@Mamapolo2016 I guess it was funny back then but watching it today makes me think she was drunk.

@Mamapolo2016 Its just strange how far people went for a laugh back in the 60s and 70s

You don't have to think it funny. There's lots and lots of stuff I don't understand either.@MarmeeMarch

This brings up an unfortunate event of years ago.
Us older people remember Lily Tomlin's early 70s Earnestine skits on Laugh-in. She also did stage performances which unfortunately were pretty raw by comparison.
We attended one of her stage performances, thinking it would be "Laugh-in" type comedy and brought out of town guest which included 12 and 13 year old kids. We exited within the 1st 5 minutes after two or three F-word bombs, and heavy sexual content.
While her performance may have measured up to 2019 HBO adult comedy, it was pretty far out for the early 70s.

@Heartlander Yes. The Mirror Had Two Faces. Sounds uncomfortable and disappointing.
