ABOUT SANFORD AND SON: The highest-rated half-hour series in NBC history at the time, Sanford and Son stars Redd Foxx as the cantankerous sexagenarian Fred Sanford and Demond Wilson as his son Lamont, also his business partner in the family junk-dealing business. To prevent his son from leaving home, and bent on having things his own way in general, Fred often calls upon such ruses as fake heart attacks or phony back ailments. Lamont usually sees through these subterfuges, but because he loves his father, he lets him think he's getting his way.

This killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aunt Esther: "Woodrow, put that bottle down before I unscrew your wrist!"
LOL
🤣🤣🤣
What A Woman!!! LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Damn 🤣🤣
Armory Brunot my personal favorite is woodrow...you came here with teeth....do you wanna leave with teeth...lmmfao ...EVERY TIME...
Anybody remember when Fred told Aunt Esther, "I could stick your face in some dough and make gorilla cookies"??? Classic comedy!! 😂😂😂😂
Yes, I am still on the floor laughing.
Yesss I loved that one😂😂🤣🤣
He also said one time that he could stick her head in the freezer and make some ugly sickles..lol.
The studio audience reaction to that was unreal. It seemed like they were laughing forever.

Aunt Esther was one of the best comedic talents EVER.
LaWanda Page is one of my idols!
Sheila Barnett period
@@moviegirl8648 9p99p9
Esther is a legend , I can’t wait to get old and talk shit like this
She was actually nice looking. They really made her look rough in the series.
As funny as they are....Martin and Pam can't light a candle to Fred and Esther. Their old, set in their ways smack talk is HILARIOUS.
100
Damn Skippy
@@taydafranklin7800 lol
Her delivery was genius
IDK do you really want to use Martin and Pam to prove your point? I don't think that show is worthy of too much criticism. There are a lot of better examples, like why not use Meet the Browns or something?
If you're feeling down; watch Esther and Fred go at it. You'll laugh so hard you have to feel better. It's pure comedic medicine!
Yes it is. 4-5-2022
What you said! I love this show even to this day. I have no problem binge watching it. Especially the episodes with Fred and Esther😂🤣
It's helped me with Covid, bless Esther and Fred!❤🙏🤣
Yeah there were hilarious, although I feel Martin vs Pam were funnier.
Funny you should say that; I love the show for its comedic brilliance, but it is also a tonic for me if I feel down.
Aunt Esther (Lawanda) is ALSO the QUEEN of the side-eye!
NOBODY pulls off a fierce, disapproving side-eye the way SHE did (to this day)!!
😒
Yesssssss 😄😄😄😄
That side-eye Woodrow gave Ester at :30 was pretty good too.
Real life sisters Esther and Donna
You're right about that!!
Desmond Wilson in the background trying not to bust out laughing ..... he was in the presence of comic legends, and apparently enjoying it 😁
At one point he did a spit take when he burst out laughing!
That laughter was real, and off the script.
@@jamaldavis8709 In this scene when Lamont busted out laughing, I almost lost it lol.

That's where I'm from lol
And Take this Wino Outta Here With You!
"The wrath of God will strike you down!"

it had my dying lol
Fred grabs an equalizer 🤣
Lamont was wrong for this, he knew aunt Ester was gonna cut up ..... witches,! 😆😆😆
✋🤝
He always jealous of Fred relationships!
He knew what would happen if Elizabeth's family showed up.
Lamont is just in the corner dying of laughter lol
He was totally wrong in this!
Lamont was the real devil in this episode.
Lamont definitely broke character in this one LOL
No. Everything went like he hoped it would.@@treywilliams2182
@@treywilliams2182 I'm guessing this was one of the few episodes he was allowed to.
Aunt Ester is by far the most memorable character of the 70s sitcoms.
Agree!
😅Yes!
Aunt Esther: "Let me at ha'! Ha' behind is mine!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Aunt Esther was so extra sometimes! LOL!
One of my favorite shows.
😂😂😂😂😂👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The way you wrote it is exactly the way she said it lmao
@@daveg385 yeah she's a beast! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lamont couldn’t swallow that drink for nothing when Aunt Esther said her behind is mine, he tried to stay in character lmao.
Lawanda Page played that character Aunt Esther real good!
I think she WAS Aunt Ester and made role come easy
I LOVED it when she called him a “Fish Eyed Fool”!! 😆😆😆
She was the best.
Brilliant
@Brian Schienbein Yeah, but _that_ "Karen" (Esther) had some PUNCH to her...unlike the screamin', cryin', *whinin'* , b!tch-to-your fake-@ss-"friends"-on-Fakebook "Karens" of today! :P
"You married your husbands and turned them into frogs." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅😅
This is perhaps my favorite scene from a classic comedy. Watching what passes for comedy now makes me want to cry instead of laugh. The comedic chemistry between Lawanda Page and Redd Foxx is on a supernatural level. Between the "three ugly witches" and Woody being dragged off by his ear, this scene doesn't miss a beat. The funniest show ever on television.
@@donschmidt8203 You described that scene perfectly! It was and is comic genius!
@@donschmidt8203 Well said. As much as it was a smash hit, it so underrated as among the GOATS among funniest TV Comedies ever on American TV. While shows such as "All in the Family" "I Love Lucy" nd Mary Tyler More rightfully belongs in any "top 5" list of funniest shows ever, got to say this. IMO it is a crime that later shows such as "Seinfeld" and" Friends" are also on that list among most TV Industry Historians & Commentators/Analysts. While Senfeld and Friends was also great shows in their own right, this legendary one blows them away IMO. And further proof that the 1970's/early '80's will always be the "Golden Age" and Best ever for American TV.
Aunt Esther: "She had the nerve to call us witches. Fred: "And she was right, you 3 ugly witches and you married your husbands and turned them into frogs." I can't! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Fred's response to Esther has to be one of the best lines not only in this entire series, but in the history of television sitcoms.
@@FischerFan I totally agree!
The guy playing woody wasn't the same in other episodes
@@edwardmoore5325 Wasn't The Guy who Played Uncle Woody The Same guy that Played Ned The Wino on Good times

THE GOOD OLD DAYS IN AMERICA WHEN WE COULD ALL LAUGH AT EACH OTHER AND STILL LOVE EACH OTHER.
very true
Truth right there
Amen!
I guess y'all forgot about this is in CALIFORNIA BLACK PANTHERS BEING SLAUGHTERED JAILED AND THE WATTS RIOTS
By MI by
Lamont was wrong for this, Lol. I lost it the first time I hear Esther say “Her behind is mind” LOL
Yeah, that is funny
Lamont was sitting in the background LHAO while his aunts were interrogating Donna!
Melissa Cooper LOL
Lamont did everything in his power to try to break Fred and Donna up, but to no avail
@@melissacooper4282
I was mad at Lamont when I saw this episode as a kid....but as I got older....I realized that Fred had moments where he jeopardized Lamont's relationships with his girlfriends on separate occasions. Fred and Lamont had moments where they drove each other nuts...but they (especially Fred) can't bear the thought of being apart from each other
I sure do miss all of them. May you all rest in peace. Comedy at its finest.
Amen accept for Lamont but I know there up in heaven having fun
@@FalconsFanForeverDonna is still living too, she's in her 90's.
And see ,, Lamont sitting in the background just killing himself with laughter .. Fred shoulda went after his messy ass too ..
Remember In The End Of The Episode, Fred Told Donna That He Was Going To Shove That Tiere/Separate Wedding Cake Down His Throat. He Might've Did It Off Camera.
Actually he did, Fred found out that Lamont orchastrated the whole thing, and went to shove the wedding cake down Lamont's throat......or as Fred put it: The new version of "Deep Throat"
@@seanlewis1148 : Good .. That'z what he get .. I like the character Lamont .. But for him to go and put his Aunt Esther in it was just low down and dirty ..
Fred did when he put two and two together and found out Lamont set the whole thing up.
Ikr lmaooo
" My sistah had class; our whole famlay got class"!!👅 - Aunt Esther 🤗
Donna you are nothing but three WITCHES!!!
(As she proceeds to stick her tongue out at Donna!!) LOLOL!!
@@raegasper3092 real life sisters Esther and Donna
@@kh-sg3rd they are not sisters. That’s actually false. People think they are but it’s been confirmed as false.
@@JhomasE yes it’s false they are not sister’s I researched it myself!
You can tell they were having too much fun while making this one.
How could you NOT? LOL!
"Come on here, Woodrow. Come on." The way she dragged him out of there. Lol!
I HOLLERED!!!😂😂😂😂
And Fred snatched that bottle smooth out his hands 😂🤣
😂😂😂
LOL
"Before i unscrew your wrist!"😭😭😭
@Shiquilla Bell Right😭😭
Ester was a true thug! lol
@@strezz23 On God😭😭😭😭
And that happy face Woodrow made when he wanted to drink had me screaming! 😆
What kind of mother do you intend to be to Lamont our favorite nephew?
The man in his 30s. They talking about him like if he’s still 12 or something 😂
I really couldn't stand Lamont and the way he treated Donna and Fred. He should've had his butt in his own apartment and stayed out of Fred's life with his busybody self, but then there wouldn't have been a show lol.
Lol I hated Lamont. He was a hater. He did his father wrong all the time
Infantilization much?? Lol gotta love familial dysfunction 🤣
@Draper Scott he was so disrespectful. He yelled at him constantly
When Donna called Esther a witch, I feared for Donna's life.
Sanford and son will NEVER get old to me. I laugh just as hard today watching these episodes as I did years ago. Aunt Esther and Fred are memorable CLASSIC. 😂😂😂
I really do appreciate them more as an adult. I was very young when it first came on and ended; I remember and like the spin-off simply called Sanford. When I go back and rewatch these episodes, I can see exactly why the show was so popular and vaulted both Redd Foxx and LaWanda Page into iconic comedic status! May everyone who was part of this show who have passed rest in peace!
@@DarlingNikki2 Your comment was very sweet. I'm glad you appreciate the show as much as I do. I've watched Sanford and Son from the very 1st show that aired in 1972 to the last show that ended in the late 70's of course I was a kid myself back then. But I still have just as much appreciation for those sitcoms now as I did way back when. Fred and Esther made that show iconic which is why even today, I still enjoy watching it.
The funniest to me was Fred in the courtroom. You wouldn't hear rhat today.
@mkl62 The courtroom scene is one of my favorite scenes. They did the clean scene and then the scene where Fred used the "N" word. I laugh every time I see either.
There were several times that he said the N word. And each time, it was hilarious. Redd Foxx was going to say what he wanted no matter who it offended.@@lexdee523
“Her behind is mine!” I absolutely lost it 😂😂 2:56 Lamont’s reaction 🤣
Right 😂😂😂
I read where some of the dialogue was improvised.... I believe Lamont's reaction to "her behind is mine" is genuine.....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Remember that he invited his mother's family knowing what would happen.@@josephvengen9989
Rest in peace LaWanda you were the best.
Raymond Allen the second Woodrow just passed away 2 days ago.
They were sisters in real life

In another episode..

To the best "Woodrow" (Raymond Allen); may you now rest in eternal peace. Will be well missed. Passed 8/10/2020. 🌹🕯🕊
Oh no! I didn't know he passed recently.
@@misstee101 He was 91
@@andredupuis5461 he lived a long life.
@@misstee101 Yes, he did. 👍
@Freddie Davis know that!!... saying that Allen was the best one.
The chemistry between Fred & Esther is timeless!
The funniest part is when Esther said come on honey
Esther ain't gonna hurt'cha
Christopher Rogers it was a whisper but that’s what I thought I heard too😀😀😀
I never missed a show when Aunt Ester was on. FUNNY!!
As serial TV comedies go, NO one ever takes commands of scenes in episodes better than "Aunt Esther" (yes, beloved LaWanda Page). It's no wonder why Redd demanded that the Queen of comedy be on HIS show!
Redd Foxx and lawanda page were childhood friends in st. Louis.
Before Aunt Esther, there was Aunt Ethel (Beah Richards), but her demeanor was too nice, so she was morphed into Aunt Esther.
[Esther] "The wrath of God will strike you down!" [Fred] "And my Louisville Slugger will knock you OUT!" Probably two of the greatest lines EVER from Sanford and Son!
I wish they would have more episodes with Esther's two other sisters every once in a while they were hilarious together. 😂😂😂
For some reason, they all remind me of Flora, Fauna and Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty
Lamont couldn't stop breaking character 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Where will you be when the knock come sista?!" 😂
Nobody was more funnier then aunt Esther and mother Jefferson 👍👍😂😂😂
Yes, Hurray for Mother Jefferson.
Carol Burnett was pretty funny too, with Tim Conway :P :P
@@dalewilson908Loved Carol Burnett!! Especially The Family segments!!
Don't forget Florence!
Donna: :"You are nothing but three witches!"
Aunt Esther: "Who are you calling a witch, witch?"
@Slim Pickens Exactly! If they could have gotten away with it they would have said it! 😜
I wish she said "WHO U CALLIN A WITCH, ^^%$^%!?
I love the scene where Ester says to Woodrow!!! Woodrow, you came with teeth!!! Do You want to leave with teeth???
Even Lamont couldn't hold back the laugh in this one
some of those lines were not in the script.
Aunt Esther had me crying laughing. Sandford and Son still my favorite.❤️❤️❤️😂😂
2:20 to 2:25 LaWanda Page is pure genius in her role as Aunt Esther. I wish I had an Aunt Esther in my family.
I love Sanford and Son!
Me to
My favorite show ! :)
Our whole family's got class!😝
Sanford and son is my favorite childhood show
Notice Edgar chuckle when Fred says you're three ugly witches.
I just noticed it lol
Lamont being MESSY! 🤭😁😅🤣😂
"Let em at her! Let me at her! HER BEHIND IS MINE!!!!" LMAO!
Lamont,in the corner,trippin,enjoyin the show,his best delivery and no word was needed,classic comedy at it's best
I love it, & I still watch Sanford and Son till this day !
Me too!!
"Her Behind... Is Mine" -Aunt Esther😂
‘Her behind is mine’. She was hilarious.
Not a show on earth could "Top" this show. NBC knew it. Held #1 spot for more than 4 or 5 years.
Let me at her 😂😂😂 her behind is mine 😂😂😂😂
"I was talking to the ladies fool"😂😂😂😂
We had such good TV shows back in the day
One of the best shows made on TV !
Putting this show in the Friday night slot was ruthless. It proved lethal to The Brady Bunch.
Now this was comedy back in the day. Redd Fox was one of the best comedians of all times.
STILLLL MAKES ME DROP TO THE FLOOR IN LAUGHTER! 🤣🤣🤣
I loved when Lamont spits out his 🍷 drink laughing at Fred and Esther
That wasn't in the script.
@@harperstacey9604 Neither was the time when Fred pulled off her wig and she had her hair braided underneath. Lamont busted out laughing at that. I don't think that he knew they were going to do that.
Our whole family has class 😝 lmfao!!!
Get home from work take a shower and relax .sit back in my recliner with my beer and sandwiches especially in the winter time love watching Sanford and son .while it's cold outside iam enjoying a time of laughter watching them no matter how my day turn out ..this show always lifed my spirit up.thess are treasure collections shows like the show good times as well .that you can always show your kids and grandchildren's of what you watched growing up when you was young something they can pass on down too there kids kids.
Lamont just sitting back waiting like a little bad kid
0:14 the looks the ladies give Donna is PRICELESS 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sanford and son with such a classic, Fred was so funny and his prejudice behaviour is funny and not offensive. Laugh it goes a long way in life
I WAS TALKING TO THE LADIES FOOL LOL 😀😀 AT 0:43

Esther was so talented, and may she rest in peace.
Esther: "Fred Sanford, the wrath of God shall strike you down!"
Fred: "And this Louisville Slugger will knock you out!"
LMAO!! Classic Fred and Esther!!
I like that dude ask Fred do Donna do mean back rubs n Fred’s told him How about I rubbing this a cross your lips lol 😂 😎
The good old days!
Aunt Esther and Donna were sisters in real life..this was my Grandfather's favorite show when I was little. We watched it every time it came on
"Like to think that they're up there in heaven given the Lord more laugher...."RIP BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE MAY THE ALMIGHTY FATHER BLESS Y'ALL SOULS!!!! "THANKS FOR THE LAUGHER AND MEMORY....
"Let me at her"....her behind is mine!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
I grew up watching reruns of this show. I always liked the early seasons the best. Fred Sanford is easily one of the greatest tv characters ever.
Lol this episode is hilarious, poh Woodrow!! 😆😆 Ester wig and hat was on good, it never falls off 😄😄
LOI THIS EPISODE IS HILARIOUS POH WOODROW!!
🤔🧐😉The lady in the middle of the couch played on the jeffersons as a member of Florence church group singers
Yup, she had a few choice words for George a time or two.
I remember that episode of the Jeffersons when they sung with my girl Gladys Knight. What a pleasure that must have been!!
This Louisville slugger will knock you out... Too Funny.... And take this wine-o out of here with you...
Aunt Esther grabbed his drunk ass outta there too!! I holler at that part EVERY TIME!! My grandmom was bold and mouthy just like her! God rest her soul...RIP RUTH

A comedy classic that is timeless. Eric Herns. Marietta, Georgia.
Emphatically the #1 Black sitcom of all time!
Redd Foxx and Lawanda Paige are unmatched!!
I'm NW European pretty much head to toe and, in hindsight, I probably liked this series better than I did 'All in the Family'.
Our whole family got class....then she lick her tongue out at her😂😂😂😂
That's a different Woodrow. I liked the other one better.
The first Woodrow was played by Deforest Covan; later Raymond Allen played the second Woodrow; along playing Ned the Wino on Good Times and Earl, the body shop owner on Starsky and Hutch.
