It's the chaos theory that Carol was so unique with. Normally directors snap when actors goof lines, or laugh, crack up during filming. Carol, Harvey, and the rest all tried to make the others lose it. Like they had a game.

Miss Burnett HAD to since she thought they were funny but she knew that Eunice had zero sense of humor about herself and if she showed her appreciating the humor, it would have totally gone against Eunice's character!

Look up the version of this before it was edited for TV. It's on one of the videos where they are trying to make each other crack up. When she's insulting Eunice, Mama asks if it's her time of the month, and if she's "riding the cotton pony!" They all totally lose it, It is hilarious!! 😂😂😂😂

I get the distinct feeling that that line wasn’t in the original script. Carol did her best to hold it together and not break character with the ad libs.

Yes, that's the truth, Catherine Mathers ... Carol's own experiences influenced this sketch heavily! Have you ever seen the CBS special "Eunice" from 1982? It was a two-hour special, and really dealt with Eunice's family history from a very emotional standpoint, and flashed ahead a few years as well. It was such a sad and bittersweet show to watch. But I thoroughly recommend it. It is here at KZbin. Just search "Eunice" and you'll find it.. worth a watch!

Tre404 Generational dysfunction is disturbing to see, even in a comedic format. Sometimes it's hard to determine whether the tears you shed are from laughter, distress, or both.

In an interview she stated that as the newest/youngest/least experienced comedienne on the show, she felt she hadn't earned the freedom to "play" with the lines like her established co-stars had.

I LOVED "The Family" sketches on the Carol Burnett Show, and this one in particular was my all time favorite. Watching it again after all these years and I still laugh until I cry when Mama lays into Eunice, and to see how Carol fights to keep from breaking up by Vicki Lawrence. What brilliant comedy this was, and oh, how much I miss it.

[@lowbridge7070]

In the 1970s I was being raised in an abusive, dysfunctional home (parents had split up, mother had custody of us kids. She was a mentally ill, abusive monster). As a result, I turned towards watching LOTS of tv as a way to provide myself with escape and comfort from my misery. The Carol Burnett show was one of many tv shows I watched regularly in daily syndicated reruns. It really helped me to preserve what few shreds of sanity I had as well as provided me with much needed happiness, laughter and joy in an otherwise joyless existence. The Carol Burnett show was the one and only tv show whose sketches had me and my sister literally rolling on the floor, clutching our sides with laughter (especially if the sketch had Tim Conway in it. He was the best). EXCEPT for these "The Family" sketches. When Eunice yelled and/or scrunched up her face in anger, she was the exact spitting image of our mother. It was just too painful. My sister and I would sit completely stone faced through these "Family" sketches. I don't recall them eliciting a single laugh from either one of us (not even the presence of Tim Conway helped).

[@rejoyce318]

I'm sorry about your childhood. Carol Burnett lived with her grandmother (the ear tug was for her) because she, too, had family trauma growing up.

[@elwoodblues9613]

"It was a seven" is not a funny line. But the way Carol Burnett screamed it, like the frustrated maniac Eunice was, is legendary.

[@scottsalisbury3547]

[@justlivinglife....619]

Well, I don't recall them changing it, but The Carol Burnett Show was on Monday nights at 10:00 p.m. That's how they were able to pull off some of the humor 😏 from the censors back then. But, it was great funniest show! It's like the old Dean Martin Show had some VERY funny skits & sketches on that program too! Those were the days of good comedy & good television! Not like the ERA of "REALITY" television we have been in for the past 16-18 yrs. 🤨🤯 The entire group of "reality shows" has completely destroyed any semblance of quality programming on television anymore. 😳🤪🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I really appreciate growing up in the 60s and 70s. Television really showed what middle-class life looked like. They did not try to make it pretty. Homes were humble, clothes were humble. Not everyone was a supermodel. I appreciate that. Think about the sitcoms back then. Think about the movies. Today, so-called average people live in million dollar lofts and palatial homes. I respect shows like this.
