It's funny cause when I was a kid we all watched Sanford and Son. It was one of the greatest sitcoms in TV history. It didn't matter white black brown red and yellow everybody loved Fred G. Sanford!
I'm a 51 year old white Male, I stayed with my grandparents while my dad work out of town, my grandfather would watch Sanford and son every night and he let me stay up late and watch it with him. My grandfather and loved Redd Fox. I can still see him laid back in his recliner and laughing like crazy at Fred,Grady, and aunt Ester.
My grandma let me stay up late and watch Benny Hill when she looked after me when parents went out..she had a hell ofa laugh and sense of humor..times have changed😕
My ex was Asian Indian, I am white. His mom did not speak English, but we enjoyed Benny's wordless skits together 🤣. My dad loved Redd Foxx, All in the Family, etc and now my biracial kids (in their 30s) do
@@TheRojo387 Well, no, it's a fictional TV show, and a court would never allow that behavior, and a lawyer has to show proof of being licensed attorney. But the thing it was satirizing, yeah, cops targeted blacks for small crimes.
Hilarious now? I bet some Liberals don't think that Tarzan comment was very funny. What if a white guy said that today? He'd be murdered for it for sure. We are way too hypersensitive today. Sigh
I had the privilege to watch about 4 different live tapings at NBC Studios. He was even funnier during bloopers. The whole audience would be in stitches. Little did I realize I was watching history in the making. A legend in comedy.
@@markasflood8196... Sure did! I used to send for free tickets to NBC Studios in Burbank. Not as much as I liked, but it was fun. I saw Laverne & Shirley twice, The New Laugh In ( saw Robin Williams in his debut there). He made the rest of the comedians crack up. Went to a few taping of The Midnight Special (imagine free concert tickets and the seats were on the floor so you got to be almost front row. Saw Santana, George Benson, Tom Jones, ELO... . I saw 2 episodes of Chico and the Man ( two weeks later Freddie Prinze committed suicide). Saw a few pilot episodes of new shows, and many Johnny Carson shows. Yes, the real johnny Carson. The reason for me going was that I was intrigued by how movies and shows were made. Behind the scene stuff. I wanted to be a cameraman for a studio. But unfortunately it didn't happen. I STILL love behind the scenes bonus stuff on my DVDs. Lol. Fun and interesting experiences. All free too!!
@@markasflood8196 ... Yes. They had a live audience there too. Went to 2 taping. I wished I would've seen Happy Days, but those tickets were hard to come by. Also went to Century City Studios. I lived in East Los Angeles at the time, maybe an hour in traffic to get to the studios. Used to send a self-adressed stamped envelope with a request of how many tickets I wanted, usually a limit of 4 or 6. They would mail them back in the stamped envelope I supplied. I hear they have ticket booths around those areas for free tickets and are handed out on a first come basis. They always over issue tickets, so being at the taping early is also important. Also, being a wrestling fan, I used to go to KCOP studios, ch.13, in L.A. the seating were bleachers, so every seat had a ring-side view. Fun times and great memories.
I saw this when it first aired. I'm 73, been watchin' TV since way back in the day, and that line about the Tarzan movie made me laugh of hard I literally fell off my chair. My friends used to come over on Sanford nights and we'd all watch it together, and those dudes were all rolling on the floor too. EASILY the funniest line ever said on network television. Damn near 50 years later and it still makes me laugh. People, the PC assholes have KILLED comedy. Let's ignore those fools and get back to laughing!
I totally agree! PC idiots are so missing the whole point! Look at how they act about great stuff like Blazing Saddles. Comedy is great form of commentary that all too often gets misunderstood and passed over. Some of the stuff that was done on Saturday Night Live and Firesign Theatre was great as well, worthy of a "retro progressive" search kiddies. Let's make Tuberville great again.
Just a quibble a little bit with you it would be better for you to say you feel is the funniest line in Network television I'm sure a lot of people would have a different vote Seinfeld had some lines with George when he's trying to break up from Elaine they were out of this world and Al Bundy had some lines too so just say you feel that way it's more accurate but you do make a good case just don't overstate it in the future. Don't forget JJ has some lines too and The fresh Prince it goes on and on so slow your roll
I like red fox always watch this show but I truly hate the word n-word so many people I've been offended down through the years and lost their lives and suffered because of that word just say that you got enough black people to make a Tarzan movie when we quit labeling people white African America Irish English and any other name outside of human will never have equal rights among people
I’m pushing 60 years old - these shows were so funny: this one, , All in The Family, The Jeffersons(George Jefferson calling all the white people ”Honky”), Good Times, Chico & The Man...🤣🤣🤣
People are too butt hurt to have shows like this nowadays. Even stand up comedians have had to change. Everyone is offended so easily. Quit being such cry babies! Redd Foxx was crude and HILARIOUS 👍
Because it would give every white closeted racist a license to go around calling black people _niggers_ after 5 sad years of Donald Trump on our televisions.
@@Helmuesi911 It has to do with being free. NBC writers felt free writing this script and Redd Foxx felt free saying the N word for laughs. Can you imagine NBC writers writing a similar script today? Not in my lifetime going forward.
A black friend of mine told me it doesn't bother him at all. His own kind used on him so much he got used of it. BTW, there is another episode where Fred uses that word on Rollo.
I'm a 51 year old white man and I used to stay up late at night with my grandfather and watch Sanford and son. Redd Fox was pure raw natural talent and care what he said. He was the greatest.
How could we forget that laughing at each other’s differences is what also helped us embrace those same differences. Children and young adults today sadly will never know rabbit ears and only picking up channels 3,5,and9 on a small television perched atop a larger broken floor model tv. Lol
@@charlesjonessr3684 you're probably too young to know what he meant by rabbit ears. He meant the old model televisions they had back in the early days
@@charlesjonessr3684 I think he meant TV before the political correctness came in. People may not agree with Fred Sanford, but they still found him quite funny. Nowadays people seem oversenstive, that's why they won't put shows like Sanford and son or all in the family on TV anymore.
You could get in some serious trouble back then caught up in the wrong crowd, I don't use that n nor c word or no other.. some laugh at many didn't of not just one but from many tribes creeds nations...
Because we became a society of pansies. Everybody's feelings get hurt and they need their safe place. I miss shows like All In The Family, The Jeffersons, and Sanford And Son.
Because the Marxist Democrats LOVE to arouse tensions in a society... they want trouble and division, not laughter and relaxing life between people of different backgrounds and lineage. “Divide and Conquer” is their modus operandi.
I still record and watch Sanford and Son today. I have probably seen every episode at least 20 times over the years, but that comedy never dies. Red Foxx was a true comedian.
He wasn’t lying! I went to traffic court once and all I saw were brothers and sisters. Fred said what we wanted to say but couldn’t! These old TV shows are priceless!
"You the judge that don't count" 😂 Duke, Redd Foxx was a G! This whole show, the Jeffersons, All in the Family, comedy gold! It is such a damn shame people can't look at each other eye to eye and laugh anymore
Redd remembered his friends, too. Skillet, Leroy, Melvin, Esther, and others who appeared-- they were all comics / performers he toured with on the Chitlin Circuit.
The first time I saw this I must have been about twelve. I literally fell on the floor laughing! It took me about fifteen minutes to get myself together! 😂😂😂😂
The power of an insult should only be equal to the amount of respect one has for the person hurling the insult. So if some inbred idiot calls you a stupid name, why should it matter if you do not respect said idiot?
Fred 'why don't you arrest some white drivers?' Officer 'I do' Fred ' you do? Looks around courtroom 'well where are they? Look at all these N...... In here, you got enough N......

@Stoopid Steve the one I lived fool!!! I'm 65 and never seen the shit I have seen these pass few years.. Maybe ur thinking of your own little world who thought only you counted!!
I remember watching this as a kid, because at the time I was reading Tarzan books. That’s why this episode stuck in my mind this was one of my favorite shows growing up, and the theme music was just great.👍😁😎
Grandmother here. Life wasn't simple then - but people could laugh at life because they had what many today lack: humility. People are so darned egotistical today - you can't say anything without someone getting their feathers ruffled. And people were humble because many of them lived through the privation of the 30s, fought in WW2, and raise and were raised in families. You knew you needed each other.
I'm white and i watched Sanford and son since i was a kid. This is one of the greatest sitcoms ever. Redd foxx is definitely one of the greatest. All in the family and Sanford and son are timeless classics.
@@JoeMama-kj7bq You’re insisting that one Individual (me), somehow effects all of society and how it operates by the way that I raised *MY* non existent children? Lmao, ugh.. ok...?
Red Fox is TV show royalty. I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Something so natural and raw about this. Today's entertainment is exhausted of anything authentic
I’m Mexican 38 grew up watching these shows with my grandpa he taught me never to judge a person by there skin color only by their character I truly miss these shows🤣🤣🤣🤣
It wasn’t the government. When Reagan had his FCC kill the Fairness Doctrine it led to Fox and over 500 right wing radio fanatics all spewing out lies, conspiracy theories and hate. They filled the airwaves with right wing pus that caused a huge split between sane, rational people and gullible right wing fanatics that are now MAGA republicans. Reagan was a psychopath who destroyed the middle class. But moronic rightwing religious fanatics live psychopaths. Now those idiots are worshipping Trump and trying to destroy the country. They are the most clueless, stupid, gullible people in world history.
My Dad and I would watch and laugh out loud. Fred reminded me of Dad and Lamont reminded me of my brother. It didn’t matter that the color of our skin was white. Thanks for posting!
Back in days when the N word wasn't taken seriously & it was the norm. I haven't seen Sanford & Son since my high school days. I still bust out laughing when Fred and his friends Bubba, Grady & Skillet put in their punch lines.
Whoever played the Policeman should have gotten an award, That Sceen by Redd Foxx was Not in the script and yet He was able to keep a straight face and keep going.
Do ya,ll see Grady,s girlfriend DIMPPLES , sitting in the background??? LOL Remember, she said when Grady introduced her to Lamont and she said,,He,s Cute,, Grady said ,heres tha door, LOLOL,
I remember this particular scene because I must have repeated that line everyday for 2 weeks in school (my elementary school was roughly 98% black so the punchline always worked) 🤣🤣🤣
You’d NEVER be allowed to air this show, The Jefferson’s, Married with Children, All in the Family, or even In Living Color these days. They made fun of EVERYONE, and someone would be offended by something & try to “cancel” them.
ME'N MY HOMEBOY LOVE SANFORD & SON. WE SOMETIMES ACT OUT THE FUNNIEST WISECRACKS FRED(FOXX) WOULD SAY. EVEN, WHEN WE ARE REALLY STONED. THAT'S WHEN WE LAUGH THE HARDEST.
" A black man ain't gotta chance down here"
" I'm black"
" You don't count, you the judge"

Exactly, real life right there.
He perpetuates his white supremacy by being black.

@@daffyduckfan4478 everybody that I knew and hung around with. Overall America. We did not see the hate the way we see it now. And most of these hate groups were keeping to themselves in the sewers, because they knew better back then cause we didn't put up with the bullshit!!!
@@mrbuckaroobonzai Who did you know the fucking smurfs¿
@Stoopid Steve the one I lived fool!!! I'm 65 and never seen the shit I have seen these pass few years.. Maybe ur thinking of your own little world who thought only you counted!!
I loved how this episode ended. The judge found Lamont not guilty but found Fred guilty of contempt. Smart judge.👍
I remember watching this as a kid, because at the time I was reading Tarzan books. That’s why this episode stuck in my mind this was one of my favorite shows growing up, and the theme music was just great.👍😁😎
As someone who grew up with the Tarzan books and movies, that line is a classic.
Back when life was simple.
Grandmother here. Life wasn't simple then - but people could laugh at life because they had what many today lack: humility.
People are so darned egotistical today - you can't say anything without someone getting their feathers ruffled.
And people were humble because many of them lived through the privation of the 30s, fought in WW2, and raise and were raised in families. You knew you needed each other.
In the whole 6 seasons, he used the N word like 5 times or so. All those times were so funny, that audience was always rolling laughing hard. 😂😂😂
I'm white and i watched Sanford and son since i was a kid. This is one of the greatest sitcoms ever. Redd foxx is definitely one of the greatest. All in the family and Sanford and son are timeless classics.
@Brandon Bell Three's company is pretty lame. A man living with two women and just being buddies. Pretty weird.
@Brandon Bell Not as comical as the ones i mentioned.
@Brandon Bell You are bullshitting. John Ritter was a dork compared to Carroll O'Connor.
@Brandon Bell So do i. We won't agree. I'm fine with that.
@Brandon Bell Why the confusion
Fred G. Sanford Can Say What Ever He Wants!!! Sanford and Son was one of the best shows on TV. 👴🏽👍🏽 😂😂
If this were on Prime time tv,today's generation would get PTSD from just 1 episode😁
You nailed it.
Nah, the petition to cancel Sanford and Son would be up
Today’s generation would support this episode. They’d probably support the theme of it and laugh at the jokes
You are delusional.
@@KnightroBlue22 true
The absolute best lines ever! I miss Redd!
Were times like these perfect? No.
Were they still better than this shit hole society we live in now?
100000%
Y'all should've raised your children better.
@@JoeMama-kj7bq You’re insisting that one Individual (me), somehow effects all of society and how it operates by the way that I raised *MY* non existent children? Lmao, ugh.. ok...?
That was back when you could say what you wanted and got a good laugh.🤣👌
Red Fox is TV show royalty. I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Something so natural and raw about this. Today's entertainment is exhausted of anything authentic
I’m Mexican 38 grew up watching these shows with my grandpa he taught me never to judge a person by there skin color only by their character I truly miss these shows🤣🤣🤣🤣
I miss him.
When the country actually knew what was funny & was not.
Dumbest shit I ever heard.
Said no black man ever.
@@johnsrabe 👈Speaks for all of Black men!
@@jonmacdonald5345 what i wrote is no dumber than the people who write “when everyone got along with one another.”
@@johnsrabe Thank you
We ALL watched it and we ALL laughed together. This is before the government convinced us we hated each other.
It wasn’t the government. When Reagan had his FCC kill the Fairness Doctrine it led to Fox and over 500 right wing radio fanatics all spewing out lies, conspiracy theories and hate. They filled the airwaves with right wing pus that caused a huge split between sane, rational people and gullible right wing fanatics that are now MAGA republicans. Reagan was a psychopath who destroyed the middle class. But moronic rightwing religious fanatics live psychopaths. Now those idiots are worshipping Trump and trying to destroy the country. They are the most clueless, stupid, gullible people in world history.
My Dad and I would watch and laugh out loud. Fred reminded me of Dad and Lamont reminded me of my brother. It didn’t matter that the color of our skin was white. Thanks for posting!
Love all of Fred's boys cheering him on lol
You got to love it when you're having fun with the truth. Redd Foxx was the man. And one of the best black Comics of his day.
Best Comic
I miss him so much. There is no one like him.
Fred G. Sanford, and the G is for "Get over it"
Tarzan movie! That line along with “make gorilla cookies” with Ester are the best one liners in TV history
This is when people could laugh at each other and people didn't get offended like they do today.
Fred G. Sanford.... the G stands for GANGSTA
FUNNIEST THING EVER TO BE SAID ON TV
Check out Randy Marsh on Wheel of Fortune!
In 1972, Fred Sanford spoke the real 💯 percent truth! Here it is 2021...and it’s nearly the same. SMH....
Sandford & Son, All in The Family & The Jeffersons are classics that could never be duplicated
Love Sanford and son rest in peace Redd foxx
Fred Sanford was funny as hell. They don't make good shows like that anymore 🤔.
What an awesome episode!! That was hilarious!! It came from an era when everyone had a sense of humour!!
Watched this show I was just a boy, he is still one of the funniest men ever!!
Oh my gosh I needed that laugh 🤣 we need to keep this history uncancelled.
Back in days when the N word wasn't taken seriously & it was the norm. I haven't seen Sanford & Son since my high school days. I still bust out laughing when Fred and his friends Bubba, Grady & Skillet put in their punch lines.
Here we go. “Why can he say it but I can’t?!?”
Cuz dats racist
You’re not his counsel
I have heard plenty white people say it in movies but in person no. Your most likely being derogatory
You can, it’s NOT in the constitution & I’m unaware of any law that says you can’t
You can fucking say it, all you have to do is not give a damn about this "censor everything" sissy generation.
Shows back then really had the balls to tackle real world problems.
Damn I miss the seventies!!!
Whoever played the Policeman should have gotten an award, That Sceen by Redd Foxx was Not in the script and yet He was able to keep a straight face and keep going.
You mean that was ad-libbed? DAMN.
Veteran Patriot
How do you know that "sceen" wasn't scripted?
Were you a member of the production staff?
@@michaelmantle6043 I think this episode was written by Paul Mooney. I pretty sure it was scripted
@@NBUltra187 you are right
Patriot, were are in the production of this episode?, if not them please be quiet. You don't have any clue what was scripted or unscipted.
Fred G. Sanford and the G stands for GOAT. This was one of my favorite shows by far.
43 yr old white guy here, this was my favorite show when I was a kid.
I'll be 43 in 2 and a half weeks,I Laffer so hard.
Saw this the last time,I was 40.in the hosp.
Holy moly, heaven forbid we say this now! I grew up with these shows and it had no bearing on me. It was just another funny show.
Couldn't say it back then either. Keep in mind this was a TV Show
I saw this episode a few nights ago uncensored on Get-TV. It was nice to hear that the Get-TV network didn't bleep out Fred saying nigger.
TV One doesn't edit it out during reruns either!
This never gets old.
Love how he uses humor to talk about issues we're still dealing with (driving while black)
I wish Red Fox and Mel Brooks could have made a movie or show together.
I wish they could've had Fred Sanford and Archie Bunker together for an episode.
well when you have somebody like Paul Mooney behind the pen this is what you're going to get.😂😂
Do ya,ll see Grady,s girlfriend DIMPPLES , sitting in the background??? LOL Remember, she said when Grady introduced her to Lamont and she said,,He,s Cute,, Grady said ,heres tha door, LOLOL,
Great eye I definitely had to check that part out 😜😜 lol you had me cracking up when I thought about that 🤣😉 lol
Yes
Still LMAO at this.
That was on the funniest moments ever of Sanford and Son. This wouldn't fly on television today.
Best lines in comedy history
God that was a whole different life back then.
I remember this particular scene because I must have repeated that line everyday for 2 weeks in school (my elementary school was roughly 98% black so the punchline always worked) 🤣🤣🤣
You’d NEVER be allowed to air this show, The Jefferson’s, Married with Children, All in the Family, or even In Living Color these days. They made fun of EVERYONE, and someone would be offended by something & try to “cancel” them.
Good Times, too.
the way the GOP cancelled Liz Cheney today?
@@latinguy67 what a stupid comment .... I’d explain it to you but your little Liberal brain wouldn’t be able to grasp the difference .
@@carlosdanger947 You can't fix stupid @loveloses!
That was the funniest,most comical show of all time when we could laugh at each other& not get offended good times back then
His one liners are LEGENDARY .
Back when America wasn’t a complete laughing stock of a nation.
ME'N MY HOMEBOY LOVE SANFORD & SON. WE SOMETIMES ACT OUT THE FUNNIEST WISECRACKS FRED(FOXX) WOULD SAY. EVEN, WHEN WE ARE REALLY STONED. THAT'S WHEN WE LAUGH THE HARDEST.
When you vote in Liberals and Democrat socialist, comedy like this dies. IT'S YOUR FAULT.
Those were the days Amos & Andy , Stanford & Son, all talented wonderful entertainers to name a couple, truly missed.
"There's enough n*ggas in here to make a Tarzan movie!" xD
