I did the same thing as a little boy. Mom & Dad are in the chairs and I'm on the floor with my siblings. Ahhh the 60s.

@@mrsmartypants_1 well, it is the best prayer you can give someone. lol. believe in god or not, the dude gave his best wish in his own belief to someone else. I think it is good, no?

You have a lot of time left, man. Sending you ❤❤❤

I've been waking up from dreams lately ... of memories back in the 60's and 70's, makes me wonder if my time here is short ... which is cool. Jesus stepped into my life around my 40th BDay, and I look forward to heaven. I'll pray for you Scott, if you'd like? Hope you are not in much pain.

Thoughts are with you Scott. There's a paradise in the earth's future that's even better than that brief effort of peace and love. It includes the possibility of earthly resurrection too. Hope you can be there.

HOPE YOUR SMILING EVERYDAY AS PEOPLE NEED THEM

I was thinking she was an audience plant as well.

@@ebonyrenna well , living the “ Hippie Culture” I had long hair and smoked pot and was just laid back . Didn’t let shit bother me .

Road a 500cc triumph chopper , with a 4ft front forks . We used to PROTEST the VIET NAM WAR . Just living the “ HIPPIE “ Life . I still have long hair and patches on my jeans . Except I can’t wear the Levi jeans 😁

@@tonyhurd5697 haha good stuff! I'm currently going through my own hippie era but unfortunately in an individualist society.

Yep.

Here here.

The writing on that show was excellent. I will be 52 in March. I only have watched them in syndication. But I remember. They were great. There is comedy gold all the way back to vaudeville if people take the time to research. Comedians are very helpful.

I'm 5 months shy of 48, and I watched reruns of the Smothers Brothers, my friend.

Me too.

Our hippie guest's comportment seems almost presidential compared to most of the people you encounter today.

Well said, I liked the part where he said it was "cheaper than war".

It makes me laugh how people now after all we've seen from media dont realise that this is not random, its planned and scripted.

@@ibrax5 this was not random it's part of the show. Scripted.

She knew her lines, for sure. I’m impressed that she prepared so well

I don’t think I understand the satire given the time this came out. Maybe it would be satire today.

There was no shortage of character actors from this era who did bad hippie impressions on television-it wasn't just that they were spiteful and unkind beyond the requirements of satire and in the service of a reactionary viewership, but also clueless, as if they had never actually met anybody who belonged to the counterculture and were not at all curious. What a marked contrast this woman's performance makes: Not only is she easy on the eyes and very likeable, she also seems very well to embody that oblique ebullience characteristic of the type-I mean, she seems authentic enough to me.

I knew it had to be a plant but I don't recognize her.

So many years ago. I forgot about Goldie. Thanks for the synapse reboot.

I came down to the comments to see who she was, and I got my answer right off the top! Loving it!

Well that bit of realism ruined it, lol; jk.

She first appeared on “Gomer Pyle USMC” as the same character. On that show, she wore a bunch of psychedelic face paint.

A great character actress, right up there with Foster Brooks, Jim Nabors, Ruth Buzzi, Lilly Tomlin, Don Knotts, and many others.

@Wayne Naylor Leigh French

Tommy's timing is perfect

It was in real time- the vibe was happening and that was where it's at...

Well I am 75 years old and I can never forget the way we were treated as soldiers coming home. So I really have no use for a hippie because it was against everything that I was taught and I believed in. As far as her playing a part? She wasn't playing she was really that stupid and there was no acting in it. These time were when this country started to fall apart. Character actress? She would never hold a flame to people like Foster Brooks, Jim Nabors, Ruth Buzzi, Lilly Tomlin and not even close to Don Knotts.

What nonsense. They gave the Network big-wigs EXACTLY what they wanted: a show that would appeal to the new 18 - 34 demographic and they went right along with it in their mansions and fast cars. Hippies... right...

@@josephciolino2865 They certainly weren't making the show for charity. But they were often in conflict with some of the network executives and censors. And they were also canceled after only 3 seasons, and did put out some controversial stuff.

@@josephciolino2865 Wow man, you are really toking on that cynicism joint. Just because someone is getting paid for what they do doesn't discount the art that they are creating. If you want the perfection of a perfect suffering artist, you'll be waiting a long time. Learn to appreciate what these guys did. They lost their show for the socio-political stance. Anyway, your cynicism isn't hurting anyone but you. Hippies...Right On!!!

@@josephciolino2865 Sounds like you're incredibly jealous! I loved the Smother's Brothers.

@@rft2001 He played guitar on Give Peace a Chance. Close enough!

I saw she was part of a comedy group called the Committee. A very talented improv group. Howard Hesseman from WKRP was part of the group.

His takes were perfect. Like a hip George Burns. Tommy: The duo's funnyman and the skit star's straightman. Pretty humble. You can see this influence in talk show people like Conan.

He wrote the material too I understand

what the fuck are you talking about 'americans don't do irony"

Lmao what? That's all Americans do is irony, satire and parody. You people in the comments are really weirding me out lol.

Leigh French famous for her Victory Thru Vegetables quote. She cracked me up.

She and Rob appeared together as a hippie couple on Gomer Pyle.

Very cool!

Well I care for the wild children that we're left by the free living drug living flower child . The kids had no ideal of not jumping into garbage cans and peoples personal space and the boundaries of sexual touching. And when I was younger in a children home there were too many there from parents leaving them for weeks, sending them to school with little to slips as clothing. Drugs are so wonderful. Why was I there my gran passed away and my younge mother was I'll. I felt bad for the children.

@@journeybrook9357 These days everybody does everything right and stays safe and is never uncomfortable and triggered and they are also miserable. Never have surveys found so many with so few friends and so much depression.

Yep, my time. I'm 68.

Yes we could definitely use more of that spirit of universal love that was abundant in the 1960s! I'm a childlike senior citizen now! During this holiday season I just want to wish everyone peace on Earth and good will to ALL!

FZ was a ferocious proponent of individual Freedoms, mostly focusing on Freedom of Speech. He would be appalled at the amount of self-censorship demanded of people today and would rail against it loudly.

SHES OUTTA SIGHT...

In the mid 70's the drummer from the Mothers was in Lahaina when I was there. He and worked at the two best restaurants in town

Zappa loved making fun of the hippies but they were cool enough to take it in stride, and they loved playing his music. You'd think he wouldn't be one of their favorites, but he was. He actually pioneered psychedelic music trends with "Freak Out!".

Better decades in a lot of ways than today. We have technical advantages, but look at what's going on. Nothing but division and pronoun this, woke that, fake outrage and bs. Glad I had a chance to grow up pre-cell phone and had a lifetime of getting out to do things. And I like to slip in the old sayings on people randomly in conversation sometimes as well😂

I knew it had to be Leigh French, once I heard this audio. I just recently re-watched an old comedy movie that she appeared in: 'The Hollywood Knights.' I was about 24 years old when I first saw it, and it has so many actors appearing in it that later became very well known. Michelle Pfeiffer, Tony Danza, Fran Drescher, etc. Maybe not an elegant and high budget film, but it was a lot of fun!

Not too many knew Keif was a reference to weed. But they laughed as if they we're in on that little last word joke.

"Vietnam not withstanding!" We can say that about every decade.

Well , you know , I think its like kind of a balance thing , you know

it was scripted

Her little dig about war didn't work too well. But it did the job. Sadly, passed away in May of 2023

Why cant you imagine be a child today compared to that time? Just curious.

@@kickstar1 Just compare this sketch to what passes as comedy on TV today. In my experience, life in general has a harder edge to it than when I was growing up (50s and 60s).

@@plane_guy6051 I'm not sure I would use the baboon analogy, but in general yes, I think those are among the things that give life a harder edge. It seems to me a large proportion all of the various "tribes" we now see in the U.S. are misbehaving (as compared to my reference era): republican, democrat, conservative, liberal, black, white, etc. The question is: Why? Why are parents giving their kids too much leeway? Why have music, TV, and the movies become so seedy? And so on. I agree that individuals bear a large part of the responsibility for this change. They have allowed themselves to value instant gratification over the hard work of living a quality life. To value spectacle over thoughtful introspection. To value fantasy escape over meaningful discussion and decision making. I see many of the destructive things that people do as being reactions to the stress of living in an economy that will not or cannot provide a living wage for all honest workers. An economy that requires huge levels of debt to buy a house or get a college education. An economy that is becoming more and more difficult to navigate year by year. In other words, I think we are living in a system that does not encourage rational behavior. We're living in a system that fosters destructive behavior. And to top it off, our elected leaders at the national level do not seem to be doing anything useful. The "American Dream" has died for many people. Nobody is even acknowledging that fact much less doing anything about it.

You are welcome to start the flower child movement again. The rest of us will continue to work for a living to grow our families while you sit back and enjoy your comfort drugs and live off the hard work of grounded Americans.

@@jmadratz There's a thing called "group outsider homogenization" where people outside their group tend to see those different as all the same. People who want to properly care for our environment or want to engineer a more peaceful, verdant and socially just society do indeed have families, work for a living and are not into drugs so much, maybe don't drink at all , very likely don't smoke cigarettes and enjoy a healthy diet and exercise. Same goes both ways. To your health, right livelihood and compassion towards others!

@@rexbruce Very well said.

@@jmadratz In this highly-competitive, violent, hideous social environment that we're living in to day, in which the rich just get richer, I would like to see the rise of a "flower child movement".

It's destroying the earth. I hope for the rise of people who have a better consciousness.

@@markj7612 Marxism is where we're going. If that's hope, I'm out.

AMEN to that!

I could tell that this was staged, but I get what you are saying.

I think still, though you romanticize the hippie days, they were not good for the now [future] of this country. There were deep government [deep state] drug experiments going on right along side the terrible MIC's Vietnam War, (to say there was no killing then is folly), and a total loss of morality and conservatism. The hippies were victims of a twisted government social engineering. It was reflected in some of the greatest music and stage arts still viable today, but it was the undoing of a great country. All the killing, all the boarder trouble, all the race baiting, all the riots, 911, even the fact that Creepy Joe is president by fraud, has its roots in the hippie era. You can't find fault with what I say, if you really know the truth. But I loved some results. All in the Family, Three's Company, Pink Floyd, Sandford and Son, The Jeffersons, Jimmy Hendrix, King Crimson, That Girl, The Maud Squad, The Monkeys, and so much more. But I still say, in a moral way, it was not good for us in the end.

@@markmurto I think you summed it up accurately. When people fall for fads, it shows just how easily manipulated they are. People following what they perceive to be popular, even if it paradoxically goes against their will. It's a result of social engineering. Hippies though they were seeking freedom from the establishment, but the movement was cult like.

You've forgotten all about charlies girls. Susan Atkins would have been just like this...

You've perhaps been fooled by the media to think the world is so full of violence now. There are far too many murders today, of course, but murder rates in the US were actually higher back in the 1970s than they are now. Look it up.

Selective memory is a wonderful thing. Way better than the Selective Service.
