Tim being a comedy legend and Vickie one upping him was a once in a lifetime achievement. Carol and Dick made it that much better.

The best part is that Vikki did that to nail Conway. The whole elephant story was just Tim going off script to crack everyone up and in between takes Vikki decided to try to get him in the second take and that's what she came up with.

I was a little kid in the 70's. So I got to see some of these shows. You are 1000% right. Shows like this are long gone and that's SAD. Carol was and is a COMEDIC GENIUS. She had a incredible cast. Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman, as well as so many amazing guests. Like this skit. Dick Van Dyke. Just epic actors. Top of their craft and just awesome. If and when they did break the 4th wall I was loosing it with them. It was always fun. Carol Burnett was and IS ALWAYS THE BEST.

I was so sad when Harvey left to pursue his own TV show (which failed). It did disrupt the continuity and chemistry, which may also have led to the ultimate demise of the Carol Burnett Show after 11 seasons. Carol admitted in her book that they did not utilize Dick Van Dyke's full potential on the show, and he left before that year had ended. As a teenager, I thought that was a wise casting, but all these years later, I think she was right about not utilizing him enough.

I've never seen Carol put her head into her hands as much as I did in this skit. I've got very little doubt the last part was 100% Classic Tim Conway improv. and the last part at the end with Vicki saying "Are you sure that little a$$hole is through". I have also never seen the entire cast crack up so hard. this show is the epitome of true comedic geniuses. no one will ever be like them.

On top of Tim Conway's brilliant delivery and wit, what really elevates the whole scene are the moments between 18:14 to 19:04. Suddenly, the mood changes, when Eunice realizes that her only two choices are to either be stuck with her overbearing mother and an idiot, or this mooching, boozing, sycophant, and decides she'd rather be with him. "Well at least it's something momma. At least it's something." In those 50 seconds, The sad, desperate look in Carole's eyes, where we see her hopeless resignation, was as full of pathos, drama and emotion as anything uttered by Blanche DuBois in' "A Streetcar Named Desire".

Back in the early 2000s I worked at Beverly Hills Luggage.. Tim Conway was my customer who came in once in a while with his wife.. I'll never forget the first time I met him. He was cracking jokes and his wife, playing the straight man of the comedy team, stops me and says "He thinks he's funny"!! He was a really nice guy and one time when he was in just before Christmas, I heard this gravelly voice to my left while TIm was on my right looking through some things.. I turned and it was Suzanne Pleshette!! Even though the owners at the time were some of the worst people on earth, that place was like working at The Lucy Show sometimes.

And of course, Dick VanDyke would be here for this. Another legend, most underrated just like this cast and show.

My favorite skit. Watch it every night. Tim Conway was a master in his profession ❤

Tim Conway didn’t have to say a word, and I’d be fallin’ outta my chair. 😆😂🤣😂😆🤣

Great tv! Tim was Gold and Vicky knew what to say to get the best laugh!

Classic show...no sex no violence just people living and having fun...thanks

I remember one skit where Carol was in a bubble bath and Lyle (or some man, can't remember who) was in the scene, fixing the plumbing or something. Anyway, it was hilarious, and when all was said and done and the skit was over, Carol stood up and showed the audience that she was wearing a swimsuit and she said they just wanted everyone to know this is a family show and nothing lurid was going on. Absolute total class.

I mean to be fair they did imply that a man was going to bed with an elephant😂 but it would’ve gone over kids heads, so.

I love Carol Burnett! Decades of laughter and I’m still laughing. God bless her.

Carol almost never breaks-up---it was always Harvey---so, to see her work so hard to get control... TOO FUNNY!! Also, for Vicki, of course!!!

😂carol burnett was my favorite show?when i was 7 or 8 years old im 60 years today and when i see these funny episodes it just brings back good momories😅😅😅

Each of these people had comedic genius....Tim Conway was always killer...don't care how many times i watch this, its still hilarious....and its such a joy to see them openly enjoy each other...Mama put us all on the floor....!!

Nothing can beat this skit. Nothing. The build up, the twists and then the bomb shell. This is comedy gold.

I LOVED the Carol Burnett show. I recall seeing (most of) this on TV

Tim about lost it before he even got started 🤣 such a great show

Can you imagine having the ability to make this group fall apart laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

And Vicki was the only one of the four that was not considered a " comic genius " but she had the chops and the timing to destroy them all especially because she stayed in character until the end. classic classic

Classic Comedy Never Gets Old 😂

The Carol Burnett Show was one of the classics. There were so many during that time that were so funny and didn’t need to make fun of anyone.

Yeah that full service skit was hilarious!

We need this brilliant comedy today! Thank you Carol for all the laughs!

When Vicky breaks him hard is the greatest thing!! Tim's laugh!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tim on a tangent was always amazing. I've always wondered if it was true off the cuff stream of consciousness or if he actually had pondered things like the "Siamese elephants" at some point and was just recanting the ridiculous path his brain had meandered. Either way, he had a true knack for comedy that wasn't just funny, but covered in fairy dust that always took a good joke into legendary territory. I was quite young, but I remember watching the Carol Burnett show when I couldn't understand most of the jokes, but found the slapstick side at least as funny as my parents did. I've watched what I can find as an adult and, although it hasn't all aged well, so much still holds water.

Still the funniest outtake ever! Thanks for posting the full scenes. My middle name is Carol, after the one and only. My mom loved her, and raised me watching her. Such an iconic comedienne.

Best scene from Carol Burnett ever.
