    The Carol Burnett Show was the last of the greatest variety shows on television. Fantastic cast, fantastic show! Wish it could be brought back!

    That elephant sketch is STILL one of the funniest things I have seen in my life, and Vicki's line was killer! Wonderful!!!

    I loved that skit! Viki Lawrence's jab set off that explosion of laughter!

    I've always loved Vicki Lawrence... I had a crush on her when I was about 8 years old when this show was on tv!

    Tim was absoutely at the top of his game during that period but Vicky did indeed get him good with that one!

    That was one of the best Classics on T.V. history. I can see that sketch a thousand times and I steel laugh like the first time. Please bring back that good T.V.

    it is, by far, one of the funniest bits in tv history. I remember watching the show as a kid and loved it, watching the elephant story cracks me up, every time.

    Vicki looks great! And such a treat to hear from one that was there and
    to relate to us here...fun! thanks for sharing!

    I loved Tim Conway. I loved how Harvey Korman was physically incapable of getting through a Conway sketch without laughing. The dentist sketch was like that too. If Conway was involved more than likely someone else would have to leave the scene.

    Comedy pieces like this make me wish I had been old enough to know when it aired. Some of the sketches of the past, before my time, are some of the funniest things I've ever seen.

    I once saw Carrol Burnett tell how "Tim Conway would do rehearsals perfectly, but then when the cameras were on, it was his job to destroy us all!"

    She was terrific on CB and great on Momma's Family.

    Vickie Lawrence is one of my favorite Canadians. She absolutely nailed it that time. Good on you, Momma!

    No, Tim Conway doing that is what made the show legendary. His line about the Siamese elephants sneezing in that sketch was one of the funniest things ever on TV.

    I watch that blooper every few months when I need a spiritual lift. It is without a doubt one of the funniest moments in TV history and the reaction of the cast to Vickie's comment is totally priceless.

    Calling it a blooper is a bit of a misnomer. The bomb Vicki dropped was quite deliberate. And one of the funniest moments in TV history.

    I saw this when it aired the first time. It was the first time I ever heard a 'dirty word' on TV.
    I was positive Dick Van Dyke was trying NOT to pee in his pants even at that young age.
    That act will forever be one of the funniest if not THE funniest moments in the history of film.

  • @elc1960
    @elc1960 11 років тому +41

    The clip was aired on, as Vicki says here, "Dick Clark's Bloopers and Practical Jokes". But it also aired on a Carol Burnett retrospective show, which included several outtakes.

  • @MrVidaeverdade
    @MrVidaeverdade 11 років тому +69

    Why does the title refer to this as an "infamous" blooper? That was one of the most memorable moments ever, in a good way. People love it; it's one of the most hilarious moments ever. There was no controversy about it. Just because they bleeped a word does that make it "infamous"? Just from the comments here, it's obvious people LOVE it. Infamous is a bad choice of words.

  • @velcroman11
    @velcroman11 8 років тому +877

    What Viki said is the REAL punch line to the Elephant story. Tim built up SO MUCH tension with the story. If Viki had said nothing, I think the whole sketch would have flopped. What Viki said was totally inspired!

  • @senorkaboom
    @senorkaboom 9 років тому +663

    Thinking about it, Tim did the perfect set up for Vicki's comment. That long, convoluted elephant story and Burnett's reaction to it just created the situation that Vicki's character, Mama, needed to add one of the greatest punchlines in comedy.

    This group on this show was absolutely the BEST thing on TV. We never see anything funny like this any more. Everything now is filled with sex, and is filthy and not funny.
    I just love going over all these videos on youtube from the Carol Burnett Show. Much better than watching TV.

  • @moproducer
    @moproducer 11 років тому +71

    I remember very vividly when the episode aired. Looking at the footage now, they did some very clever editing, because there were no bleeps or bleep-ables. I recall laughing myself to tears when Tim did the line about the elephants not being able to trumpet, just say "norkey".

  • @MaereMaid
    @MaereMaid 11 років тому +323

    One of the funniest scenes in television EVER. Tim Conway was genius at improv. To watch other professionals laugh at his stuff meant even more.
    The "*thnnnort* Juslikedat." thing STILL kills me, and it has been a loooooooooong time since it first airs. It's right up there with Betty Whyte's Herring Circus story, and Niles Craine's Ironing His Pants sketch (from Fraiser).

    You mean she went off script? After a rehearsal? Wow. I never watched the Carol Burnett show all those years. It was always so poorly written, it looked like they were making it up as it went along with forced laughter.
