bye bye birdie - ed sullivan

[@smokeythebandit1889]

I know it's a musical film, but it always cracked me up that he starts singing a random song about Ed Sullivan XD

[@joehill8014]

Yes, but its Ed Sullivan!😃

[@TicTacT0e3inarow]

Then it did it’s job 😊

[@helenrigmaiden6375]

And now so do I 55+ years after doing the musical in HS!😅

[@kennylesko2378]

Classic. I love that Turtle on.Speed that pops up now and then

[@AA-ro4un]

I think we all did. My sister just send me this clip to laugh 😂 gets us all every time!

[@rhondadavis3612]

i swear this movie never gets OLD TOO ME specially this part ed i love you

[@helenrigmaiden6375]

OMG! I love this song! In 1965'66 we did this muslin high school.

[@EarlofSuave308]

RIP Paul Lynde, he never fails to make me laugh out loud.

[@LadyMaven]

LOVE him, always.

[@monkmchorning]

His mad "testimonial" and cackling laugh at the end are immortal.

[@username178able]

Still find this hysterical after all these years!! Love this , especially Paul Lynde!

[@UNOwen1]

For those who either don't know who Ed Sullivan was, or how POWERFUL an appearance was, back then, there were just 3 networks, and, as everyone (literally) was off the streets when I Love Lucy was airing, when Sunday nights rolled around, everyone was tuned to Ed Sullivan. With the explosion in the past couple of decades - first with cable, now with internet, the numbers (ratings) an average episode of his show would get, are next-to-impossible to do now. So, having the MacAfees singing this almost hymnal-like song (Paul Lynde is, as always hysterical), with Harry getting so choked-up, - meeting Ed, was akin t having a private meeting with the Queen, he was THAT big.

@Imani M Not really. Today's superstar is tomorrow's Dancing With The Stars guest is next week's forgotten mention in the Oscar's In Memorium segment. Remember man, you are dust...

[@thomasauslander3757]

The only people ever got slapped on Ed Sullivan where the clowns.. 🤡

[@Zoras88]

I think a way to explain him in a way for people today to better understand, is that he was the original Oprah.

[@andywinslow9638]

He was dead I think 2 decades before I was born. I know who he was.

[@jorvelort]

"I've got a wonderful wife ... two swell kids ... a good business ... and now this! Ha ha ha ha...!"

This is pure satirical genius.

Indeed.

[@WillScarlet16]

There's no wakeup call like hearing Paul Lynde say "I love you."

[@angelalewis1313]

"he's my favorite human" I've never been so happy to hear this 😂😂

[@thEannoyingE]

It’s bizarre hearing something so contemporary in 1964.

[@LucyHaskell-qx6nu]

He’s mine too-holy shit your right😂

[@photasticimages9258]

Don't know why, but this scene/song just randomly popped into my head. Glad this video is available to appease the ear worm! 😂

[@jubalcalif9100]

Holy Underwear, Batman ! Great tune from a great musical ! I grew up watching Ed Sullivan's TV show in the 60's and 70's. He tried to have something for every age group. THANKS for uploading this fun clip !! CHEERS !! :-)

[@jeremyud]

Honestly, I love that this really does look like a completely believable family, physical resemblance-wise.

[@dancepiglover]

1:36-1:46 always makes me laugh the most, especially that crazed laugh of his!

[@heywilbur]

the laugh... my thoughts exactly :-)

[@HauntFreak13]

His Jack Nicholson laugh lol

[@jimmyjohnson9615]

This is Comedy Gold . So well done . You just have to smile or laugh.

[@aquaboogiebaby9653]

Am old enough to remember when this movie came out. LOL every time I think of this scene. TOO FUNNY! Loved Paul Lynde!

Cy@esse’ - I saw this at the drive in when I was like 9 I thought wow if I grow up to remotely look like Ann margret I won’t know what to do with myself.funniest movie musical since some like it hot.

[@simeonrice6047]

One of the, "'Why did this need to happen again?' 'Trust me it does.'" moments from the show.

[@eil77]

That is some advanced humor

[@davidmehnert6206]

This clip is like finding a Mormon recipe book.

[@johnburkardt3202]

I don't know whether this scene is parodying the squeaky clean '50s or paying tribute to them and that's why this scene is great in my opinion.

[@mrhyde5280]

In the same movie the mother tries to commit suicide by burying her head in an electric oven - of course it's a parody!

[@johnburkardt3202]

@@mrhyde5280 I know it is...my comment was stating that it could be parodying multiple aspects of '50s culture.

[@arrow_of_ravenclaw5155]

I think a little bit of both

[@Connie2S]

That is the greatest song!

[@dancepiglover]

Paul Lynde was the best thing in this movie.

[@ljre3397]

Paul Lynde was such an amazing comic actor. From Bewitched to Bye Bye Birdie to Hollywood Squares such an amazing talent. Too bad he wasn’t treated fairly and taken advantage of.

[@thomasauslander3757]

As much as I love Paul Lynde he had a lot of personal problems as do the comedy clowns..

[@thEannoyingE]

Brilliant bit of satire, I’m convinced Paul adlibbed that last line, it just seems like a weird thing he would do.

[@mylesharris6329]

Nope it was scripted in the Broadway and in this version

[@thegreatpowerfuldave2469]

@@mylesharris6329 You're right, the line found its way into the script of the Broadway production, but it was originally ad libbed by Paul Lynde during rehearsals. 'Birdie's' composer Charles Strouse writes about it in his autobiography. The creative team loved the ad lib so much that they put it in the script.

[@noniway8013]

I love this movie with Paul

[@MissusKuromi]

I'm forever singing when I have play practice on Bye Bye Birdiem

[@hifrommike2120]

At the wrap party for this film, Paul Lynde stood up & said, "Am I the only man here who doesn't want to f--- Ann-Margret?" 🙃

[@aurathoma1047]

okay anyone who is saying that nick jonas should play birdie in the live theater filmed version of the musical. I disagree completely. The real person who should play this part is BRENDON URIE!! hes got the voice and the personality to go with it!! please start a trend #URIEFORBIRDIE on whatever social media you have and lets make it happen!!

[@themudkipkingcalvin2400]

Or a good singer and actor could play him...

How are there so little views for this comedy gold????

[@robertpaul5065]

Paul Lynde, the outest Hollywood actor ever. On Hollywood Squares tv show was asked “Aboard a ship when a man falls into the sea they shout ‘Man overboard!’, what do they shout if a woman falls into the ocean?” He replied “Full speed ahead!”

He must have liked it enough to play himself in this film.

Corey Adams makes sense👏

[@Garrettk41]

@@MMM-rt8xo Not to mention enough to let the original cast perform this very song on his show in real life.
