I mean, the acting in this is top notch. These Family sketches have got to be some of the best TV you’ll ever see.
Carol's show was good theater in our homes once a week.🎊👏
Ya, but kinda disconcerting.
@RangerMan-yv7rl It is very dark, under the surface. Carol once said that during rehearsals with Dame Maggie Smith, they read it straight just for the sake of doing it. She said it was basically horrifying. You're right though. It's very dark.
@@PonderousProse ah Maggie Smith! Another great!
@@RangerMan-yv7rl Absolutely! She's always been a favorite of mine.
Carol and Vicki are national treasures. This has to be one of the funniest skits they did. "In our circles...in our circles...in our circles."
"In our circles, in our circles, in our circles, in our circles..." LOL
Carol Burnett + Madeline Kahn = pure comedy gold!
I wholeheartedly agree!
the real movie was Blazing saddles,,with Harvey Korman no less....
@@niveknanorc7316 Don't forget Young Frankenstein.
And Vicki Lawrence!
@@Kw1161 Its Frahn-kin-shteen 😂
This was my late mother's all time favorite show. She had a rough time in her life. She was widowed at a young age and she couldn't afford to go out for entertainment so she stayed in and of all the shows on TV this is the one she watched religiously. It was her escape from the world for an hour a week. Of course since she was watching it her five children were also watching it. I was the oldest and fairly young so much of the humor was lost on me until later. Now looking back it's one of my favorites as well and every time I watch this show either in re-runs or on the internet like here I am reminded of those evenings so many years ago sitting around our little black and white TV watching this show together. Thank you Carol Burnett!
I too was brought up by a widowed mother in this era and likewise saw this show bring her temporary escape and joy. We had true treasures back then and as life goes on and the world grows less familar, l remain grateful for these memories.
Beautiful story, thank you for sharing.
nunya biznez Lovely memory of your mother. ❤️
What great story YOU write well. Wow. Me TWO with my mom and CHRISTMAS time WAS special.watch an THESE shows. Time GONE bye.
nunya: Those memories are so wonderful to treasure.
The pepperpot playhouse always makes me chuckle.😂
I love how whenever the doorbell rings in these skits, Eunice gets super excited! 😂 “There she is! There she is!”
Carol Burnett is a genius
Absolutely agree!! Is it just me or is Eunice super cute
Eunice is my crazy aunt..
Alex Marshall SHE SEND ROSE'S AFTER SHE WAS GONE 🤝🤝🤝🤝😂🤝🙏✌😑🤗🥥🍎👤
Always yelling at each other. So boring.
@@ronaldevans9043 That's the main attraction to the Eunice character, for years TV sitcoms were always so nice and polite to each other at home, too often at times, too phony,
I would find it refreshing when they started cursing and yelling more often (more funny and normal that way).
God rest the dear soul of the late Actress Madeline Gail Kahn.
September 29,1942-December 3,1999
Gone way to soon!
She was a brilliant and talented actress.
Remember her on sesame street with Grover lol. She was so funny in that clip
Globe 101 my favorite actress!
Just loved her!!!
I have no idea, how Vicki Lawrence could recite her lines and not bust out laughing!
She is loaded with talent.
She’s being excellent!
It had to have taken several takes, lol.
I love Mama's lines: "What kind of smut is this play?" & "Well, you ain't got 3 friends much less 100!" Haha!
Poor Eunice...can't catch a break.
Poor Eunice cut down at every turn! It's a wonder she didn't become a psychopath and do.her whole family in!🤪😡
Miss Kahn sorely missed
"When I talk about this, and I WILL..." XD Madeline Kahn is hilariously savage!
TY I didn't remember who she was. Likely, I didn't see much of her
I was the youngest &my mama would sit with me and watch the Carol Burnett, I’m 53 now!🤣🥰💯
I would give anything to be a kid again and watch a family sketch with both my mom and grandmother! They loved and laughed just as hard as I did over Eunice and Mama lol!!!
Jimmy Dickinson nicely said
me too,a great time in history.
You can: watch a sketch that was one of their favorites, and think of the both of them. Keep an open heart and talk to them as if they are sitting next to you. They will know you're thinking of them :)
Carol and Vickie are AWESOME!
Oh yes, my mom and I used to watch these together and just laugh and laugh.
Not one person ever gave Eunice even a crumb of encouragement, not a second of encouragement.
Yes, that's correct. I guess that's how the writers intended the Eunice character to be treated...
Exactly. These skits are funny and very sadatthe same time.
And that is why she became so angry and bitter. She was expected to sacrifice her life for others. But never got the love and respect she wanted so much.
You realize that this isn’t real, don’t you? It’s make believe.
@tmckenny2994 Good writing, like acting, is about motivation and personal history and is worth analyzing. STFU.
Best line:"When I talk about this, and I will..." Love it!
Madeline Kahn was one of a kind. She was taken from this world far too soon. I loved her in 'Young Frankenstein'. This skit was brilliant! Thank you for sharing.
👏🏻
I read Mel Brooks' book about his life and career and he spoke so highly of Madeline Kahn. He got her to play in Blazing Saddles too.
@@believer7280 History of the World part 1 is another comedic masterpiece with Madeline in it.
Madeline was not old when she played Granny?
Madeline Kahn FOREVER. ❤🙌🏻✨️
I am 25, and I enjoy these skits.
You have good taste. These are awesome!
Now you’re 31. How do you like that
Madeline Kahn was so amazing. Blazing Saddles comes to mind.
It's funny. Eunice is the name of Madeline's character in her first movie What's up Doc?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@@johnkern7075
Don't forget HIGH ANXIETY lol
@@kimberlyhalloran5724 I would never.😃
Young Frankenstein.
Carol and Vicki are amazing. They nailed their performances, and Harry was incredible! Loved Mama's family, I have it on DVD and still enjoy watching it in 2023.😂
Harvey?
There will never be another Madeline Kahn. One of the greatest!
"You fly before me as on wangs." I just love Eunice's flat Texas accent.
Aiber Lane 😂😂😂😂😂
Carol Burnett was born in San Antonio! She'd know a Texas accent!
@@austinl169 but grew up in Calif.
Always loved Carol Burnett and then when I was 27 I saw Madeline Kahn and loved her too. Never knew they'd done anything together so this is a treat - two of America's great comedic talents working in perfect balance, neither one upstaging the other, both delivering first-rate comedy and acting, each enhancing the other's performance. Dang I feel lucky!
The Best "Mama/The Family" shows are the ones with Carol Burnett in them period. Forever.💖😂
Eunice. Eunice. So identifiable. Dreams always just out of reach. And that crazy mother always in her head.
Carol Burnett is brilliant as Eunice
At 15:25, Eunice mentions she got an honorable mention for a - clay ashtray? In the "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" TV program there's an episode of a boys summer camp; almost all the boys were making clay ashtrays, only one of them had any artistic value. Did the teacher feel sorry for Eunice, and this episode is saying Eunice has no art experience at all, that's why Thelma said "So What"?
@@bobbyfrancis8957 No matter what Eunice did, Thelma would denigrate it. Like she mocked Eunice's choice of a husband and then mocked her twice as hard when the marriage failed.
When I said only one of the boys had any artistic value, I meant one of the boys in that episode actually made a human statue. But Eunice has no talent, like all the rest ( maybe her ashtray was neater than the others)?
To be 10 again!! We watched this show every week for years. Mom, dad and the 4 kids. Great memories!!
You know just when Eunice is about to lose it 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂everytime
I really miss shows like this. CLEAN humor- and FUNNY!
Safe humor that does not insult the viewer with smut.
@@vikkinicholson5880 a family of alcoholics Mamas racist and Ed is homophobic..but funny
there are thousands of shows that are clean and funny. you're just not looking.
Idk... there was a lot of racism and sexism in some of the Mama sketches. Everyone was just a lot more ignorant back then 😉
@@moatrboatI'd like to know where.
carol Burnett skits will never stop being funny. I been watching her show and reruns since I was a little girl. My favorite memories are watching Carol Burnette with my Grandmother.
Tion Washington I feel you- even though The Carol Burnett Show was slightly ahead of my time- some of my favorite memories were watching Mama's Family with my grandmother
Watched MTM Show, Bob Newhart and The Carol Burnett Show every Saturday night at my grandparents. The best two hours of television in my life
Burnett
I watched these with my grandma who raised me. Along with the other great shows of the 70s. I was in elementary school for most of these but loved them.
This sketch is brilliantly written and Burnett and Kahn make a wondrous lunch of it. Anyone who has ever done local theater will see the truth of this immediately
Harvey Korman and Madeline Kahn together again!! "Lily, Lily, Lily", that's all I kept hearing! 😂😂
Madeline Kahn was absolutely fantastic!
Donnie Hagy Well said.
Yes..she's brilliant..
Kahn and Louise Lasser are(were) two actress that stole every scene they were in
Loved her in "Paper Moon". And of course, "Blazing Saddles".
@@paintinganimalsonrocks7633 My favorite for her was "Young Frankenstein."
"What kind of smut is this play?" hahahahaha
👍😄😄😄😄😄😂
“Failure’s not so bad. Hell, you still got us.”
I remember my Grandma laughed at that one. I was younger so I asked what was funny, because I was still laughing at the earlier material, she explained why it was said, which made it funnier. Realised our family was in good shape.
Vicki can deliver a line as the pro she is......fantastic comic timing.......Vicki was a diamond plucked from the diamond mine of comics.
"Thank the Lord I saw Joey Heatherton on The Mike Douglas Show last week". Is gold, the writing of this show and her delivery is just pure GOLD! Love, love love Carol and her show always have and always will!
JonR Mang , my favorite line too!
Madeline kahn, what a true classic genius !!! 👍😂😂😂 And with Carol burnett, is there anything better? 👏♥️♥️😂
Always love Madeline Khan. One of the funniest women in comic history
To me she will always be Empress Nympho.
Used to love the Carol Burnett show as a kid, then the spinoff Mama's family as a teen. Glad I found this. Thanks 🙋
Miss laughing out loud thank you carol
We must be around the same age because I've followed Carol the same way through out my life
madeline is seamless in this, her character fits right in with the family. this family is so believable, it's way more than just a skit, you completely buy into the characters and their personalities, brilliantly written by dick clair and jenna mcmahon.
That dress Madeline Kahn was wearing was everything! Lololol "In our circles, In our circles, In our circles!" LOLOLOL😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I know right. That dress was fire..I love the hair too..Gonna find me a wig like that 😅😅😅!
@@Machelle3200 so you can hog the whole show 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jacqueline Adams
IKR? I saw it and thought “WOW,, that looks EXACTLY like something Stevie Nicks would ware!! It’s just gorgeous!
@@Mr.EmeraldTheGreen Yes! Exactly what Stevie Nicks would wear. That's probably why I love it.
madeline kahn's voice is so musical! R.I.P.!
Because she studied to be an opera singer before she made it big in the movies, is why
Mellifluous! 🎶
@@aveuch Great word!!👍🏾
Liked when she sung during an orgasmic period with the Young Frankenstein monster.
@@timothykissinger4883 So true, Timothy! She had one of those absolutely distinctive voices. I remember an old episode of SNL when she was The Bride of Frankenstein and when she woke up from her altered state she sang "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story. It was absolutely hilarious and her voice just ROCKED! So sad that she's no longer with us.
............so I fled back to Raytown where people are real!" LOL! Love mama and her dumbfounded look like "What the hell is this woman on?".
👍😂😂😂😂😂😂
My favorite was when Eunice was on the Gong Show singing Feelings!!🤣🤣
Hello Mary how are you doing... I saw your comment and I decide to stop by and say hi....
Chose the worst possible song
OMGosh, I’d totally forgotten about Eunice on the Gong Show. I remember seeing it originally, not sure what year it was, mid 70s perhaps, it was later in the series because The Family” sketch had been on for awhile, and we knew all the characters really well.
Eunice on The Gong Show was when worlds collide. I really remember so well wondering how the sketch was going to end. Another humiliation of Eunice? Eunice again being the butt of the joke? Or maybe Eunice having, until now, an undiscovered Barbra Streisand vocal quality that finally found its way out? When Eunice started singing horribly a horrible song, completely convinced she DID have a Babs thing going on, gets instantly gonged, and the camera simply closed in on her face, which was a study in total devastation, and didn’t change while the camera either irised out completely, or the spotlight dimmed out, I just remember being so sad for her, and thinking how brave Carol and her crew were to end the scene like that, no gag, no joke, just a very human moment.
“What do you know about direction anyway Miss Cat Woman on Mars?”
“In our circles, in our circles, in our circles, in our CIRCLEEESSSS!!!” 🤣 God bless Madeline Kahn.
RIP Madeline.
I never knew Madeline Khan was on this show. Her charisma is great. Beautiful and an awesome actress.
Eunice wore that same dress, and those white sandle shoes, 😂!!! 💓
That horrible floral dress in fall colors. I hoped one day to see her in something else but she was like a cartoon character that lived in the same costume or Matlock in the same grey suit.
So funny, Mama sitting there drinking her beer in the role of the queen. She didn't give a hoot.
She sure didn't, Mama kept it real. Lolol
Just like my grandma (r.i.p. Elizabeth)🙏
Dont forget the rolled down knee hi stockings.LOL!!
@@mona-lisa1187 hyped
Huh?
Carol Burnett is such a great actress, she can play a bad actress really well. 😃💚📺

Timelessmusic yygygyyggy
Timelessmusic Familymusic
Timelessmusic Familymusic RIGHT?😂😂😂
You need to be good at what you do to know how to be so bad people laugh at it.
Carol, you are truly the greatest entertainer. And one of my heroes. Thank you for your excellence. Anybody on this earth who dares to be funny owes a debt to you. I love your work, Lady. "You fly before me as on wings ..."
+Jonathan Kieran She's great.
funny big neck transginger!
The way Carol acts awkward as if gawky like burlesque sometimes is classic. M the classless family in posh resto so loud till they were thrown out! Lol. The dumbo secretary with Harvey Korman.
What's so sad is that this is possibly the best ending for Eunice in all the Family skits.
That's true!
Love Madeline Kahn - what a legend
😍👏
Madeline Kahn was a crazy lady with classy talent.....
Yas! Comedy Queens" carol & madeline"💥
She wasn’t crazy. She was a professional through and through. She knew exactly what she was doing. Now, Liza...who I adore...now there was crazy.
All kinds of crazy !!!😄😅😆
13:10 "is that the way your going to do that?" "i've had just about enough out of you old lady!" too damn funny!....
What makes this more awesome is that this sketch includes Harvey Korman and Madeline Kahn, who are BOTH regulars in Mel Brooks films. Makes me wish that Mel himself had guest starred on the Carol Burnett show. The funny meter would have gone off the charts.
Kahn's voice sounds just like Glenda from the Wizard of Oz.
When I was a 20 year old loved to watch The Family Skits on Carol Burnette !! It made me laugh during my abuse from my Dad and the neighbors and bad people in my life Ive always turned to humor to get through my problems !!
Same here.
So sorry, Sis!
BRILLIANT!!!!! Eunice is surrounded by Narcissists
Birds of a feather flock together.
I loved the Carol Burnett Show! Stupendous!
I had no idea Madeline Kahn was so very tiny, her presence fills every screen.
I love this one so much. In 1981 I tried out my directing chops in college by bringing this particular sketch to the stage. Except on the TV I had "Family Feud" instead of "Bowlin' for Dollars" because that's actually what was on! It was open for one lunch time matinee performance, fond memories.
"Could we get through this just *once*, please?" 😂
lol
Madeline Kahn...What an underrated actress...
Yes........... Indeed. Loved her in Clue
"Flames... on the side of my face..."
That's who that is. Couldn't remember her name.
supremetaco...LOL...My 13 year old son and myself love that movie.
Clue 🎥
Kahn was not underrated. On the contrary.
That was great! I sure do miss Madeline! She was one of my top favorite comedic actresses of all time.😍😂👍
👏🎉👏😍⭐
I love this show so much. I don't know why it makes me laugh. 😂😂😂
Hello Caleb how are you doing... I saw your comment and I decide to stop by and say hi...
Mavis looks like she's going to a disco. lol
Another gem from Carol & Co. Wonderful!!
Hello Darlene how are you doing... I saw your comment and I decide to stop by and say hi...
Seriously they need to release a DVD/BLU-RAY of all the The Family skits on one disc!
Roger MAN- that would be awesome
@@laalaag2auntyayag776 They never will because they won't sell the rest of the series on DVD. This is some of the best they did. But I'd love it too.
The entire show is in a 7 dvd series on ebay (Mamas Family)
Awww...finally some support from Mama at the end
Yeah, right before she digs in the knife!
🤣🤣🤣🤣a back handed support 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That look on Eunice's face at the end spoke volumes.
I know. Have you seen the TV movie Eunice? I have a different perspective now
I just loved the Carol Burnett show. Mama's Family and Mrs~a ~Wiggins and Mr. Tudball were my absolute two favorites.
elephant
Eunie always had the best refrigerators.
and always stocked with cold cans of beer.
@@vikkinicholson5880I remember a member of the audience asked her if there was actually beer in those cans. Carol Burnett told them that anything that was supposed to be beer or a dark liquor was tea.
I enjoy Carol Burnett Show so much!
@@greenthumbmary5970 makes no sense. For many retakes made any liquors need to be tea. Or actors would get drunk!
Typo. I meant to say ' Makes more sense'
I love Carol's laugh 😄 7:04
RIP Madeline Kahn and Harvey Korman, former costars of "Blazing Saddles". Two very talented comedians.
I recall in the Carol Burnett Show, Harvey was all slicked up looking very hansem playing a Sea Captain. Carol played a dame all over Harvey's character. He picked her up n dropped her into the sea! Lolol 😂
@@RangerMan-yv7rlWhenever Tim Conway was on it was golden. Not that they weren't great without him, but his episodes are among the funniest TV I've ever seen. He was always trying to get Harvey to laugh (and usually succeeding!)
I was in love w/this show when I was only about 5 years old. It was already off the air by then. My parents couldn't understand why such a little kid enjoyed this kind of show but I was glued to the t. v. Welcome back Kotter, Maude and All in the Family were gold! I miss those days😢
This is one of my favorite shows ! It will always be on my top 5 also the golden girls is on my top 5 . Excellent acting and really funny
Mama: "Oh no hell no! Anythings better than moving these little doojiggers around here!" ROFL! Wish we had shows like this again.
I love how Eunice has the hairstyle and dress from the 1940's😆😆😆
Madeline Kahn.. brilliant!!!!! Love her!!!
RIP Sweet girl.
Thank you Carol Burnett!
Mama: *"Poor baby. She's failed again".* 😂 Madeline Khan also had me laughing so hard. R.I.P.
That was one of the funniest lines in this skit.
Madeline Kahn. I loved her back in the day.
I went to Madeline Kahn s house in Atlanta in the 80s. She was such a cute little lady with loads of talent.
Voted one of the 100 best shows. I would say it was one if the top 10 best shows, if not top 5.
Damn. Back then there were 100 shows? I guess were spoiled crazy in this millennium. Come on 2021.
"Aw, now, shut up, Ed! Can't you see Eunice is upset?! Poor baby, she's failed again." 😁😄
Thank you, Carol Burnett, for making me laugh during coronavirus. I hope you're reading these comments.
All of them are so wonderful and loved by us all and the show is so wonderful and very funny.
I knew it was Madeline! There’s no mistaking that voice!
I actually can't stand her voice ....
Mavis crosses her legs BEFORE she sits down and Eunice immediately imitates her 🤣🤣🤣
I only just noticed that since you pointed it out 😂
@@francinejones2524 It's such a great little piece of character work. Eunice emulating her idol. So good.
I remember Campbell's Pepperpot Soup.
I don't think they make it anymore. It was discontinued in 2010.
Just loved the FAMILY ! So very FUNNY yet So Very SAD! Carol was pure Genius
I laugh every time I hear The Pepperpot Playhouse.
So much greatness on that stage. It's wonderful!
Good shows
Loved watching this as a kid. Madeline Kahn was amazing. I miss her.
Mama: 'anythings better than moving these little do-jiggers around.
The Eunice sketches were always my favorite. This one especially. Madeline Kahn was a comedic treasure.
17:55 "Poor baby, she's failed again."
Carol Burnett. May we never lose her
Thanks to her show, we never will.
I grew up watching this show..still love it to this day😊
