“I Love Lucy” Friday: “Hello folks! I’m your Vitameatavegamin girl! … Do you poop out at parties?”

http://www.food.com/members/home/191050/mypic_1221705945.jpgSome I Love Lucy scenes are so classic that you just have to revisit them every now and then.

This is the case with Lucy Does a Television Commercial from season one. It’s one of the few classics that does not feature Ethel (Vivian Vance) as Lucy’s partner in crime so this is a real Lucille Ball tour-de-force.

The way she gets progressively sloshed is brilliant! She goes from saying all the lines perfectly delivering this:

“Well, I’m your Vitavigavegivat Girl. Are you tired, run down, listless? Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular? [pause] Well, are you? The answer to all your problems is in this little ol’ bottle, Vitameatavegamin.  [Checks the bottle label]  That’s it. Vitameatavegamin contains vitamins, meat, megetables and vinerals. So why don’t you join the thousands of happy peppy people and get a great big bottle of Vitaveatyvemeanyminimoe. I’ll tell you what you have to do. You have to take a whole tablespoonful after every meal. It’s so tasty too. It’s just like candy.
[Takes a bit of time, if not too much, trying to sample the liquid. Finally... ]
So everybody get a bottle of… [pointing at the bottle] this stuff.”

Enjoy it all over again!

  1. lol

  2. This is one of my favorite episodes. A friend of mine just lent me the first season and I had a blast with it. In the set, they also include the pilot episode. I was speechless when I saw the bedroom: Twin beds, separated!

    Lucy and Desi were so good, they brought a lot of fun to the world. :-)
