Tommy’s face sells anything he says. Perfect for their act.

The Smothers Brothers were a natural duet comedy team. I can't remember not laughing at any of their jokes. I was sad when Craig Ferguson retired from late night comedy.

It's great how they can do such a "clean" routine and still be so funny.

I loved Tom Smothers' barbs but funny remarks at the corrupt polical circumstances we had in the sixties. He was brilliant!

Last time I laughed like that was 1969. 😂

Thank you Tommy for your fantastic comedic humor and songs in our life. Millions loved you.❤

Another one of my favourite Smothers Brothers episodes.🥰 RIP Tom.

No body ever did a better impression of Johnny Carson than Tommy Smothers. Even a a do it quickly from his brother. Easpecaly the mannerisms. He does it as a compliment to Johnny. It also at least is there way of saying Johnny Carson was the tops in late night and gave us all Opertunaties. Especially just liked every day people. 😁

God these men are great !!

Loved the Smothers Brothers forever! Got to see them in person in Atlantic City in the 90's ! Totally hysterical! After the show, we spoke to Tom & Dick ! No pretenses! The way they appeared was the way they are! - kind,generous & funny! They let us take pictures with them ! The photo of my sister & Dick turned out to be the last photo she ever took,before we lost her unexpectedly! She had gotten the tickets as a surprise for me,since she knew how I loved them! Laughter is the best medicine so, I still listen to all their albums & it's great to see them on You tune! Thanks for showing this great routine - one of many!

From a golden era of comedy ( indeed, more recently featured on Craigs show here...but, they date back a bit, if 'ya know what i mean?) this is just pure Gold. now back to todays 'crap television and programming.

Legends. They still have it

Proving once again that "Real Talent" never goes out of style! 👏👏👏👏

I am old enough to remember their early acts. They have always been hilarious!

National Policy. Tommy has done that joke forever and I still laugh like the first time. The Smothers Brothers were genius comedy. Tommy. Ill see you on the other side.

That was wonderful. When comedy was Golden.

I think it's been said already, these guys are a National Treasure. They can make you laugh - still, like nobody else on earth. And take note, folks...nothing dirty or filthy...and yet they can make you roll on the floor. They were - and are - the best!

Rip. Used to listen and crack up at records from my youth. I’m pushing 67 and your humor is priceless

Timing so genius you want them to go on forever. Hopefully they will.

I've always loved these guys! Glad to see they're still around and they still got it! :)

Tommy's haircut hasn't changed his entire life.

To watch artists doing what they love is a wonderful gift... :)

I come here about once a month to get a kick, national treasure.. these guys!

I have had the pleasure of seeing these two perform live twice in my life. Those were about fifteen years apart and both mixed some of their famous routines with new materials, and everything hit perfectly. One woman sitting next to me laughed so hard she pee'd herself a little and had to excuse herself. Even my wife who did not grow up on them thought they were brilliant. I wish they could have had all their performances captured for posterity. Sure, it would be a lot to look at, but it would be great learning material for the younger comics who think vulgarity is a punchline, and who do not understand picture-perfect timing.

I also was privileged to be at one of their performances. It was in Monterey CA. I can't remember when it was but I know it was way over 5 years ago. My husband and I NEVER laughed so hard in our lives. They were absolutely FANTASTIC. Haven't heard about them since but I thought I read that they are not performing any longer. Their comedy in my eyes is and was the best of the best. I could listen and watch them over and over again and never get bored. They are also great musicians writing, singing, playing instruments and harmonizing - performing their own music. You just don't find this kind of talent anymore! Their timing is spot on and entertainment at it's best in my eyes! I wonder if there is any chance of a reunion special or a tribute to them? They certainly deserve "stars" on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (if they don't already have one)!!!!! Does anyone have any updates information about them?

I have loved these guys since the mid 60s. My grandmother called my brother and I the Smothers Brothers for many years. My brother and I faught over who was Tommy. Years later I finally one. In 2007 I finally saw them live and did a meet and great after the show. I told them that story and Tommy said you picked the right brother. I said why? Tommy said he bet my mother loved my brother the best. Which is part if their skit. The worse word they used was "bull caca". One class act they are!

Hey! Can Tommy come out and play pilot? Only if mom still likes him best and gives him his yoyo back. I met Tom and Dick, in person, at the turning Stone Casino in Rome, NY back in 2000. It was the best night of my life to see their show and backstage in person with them. Tom and Dick... I thank you very much, and for the autographs too. You guys are still the best.
