Telling the truth about why he would demean himself by dressing in drag. Dave Chappelle told us thats how they humiliate men. He refused and was blackballed.
Good God I miss TV from 1960 -90. 70s was best - Perry Mason, Marcus Welby, Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Little House on the Prairie, CHIPs, Murder She Wrote, Matlock, MASH, and on and on and on. I could laugh and cry and not feel guilty. US TV today is all propaganda, nasty, crude, and dumbed down.
I clearly remember that my friends and myself would watch the “Dallas” episode every Friday night before going to the club to party. We’d have a “cocktail” along with “Sue Ellen”. For the final episode “Who Shot JR” ? You could have told us the men of all our dreams was only going to be at the club for the during of the “Dallas” episode and we would have said “What a drag. Oh well”. Poured another glass of wine and/or champagne and watched the show. There was NOTHING on the planet that was going to keep us from watching that last episode. Oh simpler times.
Oh I know! I don’t watch this crap they force down our throats nowadays, and I used to write for TV. Thank God for streaming channels where we can go back to real humor. Comedy in the 70s, for instance, was just funny. We watched as a family then. The content of today’s shows make me SMH.
@@lilybond6485 We are so lucky our parents brought us into the world when they did. We got so much joy from the last of simple joys in life. Think of all the things we remember with a smile, but the last couple of past generations missed so much. I had almost forgot about Dallas. I loved Knots Landing. Now TV is all about “unrealistic, fake reality “ TV. I can’t relate.
@@annalanzotti-venrick3989 Loved 😍 FLIP ❤️ And that Geraldine W0W.When she would be talking to Killa and that walk!! I do miss FliP and Geraldine 🕊️❤️🕊️ RIP my friend!
That's what I thought! God this was wonderful just what I needed today. I've already sent this to two people because we all needed to just have some joyful humor that was just so outrageously wonderful. Too too funny.
I used to LOVE watching Flip Wilson!! I’d sit with my Grandfather and watch him every week! I miss watching all of the comedy shows in the 60’s & 70’s!
So true! Back then we had great entertainment where the jokes were so funny it made you cry with laughter. Those were the days of clean entertainment and clean enjoyment.
AMEN PREACH THE TRUTH❣ WHAT HAD TV COME TOO? ITS AWFUL I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO WATCH, IT'S THE SAME THING, MURDER, CRIME, POLICE, BAD PEOPLE... ON TOP OF THAT, WE WATCHED TV 30 YEARS AGO, BRINGING BACK THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN BUT OLDER... WOW THIS HAS TO STOP! GET BRAND NEW STUFF, WITH BRAND NEW PEOPLE, AND I DON'T MEAN KIDS.. MATURE ADULTS... JEEZE
I'm 83 years old -- I remember when Flip Wilson made the concept of Black Comedy a bit more socially acceptable. Seeing him on stage with Richard Pryor was a real treat -- They were masters of humor, and legends of comedy.
When the Dear Wife and I go out, I ALWAYS request "The boof in d'back, in d'corner, in d'dark." Some people crack up -- others act like they seen a zombie.
You bet. I still remember his show, and "Here comes the Judge!" My father was hysterical. I looked up what happened to him some time ago, and it was sad. He should have had a very long career.
Geraldine was the first drag performance I recall seeing as a child. My mother always laughed at drag performances but my father was worried I'd grow up to do the same. My Judy Garland is spot on.
Yeah she was! "Hey, Fannie...what is your last name?" "Fast, faster and outta sight!!" rofl!! Actress Bhetty Waldron. May she rest in peace! She was also on Good Times, The Jeffersons, she played a hooker on All In The Family and her last role was in CSI: Miami. She played an uncredited nurse. She started the West Palm Beach, Florida, Quest Theater and Institute that promotes dramatic training for black children.
@@FrankiesFancy Thanks for providing that information. She certainly made an impression in all her roles and Fast Fannie, for me, was and will always be her iconic performance.
Wow I watched Flip Wilson back then I don’t remember this one it was hilarious!!🤣🤣 Even Ralph Edwards had good laughs!🤣 Flip Wilson was “Prime Time” variety show back then. Great live entertainment singers performers of the Era!⭐️❤️📺 Rip FW and many others since.🌹
I grew up on Flip Wilson and Geraldine was my favorite character. The skit in which she appeared in a Play Boy bunny like costume and when she crashed the girls' singing group are my favorites.
Hahaha! Now that I think of it no we never did see killer but I always had a mental image of him being some big tough dude about to bust in the door any moment to defend Geraldine 😂😂😂
My first time watching Jerald Deen and it's hilarious 😆 maybe the can show some reruns comedy is comedy a belly full of laughter 🤣 😆 😂 takes the pressure off the ❤
Ralph Edward’s clearly ad libbed that line. Wilson wasn’t pleased but ignored it and did not respond to it. This was the 70s and Geraldine was meant to be a woman and not a drag Queen.
As a little white girl in Southern Illinois, Flip Wilson was my favorite! And now I see he was just as great as I thought he was. Obviously the man liked women a lot, too. And, of course, Geraldine was a favorite.
Seeing Flip Wilson do “Geraldine” was the best part of the show. As a little girl, for some reason I was fascinated by his wig. He looked great dressed as a woman! I loved his mod clothes too!
Quiet as it’s kept, Flip’s Geraldine was the predecessor to Martin Lawrence’s Shenehneh and Jamie Fox’s Wanda, The Ugly Girl and perhaps even Steve Urkell’s Myrtle Urkell! So many laughs with this Geraldine skit. CLASSIC!
I loved his talents, he could give you a belly laugh and brighten a dark time. So many of us would like to say a belated thank you, you gave of yourself endlessly and I truly say thank you sir.
This man was a prize! We laughed so hard whenever we watched him.. Such talent ..wonder if he’d be ‘cancelled’ today for his humor.. Everyone today finds something to attack and remove the ability for us to laugh at ourselves.
@@zulaikagould9230 yep I all most got fired for saying something I said 40 years a go Kids are sensitive now a days. They need to grow up and have fun like we did.
I got made fun of all the time and we thought it was funny. I was asked what an Italians car tire sounded like when it went flat? It goes "wop wop wop wop" and I was called "lasagna" big deal lol We knew how to take a joke etc. Not today...wow.
So, as a little girl growing up on the east side of Detroit in the 1970s, I loved variety shows. And my dad loved Flip Wilson, the Smothers Brothers, and Laugh-In, all of which I was allowed to watch (I was only 3 I think, though, when the SB got cancelled). I loved Geraldine, the way she dressed, the way she acted - she was a role model. I mean at that age, I didn't know what racism was because I treated everyone the same. My folks didn't tell me to hate black people, and they had prejudices themselves - but they never pushed them on me. I still have my dad's copy of "Cowboys and Colored People" and my son loves it.
Wow !! You were little then! I was in high school and faithfully watched Flip Wilson and the Smothers Brothers. My dad loved all of the shows you mentioned.
I sometimes got to watch Laugh In when I was a little kid - even though it was past my bedtime - they screened it on Australian TV. I loved the German Soldier and Goldie (of course) “Sock it to me!”
back in the early 70's I was bearly a teenager and Flip would stay at his brothers house who was my next door neighbor in San Jose, CA when he was not making tv shows. Flip and my mother were good friends and Flip would have lunches and dinners at my house. Flip was a real nice man, and we enjoyed each other company. Togther we would sit on the front or back porch and talk, tell stories. My mom would sometimes call out the back door Geraldine, its supper time !
Just look at Geraldine's dress, it's so colorful it speaks for itself, and what about that purse; Flip knows how to make a fashion statement. Attention everybody!
Flip Wilson’s Geraldine character is a GOLD MINE. I’m really surprised some comedienne hasn’t picked up on that character or something close to it. It’s just out there in the Universe waiting to be revived from the dead. No disrespect to Flip Wilson.
@@klptravel1 I can see some echoes of Geraldine in Madea. Got to have been some influence from the great Flip Wilson on Perry’s career & characters #respect
Hi there 🙂🌻✌️...I never missed an episode of 'The Flip Wilson Show' ..a very funny man .. I miss him greatly.. . Loved every second watching🙂❤️😍😃..just my humble opinion...Geraldine belongs to Flip Wilson ...👠👒🛍️💅👜💄👗 and only Flip Wilson... He is the original creator of that character 😄.. nobody else would or could do that character Justice like Flip 😄😅😂🤣..😍😘🙏 🕯️🌹. Let Geraldine Rest with him... please...👍👍
J Mason: Yes. You are right. NOBODY could take on the Geraldine Jones character. That definitely belongs only to Flip Wilson. I was thinking of another Geraldine “type” character but I guess Tyler Perry took care of that with his Madea character.
@Kayla: You are right. The one difference between the Geraldine character and Madea is that often I forget that Madea is really Tyler Perry. 😂 Like Madea is really a woman.😂😂
Long before Wanda and Madea, there was Geraldine...
Flip was a comedy genius so way ahead of his time. We watched his show every single week and here 50 years later he still makes me laugh.
Richard Pryor AND GERALDINE. It’s almost too much to take. 😂😂😂😂 If Fred Sanford shows up I’m going to have to be hospitalized. 😂😂😂😂
😃
🤣🤣🤣
That would have been the trifecta of comedy! ❤❤😂😂😂
Wish I could see the fur fly if Geraldine ever met Archie Bunker!😜
And Aunt Esther.
Flip Wilson is WEARING those boots!!! And they are made for walking😂😂😂😂
There are not enough words for how brilliant Flip Wilson was.
(And holy crap, Geraldine's outfit is legit spectacular! 😍)
So secure in his masculinity that he could pull all the stops as Geraldine Jones.
He was a closet drag queen
Geraldine was adorable... 😘😂😂🤣🤣🤣😚☺️🙂🤗🤗🤗
@@kf1000 Closet? he sure looks out in the open to me😂😂😂
She is my favorite. I have a series of flip
So yes one of favorite s
@@a-train3503 Ignore the trolls. After all this time I never understood why people never do the same.
Remember how we laughed at Flip Wilson as Geraldine?
How this is actually funny and we knew this was acting?
“The devil made me do it.”

Here come da judge!

Telling the truth about why he would demean himself by dressing in drag. Dave Chappelle told us thats how they humiliate men. He refused and was blackballed.

50 years later and still hilarious.
I remember when I was about 4 watching The Flip Wilson Show,that was back when T.V was good from the 70,s to the 80,s when Television shows were good!
I was very young too. The clips are cool.
I was 4 too watching this! Lol

"in the booth, in the back, in the corner, in the dark." Loved Flip Wilson!
Ohh that's right!
"You should have left before her husband got there". Lol. " You better watch it Joe'. Lol
Love when Geraldine said I wasn’t the brightest kid in the class I was the darkest haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Good humour .

I’m smiling so hard my face hurts.
I adored Flip Wilson but can we just talk about that purse!! Gimme!!! 😜
I was admiring that purse, would love to have it.
Yassssss
I absolutely loved flip Wilson loved his show he was so funny and I love Geraldine
"Yeah? What " Only Richard Pryor could make those two words funny as hell. R.I.P. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Pryor.
I loved both of them too!
Now THIS brings backs some fond childhood memories. My father loved Flip Wilson and Soul Train.
It was cool that Ralph Edwards starred in this spoof of his own show!!!
Flip took the Milton Berle shtick to a whole another level and dominated that style of comedy! Geraldine was the most outstanding part of Flip's show!
their will never be another Flip!!he was a genius
Geraldine was the first drag performance I recall seeing as a child. My mother always laughed at drag performances but my father was worried I'd grow up to do the same. My Judy Garland is spot on.
Flip was hilarious and so ahead of his time
That's back when a man in drag was funny.
😂🎯💯💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@Nancy Longworth it's still funny , you just like to hate
@Nancy Longworth see it
My mom still loves Flip. I love all the old shows, comedies. When things were more normal, and people had a sense of humor.
Geraldine: " Fletcher, I told you no now, and I told you no then. But I do admire your taste." Flip is the greatest 😆😅😂🤣
I miss TV like this this was good TV Flip Wilson playing Geraldine priceless.
I used to love Flip Wilson. Watched every show. We need someone like him now.
I Agree
He would be cancelled in a heartbeat ion this woke culture!😢😢
@lonestar1637 sadly he probably would be. The right has no sense of humor. And no idea what woke actually means.
Well, you can watch closet case Tyler Perry.
Oh Geraldine you’re too much. And I love every bit of it.😍👏🤗
Yessss AWESOME
My family and I watched "The Flip Wilson Show" every week, and everything he did was hilarious. I bet the angels are laughing too.
Who was the man, Uh, Grandma?
Loved Geraldine. Flip Wilson was a true comedy genius.
You have to stay up and watch this!
Dont forget her boyfriend Killer
LONG BEFORE MADEA THERE WAS GERALDINE.
I agree 💯
Hahaha! The church of what's happening now. It kills me 😂😂😂😂😂
He was amazing and funny and just wonderful to hear comedy without the f word!!!
FLIP WILSON was a SUPERB GREAT COMEDIAN. I loved his comedy show. He was truly great. Amazing.
Grandma was Fast Fannie from Sanford and Son.

Back when people knew if you dressed like a girl you were just kidding. Richard and Flip rocked! RIP guys...and of course Geraldine.
