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.
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. 😁
@@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.

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.
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.
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!
From a golden era of comedy ( indeed, more recently featured on Craigs show here...but, they date back a bit, if 'ya know what i mean?) this is just pure Gold. now back to todays 'crap television and programming.
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.
I think it's been said already, these guys are a National Treasure. They can make you laugh - still, like nobody else on earth. And take note, folks...nothing dirty or filthy...and yet they can make you roll on the floor. They were - and are - the best!
Matthew Hamersly "Well, maybe not love. You know, National Policy and all..." "National Policy.." can be applicable to any administration and made fun of. Note: They did that joke some years earlier, in 1992, on the Carson show and more than likely before then ruclips.net/video/oghxf-HS6go/видео.html.
@@vinyltapelover What's your point? You're being obtuse. 1) Administration = Politics 2) It's the same as Rodney Dangerfield, you might have heard it a dozen times but you'll still laugh because the delivery & timing are great! I repeat, what's your point?
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.
@@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...
I bought my first album by these comedians in 1961. They were laugh-out-loud funny even without seeing them. Once you saw Tommy's expressions and their musicality, it was gold! Two of my favorite routines were " Chocolate " and " Boil the cabbage down. " I was a huge fan of their series in the sixties.
They made their point, as they always did. So nice to see these nice, smart, civic minded men again, and still on the top of their game. Best wishes to them.
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 ....
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.
I have had the pleasure of seeing these two perform live twice in my life. Those were about fifteen years apart and both mixed some of their famous routines with new materials, and everything hit perfectly. One woman sitting next to me laughed so hard she pee'd herself a little and had to excuse herself. Even my wife who did not grow up on them thought they were brilliant. I wish they could have had all their performances captured for posterity. Sure, it would be a lot to look at, but it would be great learning material for the younger comics who think vulgarity is a punchline, and who do not understand picture-perfect timing.
I also was privileged to be at one of their performances. It was in Monterey CA. I can't remember when it was but I know it was way over 5 years ago. My husband and I NEVER laughed so hard in our lives. They were absolutely FANTASTIC. Haven't heard about them since but I thought I read that they are not performing any longer. Their comedy in my eyes is and was the best of the best. I could listen and watch them over and over again and never get bored. They are also great musicians writing, singing, playing instruments and harmonizing - performing their own music. You just don't find this kind of talent anymore! Their timing is spot on and entertainment at it's best in my eyes! I wonder if there is any chance of a reunion special or a tribute to them? They certainly deserve "stars" on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (if they don't already have one)!!!!! Does anyone have any updates information about them?
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.

What a treat no swearing, no smut, no F bombs..just pure comedy
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
Another one of my favourite Smothers Brothers episodes.🥰 RIP Tom.
Episode? This is Craig Ferguson's show
REST IN PEACE Tommy Smothers (December 2023, age 86).
You made us laugh, and you guys made great music. Another legend has passed.
Last time I laughed like that was 1969. 😂
Tommy’s face sells anything he says. Perfect for their act.
Thank you Tommy for your fantastic comedic humor and songs in our life. Millions loved you.❤

What do you mean, especially the mannerisms? It was only the mannerisms.
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!
I love them. They also harmonized like angels. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I especially loved the skit about "Mother Loves you Best" by Tommy Smother. It never fail to make me laugh.
The smothers brothers
Sonny & Cher
The Irish Rovers
Laugh in
Some of my favorite memories from my childhood.
After all these years, they still have it! Copied, but never replicated!
Who copied?
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!

Pure genius on Toms part. The two of them gave us laughs and smiles to last a lifetime!!
My Dad used to laugh like crazy at the Smothers Brothers. I miss him like hell.
Miss these guys so much.
Hello Rebecca
How are you doing today?
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

best physical Carson impression
For those that have not seen that impersonation of Johnny Carson in its entirety , check it out on RUclips! It is spot ON!
It was better than a great physical impression... it was uncanny
After all these years, they haven't lost the touch.
You forget how great these guys are. They had me roaring with laughter. Best wishes to the two of them.
Tommy is flying with Jesus now.
tommy just died. should have given them better wishes man.

National treasures! Love them!
Ma loves me best lol
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.
They're still hilarious 😂🤣
They were so crazy that people had to love them 🤣 ( I miss that kind of humor )
They're both still with us in 2022.❤️
Dickie was the greatest straight man ever and Tommy, well.....he was Tommy. Loved 'em.
"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
@@stephenwoehr6500 that was their beauty. The entire intro set up their punchline.
same! what a class act!

Two of the greatest will never be forgotten
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.
I remember them when they first started and thought they had an original formula. Timing was one of their secret ingredients.
what a classic bit, rip tommy, condolences to the families. great musicians too.
I always loved the Smothers Brothers comedy and singing!!
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!
A more intelligent "girlfriend would serve you best.
As a teenager I became a farm pilot! Farmer told me to take the manure and pilot here. Take the hay and pilot there...

If only comedy was like that today! Loved this clip! Loved watching them when growing up! Thankyou!
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.
Wonderful humor. It is truly funny.
Yes...despErately!
That was wonderful. When comedy was Golden.
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.
I love this. They are still so funny..
Hello Linda
How are you doing today?
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.
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.
Tommy, the pathological liar ;-D
This is one of the funniest comedy bits I've ever seen. BRAVO!
I think it's been said already, these guys are a National Treasure. They can make you laugh - still, like nobody else on earth. And take note, folks...nothing dirty or filthy...and yet they can make you roll on the floor. They were - and are - the best!
I enjoyed these guys in my youth. Nice to see they still have it.
Remember watching them in the 60's...and and a younger Goldie Hawn, shaking!
"We're not the original Smothers Brothers." funny.
Damn! They still have it! LMAO
Did anyone else catch Dick say the expression is beating horse with a dead stick? They're the greatest.
Wow, I am a big fan of the Smothers Brothers, having grown up with them, and I cannot believe I haven’t seen this clip. What a joy to see this today!
Great folk singers too!
still hilarious after all these years. rip original smothers brothers.
After all these years..they still got it 8-)
Tommy's a hoot!
He's also a pilot!
@@seeharvester😅😅😅😅
What a great routine! As funny as ever. Made me laugh. Love em.
It's funny! And when they were deep in their skit the boys were there - just as young as ever. Thanks!
I love these guys.

1) Administration = Politics
2) It's the same as Rodney Dangerfield, you might have heard it a dozen times but you'll still laugh because the delivery & timing are great!

Its 2019 and they still have it. Thanks guys for the comedy you do so well!
Milford Esau, WELL SAID they sure do with NO profanity!!! 😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸
Legends. They still have it
I saw them at the Keswick about 4 years ago and they were hilarious. You would think their humor would be dated but they were great!
Beyond legendary... National, intl treasures
National policy... You've said that a 1000 years AHAHAHAHA
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.
That little clip reminds us of how funny they were.
"National policy." No truer words were ever spoken.
