That show was of its time. 23 year old Steve Martin, 25 year old Einstein,( his brother is Albert Brooks, ) 21 year old Rob Reiner and 30 year old Mason Williams. Fingers firmly on the pulse of the counterculture audience that tuned in weekly.
I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know more about this guy before he died. All I knew was super Dave. There was so much more than that. He was a comedy genius!
I'd never seen Bob Einstein off-the-cuff before, a straight interview. As it was going I was thinking "Is he doing a bit here? Is he inventing a fictional Bob Einstein as... _the real Bob Einstein_ ...?
@Baci302 Bob Einstein was born in 1942; Albert was born in 1947. They also had an older brother, Cliff Einstein. FYI their dad was a famous comic. He was known professionally as Harry Parke. Parkyakarkas was a name of one of the characters he created. Bob and Albert come by “it” honestly. It's in the blood.
One of the best ways to learn is from someone who lived life on the edge and followed their hearts telling stories about their lives and what they experienced. You know you done good when you tell the truth and nobody believes it.
Super-Dave Osborne, with that signature "glare at the audience" when they laugh at something ridiculous he said. Nobody ever did it that well, before or since.
The first time I watched Curb Your Enthusiasm with my 20-something kids, I see Bob Einstein playing Marty Funkhouser and I blurt out, "Hey...it's Officer Judy!!" Kids: "Who the fuck is Officer Judy?" Me: "He's Albert Brooks' brother." Kids: "Who the fuck is Albert Brooks?" Me: You know..."Lost in America, Defending Your Life...The guy who played Paul Rudd's deadbeat dad in "This Is 40?" Son: "I think he does some voices on The Simpsons." It sucks sometimes being 40 years older than your kids. So sad that Bob is gone. I loved that guy!
"That boy ain't right.." but seriously you sound like a fun dad, enjoy your kids, even when their bein pain in the asses. lol i never got to watch curb with my dad, but i always think he'd enjoy the show alot
@@thewkovacs316 Hahahahaha...yeah...I couldn't do that to my kids. They have no connection to those things of my gen other than saying, "Look how young he was!"
I can't imagine anyone saying "You know how much I love the government" punctuated with a thumbs down, Like Tom Smothers did on that show, happening today. They weren't really ahead of their time since few have caught up with them.
@@thebrazilianatlantis165 not really. They actually sued CBS over this distinction. Lengthy litigation culminated with a (then) significant court case. CBS lost and paid dearly.
Steve Martin and Bob Einstein, sharing an office, writing comedy bits...wow!

legend. one of the highest batting averages of any comedian. so brilliant
The Smothers Brothers (AND THEIR GREAT STAFF) had the VERY BEST TAKE ON '60s POLITICS!
My dad loved Super Dave. Hearing his jokes reminds me of my dad’s deadpan dark humor. It was a sad day when SD passed away.
I’m glad I have this opportunity to thank this comedic genius for his accomplishments. Thank you for sharing your capabilities
Knowing now that he's Albert's brother you can see and hear the resemblance. I love them both. RIP Bob aka Super Dave aka The Funkman.

A deity of comedy. Super Dave and more. Delivery was impeccable.
see his salesman part in film, MODERN ROMANCE with brother Albert
SUPER DAVE CAN'T DIE! SUPER DAVE FOREVER!!!
This is amazing seeing him be this personable in an interview. I didn't know that he ever let that happen. :O

i hope you took the time to watch the brooks movies with your kids and show them clips from the smother's brothers, bizarre and super dave

I read the title and realized that I must watch
Bob Einstein was awesome, a genius. Ahead of his time. Very funny.
Great insight into the making of the show
RIP :-(
I always thought Officer Judy was Super Dave Osborne.
I can't imagine anyone saying "You know how much I love the government" punctuated with a thumbs down, Like Tom Smothers did on that show, happening today. They weren't really ahead of their time since few have caught up with them.
My Dad and I loved the "Smothers Brothers Show"...they were funny and HONEST, thanks to GREAT writers like Bob Einstien and Steve Martin!
I think I now understand why he was so good at playing Marty. His humor is totally aligned with LDs
What humour is that?
Super Dave FOREVER !! 🌷🍀
You will always be Super!
God he was hot🔥🔥🔥 even in his 70s i loved him
RIP Super Dave
Listen to Bob on the Gilbert Gottfried podcast. Very, very funny.
Bob Einstein, may have been made more famous for Super Dave Osborne cult classic television show,was a comedic genius move
Comedic geniuses like this don't exist anymore
Go back and watch super Dave singing on top of the bus, comic gold
I just learned that Bob's brother is Albert Brooks. WTF?!
And Albert Brooks's birth name was Albert Einstein!
I know, right? Incredible.
And their father was a grest comedian too!!
In the words of the enigmatic Su Tissue, "I guess everything's relative." #imajanitor #suburbanlawns
@@QuadMochaMatti Albert Brooks is now on Curb Your Enthusiasm, that's a little strange.
Why so rare to see him as himself? I prefer his authenticity to comedy
It wasn't cancelled. They were fired.
Same thing
Nixon nixed them!

Where do you get your ideas from?

Funkman!
Very funny.
What's up with his voice now

@4:01
So that hoarse Super Dave voice is phony? Or at least exaggerated like crazy?
can't help but think, all that success means nothing now. he's dead.
Truth isn’t funny.
Why is it almost never mentioned anywhere that Bob “Super Dave” Einstein was the brother of Albert Brooks? Two of my favorite funny guys. 👍✌️
