I love how no one blinks an eye at how Roddy McDowell's accent is anything but Southern 😂
No matter how long a day or how troubled I am by current events I watch Carol Burnet and mama's family and the world isn't so bad
IKR just makes everything better 😌
Great memories
I dvr mamas family and old sitcoms to laugh
Same for me! I laugh myself silly😂 and forget about my problems! Great talented people!
The way Mama and Eunice ask Philip questions about himself only to cut him off to complain about something petty like gum wrappers in a purse reminds me of my own family.
Reminds me of my dad’s side. They constantly talk over each yet somehow everyone gets heard and points are understood. As a childhood it was confusing to watch
🤣🤣 I relate to this too, thanks for sharing your view
👍🏻👍🏻😂😂
It is so realistic. My co-workers are in awe of my talents and accomplishments but when I try and share them with my family they seem to be distracted or uninterested. I once tried to share this video presentation with my family that had gotten rave reviews from my co-workers only to have some family members leave the room in the middle of it and others start conversations which distracted them from watching the video. They always say that I am talented but they never allow me to share anything with them. It's very hurtful at times.
@@hshawn00 I know the feeling. I'm like Phillip in that I'm the only one out of all my siblings to move away from our small hick of a home town and make something of my life. I'm the only one who would make the effort to keep in touch. I'd call my brother for instance and as soon as he realized it was me on the other end, it was always sorry I don't have time to talk. I'd go home for visits and like Eunice my sisters might ask me a question about what's going on in my life and before I could get two words out. They'd get distracted by something and end up not even listening. Or cut me off and start an argument with someone in the room. Or like Mama would literally get up and walk out of the room in mid sentence. 20 years ago I started dialysis and when I called home to tell my family you would have thought I'd just told them I had a head cold. I drove out a year after I started dialysis for a visit and not one person asked how I was doing. Spent 6 years on dialysis and in all that time not one person in my family ever called to check on me. When I finally got the call that they had a kidney for me. I called home to let my family know. I spent 8 days in the hospital after my surgery and never heard from one of them. But when one of my siblings get sick or has some sort of health issue. You better believe if I don't call and check on them enough for their liking or send them some financial aid to help while they're recovering, I'm just the worst brother to ever live. My oldest sister posts about every one of her health issues on Facebook. Even reshares the posts again when they pop up a year later. If I don't comment on them she gets her feelings hurt and says I don't care.
@@patrickhawkins4677 Wow, I am so sorry you've had to deal with all of this from your family while suffering from health issues. It's amazing how families can inflict so much pain on each other. That's why these family skits are both tragic and comedic. They really capture the dysfunction in families. I've experienced similar situations with my family. When my brother graduated from college, my family traveled from near and far to celebrate this milestone with him but when I graduated, they made excuses as to why they couldn't come. Also when this same brother needed a car in college, my sister and brother law helped get him a car. They didn't do anything for me. It is so sad how families can treat each other. I am glad that you were able to get a kidney and I pray your health continues to improve.
I love the way Carol uses her voice! She's so animated.
0:34 "HElllloOooOo!!"
EVERYTHING she does is amazing....That body language and her expressions...REALLY sells it
this stuff is far beyond simple comedy
@@manuelkong10 I have to agree with you. She's amazing
Their acting really is what makes this skit collection so good. Nobody else could have ever pulled this off.
Not raining on Carol & Company's parade, but in regards to your comment, the Seinfeld gang can hold their own.
@@frez777 I’ll give it to you when you said Seinfeld could hold thier own but no way could they compete with that crazy family .
I’ve never been big on The Carol Burnett Show but I love these Family skits. They’re the best part of the show.
I actually remember this skit from when I watched it originally on the show. I think it's one of their very best. I've actually known families who ignored efforts of a good kid, and favored the loser.
10:22 "Now wait just a minute here, ol'lady." 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love it when Eunice says that!
Phillip, Ellen, and Vinton were always Mama Harper's favorites but it was always Eunice who was there for her. These skits are amazing and true to life.
Sometime Eunice be looking so sad:::mama always there want Eunice for helping hand',,Ellen was never there but she praise her to death ,that way life is now:: the one that do for you they never get no credit:: but one that does nothing get all the worpship, and kisses !!!!
That way life is just the way the skits wrote the one that do for you the most that one you treat all kinds of ways:: always downing poor Eunice, no matter what she say of do for her mother it always wrong in her mother eyes ELLEN CAN NEVER DO NO WRONG :: BUT EUNICE DO HER HUDSMAN BAD ALSO HE CAN TRY TO LOVE HER SHE ALWAYS REJEECTING HIM NO MATTER WHAT !!!
That’s true the child that does the most is the least appreciated.
They left home early and are successful in life Eunice stated behind poor thing and never followed her dream
@@elizabethjones5114 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
INCREDIBLY wonderful example of American "Dysfunctional Family".
My proud family😳😁😳😉😙
Fred J.
Our Family motto was; “We put the fun in dysfunctional.”! 😂
why only american- it is international-hormonbased ups and downs in characters?
@@tomatenpaprika6323
I believe Fred said American because the character's are American's played by American's. 😆
Who cares?
There's NEVER been anything better! Long Love Carol Burnette
It always kills me when she call mama old lady.
I have a 83 yr old friend and when she gets uppity that is exactly where I want to go while I bite my tongue "keep it up old woman!"
@@WindTurbineSyndrome Go ahead. She can take it. I call my mom that.
I used to call my mom that too, after she would call me Eunice lol or rather she would call me ‘well hell Eunice’ lmao I miss that ol lady
@@teresak1177 I call my mother
Boo Boo because she's always making mistakes 🤦♀️
Roddy mcdowall is a super actor. I remember he used to play a lot of sinister roles in the 60s and 70s. Loved his accent. cchild star born in england...he had such a polished way of speaking.
You're also probably a well spoken homosexual like Roddy was.
@@dwightpowell6673 Clearly not as well established as a bigot like you are.
@@dwightpowell6673 wow what an ignorant homophobic thing to say.
@@dwightpowell6673 I am and I found him handsome
Carol Burnett is a comic genius.
The way Carol makes fun of herself is incredible -- this material is straight from her own dysfunction growing up.
I read Vickie once said ' I put on the wig and the dress and I become mama '. When I watch Mama's Family I have to remind myself it's Vicki Lawrence, then I just grin. She's so good.
And just think she got her start by sending Ms. Burnett a picture of herself and wrote that they looked so much alike it was as if they were twins but she had absolutely no acting skills. Ms. Burnett flew her in gave her a few lines to read. And the rest is history
I have watched this show soo many times and it still cracks me up.
Vicky Lawrence is just sensational as Mama. I would love to know who on the Carol Burnett show came up with the idea for these family sketches. The writing is just pure genius.
It truly is _genius_ . You are right. Since you mentioned it, I'm going to see who the writers of the sketches were.
I'm sure the writers may have changed from time to time, but they were surely great!
Makes one wonder if the ideas came from a real family maybe that one of the writers knew?
The story goes, according to Carol Burnett, the writers wrote this, and Carol decided they should do it in a Southern/Country accent, and the writers did not like the idea at all. The first skit is the one called "Family Reunion" with Roddy McDowall as the visiting brother to Mama's home. It was so popular, they made it a recurring skit on the show every few weeks. Carol also said there is no comedy in The Family skits; it's all about how they yell at each other, how rude they are, how mean they are, the true to life Southern accents, and just all of the atmosphere of it all.
Dick Clair and Jenna McMahon.
If I recall correctly, according to Carol Burnett, these "Family" sketches were based on the dynamics of her real life family when she was growing up (though without the southern accents).
Thanks for giving credit to the writers 👏
I always thought the family skits were the funniest ones on the show. I agree that as the characters expanded the stories did get more darker but no less funny. Another remarkable thing as I have gotten older, I can really relate to these skits more as a 55-year-old that I could when I was 11 or 12 years old when they first aired.
When the newspaper columnist hangs up on Eunice. 😆😆
"Now, listen old lady"...was one of me and my mother's favorite lines from these skits. I would often say that to her and even crook my finger at her sometimes...joking of course...lol. She passed away a few years ago. I miss hearing her laugh so much.
vicky lawrence is just super in this mama's family
Loved mama family joke n that fam r crazy
Am I the only one whose heart flutters like a butterfly when seeing Carol?
Even Eunice gives my heart a flame 🥰💓🙊
Today's comedy falls flat on it's face, this is the comedy here I miss I can watch this a thousand times and still laugh!
Roddy McDowell was such a fine actor. He could play any character in any genre exceptionally!
...and a very fine person according to almost every account I've read.
Love the family episodes. Wonderful memories of me , my mom and sister laughing at these skits. Mom and sis are gone now but when I watch these episodes it’s just like they are back with me. Thanks for posting.❤️
carol burnett crack me up i love her she's a great actress
If I had a mother and sister like these two. I would not ever come around
LoL......I wouldn’t be dog gone, I’d be long gone.”
@@matildadhumxoxo5801 😂😂😂😂
I'd live far away.
I think they're great!
No other show on tv could balance comedy and genius like carol Burnette😂
It's incredible that these superb and clever skits were conceived EVERY SINGLE WEEK for The Carol Burnett Show... year after year after year.
These days, rarely do you get a glimpse of such consistent talents of this caliber of not just the outstanding acting, but the consistently, well thought out content and delivery.
Most comedy is not funny or original these days.
@@justanotherti4790 - Agreed.
Nowadays, SNL is the closest thing to the shows and skits of back then. Only they just don't reach the same genius of the old comedy writers. Sometimes I just don't understand the point of some of the SNL skits. They certainly don't make me laugh as hard.
"Well, you can't coast on them forever baby"....I about pissed myself....The level of ignorance is what was so hilarious in these skits
😂😂😂
You are only as good as your last Pulitzer
I love the slow zoom in on her face about the Easter egg 😆
I have NEVER seen this one before. Thank you so much for posting it!!
I would love to see the one where Ed, Eunice, and Mama go to the "fancy" restaurant. ♥️
Hey Victoria
How are you doing?
Boy, I am glad I moved away from my immediate family, and it was the happiest decision I made!
@@leahteuerle6028 I understand! I had to learn the hard way of family dynamics. All dysfunctional.
Me too! Then i severed all contact. My mother and sister both pulled crap like this the last time i visited, i have NO IDEA why they acted so strangely. And they were full of hatred, too.
I love The Family skits. However, my relationships with my mother and sister were quite toxic for 4 decades. So glad I'm finally free of them.
Cheers
🥂
Sad
Hallelujah ❤️🔥
The passive aggressive stuff Mama says like how she says I don’t want to force anyone to do anything, lol.
This never gets old 😍
Unice and Mama put the fun in dysfunctional ❤ Quarantine is more bearable with these shows! Cheers 👍
Thanks so much for sharing these with us. The Family was always my favorite on The Carol Burnett Show. I’d like to see them all released on a DVD set.
First time I've seen this Eunice and Momma skit. It is hilarious! Thanks for posting it!
This is the best Bingeable show during this quarantine!! Loved this show when I was a kid and still love it now! (tug tug👂)
I would’ve LOVED an episode with Phil, Ellen, Vinton, Larry, Jack, and Eunice!
too bad they didn't have at least one skit with ALL the characters . For some reason I thought there was a Christmas sketch with Ellen Eunice and Phillip, but I guess not
@@jonnaking3054 there is a Christmas episode with Eunice and her brother Larry where they mention Ellen.
I was thinking the same thing
Phillip (no matter who portrayed him lol) was the only family member that wasn’t self centered. He also was the only one sympathetic to Eunice.
Actually he was self centered. But it made him more accountable and responsible.
Instead of this or that being someone else's fault.
He’s played by Roddy McDowell
Mm
He's the only one not crazy. Lol.
And the gay brother😊
Bubba and Raymond. They changed one of the kids names to Billy Joe. In the parent-teacher conference sketch, the teacher calls Bubba's brother Billy Joe.
I have heard that Bubba is not his legal name.
Let’s hope YT won’t take it down, I live for this
I've been watching some of my carol burnett fav's thanks to you. TFS with us. 👍🥰
The reason these are so hysterical is because they happen in every family!! I even have a brother named Phillip... hahah
Compared to the early family sketches, these later ones took a dark turn. It was easy to laugh at these people in the beginning, but it's harder to do when Eunice elicits such pity. Mama seemed especially strident in this episode.
What???
That's the word I was looking for-thank you. Yes, I agree.
With Harvey gone there is a difference.
I agree, it did get darker. It feels awkward to laugh. The dysfunction is so real. It's like watching a friends family going at it.
I’m not English native, just discovered this show couple of days ago. Unfortunately The first video I found is the parents teacher meeting (with Maggie Smith) one. And I’m not a teacher but I work with depressed, drugs addict, etc. overall troublesome teenagers.
So except a few chuckles here and there, those skits are painful to watch and NOT FUNNY AT ALL.
Eunice polishing those crazy sandals.
😂😂😂
Those sandals are so God awful ugly
@@mikemercado5223 😂😂😂
Why did Philip even bother to come home? Hes a glutton for punishment..lol
Longing for that validation that he's never gonna' get. :/
it’s a family thing
If he was smart he would never, ever go back.
He altered reality to no longer be the son in Mama's Family.
Thank you so much!!! Love love LOVE these sketches- grew up watching Mama’s Family with my granny, so it’s really neat seeing what inspired it. The Family is brilliant- it’s side-splittingly funny while it also manages to be poignant and very true to the dynamics of a dysfunctional family. Bravo 👏🏻
When I was a kid and watched The Family on Carol Burnett, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how Phillip (Roddy McDowell) ended up with a British accent being raised in the South by Mama. It's been 40+ years and I'm still trying to work that one out 😂😉
Dang! I feel sorry for Philip. 😞😞😞😞😞😱😱😱Coming from a family like that! Who can blame him for not visiting more!
They were so wonderful together...how I miss those days of tv...
Comedic genius displayed! Keep them coming!
Eunice tries so hard to please everybody, strives to be accpeted, and fails miserably. I feel for her.
Tries too hard.
Her siblings were more successful than Eunice because Eunice stayed behind with Mama and they left home earky
Same with Mickey Hart but at least he had Ed as a friend
I thought I had seen them all, but never this one! Thank you!
I love the easter egg story 😂😂😂😂
I would have ulcers and a nervous breakdown if I was a part of that family.
Me too.
I can so..... relate to Phillip. Love my family but from a Looonnggg Distance
"A lick and a promise with a handy wipe"...
Love them all,, RIP Harvey and Tim
I don't ever recall seeing this before. Thanks.
I love these the family skits on the Carol Burnett show ❤
Lmbo the one time Eunice cleans her house, she throws away Phil’s notes😅😅😅
Lol
Is she kidding? I would NEVER go home!😆
I love Carol Burnett
Thanks. You keep finding new shows I haven't seen!!!!!!!!!
💘 love Carol and friend
Ever since I can Rember😍😍
WOW! Haven't seen Roddy McDowall since 'That Darn Cat' with Hailey Mills. Nice!!!!!
I sympathize with poor Philip!
cleaning those white shoes Eunice loved 😅😅😅😅😅😅
😁😁😁😁😁
Ugly ass hell there outfits you cant make up just ugly 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😆😆😆
ohhh Momma the way she interacts w her kids 🤣 bless her heart
A friend of mine back in the 90's had on a pair of white shoes just like Eunice. I was surprised when we were going out one night she came over with them on! LOL
😂
I look at her show over and over all of them good I just love Eunice
I watch all the Eunice skits every night it's like go through a time machine...
Funny hilarious show 🤣 comedy at it's best 👌 👍 ❤️ loved all the cast 😄 🤣 awesome 👌 👏
I've seen only one with Roddy Mcdowall-the visit to Hollywood. Thanks for this one.
@Louise Gross Yes. I forgot about that.
Great casting. We all have that one family member who is British.
Getting real and honorary degrees is lost on this family. No wonder little brother left home.
This is the only show on which actors and actresses wear same cloths in all the episodes I have seen so far.
The people on Sanford and Som did too. LoL
Any of the Hollywood writers of this classic dialogue, working behind the scenes for Carol and her awesome crew, probably experienced this sort of scenario painfully whenever they went home for Thanksgiving. “Now what the hell is it, exactly, that you *do* out there? By the way, did you know that your brother married Becky Thompson and they bought a store in Tupelo?” 😄 Love these gems. I wasn’t born when they were made, but they “lived on” in syndication and we enjoyed them so much when I was a kid. A lot has changed. Not for the better.
"Today I know that somewhere in this house there's a rotten Easter egg."
"Maybe I can work that into the film."
Wonder if the Bob's Burgers people saw this show.
I know some people like this and can relate.
I would be afraid to visit that family.
WOW! Big fan of Eunice and the clan, never knew this existed. Thanks!!
Thank you for the up load😀😀😀😀
"Eunice, what the hell are these chewing gum wrappers doing in my purse?!" 😂😂😂😂
poor eunice, always getting the short stick in life.
She was very resilient though. It was as if she lived a parallel life to her family. They can’t do too much damage to her because she isn’t really accessible....can’t hit a moving target.
Incredible acting.
"...somewhere in this house...is a rotten Easter egg..." LOL with her eyes LOL
I always thought Roddy McDowall was rather attractive. Was saddened when he passed away.
And those tight pants...whew
@Amethyst Farah ... agreed. It's because McDowell didn't even try to use even the most partial Southern accent. If he had, perfect fit.
@Amethyst Farah agreed
It's what happens when you stay unmarried. You retain that boyish look.
@@sdlock83 Amen! :)
Eunice -Phillip I don't understand, why don't you come by more often?!!
LA TV FAN...please post the one where Mama, Eunice and Ed go out to eat on a coupon!
One of my favorites. There is a version of it here somewhere but it's cut to pieces. I'd love to see the uncut version.
It's on RUclips just type Eunice restaurant..my favorite part was when she was teachingmama what a pepper mill was..
At 11:57 when Eunice exclaims "Lord!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She was so dramatic 😂😂😂
Oh, I forgot about this one!! Thanks, keep them coming if you can!!!
Eunice said at 9:35: “Pipe dreeeams” 😂😂😂
Y do they call it a pipe dream
I wish they did a dvd set on Eunice
Hello 👋
How are you doing?
Thank You so much for posting these. I haven't seen that one since it originally aired.
I could never understand how Phillip could have a British accent but everybody else had a southern accent.
Because Roddy wasn't American.
English accent.
You are correct he doesnt fit in with the family now Vinton fit right in they should not have had a british man playing the brother
They probably thought since he was cultivated and successful it would work. What doesn't work is believing ANYONE in that family could be sophisticated, talented, and successful.
@@mmjhcb all of her siblings were more successful once they left living with Mama..poor Eunice never got to follow her dream to be an actress because she stayed behind...
"Now you cain't coast on them forever, baby." A Pulitzer and a Nobel Peace Prize, lol! 🤣
😂😂😂😂
