"Still till today nobody tops Lucille Ball." And in my opinion, no one ever will! I've seen different people try to re-create her comedy, and they just don't have it.
The part where she puts the clamp on her nose gets me every time. I've seen it dozens of times, and I know it's coming, but it still makes me laugh! They left out the best part: the reaction of the waiter and staff when Lucy put ketchup on her escargots! My French professor in college always said the French are very particular about food. I guess he was right!
@@dezeraejames5255 yeah one of the episodes was when Lucy and viv becomes firemen. Lol. It's the scene when Viv hoses Lucy when she going up the ladder and she hits her hard on the back and you can hear Desi laughing in the background. I know what you talking about lol. Yeah. And his son has a similar laugh to his dad too. You can hear it on the lucy show
This was hysterical I wish they had added a little bit more because after he went in to get the ketchup the chef came out and was screaming you don't put ketchup on snails it's like a delicacy but leave it to Lucy to put the snail holder on her nose I just been watching these over and over again for so many years and I never get tired of it lol😂😂😂😹😹 I💗LUCY
Now the waiter is going to tell everybody in the kitchen that the American wants ketchup. This is perfect because it shows how stereotypes of Americans come to be. The only thing missing was her asking for a lot of ice in her drink.
Its kind of true though. Im american but my mother is from mexico. I lived with a redhead guy at one time. He was my boyfriend and i would cook for us. Sometimes i made tacos and he wanted to put ketchup on them ...yuuuucckk. i think the taco itself probably got offended
LarrySeesAsia too bad it’s all mostly true. How dare Lucy offend the chef by defacing escargot with basic KETCHUP?!? Why not just stay at the hotel and order hotdogs for the rest of the trip?! (Side note, hotdogs aren’t even American either. Germans might get pissed at ketchup on those too. As would hamburger from Hamburg)
Totally true. When I lived in France with a French family, they were so proud to make hamburgers for me (no rolls, just meat). Then the wife berated the husband into getting the ketchup for me from the kitchen. I felt bad, so I said no, no, it’s okay, and they were shocked that I didn’t want ketchup. They put it on the table anyway, and after two minutes I reached for it, and everyone laughed.
We'll soon be approaching an entire century since I Love Lucy premiered on Oct. 15, 1951, and some of the comedy writing on this show still has not been beat. That's 73 years from this the writing of this comment.
When I was a child, by grandmother, gave us a little needle and some small things called penny weekles, I loved them until later on, I found out they were cooked snails!!!! 🐩🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
+MaryRod09 my brother in law would eat anything with ketchup on it. He puts it on all kinds of meat, he puts it in mashed potatoes & mac & cheese & spaghetti, even on bread. We got him a shirt for Christmas in 2014 that says "Everything tastes better with ketchup" I would think if he ate escargot he would want ketchup on it.
Many women today who attempt at comedy are just not genuinely funny or got a sense of humor or willing to express their own humility in a cathartic sense. There's no other lady who can top Lucille Ball!
She didn't want the other French people in the cafe to know that she is a tourist (she was trying to blend in as a local) and Fred and Ethel were with a tourist group when they ran into her. Although I'd say she blew her own cover in this scene XD.
I dated a guy once that was Japanese. He brought me to this place that apparently had "authentic" Japanese cuisine. I let him order so i could get a real experience of this food...uuuugghhh omg. I remember an octupus with tentacles and everything on a bed of rice. I reacted kind of like lucy. I tried to be polite. I ate a little. And god it was as gross as it looked. Never again...and there was no second date
@@waltersantos he also said his Japanese women friends made their men wait 2 years to even kiss them. I kissed him that night. Never got a call back. Im sorry people. You eat crap and dont have relations. Ok makes sense why youre so nuts
The only time I had escargots was in Quèbec City. They tasted like a cross between shrimp, mussels and rainwater but the butter and garlic made them quite pleasant. Frog legs were not bad either thanks to garlic. Ketchup to me is the most disgusting smelly stuff. It mages me gag and I am American from Chicago!
I had them at Le Chefs Du France in Disney World, haha. They were actually really good. Never had Frog Legs but they always make me think of the original Muppet Movie when Doc Hopper chased Kermit halfway across the country so Kermit would be the mascot for Doc's new Frog Leg restaurant. lol XD
Les escargots means "snails" in French. I have a cheap French book with a menu decoder. Don't buy cheap foreign language books because the publisher won't hire an editor. Without an editor, the book is just based on one person's word and it can be a lie. My book claimed that poulet means "policeman," but if you say that word to a policeman, then he will probably take out his night stick and start hitting you with it. I always try to get a second opinion from another book, or I listen to a person who speaks French in order to figure out if that's what a word really means.
What's so funny about this?I love escargot. I've got the shellsand ever so often I fill them withimported snails from France.Slather them with garlic butter.Bake them, and then,Serve with a lovely vin blanc Bergerac.C'est le bon gout...………………….!
@@stephaniemorell6912 There is nothing remotely funny about an American woman making fun of the glorious cuisine of France...or Italy for that matter! There just isn't........
Bruce Marsico you are missing the point. Lucille Ball is an American icon known for her humor and physical comedy, she is by no means denigrating the Parisian way of life. I have been to France many times, Paris in point of fact and love their Joie de vivre.
@@stephaniemorell6912 I'm laughing with you Stephanie. It IS funny, but I do love snails in garlic butter with a nice chilled glass of Bergerac or Chablis...better, with champagne. I know that the show is supposed to have Americans looking like hayseeds and ignorants abroad. Paris is okay, Strassburg is cleaner and the food IS better...germany and france combined.
I WAS having a really bad day, a broken heart, but now I´m happy and laughing! This is the best medicine for the heart and soul!
61 years later and still funny!!
Best show of all time!!

the look on her face! priceless!
I love this woman so much. My mom had similar situations happen to her and she was married to my dad who is from Mexico. Same kind of couple.
This show will always be a legend it's still funny even after all these years
Her comedy never gets old. Still funny now!

Lucy putting the snail spoon on her nose…all these years later- still the funniest stupidest thing I’ve ever joyfully laughed at! Thank you!
Even after all these years, Lucy is still the Queen of Comedy.
I remember when queen used to mean "Female ruler."
Quien no la quiere.Lucy gracias por haber existido.
I wish I could've met this incredible woman. She died when I was two.
I’ve seen this clip many times and can’t stop laughing she was fantastic 😂😂
I've *never* seen this before and this made me laugh hard enough to have to pause. I have to check out more of this show.
Still use "comme ceci" and "sauce tomate" regularly.
I love the next scene at the police station with the train of translators
I wish they'd bring I Love Lucy back on the Hallmark Channel I miss it
i'm here bcs me and my mom just watched this episode 2 nights ago... i can never get enough of the European Trips era 💀💀

You cut out the best part when the chef comes in and complains about the ketchup
I can't stop thinking about Mr been Paris visit 😂
I was just thinking the same thing how freakin hysterical it was it was a good one
too bad humor like this is not available today.
0:24 LOL
Escargot.
Im neither American nor French but when she asked for ketchup I literally winced and said "noooooo!" lmao
So funny when she places tongs on her nose to avoid smell
1950's
I know how she feels....

Omg she’s so funny

She a lot younger than when she's in The Lucy Show
Can download the complete episodes please
I thought I saw every episode, I missed one.
I wonder if the scene from Mr Bean was inspired by this
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Only like ketchup on certain things and occasionally...scrambled eggs and french fries.
I like salsa instead.
jt's typical to use ketchup, pepper, vinegar, mustard or horse-raddish to send a strange dish as snails surely are down the throat....
Lol Snails as food are actually edible for some reason. They call it escargot.
Omg,,,, lololol!!!!
Everytime i see this episode, I don't understand the scene where Lucy sees Fred and Ethel and pretends to not know who they are.
She didn't want the other French people in the cafe to know that she is a tourist (she was trying to blend in as a local) and Fred and Ethel were with a tourist group when they ran into her.
Although I'd say she blew her own cover in this scene XD.
+Sanbika89 Yup, the comedy was all about being a hypocrite.
That was before these boring "politically correct" times we are living today.

Well you do eat SEA SNAILs so...
I know it’s fiction, but in reality, escargot is delicious! They taste just like clams with butter, herbs, salt, peppers, and lemon.
Emily Greene They might taste delicious but I could NOT get past the fact that I was eating slimy disgusting snails! UGH!!!

Why does Lucy act like a jerk to the Mertzes until she wants something then blackmails bribes or begs them.
nothing to do with this
Jonie Spivey she didnot wrote the script
The show did condone sneakiness and lying sometimes.
Maybe she took lessons from my parents and sister. But they werent alive yet..
