Lucille Ball // 5 Reasons Why We Love Lucy - Ricky's English [1]

This is sorta the lost part 1. I wasn't intending to split these videos - I wanted it to be one whole, but I had too many clips and too little time so this is how it had to be.

The best part is watching Desi trying not to laugh when she makes fun of him lol they were so cute.

[sbarr]

Desi Arnaz was so incredible, allowing himself to be set up as the butt of the "English" jokes.

[boopadoop]

I love how he almost laughs every time she talks back

[cards]

They left out - " we won swish aparments"

This was fantastic. I watched it 3x in a row. Ricky's accent made for such comical fodder and Lucy knew exactly how to use it! Desi was a totally underrated player in the I Love Lucy gang. He was extremely talented. Thank you for such a pleasurable video...I plan to watch it AGAIN!

I love the way Ricky talks. Makes for good laughs.

Some time ago, I read that no one on the show was allowed to make fun of Desi's English - except Lucy!!!

[bettyb]

I dunt think there will ever be another show to even begin to rival that of I Love Lucy...

[BrownPride]

They forgot the one when lucy mocks him saying "well id like a low-gical explanation"

[raysand]

They were adorable! No wonder they were America's sweethearts!

[YouheardaboutPluto]

Actually according to the writers of the show, it was the studio audience that had a fit if anyone but Lucy made fun of Desi's english.

[PK-fwxl]

Lucy was funny but Desi was a hoot in many scenes 😂

[kathleenmckeithen]

Fabulous, fabulous years! I watched those when they were brand new, and never get tired of rewatching. Thank you so much for posting these! I loved Desi as much as Lucy. :)

[KristinaHoogs]

Desi only allowed Lucy to make fun of his accent in the show. I loved this!

[Danny-gurs]

Ricky: After all blackmailers can't be shoosers... Lucy: I just want to make sure you shoose shomething that shows me off!..

[George_uh_Glass]

Music unnecessary. It detracted from it

[billyriedel]

I always wondered how much was desi's actual pronunciation and how much was just written into the script for him to say it that way

[aliciasanchez]

Lucy: i refuse to discuss anything with a sneak

Ricky: a snake!?

Lucy: alright a snake

Ricky: and don't you make fun of my English

Lucy: hmp, that's English


Me: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The jaunty music made it difficult to hear the humour of the mispronunciation, etc.
🤔😔
