There is a black guy where I to work at, we always are joking around he told one staff she was about 20 that we are brothers that we have different mothers, He called me his brother from another mother. she believed him. Then everybody started to believe it. well, it got back to HR they called us both in and told one of us had to quit because they do not allow family members to work here. we both started laughing. told the lady in HR that it was a joke that we started.
Me too, parents watched it every week, like we did not have much of a choice just two Tvs in the room 3 channels to watch of course the old man control the one in the living room, No VCRs then so we had to be at home to watch anything on TV if we wanted to see it
It still amazes me how young Sherman Hemsley was irl while playing George. He's only 35 years old here (just 11 years older than "Lionel" in real life actually. And Isabel Sanford is 56! She's 21 years older than Sherman!! Norman Lear has said in interviews that they loved Sherman Hemsley's audition for George so much they "aged" him with grey hair so he'd look more convincing. No one could have played these parts better!!
Did not know all that. it happens on a lot of shows especially soaps, wife watches General Hosptial the same situation one woman is just about 10 years older than her son in real life, also on Blue Blood the same way Frances and Grandpa,
Actually known in this episode as "Louis" (as heard at 3:32). Played by Charles Aidman. Also on this episode, Helen was played by Kim Hamilton, and Jenny by Lynn Moody.
Archie Bunker never used the "n" word on the show. When Jefferson dropped the n bomb and Bunker said he hasn't used that word in three years, it was an inside joke of the show.
Back in the seventies we could laugh and make fun of one another...no harm no foul. Today everyone is offended by and manipulate to profit from being offended by or seek separate but equal accommodations.
They were the same character, both racist and closed-minded, both thinking they were superior to the other. The writers were really making a statement with those two guys - and with the fact that pretty much EVERY other character on the show was NOT racist.
Archie is hilarious in this scene. "You mean your father ain't met that man?...This I've gotta see." "Did we miss anything?" "Just the start of WW III."
Those were (indeed) the days. As a little girl I would spend weekends with my Grandfather. We would watch Archie every Saturday night. I didnt understand a lot of the jokes, and my Grandfather wouldnt explain them fully to me. I guess a bit too controversial. But Papaw laughed, and he a man of great wisdom and character.
agree even I thought she was nice looking at the time, and I'm white growing up in a small redneck town, well I was sort of the outcast in my community but did not care
Wow. Those shows had a message and it simply was that it takes time to break the racist mold but laughter breaks it faster. As a generation X child I grew up hearing all races of boomers not wanting anything to do with the other even my own Hispanic grandparents didn’t believe in mixing. But knowing their views on race had no effect on us and we laughed knowing they were wasting so much energy on race only to end up dying bitter. We knew growing up that the boomers had to go. Those shows were funny and if you didn’t laugh then you are probably fighting a battle with yourself.
You know, this show touched on the fact that people are inherently racist, but it's not out of hatred, it's because it's a natural thing to understand people who look like you, and people who do the things you do, and at the end of the day, a man will stand with his race above all others, what else is there for him to do? I've watched Muhammad Ali speak about keeping the races separate, and he was NOT speaking from a place of hate, he just didn't want to see the purity of his race diminish, or for black people or other people to go extinct because the mixing of the races would make that happen. He wasn't wrong, and he explained it perfectly!
actually, happened to me, meet up with a cousin of mine who I have not seen in 30 years, just lost contact, we meet up at a restaurant their set a little girl about 9, she is black, my cousin wife said this is our granddaughter can you see the family resemblance, She started laughing, so I said yes, I do looks just like Her grandfather.refering to my cousin. she got her great grandmother, my aunt, eyes, we just sit and ate and as we was leaving we took a photo with her hugging me
I agree with George and Archie mixed marriages are wrong I have two beautiful white children I couldn't imagine them being mixed I feel the same way George and Archie does
@@johnwest7463 Archie Bunker was a caricature, as was George Jefferson in “All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons”. They were being parodied, not celebrated.

Ironically Archie and George were friends because they were different, yet the same! Genius writing!
This is the best way to destroy racism.....humor!

Exactly
That's a funny story.@@altha-rf1et
never could figure out who the black guy was standing behind them all when he heard what archie said and turned around
*"Jefferson you're gonna love this!"*
Archie instigating shit lmao
Yeah the look on George Jeffersons face upon meeting Tom Willis is freeking priceless 🤣🤣🤣
"Listen to that...I ain't used that word in three years."
And then Edith nodding like "I know...I'm proud of you, Archie."😂
R.I.P. Charles Aidman (1925-1993) (Mr. Willis), Carroll O'Connor (1924-2001) (Archie Bunker), Isabel Sanford (1917-2004) (Louise Jefferson), Mike Evans (1949-2006) (Lionel Jefferson), Sherman Hemsley (1938-2012) (George Jefferson), Jean Stapleton (1923-2013) (Edith Bunker) and Kim Hamilton (1932-2013) (Mrs. Willis).
☹
Charles had a small cameo on Goodfellas
You forgot Zara Cully, ( mama Jefferson) died 1979
I love Edith I ain't one of the relatives I am a good friend. She doesn't see white or black
He should have been cast in the Jeffersons. Fine actor.
I thought this show was boring as a kid...now I watch it over and over as a grown up cracking up every time like it's the first time. Genius cast!
Me too, parents watched it every week, like we did not have much of a choice just two Tvs in the room 3 channels to watch of course the old man control the one in the living room, No VCRs then so we had to be at home to watch anything on TV if we wanted to see it
Me too! Now I see it was hilarious. I can’t stop laughing at the episodes. This was a good show.
there is a lot of great tv out there, new and old, but I'm beginning to think this may be the greatest scene ever
Mother Jefferson sure did help make it
... please name the new, do tell...
@@incontrol5848 I'm thinking, I'm thinking......
I with you, Brother
I’m the family’s white friend 😂
The look on George Jeffersons face when meeting Tom Willis priceless 🤣🤣🤣 ROLMAF
And Achie comment "I got to see this"
2:46 - "Boys & girls, I hope." Epic.
I wish we could return to the days where we could laugh at our differences.

I couldn't agree more and how Archie is getting a big kick out of it
Carroll o Connor at his best we miss him so much
Glad that they replaced this TOM after seeing the other TOM all those years He just fit that role
Archie’s three quotes: 1: This I’ve got to see.
2. Hey Jefferson, you’re gonna love this.
3. Kick in the head ain’t it?
Priceless quotes😂😂😂🤣

YEa, the show had been on the air three years. This was an episode in the fourth year, about episode 11 or 12.
@Russell Collier He used the "N" word in more than 1 episode
Yes he did
Yes he did.
Mixed marriage leads to mixed dancing. I’m weak😂😂😂
Back in the seventies we could laugh and make fun of one another...no harm no foul. Today everyone is offended by and manipulate to profit from being offended by or seek separate but equal accommodations.
True that I'm 65 when I was young my friend's we called each other names nobody got mad.
Mrs. Jefferson was always so gracious. Great show
Groundbreaking television at its best. Whoever written for All in the family and The Jeffersons were splendid geniuses! Along with great casting!
I love the comments of “This I gotta see” and “Hey Jefferson, you’re gonna love this!”
And Edith God bless her just being Edith
If it was a real marriage that woman put up with a lot
Nobody mentioning Edith: “I ain’t one of the relatives, I’m just a good friend!!” 😂
I love the twist of to separatists toasting each other at the end😏
Real shit
They were the same character, both racist and closed-minded, both thinking they were superior to the other. The writers were really making a statement with those two guys - and with the fact that pretty much EVERY other character on the show was NOT racist.
The toast was classic
The cast and crew - esp the writers - of All in the Family at their absolute peak.
There is no equal to this show.
Sherman Hemsley and Carol O’Connor were some of the nicest people….
Archie is hilarious in this scene.
"You mean your father ain't met that man?...This I've gotta see."
"Did we miss anything?"
"Just the start of WW III."
This episode may have been the funniest in TV history.
No doubt!
1:49 LOOK AT ARCHIE'S FACE!!! PURE GOLD!!!
It's cause he's waiting for George to say what he wants to say, but won't because it's not his party. Lol
Those were (indeed) the days. As a little girl I would spend weekends with my Grandfather. We would watch Archie every Saturday night. I didnt understand a lot of the jokes, and my Grandfather wouldnt explain them fully to me. I guess a bit too controversial. But Papaw laughed, and he a man of great wisdom and character.
Mr Jefferson: your white!
Husband: and your black 😁
Archie: *looks at mr Jefferson* it's a kick in the head ain't it?
Lmfaoooooooo
Lol
Yup, Archie and George were good friends. Though they'd never openly admit that to each other, nor to anyone else!
George and Archie were alike!
And they end up drinking buddies at the bar! Great episode
@@jimsensenig892 They finally came together in a brotherhood of closed-minded, racist, backward thinking.
Best episode of the entire series.
Yes, they were alike. Norman Lear and the writers really made a statement in the series - and it culminated in this one scene.
That "Elks Club" & "i'm the familes White Friend" gets Me every time even in 2024 after watching this over 20 Times!!🤣
Mrs Willis looks like Janet Jackson
She does . She appeared on The Jeffersons , and Goodtimes
"Get near the door Edith, there's gonna be a race riot.." as Archie starts guiding Edith towards the door...
Damn, that Lynn Moody is fine.
agree even I thought she was nice looking at the time, and I'm white growing up in a small redneck town, well I was sort of the outcast in my community but did not care
Takes me back to my preteen days in the mid-1970s. Mother Jefferson was so funny. LOL.
i just found the old miniseries Chiefs started watching it, love the old movies as well from the 80's
This would never play today
Yeah cause people are too weak and sensitive to have a sense of humor anymore.
He hopes the children will be boys and girls…..fast forward to 2023……
Fast forward to 2023 he has to wait until the kids are 5 or 6 to find out if they are a boy, girl, trans or any other letter of the Alphabet

Archie makes the best faces and one-liners in this episode.
The irony of two men calling for racial separatism while toasting and drinking together.
Racism makes strange bedfellows.

Hatred is a learn behavior, people are not born racist.
Yesssssss thts th way
LoL never gets old idk why they really make a damn race riot out of comedy like this now days tires shits funny no matter what color you are too me
The special era this TV series which wasn’t “racist“… But dealing with the growing pains of OVERCOMING racism
The good ol days for sure
Archie's reaction when Jennie's dad tells him who is wife is. 🤣🤣🤣
Classic...Thanks!
Glad they replace this tom with the one we know every time I watch the clip think he just does not fit the character
Man too funny!!
5 thumbs up😂😂😂😂
The best of frenemies: Archie and George
Lynn Moody is the only one alive in that entire clip
The brilliance of 50 years ago compared to the tepidness of PC and not "hurting feelings" Say what you want about boomers, but we certainly had balls.
This was good bringing it out in humor
actually, happened to me, meet up with a cousin of mine who I have not seen in 30 years, just lost contact, we meet up at a restaurant their set a little girl about 9, she is black, my cousin wife said this is our granddaughter can you see the family resemblance, She started laughing, so I said yes, I do looks just like Her grandfather.refering to my cousin. she got her great grandmother, my aunt, eyes, we just sit and ate and as we was leaving we took a photo with her hugging me
Classic scene😂😂
So glad they didn't end up as the Willis's
Yeah, Tom's signature samba dance would never be the same
this Tom isnt as white as the later Tom.
2:45 update in 2022 - Lionel Jefferson cancelled for transphobia
You mean 2:49
The end. When they both agree wtf?
Crappy cam capture
🤣
In
No wonder they recasted the willis family, those actors sucked.
This snow flake generation can’t take this kind of television.
This actor was a better fit as Jenny's dad than the other guy on spin-off as well as her mom good actress.
I agree with George and Archie mixed marriages are wrong I have two beautiful white children I couldn't imagine them being mixed I feel the same way George and Archie does
Mixed children tend to be the most beautiful.
Nice to know you missed the whole point of the show. 🤦♂️
@@tsav32 what was the point
