I agree too because in this show Here there is a middle-age woman try not to laugh when those three guys started doing all of this funny stuff in front of her because I can see that woman’s try not to laugh because she’s like huffing and puffing trying not to laugh because I used to watch this as a five-year-old back in the day when it was out still on television in the 70s.
I certainly remember this lady on it's original air date and I rolled on the ground laughing non stop! What a back to back treat back then, 11:00pm Make Me Laugh and then 11:30, Benny Hill, no wonder I was always tired in high school!
Yes 💯 '79-'80 Classic Ending Out Late 70s Comedy 930pm for me in San Diego Cali. Mash Followed at 10, then Benny Hill & Wrapped up with a Double Dip of My Boys the Stooges & of Course the Star Spangled Banner to conclude the Broadcast Day...Then finally Sleep at Midnight. Good Times in 7th/8th Grade🤟🤘😎👏😁
I think originated this show originated on KTLA Ch 5 in LA (and I think another game show called Liars Club aired about the same time) and were syndicated across the US . I had a high school friend whose mom was also a contestant on the same show but the blowing lady stole the entire show. As I remember, they had the blowing lady back for a second visit as her first visit was was so funny. A lot of young comics appeared on Make Me Laugh before they were big stars. Thanks for posting this, great memories.
She may be deceased now but I love her when I saw this in real time, it was the funniest Make Me laugh that was somewhere in 1979 when I was watching this show one late evening Wow I can't believe someone recorded this.!
Man that woman's face must have hurt like hell after that, she wanted that money REALLLLLLLY bad! I love the standing O she got in the end, it's like "SHE SURVIVED!!!"
Thanks for posting this...I havent seen a clip from this show in 30 plus years..I always remembered Bobby Van he was married to Elaine Joyce as I recall and he died from a heart attack at a young age..
I remember this game show and this contestant. I also remember when Comedy Center tried to reboot it in the nineties. It failed miserably. The reason: comedy changed CC used comedians that specialized in observational comedy. It took the whole minute just to work up to the punchline.
Yes, remember watching this when it originally aired (WKBD channel 50 Detroit) Senior year high school and was rolling in laughter! They even brought her back for a later show, I remember Murray Langston (aka The Unknown Comic) kept lighting matches and she kept blowing them out!! Never forget my before bed ritual Make Me Laugh at 11 then Benny Hill at 11:30…sure miss those days!!
I LOVED this show. I remember this episode, and her 'breathing'. She so deserves the money. All these years later, it STILL breaks me up. The comedians on this show were doing ANYTHING they thought could work (a great place to learn for them - AND us), and It was also terrific to see so many great comedians on the show (this episode - with these 3 is easily one of the funniest)!
They dont make shows like this anymore. I was laughing hysterically with eyes watering. How on earth did this lady make it through the third round??? Used to watch this show around 11pm weekdays in 1979 along with taxi. Those were the days. One of the comics should have brought in a blow up doll and asked her to inflate it...lol.
Yeah i sure miss the 70s. The Vietnam War, Richard 'Tricky Dick' Nixon. Water Gate, the draft, gas rationing, hippies, the drug war and the Yankees winning the world series.
@@karengray8618.... No need to yell, KAREN. Yes this is Bobby Van, and no, he did not shoot himself in the head. He didn't even commit suicide. He died of a brain tumor in 1980.
I remember this lady! I used to watch this show all the time when I was a kid. I really liked Bobby Van. He seemed like such of a very nice, sweet man :)
One of the funniest youtube clips out there. Somebody has got to have complete episodes of the USA network reruns from the 80's they need to be posted.
e37a ....your right, Gary Shandling, and Gallagher here, plus Bob Saget, Mike Binder, Tim Thomerson and from The Gong Show they had Gary Muledeer and The Unknown Comic....
Yes 💯 he was a Great Host & His Wife Elaine Joyce was a Guest on one night & it was So Fuuunny he asked her about her kids & dhe looked at him & said, "Well She Threw up on you last night" everybody was Rolling out Laughing in that one👏🤣👏🤣
I remember when this originally ran; I used to fake being sick so I could stay home from school and watch it. I was and still am a fan of Bobby Van - he was taken far too soon, bless his soul.
That was the best "Make Me Laugh" ever I was just laughing up a storm with this lady who was trying too refrain from laughing! At least she laughed at the end of each round!
I love when the first comedian got up there, saw her facial expressions, and said "Screw the routine I had planned." Secondly, in some cases, I think the judges would've easily ruled against her, but she was so funny, they said "Let this ride. Best $360 we've spent in awhile."
This show was great. I watched it every night when I was a kid. I remember that contestant. They brought her back, and one of the comedians had a party favor that she would blow, and you talk about funny, that was it. There was a comedy team called Roger and Roger, I believe, and they were hysterical. I'd loved to have this on DVD. Great show. Could you please post more shows of it? Thanks
i haven't seen this show before except for the most recent one on comedy central.now I gotta try and remember where tf I was at and why I missed out on it
THis show was so funny-I remember going to the Comedy Club here in Cleveland to see Shandling, Kip Addotta, then the front row for Gallager. So much talent
What? I didnt see it comming that he would become a chicken ! This is genious, there aint no funny jokes or somebody who slipped on a banana scale. Its a very special kind of humor and i found it extremely funny :D:D
Wow I surely remember you on Make Me Laugh and this lady, wow, this show absolutely was a launching pad for you, and Shandling plus others like Bob Saget,Mike Binder, Bruce Baum, Gallagher & Kip Adotta to name a small few. It sure looked like fun on that show!
Yeah totally out of the blue too, his heart just decided to give out, he called 911 but it was too late. Incredibly Gallagher has had 5 (5!!!) heart attacks including one while performing but fortunately he is still with us, but boy he needs to take care of himself!
+Andrew Tornadoboy I actually got to meet Gallagher when he was here several years ago. He signed a T-shirt with his logo on it. I still have it, never wore it.
If Make Me Laugh does come back, WWE superstar Becky Lynch could be the host, Becky’s real-life BFF Charlotte Flair could be the announcer/sidekick and the format could be the same: 3 contestants facing 3 comedians, one at a time for 1 minute with $100 for every second they don’t laugh, with $5000 awarded if they last the full 3 minutes and a celebrity playing the final round of every episode!
@@NickName-qh9dzHighly Doubt it Dude... Great way of marking the Crybabies go away with a new Show Rendition and ABSOLUTELY POLITICALLY INCORRECT BabY !😆👊👊
Keep coming back to see if I can find the clip when Larry Murphy of the Kings was on and Bobby asked him "how many times did you score last year" and Murphy said 22 to which Bobby said "that was more than me" Classicl RIP Bobby.
@Patequi There was a guy on internet movie database who was selling sets of Make Me Laugh on DVD for around $50. He might still be there. Look up the title of the show to see if you can find him.
She had an idea on how to survive Make Me Laugh. I still say the best way is to bite yo tounge for a minute. I remember seein this on USA and Channel 44 in Chicago (when I was a baby).

I was 7 y/o when I watched this with my Dad, Mom and Sister and we were rolling on the floor laughing! Miss my family.
I remember watching that show every weeknight at 11:30pm right after the WLKY News on WLKY Channel 32, and also in reruns on 🇺🇸.
Hope you are ok. Sorry you miss your family.
Take care 1 love ❤

They brought back make me laugh and the gong show, but neither one of the remakes were very good.
I miss the gong show...with Chuck Barris and Gene Gene the dancing machine.....
@@josephcontreras8930This show had some up and coming comedians like Garry Shandling.

I so remember this when I was young channel 32 nightly in Chicago
And speaking of Channel 32, another Channel 32 aired Make Me Laugh every night at 11:30pm: then-ABC affiliate WLKY-TV Channel 32 in Louisville!

This show brings back memories! I remember it came on KPLR-TV in St. Louis in 1979 and I was only 4 years old. RIP Bobby Van.
I remember when it came on WLKY-TV in Louisville, five years before my oldest son was born.
I live in St. Louis, and watched all the time, also
What great show!
Thanks for the funny memories!
I wish that all of you people from the 2000's on could experience the world we had in the 70's.
IS THE HOST BOBBY VAN, I LIKED HIM AS A HOST, BUT DIDN'T HE SHOOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD IN REAL LIFE?
I wish Make Me Laugh would come back full time. Always loved the show when it was on in the 90s

i must be getting old, because i remember watching it when it first came out more than three decades ago
omg, this was funny.. Thanks for taking the time to upload it.. she was great, and I wish TV was this good today.
When I heard of Garry Shandling's passing today, I immediately thought of this clip. May he RIP.
+wlbaz You weren't alone. This was just one instance on that show of "Make Me Laugh 'Til I Cry."
I had not heard that
His HBO show with Rip Torn was a winner.
I soooo remember her. Thanks for posting
This woman is fantastic. All future contestant's should follow her lead, and use the blowing technique to keep from laughing.
“Are those really your lips or are they rented?”
Funny line from Gary Shandling.
And she won a whopping $360!
Who was the short guy comic?
I remember this lady! I used to watch this show all the time when I was a kid. I really liked Bobby Van. He seemed like such of a very nice, sweet man :)
Remember his wife, Elaine Joyce?
I watched the live show back in the 70's! This is the best episode they ever had!
They ganged up on her and she STILL won! Awesome!
Man, I used to love this show.
It'd be tough to have a clean show like this today.
This should be brought back
Comedy Central had their version of "Make Me Laugh" about 20 years later.
mesiyah08 In 2019? Are you kidding, laughing to hard to produce when you’re afraid of offending all the sensitives.
I remember seeing this live when it was first on. This show was on my local UHF channel
she was laughing inside with that blow threw her mouth and moving around short of making the laughing sound real creative on her part.
One of the funniest youtube clips out there. Somebody has got to have complete episodes of the USA network reruns from the 80's they need to be posted.
I watched this show every day! Some of the all-time greats started out on this show! Bobby Vann...R.I.P...
e37a ....your right, Gary Shandling, and Gallagher here, plus Bob Saget, Mike Binder, Tim Thomerson and from The Gong Show they had Gary Muledeer and The Unknown Comic....
Big facts! Howie was my favorite
The best episode I can remember had Joe Frazier in the chair. I need to look for that episode!

Goddamn I have such great memories of watching this show and Liars Club w/ my family when I was a little kid. =)
I am from London uk
Just discovered this show on youtube it is fabulous funny stuff
0:24 imagine watching this with no context
I wish we had a show call MAKE ME LAUGH!😂😂😂
My friends and I would smoke a joint b4 the show. We were laughing so much, we even laughed at the commercials.😂
Me and my best friend did the same thing!
Remember this game show and this episode fondly. What a special time in entertainment.
This was good. But, she only won $360. That’s the equivalent of about $.25 cents in today’s money.
legend has it she was laughing in tears for the rest of her life whenever she rewatched the show the sweet enduring legend
That was the best "Make Me Laugh" ever I was just laughing up a storm with this lady who was trying too refrain from laughing! At least she laughed at the end of each round!
Omg, I remember this. I think I was 19 yrs old. A long time ago. I was laughing my a$$ off.
Garry Shandling and Gallagher sharing a stage ... my universe just shifted subtly but irrevocably.
Yin and Yang.
first time i laughed in 24 hrs..thx!!
This is the best reality show I've ever seen :)
LMAO THE WHISTLE
Who's watching now in 2021? Hilarious vid!!
I love when the first comedian got up there, saw her facial expressions, and said "Screw the routine I had planned."
Secondly, in some cases, I think the judges would've easily ruled against her, but she was so funny, they said "Let this ride. Best $360 we've spent in awhile."

Bill Berry and Johnny Gilbert not only announced the revival, but so did Dick Tufeld, Les Marshak, Bob Caroli and Charlie O'Donnell.
i was on google then i clicked "im feeling lucky" when i typed make me laugh.
It was. It used to air in the late 70s and in re-runs in the 80s. Funny as hell.
What? I didnt see it comming that he would become a chicken ! This is genious, there aint no funny jokes or somebody who slipped on a banana scale. Its a very special kind of humor and i found it extremely funny :D:D

I have been looking for an episode of Make Me Laugh that a friend of mine was on. Any chance you will be uploading more episodes to youtube? {-)
I recall that, not long after this was first aired, the MML producers modified contestant rules: If their mouths opened at all, it was a laugh.
She had an idea on how to survive Make Me Laugh. I still say the best way is to bite yo tounge for a minute. I remember seein this on USA and Channel 44 in Chicago (when I was a baby).
