Ma & Pa Kettle Math

Film clip of old Ma & Pa Kettle bit (Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride).

[@Deviousdevil302]

My pawpaw loved this show. He had several tapes of it. This makes me think of him sitting in his chair laughing an asking me did you see that crazy thang. He died not to long ago. I miss him so much.

[@patriotgirl1american854]

I watched this every Sunday as a kid. God bless your dad!

[@coloradostrong]

Someone said you lost a shoe in some mud.

[@rosemarycortes388]

What is the name of the show?

[@Deviousdevil302]

Ma & Pa Kettle

[@edro31111]

They were so convincing that I have second thoughts now!

[@pythonprincess2]

My math teacher showed us this video at the end of class today. I could not stop laughing.

[@marceyhaley143]

I loved to watch Ma and Pa kettle, still do. They were great together. This one is hilarious. In all in the way you look at it. :)

[@rocketman63]

This scene is hilarious, and very, very clever. Wonderful play on math!

[@331SVTCobra]

The skit was "Borrowed" from Abbot and Costello.

[@joez101654]

Just love them. Brings back a lot of memories of Sunday afternoons.

[@jaysonbiggs8979]

Same here. Along with Abbott and Costello and Laurel and Hardy and The 3 Stooges.

[@Linkman247]

Im 30 and adore these movies. This reminds me of the abbott and costello skit. :)

[@imaginetheresno]

Such memories.....Saturday afternoons..... :D

[@OmegaWolf747]

Those two make Jethro Beaudine seem like a Rhodes scholar!

[@AUTISTICLYCAN]

Maybe pa could be trained as a double naught spy!

[@olib2336]

@@AUTISTICLYCAN Wasn't Jethro's term 'naught naught spy'?

[@AUTISTICLYCAN]

@@olib2336 Never doubt an old gray werewolf. Jethro wanted to be a double naught spy. Naught is a quaint term for 0 or ZERO. James Bond was double zero 7 or 007 as commonly written. Don't take my word for it. Follow the link below and listen and watch for yourself as Jethro explains the in's and outs of his becoming a Double Naught Spy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z366ommCZp6YhNE I'm an OLD werewolf who was a pup watching this shows every week and more often in syndication. I know and remember what I saw and heard Jethro say and do. Jethro Bodine wanted to be a Double Naught Spy like James Bond. My link above proves it to anyone who cares to look for themselves. Thank you.

[@brucegilbert7243]

Even Jethro knew his gazintas.

[@xxashley314xx]

My grandma and I watched these vhs tapes all the time I miss her so much

[@user-xk4wj6ge5b]

The wonders of maths! The wacky world if Ma n PA. I loved those old happy family movies from 1970s (watching them)

[@pacmanindy]

This reminds me of Lou Costello doing bad math!

[@NorthieStangl]

So wrong it's good and hilarious. Love those Kettle movies. Comedy at its best!

[@BgO635]

🤣🤣🤣Those two lovely acter/ comedians crack me up!! Just love them💋♥️

[@teresajacoby4010]

Grew up watching mama and papa kettle. Love the show big time ❤️❤️❤️

[@ForeTheLord]

One of my favorite scenes from Ma & Pa! Thanks for posting !!

[@mrsj6447]

This is what plays in my head when I see common core math. 😂

[@Ed_H.]

Thanks for letting the world know you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Have a nice day.

[@mrsj6447]

@EdselH. 😂😂 I have plenty of clues. Thanks for letting the world know you have no sense of humor. May your day be fantastic!

[@xfftl8myheartx]

I saw this in my math class, it's hilarious :)

[@OrdinaryG33K-SF]

Absolutely HILARIOUS! 😄

[@lordalessan]

we watched this in our math class today!! big laughs. I love Marjorie Main.

[@luq146]

thatoneguy Wow this comment is older than me 😳

[@mr.pavone9719]

How are you doing, 15 years later?

[@soratuulinen48]

Ma and Pa must work for Revenue Canada.

[@jssgopman]

Sora Tuulinen No they write the CommonCore curriculum.

[@JJfromPhilly67]

I think this may explain some of the issues in Washington, DC.

[@jamesfdonaldson]

Wonderful stuff....I'm sending this to my grandkids.LOL

[@camimalbeuf]

I like this video. It would be cute to use in a math lesson with older students.

[@raiderjohnthemadbomber8666]

I use to watch these movies as well as "Francis the Talking Mule " and others on the 6 o'clock movies on KABC in Los Angeles about 50+ years ago. Always loved their shtick.

[@DakotaSelectsMinecraft321]

I love it, I love it!!!! I'll remember that next time my son shows me how to do math!

[@susanhewett184]

If only Maths was that simple when I was at school, I would have got an 'A' every time

[@Opium1958]

I love the Kettles their so funny and such a cute couple. I first saw them in The Egg and I

[@coloradostrong]

_They're_ so funny.

[@flawlesssaiyzaskyline2920]

my Calculus 2 professor linked this to us and this was time well spent. im so using this on my next test!!!

[@bellerain381]

My mathematician mother loves these clips! 😂🤣

[@picklerman3]

👍This and "who's on first"1⃣ are the two BEST clips in the world! 😃Don't you agree?

[@williamernestsmith]

Love the Dame's saying: Rattling those pots and pans. This saying stayed with me for years, use it every now and then.

[@santos8468]

I love this. They don't make comedy like this anymore.

[@justincase4382]

For a reason

[@62798254]

I had watched this in my pre algerbra class a few days ago it so funny at the end that everyone in my class started to creak up Ha Ha Ha :D

[@steffidude]

Kids and I literally watch this very movie every evening!

[@santos8468]

What's really funny is that even though they are wrong, it all makes a crazy kind of sense.

[@21MarketaDiva]

Lmao omg. I loved these as a kid and I’m just 32 🤣

[@cocoaorange1]

I'm liked the series as a kid in the 70's.

[@brenden1115]

I first saw this in in school suspension!!! Best Iss day of my life. No work and I got to watch movies.

[@YackBackatcha]

This is one reason I have so much respect for teachers

[@Kevmaster2000]

I just bought the complete 10 movie collection.

[@lunch77]

"Better brush up Billy, I don't wanna see you boys cheated." Excellent.

[@BW12149]

Made a believer out of me!

[@MyPaperBleedsInk]

Haha.... used to watch this at my Grandma's house. I wanted to use that logic on one of my math teachers, but I've forgotten about this show after so many years.

[@bigbadredsox]

I loved this show when I was a kid. It's even better when you are stoned.

[@bradiana1]

My math teacher showed us this at the end of class today, and I seriously wanted to scream!!!!!!!!!!!

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

God how I loved their shows...LOL.

[@uniblab2006]

Masters of Divergent Thinking. Welcome to Common Core! LOL

[@Swampert384]

Another piece of classic comedy.

[@renaissanceinblack]

This never gets old🤣

[@GenericGene]

This is just brilliant - now that's real comedy - Gene

[@bernadettewans6088]

If only they still made movies like that

[@idahowolve]

an absolute classic

[@codylamountain]

i miss these old movies, their so funny, espically in ma and pa kettel go to town

[@jeffchernick7474]

[@beckyhuntsman7174]

Love the KETTLES! Still HILLARIOUS

[@seabrooke999]

Thanks for sharing that with me!

[@PieGirl23]

i love Ma and Pa kettle!!!!! Old people rock!!!!

[@TheProseWriter]

I first saw this in 2007, then saw it again in class last month.

[@joyciejd9673]

Wow. This is brilliant

[@death2pc]

That's how I done learnt it!

[@Brickz4u]

I love this video it's almost as hilarious as Who's on First

[@WSenator1]

Well, Abbott and Costello did a math routine much like this one!

[@roberthall6161]

I saw it as a young child.

[@incandescent171]

They actually convinced me that 25/5=14 for a sec 🤣

[@trippNfallN2]

Too funny! Gotta love Pa&Ma Kettle

[@mr.pavone9719]

This video will give a mathematician an aneurysm or fits of laughter.

[@skapunkteddybear]

0:28 "Lemme rub this out here" HAHA :P

[@billyshepard5514]

They are doing the abbott and costello routine 7x13 =28, this is because the A&C writer John Grant worked on this script.

[@ChanceGetsLucky]

that just blew my mind.

[@mlbrooks4066]

I would love to hear Pa explain string theory.

[@dominicdaley5702]

Damn they made me second guess myself for a second lol

[@cookieluver13]

Haha my algebra teacher showed this to us! It's too clever

[@Fatlinerdadd]

Haha my professor just sent this to me. Epic indeed.

[@RobbySk8erBoi]

My mind was blown by that last sentence.

[@skapunkteddybear]

Genius comedy. I couldn't think that stuff up.

[@lPHOENIXZEROl]

Haha, I remember seeing this as a kid because my mother had a lot of Ma and Pa Kettle tapes not because I was alive when it originally aired.. >_>

[@wyattwertz]

that is how my teacher feels when we get a problem wrong and try to prove it to her that it is right!

[@TheHalfTrad]

got the dvd. awesome so funny!

[@HighGear7445]

Remember Ma & Pa at the drive in theatre

[@2miangels]

SO LOL. THEY SHOWED THIS TO US IN MATH CLASS. M MATH TEACHER LUVED IT AND EVERYONE LAUGHED

[@jakyjac63]

I'm sure this is the math that the tax department use to determine my tax refund!

[@mandycote5662]

and wax THAT f u n n y

[@mandycote5662]

🤔

[@goldenlady97]

love it!

[@critchley3819]

Brilliant, Ma&Pa knew it , and now I understand why at school I fluncked maths, I was doing it there way.

[@ericabizzell6555]

Luv this

[@wja02]

I love this video! I show it all the time to my students when discussing math formulas.

[@oakleyklj]

that sounds really painful. what kinda monster are you?

[@Picklekicker]

I think this is how Congress does math love it!!!

[@christinecole8015]

Love it

[@chinchilla1956]

It's February 2024 and here i am watching this 😂

[@zoloninja13]

Lol this is awesome! :)

[@Tonsoszaliron]

@thorpypoo I don't know how this subject got into this video. But let's look at this: Couples who cannot have children (something wrong with the plumbing perhaps) can get married. "If marriage is a right then why do you have to get a license?" It's a federal certification that you are married, it's not saying that you must have x, y, and z to get married. Think of it like a certificate. Furthermore, court cases have ruled that marriage is indeed a right.

[@michaelgorman2662]

You are certain! Sounds right to me! 😱

[@BlackRiverBay]

This is the same exact process that Abbott and Costello used in their math routine.

[@Grave_Digger606]

The Abbott and Costello bit was in my recommended videos and I just came here because it reminded me of Ma and Pa Kettle.

[@vivdrewa8779]

They sure don't make them like this anymore! How funny!!!

[@elle5031]

I know these old movies an TV Shows might seem hokey to some...but the humor was really quite witty.....I would love to have copies of all of their films.

[@Candydreams32]

Lolllll so many ways in looking at math hilarious

[@shayjackson-cee6308]

i just love the duo ma and pa kettle i just happen to know that their movie debute came about on the 1942 movie the egg & I starting clordett Colbert and fred mcmury the story goed they were so loved by viewer that the studio deceide to make them a series and the rest as they say is history

[@psalm37v4]

I wonder if this is the “new math“ being taught in schools today

[@KRAZZYMF]

you are right! and they are still at it!! LOL!

[@jakyjac63]

I was just playing a board game of mastermind with my 14 year old son. I think he is is going to the same school as Ma and Pa...

[@swkccr]

Was Percy's birthday on 7/16. Born in San Francisco.

[@barbaraturner8129]

Thank you I love it at 7:17 this morning. GOD BLESS.
