Reaction to The Carol Burnett Show The Dentist 

No funnier two actors ever than Tim Conway and Harvey Korman together.

Tim Conway died in 2019. He was one of America's funniest comedians.

The fact that he peed himself laughing is probably the greatest compliment to a comedian .

The Gone With The Wind spoof is, IMHO, one of the best routines they ever did. What a classic scene with the curtains...nuff.said.

Carol Burnett Show...A National Treasure! All these years later, it NEVER gets old.

What you have to remember is that this is live audience and there is no breaking away. They are truly hilarious together.

Tim Conway never failed at making Harvey Korman, Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence bust up laughing lol. Especially when they did the Mama's Family skits

Carol said they'd make bets not on if Tim would get Harvey laughing, but how quickly Tim could crack him up. Lol

I loved the late, great Tim Conway. Tim would not tell the cast what he planned to do in his sketches.

I remember watching this episode while spending the night with my Grandparents. We laughed so hard at this skit, and what makes it so funny is Harvey Korman trying his hardest not to laugh! They had some of the best shows on the air back in the day!

Harvey confessed in an interview that he hadn't gone to the bathroom before this sketch and he regretted it because Tim had him laughing so hard he actually pissed himself a bit. I thought that was funnier than the actual sketch because Tim knew that he was running late, hadn't had time to pee before taping and he went all out to get him to lose it. you'll notice when Tim drops to one knee Harvey has to cross his legs.

There were many great moments like this from this show. Tim Conway was on a mission to do something in every skit to get his co-stars to crack up. It still stands as the funniest show before or since.

LOVE Tim Conway and Harvey together ♥️ They gave me so many laughs. 😂😂😂

Yeah...the best part of the Carol Burnett shoe was them cracking each other up...ESPECIALLY these two! 😂👍🏻❤️

Tim Conway when he's the old man. OMG

The story behind The Dentist, is that Tim Conway was in the Military, and he got a doctor just like the dentist and so he based his character on the memory of that doctor of his past.

The whole show, all the seasons are unbelievably funny

It is never a question of "if" Harvey will break. The question is, when will Harvey break... And when he does, it is glorious!

This is one of my favorite skits of theirs, lol, also look at the one with Tim Conway and the elephant story, too hilarious. Back when comedy was good

Carol often said that when Tim knew he got ya.... he went in like a cat after a mouse. And face it, when Tim was around, Harvey was the WORST straight man on television!

Definitely the elephant story! Only Vickie Lawrance was able to keep any kind of a straight face. And she was the one to get the last laugh.

This is comedic GENIUS!!!!! LOL. Two well loved and well treasured actors who are forever with us. R.I.P. Gentlemen. You're never gonna stop making us laugh.

Oh you HAVE TO do The Elephant Story.

Harvey trying not to laugh in these shows is always the BEST part!!!!

Tim always destroyed Harvey in every sketch they were in together. Rest in peace Tim and Harvey.

The goal Tim had was to go off script and make his other actors crack up and no be able to stay in character

They were live and improv’d almost everything

Mama's Family, the Siamese Elephant story. If you don't laugh at that, you're not breathing.

The dentist scene was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen!!!

I never missed a week watching Tim trying to make Harvey laugh... there are tons of great skits over the years ! 😂😃😅😃😂 Tom is genus with physical comedy ! Thank you for the video !

Carol Burnett's show used to be a live show filmed with an audience.Tim Conway used to do ad-lib stuff and no one would expect it until he did it and he had a dry sense of humor and did them straight-faced too.

Tim Conway (dentist) always did the rehearsals exactly as the script was written, During the live shows, he would purposely go off script. They never knew what was heading their way but still tried to stay in character.

Often Tim Conway would rehearse one way, then he'd surprise either Carol or Harvey. Tim and Harvey's skits always made my day because there were so many where Harvey just couldn't keep it together.

I saw a few others in the comments suggest the elephant story bloopers from The Carol Burnett Show. None of the actors knew what Tim was going to do so the ending of it is just hilarious.

When those two were doing a skit together it was to be expected that Tim would break Harvey up. It was hard to stay in character when Tim was involved. It was a live in front of a studio audience and they never did retakes. What people saw on TV every week was raw.

Tim Conway was a fantastic member of the Carol Burnett show, he had fantastic delivery in so many skits. But when they paired him in movies with Don Knotts, he got even better. Those two were a total riot in movies like "The Hole In The Wall Gang". Magic, pure magic.

I still laugh so much when I see this skit. The elephant skit story is another to watch.🤣🤣🤣

When they rehearsed Tim Conway said one thing -- but when they went in front of the live audience, they had no idea what he would do -- it was always off the cuff and utterly hilarious.

You have to remember this was live TV and supposably Harvey Korman pissed himself from laughing too hard LOL

The Novocain bit definitely made the sketch. I just love that when his hand was dead and his leg gave out his thought wasn’t to stop but instead to drag out a chair and continue 😂

Well...the Gone with the WInd skit IS the classic of all time...

The Carol Burnett Show is one of my all-time favorite comedy show.😂😂😂😂

Tim Conway was perhaps the best physical comedian of all time. Certainly one of the best ad libbers and able to crack people up without trying! Loved him in McHale's Navy, and later the Apple Dumpling Gang with the great Don Knotts. The best thing is that he was as sweet and genuine in real life, if not more, as he was on the screen, and lived his Christian life as close as he could. There were MANY running gags of his on the Carol Burnette Show, the best one is his infamous "Koala" running gag that would bust everyone up. At one point, Carol Burnette actually got him with his own gag! Then there is the truly infamous "Mamma's Family" skit where he went overboard, got everyone laughing so hard they couldn't keep going, except for Vikki Lawrence, who was straigh faced till the end when she got him back so hard he fell on the floor laughing! They don't make comedy like that anymore, with non-swearing, family friendly stuff. There is a reason why guys like him are considered legends.

If I'm not mistaken, a lot of this skit was ad libbed. One of the best.

Carol Burnett Show was great especially when Tim Conway had everyone laughing historically in theaudience! It's amazing how anyone on the show managed to recompose themselves and finish their skits.

Oh. My. Gosh. The Carol Burnett show was one of my all time favorites growing up! ❤️❤️❤️

The Tim Conway elephant story is the best!!! Absolutely hilarious!

This was hands down completely hilarious. Tim Conway was such a great commedian. I think you should see a scene of him and Carol Burnett when she does Mrs Whiggens and he is her boss. Those 2 together make a great comedy team and then put Harvey Corman in there, your sides will hurt. Also you should check out Flipp Wikson when he does his Geraldine skit. Omg we had the best tv shows back then. And they were all done in front of a live audience so there was no way they could do a retake.

This is the absolute funniest comedy skit I've ever seen! I've watched it hundreds of times and it never gets old. True comedy. My boys also watch it. So funny. Where he swatted the fly, absolutely hysterical.

Watched Carol Burnett at my grandparents house every week. So many funny skits. One of the best was her take on Gone with the Wind. Hilarious!

Harvey Korman & Tim Conway they were the Dynamic Duo of Comedy from The Carol Burnett Show. Great laughter N just plain funny.

The Carol Burnett Show is one we used to watch as a family back when I was a kid in the 70s. This show is as funny now as it was back then. Which is a testament to the talent involved. I remember my parents and my sister and myself laughing SO hard. Especially when Tim would make Harvey laugh during the skits.

I remember this show. I was still a kid but I watched it with my mom. This one is a classic! It's funny no matter how many times you watch it. I went to the dentist two days ago, but it wasn't as fun.

When you're watching old school, you have to remember that the writers and the actors took time to set up the sketch. It may seem like it takes to long, but to those of us who grew up with it, we just sort of accepted it...learn about the characters and the premise and then get ready for it to take off.

They did a parody of “Gone With the Wind” that is hilarious. I think the title is “Went With the Wind”

Tim Conway was constantly making Harvey and the other cast members crack up while filming. The producers gave him a lot of leeway to improvise and he didn't disappoint!

The very best stuff are the BLOOPERS! Usually, it was Tim going off script and slaying all the others.

Tim Conway was outrageous. On the Carole Burnett show he improvised so even the cast didnt always know what to expect from Tim.

This is one of the greatest comedy duos of all time. Together they can kill people with their laughter.

The story goes on this one Korman was laughing so hard he literally pissed his pants.

The great thing about The Carol Burnett Show was that it was live originally. It caught all the slips, all the times they couldn't keep straight faces. A real classic.

Funny lol -- the patient cracked me up -trying not to 👍👍👍😂😂😂💙💙

Never get tired of seeing this skit😂

I saw this as a child when it was first shown! Love Carol and her show!!! It was hilarious!!!

One of the great things about this show is that the cast makes it their mission to try to make eachother laugh.

There is a GREAT one where Harvry and Tim are boarding an airplane where one is riding in first class and one is in coach. One of my favs!

I WANT TO THANK YOU for uploading the full skit. too often, we dont get to see it in its entirety. god bless, sir!

Tim always said his whole goal in every sketch was getting Harvey and other cast members to break character and laugh during the sketch.

Conway and Korman,were treasures. Good clean,for the most part, comedy skits on Carol Burnett s really popular show. Memories are great!

Tim Conway's sole purpose in life was to get the rest of the cast to break character and laugh. He was a genius!

A lot of times Tim Conway would adlib and have the whole cast cracking up. They never knew what he was going to come up with.

The second funniest sketch ever. The first... the elephant sketch! And you’re right, the funniest part of watching the Carol Burnett Show was watching Conway and Korman, and others try to make each other laugh and their attempts not to break character.

Ty…Harvey Korman was laughing because Tim Conway ADLIBS LIKE CRAZY!!!! They NEVER know what he will do next! That was the one show I was allowed to stay up late on Saturday nights and it was MAGICAL!!!!! Conway NEVER stuck to the script! His adlibs are IMMORTAL! One of the best comedians EVER!!!!

Tim always made Harvey laughed!! Love The Carol Burnett Show!!

That was the BEST part of that show - watching them try to crack each other up on camera.

Tim lived to crack Harvey up ! he said what he was proudest of in this sketch ( because he never did them the same way twice ) was that he made Harvey wet his pants...lol

They had a standing challenge among the cast of the Carol Burnett show. It was to see who could crack up the other actors and make them break character. Tim could crack up the rest of the cast just about every time!

Great to see Tim hit the younger generation, I remember as a kid him and his family had a cottage by us and fire stories he told were just as funny. Never had a cus word in the stories so all of us kids would sit there and listen die laughing. I think his son has the place still. RIP Tim you are missed.

The old variety shows were awesome and Carol Burnett was great. Loved Tim Conway!

This is a classic slow burn. These always start slow, but if you just wait a bit..... Tim as his "old man" character is absolutely wonderful.

I grew up watching this with my grandparents. I laughed until I cried then, and still do. I agree with you, it becomes funnier when the actors start laughing too.

I grew up watching the Carol Burnett Show. There used to be a number of "variety" shows back in the day.

Tim Conway was hilarious and always made the others in the skits laugh. Loved watching him.

Classic. Yes, there were many skits with the two of them where Harvey would lose it... and it definitely made it funnier. The whole Carol Burnett Show cast were so comically talented which made it one of the greatest shows of all time. RIP to both of them... I think TIm Conway went in the last couple of years.

You need to see Flip Wilson’s Geraldine character too.

The greatest joy in these skits was not the skit, themselves. It was always knowing that Tim was going to go out of his way to crack everyone up...of course the audience... but also his co-stars. Watching them break character and burst out laughing was the BEST, FUNNIEST thing ever. Comedy gold like this can never be duplicated. Enjoy the Elephant story from Mamas Family. Mama’s comment at the end was unscripted and added greatly to the disaster Tim created for the rest of them. RIP Tim Conway, you always made me laugh.

Oh, Lort. I’m watching now, but this is ABSOLUTELY hilarious. Tim did a lot of ad lib’g and his antics rendered his acting partners helpless.

Tim Conway was the king of improv! He went off script and ad-libbed so often that even the cast could not keep a straight face sometimes.

No matter how many times I've watched that clip, it never fails to crack me up!

They were an awesome duo. Some of my favorites from that show with Tim and Harvey are the Gone with the Wind skit (makes more sense if you've seen that movie), the dry cleaners skit (Harvey as Funt, Tim as dresser), the JOWLS parody (again, helps if you've seen JAWS), and anything to do with the Mrs. Wiggins character. That should keep you busy a while!

I have watched this many times on other tv stations but never enjoyed it more than watching it with you and watching you also enjoy these two comedians.

This skit was pretty infamous of being one of the funniest on The Carol Burnett Show. This one, The Elephant Story and The Gone With The Wind skit. Tim Conway, the actor playing the dentist, was always trying to make Harvey Korman, the one playing the patient, laugh whenever they did their skits. Harvey Korman had supposedly said that for this skit, he laughed so hard that he peed himself a little.

This is what made the show so funny, they would all be cracking up live and there's nothing funnier than people doing funny things trying not to laugh!

I LOVE The Carol Burnett Show and this has to be my absolute favorite skit!!

This was a comedy my generation enjoyed back then. Harvey and Tim were an awesome pair.

Just FWIW, you have a beautiful smile and a wonderful laugh. Thanks for brightening my evening.

Tim Conway had a habit of improvising during these skits and would always catch Harvey and Carol off guard. He will be missed.

I live for watching Tim make Harvey break character! 🤣

I used to watch this as a kid. I loved Eunice and Momma. I remember being on a bus one time and my teenage neighbor and her friend came on the bus dressed up as Eunice and Momma. They didn’t break character, it was the funniest thing ever. This was a funny skit show which was made funnier because they could never keep straight faces. I loved the end when Carol would take questions from the audience.

This is one of the earlier shows. As the years went by the skits and their adlib lines got to the point that even the actors would loose it. The skits that started when Vicki Lawrence was "Mama" were the best.
