Yeah, the name “young fool” is more a spoof of Kung Fu which featured a white guy as a Chinese Kung Fu master when the studio thought Bruce Lee looked too Asian for the audience to accept. Seeing it now might be hard for some people to see but hopefully most of us can enjoy it. Also it seems poking fun at Bonanza/Gunsmoke. In the end it’s all in good humor and the humor is good.
I too miss those days, this was a staple comedy skit show for most households....Silly, clever, subtle, or "in your face" wisecracks, plus a dose of stifled laughs& struggles to regain composure while they interacted...It was perfect😊
"You'll have an orange child." "We'll call him Julius." I remember the popular Orange Julius drink, not sure if it is still a product sold in U.S. Whoever wrote the scripts was a comedic genius, a wordsmith.
Back in 1973, this was the sketch that introduced me to the Carol Burnett Show, at 11 years old. I overheard the Kung Fu parody from my bedroom and I really wanted to see it. My mom let me stay up for the show from then on.
I remember watching this when I was a young teenager, now I am in my mid 50s and compairing what we see on today's comedy, this one still beats all comedy shows of today.
I'm 74 and Mom and I + GOD rest her soul + used to watch Carol's show together every time it was on. Those times were hard for us but Carol and all the other comedies were our windows of happiness.
The Carol Burnett Show was/is a part of my life by way of Television. As a rural farm family we watched her show on vhf and later on uhf. Geez! were these folks funny! Now looking back on the time...Geez these folks are funny!!!! Just great entertainment for and of the time. It still plays very very well!! Thanks to all of you who had a hand in this show!
The Carol Burnett show was hilarious. I remember the part when Jim Nabors asked: “that pond is deep, why didn’t she sink?” Carol Burnett: “Well I never went all the way.” 12 year old me cracked up back in 1973 🤣
I thought Jim Nabors to be so funny then, in my mind I wished they would keep him as a regular, but a country singer's schedule might be too tight at the time. I never understood what he says with that thick accent but it all the more made him funny just looking at people's faces after he talks. Those were really golden comedy times. Sigh....
I grew up with Carol Burnett shows, thank goodness! Original awesome casts and excellent theater art skills and great writers, very professional!! I am so grateful for comedy in these stressful life changes. Thanks again guys!!!
Tim conway was from our area. Still watch these clips since I was a young kid. Love how he always would purposely do something out of the ordinary to get them to have to hold back cracking up right during the skit.
I've tried watching a few of SNL's more recent skits, and I'm sorry to say, but they just don't have the punch that the skits from The Carol Burnett Show do-not even the ones that try to have any sort of "edge" to them.
@ It's been a while since I last saw a classic SNL sketch, but to be honest, if I ever did lay eyes on one, I've no doubt that it'd be at least ONE degree funnier than SNL's more modern material. I don't even blame the performers themselves, really-not as much as I do the show's writers, at least. Maybe it's just me, but I swear that outside of their tired old go-to (i.e., the political stuff), they seem to try WAY too hard to come up with anything to make jokes about or tell an even MILDLY interesting story with. I doubt that even Eddie Murphy, Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase, and the like could do anything to make such material worthwhile.
And that was pointed out because? What's with the need for people commenting to makevus know how 'morally superior' they feel because Carol's comedy is 'clean'? And please list the 3 major networks (I don't count Nazi run propoganda Faux as one) comedies that aren't. Cable doesn't count.
Can anyone tell me if that's Carol's real hair or a wig at the beginning of the show !!!!???? Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman , Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence and Lyonal Wagner are all geniuses !!!! I watch every skit I can find on CZcams !!!! OVER and over again !!!!
It's not even that. If anything, I'd say that comedy was just that much sharper and more grown-up back then than it's been the past couple of decades. No need to rely on gross-out, "edgy"/blatantly offensive, or any other crass or schlocky style of "humor" to get over with people. Comedians and comedy writers actually used their WITS to make their material work...which it (at least MOSTLY) did.
I'm not so sure asian-americans would find those "asian" characters funny, even back then. The difference is, back then minorities didn't had much of a say on the way they were portrayed, on anything.
@Trust nobody Trustsnuthin "people didn’t whine"...lol, It's like you completely forgot about the Civil Rights movement in the 60's, the Flower Power movement opposing the Vietnam war in the 70's, the Stonewall riots that started the political movements for LGBT rights at the time... among a myriad of other groups complaining back then, including the feminist "sexual revolution" demanding easy access to the pill and the right to abortions; or the Black Panther Party. If you take off your nostalgia goggles you'll see that there were more people complaining and more civil unrest back in the 60's and 70's than there is now. And it's pretty ironic that you're here whining about people whining. Irony clearly is something that goes over your head. As for the video itself, all i said was that i'm not so sure asian-americans would find those "asian" characters funny, even back then. It's not a difficult assumption to make given the fact that there are a lot of old black, asian and gay folk today, saying that many of the idiotic stereotypes about them in movies, tv shows and cartoons, just made them hate themselves when they were younger.

Im Cheerokee and I think this is hilarious.....I hope everybody is laughing.....not meant to stir controversy ....just darn funny...
I'm Asian, and I loved this skit from when I saw it decades ago. It never gets old.

"There is no air in the windmills of your mind". DYING! XD
She always wore the most eye catching and elegant clothes at the beginning of her shows.
All custom made for Carol Burnett by Bob Mackie the Celebrated "Designer of the Stars".

That's a fairly good oxymoron--"young teenager" (considering there are no OLD teenagers) 🤔.
And when you're not whining about the good old days, are you whining because you can't figure out a phone without a rotary dial?
It beats all comedy shows EVER!
@@arjeliomas Could you figure out a phone with a rotary dial? LOL!!!!
Talented grown ups paid to have fun--love it
I love his Gomer Pyle character in this skit.
Refreshing to see comedy as comedy with no ill-intent. Maybe someday we can see sketches like this again and just grade them on the level of fun.
And what comedy do you watch that has 'ill-intent?' WTH?
"Masters do not sleep in side dishes." Words of inspiration indeed.
All of these decades later Carol & her cast are still funny. That's true comedy😂
OF THE BEST KIND!
Why oh why can we not have shows like this to watch on the 100’s of channels we now have?
I do love all the clothing Bob Mackie made! Gowns and costumes wonderful!
that gown is amazing! no doubt.
Though, I think Mackie's greatest masterpiece was his set of gag boobs he made for Carol in "The Flasher" skit.
She was genuine gorgeous then, she didn't need makeup and glitzy stuff and at 85 she still is now!
So true what a Lady....What a role model for women.....she was so forward thinking...
I laughed all of the way through this, much better than anything on television today. God Bless You.
Her clothes are perfect for her body type, she knows how to highlight her tall slim figure and she is absolutely Talented!!!!
I'm 74 and Mom and I + GOD rest her soul + used to watch Carol's show together every time it was on. Those times were hard for us but Carol and all the other comedies were our windows of happiness.
Love Carol's gown at the beginning!
Bob Mackie... designed the clothing for the Carol Burnett shows 4 all the shows seasons... fabulous designer...
*Yeah, but it's old school...*
Bob Mackie did a fabulous with Carol and with Cher's costumes.
DarlingExotica TheUniverse But at least she is wearing it today it is all body and no dress.....and no class.

Carol Burnett Queen of Comedy never surpassed.
Well, almost right; Carol herself has said many, many times that she can never hold a candle to Lucille Ball's comedic talent.
Agreed!
@@jb6712 respectfully disagree. Lucille Ball was ...ok. Many of her gags were stupid. Carol Burnett was the absolute QUEEN of satire.
The accents in this sketch are awesome!
Bald-headed Gomer Pyle better than pigeons on telephone line.
There were only two comedy shows in the 1970s that could get me to laugh heartily : Sanford and Son and The Carol Burnett Show 👍

Jim Nabors was simply a master in his craft. I wish I had the same.
Carols faces she makes are great.
Red Fox double majored in Abnormal Psychology and Business Finance--An interesting combination!

Oh, Jim was so cute! No wonder he was Carol's best friend. I'll bet she misses him terribly.
"He hates no man except one: the man that stood his shoes." LOL

Poca hontas very real in carol burnett excelent actress of comedy and drama and singer.
I sure miss this show
Love how the young Asian lady Harvey was going to kiss almost laughed after the ``hot lentil soup`` line.
Yeah she was a looker.
When she left the stage she probably lost it!
Almost?
I guess she knew how Harvey Korman felt when he worked with Tim Conway.
I'm laughing my a** off and I haven't even seen the beginning scene yet.
"There is no air in the windmills of your mind."
Funniest thing Jim Nabors was ever in.
Carol is the best comedienne ever.
Funny then, funny now. Thank you.
The cast is truly brilliant and entertaining
How were they not full-on GUFFAWING when Jim Neighbors hopped in there? LMAO
Professionals....
This was funny. Loved Jim Nabors' entrance and "Howdy, howdy, howdy!"

Baldwin’s Trump is hilarious.
Some really good gags in this skit. I laughed all the way through. Then watched it again.
12:19-12:43--Vicki's soliloquy is SO TRUE! Great writing and writers!
Carol always came out in the most beautiful dresses
CAROL YKUR SO GORGEOUS AND FUNNY AMAZING WOMAN .....I CANT BELIEVE SHE HAD THREE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN...WOW....😁
Even when these skits made sexual references (which was not often!), Carol and company ALWAYS kept things clean and fun!
And that was pointed out because? What's with the need for people commenting to makevus know how 'morally superior' they feel because Carol's comedy is 'clean'? And please list the 3 major networks (I don't count Nazi run propoganda Faux as one) comedies that aren't. Cable doesn't count.
Well before my time but this show and the honeymooners were great.
10:52 she's trying not to laugh bless her heart
I know, right? I would too if I was in her place!
I saw this show when it was first aired during the time of the "Kung Fu" program. I've never forgotten it.
Fun to see it again. Thanks!
It just pokes fun at everything in the show...even the hot cauldron/armlift thing!
Love the way the Native American is portrayed as having to play down her intelligence in order be given a shit job.
Freakin brilliant!!
I had to look up the Julius Orange reference. Lol 😂
Orange Julius. Horrible drink.
