These shows were so fun! Jack Benny, captain kangaroo, every other commercial in those days were for cigarettes. I found ones the flintstones did for Winston right here on you tube. The flintstones sold beer. On shows every other commercial was for smokes and everyone on the shows smoked! So many kids from that era grew up smoking including me. Now I'm on oxygen 24/7 and have had lung cancer. My husband had surgery for lung cancer but passed away from lymphoma. That was terrible the way they peddled those things.
I saw a 'blooper' like this that wasn't supposed to be aired in about 2001 some lady news reporter freaked out and cussed at her camera people and the whole thing was recorded secretly. It was awesome she was shown to be the jerk she really was.
I remember watching Discovery '63 with Frank Buxton and Virginia Gibson ... shocked that I can remember their names after all these years, but I always watched it in the early '60s
daviddratcliffe1 Best straight man there ever was and he knew that any laugh the people around you get makes you look good too. Contrasts that to the later stage hog egoist comics that came along.
Based on stories I've heard about Dish's 'Iron Fist' treatment of customers and employees alike, you'd think a better name for them would be 'Douche TV'!!
Considering that Kent's micronite filters had asbestos in them and the cigarettes had tobacco, it's no wonder that guy messed up. He probably found out what he was doing to himself.
I remember that trashy , low class show queen for a day. I was just a kid & my reaction was pew It definitely predated Jerry Springer & the Kartrashians by 40 plus years
People in the 50s were so uptight?! LOL. You can say this with a straight face while more and more "uptight" people nowadays are getting offended or upset about any little thing? Political correctness has made the majority into uptight gits.
When I was a kid in the 50s you couldn't say poopie out loud in mixed company, let alone on t.v., and that's a fact. Reactions to things even a little off-color on television were straight out of the Victorian era. So those shows are humorous to look back on. Today's p.c. culture is more profane by a magnitude of ten, and people are difficult to shock. You can be as filthy or provocative as you want as long as you don't puncture politically sacred cows. The results of doing that at present are scary, not funny. You can lose your job or your bank account.
While a few things slipped out over the air, not many of these things actually went out. They were very CAREFUL in those days because the FCC license required a compliance with Standards of Good Practice..
fonso1030 So that was Arlene Francis at 02:24 the arpege girl? My eyes are not good, and the video is unclear, but that voice stood alone. Funny how some stand out...with a far nicer tone than most...and her voice certainly did stand out.
*Liked the skit w/Elaine May & Mike Nichols...they were a famous 'comedy duo' in the 'old days' so this was an actual skit, not a 'blooper' or 'gag' spot...May became a writer/producer/director in the '60's...and so did Nichols* ( *I think he had some small successes as a 'Director'* )
Nichols directed The Graduate, Catch-22, Carnal Knowledge, Silkwood, Biloxi Blues, Working Girl, The Birdcage, and Primary Colors. May directed The Heartbreak Kid and (ahem) Ishtar, and wrote Heaven Can Wait, Reds, Tootsie and Labyrinth.
Lest we be heard to complain about the quality of televised entertainment today...not all these are bloopers. Behold the infancy of "Almost Live TV" when videotape gave you maybe one chance at a retake but plenty opportunities for setups. I don't doubt Jack Benny gets one but his recovery is priceless. Two entertainers you dared not pull a gaffe on: Red Skelton (who you don't see here) and Henry Morgan (who you do). Indeed, that's a William Shatner sighting at 9:55, and even then he shows. Presence. An all-too-brief sample of Nichols and May. I can only guess the host at 11:25. And sadly without sound at 23:13 is Discovery '63, which I very likely haven't seen since...well, '63...with Frank Buxton and Virginia Gibson.
kent's micronite filter had fiberglass or asbestos in them, don'tcha think? For that smooth taste! I thought that dancer was gonna drop her! the guy almost hit his nail with that hammer!
Winston cigarettes was the sponsor of the Flintstones when they first came out. Think they weren’t targeting kids for future customers? Fred sang “Winston tastes good like a cigarette should “

I think that's also Arlene Francis in the clip at 22:48. She guest hosted Jack Paar's tonight show 52 times from 1958-62 and also helped fill in after he left while Johnny Carson was preparing to take over on four more occasions. I wish I knew who the lady was doing the ill-advised hand stand.
Kesham was the original Clarabelle. He was the second to play Chief Thunderthud on the old "Howdy Doody Show".It's false that no one saw his face. You left out The Bubble Dancer from "The Soupy Sales Show !!!!
These are the original TV bloopers long before Dick Clark and few ever saw them. People really like the stars they grew up watching and you're probably too young to remember most of these people. I love 'em because I'm a geezer and they make me feel like, well, a geezer.
@@Domarius64 Honestly, I thought the Jack-Benny-and-the-stripper clip might have been something real. Notice how he had two guys just offstage with a wheeled piece of wallboard they could haul out as a "screen?" That must have been planned in advance. But the shot with the boobs? That never could have aired, not even by accident. That took forethought, and had it aired it would have been a career-killer for anyone involved.
Very enjoyable in the beginning when even bloopers were cute, people laughing at themselves. Then the language became foul as well as the actors angry and crude and no longer funny or enjoyable to watch.
I love bloopers... I remember one from 'Pardon My Blooper' that said, Dad will love Wonder Bread's fresh delicious flavor, too... So remember....Its Wonder Bread, for the Breast in Bed!
The clip was fitness show hostess Debbie Drake. The song was an audio clip of Mr. Greenjeans from Captain Kangaroo singing a song entitled "Spread Your Tail".
As I watch these old clips from live television of the '50s, I'm struck by how primitive they seem -- and yet how real they are. The medium was being invented. Nothing was polished. And these were real people, trying to figure out how one performs on television. Oh, the content is interesting enough -- this must have been the equivalent of a studio party reel. Some clips could never have aired. But far more interesting to me is that this is the way people who worked in television during its infancy goofed off.

For 55 seconds, Jack Benny doesn't say a word...he just lets the crowd react to him. The master of comic timing, An absolute legend of entertainment.
I lost it when the perfume lady just yelled "SHIT!" 😂
The fact that it was Arlene Francis was even funnier!
Growing up in the 60s . Best childhood memories.
The video quality is just as good as it was on our old TV with rabbit ears and aluminum foil extenders.
Now I understand why my dad's house kept falling apart. He used those damn Lexon nails !!!
Jack Benny is one of the funniest people who ever lived!
Historic Home Plans True! 😆
If you grew up at that time you might have loved this. Such a fun era.

That was the first time I saw that Jack Benny sketch. Now that was funny !

This is why I miss live TV every day.
Jack Benny - true comedic genius. They don't make them like him anymore.
Jack Benny said more with a look than anyone
daviddratcliffe1 Best straight man there ever was and he knew that any laugh the people around you get makes you look good too. Contrasts that to the later stage hog egoist comics that came along.
Groucho used words better than any other comedian; Jack used silence far better than 90% of comedians can use words.
My opinion. That bit was planned.
We watched jack benny all the time good clean show
The Master of Pregnant Pauses.
Captain Kangaroo was the most wonderful person. Dearly miss that man.
Host: "Why do they say Never Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth?"
Groucho Marx: "Have you tried the other end?" 🤣
the jack benny one was an actual skit.
I hope it was
Thank you so much for a great laugh.
Betsy Palmer was a beauty.
It's amazing to see the quality of Dish TV hasn't changed over the years.
Lastman Standing ‘
When it first came out I only got the networks and cw it cost $22
Based on stories I've heard about Dish's 'Iron Fist' treatment of customers and employees alike, you'd think a better name for them would be 'Douche TV'!!
@@adamantman3200 I never bit because I have seen it go out at bars that have it when a storm came. I said " No Thanks ! "
@@dagnabbit6187 "DAGNABBIT" is one of my favorite words. I use it all the time, dagnabbit!
aaaahh I miss Captain Kangaroo. sob.
vxenon67 are you calling Captain Kangaroo an s.o.b?
Some of this was truly warped!
are you complaining?
"If the unexpected happens, I never panic."
(Something unexpected happens.)
"SHIT!"
That surprised me from Arlene Francis my grandmother I never met.
Some of these were really funny! Thanks to whoever posted them.
I bet George Takai sends that dude Christmas presents every year
This is so funny 6:50 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love Bloopers and mistakes !
And that true tobacco taste!
Considering that Kent's micronite filters had asbestos in them and the cigarettes had tobacco, it's no wonder that guy messed up. He probably found out what he was doing to himself.
Picky, picky...
I remember that trashy , low class show queen for a day. I was just a kid & my reaction was pew It definitely predated Jerry Springer & the Kartrashians by 40 plus years
Still not quite sure what the blooper was on that Linkletter ad segment, except that he couldn't stop laughing.
Just your average case of the live TV giggles. 😁
Note to self: Do not buy nails made of Lexan.
Ah, the days of live television!
Actually most of this was on tape.
Love that!LOVE PAT cat girl!!🧜♀️sirena!!
Mr. Clean looks very different from what I always remember...
Maybe it was his girlfriend, lol!
ruff! ruff!
Mrs. Clean.
Mr. Clean and jerk
That's Betty White at 15.50 talking about "Love Pat" makeup. What a knockout!!
Heru- deshet I don't think it's Betty White.
No it’s not
Bsrbara Britton of Mr. and Mrs. North fame, I think, with a different hairstyle than usual. That's her voice, though.
Cliff Arquette, great ad-libber. Wish I knew who he was paired with...
Somebody posted that clip as part of a blooper reel, and I asked that same question. Someone answered back that it was Kay Medford.
Kent's famous Micronite filter was asbestos! LLOL!
Light 'em if ya gottem!
'Goddamnit...no more beads.' That was Elaine May.
Thank you. She was splendid. I wish I knew who all the others were.
This is a good one. People on tv in the 50s were so upright and rigid that when they screwed up or were spoofed by the control booth it was great.
propriety was more important then

So funny! William Shatner, wow !! What a surprise too.
Definitely a CBS gag reel, possibly shown at a company gathering.
21:15 I remember Mr. Green Jeans singing "please spread your tail" to a peacock. Maybe heard it once when I was 4 or 5 - weird
ferociousgumby I can't find the song on TH-cam
Cool. Thanks for posting!
At 7:26 Jack Benny actually did accidentally trip.
Linkletters stoned man !!!
22:50 What *was* she thinking??? ... And in a *dress* too. 😂😂😂
22:10 -- That's Cliff Arquette without the Charley Weaver costume.
Genuine smiles ..
That bunny in the begining is so cute. Hug bunny.
I had heard the "circumcised" / "circumscribed" comment before on audio - I never realized Adlai Stevenson did it!!
Neither did he!
While a few things slipped out over the air, not many of these things actually went out. They were very CAREFUL in those days because the FCC license required a compliance with Standards of Good Practice..
excellent find
I think I've seen that lady "undress" at 22:55 in a blooper clip years ago! Funny stuff, and thanks for re-posting that classic bit
John Daly could adlib with the best of them.
I almost woke up my baby I screamed so loud when that fool said circumcised 😬😩
I'm here enjoying.. 2019
I like The Flintstones smoking! Yup-good for ya!
I kinda like this, shows early TV is no different from TV today
Shatner at 10:30: "Wow, that. Guy. Really. Packs. A. WHALLOP!"
Robert Haworth Like when Captain Ron Tracy kicked his butt 3 times in "The Omega Glory"!
Funny, but embarrassing for Adlai Stevenson to make that slip in front of the whole United Nations! He recovered pretty well tho.
9:03 the one moment I thought Bill Cullen was going to break up the place with a remark...and didn’t!
Did Arlene Francis just say shit?! 👏👏😂😂
fonso1030
So that was Arlene Francis at 02:24 the arpege girl?

jUSTpLAINbRAD that’s her, and yes, I agree, everything about Arlene stood out, she was a class act!
Just like on our old Philco cabinet BW TV.
The TV crew punk'd Jack Benny good at 7:00!

Gerry Nightingale
May is absolutely hilarious in the Woody Allen film Small Time Crooks.
Nichols directed The Graduate, Catch-22, Carnal Knowledge, Silkwood, Biloxi Blues, Working Girl, The Birdcage, and Primary Colors. May directed The Heartbreak Kid and (ahem) Ishtar, and wrote Heaven Can Wait, Reds, Tootsie and Labyrinth.

I saw most of these as a a kid in NYC.
And look at you now!
0:54 "Are you going to hunt for Indians?"....... Oh...... My......... God...... That would never go over today.
im1who84u squeezing bosoms?
0.16 is even funnier. Not sure that a Christian right corresponds to a Jewish practice.
He probably meant a Christian "rite", but it's not, it's a Jewish one.
that's what I thought. I'm from Oklahoma. they're US citizens.
It shouldn't have gone over then.
I miss Captain Kangaroo and dipping Oreos in milk.
Art Linkletter!
Captain kangaroo had a magic drawing board that fascinated me. And one of my favorite trivia questions is what is Tom Terrific's dog's name?
Just in case no one got back to you by now: Tom Terrific's dog was Mighty Manfred.
Love to watch listen to bloopers !! Its so funny so many of them have me die Laughing so hard !!

Maybe, maybe not. The Flintstones was geared largely towards adults, even though it was animated.

Allright I won an iron lung! 😲
Man that is a bunch of really rare clips.
The Benny bit was obviously a put-up job by the crew, to embarrass Jack. It worked, but he's such a pro.
Your behind is an extremely steamed machine!!!!
9:55 - satisfying video of a young *William Shatner* getting a beat down.
Didn’t show the live Alpo commercial by Ed McMahon. The dog wouldn’t eat the food. Hehe.
@ 18:10 ..... Absolutely hilarious!
There aren't many actual "bloopers" in this. It's mostly gag reels that were never intended for air.

DAVID BADGLEY - pegbars is right - a lot of these are just gag reels, not actual bloopers. Eg. the surprise stripping.
