My family has been laughing over that line “I am not the father of that cheese” for decades.

[@kjricardo249]

It’s so funny!

Still do, every time we buy this cheese😂😂😂😂 0:52

"He hates to drink alone." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this episode I swear

[@LabbyLover]

Classic! Laughed so hard it bright tears to my eyes!

[@christianmarieh6456]

I wonder why this one didn't achieve icon status like the chocolate factory and the vitavitavegimen episodes. Both Lucy and Desi gave top notch comedic performances and the writing was solidly funny.

[@kjricardo249]

A lot of Lucy fans love this episode!

[@moemcgovern7345]

How about when they built the Bar B Que. Fred said "I'll be a Monkey's uncle". Rickey's response was "I don't want to hear any more about Fred's relatives". Cracked me up.

[@lesliezucker3862]

One of my favorite

“Lucy eats her baby on a plane” doesn’t have the same ring to it 😅

The grape stomping episode is another 😂

[@sprague49]

By the time Lucy moved to Westport, Connecticut I guess she'd forgotten about meeting Betty Ramsey on the plane a few years back. LOL

She was Cynthia Harcourt in the women from Mars episode

[@rebeccar628]

I remember watching this on Nick at Night when I was a teenager and my mom asked me the next morning what in earth I was laughing so hard about. I was crying from laughing. So good.

[@clarysl18]

🤣👍

[@markwhitman9029]

"Cheddar aaah Chester!" LMAO! Also all the other Lucy lines

I just watched again and laughed hysterically. My favorite "I Love Lucy" episode along with the Ricardos and the Mertez in the cabin when the train comes along and moves the bed across the room.🤣

I just realized the lady sitting next to Lucy plays Betty Ramsey 😊

She screamed so loud lol I cackle every time at Lucy’s reaction when she hears the piercing scream lol never gets old

[@kjricardo249]

I know! Haha!

[@crmay72]

Agreed! What makes it even funnier is how blaise Lucy was about it just being a piece of cheese and being all relaxed (that it's over) and laughing to herself right before the lady screams, LOL.

[@Mr.EmeraldTheGreen]

It wasn’t shown in this clip but it’s so hysterical when the police officer asks Ricky for an explanation, and he gives a hilarious synopsis, and the officer asks, “Didn’t you think this was rather strange behavior??” And Ricky says “FOR LUCY?? No.” 😆😆❤️

[@kjricardo249]

I love that!

@@kjricardo249 IKR? I love Ricky’s blunt answer, “FOR LUCY??? NO.”

The other lady with the baby was Mary Jane Croft. She would later appear in The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy.

[@SpyroFan001]

I always thought it would’ve been hilarious if the other lady’s baby had been fake too. Like a loaf of French bread or something. XD

[@kjricardo249]

Haha, that’d be hilarious!

[@elfari100]

This stuff is gold. Stands the test of time. Although I thought back in the 50s you could bring anything on a plane😂

[@rtususian]

Yes I'm curious how much security there was at airports in the 50s. Did they have X-ray devices then for the luggage and carry ons?

[@evannasong8356]

They’re just doing that because Ricky was too cheap to bring the souvenirs in the plane. Things are weighted before they bring it on the plane.

[@katepalmer4540]

Ricky's face priceless I'm not the father of that cheese hahaha

[@kjricardo249]

I love that! 😂

Lucy was the best comedienne ever! I felt really sad the day she passed away. I still like watching her shows. Even after all these years still so funny. Maybe a little outdated but still fun watching…

I don’t know what’s more funnier: that Lucy thought this would work or that Lucy drew a smiley face on the cheese’s “face”

[@kjricardo249]

[@adriamaral300]

It’s hysterical when she realizes she has to pay for the “baby” when they arrive in New York and her whole demeanor shifts, because the whole idea was not paying for the 25lb cheese OR baby….so now she has this 25lb cheddar baby flat on her lap and she’s resting her elbows on it’s face and body, nonchalantly, like it’s a pillow. The other mother’s shocked face is a riot! Ahhh for the love of a good cheese! 🧀

[@kjricardo249]

This is an iconic episode with so many great moments!

[@ml-gr4mh]

I have searched and searched for this episode. The first time I watched this episode with this scene with the cheese disguised as a baby and the reaction of her seatmate had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Thank you so much for posting it. A too often overlooked episode that is as funny, if not funnier, as the candy factory episode, the vitamegavetamin episode, or any other episode. THUMBS UP!

[@kjricardo249]

It’s so good! You’re welcome. 😊

[@rtususian]

I just ate 2 slices of muenster cheese and 4 slices of American Cheese as a snack. Lucy and Ethel have me beat!!! LOL

[@dfa3366]

The other mother kept insisting it was a baby. She even stated he looks just like the father.

[@grantorino2325]

That's called "confabulation" or "the Mandela effect." It's one of the reasons why America has a *statute of limitations* , unlike the rest of the world's countries. The founding fathers understood that human memory is remarkably fallible.

There's also the scene from the episode where the Ricardos and the Mertzes lived like their grandparents did, and Lucy made coffee in an old-fashioned coffeepot (throwing an eggshell in, because her grandmother was Swedish!)

I love watching old TV shows from the 50s and 60s. They used to do that a lot back then, have the same actor or actress play a part in one episode and then a totally different character several episodes later. For instance, in a first season episode of BEWITCHED, Paul Lynde played a nervous driving instructor, and in subsequent seasons he was Uncle Arthur!

[@alexisdiva9]

@@rtususian Jackie Gleason used to do that back in the day. He had a cadre of performers called "Gleason players" who could cope with his minimum to zero rehearsal policy (he himself had a photographic memory which enabled him to memorize a script in an hour but of course not everyone was as blessed as he was) and were able to ad lib as needed. That's why on all of his skits, even those in the Classic 39 filmed The Honeymooners episodes you saw the same faces on the extras albeit with slightly changed appearances so it wasn't as obvious it was the same ppl over and over. He used to call Audrey Meadows "the Rock", presumably of Gibraltar since she rarely made mistakes and would memorize not only her lines but also Jackie's and Art Carney's lines for insurance, therefore enabling her to swiftly get them back on track as needed.

[@user-xf3bd3ni7n]

It looks just like him. Lol

[@tadimaggio]

Among the MANY hilarious lines in this episode: after Lucy explains the economics of air travel to Ethel, Ethel comments: "Well then, it"s still cheaper to have the cheese be a baby than for the baby to be a cheese."

[@RobertWilson-uf5ui]

Lucille Ball was at the top of her game in the I Love Lucy episodes. There's no question that it was Desi Arnez's directing that brought out Lucy's hilarious performances. In The Lucy Show Lucille Ball's comedy missed. There were a few good episodes but most were mediocre to dreadful. I've read a lot about Lucille Ball. Based on everything that I've read Lucille Ball could do almost anything with the right script and the necessary directing.

[@kjricardo249]

The earlier episodes of The Lucy Show with Vivian Vance were pretty special. Lucy and Viv were great scene partners, so after Viv left the show, I agree that the quality went way down.
