These guys were the best! I was 14 or 15 when I watched them back in the ‘60s. Watching them now I can appreciate how good they really were. Their timing was impeccable, they had real class, their material was great, and above all, they gave you that “feel good feeling”. RIP Tommy Smothers. You will be missed.

I now am addicted to watching these videos every night before I go to bed. A week ago my wife died and I find the SMOTHERS BROTHERS comedy routine so soothing as it eases my grief somehow. Thank you Tom and Dick. Their last song here reminds me of my truth song video at my channel called POLITICIANS too.
I can't imagine such a loss. I'm so very sorry. I hope you have been able to find some brief bits of happiness, and that you continue to heal, the best you can😢
Truly! My parents loved the Smothers Brothers, I'm a 60's kid and loved the Smothers Brothers, my kids 3 generation X's love the Smother Brothers. That is awesome!
Rest in Peace and Love Forever TOMMY! December 26th 2023 you passed away. Thanks for all you two gave my generation Mr Yoyo Man! Also now as an adult I just realized that is a Beautiful Guild Guitar that Tommy is playing! 🕊❤ 💫🕯🎶🙏🏻
@@williamhiles7404 Yes Beautiful Guitars. Huge voices! I'm glad as an adult now I recognized that Guild guitar he was playing. This is after owning one. Plus being in love with a singer songwriter who played one when we were busking and travelling around in my mobile home schoolbus. Now to FULL CIRCLE watching these old clips I saw originally played on TV, and see now I was sublimely attracted to these guitars from way back when I was just a young girl. I also realize now They and their guests, really influenced my life in several subtle ways. Bless The Smothers Brothers for the way they stood up and took one for the Team as they Spoke out to us, when they had a National Platform to speak out against the War and the Politicians. They were finally redeemed with that hilarious 20th anniversary show on CBS making fun of them being canceled was BRILLIANT! Anyway feel old as all our childhood heroes are all passing away. Plus yesterday our 17 year old ginger cat Hawkeye/ Teddy passed away too. It's been a very sad week and now weekend. Anyway thanks for the details of the Guild Tommy played. May Tommy rest in Peace and Love knowing he has influenced an entire generation. 🕊💞 💫🎶 🧿 🙏🏻
@katherinehunter9526 yeah, it's pretty cool. I myself prefer Gibsons, like my 1950 Gibson ES-125 hollow body archtop. I would like to find a Gibson J-200 like the Everlys had. Rock On. LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
It’s funny because the last month or so I’ve been thinking a lot about you both ,Dicky, I’ve lost all three of my Brothers and it’s horrible , but we did not have the camaraderie, spending the time with each other as you guys have all these years, I just can’t tell you how sorry I am and how much we’ll miss him, when ever I think about The Smothers Brothers I’ll always smile.
OMG! The Smothers Brothers were a part of my teen years. I loved them for their wonderful comedic sense. I listen to them today and am bowled over by the purity of their voices and simplicity of style which I had no awareness of at the time. No glitz, no pyrotechnics. Just 2 instruments and 2 beautiful voices which blend so beautifully. And astonishing talent.
You don't know what you have till it's gone. Tom Smothers was a one of a kind. Grateful that my life was blessed with the opportunity to enjoy his talent.
I grew up watching vhs recordings of these guys as a kid in the 90s and thought they were hilarious... Now that I'm grown and watching them again, they're even funnier because I can appreciate the jokes that much more. Love the brothers Smothers.
The political issues of today haven't changed a lot . But the Smother's Brothers ..... at that time , with their Humor , and their talent . So in tune with the issues !!! (Please ! Keep bringing 'back the future' ) ...... Those of you who may remember ... They were cut off the air and "fired" during the President Johnson administration .... for their political "Humor" .......
I am so glad I found these two here. I’ve loved them since they were first on Glenn Campbell’s show(right?). So upset when CBS took them off tv. I’d love to know what they would think of our political world today. They would know what to say!!! Thanks
Actually, the original Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1967-1969 gave a lot of performers their start, including Glen Campbell. Then, when CBS cancelled the Smothers' show, Glen Campbell returned the favor and invited them as guests on his show.
I loved the Smothets Brothers comedy show. Politics removed them from network TV but didn't silence counter culture criticism . We need those brave articulate entertainers to speak out today. Thank you, Tom and Dick. You are missed.
And you know what these guys mostly talked about in their acts and music? Americanism. Even though they were obviously liberals. Americanism. Back when it was cool to do so. I weep for those times to return again but fear they never shall. Thank you boys, you're wonderful and talented and funny and above all. American.
They were both idealists about what America could be, yet not naive enough to believe America to be beyond criticism, or incapable/unneeding of improvement. The only thing that has changed is the framing and not even really that. The brothers criticized Vietnam because it was blatantly wrong and very American to speak up and do so. Now speaking up and out against injustice is simply framed as unAmerican. The passions and tactics never changed, only the perspectives of them.
👍🏻 Great guys! I like Tom's mischievous facial expressions and lecturing Dick. There are lots of funny "less-ons" for "mor-ons" and for "none-pilots". 🤭
I am so happy to see the Smothers Brothers again! Thank you so much for sharing these precious performances! I was very ill between the ages of13 & 15! My mother felt that laughter was the best medicine so she would bring me all the Smothers Brothers albums ,along with the Allen Sherman albums! Also, this was when the first "Smothers Brothers Show" was aired ( where Tom was an angel)! We laughed & laughed & that is how I got well! The "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" got me through High school! In the early 90's,I finally saw them in person & met them after the show! Between these 2guys Allen Sherman & ( of course, Elvis Presley) I learned that laughter & music are valuable things & we should never be without them! Thanks for bringing these great shows back ! I have been only able to find 2 seasons of the "Smothers Brothers Comedy" Hour on dvd but , I have all the albums & the CDs!
@@GBS1043 No, after the Brothers were fired in 1969, CBS rehired them to do a 20 year reunion show in February 1988 & when that hour special did well, CBS hired them for several more shows which ended in 1989.
I remember watching that series, it was probably the last variety show now that I think about it. Pat Paulsen made his final run for presidency. I also remember them featuring their sons' band doing a heavy rock version of... it might have been "Makin' Whoopee" or "Let's Misbehave" I can't recall which it was now. Sadly, satire died shortly thereafter.
I remember when this episode was first aired. I laughed so long and so hard! When I saw the promotion of this video on TH-cam, I stopped everything i was doing and clicked on it! LOVE IT!
So much of life is just blind luck. I was in my late teens when these guys were transcendent. So happy then to have been there and my opinion has only hardened 😅
Ohhhhhhhhh this brings back so many wonderful memories of the good old days!!!!!!! Thank you to whoever is responsible for airing these episodes........THANK YOU!!!
Thank you, Paul Brownstein, for uploading these clips of Tom and Dick Smothers. They are special to me. Blessed to have them as brothers. Sharing these clips bring a smile along with a heavy dose of laughter. No bias on my part.
You turkey Sherry, I didn't think a thing; that is, out of the ordinary of your comment up to "they are special to me", as they were and still are 'also' to me after seeing them just a couple of times. First time on Ed Sullivan's show... I'm guessing sometime around the Beatles appearance, 62-64... making me 10-12yrs. old. Then to read they're your brothers and sure enough I look up and seen your last name. I looked up three different times in surprise never expecting, I don't know why, their sister would be one commenting. Love your ending! And thank you for being a part of this comedy hour I just watched. And mr. Paul... thank you sir, if you're listening, and good nite to all. Timothy...
This was excellent, Mr Brownstein. Thank you for sharing these brilliant comical and instrumental pieces of entertainment. I have loved and adored tThe Smothers Brothers all my life, ever since I was a child. They are still as witty and as charming as ever. Thank you once again!
Tom and Dick Smothers were the best ever. Funny, irreverent, intelligent, and refused to be muffled. I miss them so much. There has never again anyone like them, but if another pair rose up, I would love it.
Supremely talented, absolutely hilarious. The tragedy is that in a half century nothing at all has changed. Except the deficit is one hundred times as great.
Live well and good by laughing innocently, and often. Add "love others much" to the mix and you'll at least be heading in the proper direction, and won't be tripping over your own dark emotions simply because 'hurt' popped right into your 'victim' head, and you felt a strong need to respond to it. Hello from Maine, USA...May 24 2023. I hope that someday we can all sit back and happily laugh together as brothers and sisters, all modern society united as if family or friends even, friends happily laughing together about how foolish humans used to be, but aren't anymore since we all found a source of tranquility, while yet still experiencing many, many adventures together, too. I hope that. An old, tired man can get to have little sweet dreams if he's a silly little dreamer, right?
"Michael Row The Boat Ashore" is a great gospel song. I remember singing that song around the campfire at camp in the late 1960's, around the time that "The Smothers Brothers" show was on the air. That program should be never had been cancelled by CBS. That will always be remembered as a great tragedy in television story.
When I watch these 2 lovely men I cry hard because of the simpler time. Truly missed! I was a teenager Tender and they could say whatever they wanted ♥️🌹🙏
They were wonderful and funny and daring. Folk music and singalongs were magical. I loved that period of music just as I was on the edge of adolescence.
Their show got them into trouble a few times. It was a fabulous show. They were funny and clever guys as well as being musically very talented. They always had the best guests.
Pat Paulson for President! Tommy and Dickie were instrumental in my social activism, using music and satire to great effect. Bless them, and RIP Tommy. ❤
Thank you Paul. Spent a nice evening with entertainment. Some subject matter seems to be still very relevant to this day. We need to keep fighting the good fight. XO
In one show, Dick said, "We've come a long way since that first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, when the Pilgrims sat down at the table with the Indians to eat turkey." Tom replied, "Boy, I'll say we've come a long way. Now we're in Paris, sitting down at a table with the Viet Cong, eating crow."
The 1960's were great times for many reasons, including The Smothers Brothers Hour, and because of the Women's Movement which for the most part, got rid of the "objectification of women," because of successful social movements that attempted to eliminate racial prejudice (unfortunately, racial prejudice continues today), because of the rise and maturation of a new musical medium called rock'n'roll (including The Fab Four, Crosby Still & Nash, The Byrds, Lovin' Spoonful, The Impressions, The Temptations, Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead). But the 1960's were also horrible times for the 60,000 American boys who never returned from doing their "Patriotic Chore." If you want to know the meaning of, "Patriotic Chore," you will learn what this means from a song by Kenny Rogers, "Don't Take Your Love To Town." - - - Tom Brody, Ph.D, Berkeley, CA
Thank you for putting this compilation together from the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour; I find myself both laughing and crying from their humorous banter and sentimental songs they would play. They were the greatest duo comedy/singing team in show business (in my opinion)! I remember watching them on television and laughing all the way through their programs. Tommy was a great comedian, and his brother, Dick, a wonderful and talented singer and straight man. ( As an aside, I believe Pat Paulsen used some of his showbiz money to buy the little town of Asti, which is north of Cloverdale in Sonoma County, California; and there he declared himself "Honorary Mayor"--Population: roughly, a few dozen folks! And Tommy had a vineyard/winery with his wife, Marcy, located near Kenwood, California also in Sonoma County--in Jack London's famous stomping grounds, The Valley of the Moon, before they sold it and he moved to Santa Rosa, CA. ) ~drs (01/05/24)
R I P Tommy Smothers. You and your brother are in a class of its own. So many firsts were made and doors opened. And we laughed all the way! You will be missed.
Tommy was great they were great we could use them today. My father was a negro no he wasn't says dick I should know I'm your brother how great
That's why mom liked you more. Laugh !

Their success was partly because they didn’t take them selves to serious. Pure enjoyment

This is most underrated comedic duo of all time!
😊❤ 😊😊
Comedy duos as well as Comedy Teams are indeed an "indangered species" in show business today!😮💨🤥😌😔
Nah. That would be Homer and Jethro.
Actually they were rated very very high!
At this year 2021 we desesperatly need The Smothers Brothers to make us regain a sense of humor and the joy of laughter. We miss you.
Yes but the first thing the smothersr's brothers would have to realize is that the Democrats are not what they used to be in 1968.
Take hiway 12 from santa rosa to sonoma, and stop by their winnery.

"Michael Row The Boat Ashore" is a great gospel song. I remember singing that song around the campfire at camp in the late 1960's, around the time that "The Smothers Brothers" show was on the air. That program should be never had been cancelled by CBS. That will always be remembered as a great tragedy in television story.
I really don’t understand thumbs down. What’s not to love about Dicky and Tommy
These guys were so great together. I'm very sad over the passing of Tommy.
RIP Tommy
When I watch these 2 lovely men I cry hard because of the simpler time.
Truly missed! I was a teenager
Tender and they could say whatever they wanted
♥️🌹🙏
They were wonderful and funny and daring. Folk music and singalongs were magical. I loved that period of music just as I was on the edge of adolescence.
Tommy did a perfect Johnny Carson!
Yes, he really did!! I found that video a few months ago - he was so spot on.
@@cak8132 great!!
Loved these guys
Was very young when the show 1st aired . Watching this now , very smart material. A little risky for the time . Thanks for sharing .
Their show got them into trouble a few times. It was a fabulous show. They were funny and clever guys as well as being musically very talented. They always had the best guests.
That's part of the reason why there were only three seasons. They pushed the boundaries a bit too much for the times.
Hilarious.
Love the Smuthers brothers!!!!
Pat Paulson for President! Tommy and Dickie were instrumental in my social activism, using music and satire to great effect. Bless them, and RIP Tommy. ❤
Even more in 2024
Mom always liked you best.
I missed these guys! So sad I came upon this after Tommy passed on RIP!
They were cute and funny together and fun to watch. Good voices too, and the nostalgia of seeing them so young!
They actually took it when he said "Take it."! 🤣
To be honest though that sounded like a chorus to me and not a studio audience. They probably had planted singers.
Yes we do miss them
Miss you Tommy.
Thank you Paul. Spent a nice evening with entertainment. Some subject matter seems to be still very relevant to this day. We need to keep fighting the good fight. XO
In one show, Dick said, "We've come a long way since that first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, when the Pilgrims sat down at the table with the Indians to eat turkey." Tom replied, "Boy, I'll say we've come a long way. Now we're in Paris, sitting down at a table with the Viet Cong, eating crow."
Isn't it a shame people age and retire...wish they could entertain forever...clean..funny..talented
So sorry we lost tommy..
They were so good. I didn't appreciate their humor when I was watching them on TV back then.
I think Mom really liked YOU best
God knows I’m sorry!
I was a 60s & 70s child.Born in 56 🌹♥️🙏
Tommy, we will miss you!!!!
The 1960's were great times for many reasons, including The Smothers Brothers Hour, and because of the Women's Movement which for the most part, got rid of the "objectification of women," because of successful social movements that attempted to eliminate racial prejudice (unfortunately, racial prejudice continues today), because of the rise and maturation of a new musical medium called rock'n'roll (including The Fab Four, Crosby Still & Nash, The Byrds, Lovin' Spoonful, The Impressions, The Temptations, Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead). But the 1960's were also horrible times for the 60,000 American boys who never returned from doing their "Patriotic Chore." If you want to know the meaning of, "Patriotic Chore," you will learn what this means from a song by Kenny Rogers, "Don't Take Your Love To Town." - - - Tom Brody, Ph.D, Berkeley, CA
greatest ever
“My Old Man” song was so Funny!
So clever…from Australia.
THEY TAUGHT US TO WHAT'S RIGHT AND WRONG WITH COMEDY
they didn't put out enough records...I would have bought them all.
Talent AND Comedy...why can't it be found anymore?
Thank you for putting this compilation together from the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour; I find myself both laughing and crying from their humorous banter and sentimental songs they would play. They were the greatest duo comedy/singing team in show business (in my opinion)! I remember watching them on television and laughing all the way through their programs. Tommy was a great comedian, and his brother, Dick, a wonderful and talented singer and straight man. ( As an aside, I believe Pat Paulsen used some of his showbiz money to buy the little town of Asti, which is north of Cloverdale in Sonoma County, California; and there he declared himself "Honorary Mayor"--Population: roughly, a few dozen folks! And Tommy had a vineyard/winery with his wife, Marcy, located near Kenwood, California also in Sonoma County--in Jack London's famous stomping grounds, The Valley of the Moon, before they sold it and he moved to Santa Rosa, CA. ) ~drs (01/05/24)
