OK DUers you need this laugh - I am in pain from laughing at this

[malaise]

and we should celebrate the greats a lot more while they're alive.
Tears of laughter are flowing down my cheeks.

1. you are correct. after today's sad news, need all the laughs we can get.

[LuvNewcastle]

2. I love it every time I see a skit with Momma and Eunice together.

It's always hilarious, and it's so realistic and profound. I've heard arguments like theirs between women in my own family. The arguments are always over something trivial, but when you give some thought as to what they're really fighting about, it comes down to the human condition. That's where good comedy will take you, when all is said and done.

5. So true, those skits with Momma and Eunice were comedy gems.

A great combination of pathos and just good stage comedy. Especially with the other cast members adding to it.

Kind of like comfort food, I think of it like comfort comedy. Something good for the soul, especially if you're feeling a little down. Thanks for this post and good thread Malaise.

and the Carol Burnett show nailed it.

9. Another one to cherish is Betty White.

She was "Ellen" in Mama's Family, Eunice's sister. I loved it when all those fools were together. She wasn't on it long I don't think. Here's a clip:
