Carol Burnett seemed to wind up getting her clothes torn off on the variety show a lot - I remember a couple sketches that had her doing TV commercial parodies that ended with her getting stripped down to a slip. If I can find the (crappy old VHS) tapes I recorded them on I'll do caps and post them. There was also a sketch I don't remember that well where Carol and Harvey are playing their ham actor characters (Funt and Mundane) and keep trying to sabotage each other, eventually tearing each other's clothes apart. I've seen clips from this but never the full sketch. I have 2 caps from the end of the sketch here.

I remember a sketch like the one you described from one of the last season or 2 of the series. There was a movie parody of the old 1936 Clark Gable/Jeanette McDonald movie San Francisco where Dick Van Dyke rips of one side of Carol's modest 1900's dress so she's wearing a black basque and garter stockings on one side and normal turn-of the century clothes on the other side.

Apparently there was a sketch in one of the early seasons that had Carol in a Mexican movie parody getting her clothes torn off by a dancer with a whip like in the DEVO video. I've never seen the sketch but there's 2 stills from in a book shown here.

There are a few more like this I've seen but only once. I remember a show that began with her doing a parody of a Wagnerian opera singer that sings an aria while a huge special effects storm blows and knocks down the set and tears most of her costume off.

There was an introduction segment for one of the late season shows where Carol got into some kind of verbal catfight with Penny Marshall that ended with her "pulling a loose thread" on Penny's gown and taking the entire top off.

(I also remember a sketch from the Redd Foxx Comedy Hour - everybody had their own crappy variety show in the 1970's - where Penny Marshall had her dress blown off by a kind of powerful fan Redd had invented. All from before VHS, so I'll probably never see these again.)

Heisuke,

Can you suggest a good (easy) method for doing this? I have a pooperload of old VHS tapes myself, stuffed with various ENF and EUF things I recorded over the years, some of which I have never seen on this site if you can believe it. Would love to share them but I'm not the most technical of personages.

I really can't say I remember exactly what started my interest in EUF, but Natalie Wood losing her dress in the Great Race certianly made an impression on me. Laugh-In provided some great EUF moments with Judy Carne and Barbara Feldon losing their dresses, and Who's Minding the Store had that fantastic split second scene of the snooty secretary getting her skirt sucked off by an out of control vacuum cleaner. The Matt Helm films were fertile ground for EUF (especially the Stella Stevens scene in; The Silencers). There was also some crappy Elvis movie (that doesn't narrow it down much, I guess) with Shelly Fabares ending up in her underwear during a jail escape. The film had a "beach" theme (which also doesn't narrow it down much). Shelly Fabares was in two or three Elvis movies, but I'm pretty sure the one I'm thinking of is either; Girl Happy, or Clam Bake. Anyone know the scene I'm talking about?

Here's some photos from the above scenes. I thought it was on OCC, but I can't seem to find the Barbara Feldon clip. Anyone have it? Here's a link to the Judy Carne clip from Laugh-In; https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/show...e#post9 28992

Here's something you'll probably only remember if you're well into your forties; the catfight/stripping scene from: Mad Monster Party. That Francesa was one sexy puppet. Does anyone have this scene?

Russian miniseries "The Master and Margarita", in episode 4. The magician gives out free dresses to the women in the audience, and later they vanish. EUF scenes start at 19:00 and 24:52. Quality isn't good enough for caps, looks better when playing. Can't post a URL, but it's on YouTube if you search.

nice find of the old films and capturing.. awesome sharing everyone
