- My hero, Carol Burnett. She is a genius. She stood up for gay rights on national television, when it was NOT OKAY TO BE GAY. I watch this as an adult, who was a child in the 70's, looking back, knowing what I know now, she and everyone in this skit, took A HUGE RISK. It's not hard to read between the lines. In the 70's and 80's, EVERYDAY after school, I watched Carol Burnett. She lifted my spirits bc I was and still am that weird kid. Her humor, that show shaped the humor that I have today.Your welcome world! #carolburnett #anitabryant #lgbt #sketchcomedy
Carol Burnett was/is a true icon, not just for gay people, but for everyone. She took a stand in tearing down barriers simply by poking fun at them--and sometimes in a savagely funny way. Loved her show then, love the reruns now.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic As you have conformed to idiocy. Congrats...or something...
@@jessfrankel5212 okay, bless your heart.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Bless yo' heart, too, honey chile. Y'all know where I'm comin' from...
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic GOOD! Don't feed the trolls!
@@MrJoeybabe25 Meade us a troll
Tim Conway as Truman Capoti is perfect.
I didn't notice Tim played that one. Tks.
I thought that was Elton John
Kept waiting for the pie in the face.
SAME
Lol well at least it was a fruit pie.
Must’ve been before that happened. I only heard of her after I started watching the golden girls and the first thing I saw on CZcams was the pie in her face
me too! lol! my mom told me abt Anita Bryant, & suddenly the Anita Bryant jokes on the Golden Girls made more sense, & then years later, I saw the infamous "pie in the face" incident on youtube! LOL simply amazing! I feel like JK Rowling needs a pie in her face now bc she's basically Anita Bryant for the 21st century.
@@shadymercury - The movie Milk (2008) featured a clip of Anita Bryant (on the TV in the movie) and everybody in the theater booed her... though I had no idea who she was at the time.
This skit has given me life!!!! Miss Carol throwing shade and in such a lady like way! As if I needed another reason to love her!
Low key savage. Said so much without saying anything at all.
Actually it wasn't very clever at all. The "jokes" were low hanging fruit.
@@Suddenlyits1960...which sounds perfectly fitting as a means to mock the "orange" sponsor lady.
"I just love queens.(lol)".
When Carol Burnett takes you down, you KNOW that you're gone. Yay Carol!!
That was absolutely groundbreaking she stood up for a group that was demonized at the time. You have to remember she had a large staff of homosexuals working for her at the time. She was almost considered a Beacon as she had a stage for the public. She was smart enough to realize That being gay is not a Stigma....
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Go spew your hatred somwhere else sweetie
@@patrick4324 it isnt hatred.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic ok, sure
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic The Dark Ages demand you return.
The Modern Era will happily pay for your extradition.
How would #TheReligiousWhite accomplish anything without scapegoating one select group or another? Having a common enemy is the only thing keeping religious groups from tearing each other's throats out.
Gays have inalienable rights, which include living their authentic life, engaging in politics and commerce free of the burdens of religious intolerance you somehow imagine should quash their liberty, and pursuing their own happiness.
You don't have a say in whether gays are fully equal to straight people. They are.
Inalienable rights can't be limited to the tyranny of the majority's consent. Unless you are a lousy American who doesn't believe in equal protection of the law and "all men are created equal," shut up and get out of the way.
@@Dr_JSH the dark ages were called that because people turned their backs on God. Look it up.
My mom told me I would cry and wouldn't go to bed until I saw The Carol Burnette show when I was 3 or 4 years old. That should have been her first clue that I wasn't exactly like my 2 older brothers!
I just learned of Anita Bryant by seeing video of her getting face pied. I didn't think I could find anything funnier, but this video proved me wrong.
I actually watched this on broadcast television, but the subtext went right over my head (forty odd years ago).
Brilliant.
Carol and Co.'s show was gayer than gay every week...think about it. Joan Crawford parodies. Bob Mackie madness. Cher on every other week. Pure camp, genius...fearless!
cheistopher f. reidy That does not mean you know anything about the private lives of the talent who regularly appeared on The Carol Burnett Show. For example, Harvey Korman’s off-camera life is none of your business.
Also, you can not generalize about who watched the show in the 1960s or 1970s. It was a network television show, so millions of people watched it regularly or sometimes caught parts of the hour-long telecasts while changing channels.
You can generalize about who attended Village People concerts but not about who watched an American network television series.
Be careful when making generalizations about people, christopher f. reidy.
only like three channels those times
@@kathrynfauble9053 Calm down Karen
@@ByronVoogt Karen, indeed. Karen Carpenter sang duets with Carol Burnett on network television. If anyone believes Karen had a mostly gay following, they need to prove it. She has been unable to speak for herself since 1983. Many of the people who purchased her albums in the 1970s are gone, too.
Harvey Korman can not speak for himself. Karen Carpenter can not speak for herself. Discuss their work or leave them alone. There will come a time when you can not speak.
@@kathrynfauble9053 she had a camp gay following
And that, kids, is how you throw shade at basic haters and read them to filth at the same time!!😄
My grandparents loved Carol Burnett. They were also anti-homosexual, but we were in Long Beach, which was a big gay town. I think Carol softened them.
Carol has long since earned my respect and admiration. This skit is only ONE of the reasons...
she lost mine.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Anita had lied
@@biruss believe what you wish.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic she claimed gays recruit
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic no one cares for ur respect
This sketch threw more shade than a palm tree. I can’t even begin to tell you how much it saddens me that no one does comedy this way anymore.
Carol throwing some serious shade there. :)
@Sharon Jensen Yes she did! Anita was so Awful.
Sharon Jensen Anita Bryant was an American who exercised her right to free speech in the era before social media was invented. Roseanne Barr’s behavior is a lot creepier than anything Anita said or did.
@@kathrynfauble9053 ainta called gays chomos. wear your depends
@@biruss It is okay to laugh about the fact that several years after Anita spoke her mind about gay men, a lot of them died. Very few lesbians became HIV-positive. The explanation here has something to do with how two people can squeeze together in various ways. Tee-hee!
@@kathrynfauble9053 str8s who recklessly spread disease could teach. Not our point otherwise
Fantastic! 🙂❤️🧡🧡💛💚💙💜
A TV producer from another network told us that Burnett and the show’s producers would try to make the program as dirty as they could possibly get by with. The studio audience would be used as a sounding board to help the network determine the reaction it would get nationally. He told us that Burnett was filthy-mouthed with the audience and obviously dependent upon producers to filter it.
Love the one acting as Truman Capote
Tim Conway
That was the late great Tim Conway portraying Truman Capote.
Fernando López-Amill Gore Vidal has said Truman Capote was a pathological liar. For example, Capote shared publicly a phony story of Vidal having an altercation with Bobby Kennedy inside the White House in 1961. It did not happen the way Capote said it had.
Oh damn! I wish I was old enough to know what this was about at the time. I would have been on the floor! I grew to love Carol Burnett soon after. Now I know why. Of course she would use her platform to take stand. Duh, she had designer Bob Mackie! How could she not throw some shade with her comedic genius. Love her!
This was just AWESOME!!! I can't believe I've never seen this before!!! I love CB!!
Carol is a comedic genius. I love that I got to see her growing up.
Here she is.The great CAROL BURNETT doing her Anita Bryant type character.I've thought I've seen every one of her comedy sketches but I've never seen this one.It just goes to show how funny and talented she is.
Absolutely. Her taking a stand makes me love her even more.
OMG.....Carol Burnett savagely trolled the hell out of Anita Bryant!!
And Carol is a loser !
@@MeadeSkeltonMusicSo you supported Anita Bryant and Fred Phelps dehumanizing gay people. You probably thought that homosexual people shouldn’t have any rights, are subhuman, and are meant to be discriminated against. Ironically, Anita Bryant and Fred Phelps said They did all that out of love. Trying to take away peoples freedom is not something you would do out of love. It’s called liberty and justice for all. Either we all have the same rights, or none of us do.
@@NerdNest83 before I was alive but they were ahead of their time.. Everything Anita warned us about came true!
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Probably feel the same about Fred Phelps, too. Why do you people want to make it legal to discriminate against gays? You probably believe in the old stereotypes that homosexual=pedophile.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusicI smell a Bible thumping pedo
As you can tell by her dress, carol burnett has drag queen friends as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was a Bob Mackey creation
@@nickwheeler5396 Every piece of clothing on her show is Mackie or approved by him.
She is a goddess!!!!
Talk about in your FACE to Anita Bryant ! LOL - Carol ROCKS
@@devinpeirce7152 shit up
Grew up watching Carol Burnett with my parents in the 70s, we never missed it. A comedian perhaps, but multi talented. Carol Burnett could sing!
Just drinking orange juice from a jug...... honestly mood “I just love queens” big up to the gays 👌🏻👂🏻🧡
I love the way she knocks it back. Something tells me it's not just orange juice, its a screwdriver!
Can't believe I've never seen this before. Awesome.
Love Carol
Burnett. This skit was was great!
Somethings missed on this impersonation... Oh yeah, right... The pie on her face
Love this❤️❤️
How brilliant. Really rubbing it in and being super silly at the same time!
I’m so glad she did this. ♥️
Was that Tim Conway as Truman Capote? Anyone know the original airdate?
Unfortunately....
I thought he was dressed up as Elton John :)
Back when you had to use code language to stand up for marginalized people, and she did it when even that was dangerous. I'd like to say that we've come very far since then but recent events have me wondering otherwise.
Freedom wins, homophobia loses.
Carol has a great voice
She does not. Anita can sing circles around her. I'm not surprised considering though that Carol B was probably a carpet cleaner- she was probably one of those too.
Carol Burnett, my hero!!
Oh, A QQueen! I Love Queens!
I had forgotten that she did this. Bryant was a DISPICABLE EXCUSE FOR A "CHRISTIAN." SHE represented everything Christianity doesn't. EVEN her husband had enough of her and divorced her. Later, she would say, "It wasn't much of a marriage to begin with!" Then, she admitted she cheated on her husband as well ! CAROL, YOU'RE GREAT !You made BRYANT look better than she was ! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊
Awesome
Carol..
Always a Treasure !!
This is why I love Carroll Burnett
and this is why I just lost respect for her
Meade Music dude she’s a comedian. She makes fun of people. It’s what she does.
@@bicuriousdirtbikeboi2594 I know. But it just seemed kind of cheap low shot , since Anita was a target of many people during that time.
@Russell Haney I just think it was a cheap, easy shot. Anita was a lovely and talented and beautiful woman who could have been my own mother . And she got a pie thrown in her face just for trying to protect our children.
@Russell Haney no, Anita spoke the truth.
this is my first time ever seeing this. But i've heard abt Anita Bryant from my mom, & for a moment, i was kinda anticipating someone just randomly running up & slamming a pie in Carol/Anita's face LOL
Kind of wish someone would do that to Ron DeSantis'.
love it!
This is brilliantly written.
I had no idea she could sing like that.
What a brilliant skit!
Does anyone know the date this skit originally aired or at least the exact year?
Likely the final season of her original series...1977-78
Beautiful!!!
Thank You Carol
Carol Burnett is a true champion....thank you for this video....I never saw it before.
Does anyone know the air date of this episode? 1977? Prior to the Pie in the face incident?
Tim Conway (doing a parody of Truman Capote here) was a known conservative. His son, Tim Conway Jr., who has a radio show in Los Angeles, was a BIG supporter of Trump. I wonder what Conway Senior thought of the LGBT community.
FABULOUS
I swear, there must be something in the orange juice.
Mindenketten jó énekesek!
And that is why she is the queen 👸
Brilliant parody but risky, naaaa. Love the Truman Capote. A great parody has nuance, and doesn't beat its audience with a dead fish. Las Vegas has nothing on Hollywood.
I never saw this, I always loved Carol Burnett and her show. I had a friend that worked with Bob Mackie, who worked on the Carol Burnett Show, I wonder if he influenced her decision to do this great skit.
She sings better than Anita
No she doesn't . Anita had a beautiful Contralto voice, much like Patsy Cline. No one could compare to Anita.
Anita Bo's a bit
Carol is a total joke.
She's is so funny!
Awesome Carol and gang. Very gay 👍🏻 🏳️🌈
Good!
Bright and gay! 💜🌈💜
ADORE HER!!!!!
Who was the guy that said "I'll never tell?"
Looks like Tim Conway.
What's a Tim Conway?
About 120 pounds.
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing!
No, it's trash. Anita Bryant was a brave and wonderful woman with an angelic voice who spoke the truth . Carol Burnette is hokey comedy at best.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic If justifying and disseminating virulent, rabid homophobia through the exploitation and perversion of biblical scripture is a "truth" you embrace - I will pray for you, just as I have for Anita.
@Johnny Rocket The only "cancer" infiltrating (and eroding the moral fabric of) our society is your irrational hatred for, baseless fear toward, and unadulterated ignorance about, human beings. Moreover, your last sentence reflects your delusional and decayed state of mind that anyone with half a brain will recognize. Get help.
@Johnny Rocket Romans is a letter written by the apostle Paul, not G_d, at a time in very early christianity where Roman christians had abandoned the faith and took to worshipping the pagan Roman deities that everyone else around them were. To worship the goddess Venus they would perform ritualistic sexual acts in the temple. Romans has nothing to do with loving relationships between adults, rather wantonness and idolatry. If you are going to tout a letter written two thousand years ago, then some context is required!!
Johnny Rocket God did not write that! God did not write the Bible. Man did. And if you believe everything a book says that has been translated and dissected no telling how many times, your a fool.
Savage!
What's up with the bad audio?
@feastoffun Looks like someone took a camera and pointed it at their computer screen and recorded it that way.
Carol is more Anita than anita
I really can't understand the words
😁
Republican Party since 1964.
Terrible quality. Why do people try and shoot videos off a tv screen? Then to top ot off they turn the fan on in the background.
OMG! I wish I could of seen AB, watch this episode. It would of been GOLD! GOD BLESS CAROL!!!
God bless Anita Bryant.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic got hates liars
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic heard you sing „Nobody wants me, nobody needs me“.
Stopped listening after that. Nice voice! As for the first two sentences of the lyrics... you might be right.😉
Anita Bryant is gorgeous! A Miss Oklahoma beauty Queen and absolutely brilliant. Carol's deviant humor is Satanic of course.
There's a place in hell for Anita Bryant but God has reserved the whole goddamn Plaza Hotel in Heaven for Carol Burnett.
I don't want her to go to hell. But it would be cool if she was housed in some gay district in heaven, let her see how it feels to be in the minority.
Anita Bryant was a brave lady who spoke the truth. Everything she warned about has come true!
can't effin hear it
wow - all the homophobes are alive and well on CZcams.

Pathetic Anita Bryant was pathetic homophobic religious net that's pathetic I'm glad she put her in her place
*Jesus had NOTHING to say about homosexuality. He did, however, call people like Anita Bryant, who divorce and remarry (without infidelity being the cause) adulterers. Now, what's the Biblical penalty for adulterers?*
Not really. Jesus said a man should leave his mother and family and cleave to his WIFE, not his husband. Also, he said many things that were not even in the Bible. We know what God says about it. Also divorce is not a sin if two people are unequally yolked.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic What's the Biblical penalty for adultery?
@@golden-63 Jesus paid it all
According ot Dantes Inferno adulterers go to the 2nd Circle of hell - Because sinners in the Second Circle are guilty of the incontinent sin of lust, they're doomed to be caught up in and whipped around for eternity in the cyclones of wind. Now imagine Ms. Bryant there. ;-)
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic she married in the church. The non believer must divorce for it to be ok. 1cor 7:11-15

She was sitting with Ellen Degenerous and her wife at golden globe awards when Ricky Gervais said Hellow all you perverts...
Anita was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.
Agreed. It may be argued that Anita was one of the early victims of Hollywood Cancel Culture. You either throw out your Bible and tow the line, or they will turn you into a nonperson!
It is truly sad and disappointing to see Carol piling on to those who are not allowing Anita to follow her sincerely held religion.
Absolutely!
but a very ugly heart.
Go ahead Carol !!
Burnett's singing was grating on the nerves, on the other hand Anita's voice was lovely and soothing.

You're such a liar.
Last I saw Miss Anita Bryant she was dancing around with a ridiculous red, white, and blue, Indian headdress singing “Oklahoma” backed by what sounded like a high school band, under a white tent.
Anita Bryant: A pathetic parody of herself admitting to now drinking Florida orange juice, because gosh darn it , she doesn’t carry a grudge.
Ah, America. What a great place...
You can change the system but you can not change your d n a. Ja ja ja
Nothing risky about this skit. There was a non - stop assault on Anita Bryant by the entertainment and pop culture establishment at the time. These so called tolerant people were hell bent on destroying her career, and they succeeded.
"people were hell bent on destroying her career, and they succeeded." And well deserved I would say.
Where’s your compassion Rich? I’m a gay man, I can only imagine what my life would of been like then, and things have a long way left to go today for an equal life. I’m so glad your privilege of not walking in my shoes prevents you from being hurt by Anita’s actions and teachings.
@@ah7910 very well said. I was lucky enough to have been born and raised in the Netherlands, back then one of the most tolerant countries in the world. But even we had to endure her and her kind.
Things got really nasty sometimes especially when AIDS came up and nobody knew what was happening.
We still have a long way to go but be grateful you don’t live in Eastern Europe (I sure hope you don’t) because there you can witness the same awful nastiness she spouted. Only this time it‘s instigated by governments and the church.
The woman was pure evil and I'll tell you it would be a pie in the face she would have got for me my fist would have been in the end of it
Good. Bryant was a pig.
Not happy I saw this skit from Carol. Her parodies are always good matured. This one wasn't.
It was on point and funny as hell get a grip
You'll live
Do the ill-natured actually deserve good-natured fun? And it's pretty subtle, really.
NOT FUNNY!
I would just love to pronounce Judgment on Carol Bernet. I call destruction on your health and finances. How do you like those oranges?
she's doing fine
The books aren't opened yet. Carol Bernet may live a long wonderfull life but then comes Gods Judgment. Bernet got her 15 minutes of fame at Aneta Bryan's expense. Bryant did what was right yet Bernet attacked her because her own deeds are wicked continually. Misery loves company so does sin. Bryant will go on to great blessings while Carol Barnet will go into what, you can answer that.
