They often filmed scenes in episodes straight through without stopping, just like a play. Had Lucy & Desi broke down, it would have been kept in the final show for that reason, but also because it would have been entirely in character.
@@ericandy88 They both held in the laughter as best as they could. The only other time they came close to breaking down laughing (besides the pilot, where Desi holds in from laughing from Lucy making fun of his English, causing Lucy to hold it in as well) was the Hollywood episode when Lucy tells Ricky "I vanced with Dan" then quickly corrects herself and, trying not to laugh, says "I danced with Van Johnson!" Desi then ad-libs "Vanced with Dan?!"
Such a great classic moment, still hysterical. The idea that this is going on at 4:30 a.m. is a riot. "Mexican Hat Dance" is what plays at the end. The first song & dance is "La Raspa," otherwise known by its Cuban form, "El Breako the Leaso!"
Thank you for giving me the song name, I’ve spent a long time searching for it. I use to have it as a ringtone for the family phone yeas ago and my parents and I would do the humming
This episode was audio recorded and played on radio, for people who didn't have TV in their area at the time! Narration was required and it was done by Desi Arnez.
This video is hysterically hilarious. The I love Lucy Show was funny as hell. I ended up laughing so hard at this funny clip. Which episode is this from? This is really good. Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please don't get mad at me for getting mad at a 1950s sitcom, but the Ricardos apparently are throwing a temper tantrum after The Mertzes asked them to stop making noise at night and so are harassing and terrorizing them?
You have to see the entire episode to get the context. In the beginning, they were all singing and Lucy asks if they are making too much noise so late and the Mertzes say something like "it's music!" but the Mertzes go home and immediately get mad when Lucy and Ricky continue so they were two faced about it. They don't care about disturbing others but when they get disturbed by the very same thing, they get mad.
