No body ever did a better impression of Johnny Carson than Tommy Smothers. Even a a do it quickly from his brother. Easpecaly the mannerisms. He does it as a compliment to Johnny. It also at least is there way of saying Johnny Carson was the tops in late night and gave us all Opertunaties. Especially just liked every day people. 😁
Hey! Can Tommy come out and play pilot? Only if mom still likes him best and gives him his yoyo back. I met Tom and Dick, in person, at the turning Stone Casino in Rome, NY back in 2000. It was the best night of my life to see their show and backstage in person with them. Tom and Dick... I thank you very much, and for the autographs too. You guys are still the best.
@@bebo5558 Man I sure don't remember a time when the Smothers Brothers wit and timing haven't been perfectly excellent, and seemed honed to a razors edge as far back as I can remember. I'm 66. They've truly got natural talent. Their comedy genius is timeless. Like with Laurel and Hardy, only with a different style. I absolutely loved watching the Smothers Brothers during the sixties. I still love watching them every chance I get. They never fail to make me laugh.

People praise comedy like this for not cursing but I feel it hits a bit deeper than that. It's guilt free comedy, it just makes you feel good. Really going to lose a lot when this type of comedy dies out.
They are just as funny in this skit as they were in the 60s. I also loved Pat Paulson for president. That was also funny as well. It’s nice to see them again.
@@robertalan2427 Tommy just had to keep checking Dickies face to see if he was getting away with something...funny!!! from Alan Roberts to Robert Alan...
My dad gave their “best of” album when I was in grade school and love watching/listening to their stuff. My girlfriend doesn’t understand why I love these two but they are legends!
Loved the Smothers Brothers forever! Got to see them in person in Atlantic City in the 90's ! Totally hysterical! After the show, we spoke to Tom & Dick ! No pretenses! The way they appeared was the way they are! - kind,generous & funny! They let us take pictures with them ! The photo of my sister & Dick turned out to be the last photo she ever took,before we lost her unexpectedly! She had gotten the tickets as a surprise for me,since she knew how I loved them! Laughter is the best medicine so, I still listen to all their albums & it's great to see them on You tune! Thanks for showing this great routine - one of many!
I saw them in person in Nebraska many years ago and although they only did their old stuff, every one in the audience sang along and died laughing. It was a great time.
Holy Christmas, their banter sounds like our actual politicians BS'ing the public. This vid is a few years old but, wow, funny. They still have their timing. They make it look easy - I am sure they work hard to get an act like that together. Really funny about referencing their much younger selves.
It was reported online that Tommy had died before I commented... I was researching what happened... And now it's reporting only 12/26/23 How is this occurring? Tommy knows best. He is Loved and appreciated his entire existence. undermining their show was a path that never should have occurred.
I noticed that too. I squirm now to watch "comedy" shows. Don't mean to be negative--but I don't care for hearing alot of curse words and crass humor. This was funny--and the whole family could watch it. Why'd they get kicked off the air?
It wasn't liberals who cancelled the program back during the NIXON administration. The people who own/run tv stations are generally not liberals anyway.
qhsperson I disagree. The majority of people who run both the tv networks and movie studios, and direct films, are far left wing limousine liberals. The kind that don't ride the A train, send their children to integrated schools or have welfare shit living across the street from them. They live in ivory towers and are completely out of touch with the issues concerning Americans.
spideraxis Because it wasn't the liberals who had their show cancelled. It was the *conservatives*. NIXON had just won the election and CBS brass supported NIXON and was looking for ways to cancel the Smothers Brothers even though their shown was renewed for a 4th season. CBS cancelled the Smothers Brothers because of their ant-NIXON stance on the show.
Oh my, I almost forgot how hilarious the Smothers Brothers were, and still are. We need their comedy and a good laugh now more than ever. I hope they are still going strong in 2020 ....
@@THaulk Around 1964 or so my mom bought a Smothers Brothers LP that had the Mom always loved you more. I loved the album and would play it often. My older sister, by 2 years hated it. I think because I loved it. That was a long time ago.
An excellent book on the Smothers Brothers' fights with the network and censors is David Bianculli's "Dangerously Funny, the Uncensored Story of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour." It is a must-read for those who remember the original show.
SNL has had nothing for 20 years, and in retrospect, not _that_ much in the 20 before that. They made their name in the early years, in a 3-channel universe, with amazing talents like Belushi and Eddie and, let's be honest, ounces of top quality cocaine every weed. (And hey, given what we've learned about the importation and distribution of coke in the US since then, it's a safe bet Lorne has friends in _La Compañia..._ or they're blackmailing him.) They also focused on quality, because they didn't need to fill 2000 channels with 24 hour programming. I was only born in '79, but...Carol Burnett? SCTV? Bizarre? Surely more I've forgotten or never saw, too.
About 30 years ago I was in Chicago to pick up my wife and her family and Tommy got off the plane first (this is when you could go to the gate without a ticket). There was no one around except him and me. I said "Hi, Tommy," and he said hi and that was it. I wasn't sure that I'd said the right brother, but later confirmed that I'd scored on a 50/50 bet!
REST IN PEACE Tommy Smothers (December 2023, age 86).
You made us laugh, and you guys made great music. Another legend has passed.
Such a loss. Tommy Smothers was a treasure.❤
They were going back on tour in 2023. Very entertaining. I grew up with those guys. Funny and clean.
@@joeb5578never got to see them live.. helped me get through childhood
National Policy. Tommy has done that joke forever and I still laugh like the first time. The Smothers Brothers were genius comedy. Tommy. Ill see you on the other side.
It's great how they can do such a "clean" routine and still be so funny.
I loved Tom Smothers' barbs but funny remarks at the corrupt polical circumstances we had in the sixties. He was brilliant!
"It didn't take any effort"! im blowing milk out my nose!
The Smothers Brothers were a natural duet comedy team. I can't remember not laughing at any of their jokes.
I was sad when Craig Ferguson retired from late night comedy.
My Dad used to laugh like crazy at the Smothers Brothers. I miss him like hell.
Thank you Tommy for your fantastic comedic humor and songs in our life. Millions loved you.❤
What a treat no swearing, no smut, no F bombs..just pure comedy

I especially loved the skit about "Mother Loves you Best" by Tommy Smother. It never fail to make me laugh.
I love how Tommy can "turn on" the bumbling, studdering, lying, weird looks, storyteller extraordinaire and not miss a beat!
His facial expressions are genius.
Their routines are gold, but they have had years of success to hone them to razor-sharp perfection!

best physical Carson impression
For those that have not seen that impersonation of Johnny Carson in its entirety , check it out on TH-cam! It is spot ON!
It was better than a great physical impression... it was uncanny
Last time I laughed like that was 1969. 😂
Nice to remember the good old days when comedians like the Smothers Brothers were actually funny.
Thank you Tom & Dick!
Yeah but...ask Tom where Harry is.
Say goodnight Dick
They were good singers too.

Another one of my favourite Smothers Brothers episodes.🥰 RIP Tom.
Episode? This is Craig Ferguson's show
I love these guys
It's funny! And when they were deep in their skit the boys were there - just as young as ever. Thanks!

Dickie liked those jokes that only a few people would get.
No, I missed it! Genius 😂
After all these years, they haven't lost the touch.
I remember them when they first started and thought they had an original formula. Timing was one of their secret ingredients.
"We are not the original Smothers Brothers." That's where I lost it. Love those guys.
The explanation was got me. "They died in a horrible plane accident. One of them was not a pilot." :-D

Hello Rebecca
How are you doing today?
Proof that this kind of humor is NOT dead and needs DESPIRATELY to be brought back as an entertainment art form.
If you emphasize a word, you should spell it correctly.
If you feel the need to critique someone elses comment, than you are what is called an "anal retentive jackass"
@@marksloan5107 Leave it alone, will ya? pjzdreamz was just kicking a dead stick with a horse.

He's also a pilot!
@@seeharvester😅😅😅😅
After all these years, they still have it! Copied, but never replicated!
Who copied?
They were so crazy that people had to love them 🤣 ( I miss that kind of humor )
That was wonderful. When comedy was Golden.
"National policy." No truer words were ever spoken.
These guys are great. . .
They are the closest thing to Abbott and Costello we ever got. Just hysTERical !!! Love 'em to death !!!!
The smothers brothers
Sonny & Cher
The Irish Rovers
Laugh in
Some of my favorite memories from my childhood.
This skit is timeless!! "a lot of it is true"
I'm going to try that next time a cop stops me. Wish me luck.
It's good if they make so many jokes about politicians that they understand them super well.

Who the hell would possibly give this a thumbs down?...The people with more clothes?
the people that were trying to look for a meme of 2012 :I
The moreons
The same sort as he who had them removed back in '69, 'pearl-clutching' retrogrades.
definatly had 2 be the ppl with mor on clothes😁
Pilots
I saw them in person in Nebraska many years ago and although they only did their old stuff, every one in the audience sang along and died laughing. It was a great time.
This is one of the funniest comedy bits I've ever seen. BRAVO!
"then why d'you go up with me?" CLASSIC!
Just as 'on spot' and hysterical as ever! They have always been laugh-out-loud and side-splitting funny, without vulgarity....go figure. :)

They're still hilarious 😂🤣
They still have their timing and they still know how to milk a joke. Good entertainment

Milford Esau, WELL SAID they sure do with NO profanity!!! 😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸
My coffee came out of my nose.
what a classic bit, rip tommy, condolences to the families. great musicians too.

Or until the end of Covid!
Maybe I should just beat the cows with a dead horse?

Didn't need to use one curse word..

I always loved the Smothers Brothers comedy and singing!!
As a teenager I became a farm pilot! Farmer told me to take the manure and pilot here. Take the hay and pilot there...
Remember watching them in the 60's...and and a younger Goldie Hawn, shaking!
I miss Craig Ferguson..
I grew up with the Smothers Brothers.. they are still awesomely funny and right on. God Bless them both..
I don't believe in God, only The Smothers Brothers.
I come here about once a month to get a kick, national treasure.. these guys!
I love this. They are still so funny..
Hello Linda
How are you doing today?
Tommy is the "MASTER" of facial expressions.!
Just the right look from him brings on the laughs. I even laugh the second and third time I watch it.

No matter how many miles you accumulate they don't upgrade you to pilot
STILL FUNNY. HAHAHA

What a great routine! As funny as ever. Made me laugh. Love em.
