@@afether2269 A quick cut means to go from one brief scene to another so I think Dean is playing on Georgies drawn out guitar strumming between verses.
There were a lot of great shows on TV just like this back in the 1960s they sure don't exist anymore. There will never be shows like that again those were the great days of television.
Wow. what memories brought back. We used to watch Gobel show. He as unique. And so for that matter was Martin. All the truly great ones are now gone or retired.
Something so simple yet made so funny by sheer talent alone.Don't make them like they used to.I came across this last week and have watched it 20 times and laugh every single time.
You had to see the whole episode to get that. (I did.) Earlier on, Gobel had made a joke about something "cutting him to the quick," and adding that after that, he was going to have to go around "with a cut quick."
Something to ponder on when you watch this hilarious duo, or any of Deans variety shows and Roasts of the 1960s and 70s (especially the priceless sketches he did with Jonathan Winters and Foster Brooks), is just how much wonderful entertainment we would have missed out on if Dean had stayed with Jerry and not branched out on his own. Of course their act was funny in its own way, but I think that even Jerry's most ardent admirers would have to admit that his humour was rather juvenile in comparison with stuff like this.
nice and funny as all the videos of Dean, you can't resist and you are forced to laugh, even if you didn't feel like it. Thank you for all your nice videos and because you keep downloading them, so even people which were not lucky enough to have shared his life can feel a bit his friends. A big kiss and a hug from Italy, and ...... keep on smiling and ..... keep on making us laughing with Dean.
I remember seeing George's guitar for sale at Elderly Instruments in Lansing, Michigan shortly after George's death in the mid-1990's. It was a while ago, but I believe it was the same guitar from this video. He played his guitars a lot both on shows and in commercials.
Love it. Thanks for sharing! Once again.....greetings from Detroit, Michagan ! U.S.A. !...... I appreciate all of your hard work and enjoy all the great Dean Martin stuff you share.
George Gobel is playing a rare Gibson L-5CT "George Gobel" Model. Gibson gave George the prototype which has a 2-5/8 inch deep body. The production models had an even thinner body (depth was only 2.25” top to back) than the standard L-5. Gibson only produced 44 of these guitars from 1958-1962.
"With what shall I wet it, Dear Deano.." You can see Dean thinking about "With your quick..." but I think he realized that the audience would have been so far gone the take would have been ruined. Funny, funny people.
Looks like a Gibson Super 400 or an L5. Full acoustic. Nowadays, they've all got either P 90s or humbuckers on them. You can still get the full acoustic versions too though.
well George didn't mind cause they were friends Dean was funny wasn't he????!!!!!...as well as being a great singer but I liked him cause he was so very handsome and sexy
Gibson Guitars made a custom L-5 guitar for George Gobel. It was basically their premium L-5 with a slightly thinner body and shorter scale. I was later marketed as the L-5CT but I don't think it was a "signature" model.
I had english at school a long time ago. I think my english isn't so good, sorry. I like to watch Dean Martin clips with George Gobel and many other partners of him. But i have a question, what sad he at 0:12; 0:44; 1:10?
Dean did not rehearse. He had crewmember stand in for the guests and the dancers, so they could block the scene, and then he just kinda winged it, and the running gag with opening the door to find out who is behind it started with a practical joke.
meant to say "he was unique" .... damn auto correct even when nothing there needs correcting. I wonder anyone else runs into problem. You type in a word, click to submit, but what you see on the screen has been changed. Wish we had an edit option.
In every mobile phone you can turn down the auto correct. I can´t tell you where, because I don´t know what phone you have, just search a little. Mine made me crazy too, till I found it. Wish you luck.
Just before this song George did a song called 'That Old Irish Mother Of Mine'. He was cutting up while pretending he was trying to find the right note. The audience started laughing and he said "I'm trying to find a mood here. When you laugh at a sensitive performer that cuts me to the quick. Now I'll have to go all through life with a cut quick".
Dane333W It's a double entendre - taken one way it's a perfectly innocent remark, but in another sense it can be seen as really rude! In Victorian England there used to be a music hall (our version of the American vaudeville) singer called Marie Lloyd who made her living performing bawdy songs full of this kind of innuendo. Onstage she would sing them with all kinds of suggestive winks and gestures which left her audience in no doubt about the double meanings, but when she was called up in front of local censorship boards she would sing the songs perfectly straight, and accuse the committee of having dirty minds! I have noticed that Dean often used this kind of humour in his act😉😆
Yes. Many shows back then were telecast live or taped so close to broadcast there was no time to edit. Yes, dear readers, there was a time when performers were expected to be funny on tv without a laugh track to guide you. And, since America had real talent back then, we folks out in tv land were rarely disappointed.
