What's Your Favorite Laugh-In Expression?

Question

Anyone remember that show?

The fickle finger of fate!

Here come de judge!

You bet your sweet bippy.

Sock it to me.

Would you like a walnetto?

Pat good one -- "Very intellesting, BOT stOOpid."

Answer 1

The title Laugh In came out of the 60's hippie culture, "be-ins" or "love-ins" (expressions derived from "sit-ins" which were common in protests associated with anti-war and civil rights demonstrations of the time)
My favorites from 1 thru 5
1."and that's the truth".
2."Verrrrry interestink . . . but stupid",
3."Sock it to me",
4."Is that a chicken joke?"
5."Here comes de judge".

Answer 2

Well since they've all been mentioned by you, I will just have
to say, thanks, for the memories. How I loved that show and
wish it would be replayed again. Was this show on before
the Sonny & Cher Show came on? Seems like it did. Those
were my two most favorite shows back then, and I always
looked forward to them. I always enjoyed trying to make out
all of the words written on Goldie when she wore a bikini. She
has really come a long way from being such a silly girl. She
just made us laugh without even saying anything. She was
just too cute. And she doesn't look bad now for someone in
our age group. She's older than her roomie. Or didn't you
know that?

Answer 3

The essence of Laugh-In was shtick, a comic routine
or trademark repeated over and over until it was
closely associated with a performer. People love it,
come to expect it, and talk about it the next morning
after the show. All great comedians have at least one,
but what was remarkable about Laugh-In was that it
developed a whole repertoire of sight gags and
catchphrases using little-known talent exclusively
(though some of them became quite famous later).
Among the favorites: Arte Johnson as the German Soldier,
peering out from behind a potted palm murmuring,
"Verrry interesting!"; Ruth Buzzi as Gladys, the little
old lady with the hand bag, forever whacking the equally
decrepit Tyrone who snuggled up beside her on a park
bench; Lily Tomlin as the sarcastic, nasal telephone
operator named Ernestine; Gary Owens as the outrageously
over modulated announcer, facing the microphone, hand
cupped over ear; Alan Sues as the grinning moron of a
sports announcer; Goldie Hawn, as the giggling dumb
blond; Lily Tomlin as Edith Anne, a child philosopher
whose catchphrase was "and that's the truth," and so on.

My personal favorite? "Look that up in your Funk & Wagnalls."

Answer 4

before everything i do no longer in user-friendly terms like the way they communicate over with people as "YANKS", this be conscious makes me mad. i'm no longer a yank i'm a proud american from the south. they are able to maintain that be conscious faraway from me. My sister's, companion's mom is from England, she makes use of the be conscious "BLOODY HELL" and that i basically like it, my sister has even started utilising the word. i think of its attractive whilst they say "SPOT OF TEA". another words i like is, BLOKE(guy), raise(elevator), FLAT(house). those days I watch the this evening tutor with Jay Leno and Victoria Beckham exchange into on , she makes use of the be conscious "significant" for something that's COOL or warm(like paris hilton consistently says "thats warm". i think of i like the "significant", I even have already use it some cases. My niece who's 14 heard me use it some cases mentioned she like it and could commence asserting it to ensure if it catches on. Time will tell. i desire you have a Jolly previous Day!!!!!!

Answer 5

Next to MASH, this is one of the best comedy things TV EVER did! I loved this show and always laughed EVERY week!

"Go to your room"

"One ringy-dingie, two ringy-dingies...[Ernestine the switchboard operator - Lily Tomlin]

'Say Goodnight, Dick!'
'Goodnight Dick' ....LOL

'Is that a chicken joke?"

Do you believe in the hearafter?' - Tyrone

'Yes' - Ruth Buzzi

'Then You know what I'm here after!'

Answer 6

Verrrrry interesting
I loved Ruth Buzzi!

Answer 7

I loved that show such good clean fun, I liked the dancing and stop action with the one liners. also the wall where Goldie never got her lines right. Sure do miss the shows where they don't have to have all the violence and bad language to make us think it is good

Answer 8

I still get lots of laughs using my favorite, "Is this the party to whom I am speaking?" I had the pleasure of meeting Lily Tomlin and Henry Gibson at a party, and they were delightful!

Answer 9

I loved that show. The one expression that came to mind was Joanne Worley's "Is that a chicken joke?".We certainly could use a show like that right now. I'm so tired of all of the "Reality" shows, I find myself watching operations on the Discovery channel. Thanks for the memory.

Answer 10

I watched it but my memory is not vivid but I do remember Here come de judge, was it a black guy doing the part?
