The Mama’s Family Crew Tries Fine Dining — Hilarious Disaster Follows

The Mama’s Family crew tried fine dining, and a hilarious disaster followed. They went out to a nice, expensive restaurant, and things went about as well as you would have expected. Watch the hysterical and iconic sketch from The Carol Burnett Show that will keep you laughing long after the clip comes to an end.

Fast food is not the healthiest type of cuisine in the world, a fact that is widely acknowledged. Despite its lack of nutritional value, it is often very convenient, which makes it always appealing. It can be easily picked up on your way home from work. A quick pit stop at McDonald’s, Wendy’s or Arby’s and you’ve got dinner for the evening.

However, there are times when you want to eat out but crave something a little better than a Big Mac or a Whopper. Sometimes fine dining is what we’re after and then it’s off to a fancy, upscale restaurant we go. Mama, Eunice and Ed were doing just that and treated themselves to a place they didn’t frequent often, or at all.

Right from the get-go, it’s clear that this outing is destined to end in total disaster. When Ed approaches the restaurant’s host, he makes it clear that they are all here to take full advantage of the “free pass that was given out last month to the mall merchants.” After Ed’s loud declaration, things only go from bad to worse.

When the trio is finally seated, Ed is overtaken by the large numbers on the restaurant’s menu. He immediately wants to know what everyone else in the restaurant does to afford such prices.

“You going to tell me all these people here are laying out prices like this for just one meal?” Ed, played by Harvey Korman, asks. “Wonder what they all do for a living; must be crooks.”

Following a long, loud series of interruptions and disruptions, the trio’s meal ends abruptly.
