OK. Maybe you have to be Australian, or British or American to find this really funny.

3:12

When we were kids we couldn't afford emu puppets so used football socks as our emu to attack our parents with. Great to see Rod and Emu again 😅 never fails to create a laugh

I had an emu puppet as a kid and used to attack my dad with it 😂 Absolute comedy gold rod and emu Rip rod

Emu isn’t racist then

4:08 I paused at the perfect time

Fucking hilarious.

Fucking Laughed my ass off, big time

Compare Carson's reaction to Parkinson's.

So preposterous and so funny. Never gets old. Very appealing to kids and anyone else who loves to see the rules being broken.

I love the way a puppet gets blamed for the bad behaviour! That’s what made Rod Hull so brilliant - he gave that bird its own character! Genius!

I remember seeing rod and emu on Saturday morning TV in the USA in the 1970s.

Emu didn’t touch the lady, Rod had respect for the young lady

Simple but so funny. Happy and funny memories as a kid...thank you Rod and Emu of course

I've watched this excerpt from the Tonight Show dozens of times and each time I see Johnny Carson trying to sweet talk Emu, it cracks me up.

Although the world would safer, It'd definitely of been more dull without Hull. Crazy muthufucka he was.. He did his best to keep emju under control.. Bit of lack of discipline, but some control was at hand

Carson and Parkinson and Pryor (dumplings🤣🤣🤣)! Emu only attacked the very best. Childish nonsense BUT absolute genius from the late Great Rod Hull.

The genius of Rod was getting you to forget that it was a puppet - the asides, looking away, all the little movements that gave Emu his own life!

Still good!

Absolutely hilarious rod hull and emu were one of my favourite shows growing up 😂😂👌👌👌👌

Rod hull fell off his roof and died in 1999 while trying to adjust the Tv aerial

RIP Richard, Johnny, Rod & Emu.

Don't forget the famous interview with Michael Parkinson!

Miss rod Hull and emu

Physical comedy. All British culture is founded in it. Today and Emu were fixtures on UK TV for years.

Super Flying FunShow anyone? Cartaker Clot.

Little details - Ally Sheedy hiding behind Richard Pryor made me lol

When I was a kid I thought he was hilarious. A real agent of chaos (which kids always love). It was sad how he died but also funny in a way. He fell off his roof. We like to imagine he was holding Emu at the time (!). Another thing, I didn't really "get" Emu until I started following Alveus Sanctuary here on KZfaq. She has an Emu. They snap at shiny things like rings, earings and so on and also like a "cuddle". It's kind-of funny how his character was very similar to a real, tame (Human imprinted) Emu.

In contrast to Billy Connolly who told Rod Hull "if that attacks me, I'll break it's neck and your arm" 😅😅😅

Johnny wouldn’t let to many people get away with that he must have really like his act it sure was funny..😂😂😂😂😂

Never liked that man or his stupid emu.

As a child that thing always scared the shit outta me

A loved rod n emu growing up in the uk he was so funny,but rip rod hull ❤

Rod hill was brilliant 😂

Can't stand this annoying act, never could. Even in 70's Britain

I remember when emu attaked billy connelly, he grabbed the bird by the neck and said " do that again and i'll break your neck and his arm"😅

I grew up watching The Pink Windmill, so stupid and simple and it’s still funny 😎

that was probably one of the funniest moments ever on the johnny carson show

I loved him as a kid. It’s great to hear the American audience laughing with him.

Excellent,i grew up watching rod hull and emu,they seemed to be on tv every week,in the seventies and eighties and thank god for that,absolutely brilliant for us kids in Britain 😜

Rod was a one off...

When I was 11, I got bitten on the mouth by an emu. They can be vicious b******s.

So funny!

Emu and Rod were on the Hudson Brothers’ “Razzle Dazzle” show. I adored the Hudsons and my mother would watch it with me BECAUSE of this bird. Between them aaaaall my mother and I would-LAO😂…great times, great memories!❤

I set up this channel to record the ramblings of "Terry", my stoner-buffoon friend. However, his insistence that I make private any video that took off kind of harmed the channel, to the extent that the most well-known video on it has nothing to do with "Terry Time", and is instead this clip of (amusing) archive TV. - Terry's cameraman.

Grew up watching rod and emu no swearimg no smut just pure slapstick. Rip Rod.

One of the things that busts me to bits is the way by which Rod commands the bird in such a way as to render it questioning the wits of the interviewer. They were Genius. Richard Prior got what was coming - asking how well it went with dumplings. Pure laughter from start to finish.

I have not been a happy camper for a long time. These old shows really mean a lot to me nowadays. This episode was on the other night and it was an absolute delight from beginning to end. I love how much everybody played along. It was so cool to see Richard in the 1st place, and he was on that night he was funny and gracious. Johnny couldn't have been better with that emo. It's funny because it scares you even when you're home in your living room . you don't know what that damn bird is going to do. Or worse yet you do know it's coming. 😆 I used to love this emo when I was a kid. Everybody on that stage was a kid at that moment. I'm 61 years old now and I was a kid in bed watching it with my dog 2 nights ago. 🥰
