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.

A group of baseball players took a timeout during the middle of a game to recreate the iconic scene from Dirty Dancing.
Everyone has a favorite movie they could watch and probably have watched hundreds of times without ever getting tired of it. Its also likely that we could easily recite nearly every single line of dialogue from that beloved film. For whatever reason, we connected with those scenes, characters and the films story, and now its forever etched in our brains.
For many people, Dirty Dancing is one film they could watch repeatedly. But even if you havent watched the 1987 film starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, youre likely familiar with it or at least know of one scene from the flick. In the movies most memorable scene, Johnny and Baby put on a dance performance as Time of My Life plays. But the most iconic part of their routine involves Baby running and jumping into the air as Johnny catches her and spins her around.
The Savannah Bananas is a team that plays a different kind of baseball. Their game is infused with fun, silliness and even a dance routine. In a clip posted on Facebook, the guys stop in the middle of a game and recreate that scene from Dirty Dancing, jump, catch, spin and all.
In the short, 2-minute clip, the song begins playing as two of the players lip-sync those timeless lyrics. Several of the players even start strutting their stuff right on the diamond, much to the delight of the fans in the stands.
The fans love the synchronized dance number from the group of players. They shout and respond with a thunderous round of applause.
Who doesnt want a little bit of fun and silliness with their baseball every now and then?
Psalm 149:3 Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Two legendary comedic actors, Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman, hilariously demonstrated how football season can be a difficult time of year for couples.
Most people in the United States of America love football. If not them personally, they know someone who is obsessed with watching their favorite team do battle on the gridiron. As great a game as football is, it can suck up a lot of ones time and attention. This situation may lead to heated discussions, or lack thereof, between spouses.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol continually attempts to talk to her husband, played by Harvey. However, her efforts to strike up a conversation are unsuccessful. He is glued to the television as hes more concerned with watching the final few minutes of an all-important football game.
Carol refuses to quit. She wants to be acknowledged and have a discussion with her husband, and she goes to great and pretty hilarious lengths to accomplish this. She places herself between her husband and the television.
To continue watching the football game, Harvey physically picks Carol up and places her on the other side of the room. This maneuver seems to be the straw that broke the camels back. At this point, Carol is steaming mad, screaming at her football-obsessed husband.
That did it, Carol yells. That absolutely did it!
She then grabs a newspaper, crumbles it up and throws it onto the floor.
I am leaving this house, and I am not coming back until the end of the football season, Carol screams.
She storms the door, but not even all that commotion is enough to get her husbands attention away from the television. So, Carol does an instant replay of what she just did. This is the highlight and funniest part of the entire sketch.
She moves backward and makes it appear that she is being rewound to yell about football again.
Carol Burnett is a legendary comedian, and this clip perfectly shows why she is universally adored and loved!
Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.
Two comedic legends, Carol Burnett and Tim Conway, bring the laughs once again as they star in yet another hilarious skit from the beloved and classic Carol Burnett Show.
Soap operas are, for some reason, a television staple. Despite the terrible, over-the-top acting and the horrible writing, a segment of the population still faithfully watches them. Given the bad acting and poor writing, soap operas are easy and obvious targets for mockery and ridicule.
In a clip posted on YouTube, The Carol Burnett Show took aim at soap operas, mocking everything that makes those awful, over-the-top television programs memorable. Carol, Tim and even Harvey Korman appear in their faux soap opera, As the Stomach Turns.
The hysterical skit begins with Carol sitting at a table pouring herself a cup of tea while a man provides a voice-over, giving viewers a recap about what happened since the last episode of As the Stomach Turns. Seconds into the skit, Tim, dressed as an elderly man, makes his slow, steady and uproarious entrance into the room.
Eventually, after much effort, Tim sits down in a chair. Carol and Tim have a difficult discussion. She informs him that hes being placed in a nursing home. He doesnt accept the news well and attempts to run away. But dont worry, he doesnt get too far!
Vicki Lawrence enters the room as the teenage temptress and throws a wrench into everything. Soon enough, she becomes the object of desire for every man in As the Stomach Turns, even Tims elderly, 91-year-old character.
The entire sketch is absolutely fantastic, providing audiences with a ton of laughs. At one point, Carol and Harvey break character, unable to contain their laughter at Tims insane and hilarious antics.
But the highlight of the entire 14-minute skit is likely Tims slow-motion fall down the stairs. Much like The Carol Burnett Show, Tims fall is hysterical!
Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.
Legendary comedians Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Carol Burnett star in a laugh-out-loud skit in which Tim makes quite the first impression on his fiances father.
The Carol Burnett Show featured an all-star cast and fantastic, hilarious writing. Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Vicki Lawrence were often placed in absurd, off-the-wall situations and then given the opportunity to use their God-given comedic talents to great effect. Their hilarious antics, which still have people laughing decades later, made for television gold.
In one classic sketch, Carol and Tim play a newly engaged couple hoping to win the approval of Carols strict and overbearing father. This is a big moment for their relationship and future together.
However, as Tim arrives for his first meeting with Carols father, he announces that he has undergone a series of allergy tests. Soon after Carols father (played by Harvey Korman) enters the room, things dont go according to plan. Tim slowly begins acting more and more like a cat, no doubt a side effect of all those tests.
Harvey approaches Tim, holding out his hand for a handshake. Tim, instead of meeting his hand, sniffs the strangers hand. Things arent off to a great start, to say the least.
Put off by Tims greeting, Harvey tells Carol, his daughter in the sketch, that theres a lot to be said for being an old maid.
Tim lunges at Harveys neck with his hand, and he hisses much like a cat who is upset or afraid.
Carols fiance then begins scratching uncontrollably, commenting that he believes hes come down with fleas.
But things go from bad to worse for the happy couple. Tim bats around a pocket watch that Harvey swings back and forth. The temptation is too much to withstand.
Harveys character, taken aback by the absurd behavior, reacts negatively to Tim. Tim once again hisses at Harvey, which causes him to join everyone else watching the skit and burst out in laughter.
The skit eventually ends with Tim being chased by a dog and climbing up the drapes. Despite everything, Tim and Carol get her fathers blessing.
Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.
Two comedic legends, Carol Burnett and Jerry Lewis, play two socially awkward individuals on a first date in another hilarious sketch from The Carol Burnett Show.
Dating can be a weird and uncomfortable process. Mustering up the nerve to ask someone out can be a daunting task. But first dates can be even more unpleasant as two people try to strike up a conversation to get to know one another. Sometimes theres a spark or a connection, and other times, it ends badly.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol Burnett and Jerry Lewis play two people who are odd and peculiar by nearly every conceivable measure. Theyve been set up on a date by their loud, overbearing parents, who inform them that much is riding on them forging a love connection. The pressure is on for these two people to hit it off.
Jerry Lewis, wearing dark, thick-rimmed glasses, a suit jacket and slacks several inches too short, enters the room for his big date. Carol also wears thick glasses and has a postnasal drip.
The date is off to a rough start as Jerry walks into and trips over the couch. They quickly size each other up, and the conservation is not exactly sparkling. Each talks about their background and their social failures.
About halfway through the skit, Carols character states that her father suggested she undergo plastic surgery. Jerry asks when she plans to have it done, and Carol hilariously responds that it has already been completed.
There is also some dancing, which is essentially nothing more than Jerry hoping and jumping about the room.
But then something odd and unexpected happens. The two quickly fall in love and share what is likely the weirdest first kiss possible. They then follow it up with the strangest second kiss ever.
How Carol and Jerry made it through the entire sketch without laughing or smiling is beyond me. It is an absolutely hysterical sketch!
