This is when there was talent in Hollywood those days are long gone even the late night shows are nothing but crap they'll never be another Johnny Carson or Jay Leno.
Watch I Love Lucy each morning. Am 74, remember watching the episodes when they were not reruns. Lucy and Desi really loved kids. You can see the love in the interaction with Little Ricky and other kids on the show.
I'm curious, was this played up for comedy, or was it really believable to know absolutely nothing in Spanish in the 1950's? All of the words she's struggling with I learned from watching Sesame Street, which came along at the end of the following decade. So did a lot of other people in the United States, which is why even though majority of people I know here don't speak Spanish, I don't think I've met anybody that doesn't at least know how to say hello and thank you.
The US was more isolated in the 1950s immigrants were expected to assimilate and there was much less international travel. Lucy's lack of Spanish expertise is believable for an average woman or man of the 1950s, except that I would expect the spouse of a Cuban immigrant to have picked up at least a little Spanish. Ricky's mispronunciations and grammatical errors were played up for comedy as was Lucy's lack of expertise
@@jasonpalacios2705 enough with the race baiting you weirdo. btw spanish is a european language just like french. you act like spanish came from latin america. get real.
Lucy: well that's different Spanish is a foreign language Ricky: well english is a foreign language to me Lucy: well the way you speak it it is to me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@snowangelnc That's exactly what he was doing - translating. He said, specifically -' It means ' mama '. That's the textbook definition of 'translating'. Then he should have been clear -' It means my mother, but his grandmother '. He said -' It means ' mama '. No. It doesn't. It means, specifically -' Grandmother '. That's like me saying -' Wife means ' Sister in Law'.
@robinrobyn1714 watch the clip again. Lucy says, "I'm so nervous I can't remember my own name," to which little Ricky responds, "it's mommy," referring to Lucy.
He said you couldn’t say buenos días (good morning) because it was no longer morning he told her to say buenas noches (good evening) when she greeted them because it was now evening.
@@valkelly3054 That doesn't answer my question. When you say "good night" in English it is a parting, not a greeting, so I was curious if it was the same in Spanish.
@@walmartpimp2 it is both a greeting and parting in Spanish translated as either good night or good evening depending on context. Although not as common in English good evening can also be used as a greeting where as good night is not.
Lucille Ball had to fight to get Desi Arnaz to actually play her on-screen husband. The producers thought it was unbelievable that they would be married, even if they WERE! She pointed out how he fought in the US army during WWII, how he was against communism (due to his experience in Cuba), and how they showed on-screen chemistry.
Lucy is so pretty and funny in this episode and she and Desi were the perfect double act, on screen anyway. I thought I was making progress in my Spanish but even the few lines spoken here make me realise that I don't know s**t. Macho grazo meant nothing to me, I thought a big fat pig would be a cerdo gordo
It is. Macho grasa would be more accurate translated as "man fat (as in the noun instead of the adjective). For the purposes of the show and comedy they don't elaborate on it, but what you thought it also correct.
I always loved this show. I started watching it with my grandma and it was the episode when Lucy and Ricky moved out into the country and Ethel and Fred went over to visit them. Spanish is a hard language to learn. I always wanted to learn Spanish cuz jobs now days it seems like they won't hire u unless u know Spanish because not everybody understands English. I wanted to take Spanish in high school but they wouldn't let me take it because they said just cuz I have a learning disability that it be to hard for me. I got discriminated because of it. They would say I cant do this, can't do that and put me down all the time sense kindergarten but I proved everybody wrong. First of all mine is minor not severe, I can work, I can read, I can drive, I got a drivers license, I can cook, I can bake, I can tell time, I can count money, I'm more independent then most of the kids that were in my class. And im proud of it. Maybe if I decide to go to college I'll take Spanish. I think it be fun to learn to a new language. I know a few words in Spanish but thats about it.
@@QuietlyCurious okay. Just alot of people told me that it's a hard language to learn. Teachers mainly when I was in school of course u read about that.
This very famous episode of I Love Lucy demonstrates very clearly,that you CAN learn and know another language-Where is the proof or evidence-The fact that all of us learned or learnt our FIRST language-Whether your first language was English,or Spanish,or Chinese-Even Little Ricky in this episode was learning and speaking Spanish so PERFECTLY-And he was ONLY a little boy!!!🥰😇
@@QuietlyCurious Spanish pronunciation may be easy but its grammar rules are not. Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is actually much more easier to become sufficiently fluent than Spanish because Bahasa Indonesia is also highly phonetic, meaning the words are pretty much pronounced exactly as they’re spelled. It also contains fewer words than most languages. The grammar rules are also very relaxed, and there are no grammatical genders or verb conjugations to memorize.
This reminds me of when my mom visited my dad’s family in Uruguay sand said “musto gucho” to everyone instead of “mucho gusto.”
This is when there was talent in Hollywood those days are long gone even the late night shows are nothing but crap they'll never be another Johnny Carson or Jay Leno.
Always used to say being married to Ricky that long Lucy should know some basic Spanish Still never tire watching this show
I should of learned Spanish back in my youth. She said basically nothing, big fat pig = cerdo grande y groso
Por favor...Adios 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Subtitulos en Español por favor 🙏🏻 🙌 😩 😥 😭 😢😢😢😢😢

I loved Lucy's dress in this clip. How adorable!
She was funny
Wasn’t there an episode where she tried to say “gracias” but says “grassy ass”?
u mean where she supposedly called Alberto a "fat pig" in Spanish? well that's this episode dear
@@smoreblox3485 no,, dear. That was not my intended question.
@@donnareed9060oh I think I found out what u meant. is it the episode where Ricky's mother came to visit the Ricardos?
Yes. I'm pretty sure it's the episode where she auditions as a dancer, Lucy and Ricky dance to Cuban Pete.
Lucy tells Ricky she's a size 12, but rips the dress. He yells at her in Spanish.
Lucy: well that's different Spanish is a foreign language Ricky: well english is a foreign language to me Lucy: well the way you speak it it is to me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Abuela means Grandma. Not mom

The hispanic guy is puerto rican or cuban or mexican?

He was Cuban.
"Como esta usted?" was adorable

Ricky´s Spanish is not much better than his English....I wonder If he did it on purpose.
Nice nice
She was so pretty. A classic beauty.
She was a movie star before she and Desi created the show
Between Lucy and HSM
:31 to :46 is the best part of the whole thing.
I hope the actor who played Little Ricky continued learning Spanish. Perfect age to learn and he seems genuinely enthusiastic
Oh, yes indeed. He said "abuela" so nicely.
So do I
It's Desi Arnaz Jr., Lucy and Desi's son.
@@arpc0027 No is not,little Ricky was play by Keith Thibodeaux,before that the character was play by twins when he was a baby.
@@arpc0027 it’s not Desi Arnaz it’s Keith Thibedaux not sure if it’s spelled correctly
So nice to see a white and a Latino couple we all humans it should never be about race more about getting along with each other

Desi was of Spanish decent. And he was considered white
