--> '''Ricky''': Now wait a minute, girls, wait a minute, you have misconstrued the entire point of this situation. Now you see, if the story were true, then we would have been gossiping. But the story was ''not'' true. We made it up. The whole thing was friction. So ''we'' were not gossiping. Now, you girls ''believed'' that the story was true so you ''were'' gossiping. Now, that's the whole thing.

Given that Creator/LucilleBall is often ranked and considered the funniest comedienne in television history, and ''I Love Lucy'' is still to this day lauded as one of the greatest Sitcoms of all time, expect quite a few legendary examples on this page.

* Lucy has been wanting to get a new, Italian-style haircut--basically very, very short--but Ricky thinks she'd look ridiculous. At her salon, she sees a mannequin with a wig on it, and convinces the hair stylist to try it on and then decides to prank Rick with it. When Ricky walks in, he sees the (still bald) mannequin head with a sign reading "How would you like to look like this?" and give a ''magnificent'' DoubleTake.
-->'''Ricky:''' [''to the stylist''] Is this what we have to look forward to?

* Lucy tries to prove herself as a "Creator/MarilynMonroe type" to a Hollywood talent scout. When greeting Fred and Ethel, she enters wearing a blonde wig, a slinky dress, and a fake beauty mark. She also practices her SexyWalk and seductive smile. Additionally, after Lucy asks Fred and Ethel to guess who she's supposed to be, Fred answers, "Creator/HumphreyBogart in a wig!"
