uscudaddy2010]

I'm from South Carolina and I have lived here my whole life and love it! I think this is funny as hell, but whats so funny is that I completely understand everything she says. I wouldn't live in anyother state.

[hdaustonmoving]

This is funny!!!!!!

[painter790]

I also was raised in North, SC.  North was named in 1890 for John F. North, Confederate veteran of Co. D, 20th SC Volunteer Regiment. Mr. North was instrumental in founding the town. Back when one had to go thru operators for long distance calls, I remember, when trying to call home, having many exasperating verbal exchanges with the operator concerning just where I was trying to call.

[JROLL1]

KINDA TAKES THE OLD ABBOTT & COSTELLO "WHO'S ON FIRST?" TO A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL!

[thinker7480]

I laughed til I cried! 

[hatpit]

I have not laughed so hard in quite awhile. This is so funny.

[cab013156]

U will laugh so hard at this video ... enjoy

[gempeddlersc]

I live in West Columbia, and North is 30 miles south of here. LOL

[lovesred3998]

@gempeddlersc I lived in West Columbia once!

[heelsmaniac34]

OM gosh, this video will have youi in stitches!

[GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

Bless her heart!

I grew up with lots of folk like this- just the loveliest people you'll ever meet.

[Bethieboo519]

I went to college in Due West, SC and I've been to North, SC!

[indialyne]

If I was a' dirven up inta' SC, by golly, which a'way would I have ta' turn to go North?

[MrQbrick]

Who's on first?

[TheNorthSC]

@MrQbrick

It's not a joke - people really do live in North, SC!

[TheNorthSC]

I live in North, SC and believe u me, it is very difficult 2 explain 2 people from other states where this little town is.

[TheNorthSC]

@bananazen I live there 2.

[TheNorthSC]

@TheNorthSC

[ldarlener]

I am not originally from SC. The first time we went to North, SC for BBQ, it was a cluster trying to have the hubby explain where we were going.

That was not embarrassing or shameful. Just good plain funny comedy.

Way to go Marcia Brody. Who else got Bill Cosby to commit to sending their brothers and sisters the video.

[DONGOE]

This lady is exactly right.

Google map - North, South Carolina it's directly south of the capital, Columbia.

Due West, South Carolina is west of Columbia.

Bill Cosby is a comedic, he knows how to play her for the entertainment of the studio and TV audiences.

[11blueneon]

that women was sooooo funny and confused!!!!!!!!! i live in the north part of south carolina too!!!!! :0

[taztaztazman]

Last week, my wife's car broke down at the Piggly Wiggly in North. I had a DEVIL of a time with the girl at AAA trying to convince her there was a North, SC.

Q: Just which northern part of South Carolina are you?

A: It's not in the northern part of the state, ma'am. It's North.

Q: North of what?

A: NO LADY, I'M AT THE PIGGLY WIGGLY IN NORTH, SOUTH CAROLINA!

Q: What's nearby?

A: Orangeburg

Q: I see Orangeburg, but I don't see North

A: I do. I'm right here broke down at Piggly Wiggly

[helloimtess]

@taztaztazman that was as funny to read as the video was to watch!

[TheBandMom]

I don't see the 'slap on Southerners'...we tend to have a dry and pokerfaced sense of humor when sharing our idiosyncrasies with the 'outside world'...I thought this was hilarious!!

[64ANNEJ]

I feel that this was all just for fun, nothing to be taken seriously except that maybe she was from the town of North originally. I live in North and have been here for nearly 12 yrs. Those that are familiar with North, know that the Edisto River is in North, and for her not to be familiar with it, goes to show me that it was all for fun.

[hammr25]

@64ANNEJ Of course it's fake, like everything else on tv.

[spiritdreamer61]

OMG..this is hilarious!  But on the other hand, it is definitely a slap in the face to us southerners. I live 10 miles from Beaufort, SC and I promise you, people are really not like that down here. There may be a few here and there but I am sure they are all over the country. The south's bad rap will never die, I guess. But, very close to us, we do have: Liberia & Switzerland.....LOL.

[RealtorTimo]

He is the greatest of all times.

[dlandew]

tigerpawl, that's sad! I was born in Louisiana and raised in NC. I went to college and hold a good job at a fortune 200 company. I consider myself a country boy and love the south. I laughed until I started coughing. This is just funny, I don't care who you are!

[eviantears]

this is hilarious!!!

[50strings]

Too cute... Love it!!!

[tigerpawl]

No, I just think its a slap in the face to country people.

[YaelleG]

Hey....that's my Great Aunt (Marcia). So cool to see her online!

[YaelleG]

@YaelleG - to the people who are saying things: she's not spaced out or anything, just Extremely laid back & chilled out. You'd have to see it in person to understand!

[CarolinaTrel]

roflmao!!!

[TucsonJohn27]

I'm now watching this for the 4th time and am nearly actually ROTFL! :-)

[lustre5]

Who's On First all over again!

[EnGiNeEr790]

Don't forget Norway between North and Denmark, and Finland north-east of Denmark. And North is not west, but north-west of Orangeburg, which is not near Spartanburg. And finally, there is no lake in Lake City.

I actually remember seeing this show.

Go Tigers!

[TheKaaify]

I grew up in Bishopville, SC and wonder who Marcia Brody's sister is and how long she has lived in B'ville.

[jonasmania2008]

HAHAHAHA!!!! she makes us look bad. lol

[millersequine]

I never laughed so hard......Aiken, S.C. and I have best friends in Due West...and North is South of us....but we come from North of here in Connecticut....

[1LdyWlf]

LMAO This is AWESOME... I miss good ole North, South Carolina... I graduated from North High...

[silligirl3]

Very funny!! I went to high school in North. It really does take that much explaining!!!

[Pyesangel]

Too, too funny!!!

[ddubayard]

this is just way too funny to miss seeing

Duane

[bananazen]

ROFL!!!!!! I live in North, SC... great little town.

[OnerealAmerican]

@bananazen

I'm an insurance agent. My car blew its transmission in North about three weeks ago. I'm still driving my husband's van while waiting for the tranny to be fixed.

[Biokue]

Dont get it...

[TheKaaify]

@Biokue Hmmm.........now let me see if I can explain to you.

North is a small place in SC......also in that area is Denmark, SC and Sweden, SC.

Actually there is a Due West also..............near Spartenburg, SC.

The state capitol, Columbia, SC is just north of North, SC.........however if you wish to go to Due West, SC........you would wind up in Spartenburg, SC (this is the city that Lewis Grizzard made one of his most popular jokes about).

Are you still following me?

Hope this helps!

[TheKaaify]

@TheKaaify So sorry of the mix-up.......thought I was posting on Biokue site.

dutchislandlady

[agstanley]

Did you know that Eartha Kitt was from North, SC?

[txbluesguy]

Its like that old Who's on First? by Abbott and Costello

[trudypepper]

Oh my soul! This is to funny not to share it!!!!!!!!

[enazatol]

he musta been pissed

[mzdelight06]

LIVE IN NORTH AND IT IS JUST DAT HARD EXLAININ TO PEOPLE WHERE IT IS!!!

[OnerealAmerican]

@mzdelight06

Yup. I got through there on insurance business. In fact I think I have a client in North. I have one in Due West also. She should have told him that North is west of Ninety Six, ---really get him confused. LOL.

[AcuteAngle0417]

This is hysterical! I actually know where North, South Carolina is.

[OnerealAmerican]

@AcuteAngle0417

Yup, North, Ninety Six, Due West, Olin, and a whole bunch of other funny little names. That's my stomping ground for life insurance and more through Physician's Mutual. They'll send us anywhere. The hardest place to get around in is McCormick because most of Savanna Lakes Village and half of the town itself either isn't on the map (not even google) and if you do find it on the internet, it isn't right. GPS only works about half the time there.
