Andy Griffith Football Story from 1953

by · July 28, 2012

Andy Griffith’s famous 1953 stand-up monologue about college football. It has become one of the most beloved comedy recordings of all time. The illustrations used in this video were drawn by George Woodbridge, a Mad Magazine artist. The comic illustration appear in Mad Magazine in 1958. You can view the illustration at www.collectmad.com We edited the illustrations to match the story line. We then used this clip for illustrative purposes during one of our church services here at Cornerstone City Church. www.CornerstoneIndy.com

    I MISS U ANDY! :(

  2. TheOneTrueKaliban says:

    Yes. It’s interesting to compare this piece to what’s currently appearing in Mad. It’s spiraled down, right along with so much else.  George Woodbridge was the perfect choice to illustrate this piece. One of the keys to the success of EC was their knack for intelligently pairing their artists to their scripts.

    You’re always going to be immature, child. Oh, and for all you know, I might actually be the cop who is going to be arresting you next week…or the judge who is going to be deciding how long you get to stay in prison home…or your new room-mate once you do arrive in prison. Have fun while you can, kiddo!

  16. theunbubba says:

    Hahahahaha! You’re still just another nose picking libtard yankee. See ya fool.

  17. archerdude001 says:

    You wish you “got to me”, you mean. I’m actually laughing at you. You’re still immature.

  19. archerdude001 says:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…. Oh, that is so funny. Not. You’re still immature, as shown by your preference for insults.

  20. theunbubba says:

    You are also a pinhead. making fun of a dialectal form that you were so enamored of in the opening. You are nothing but a confused libtard culture vulture. Have some more government cheese.

    I’m not saying they all are but there are some who are and to get hit by those type that are will be opinion changing for example if Lionel messi did a hitting drill with ray Lewis where messi ran the ball I guarantee messi would get demolished by a 6-1 250 guy who runs a 4.5 40yd dash

    The most athletic sportsmen anyway, are basketball players if anyone.

  30. TheFlumpig says:

    It’s completely ignorant to say, that all american football players are, bigger faster and stronger, than all football players. To play both the games, the two most important things you need are technical ability, and intelligence. In fact, those are the only things you NEED. Everything else is a bonus. To say American Football players hit the gym harder than football players is flat out stupid, because both have the same drive and determination to be successful.

    Ok big bad soccer players if you had any knowledge at all of American football u would know the origin of the name… If also like to see those who call us wimps play the game… If u hadn’t noticed soccer players who enter college or pros and switch to football only play kicker… So u can call us wimps for wearing helmets etc. but lemme know how u feel once you’ve gotten your bell wrong by someone bigger faster and stronger than you
