A great take on an old vaudeville routine. The 3 Stooges did my favourite version of all time. The last time I heard it was in the 70′s, on the Mike Douglas show (Moe Howard was the guest).
Martha! lol! Just love Lucy. When I’ve had a horrible day like today, Lucy always makes me laugh! The world has never had another like her–and never will. I love Lucy!
I am not 100% sure….but pretty sure this is an old routine passed down through the years in the old vaudeville days of the stage in the early part of the 20th century…..very likely pre-dates the three stooges. In fact many of the routines the 3 stooges did were from the silent film era….like the clam in the soup that kept squirting curly. Of course the three stooges did these old routines perfectly. Nothing wrong with updating old successful routines for younger audiences.
Martha? Slowly I turned. step by step inch by inch I looked for a rock and I couldn’t find one so I grabbed a handful of Niagara Falls and I let him have it!
@KiminyLala I was just asking my wife if she could hear him. lol You can hear him in so many episodes.
HOW MANY BLACK&WHITE CHARACTERS HAD SOMETHING WITH “SLOWLY I TURNED”?!?!?!?

this is stupid, what does cake have to do with turning?
It started on Vaudeville in the 20s and 30s. I Love Lucy is a bit later.
Which came first, this or the Three Stooges version?
Can you upload this whole scene? I’d live to see it from the top.
