Lucy Does a TV Commercial Report Abuse
This is the one featuring Vitametavegamin, which Lucy is hired to hock on TV. She does retake after retake, each time tasting the awful concoction. It's 23% alcohol, so Lucy ends up totally drunk and asks, "Are you unpoopular? Do you pop out at parties?"

Lucy was just brilliant in this episode! The way she gradually went from eager to do a good job to totally crocked was hilarious. Just proved what a comedic genius Lucille Ball was.

Has any other female comedian been able to think on her feet as well as Lucille Ball was able to? She was the master and episodes like this one are classic and Comedy 101.

Lucy is Enceinte Report Abuse
When this episode aired, you couldn't say "pregnant" on TV. They skirted around it by saying she was "expecting." She revealed the news to Ricky by requesting his song "We're Having a Baby" at the club. Ricky gets quite a surprise when he finds out who requested the song!
