I Love Lucy - 20 Controversial Facts

[@suzycreamcheesez4371]

lol! And this is really important to you isnt it!!

[@milano13able]

Sometimes when Ricky wasn’t in a scene, you can hear him laughing with the studio audience.

[@carpe996]

Now that's the kind of fact they should have included, and they should have had a simultaneous clip demonstratijg the fact, instead of using virtually zero clips demonstrating the "facts" presented.

[@ohdaddy2029]

I already knew that

[@HappySunshineDay]

You answered my question, thanks! His voice and laughter are so recognizable.

[@hardtfelt]

I've thought for years I could hear Lucy laughing in some scenes; there's a childish sort of laugh I've heard Lucy do that I'm sure I've heard in some scenes. I've never been able to find any mention of her adding her laughter to a scene though.

[@aftersexhighfives]

i noticed that as a kid too. loved his support for her. I wish he wasn't such a cheating scoundrel. they were so cute. especially in the candid real family home movies when their kids were little.

[@pikemeredith5604]

So glad Vivien Vance was cast as Ethel. Couldn't imagine anyone else playing her. Thought she was great in the "Charm School" episode where Lucy & Ethel become more glamorous to impress their husbands. It was hilarious to see her & Lucy done up on this episode. Miss Emerson who had the school was played by Natalie Schafer none other than Lovey Howell in another great memorable sitcom "Gilligan's Island". The likes of these shows will never been seen again. Thank heavens for DVDs or KZbin.

[@b2kzangelalwayz]

It’s hard to imagine what you aren’t familiar with when it comes to casting and fanbase loyalty.

[@babycakes904]

Absolutely

[@joesinkovits6591]

Desiree Ball’s “uh-oh” apparently became a Hollywood staple, because it was used on other Desilu-produced series like “My Three Sons.” I think It was also used in non-Desilu shows like “Leave It to Beaver.”

[@anewcreation8458]

Revealing the "Uh-oh" lady was my favorite fact! I had always thought she sounded a little like Lucy herself. Now to know it was her own mother makes so much sense. Thank you!

[@ferociousgumby]

It's just that they used the same laugh track for EVERY SITCOM in that era. I always thought the lady went "HA-hoo!" We used to imitate it all the time.

[@nicoleknight9412]

William Holden lighting Lucy's putty nose was an accident, but it was so hilarious they kept it in. Sorry you missed that.

[@ML-sy3bn]

The most surprising is that I remember hearing the woman in the audience say "uh oh".

[@ferociousgumby]

Did you ever notice the laugh tracks on all the old sitcoms were the same? You could hear the same laugh patterns and even the same individual laughs in all the series.

[@pkspalding]

The woman who would say, "uh oh!" was a relative of Lucille Ball, perhaps her mother or aunt. Cannot recall where I read this, but I saw it in two separate places. Seems Google-able. Oops! Posted this before watching full video. It was, indeed, her mother saying, "uh oh," 😅

[@eloiseockert6561]

Lucy's real life mother

[@ejne2]

After watching this and learning these facts only one word comes to mind, integrity, something that’s lacking everywhere these days. I love lucy has always been my favorite show and still can make me laugh as if I’d seen it for the first time.

[@tinomacchia5410]

‘Great job on your videos. FYI: the Italian lady in the grape stomping scene was a personal friend of our family. Her name was Teresa Tirelli. Besides acting, she also painted (she presented my family with a painting, which we still have today) and had an Italian weekly radio show.

[@gwendolynbien-aime1536]

To think the word “pregnant” was too vulgar for tv...

[@salvatoregrausso9266]

Tom Meadows Maybe they could’ve use bun in the oven

[@tinagiordanella3212]

Up until Psycho was released in 1960, it was also vulgar to show a toilet flushing on screen as well. That was all thanks to the Hayes Code. Of course, it's also funny to think that pre-Code movies showed all kinds of scandalous things like the first woman to act out an orgasm on screen (Hedy Lamarr in Ekstase, 1933).

[@Moreci1994]

You can also hear Ricky laughing from some of Lucy's scenes in the first season. He has a unique laugh!

[@ferociousgumby]

We used to imitate his laugh - it sounded sort of like "AY, AY, AY, AY, AY"

[@LJ-ht4zs]

I remember his laugh sometimes it was hilarious itself - he thoroughly enjoyed some of the scenes Lucy was in.

[@thomasmoeller3446]

Lucy wanted Desi to play her husband on TV because he was such a philanderer it was the only way to keep him close and not fooling around while on the road.

[@eloiseockert6561]

Didn't work.

[@glenniejunkin1816]

How did they get the toast to pop up and Lucy always caught it??

[@tresgib]

I liked the fact of Lucy's mother being the "ah oh" lady.

[@Cooperfan54]

I’ve seen the whole series through an uncountable amount of times and it wasn’t until this last run through that I noticed the two different size couch cushions. I had NO IDEA why. I think it’s hilarious when men have these overblown egos that make them take all these extra steps to keep the chip on their shoulder.

[@MHK1961]

Mentioning Desi wearing lifts in his shoes made me think of the scene where Ricky is disguised as the Tiger in the Publicity Agent episode...he looks very tall in that scene...lol

[@ThisIsAdamB]

Bea Benaderet starred in Petticoat Junction, not Green Acres. Same TV universe, many crossovers, but Bea was only in a few episodes of Green Acres.

[@feliciasantiago4345]

I truly enjoyed learning some of these, a few I already knew, but it’s always fun learning more. 💜👍🏼

[@bostonblackie9503]

Lucy's original last name on the radio show was Cougat, Liz and George Cougat. Which was eventually changed to Liz and George Cooper. Frankly don't remember her wanting Desi on the show he was busy with his band. There is a audio recording of "I Love Lucy" introduced by Desi, all kinds of reason for it's existence are given including that it was to be broadcast over the radio for people who lived in areas that did not as yet have television. Why don't you listen to the radio and find out the true facts. Gale and Bea were both committed to doing their radio show on television. Gale on "Our Miss Brooks," and Bea on "The Burns and Allen Show." Regardless both did appear on "I Love Lucy" on certain episodes, I think Gale was on the premier episode as the owner of the club. The Vitametavegamine routine was the same as the Red Skelton's Guzzler's Gin routine, a nice smooth drink.

[@Robert-ht7om]

It's funny that the realism he wanted in the scene where that long loaf of bread comes out of a small oven, was for the bread to be real.

[@HappySunshineDay]

I've read that the audience was served the bread after the filming.

I'm a huge animal lover/rescuer and everyone in our neighborhood knew this. A few yrs ago someone "dumped" 2 female dogs off on my front porch. One is a lil (and I mean little) redhead with ALOT of personality and the other is a beautiful pitt that's extremely mellow and passive. I kept trying to find them a good home that would keep them together. After about 8 mths I knew they already had their home with me (already had 2 boy dogs). While I was fostering them I had to name them. I came up with Lucy and Ethel. Lucy cuz she's a redhead and very in charge and Ethel (the passive pitt) cuz she goes along with whatever lil Lucy gets her into.

Right, Eve. That boss lady was in a lot of earlier sitcoms, I just can't recall her real name.

Just came to me. The boss lady was ELVIA ALLMAN. You name the sitcom and somewhere along the line she was in it.

[@breezy9297]

Why are these controversial? Also your background is so loud at times that the narrator can't be heard.

[@meredithmericle7487]

It was the 1950's, the age of the so-called perfect family. There was no cursing, no sex or even hint of sex, nothing that even hinted at an impropriety. That is the fantasy people wanted-- sort of an escape from real life. In fact, when Elvis Presley appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in the 50's, he was only filmed from the waist up because of his gyrations.

[@FerdinandCesarano]

4:50 - Just a note on the pronunciation of Bea Benaderet's name. You gave it a French-style pronunciation (ben-a-derr-AY); but she used a completely anglicised pronunciation (ben-a-DERR-et).

[@markcadieux3445]

Technically she worked for Lucy anyway, She was on "Our Miss Brooks," Gale Gordon too. They both did episodes of ILL. Filmed at Desilu studios.

[@FerdinandCesarano]

Bea Benaderet did many things. But I don't believe she appeared on "Our Miss Brooks". Perhaps you are confusing her for Eve Arden, who played the lead character Connie Brooks. The most prominent role that Benaderet had in her prime years was that of Blanche Morton, the neighbour and friend of Gracie Allen on the Burns and Allen show, first on radio and then on television. And that was after having made a big hit as one of the chatty CBS telephone operators, Gertrude Gearshift, on Jack Benny's radio show. (Side note: Burns and Allen were the only radio greats who stepped it up on the move to television. The king of radio, Jack Benny had a long television career, and he was indeed funny. But, if you saw Jack Benny only on television, you wouldn't grasp why he is considered a god. Whereas, Burns and Allen's television show was the best thing that they ever did.) Later on, of course, Benaderet voiced Betty Rubble on "The Flintstones"; and still later she appeared as a regular on "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Green Acres" (neither of which I watched much). But she wasn't on "Our Miss Brooks".

[@markcadieux3445]

Lovely video, very well done. But you got a fact wrong in the candy scene. The woman you showed in the candy wrapping scene was a professional actress. The woman in the “dipping” scene was the woman who slapped Lucy and made chocolate. She had no lines. She absolutely hated doing the episode and never watched the I love Lucy show because she was a wrestling fan. Wrestling was on another network at the same time as I Love Lucy.

[@Starter.Video2023]

One thing that could have been emphasized more was how pioneering the show was. (They literally invented the multi-cam sitcom-that's a big deal!) Desilu Productions made a deal with CBS to shoot in Los Angeles, taking a paycut in exchange for owning the films. (That's mentioned in the video.) Then, they LICENSED the rights back to CBS to air the show creating what would become syndication.

[@CaseAgainstFaith1]

I think this was just a generic laugh track. It was kind of like the Flintstones where in a chase scene the same background would go by about 15 times.

[@14stuyvesantoval]

My mother and I were watching "I Love Lucy" years ago. Lucy and Ricky were having some quarrel with Ricky screaming in Spanish, etc. My mother told me that, actually, "I Love Lucy" was not that unrealistic; it reflected married life in the 1950's pretty accurately - especially when the Ricardos fought over money. I love: Lucy misses the boat for Europe; the Mertzes get pissed in Hollywood when they think Ricky wasn't going to get their fare home paid for; Madame "X". I hate when Lucy's mother gets Ricky's name wrong. But people do that. It is a form of arrogance and hostility. The episode when an actor couple takes an apartment in the building is OK, but Hayden Rorke is very bad as the husband. He sounds so dumb when he calls his wife "Baby." But, I was by then used to him from being Dr. Bellows in "I Dream Of Jeannie." At times, though, Lucy is really nothing but a spoiled brat. Another great one: She and Ethel bottle salad dressing. They make a TV ad; Lucy first plays this ditzy lady, Isabella Clump, laughing with her lips together. "Aunt who's, old what's, salad which?!" I think in her memoirs, Vivian Vance said Lucille Ball was so awful to her that she needed a "fee-suh-kee-a-trist," as Ricky would say.

[@mitros4]

I was most surprised by the actors who played Fred and Ethel hating each other.

[@garyranieri3856]

When 'Lucy' was done, there was talk about a 'spinoff' focusing on the Mertzes but Vivian Vance didn't think that the characters were interesting enough to be feature characters and moreso, she didn't want to work with Frawley in scene after scene, episode after episode although Frawley was willing to give it a go

[@wshoovler]

I’ve heard that same female ‘uh-oh’ voice on many episodes (I figured it was ‘canned’ and just reused countless times) - but had no clue it was Lucy’s actual mom! Another thing about tv back then that was odd was how even married couples always had twin beds on camera and were never seen in the same bed together. Nothing like what we see on there today - nowadays even people just having a fling or one-nighter leave nothing to the imagination. Still hard to imagine why tv crews back then were so guarded about something that’s a natural part of life & quite necessary in order to keep our species going!

[@mamalillycat8756]

The very first fact was almost true. The producers didn't want a foreigner on the show was only a fraction of truth. They didn't want a Cuban on the show. Remember, that the U.S.A. was not at all friends at this time with Cuba and vise versa. It was not personal to Desi, just of what Americans thought of Cuba. That's why Desi and Lucy took their skit on the road and they did the test audiences.

I don't know. I Love Lucy started in 1951. The Cuban revolution didn't start until July 26, 1953. And Castro didn't oust Batista until New Year's Eve 1958- 1959. That's when relations started to sour between Cuba and the US. Relations were good during the entirety of the Batista years. Looks to me like I Love Lucy had been on TV for 8 years before relations soured with Cuba.

That smoking bit was pretty interesting... Effin' Phillip-Morris. 😏

[@carpe996]

Interesting but I could have just read this since you provided very few "clips" demonstrating the " facts" you were presenting.

[@patricerodgis9889]

Guys be honest I do it too, do y'all come to the comments just to be first LOL

[@mel92765]

I'm interested in the 20 facts, it's fascinating, but it's hard to hear the narrator when there are multiple sounds playing at the same time. Also, my attention keeps going to the show when it's played. It would be helpful if all sound was muted when the narrator is talking, then shows clips without the narrator speaking. (or the way facts 6-10 were done.) Thank you.

I completely agree. In fact I'm not going to be able to finish this clip for all the extraneous noise unfortunately.

[@kristophertower3476]

for any trekkies out there, thank lucy and desi for it..........they had so much money they had their own studio.....and they made the original star trek there......maybe even funded it too

My son was an I Love Lucy junkie!

[@marzadky4934]

"Fran" the actress looks so much like her. It's really spooky especially since there is a little bit of their real life.

4:51 You pronounced Bea Benaderet's name WRONG!!!

[@zapkvr]

That's hilarious about Harpo

[@rnorth8812]

Bea Benaderet's "other project" was Burns and Allen, a classic in its own right. I don't mind I Love Lucy but I prefer Burns and Allen. Gracie is a gem.
