They were kicking butt then got canceled by some president back in the

day.

I remember they were cool with smoking weed, too.

There was a skit about that, not sure if it made it to the internet.

They didn't look like dirty hippies, though.

The Smother Brothers actually reprised their variety show in the late 1980’s.

Musical guests​

The series showcased new musical artists to whom other comedy-variety shows rarely gave airtime, due to the nature of their music or their political affiliations.[12] George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Joan Baez, Buffalo Springfield, Cass Elliot, Harry Belafonte, Cream, Donovan, The Doors, Glen Campbell, Janis Ian, Jefferson Airplane, The Happenings, Peter, Paul and Mary, Spanky and Our Gang, Steppenwolf, Simon and Garfunkel, The Hollies, The Who, and even Pete Seeger were showcased on the show, despite the advertiser-sensitive nature of their music.

Those guys were hilarious.

 

[WEATHER53]

To me at an early teen age in 60’s , they were hysterical. Mom likes you best.

Dick makes a point. Tom acknowledges, nodding seriously, "Touchy, touchy." Dick responds in his exasperated deadpan, "touche..".

My cousin lived on their Vinyard. They were an absolute comedy powerhouse.

They were also very non PC when it was dangerous to your career.

the smothers brothers were classic victims of "cancel culture." many of their old shows are on the internet . the musical talent and comedy that the brothers showcased was a step above most contemporary shows.

Comedians, at least good ones, have to be very smart.
