"In a minute, in a minute, that's your middle name, Eunice!" I've quoted that line a million times after somebody told me to 'wait a minute', but I had forgotten which episode it came from. This has been one of my favorites since I watched it air originally nearly 50 years ago. My Mother took me to Atlanta Stadium when I was 10 to see Carol and her friends before the first episode aired. I have been in love with her ever since. And the part when she is pleading after Mama knocks over the lamp... pure gold! There will never be another like Carol Burnett OR her show.
they go round in circles with loving and cherishing, apologising, and then berating and arguing and insulting! so entertaining for some reason! i love me my mamas' family! watched it for years, they're brilliant comedians and all the characters are so distinctive
"Does thos mean "Bowling for Dollars"is knocked outta the box!!?" So damn good!! Comfort food for us 'ol guys! Lol!! My ABSOLUTE FAVORITES are when they clean out the attic with ellen..gone with the wind...the little foxes..tim conways "elerphant" story (outtake)...parent teacher conference with Maggie Smith...mamma's birthday with ellen... soooo many more! LOVE ya Carol!! If it hadn't been for this Covid crap I would've seen you live at the Riverside Theatre in Milwaukee...
Thank the Force [and MegaMike!], I FINALLY found this classic I've been quoting from, especially the "4th beer today!", for YEARS! Should've looked sooner but better later than never!
Carol Burnett said, at the time her Carol Burnett Variety Show was on the air, that they received letters from viewers telling the folks at the Carol Burnett Show that they knew people who were just like people (Ed, Eunice, Mama) in the Family skits. Life imitates Art. I've watched them over, and over; they are priceless, and always give a good laugh!
Just another regular typical family dispute between Ed,Eunice & Mama.Always loved these skits from Carol Burnette all three of these golden age celebrities these skits are timeless & so very comical too!!!:))😁😀😄😊🤗:))
That is a great dose of my medicine. Thank you so much for posting this. I really needed that laugh due to all of this shit going on in this crazy ass world today.
My sister Renee acts just like Eunice, especially when she is in the room screaming about the cobweb and then comes out and screams "you can stare at those 4 walls all day for all I care!". LMAO!!! And then Mama's comment "your Aunt Fern took one look at you in the cradle and said 'boy, this one's gonna cause you nothing but grief" and boy howdy, she was right!.
I'm currently reading Carol Burnett's latest book. She said that these were her favorite sketches. She also said that there were a lot of comedy moments in them, but ultimately these were very sad people.
very sad. Eunice is always day dreaming of a better life, Thelma is always pitting her kids against each other, nagging and wallowing in self-pity. Ed hates Eunice and Thelma.
🤷♀️ Mama @11:10 ... “That is your _fourth_ beer 🍺 *today!”* ... 🙆🏼♀️Eunice “And let me tell you somethin’, i needed *_every ONE of THEM!!_* 🤦🏼♀️ Talk about turning a tragic childhood into *hilarity!* 🤣💦🤧 Carol was the👸🏼 *_QUEEN!!_* 😉🙆🏼♀️😘💋
There’s nothing like a good comedy!

big fan of Carol Burnet Show and this skit.. i often wondered out of all the guest stars, there wasn’t one Python on her show, at least John Cleese. He would’ve made perfect boss to that secretary Mrs Whiggins…😄
This is exactly how you handle people who are rude to you. Especially if you didn’t start the fight. “Who are you to order me around? As far as I’m concerned, you can take a LONG walk on a SHORT pier!!”
Too close to home is right! Momma reminds me of my mother. On a good day she was "Mom" On a trying day she was "That Woman!" On an especially bad day she was "That *itch!" LOL 😂😂😂 It's easy to laugh about it now, but some days.... 😲😤😠😉
Me and my Dad. He's so bad I'm probably going to drop dead from relief when he goes. He actually grins from ear to ear after getting me upset. He lives for it.
Mama is always crabby as it is, but add in when someone is "sick" or recovering from something, and we all know how bitchful they can be. This is a great example of that LOL. So funny.
ricky parker yup. If I had been smart I would've video taped our fights. They would've been so funny to other people. They were insane. I wrecked my voice screaming for my rights.
😬My parents had a pact _never_ to argue🤬in front of us kids.😍 i witnessed _one_ disagreement when i was a teenager👱🏼♀️and was _convinced_ they were divorcing!🤦🏼♀️ Remember tryna decide who to live with?🙆🏼♀️ Finally told my parents what i thought🤔💭😢and they were like *_WHAAAAT?!_* 🤷♀️🙄🤨 *HAHAHAA!!!* 😅💦🤣😘
@tony gather Mama is definitely HATEFUL in The Family skits. She becomes nicer during Mama's Family, especially during the second life with Bubba and Iola.
The strange or even sad thing is, every family has a Eunice or a mama in it? and if you're saying not in my family, one of them is probably YOU?!?!? Lol... It's much funnier to watch them rather than having to live with them!.
This show is so hilarious but I can't watch it back to back like other comedies b/c I can only take one or two episodes a week of all that yelling and screaming, gawd! ..how did the actors take it all the time?? Sometimes it reminds me of my family growing up and then I'm like " aaaaaaa! Calgon, take me away!!!" :D :D (lol!)
just goes to show that the stone the builder refuse at the begining has become the corner stone at the end. Mama worshipped Ellen and disfavored Eunice. but who is always looking out for Mama? Eunice!!! The stone the builder refused in the begining!! LIFE IS GOOD!!
@@matteusconnollius1203 story of my life. My mom never appreciated me either. Always favored my sister. Yet unlike ellen my sister is not wealthier or more attractive than me so go figure
“Last thing I want to be is a nuisance” says Mama. Lord, Vicky Lawrence was so perfect as this bitter old woman

Great to see this Classic Retro throw back! Carol Burnett is Legendary. Decades of Laughs and great memories!
Nostalgic !!
"thats your 4th beer today" "I'm gonna tell u something I needed every one of them"😂😂😂
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Omfg that was great.
the writing and the chemistry they have and great comedic timing makes their skits hilarious..
Eunice reminds of sister Donna that what my mama said me and my mama used love this show. I'm still in love with the show.
This is a good show I am a fan of Mama's family. I love Vicki Lawerence as Mama.
omg me n u both I have the whole season on dvd
To bad they don't make shows like this today!
I love Mama too. You can't even find Vicki when she's in that character. I hope she received an Emmy for that role. I can't remember.
I have always loved vicki Lawrence, in mama's family and the Carol brunett show
"Does thos mean "Bowling for Dollars"is knocked outta the box!!?" So damn good!! Comfort food for us 'ol guys! Lol!!

"They're all legendary actresses, actors!!"
I love mamas fam I have the whole dvd collection
Marshan Thomas where did you find the collection if you dint mind me asking
Eunice had a good beer buzz going but of course mama killed it as usual! lol.

My grandma is from Arkansas & I have to say…Vicki Lawrence has that accent down perfectly. It’s like listening to my own grandma again!
"There is a cobweb as thick as a rope swinging over the bed! I'm scared to death it's gonna swoop down and strangle me in my sleep!"
+SymphonyBrahms lolol
+SymphonyBrahms lolol
she was funny as hell, loved that line
😂😭😭😭😭😭😭 Vicki had the best one-liners as they say
SymphonyBrahms omg😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of Harvey Korman's funniest lines ever: Ever seen a dumb cluck go CRAZY?
"Ed, it should be obvious to even you that hand cream don't rattle!"
I LOVE that part!!!😂😂😂😂
It’s also funny how Ed looks so upset that she said that...
“BOY HOWDY!” LOL I haven’t heard that in years!
That is a great dose of my medicine. Thank you so much for posting this. I really needed that laugh due to all of this shit going on in this crazy ass world today.
I love this one so much. Omg 😂 Hilarious !!
My Favorite show. MAMAS FAMILY.
I miss this so much!!
My sister Renee acts just like Eunice, especially when she is in the room screaming about the cobweb and then comes out and screams "you can stare at those 4 walls all day for all I care!". LMAO!!! And then Mama's comment "your Aunt Fern took one look at you in the cradle and said 'boy, this one's gonna cause you nothing but grief" and boy howdy, she was right!.
+Jilbere Hillenbrand "My, this glass is sticky." Great line!
She was nicer than the other sister.
This is when tv was great
I'm currently reading Carol Burnett's latest book. She said that these were her favorite sketches. She also said that there were a lot of comedy moments in them, but ultimately these were very sad people.
Dave Glo sad?
Is this the book about the show? Some of it she already talked about in One More Time.
Yes . I do remember many people would not watch these skits because they were too close to home.
very sad. Eunice is always day dreaming of a better life, Thelma is always pitting her kids against each other, nagging and wallowing in self-pity. Ed hates Eunice and Thelma.
Yes, these sketches have a strong dramatic slant.
True classic comedy at its best!!
"thats your 4th beer today"...." im gonna tell you somethin, i needed every one of em!" lol
and the look on Carol's face when she tells her mama off!
+lindy tuttle 😂😂😂😂
mama was so funny in this line
She sounds like me at one of my family reunions!
lindy tuttle 8h m bcuZ gyy
“They’re compact. They’re sleek. The trapdoors snap shut quick as lightening. And they’re YELLER!”
🤷♀️ Mama @11:10 ... “That is your _fourth_ beer 🍺 *today!”* ... 🙆🏼♀️Eunice “And let me tell you somethin’, i needed *_every ONE of THEM!!_* 🤦🏼♀️
Talk about turning a tragic childhood into *hilarity!*
🤣💦🤧
Carol was the👸🏼 *_QUEEN!!_* 😉🙆🏼♀️😘💋
Too funny. One of my favorite episodes
The Family skit was the best skit on the show!

one of their best skits this and when eunice's rabbit fluffy was cooked for dinner......sick.....laughter.....
lolololol they go too fast
Vicki Lawrence is sooo good I forget she isn't even older than Carol Burrnett 😂🤣
Still funny after all these years. ❤️
"u ever seen a dumb cluck go crazy??"😂😂😂
"My goodness this glass is sticky" Lord just come out and tell her directly😂 People like this lol
It kills me every time!
LMAO when mama threw the whole phone on the floor!!
Mega mike thank u so much for giving us this real comedy. So refreshing with the junk we see today. No political agend just plain laughs.love it
"mama were gonna be more understanding... Aren't we Ed? "
*Ed puts his hands up behind mama, gestures to choke her*
Priceless 😂😂😂
Love the show real classic
I can't believe how Mama just tossed Ed & Eunice's phone on the floor like she did...
Well, she was finished with it.
I can! My aunt would if she were still alive.
LaShunda McGahee OH WOW, I JUST NOTICED SHE DID THAT. SHE THREW THEIR PHONE DOWN ON THE FLOOR. HAHAHAHAHA.
M NICE lol
This is my oldest sister and our mother. LOL Bitched about her, but cried the loudest when she passed.
Talk about family disputes & squabbles.Mama & her family are really comical & so very quirky!!!:))😁😀😄😊🤗:))
Eunice needs something stronger than beer to deal with Mama.
Your're both right... they both needed a joint to deal with the other and po ED....
yuwonder80 Lol
Typical pot smoking loser...
Annette Jenkins
sha11235 omg you are so right, lol
Mama would drive me CRAZY! LOL
it's time for bowling for dollars!
These sketches are so damn funny I’m ROLMAO.
Mama really knows how to run the family like Ed & Eunice.
big fan of Carol Burnet Show and this skit.. i often wondered out of all the guest stars, there wasn’t one Python on her show, at least John Cleese. He would’ve made perfect boss to that secretary Mrs Whiggins…😄
mommas family, my mother liked
this show.
I love Mamas Family
They were brilliant skittles.
This is exactly how you handle people who are rude to you. Especially if you didn’t start the fight.
“Who are you to order me around? As far as I’m concerned, you can take a LONG walk on a SHORT pier!!”
Great actors indeed!!
I almost got a tear in my eye when Ed was talkin bout the Rabbit traps at 8:14 😂
In the skit where we see Ed at the store, they show a sale on those rabbit traps. It is on here.
They kept referring to them in later sketches.
Poor Ed. He had a lot to put up with being around those two old biddies.
Love the show they keep you
laughing
My Grandmother and her oldest daughter had a relationship like this. Constant competition.
Too close to home is right! Momma reminds me of my mother. On a good day she was "Mom"
On a trying day she was "That Woman!"
On an especially bad day she was "That *itch!" LOL 😂😂😂
It's easy to laugh about it now, but some days.... 😲😤😠😉
Some of the lines were really not that funny on paper, but they made them hilarious with the delivery! Brilliant!
I want to watch bowling for dollars never watched it I could use a good laugh
Some of the funniest to ever do it!! All three them...
Mama is just like my Mom.... I mean it's scary. Lol
The way mama and Eunice are with each is the same way ,almost , that me and my mom are. Not as arguementitive
but really close...🤗🤗🤗😏😏😏
A classic sketch
EUNICE & MAMA
ME & MY GRANDMA😂😂😂😂
BRING THE PAYNE Payne
Me and my family.
BRING THE PAYNE Payne
Me and my family.
Me and my Dad. He's so bad I'm probably going to drop dead from relief when he goes. He actually grins from ear to ear after getting me upset. He lives for it.
I wish there were episodes where Eunices sister had to deal with mama
BRILLIANT!!!!
they can't stand each other, but none of them has a choice.
Mama is always crabby as it is, but add in when someone is "sick" or recovering from something, and we all know how bitchful they can be. This is a great example of that LOL. So funny.
How does she remember all these lines?? She talked for almost 5 minutes... nonstop.... LOL
Practice and Rehearsals.
I miss my mama!
"You can stare at them four walls all day long for all I care!"
god these people really hit close to home! lol. my family was even worse!
ricky parker yup. If I had been smart I would've video taped our fights. They would've been so funny to other people. They were insane. I wrecked my voice screaming for my rights.
@@lorimiller4301 Another self center child.
I always said if NBC ever saw our fights the checks would be flying through the mail.
I'm sorry for you. Takes a full measure of willful stupidity to achieve this.
Love the way Ed’s hands tempted to strangle mama at the end.
" how in the hell can air be funny" lololol
The truce didn’t even last 1 minute lol 😂
Mama, is a pain in the ass, poor Eunice, lol, I know a lot of folks like Mama
Most of the folks who like Mama was introduced to her from the second run of Mama's Family, where she's sweeter.
Ya and my mom is one of them
In the old days, people really just argued all the time.
LMAO
and now even more
😬My parents had a pact _never_ to argue🤬in front of us kids.😍 i witnessed _one_ disagreement when i was a teenager👱🏼♀️and was _convinced_ they were divorcing!🤦🏼♀️ Remember tryna decide who to live with?🙆🏼♀️
Finally told my parents
what i thought🤔💭😢and they were like
*_WHAAAAT?!_* 🤷♀️🙄🤨 *HAHAHAA!!!*
😅💦🤣😘
"You got anything to read around here besides these trashy movie magazines?"
This version of Mama was so hateful! Lol
@tony gather No. She was hateful.
@tony gather Mama is definitely HATEFUL in The Family skits. She becomes nicer during Mama's Family, especially during the second life with Bubba and Iola.
The strange or even sad thing is, every family has a Eunice or a mama in it? and if you're saying not in my family, one of them is probably YOU?!?!? Lol... It's much funnier to watch them rather than having to live with them!.
this is the story of my life
Carol Burnett is a good actress have all the good actors besides😂😂😂😂
Eurnice and Mama seem like a precursor to Dorothy and Sophia from the Golden Girls although Dorothy and Sophia weren't as dysfunctional.
Eunice and Mama make Dorothy and Sophia look good.
I swear Eunice and Mama my gma and mother
Lol...."you dumb cluck...that rabbit epidemic was in Australia"....cracks me up every time!
The best
This is not my jar of hand cream. this is my bobby pins. eddie it should be obvious to even you that hand cream don't rattle.
😂😆
"Couldn't you hear the clank clank?!?!"
Mama . lord have mercy lolol
. Eunice answering that ringing phone. HeLLLLOOOOO LOL
This show is so hilarious but I can't watch it back to back like other comedies b/c I can only take one or two episodes a week of all that yelling and screaming, gawd! ..how did the actors take it all the time?? Sometimes it reminds me of my family growing up and then I'm like " aaaaaaa! Calgon, take me away!!!" :D :D (lol!)
" Why dont yougo sit on a tack!!" I dont know why that line really got me!! so funny!!
If i had a mother like that I would be exactly the same as Eunice lol.
God damn shoes r gorgeous. They're always on her feet.
love her so much family goofy couldn't you imagine living with them
just goes to show that the stone the builder refuse at the begining has become the corner stone at the end. Mama worshipped Ellen and disfavored Eunice. but who is always looking out for Mama? Eunice!!! The stone the builder refused in the begining!! LIFE IS GOOD!!
Eunice is better than me: if that was me, I'd have dropped her off at Ellen's house and left her there. No way would I put up that b.s.
Bloombaby99 Amen
When she fell again, think I would've cared? Not at that point.
God it is really awful how Eunice does more for her mother but Thelma blatantly favors Ellen
Sad thing is women like thelma are never grateful. I hate my mom. But i couldn't just leave her somewhere lord knows i would want to though
@@matteusconnollius1203 story of my life. My mom never appreciated me either. Always favored my sister. Yet unlike ellen my sister is not wealthier or more attractive than me so go figure
like this Show Funny😂😂😂😂😂 it's my show😅😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤
Watch out for that tarantula!
eunice when she says what it's so funny.
