Still funny after all these years. The quality of comedy from that era will never be repeated again.
Poor Eunice... she just can't catch a break.
That last look as she was leaving was worth a million words.
@@cajun5957 she didn't bring it on herself, they drove her crazy with their crass behavior
@@NiecieSavo first we all have to remember this is a comedy skit made for entertainment.second I did acknowledge her family bringing on a bit of her misery. Third when someone tries living above their means, their status in the world and believing you’re the queen of the prom. You’re setting yourself up for a world of disappointments.
So true, all Eunice wanted to do was fit in and try to have a special meal. She was humiliated 😢.
However Eunice and her loud voilent temper (and singing) was what ended the meal. She could have really enjoyed it if she had simply ignored them or quietly asked them to cooperate.
Yes it is a sketch, and this is how it always ends up, but this time you do feel a bit sorry for Eunice.
@@cajun5957 first of all, huh? I don't even see your previous comment, you must have deleted it. And who tf doesn't know it's a comedy? I commented on *this show* not real life so spare us your drivel. You don't know me to be assuming anything at all. They still embarrassed *her* 🤷♀️
These family sketches always felt like a Tennessee Williams play, they're basically mini dramas if you remove the laughter. And this one was no exception, especially when Eunice's heart shatters at the end
Perfect comparison.
Yes.
Well said.
@@MichaelSheffield-ox8yd YES!
These sketches were so good and hit so close to reality on dysfunctional families. I always felt bad for Eunice despite the mean streak she often had. Life just never turned out the way she wanted and all she wanted to do was better herself.
After dealing with the mom and her husband you understand why she get so upset.
Heartbreaking. She's trying so hard to appear "upscale and sophisticated" and she's the worst offender of all
Carol, Harvey & Vicki at their best!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Pure Eunice. She tried so hard to just be accepted.
So many Mothers and Daughters... Have this dysfunctional relationship! 🙏
For many of us, this was disturbingly true-to-life.
She gets so excited about getting a Pink Lady
I'd get a margarita myself, or maybe a martini.
🤣🤣🤣
What do Pink Ladies taste like?🤔
Pink ladies look like Pepto bismol
Carol was really born to act especially on the carol Burnett show .she's so natural
Duh. It's her show. She invented it.
It's named after Carol
I love these old comedies and Carol Burnett show. They don't make quality sitcoms like they did in the 70's
Vicki Lawrence looks just like how an old lady would look, clutching her purse with her lower lip pouted up!😂🤣
Vicki Lawrence is the youngest and least experienced of the three. She's clenching her lips to prevent herself from laughing.
I remember when these shows were on the air back in the day, in a time when we all could take a joke and laugh even if it was at our expense. That’s the problem with the world today everyone so serious and offended over nothing… I miss these days of old.
Hooray, a Family sketch! Love those. Eunice's meltdown over the pepper mill is priceless.
But I do get a little blue at the end, because she had a taste of a better world, and it was suddenly cut short. Carol can pull our heart-strings very well with just an expression. She's such a great talent, especially when playing Eunice Higgins.
My favorite Family skits are Sorry (Harvey took Eunice's little yella fellas.) and Monopoly (Mama telling Eunice that she ain't playing with a full deck, etc., etc., "You wait, there's more." warped puck). 😂🤣😂
@@KoshN I never get tired of those two games sketches. They're so good. In "Monopoly" I love it when Philip calls Mama from Italy and during their exchange she asks about Rome, "Is there anything there worth seein'?" 😆
Another one I like is when they played Charades, with Mickey. How Eunice ever expected to have a fun time playing that game with Mama as her team mate is a mystery!
Same here, and the tragic climax of Eunice's aspirations is her getting gonged on The Gong Show.
@@scottgrunow5201 Yes!
Do you keep in touch with Elaine?
This is timeless and still revelant among some families today.
Brilliant. The Carol Burnett show never disappoints. These three are top notch.
Poor Eunice. She could never catch a break. I feel her pain. 😅
This show is 1 of my very fondest memories with my now deceased Mother & Father back in the 1970’s! ❤️🥰❤️
This episode reminds me so much of an actual event that happened on my mothers side of the family. My grandmother was a little old country woman who grew up in rural North Carolina. She had a garden, chicken coup, a couple hogs, canned her own foods, hung her cloths on line out back to dry, shelled butter bean and picked corn and many other things that country folks did. She was a tough old lady who spoke her mind freely and didn't care about fancy things. My mother was dating a man at the time who was from New Jersey originally named Jim. Grandma was leery about Jim when she found out he was a "yankee" as she put it but in a short time, he won her over and she came to genuinely respect him. Jim was a very kind and good man and he never met a stranger. Anyway, for grandmas 78th birthday, Jim took me, mom and grandma out of town to a swanky Italian restaurant. Oh my goodness, here walks in a little old woman who prior to this her fanciest meal was one trip to a Golden Coral. Right from the start she saw the menu and asked Jim was the price for a glass of tea four a pitcher because it was one glass, she would go home and make some tea and save him the money. Then she studied over the menu complaining about the choices. The waiter comes up and says "hello, my name is Franco and I will be your server today." She said, "Franco, where you from fellow?" Mom said, "momma, stop." He told her where he was from and grandma said, "how on Earth did you get here"? Anyway, the server didn't know what to make of grandma but they hit it off. Well, Jim ordered for me and mom and it came time for grandma and she said "I got it, I know what I want". She told Franco, "I'll have some fried chicken, collard greens with fatback, some black-eyed peas and corn bread..please". Franco's face was one of confusion and he said, "madam, we do not serve those items that you requested, might I suggest something for you?" Grandma said, "you don't serve what I wanted?" He said, "no". She said "what kinda of place is this, can't even get fried chicken"? Jim stepped in and ordered something for her and mom was about to crawl under the table in embarrassment. I was only 9 years old at the time and was about to kill myself laughing. The food came and grandma ate about half of it, said it gave her gas....out loud of coarse. Then she asked for a take-out box and mom said "mother, you don't do that here, leave it." Grandma said, that's what's wrong with this generation today, your wasteful!" Anyway, after many strange looks from the customers around us and mom turning red as a beet, it was time to pay the bill and leave. Then the manager came out and wanted to speak to grandma. He said, "I heard that you were not satisfied with your food, I am so sorry is there anything that I can do for you?" Grandma said, "Well....its my birthday and Jim wanted to impress me and spent allot of money on this and I appreciate it, I just ain't never ate out much, I didn't mean to make a fuss." The manager who was very nice said, "I understand, I want all my customers to leave happy so if there is anything I can do for you please do not hesitate to tell me." He shouldn't said that. Grandma said, "Ok, now that you asked, she said try learning how to cook some real food, like chitterlings, collards, fried chicken, etc. I think it will help draw in more business for you." Then she said bye and out the door she went. Mama said that she would never take grandma out to eat again. Boy what a day that was. Grandma has been dead for years and now mom is in her late 70's. Jim passed away about 5 years after that day of a massive heart attack at work. That "fancy" restaurant went out of business long ago and the lot was redeveloped. Today, a vape store sits there. Go figure.
What a fun story …. I loved reading this! Thanks for sharing!!
They should have invited your grandma back so that she could give them a cooking lesson. BTW why didn’t they have chicken cutlet parm on the menu. Thank you for sharing.
Great story to read 💙
Being from North Carolina, I am very well acquainted with many wonderful people just like your Grandma!!!! Thank you for this story! ❤
Thank you for the story 😂
POOR POOR EUNICE! THAT LAST LOOK BROKE MY HEART FOR HER!
It's always funny, but desperately sad at the same time. I feel sorry for Eunice.
These sketches were the best of the whole show, these and all the Tim Conway moments are legendary
Carol Burnett was such a critical part of the show when she left the show loss a lot of laughs and relatability
Ed Higgins must have been designed with my own father in mind.. he acted out like that in restaurants all the time!
When carpet was a status symbol ...
When did they film my family at a restaurant!😂😂😂
I think this episode is from the 1970's
😄😄😄😄
After seeing all the people at the local Walmarts, that’s how I believe they would act!
At 7:20...love the look that Vicki gives Harvey when he toasts L' Chaim!
This is a good skit. Carol Burnette is always good. But the way her and the mother are talking to each other is reality. That is why I like hobbies that get me away from people.
One of my favorite skits!
I can't believe I watched this when it was on network TV!
I didn't realize how good those days were!
I love Mama's family but the best episodes are when Carol Burnett stars as Eunice. Eunice is sad, disappointed with life. Knowone gives her a break or respect. I think we all relate to her. She is a comic genius. I have this show on dvd and enjoy watching it.❤
No one.
Yes, it was Eunice acting out and yelling that ultimately go them thrown out but all she wanted was to have a nice experience in that miserable life of hers and those two human anchors were hell bent on making sure she didn't have it by griping endlessly about everything and anything. I always felt sorry for Eunice because as funny as the character is and as brilliant as Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman and Vickie Lawrence in their respective roles are, Ed and Mama would not take their feet off her neck. Eunice reminds me of many people I know who so desperately yearn for a better life yet are always torn down by their alleged loved ones. They truly are a toxic brew. But again, how brilliant are those actors and everyone involved in The Carol Burnett Show? I will never grow tired of watching it.
If she knew better, then the sin was hers.
It is a Keeping Up Appearances style skit.
@@STho205 Really? I dunno. I thought it was just that Eunice had this really great opportunity -- to have a free meal at an upscale restaurant; something they would Never be able to afford otherwise -- and just wanted to just be able to truly enjoy it.
That's not keeping up appearances to me. She just wanted to have a great night out and her frustration that her mother and husband were being Debbie Downers was frustrating her to no end.
I felt bad for her because there are people in the comments saying she should know her place.
There's nothing wrong with wanting better. We all want that
@@LA_HA Yep. They were going to wear on her until they hit her last nerve. It was just how they were.
@@AmyLSacks Sometimes, people just mess with you just to mess with you. If a comedy skit, so it's not super serious. I just don't understand people who are saying she's too country to have expectations of better experiences.
That's so bigoted against people like Eunice to say they're lower class with Southern accents, so being in an upscale restaurant in the city is not for the likes of her.
Like, What?
@@LA_HA Yeah. It's not the accent that's the problem with this family. :)
Vicki Lawrence was so convincing as "Mama" that you almost forgot she is not a real person and just Vicki Lawrence dressed up as a fictional person. It's like when Flip Wilson pretended to be Geraldine (for those of you who are old enough to remember who Flip Wilson was!)
The level of cheap is priceless!
Carol Burnett clearly and touchingly portrays Eunice's disappointment in her life and lot, yes she is obnoxious but she is also deeply sad and because of it, loveable. What a talent.
I know.
I truly felt sorry for her at 12:25
The disappointment on her face 😢😢😮
She’s an incredible talent, she even got me hating her character . Actually they are all amazing talents . Truly amazing and American royalty for sure .
Every sketch is a classic. I love it. So funny!!! They really immerse themselves in a roll.
*role
Wow what talent and humor , I haven’t been entertained like that in decades lol 😂
I can still hear my grandma 😂 laughing while we all watched this Together… a lot of the classics on TH-cam is a bitter sweet for a lot of us 😢 rip to my “Ma” I ll definitely can’t wait to hear that laugh & see that smile
I feel the same about my mom. She loved the Beverly Hillbilly's. I was a teenager. On my way out the door to no where she would say "oh, I wish you would sit down and watch this with us" I thought it was the dumbest show ever. I would give anything to be able to watch the Beverly Hillbilly's with mom and dad again.
Ed saying "lehayim" for the toast had to be an ad-lib by the late-great Harvey Korman - RIP
L'chaim!
By the way, it. Is a traditional toast.
It's funny how Eunice is the only one who wants to follow rules of etiquette and dining out with sophistication but then becomes the sole cause of their being kicked out of the restaurant.
It’s her abrasive nature that is offensive
When they was asked to leave the restaurant and Eunice look back and gave the most saddest smile.
I felt that. 😞
"Well I got even with her" out comes the roll of toilet paper. LMAO!!!
Love this show!! I watch it every night... 😂😂😂😂😂....
I love carol Burnett show it's my favorite scatch
I used to laugh so hard at these skits, I was only 12 when they introduced the Harpers. Mama pulling the stolen toilet paper out of her purse made me laugh so hard 50 years ago, it still makes me laugh to this day! 🤣😅
Awesome it's the truth back in the day not saying it's okay I'm so glad today it's a little better much love ❤️
Carol and crew had the best show back then!!! Too funny😂😂😂😂😂
When she stole the toilet paper 😂
Never stopped being so funny 😂
These are totally wonderful. Like a combination of Tennessee Williams and Tracy Letts
Great video ! I love watching Carol Burnett on cable Tv
Yea and a channel that shows these old shows has only 1/2 an hour for Carol Burnett and friends coming on at 11:00 pm what a sin. Had my way she would be on for three or four hours a night starting at 7:00 pm
$15 for a meal in fancy restaurant, That is pretty cheap compared to todays prices
Thats $80 in todays money. So pretty standard fare for a ritzy place.
Sure is. However, back in the mid-70s, minimum wage was less than $2.50 an hour, house payment was $175 to $250 monthly, average income per household was $12,000 a year. Inflation is always higher than a blue collar worker's wages. Women, sadly, always been paid less than men and bare the blunt in a lot of cases, including being single parents. 😎
$15 will barely buy you a meal at McDonald's these days!
@@exexalien Sad but true!
It cost that much for a meal at the fast food place.
The irony here is that while Eunice is criticizing her mother and husband for their negativity, she's more full of rage than anybody.
The craziness gets to her unfortunately flying off the handle is the cross she has to bear for not finding the courage to leave .
@@Llllwww-x3t This has NOTHING to do with courage. She is there with others, its not like she is there alone. Her actions directly impact them. She cant just get up and walk out.
But you say nothing about their crass behavior. Those 2 can drive anyone to "rage". Her rage is justifiable. The fact that you defend their crass behavior and chastise her for having a response to it is telling.
@@Gia-mg5nx if you have a boyfriend, husband, or son, I feel deeply sorry for them.
Exactly. On the one hand, I feel for Eunice that she’s frustrated that her husband is a cheapskate towards her but spends on himself generously, and she just wants to do nice things sometimes. But, while on a few occasions the mother was being a little too finicky and difficult, Eunice was also being pretty toxic by criticizing her husband’s choice of food, and being way too rude to her mother over and over and over again. Every single person in this group was unpleasant. Just… ugh.
#TheCarolBurnettShow Carol was/is talented enough to do very smart comedy , funny and sociologically relevant. To me that sketch is really more subtle and saying than it seems at first ;)
Next time Eunice should leave them home.
The skit wouldn’t be funny if mamma and ed were left at home 😂
This is the edited version, missing a LOT. The full version in on youtube.
My favorite show right here at a show to look at
Eunice always had high aspersions.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😥
too bad she did not keep better relationship with Ellen, surely her sister married up and moved up in the society and could have helped Eunice if Eunice was aware of her own shortcomings instead of nitpicking at everyone else's.
***aspirations ***
@@julijakeit but then is anyone really aware of their shortcomings
@@julijakeit Ellen wasn't a nice person. Once when her brother needed money and asked her for it she refused right in his face. This was on an episode of mama's family.
@@julijakeit Ellen didn’t want a better relationship. She gets joy from feeling superior and putting Eunice down.
I love it hilarious I remember going to Buffett some of family would pull out baggies fill up and place in purse😂😂😂
Once again, this is the cut version.
I noticed. The moment where Mama demands a substitution and argues that at Fat Jack's they substitute, to which the waiter responds, "this isn't Fat Jack's," has been deleted.
Love Harvey!!!
When Eunice starts to sing lol
I legit feel seen with this skit!
Mama taking the toilet paper!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I LOVE MS. CAROL I REMEMBER I USE TO WATCH HER SHOW EVERY SATURDAY. SHE IS AN ICON THE FAMILY SKIT IS THE BEST LOL 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is One of my favorite sketches 🙂
My son Mark took my husband and I for our 50yrs anniversary to Alexander’s restaurant here in Orlando. I have never been in a restaurant where they wear tuxedos everything about the place just shocked me. They gave us the menu and I asked the tuxedo guy there are no prices on the menu new to me. My son said mom don’t worry I am paying. Yeah but this is going to be expensive and then he gives the tuxedo guy a tip of a lot of money. With that money I could have eaten for a month where prices are posted. He would not tell but he paid a lot of money. Joe and I are married almost 63 yrs. I don’t think my son will take us out I am fined with that.
Mama with the toilet paper🧻😂
Classic Carol !!
This is one of my favorites!! I wish the "Monopoly" sketch would get posted. :)
Just type: carol burnett, monopoly.
it’s already posted by someone on YT I saw it the other day actually
@@AKayfabe I meant better quality, at least 480p...everything so far posted on YT is crappy quality.
Hysterical
7:25 “What the hell is this?”
You’re telling me. Looks like they’re drinking Pepto.
9:17 Eunice finally cracks! 🤣🤣🤣
Too funny! Eunice wanted everyone to behave with class and dignity, but in the end, her big mouth ended up getting everyone thrown out.
The look on Eunice’s face at the end; she was humiliated. All she wanted to do was fit in.
Their first mistake was brining Mama with them.
@@LBF522 It was a tv show, not real. You had to have a story line.
So true. In reality, they would never take out in public someone who always complains
Mama acts like my 20 year old son every time we go eat😅
The Eunice character dresses like a 1930s woman. This is hilarious.
They're called chow lines in the Army.
laverne and shirley did a situation similar to this and it was a BLAST.............HI NEIGHBOR BOOK II......
One of my favorite Family sketches! 😂Sorry Eunice could never catch a break though.
Anyone else notice the cut where Ed is holding his hat before he sits and then suddenly he's eating a piece of bread and his hat is in the booth? Where did the bread come from??? LOL
Carol was the genius comedien
Back when fine dinning was fine dinning.
With Eunice singing, the cows won’t give milk for a week and the chickens won’t lay an egg.
I love Mama's Family but I wished Eunice & Ellen were in it throughout the whole series. Aunt Effy too
Don't forget Ed and Mickey too.
Now this is pure comedy gold I always feel so bad for Mama
Sometimes the pathos overwhelms the humor in these skits. I remember seeing this years ago and wanting someone - someone else - to take Eunice back to that restaurant for a proper time there.
Show originally aired Saturday, February 7, 1976
Lol that's a real family 🤣
Eunice reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket from the UK comedy called Keeping Up Appearances.
Poor Eunice (sniff, sniff)....
Who let him in here 🤣🤣
You DEEUUUOOOOO if you WANT a SALAD!!
The moral of the story is: When you see these guys in a fancy restaurant, the word peaceful is declared a cuss word.
❤❤ I wish you been on all back classy movies like this about even cartoons how much these kind of movies brings a lot to Joy at home and funny and laughter is at home it's not about killing and shooting and everything else and I wish you been this bring back to the TVs so we can watch it at home maybe so much joy all kinds of cartoons like the olden days Like Bugs Bunny Three Little Pigs Roadrunner bunch of old cartoons that are buying cartoons where they have now❤❤ it's so awful with the kids watch and Finance on TV nowadays❤❤ that's why the kids are alive than they are now❤❤❤
4:41😂😂😂😂😂😂
A night out with my in laws!
Just put mama in a home. She's going to guilt trip you anyway. You might as well enjoy yourself.
Funny!
Is that Vicki Lawrence as Thelma?
Yes it is
@@julielee9959 i thought so.
Eunice sure did know about manners
The snobby lady: chocolate mousse
Glorified Jello pudding! 😂
