The Smothers Brothers
The Smothers Brothers, Tom and Dick, are one of the most iconic comedy duos in the history of television. Tom and Dick began performing as a duo in the late 1950s, playing in coffeehouses and clubs in San Francisco. Their act consisted of music, comedy, and witty banter, which quickly gained them a following.
The Smothers Brothers became a household name in the late 1960s with their variety show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. The show was groundbreaking in its approach to comedy, pushing the boundaries with political satire and social commentary. The show also featured up-and-coming musical acts, including The Doors and The Who, and introduced the world to comedians like Steve Martin and George Carlin.
The Smothers Brothers' irreverent style has made them a beloved and enduring force in American comedy.

Thank you Smothers Brothers for the music, the laughter, and the memories. RIP Tommy 12.27.2023
He was the best. I never laughed so loudly.😂😢😊
CBS didn't come in great where I was in the sixties. As a kid, I hoped the weather would be right so we could watch the Smothers Brothers on our black and white tv. The laughs were in color though. Still are.
You remember all the show intros that said, "In colour!!" And I'm like, "You lying sack!" Eventually I asked my mom about it and she told me you had to have a special TV. (Which I accepted, because I understood that a special TV was going to cost more money than we had.)
“Mom always liked you best!”
Tommy, you will be missed. RIP
"'We're not really brothers... we're married." I wasn't ready for that. I had just taken a swig of beer and almost spit it out when I laughed.
Of all their shows, lines, and songs that either I didn't see or forgot about, I remembered that Tommy was preparing to say, "We're married."
In the late 90's when my two boys were still in high school, we took them to a Smothers Brothers show. They loved it even though they had never heard of the Smothers Brothers. Tommy and Dick gave them a shout out of appreciation from the stage and thanked them. They said, we know you have never heard of us, thank you for enjoying our show. Great guys.
When someone asks, "Where do you get your jokes?" I was expecting to hear him respond, "What jokes?"
Definition of Class Act: The Smothers Brothers
I was raised on this music. My mom knew them in college. It does my heart good.
That was an impressive display of beehives in the audience. 🐝
I noticed that !
I've been watching The Smothers Brothers videos over and over since Tommy died. So much of my childhood was wrapped up in their comedy.
My older brother would play their lps for us when my parents were gone. We listened to them over and over. I can't help but miss him while I listen.
I can't believe Tommy is gone. My condolences to Dick and all of Tommy's family.
I have been too, and we're not alone. I bought their Purple Onion album when it first appeared, and still have it.
@@jonathonsilver6445 My niece inherited all of my brothers lps. I wish I had it.
It’s sad everytime another legend from child hood leaves us and they are leaving in droves…thx for the memories and keep ‘em laughing in heaven tommy smothers
2023 was a rough year for loss. Hit like a ton of bricks when the news about Tommy landed in our home.
Thank you for your bravery in saying the truth to power in the 1960's The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour while be simultaneously being so very funny. Y'all made me laugh until I cried. RIP Tommy. Tom, I love you best.
What truth were they spreading? Sorry I'm only 26 and found them through johnny carson. I love their performances and comedy!
Dont worry, Tommy, I loved you best . RIP buddy. God bless you.
I stopped watching CBS for five years after CBS fired the Smothers. Not Cool, CBS. I tend to avoid CBS to this day out of respect to the Smothers. RIP Tommy.
RIP Tommy Smothers - he has sailed away
In case you didn't know.... Steve Martin won an Emmy as a comedy writer for the show in 1969!!
Edited the date.
Probably where he got his first on air gig. I am pretty sure I have seen clips of him on the show.
Wow!
Tommy was head writer for the Smothers Brothers and when the writing group for the show was nominated for an Emmy, Tommy removed his name from the nomination so the others would have a better chance to win without his name causing controversy. Tommy was a heck of a guy.
He took his name off so they could get a NOMINATION. They never expected to win against Laugh In. They won for the Liberace episode which still holds up today and their long sketch A Fable for Our Times is wildly relevant today.@@SaveJenny
Tommy's timing is great
I can’t think of another guitarist in a folk group of the era nearly as good as Tommy.
Loved these guys.
Rest In Piece!!!! You were a friend to my Uncle Rick (Rich) Martin. I remember you both coming over to a couple of Family Parties, always a class act. ❤️🙏🏼
in piece?! What the hell, did you kill him??
Such a different time. Miss it.
Rest in Peace and Love Forever Tommy !
Thanks to you and Dick for teaching us to "QUESTION AUTHORITIES" and to Stand Up against the WAR Peacefully and Clearly!
December 26th 2023!
❤🕊💫🕯🎶🙏🏻
I miss them, as a child omg laugh my butt off 😂😂😂😂
Required viewing at my house when I was a kid. At 6 all the topical stuff flew over my head, but my little brother and I were totally hip to the brothers stuff. We ate that up with a spoon.
I love the smothers brothers! My parents had an album of theirs when I was a kid. My brothers & I had bits memorized!
my 2 brothers did as well!
Your parents liked you best! :)
R.I.P Tom Smothers
Great Memories
Thanks for bringing back some fun memories.
They best encapsulated my generation, baby boomers, college class of '69, better than anyone else - and there was excellent company - simply The Best.
Love their harmony!
What a treat. I remember their show. Thank you for uploading this.
Love watching these guys! Can lift up your mood in seconds!!
So nice to meet mother Smothers.
RIP Tommy Smothers
Thanks for sharing. This is a blast from the past for me
Loved seeing mother! How Sweet!
Pure gold combination of beautiful music and 1-derful comedy !!! 😁
I wish I was there. I always wanted to be a mexican smothers brother. 👊🏻
So nice to watch a show that makes you smile.😊
I watched and enjoyed their comedy and singing! These two were tops! Today's 2 performing brothers are the Gardiner Brothers-Irish Dance. Used to be called clogging! Wouldn't that be a show to see with those 4 singing and dancing!!!!!
Natural treasures.
ALWAYS LOVED THE BRUDDAHS!
I still have one of their album
I enjoyed that.
They best encapsulated my generation, baby boomers college class of '69, better than anyone else; simply the Best.
I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for the upload 👍
From a different, more simple time.
Not true. The sheep were still naive. Nothing changes.
I remember.
Viet Nam. Watergate just around the corner. Kennedy assassination just behind us. Simple times? I don't think so.
"When we were growing up I remember we had a teeter with no totter!"
The good old days, I had the privledge of growing up in. What happened?
God Bless Tom ,
I wanted to see whether I would find it funny the way I did as a child in the late 60s watching in eastern Canada. It was hilarious.
What a heartwarming rendition! I sang along, too. ☺
Lol 🕊 😆 🤣 😂 😹 ❤ 🕊 MuchLove!!!
I was born in 03 and I love these guys
Their smiles!
Mom, I'm on my way...
How nice mom in audience and they acknowledge her. Unique they ask audience questions. Then respectful. Now 2024 likely rude. Thank you Tom. Rip 🙏🏽
Well done!

I missed their humor and music when they went off the air. I have an alto voice but had never learned to harmonize, so I was trying it when they sang. I didn't succeed.
this is great darn good show late sixties every sunday nite remembered when they first started on hootenanny early sixties. funny and real good singers and players RIP Tommy Tommy was the main force Dickie just followed his big bro lol
An excellent straight man (and musician).
They are so in between generations
What a beautiful metaphor for religion
RIP Tommy😔😔😔
The smothers brothers mother.😊
A small thing, but I like the cufflinks! Wish they would come back. I used to have a pretty good collection.
😊😊😊😊😊💖💖💖💖💖

Jerry, Jerry !
Mrs. Smothers has the same-shaped face as Tom. Kind of a rectangle.
Anyone heard their song "Ordinary Neighbor"? I remember it from when I was a kid and thought it was so hilarious, but can't find it on youtube. If anyone knows of it please let me know.
i don’t feel safe in the city no more
i don’t wanna die in a nuclear war
i wanna sail away to a distant shore
and make like an ape man.
I have a mother but I don't have a brother. Yes that is my real last name.
We have the Smothers Brothers, but are there others?
Well, there were The Marx Brothers: Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Karl.
@@jamesanthony8438 They did get great Marx for a while, too!
their show's halcyon days!...b4 the DARK clouds quickly moved in! 👇
rip tommy
Take it, Tom! No!
Followed by a fifteen minute Dickie lecture about the hallowed tradition of "taking it", and how you can't ethically refuse.
The married joke could get them into trouble these days.
Fuck these days, we need to bring back the old culture. This new world is becoming more corporatized, greedy, and cruel year by year.
Was that Pat Paulson in the first pan of the audience?
No one compares to Tommy and Dick.

Anyone notice how nice and respectfully dressed the
audience was? That’s because the audience was forced to dress that way. If they refused to meet their standards of dress and submit to the wardrobe crew on the show then the audience couldn’t come in. The exception was nudity. Sometimes they would perform before a totally nude audience.
A gem of the best elements of your humor! You should sue Trump for imitating that speech pattern!
The Federal Government hated the Smothers Brothers. Antiwar musicians were not popular with the Fed's.
Sounds like Kamala
Bumbling Biden 😅
@teresasugden466
I don't support a proven rapist for president, do you?
@rodandchance.....These guys would have had a field day with Trump. And George Carlin....oh my goodness Trump would have been chewed up and spit out and George would have asked why a college graduate speaks at a third grade level .
Back when women went to the "beauty shoppe" once a week and got their hair done... and used a ton of hair spray...
The audience isn't wearing t-shirts with rude or lewd statements.
Why does Dickie say they aren’t actually brothers?
That's when America was AMERICAN!!!!!!!!
You mean before they got taken off the air?
Yes. The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour had some of the most pointed political commentary on the air at that time. They got canceled for it.
And what did 'AMERICAN' look like then? There were as many or more problems in the '60s compared to today but it all depended on your perspective. I sure wouldn't have wanted to be a minority at that time, having to sit in the back of the bus and still having to drink from different water fountains and all the other stuff some folks had to suffer through. If you were a WASP, you were in pretty good shape for the most part. If WASP equates to AMERICAN, you can have it. That might not have been what you were thinking but any time I hear those kinds of comments, I have to wonder how much thought went into them.
I would've liked to seen them have Elvis guest star while wearing James Dean Rebel Without a Cause attire. That could've made the brothers independent of the illusion that the Kennedys were the visionaries they conned people into believing that they were with their good speechwriters. It would've also made the show more juicy, as Elvis was subjected to a controversial. They could've even had him guest star with Muhammad Ali, a fellow controversial draftee who also hid his fondness for Elvis, to send a message. They also can't really use that 1970 FBI memo about Elvis targeting The Smothers Brothers against him, as he also recommended targeting The Beatles, who he met in person and served as an influence for; he even met with George Harrison for a second time in 1972 and somehow, the stories about Ringo's views on him bounce from things like "didn't like him as a person" to "thought the Army did him in" and confuse me. A guest appearance making clear Elvis' fondness for James Dean would've most certainly been bad for the older conservatives; the Kennedys fit in more with that conservative audience and were even supportive of the Vietnam War for too long. RIP Tommy.
Did anyone notice how nicely and respectfully dressed the members of the audience were?
Yes ! Those were the days. No cowboy boots or hats , no long hair.
@@barryharrison2441I have long hair and I love the Smothers Brothers. I also like to dress nice when I go out to shows.
I did , wish we’d get back to that level of respect.
@@tsot9837we dress up every time we go out!
Yes. So what? What’s your point?
It's that time and day of the year again to remember there's no other but one so let's all get together and wish another happy Smothers Brothers Mother's Day to the Smothers Brothers mother. While we're at it let's don't forget the Carruthers mother.
"Come on Tommy, let's go smoke some crayolas." 🤣😂😅😁🤣
