I wonder why this one didn't achieve icon status like the chocolate factory and the vitavitavegimen episodes. Both Lucy and Desi gave top notch comedic performances and the writing was solidly funny.
How about when they built the Bar B Que. Fred said "I'll be a Monkey's uncle". Rickey's response was "I don't want to hear any more about Fred's relatives". Cracked me up.
I just watched again and laughed hysterically. My favorite "I Love Lucy" episode along with the Ricardos and the Mertez in the cabin when the train comes along and moves the bed across the room.🤣
I remember watching this on Nick at Night when I was a teenager and my mom asked me the next morning what in earth I was laughing so hard about. I was crying from laughing. So good.
I was born that Monday May 14, 1956. It was the night this episode aired.I'm sure my mom watched "I Love Lucy" while she held me. It was always my favorite episode. Guess I know why. "Cheddar...er....Chester". So funny.
Agreed! What makes it even funnier is how blaise Lucy was about it just being a piece of cheese and being all relaxed (that it's over) and laughing to herself right before the lady screams, LOL.
It wasn’t shown in this clip but it’s so hysterical when the police officer asks Ricky for an explanation, and he gives a hilarious synopsis, and the officer asks, “Didn’t you think this was rather strange behavior??” And Ricky says “FOR LUCY?? No.” 😆😆❤️
Lucy was the best comedienne ever! I felt really sad the day she passed away. I still like watching her shows. Even after all these years still so funny. Maybe a little outdated but still fun watching…
So funny on the plane with Lucy pretending that cheese is a baby, and Ricky says he is not the father of that cheese. Lucy drinking from the baby bottle is hilarious.
I have searched and searched for this episode. The first time I watched this episode with this scene with the cheese disguised as a baby and the reaction of her seatmate had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Thank you so much for posting it. A too often overlooked episode that is as funny, if not funnier, as the candy factory episode, the vitamegavetamin episode, or any other episode. THUMBS UP!
The reaction on Ricky's face when Lucy first enters the plane with the cheese and shortly after she sits down with it literally has me laughing so hard my stomach aches!!
It’s hysterical when she realizes she has to pay for the “baby” when they arrive in New York and her whole demeanor shifts, because the whole idea was not paying for the 25lb cheese OR baby….so now she has this 25lb cheddar baby flat on her lap and she’s resting her elbows on it’s face and body, nonchalantly, like it’s a pillow. The other mother’s shocked face is a riot! Ahhh for the love of a good cheese! 🧀
she is still the most funny and elegant lady ever. I watched so many episodes when I was a kid in the 90s.. one day my dad said I had to go to bed, and I was like but it's a new episode! lol.
This s one of my favorites, this one and "No children allowed " I will never stop laughing at the both of them .hahahahahahahahaha. I've watched this one a millions times over and crack up each time !!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Mary Jane's SCREAM when Lucy tells her it was a piece of cheese!! Reminds me of Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane in the old Superman TV series.
That's called "confabulation" or "the Mandela effect." It's one of the reasons why America has a *statute of limitations* , unlike the rest of the world's countries. The founding fathers understood that human memory is remarkably fallible.
I had seen this episode many times since I was a kid. But the first time I watched it after 9/11, I gasped when she came through the aisle with a big knife.
This one of the best episode how on earth can that lady even think that she did something to her kid if Lucy was acting weird and didn't see it only to prove that that being woth her is never boring
Among the MANY hilarious lines in this episode: after Lucy explains the economics of air travel to Ethel, Ethel comments: "Well then, it"s still cheaper to have the cheese be a baby than for the baby to be a cheese."
There's also the scene from the episode where the Ricardos and the Mertzes lived like their grandparents did, and Lucy made coffee in an old-fashioned coffeepot (throwing an eggshell in, because her grandmother was Swedish!)
I love watching old TV shows from the 50s and 60s. They used to do that a lot back then, have the same actor or actress play a part in one episode and then a totally different character several episodes later. For instance, in a first season episode of BEWITCHED, Paul Lynde played a nervous driving instructor, and in subsequent seasons he was Uncle Arthur!
@@rtususian Jackie Gleason used to do that back in the day. He had a cadre of performers called "Gleason players" who could cope with his minimum to zero rehearsal policy (he himself had a photographic memory which enabled him to memorize a script in an hour but of course not everyone was as blessed as he was) and were able to ad lib as needed. That's why on all of his skits, even those in the Classic 39 filmed The Honeymooners episodes you saw the same faces on the extras albeit with slightly changed appearances so it wasn't as obvious it was the same ppl over and over. He used to call Audrey Meadows "the Rock", presumably of Gibraltar since she rarely made mistakes and would memorize not only her lines but also Jackie's and Art Carney's lines for insurance, therefore enabling her to swiftly get them back on track as needed.
My fiya took her real child in bus and she was born and she didn't want to buy ticket so she hid her under the seat in bus.😂we were laughing at her and she was so funny 😂
Lucille Ball was at the top of her game in the I Love Lucy episodes. There's no question that it was Desi Arnez's directing that brought out Lucy's hilarious performances. In The Lucy Show Lucille Ball's comedy missed. There were a few good episodes but most were mediocre to dreadful. I've read a lot about Lucille Ball. Based on everything that I've read Lucille Ball could do almost anything with the right script and the necessary directing.
The earlier episodes of The Lucy Show with Vivian Vance were pretty special. Lucy and Viv were great scene partners, so after Viv left the show, I agree that the quality went way down.
Jackie Gleason coulda used that in his variety show years ago as his Stanley R. Sogg character pitching products during the late, late, late show that always had the Mother Fletcher label: Mother Fletcher's Mozzarella and Pasta Fazool.
My family has been laughing over that line “I am not the father of that cheese” for decades.
It’s so funny!
Still do, every time we buy this cheese😂😂😂😂 0:52
Mine too!!!
The way Lucy burps the baby cheese so funny. Ms. Ball was amazing.
Classic! Laughed so hard it bright tears to my eyes!
“Being married to you is not easy…but it sure is a lot of fun” AMEN to that!❤️😂
I wonder why this one didn't achieve icon status like the chocolate factory and the vitavitavegimen episodes. Both Lucy and Desi gave top notch comedic performances and the writing was solidly funny.
A lot of Lucy fans love this episode!
How about when they built the Bar B Que. Fred said "I'll be a Monkey's uncle". Rickey's response was "I don't want to hear any more about Fred's relatives". Cracked me up.
One of my favorite
“Lucy eats her baby on a plane” doesn’t have the same ring to it 😅
The grape stomping episode is another 😂
“What’s his name?”
“Cheddar.😳 Err.. CHESTER.”
LMAO 😂😂😂
I love that! 😂
70 years old and still comedy gold.
I just watched again and laughed hysterically. My favorite "I Love Lucy" episode along with the Ricardos and the Mertez in the cabin when the train comes along and moves the bed across the room.🤣
The First Stop
And ethel got toothpaste over her face
"He hates to drink alone."
🤣🤣🤣🤣 this episode I swear
By the time Lucy moved to Westport, Connecticut I guess she'd forgotten about meeting Betty Ramsey on the plane a few years back. LOL
She was Cynthia Harcourt in the women from Mars episode
"Cheddar aaah Chester!" LMAO! Also all the other Lucy lines
I crack up at the idea of Lucy trying to stuff little pieces of cheese into a piccolo! 😄
LLL MMM FFF AAA OOO
I remember watching this on Nick at Night when I was a teenager and my mom asked me the next morning what in earth I was laughing so hard about. I was crying from laughing. So good.
🤣👍
Best show ever!

I always thought it would’ve been hilarious if the other lady’s baby had been fake too. Like a loaf of French bread or something. XD
Haha, that’d be hilarious!
That lady is also Betty in this show and Lucy 's close friend in Lucy show and Here's Lucy....so fine and funny.
@@chaturongarchary9773 Yes! Mary Jane Croft, a wonderful woman.
I thought it would have been hilarious if there was a mix-up and Lucy accidentally got the real baby and the other lady got the cheese
Lol.❤. Pasteurized baby.
She screamed so loud lol I cackle every time at Lucy’s reaction when she hears the piercing scream lol never gets old
I know! Haha!
Agreed! What makes it even funnier is how blaise Lucy was about it just being a piece of cheese and being all relaxed (that it's over) and laughing to herself right before the lady screams, LOL.
Well then let me keep it in the refrigerator for you....Lucy almost hands it over. LMAO!
This stuff is gold. Stands the test of time. Although I thought back in the 50s you could bring anything on a plane😂
Yes I'm curious how much security there was at airports in the 50s. Did they have X-ray devices then for the luggage and carry ons?
They’re just doing that because Ricky was too cheap to bring the souvenirs in the plane. Things are weighted before they bring it on the plane.
It wasn’t shown in this clip but it’s so hysterical when the police officer asks Ricky for an explanation, and he gives a hilarious synopsis, and the officer asks, “Didn’t you think this was rather strange behavior??” And Ricky says “FOR LUCY?? No.” 😆😆❤️
I love that!
@@kjricardo249
IKR? I love Ricky’s blunt answer, “FOR LUCY??? NO.”
Thank you!! This episode is hands down one of my all time favorite episodes of I Love Lucy!! Thank you for sharing. 😂☺️
You're welcome!
"He hates to drink alone". 😀
This was a very funny episode. Lucille Ball at her best. Thank you for posting.
You’re welcome!
What's his name?
Cheddar- uh, Chester!
😂😂😂😂😂
I always laugh at that!!!!!
Classic & timeless insanely funny 😁
Ricky's face priceless I'm not the father of that cheese hahaha
I love that! 😂
LLL MMM FFF AAA OOO
I just realized the lady sitting next to Lucy plays Betty Ramsey 😊
It kills me the way she shoves those two pieces of cheese into Ethel’s person….lol 😂❤
LLL MMM FFF AAA OOO
Ok but the argument of "it was a baby" "it was a piece of cheese!" Had me in tears 😂
Same! 😂
That part always gets me in my funny bone as well!
Mary Jane Croft--another favorite guest on the show. Love you, honey. RIP
Lucy was the best comedienne ever! I felt really sad the day she passed away. I still like watching her shows. Even after all these years still so funny. Maybe a little outdated but still fun watching…
I don’t know what’s more funnier: that Lucy thought this would work or that Lucy drew a smiley face on the cheese’s “face”
One of my favorite episodes!
It's so good!
My favorite episode, still makes me laugh. Next favorite is the trip to Italy and the grape stomping. ;)
Mama Mia 5:00

We will always love Lucy.♥♥♥♥
I love I love Lucy❤️ was always my favorite growing up love the reruns today ❤️
The other lady with the baby was Mary Jane Croft. She would later appear in The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy.
"WERE GONNA EAT IT!" LLLMMMFFFAAAOOO
Brilliant television show
It's so creepy when she's laughing and telling that lady it was cheese....🤣😬🤣!!
One of my favorites, to me it's on a par with the candy factory and Vitametavegamine episodes. So funny! "Cheddar - uh CHESTER"
It’s so good! So many great lines.
To this day any time someone says "What do we do with such and such food?" I always answer in the Lucy way: "We're gonna eat it!"
I just ate 2 slices of muenster cheese and 4 slices of American Cheese as a snack. Lucy and Ethel have me beat!!! LOL
Not while you have THAT!😂😂
The reaction on Ricky's face when Lucy first enters the plane with the cheese and shortly after she sits down with it literally has me laughing so hard my stomach aches!!
Cheese in the instruments, lol.
So THAT'S where you hid the cheese!
It’s hysterical when she realizes she has to pay for the “baby” when they arrive in New York and her whole demeanor shifts, because the whole idea was not paying for the 25lb cheese OR baby….so now she has this 25lb cheddar baby flat on her lap and she’s resting her elbows on it’s face and body, nonchalantly, like it’s a pillow.

Ahhh for the love of a good cheese! 🧀
This is an iconic episode with so many great moments!
i, love this episodes of i love lucy
Me too!
she is still the most funny and elegant lady ever. I watched so many episodes when I was a kid in the 90s..
one day my dad said I had to go to bed, and I was like but it's a new episode! lol.

This is a hilarious scene
Yes, it is!
Never seen this one.
Too cute!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Mary Jane's SCREAM when Lucy tells her it was a piece of cheese!! Reminds me of Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane in the old Superman TV series.
I love her scream!
so hilarious😅😅😅😅😅😅
“SO THATS WHERE YOU HID THE CHEESE!”
That had to be Mel Blanc. It sounded just like Yosemite Sam lol
@@ad8554 No, that was Frank Nelson as the Customs Officer.
Lucy, how could you?! Now there won't be any music! 😦😆
The other mother kept insisting it was a baby. She even stated he looks just like the father.
That's called "confabulation" or "the Mandela effect."
It's one of the reasons why America has a *statute of limitations* , unlike the rest of the world's countries. The founding fathers understood that human memory is remarkably fallible.
6:15 funny how Lucy acts like a little kid while she wears the bonnet.
Her costar is constantly holding back laughter! Just love it!
*Frank Nelson* and *Mary Jane Croft* before they were *Ralph* and *Betty Ramsey.*
I loved them both but Frank really was one of a kind.
@@jaengen Frank Nelson was also the train conductor in the episode where Lucy keeps pulling the emergency stop cord. "Oh it's you".
the way she pretended to make the cheese baby drink the formula was hysterical
"Oh Lucy, even I can't eat all this!"
Good Idea: Flying on an airplane.
Bad Idea: Flying on a airplane smuggling cheese aboard.
The End
@@mikesmemoriesfromthepast89 Thanks for adding that info.
I love it! And cheese too….
I had seen this episode many times since I was a kid. But the first time I watched it after 9/11, I gasped when she came through the aisle with a big knife.
I think it would so much fun to be married to Lucy
What's his name ..Lucy cheddar lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This one of the best episode how on earth can that lady even think that she did something to her kid if Lucy was acting weird and didn't see it only to prove that that being woth her is never boring
4:58 so casual lol
What a woman !🤣🤣🤣🤣
Among the MANY hilarious lines in this episode: after Lucy explains the economics of air travel to Ethel, Ethel comments: "Well then, it"s still cheaper to have the cheese be a baby than for the baby to be a cheese."
It looks just like him. Lol
I might be late to this party but if there is a day for coffee lovers, you should put the clip of Lucy making Ricky her famous Cup of Mud.
Good idea!!
There's also the scene from the episode where the Ricardos and the Mertzes lived like their grandparents did, and Lucy made coffee in an old-fashioned coffeepot (throwing an eggshell in, because her grandmother was Swedish!)
I Bin fafting one I saw the dvd vershtion of ILove Lucy when Lucy the one that has the eruption
trip going back to new yourk ❤️
So funny
The woman with the baby and the police officer would later become the Ricardo's neighbors, Ralph and Betty Ramsey, when they moved to the country.😷
Yes! The Ramseys!

Yes
The lady on the plane went on to play Betty Ramsey in the Connecticut episodes!
My fiya took her real child in bus and she was born and she didn't want to buy ticket so she hid her under the seat in bus.😂we were laughing at her and she was so funny 😂
I love Lucy and Ethel scenes. Much better without the boys.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1:52
this is flipped- they were sitting on the left Llucy and the lady with the baby...
I thought so too.
Another one of my favorite episode's. Where can I go to watch full episodes of I love Lucy?
They’re on Paramount+!
How did the images get flipped/reversed?

Tariffs will kill your budget. Better to have it shipped to your home address.
Could you imagine holding a baby on a flight?
Lucy's other baby mozzarella
Jackie Gleason coulda used that in his variety show years ago as his Stanley R. Sogg character pitching products during the late, late, late show that always had the Mother Fletcher label: Mother Fletcher's Mozzarella and Pasta Fazool.
Was Lucy the first one on TV to say "fuhgedabaddit"?
Lucy created an international incident. Post 9/11 they might have thrown her in jail!!
if she cut the cheese into chunks like she did later it would've looked more realistic.
Forget about it!
Came here to watch this scene after an episode of American Housewife referenced it
Cheddar is not an Italian cheese, Cheddar is in England.
Oops 😂
Good catch!!
I'm sure they realized that...but the joke was too good to pass up.
Kristen Joy VanGorden:Lucie Arnaz is actually blackmailing me. Along with Kate Mckinnon but Kate Mckinnon is also blackmailing Lucie Arnaz.
What the heck are you babbling about? Are you ok?
