During many of the classic and hysterical Carol Burnett Show skits, the studio audience wasnt the only people unable to contain their laughter; often, the cast members broke character in the middle of a sketch. The Carol Burnett Show is a beloved television program that continues to provide plenty of laughter and joy. The shows superb writing and stellar cast made for classic sketch after classic sketch. Place Tim Conway, Carol Burnett or Harvey Korman in an insane, off-the-wall setting and just sit back and wait for comedy gold. However, while the program is known for laugh-out-loud skits, its also well known for the many times actors in the sketch could not keep themselves from laughing. For the most part, Harvey seemed the easiest to break, often bursting into laughter at some insane thing from Tim. A clip posted on YouTube featured some of the best moments from the show when the actors broke out into laughter. Again, most of the skits in the video are of Harvey laughing at Tim. The video starts with Harvey and Tim playing criminal masterminds. Tim is preparing his disguise. Its not exactly the best concealment, and Harvey absolutely loses it when Tim augments it in an unconventional way. Another memorable skit in the video is Tim as the Oldest Sheriff during his terrible but hilarious attempts to play a hand of poker. Again, Harvey loses it at Tims hilarious antics. However, the skit in which everyone involved loses it and breaks character, laughing multiple times through the sketch, involves Tim as a surgeon. Tim plays the Oldest Surgeon, and seconds into the sketch, Tim, Harvey and Vicki Lawrence laugh. It would have been nearly impossible to keep from laughing during these sketches in Harvey, Tim and Vicki's defense. It's incredible they were able to keep from laughing as long as they did. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Comedic legends Dick Van Dyke and Carol Burnett play some of the dullest people imaginable in a hilarious skit from The Carol Burnett Show. Having charisma and immediately capturing peoples attention is a gift. Some people have it and others do not. Everyone wants to believe they are interesting and can hold someones attention long enough for a meaningful conversation. But unfortunately, thats not always the case. We all know people who are just dull, boring and bland. Of course, wed never admit such a thing. However, getting cornered by this individual and hearing another one of their long, drawn-out and completely uninteresting stories is one of the worst things possible. You know Im right, even if you dont want to admit it. So, what happens when you get two of the most boring people together? The Carol Burnett Show did that, and the results are absolutely hysterical. Dick and Carol play two individuals at a party. Both are standing off by themselves, with no one talking to them. Soon enough, we learn exactly why that is the case. As the clip begins, Dick spots Carol and then cautiously approaches her. He soon admits that he has little experience talking with others and that talking to himself gets old after some time. Carol, who appears to be frightened, as she stands silently as Dick drones on and on about his lack of experience with human interaction. Despite their initial hesitancy, things progress to the point where they sit down beside one another. Both then tell these long, drawn-out, and uninteresting tales. Funnily enough, Carol and Dick pick up on how boring the other person is quickly. They interrupt the other to continue their story that the other is not interested in hearing. While these characters are not exactly the most charming in the world, Carol and Dick still manage to provide plenty of laughs. Their facial expressions, mannerisms and blunt answers are laugh-out-loud hilarious. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

The legendary Carol Burnett used her comedic genius to take on inferior products in a laugh-out-loud sketch from The Carol Burnett Show. Its been said that comedy is harder than drama. That makes a lot of sense. It has to be easier to make people cry and shed tears than it is to get those same people laughing hysterically. If you want someone to cry, simply play one of those commercials featuring abused and neglected pets with the Sarah McLachlan music playing over it. Everyone has to turn away from those. However, comedy is much more subjective. What one person believes to be hilarious may not tickle the funny bone of the next guy. Thats why when people are skilled in the comedic arts, they are often referred to as a comedic genius. That title fits a limited number of people, including Carol Burnett. In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol plays an old, frumpy secretary who has been called in to dictate a letter from her boss, who is upset about a recent correspondence hes received. From the moment Carol entered the room, she had the audience laughing. Her exaggerated walk and dress are enough to cause a swell of laughter. But as Carol gets started writing out the letter, things go from bad to worse for her. Carol has a pencil snap on her. She sends the top of a typewriter flying out of the window, pours coffee on her bosss desk and puts her foot through the wall. Eventually, the outrageous and gut-busting skit ends with Carol dangling helplessly from the ceiling. This all takes place without her boss noticing any of the mishaps. Throughout the clip, the studio audience roars with laughter as they look upon Carols many misfortunes. Carol keeps everyone laughing without even saying one word in the nearly 5-minute skit! Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Legendary comedian and actor Tim Conway experienced quite the adverse reaction following several shots in a hilarious skit from The Carol Burnett Show. Most people dont enjoy visiting the doctor. Those visits to medical professionals become even more dreaded when those stops include shots. While shots and vaccines are necessary to keep us safe and healthy, who enjoys being stuck with a needle? No one, thats the answer. However, Tim, in a hysterical skit, doesnt mind shots all that much. Tim appears in the sketch alongside Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman as a couple of doctors celebrating at a restaurant. Tim is Dr. Percy, who volunteered to take a variety of shots, hoping to find a cure for the Swine flu. Everything seems great until Tim runs out for a moment. But when he returns, there is something noticeably different about him. As usual, when Tim and Harvey are in a sketch together, Harvey has a hard time keeping it together. Harvey cracks up as he watches Tim munching down on a banana peel. Somehow, Carol is able to keep it together throughout the skit. Then later, near the conclusion of the nearly 8-minute skit, Carol also begins experiencing a similar reaction to Tim. The Carol Burnett Show, even decades after it was on television, continues to keep people howling with laughter. Harvey, Carol and Tim genuinely seemed to like and appreciate one another. At times, it almost seemed to be a competition between them to see who could get the other to break character first. Im going to say that Tim was likely the winner of those possible competitions. Harvey, who seemed to always play the straight man, was always laughing as he does yet again in this sketch. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Tim Conway and Carol Burnett starred in a hilarious skit about a phone call from The Carol Burnett Show. Theres not much more annoying than getting a call from a number you dont recognize and who then does not leave a voicemail. This leads to all kinds of questions. Who was the person on the other end? Was it simply a wrong number? Or was it someone who intended to call you? If they did mean to call you, why didnt they leave a voicemail stating their reasoning for calling? Who calls instead of texts anyway? This is likely a string of questions that have gone through everyones mind at one time or another. Errant and unanswered phone calls are one way that shows how the human mind works. The mind can go to some crazy places and come up with some weird thoughts at times. A clip posted on YouTube hilariously demonstrates how much damage a call from a wrong number can do, especially for a married couple. In the sketch, Tim and Carol play a married couple who receive a call in the middle of the night from a wrong number. As Carols mind begins to race and think about the mysterious caller, things go from bad to worse. Carol starts to put together this idea in her mind that the phone call was all part of some elaborate plan cooked up by her beloved husband. However, by the end of the clip, Carols initial thoughts and feelings about the call in the middle of the night may not be as crazy as everyone thought. Her remedy to the situation proves that she probably already had an inkling as to what was going on. Carol and Tim, once again, show why they are comedic legends in this laugh-out-loud skit. They take something as innocent and mundane as a call from a wrong number and turn it into six minutes of hilarity! Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good like a medicine: but a broken spirit dries the bones.

Two comedic legends, Dick Van Dyke And Tony Randall, appeared in a rib-tickling and laugh-out-loud skit On The Carol Burnett Show. Money is a necessity to function and survive in society. Its the primary motivating factor why people go to work Monday through Friday. As much as we may like our jobs, the odds are that we wouldnt keep showing up if it werent for that weekly or bi-weekly paycheck. Money in and of itself is not a bad thing. In fact, money can do a lot of good in the world. It can pay for a much-needed operation, clothe and feed someone who desperately needs help or put a young person through college. But sometimes, the love of and the excessive desire for money can damage, destroy and strain relationships. Dick and Tony played two buddies enjoying a Hawaiian vacation in a hilarious skit from the beloved The Carol Burnett Show. While they appear to be best friends, the hysterical skit demonstrates how quickly those bonds can become weakened whenever money is involved. The skit starts with Tonys character brooding and complaining about losing $10. He may be in paradise, but he is letting something as small as losing money ruin his vacation. Dick has heard enough of his constant complaining. He continually tells him that he would not let something so small and insignificant disturb him. To show how little he cares about $10, Dick sets a $10 bill on fire. See, no sweat. Dick doesnt care! But things quickly change. Tony discovers that he has not lost his money at all. It was in his pocket the entire time. Dicks mood changes almost instantly following this revelation. From that point forward, the two friends go back and forth, bickering about who is owed what, how much and when. By the end of the skit, its unclear if they are still friends. Hebrews 13:5 Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

Jeanne Robertson was an American humorist, motivational speaker, athlete, teacher, YouTube personality, and Miss North Carolina from 1963. She sadly passed away in 2021 at the age of 77, but her humor and videos live on. In this YouTube video, we get to hear a funny story about the time she was an MC at a small-town beauty pageant in Alabama. One of the young contestants happened to be from Long Island or a city close to it. And she had a pretty thick accent. Jeanne gives the audience an example, and then talks about how the young contestant was concerned the audience would laugh at her because of it. Jeanne says that she told her, I hadnt noticed it, and the audience burst into laughter. The girls talent was going to be tap dancing like the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes, which would come up later in her story. Jeanne tells us about Elmo, the man who ran the audio, which at the time meant he had to change out the records based on each contestant. She talks about how the audience didnt laugh at the girl when she came out and talked about herself for the first time. Then she goes on to talk about a few of the other contestants and what they did for their talents. One jumped on a trampoline, another lifted weights to classical music, and a third packed a suitcase. And still, the audience did not lose it. It was time for the Northern girl to start her talent, tap dancing. Only, when the music started playing Elmo had it on the wrong setting and it was set at a very fast tempo. The girl went with it and started tap dancing very fast. However, when Elmo tried to fix his mistake, the tempo became very slow and the girl started dancing slowly to match it. Then, the record got stuck and kept repeating itself with the lyric, warm. The girl just went with it and the audience started doing it along with her. Jeanne made the audience laugh once again by acting out the dancing. Jeanne has a way of telling a story. She is engaging and makes the audience laugh, no matter what she seems to be talking about. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD has done great things for them. - Psalm 126:2

Angel Gaines, a teacher and a comedian, hilariously recalled some of the challenges she has encountered in the classroom while interacting with her students. Teaching is an important and noble profession. The men and women who work in education are literally teaching the next generation. What those men and women do in the classroom, what and how they teach those kids, will have consequences for decades to come. But as most people understand, trying to reach and teach children anything is not an easy task. Most kids have small, minute attention spans and a need to get up and move around and explore their surroundings. However, those are not the only challenges when it comes to teaching kids as Angel hysterically mentioned in a clip posted on YouTube. As Angel states, one of her most difficult daily tasks involves reading and spelling her students names. According to Angel, Millennials are getting way too creative with their childrens names. After a glance at one of the names on her classroom roll, Angel, given how the childrens name was spelled, had a hilarious but relatable question for the young woman. I looked at the roster, I said, Baby, is this your name or your mommas computer password? Angel said. Later in the hilarious clip, Angel talked about an argument she got into with one of her students. It involved Jonah, the whale that swallowed him and where the student and the teacher will spend eternity. Teaching is a wonderful and immensely important profession. We need all the good and dedicated educators that we can get. But as Angel hilariously points out, the men and women who choose to go into that field will need plenty of patience and a willingness to learn alternative spellings to common names. James 3:1 Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others.

Actress Catherine OHara, who played Kevins mother in the Home Alone films, revealed the hilarious parenting critique she received from an unlikely source. All families have holiday traditions they partake in every Christmas season. Some enjoy decorating the tree together. Others may wrap presents or make a special dish or sugary treat together. But no matter what families do, all have movies they must watch every single year. If that doesnt happen, can it be considered the Christmas season? Now, likely a popular choice for those annual Christmastime viewings are the Home Alone films. As most people know, those films are about a young boy mistakenly left alone by his family and must defend himself against a pair of bumbling, dimwitted criminals. In a clip posted on TikTok, Catherine mentioned that she had a hysterical encounter with an 8-year-old in a shopping mall who gave her a dressing down about her lack of parenting skills in those films. Are you Kevins mom? Catherine recalls the child asking. I said, Well yeah, I played Kevins mom in a movie, yes. But the fact that Catherines parenting or lack of Kevin took place in a movie and wasnt real still didnt sit well with this child. Why did you leave him? the child asked her. Sorry, it was in the script, Catherine responded to her child interrogator. So, you left him twice. I know, Im sorry. As Catherine points out, the youngster then accused her of abandoning her child. This is a hilarious example that shows that movies mean different things to different people. Some people watch the Home Alone films and see a hilarious comedy about a child using creative and inventive ways to protect himself while putting a couple of criminals through the wringer. Others watch it and see a sorry excuse of a mother who continually leaves her child behind during Christmas. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

The iconic Dick Van Dyke brought the laughs by playing the role of an encyclopedia salesman in another hilarious sketch on The Carol Burnett Show. The Carol Burnett Show was a legendary comedic program that boasted terrific writing and had one of the best casts youll ever see on a television show. Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman, Tim Conway and Vicki Lawrence never failed to make audiences laugh. Often, they even had their fellow castmates burst into laughter. But it wasnt just the shows regular cast that would have audiences laughing hysterically. The show often had some of the biggest names in comedy make guest appearances, including the iconic legendary Dick Van Dyke. In a sketch posted on YouTube, Dick plays an encyclopedia salesman who picked quite possibly the worst time to visit Harvey and Carol. Carol and Harvey play a married couple who are having a massive fight, and Dick finds himself in the middle of it. Throughout the laugh-out-loud clip, Dick takes a beating. Hes hit, pushed, shoved and even finds himself thrown over a balcony. But like any good salesman, Dick is determined and persistent, willing to go through anything to make the sale. Near the end of the clip, Carol and Harvey have made up and put their disagreements aside. They have also agreed to help Dick and want to purchase his most expensive set of encyclopedias for all his trouble. However, just like everything else in the clip, this sale still does not work out for him. He once again literally finds himself in the middle of a domestic dispute. This clip features some of the most talented people to ever appear on television. Carol, Harvey and Dick are all legends. But its Dick that shines brightest here as he demonstrates his skills in the comedic arts! Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

Three comedic legends Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Carol Burnett bring the laughs in a hilarious Carol Burnett Show sketch about a cramped office. Before the pandemic changed forever how and where people work, nearly everyone went into a physical office to do their job. However, instead of going into an office every day, many people do their work remotely, working from the friendly confines of their homes. Working from home, like everything else, has its advantages and disadvantages. But one of the biggest advantages of working from a remote, home office is the space it allows people. No one has to work right on top of one another because coworkers are literally spread out around the country and maybe even around the world. In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol, Tim and Harvey demonstrate in the most hysterical way possible the issues with trying to fit too many people in a small, tight working area. But those three arent the only members of the talented Carol Burnett Show cast who make an appearance in the sketch, all get involved. Vicki Lawrence pops in and out of the office, playing the boss. The sketch begins with Carol and Harvey arriving at the beginning of their workday. But seconds after their arrival, something is off about this situation. Carol and Harvey work in an office designed to house one person. However, while working together for 20 years in that location, Carol and Harvey have made things work. Tim arrives minutes into the sketch as a brand-new hire, adding one more person to the already cramped and tightly compact office. To get to his seat, Tim hilariously struggles, climbing on and over the office furniture. How Tim, Carol and Harvey kept from laughing had to have been a monumental chore. Tim is beaten in the face repeatedly by a typewriter, and Harvey never cracks a smile! Also, before the classic skit ends, Tim gets slammed in the face by a filing cabinet. Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a broken spirit drieth up the bones.

Comedian Mike James has been married for 35 years. In this video, he talks and laughs about the secret to his marriage and the game he and his wife play that he never wins. Mike makes a joke about how he is not sure what the secret of marriage is but that he has never been divorced and that it looks like too much paperwork. He talks about how when he was first married he was deployed a lot with the military, and now he is on the road as a comedian. He and his wife have to have a lot of quality time together to make things work as they dont have a lot of time together. They have date nights, such as going out for dinner. And when they do, his wifes rule is that it cant be one of the first seven places he suggested. He got a big laugh for that one. Sometimes he and his wife stay in and play games. His wifes favorite game is, Guess why Im upset? Thats a hoot, Mike says, Ive never beat her. 35 years, Ive never won. Not one time. Im not even sure what the rules are. That one got a big laugh too. Marriage isnt easy and it does take a lot of work. But you have to laugh about it. Having a sense of humor, good communication, and relying on God will go a long way in having a long and healthy marriage. While Mike jokes a lot about his marriage, it is clear that he loves his wife and enjoys bringing her up in his bits. Men and women can be so different, but finding ways to connect is so important. Why they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder. - Matthew 19:6

One comedian, Marty Simpson, took his family to the theme parks in central Florida for a week, and as he hilariously details, it sounds like they wont be making a return trip any time soon. Central Florida is essentially the theme park capital of the world. Of course, Disney World and its four parks Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom are the main draw to that part of the Sunshine State. But there are also the Universal Studios parks, Busch Gardens and SeaWorld in that same area. Millions of people every year visit those parks, including comedian Marty Simpson and his family. Instead of one of the most magical and happy experiences of his life, Marty has a different way of referring to his familys 7-day trip to Disney World and SeaWorld. So my 10 and 7 year old were that age when we took them to Disney for the first time, Marty said. We took them to Disney and SeaWorld for 7 days. And I refer to these 7 days like it were the 7 days I spent in Vietnam. Its safe to say that he is not a fan of theme parks! He mentioned that he and his family stayed at one of Disneys resorts near the parks. He stated that he had to constantly remind his children that they were not the only people staying at the resort. But the most hilarious part of his bit about his familys Florida trip was riding a terrifying roller coaster at SeaWorld. His young daughter, who he calls a little daredevil, got him on a roller coaster. Marty, as he hilariously states, has a massive fear of heights. While on the coaster, to distract himself from the horrible and frightening experience, Marty began reciting the Lords Prayer. Of course, his daughter wanted to do it again. But he gave her a definitive and straightforward answer: No. Theme parks, with all their fast-paced and huge drops, are not for everybody. Theme parks are not for Marty! Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy heart, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

The legendary Tim Conway as the Oldest Man flexed his comedic muscles in another classic and hilarious skit from The Carol Burnett Show. The Carol Burnett Show was a program that featured an all-star cast Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Vicki Lawrence. The writing on the program was also top-notch, placing the shows talented cast of comedians in zany and off-the-wall situations. Those are the two reasons the writing and the cast why the classic skits keep people laughing even decades after the show ended its run on television. A clip posted on YouTube features Tim and Harvey as two slaves on a ship forced to row the boat as their menacing and unforgiving taskmasters keep a close eye on them. The sketch begins with Harvey sitting in the front row, who is whipped for failing to keep up the pace. Harvey states that because he has no partner, hes unable to keep up with everyone else. His taskmasters solution to Harveys dilemma is Tim as The Oldest Man. Tim enters, and the laughs start immediately. Tim slowly makes his way to his seat next to Harvey, who is already cracking up, even before his new partner takes his seat. The Oldest Man introduces himself to Harvey. They shake hands, and Tim gives Harvey some information that would have been helpful a few seconds earlier. Hi, Im a leper, Tim tells Harvey. The studio audience roars with laughter. Later into the skit, lunch is served. One of the taskmasters throws bread down at Tims feet and informs him he has 30 seconds for lunch. Tims only option to get the bread is to use his feet. This hilarious maneuver has the entire audience and Harvey reacting with laughs. Anytime Tim and Harvey were put in a skit together, it was always a good time, filled with some of the most ridiculous situations and tons of laughs. This clip is no exception to that rule! Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Carol Burnett And Harvey Korman put their comedic talents to good use in another hysterical skit about misunderstandings from The Carol Burnett Show. Its always a good idea to talk things out and discuss anything of importance or significance. Proper communication is a must for any and every relationship to function correctly. Communication issues can lead to problems, hurt feelings and misunderstandings. In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol and Harvey play a husband and a wife who experience issues with their communication. Their lack of proper communication leads to tears for Carol but still provides the audience with plenty of laughs. The skit begins with an upset and frustrated Carol sitting on the couch reading the newspaper upside down. Something is clearly bothering her. When she finally tells her sister whats the matter, she reveals that she has convinced herself that her husband is involved with another woman. Carol goes into the bedroom to cry and ponder her perceived marital troubles. Moments later, Harvey enters the house, he has been in a wreck with another woman. The car has suffered damage. Boy, the nerve of some people, Harvey says. There I was minding my own business, and wham! He adds that some dame just hit me at the intersection. Halfway through the clip, Carol enters the room. Harvey and Carol have a conversation. But everything that Harvey says about his earlier wreck could also apply to the extramarital affair that Carol believes is taking place. But the funniest part of the entire skit happens right before it ends. Harvey has left the room, and Carol answers the door. Its the woman who hit Harveys vehicle, dropping off her insurance information. But she is wearing a coat that conceals her stomach. As she does, she states that she is there to talk about her little accident with Carols husband. The woman is pregnant, and Carol passes out following the reveal. Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.

The Carol Burnett Show sported an all-star cast made up of legendary comedians and, from time to time, also attracted notable guests like Betty White, Steve Martin and Dick Van Dyke. Over the years, many shows have hit the airwaves trying to provide audiences with laughter and a momentary escape from reality. Some have been more successful than others. But very few, only a handful of television programs, have gone on to become classics. The Carol Burnett Show still manages to keep people laughing even decades after it last aired. One of the main reasons The Carol Burnett Show continues to make people laugh is because of its incredibly talented cast, including Tim Conway and Carol Burnett. But in select episodes, other comedians and comedic actors popped up on the show. A clip posted on YouTube features some of those hysterical celebrity guest appearances. The clip begins with Steve Martin trying to expand his audience, trying to appeal specifically to dogs. He says that he has come up with comedy that mans best friend will appreciate. Now, a lot of dogs watch TV, but theres nothing really on that they can enjoy, maybe a couple of commercials, and thats about it, Steve said. So, I ve worked up a comedy act for dogs. Steves bit even has several dogs sitting in front of him so he can test how well his act is going. But things go about as well as can be expected. Later in the clip, Betty White and Carol appear in a Mamas Family skit. Betty and Carol get into an argument that is overheard by Mama. That doesnt work out well for anyone. Finally, Dick Van Dyke and Carol sing a song together. Dick, following the lyrics of the song, then dumps paint on Carol. Eventually, the two legendary comedians break out into laughter. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.
