The Most Boring Couple EVER! | The Carol Burnett Show Clip

[@janetclaireSays]

Still both here at 98 and 90 years old!

[@cynthiaholland13]

That is so wonderful to hear!!!!

[@englishwithviviana]

Humor is what gives them a long, healthy life.

[@robert9461]

Wow. I knew that about each of them but I didn’t think of it as far as these two people right here. Dick Van Dyke played on the Carol Burnett show a lot. I remember once he was playing a man that Eunice was dating after she and Ed separated.

Dick Van Dyke was always so good at physical comedy! Just a genius!

[@brettbarager9101]

Two of the greatest comedians EVER!

[@maryoleary2037]

Two comic geniuses and not a foul word or putdown of anyone. They don't do comedy like this anymore.

[@shebo7760]

Amen to that.

[@jimc7835]

It's the simple things that made comedy so much better.

[@tomatenpaprika6323]

Still it is the most difficult task

[@LindaHull-le1st]

​@@tomatenpaprika6323yet this seasoned actress and actor made it look so easy. You can't find comedy like that anymore. 😞

[@leahpope8672]

I actually know a couple like this. They are a perfect match. It's very hard to listen to them drone on...but yep, I am glad they found each other!😂

[@arelman]

What a boring comment.

[@rainbowgold6410]

Okay

[@purplebec9112]

I have a friend like this who just talks about things. And once in awhile she'll ask me and her other friends "are you paying attention?" Thats when you really have to make sure you listen even if you dont care. "Sure" I said, not caring at all about the conversation. People they can't control the energy so they have to talk.

[@fyiaustralia9686]

I used to watch the Carol Burnett Show as a kid in the 1970s - one of my favourite parts of childhood. Thanks for the laughs.

[@j1947m]

This is really a brilliant skit......I have known people who keep talking and never stop until they totally get lost and can't pretend to be making a point any longer...

[@amichaels1871]

I met Carol & helped her at a vitamin shop in LA & she was one of the most lovely, kind, humble & gracious people I've ever met. 💖🌠

[@loveenergy4255]

I’ve always dreamed of meeting her! You were so lucky! 😊❤.

[@organist1982]

So many people are exactly like this!!!

[@SN-sz7kw]

Before SNL, there was this. So very brilliant. 💗

[@kathyrice7931]

Boy aren't we glad these were recorded for posterity! Love them both!

[@mrtunapie6653]

Watching the old masters perform will never get boring. Dick still does Halloween decorations and shows at his home and they are a treat for everyone. I just love the man.

[@ranicandrawati2145]

I always like Carol Burnett comedy and never get bored watching them.

[@JohnSmith-un9fy]

This channel always cheers me up. Sometimes with television and music I get a bit depressed with all the junk out there that passes for entertainment. So many great people are gone now. It's like loosing all of my friends. All the values and good times are just memories for me now. It's nice to go back and live them again with these clips. Thanks again for the posts. Love them.

[@JackRiggs-lg2eo]

Exactly my thoughts also. I don't know if we will every reclaim those days or even if possible.

[@tmp1111]

I loved this show pure brilliance and true comedy

[@esthergray2367]

I know a couple just like this. I'm ashamed to say that we avoid them like crazy!

[@5877user]

First time ever seeing this skit. Van Duke was so funny with the body language!!! Both brilliant comedians!! Two boring people boring each other!! We don’t see this anymore.

[@maryc.dalton1284]

Incredible chemistry between these two performers.

[@kathleensullivan4547]

🎉 HAPPY 91ST BIRTHDAY 🎂 🎉 MRS. CAROL BURNETT❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

[@ankavoskuilen1725]

That was not a conversation. It was a battle. Hard to watch but brilliant!

[@5877user]

The body language is hilarious!!

[@judyhalsell9510]

I miss this . Comedy without filth.

[@tomhaskett5161]

I didn't recognize Dick Van Dyke until he opened his mouth! Wonderful costume, makeup and hair. Look at his pants above his ankles, and the necktie not straight.

[@nedraleggett6837]

They are legendary. He was on her show so many times. One of her favorites. She knew good comedy. Love them both.

[@Drnaynay]

He was on the famous elephant skit!!

[@carolynwalker339]

Carol Burnett had oneof the best shows on TV. We never missed it. Also Dick and Mary Tyler Moore ! Great shows!!

[@h.l.asolomonov7674]

They are not boring they have no social skills especially Bitsy 😂

[@amypetra5021]

They are A MA ZING! Aren’t they?? I miss this show…:/

[@jedispaz2002]

These two are so talented!!! I love these two!!

[@janetclaireSays]

I have a relative who talks just like her. I have been on the receiving end of this conversation many times!

[@billk9856]

Just beautiful work by two of the greats.

Yes, being self-absorbed does make a person boring!

[@faiora]

But allowing other people to indulge their self-absorption makes a person interesting! Heh.

[@RevLeigh55]

It’s not self-absorbed. Its insecurity.

[@bigbadbillb]

This is genius! I started cracking up before either of them said a word!

[@stevenchrisco4641]

So good!!! 👍😁

[@MelissaThompson432]

I don't remember this skit. It's hilarious!

[@anhpam9205]

Wonderful to see two of the greatest. Long life, in good health, to both!

[@TheKoolbraider]

They both sit the same way on the bench. Great attention to detail, and very funny.

[@hamsterdiving7593]

This reminds me of the Walter Matthau/Elaine May movie, "A New Leaf" from 1971, lol Love these two ❤

[@geoffreypiltz271]

Just the way they both move and gesture is funny.

[@americanitalianisrael4008]

Dick Van Dyke is a Superb Comedian and Superb Dramatic Actor. Burnett too. Classic Superb Show.

[@AllAmericanJock]

They really are brilliant actors.

[@aislinndeweston4140]

Oh wow Carol Burnett really is a princess I mean for real in real life she comes from the kings and queens of England and France

[@kathyingram3061]

~Really?!?~I never knew that?!~I remember her Grandmother raised her, cuz her Mom was too much into alcoholism?~

He was so handsome even then. His dimples showing when he smiles.

[@sookie4195]

I always watched Carol Burnett with my dad and mom. I believe I watch it more now and appreciate it more than I did even then.

[@JackRiggs-lg2eo]

ABSOLUTELY.....my favorite sketch that was ever broadcasted on The Carol Burnet Show.

[@drumbum3.142]

It's Funny how Van Dyke here reminds me in look of Jerry Lewis - -- from this Exact Same Show of a completely different episode (!) 😅😂😅😅😅

[@carolalexander1429]

Well, for heaven’s sakes! This is exactly us.

This reminds me of, the person in a zoom mettings that talks to much. lol

Love Carol, Dick Van Dyke, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman...

[@5877user]

Great comedians!!

[@kimberlyc84]

I actually came here because I got so tired of all the true crime podcasts that I had queued up. I just need some laughter from real talent. These brought back such wonderful memories of mum & me doing each other's toenails back in the early '70s. Monday nights were the best start to the week! 🥰

Comedy has lost so much lately. Not just the dialogue but the facial features were so much better back then.

I always thought Carol was so pretty!

[@aislinndeweston4140]

A lot of younger people probably don't realize but the Way Carol Burnett was positioning her legs was hilarious at that time. Back in the 70s a lot more women wore dresses and skirts and not keeping your legs close together was considered janky, sloppy

I let this couple at a bus stop in Iowa. One was talking about missing a deadline for school, the other was going on about an interaction in a workplace. They seemed to think they were in a conversation although they were conversing different topics. Either way, they were meant to be and I hope they ended up together! 😅

[@RangerMan-yv7rl]

Yeah. A classic

[@Lyndaragirl78]

I think it would be extremely HILARIOUS if Ann Hathaway (as Mia Thermopolous) did Betsy’s part as a re- creation, especially when she talks about being a Princess!!! I don’t know who the guy would be, but I’m sure there is a guy out there that could play this part very well!!!! Ha. If he were still alive, the guy who played Napoleon Dynamite comes to mind!

[@patriciaegan7244]

[@heatherowl]

So interesting how many of the “oddballs” and “awkward nerds” of past comedy are so clearly riffing on behaviors of the autism spectrum. I don’t believe in “problematicizing” past media at all, I think it gives great cultural history in context, but I’m glad there’s more appreciation for ASD folks these days.

Van Dyke was supposed to take Harvey Korman's place. Two different comic styles and lord knows they tried but it didn't work. This was one of the better skits.

What year was this? I hate when they don't give the dates on the videos.
