Exactly! Americans speak only English, meanwhile a lot of us Latinos speak, read, write 2+ more languages + have a Degree and they think we are ignorant because of our accent!
2:31 en ese momento hay pocas risas ya que solo rieron los que sabian español y veian el programa. 2:50 alli hay mas risas ya que explican en inglés que ella dijo que tenia mucha grasa ja ja ja .
Lucy got me thru stressful family life. Thank the Lord for the great humor in THIS show! My parents were like these two in temperament & looks. Ethel looked much like my aunt, but not as business-like.
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.
That doesn't really happen unless they live close to his family and friends. Lucy would have heard it more often at gatherings. Ricky didn't have family in NYC and his Spanish friends worked for him playing in the club. He spoke Spanish only at work. It's easier for them as a couple to default to speaking English to each other at home. I've been with my husband for 40 years and once we moved out of state away from his family 20 yrs ago my Spanish is terrible now. No practice.
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.
OMG - i remember hearing 'gracias' pronounced that way on a sitcom somewhere, not sure it was I Love Lucy - but i never connected it to 'grassy ass' until i saw it in text here (i just heard an atrocious mispronunciation). You elicited a guffaw delayed by 20+ years from me.
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.
"Latino" is an ethnicity not a race. A Latino can be white, black, mixed, even Asian! Desi was of Spanish ancestry and Spain is in Europe. It was, therefore, an intercultural not interracial couple. That said, I agree that its nice to see interracial couples and people getting along, but Desi and Lucy are not an example.
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.

Little Ricky was adorable and so talented

Little Ricky was sooo cute!
He is not actually Lucy and Desi Arnaz's real son, he is an actor.
@@nandofigueira2005 I KNOW that, that's the character's name.
Is it just my imagination or did they make Lucy look more pale in this episode, to make her look like she doesn’t fit in? 🤷♀️
"Mucha grasa" 😂😂😂
Little Ricky is beyond sweet❤❤❤❤ and the act was brilliant! So adorable❤❤❤❤ God bless him❤
Lucy got me thru stressful family life. Thank the Lord for the great humor in THIS show! My parents were like these two in temperament & looks. Ethel looked much like my aunt, but not as business-like.
Little Ricky is so cute.
Ah the Ricardos go back to Cuba, a rare episode ❤...
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
That doesn't really happen unless they live close to his family and friends. Lucy would have heard it more often at gatherings. Ricky didn't have family in NYC and his Spanish friends worked for him playing in the club. He spoke Spanish only at work.

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 🙏🏻 🙌 😩 😥 😭 😢😢😢😢😢

No way she insult the *KING OF THE HOUSE*

I like her Lucy and Desi make a good couple they have a beautiful family
I bet you that Lucy's husband was French, she would have been fluent in French 100%.
In real life Lucy did have a French name-It was her middle name,and it was Desiree!🥰😇
@@Benito-k6q So what's your point?
@@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.
I loved Lucy's dress in this clip. How adorable!
Very cute.
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?

In the nanny Fran said it like that once
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 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Quite relatable! 😆
Abuela means Grandma. Not mom
True, but he wasn't translating. He was referring specifically to his own mom, his son's grandma.

@@robinrobyn1714He said grandma, not mama. Get your ears checked!
Awwwww the part where Ricky and Little Ricky played the drums was so sweet yet awesome!!
The hispanic guy is puerto rican or cuban or mexican?
@@BluKatDiamond thank you. I tought he was puerto rican.
El actor Desi Arnaz ere cubano.
He was Cuban.
His accent is very different to a Mexican. Irs caribbean accent.
"Como esta usted?" was adorable
I WILL KILL ANYONE WHO LOVES LUCY MORE THAN ME
I LOVE LUCY OH MY GOD I WILL KILL ANYONE WHO LOVES LUCY MORE THAN ME
She was gorgeous. 😀 ❤🧡
Good night doesn’t mean farewell in Spanish?
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 k, thanks.
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.
You're right. I never realized how gorgeous she was until recent years.
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 white
Desi was of Spanish decent. And he was considered white
@@raysand2557That wasn't the point.
🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤rip Ricky and luck
Rest In Peace Lucille Desiree Ball Morton August 6, 1911-April 26, 1989
