On a serious note (believe it or not), the acting of Hope Summers as Clara Johnson in this episode is fantastic. The scene where she opens up to Andy about why this pickle contest means so much to her is beautiful, and one of my favorites in the whole run of the show. Very touching.

“What would you say?” “Kerosene?” “Precisely!” 😂😂😂😂

“I’ve worked and suffered for this so long”, “yes, well we all have”. That’s classic!

A true pleasure to watch everyday!!!! Love this show, so wholesome and cute, what we don't see today!!!!...🥀🥀🥀🥀...2022...

I love all Andy Griffith show, but I believe this one is funny!

This is one of the best episodes!

Hahaha! I get it now, lOl, why people leave jars of pickles at Aunt Bee's gravesite. How did I miss this episode? Oh my gosh, it's just too funny!!! Thank you Jordan The Lion for sharing her story!!! 🌼

Kerosene cucumbers!

This is the funniest one! What would you say? Kerosene? Precisely!

Wish I was back in that Era 😂 Aunt Bee and her kerosene pickles 😂 Of course Clara won the blue ribbon again 😀 Aunt Bee was a gracious loser 🙂

Animal! I definitely want to party with YOU

You know what would have been a more amusing ending? If Aunt Bee somehow found out (maybe from Opie) about the pickle switch and after mentioning the 16 jars, she adds "Maybe next time you don't like what I make, you'll tell the truth".

One of the best episodes

Aunt Bee knows how to cook, but she doesn't know how to can. Her pickles smell like kerosene and her preserves smell like ammonia.

Well Andy and Barney got themselves into a real pickle this time

If I was Opie, I'd be so disappointed if I was taken the the carnival, only to have to go to the pickle contest.

I want some of winner #4's pickles who won. I bet those were good. Yum. Laughing so hard at the judges as they tasted Aunt Bee's batch and the way the pickles were carefully scrutinized first.

Learn to love 'em.

kerosene cucumbers at the fair and some to spare

Kerosene Cucumbers... LOL

I remember this skit like yesterday; this is only the second time I've seen it. First time was as a child probably in 1962? Crazy how some stuff stays with a fellow.

If you visit Aunt Bee's grave in Siler City NC you will see jars of pickles at her tombstone. Fans leave them there all the time.

I wonder if aunt bee has ever tested her pickles

I loved this episode. What one does for loved ones! Kerosene Pickles!

AG and DK used to call FB the Marlboro Man, because she was a heavy smoker. Could you imagine Aunt Bee as the Marlboro Man? It's hard to imagine. FB went from Broadway to Mayberry and it was a difficult transition. There was immense tension on that set, as FB didn't particularly care for her co-stars, or their sense of humor. She considered herself a consummate professional among amateurs.

GOATest sitcom

Two food items Aunt Bee did not do very well on pickles and marmalade!

Trader Joe's has a nice imported dill pickle.

One of the judges is the banker at the Mayberry Bank.

@@rotunda57that was the first time she made them. Then (and I forget exactly how this went), she made her pickles for the fair, but she wouldn’t win, so they were replaced with pickles from the store. Then Clara (insert last name here) went on about how much it meant to her and her late husband to win the ribbon, so Andy and Barney figured they couldn’t have Bea win in bad faith. So they had to get rid of those pickles too, so Bea would have to make even more Kerosene Cucumbers. Those are the ones appearing at the fair.

3:30 If I were Barney, I'd say, no way, she's your Aunt.

Why did Aunt Bea decide to include kerosene in her recipe?!

Kerosene Cukes !

It would be awesome if you would upload full episodes, but thank's for this..

Good old pickle contest. I need to see this Thursday.
