My dad was a U.S. Army Ranger in WWII, often behind enemy lines. To be honest I think he had PTSD, but it wasn't called that back then. He didn't like to talk about the war, but when he saw this sketch when it first aired he almost fell out of his chair laughing. I like to think that he's up in heaven shaking Tim Conway's hand right now. RIP Dad and Tim.

I Believe the term was called "Shell Shock". Being born in 71, my family would watch this show every chance they had. The golden age of comedy, which also seems to be a lost art. Comedy today is anything but what once was.

Lyle didn’t know the puppet was coming. The look of “Wtf?” on his face is genuine, him hitting back the puppet is improv, all of it.

As soon as Conway saw them start to crack, he’d get that gleam in his eye like I’ve got them now. I give Lyle credit for lasting as long as he did, but as soon as Tim took out the “club”, he was a goner. I think they had to keep the camera on them because if they switched to Harvey, you’d have seen him cracking up for sure. Absolute comedic genius was Tim Conway- like Robin Williams, he could simply be funny at any second

I saw Tim Conway and Tom Poston in a play in Dallas. After the show, they came out to talk to the audience. In the middle of talking about how much he likes doing this play (which he wrote), Conway suddenly says, “Of course, if Carol calls, I’m out of here.” And Tom Poston follows with, “Yeah, if Bob (Newhart) calls me…” I think those lines got a bigger laugh than anything in the actual play.

I know. He has an almost stunned look at first like, "Is this really happening right now? Does Tim really have a Hitler puppet? Where the hell is he taking this?? Damn you, Conway!" But it's the mumbling singing that does it. Hilarious!

[@minerdad02]

Erik Blankenship never knew that,thanks,apparently Tim did this often?

[@dkeith15]

Tim did stuff like that constantly on the show. I don't think there were many skits where he didn't go off script. The 'elephant story' was probably the best of them all. It was completely made up on the spot. Even when he or Harvey won Emmy awards, it was off the cuff and hilarious.

[@TheAssassin1717]

Tim Conway in my opinion is the best comedian ever. his improve is the best

[@GreenDay1981]

+short step It's like with the skit where he's a civil war officer drumming out Harvey's character and he uses the Tudball accent for the first time. Harvey starts laughing cause I don't think Tim was told to do an accent.

[@gregoryeatroff8608]

Farewell, sweet Lyle Waggoner, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. It's not easy to share a stage with comedians of this caliber, but you filled your straight man part well.

[@davehue9517]

One of the most hilarious comic sketches ever... hilarious

[@ElAviadorNegro]

Remembering Tim Conway (1933-2019). Sketch comedian extraordinaire.

Remember, Tim Conway improvised that whole Hitler puppet thing and ad-libbed. True comedy. RIP.

[@bunkertons]

When he pulled out the puppet, I died!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@nakiagonzalez3560]

Tim had me in stitches. There will never be another like him.

[@leahjustleah7824]

I have seen this like 1000s time and I still laugh hard!!

[@jennilang721]

Lyle was a tough nut to crack, so when he did it was awesome lols!!!😄😄😄👍

[@necnec5962]

I was saddened to hear this morning that Tim Conway had passed away. I immediately thought of this skit and went looking for it online. It's one of the few comedy routines I can remember seeing on TV during my childhood. It's as hysterical as I remember. Thanks, Tim. Looking forward to hearing someday how you made St. Peter crack up when you arrived. Rest in peace.

[@user-uw9rf8xz2i]

This was when TV was good TV shows like this. We're awesome, gotta love the show. Gotta love Carol Burnett.

[@MrDFJohnson]

Howlingly funny and creative. And with no need for vulgarity and crassness. Korman and Conway were a team that played off each other so well that they created timeless comedy moments that will be howlingly funny 100 years from now

[@tridentdiving4040]

Tim Conway made Hitler funny. RIP, sir, the world will not see your like again.

[@jeffking4176]

Trident Diving Only a true comedic genius can pull it off.🙂

[@catswalkjpgr]

That is the truth!

[@zacredman9137]

And that's really hard to do!😂👍

[@updfdrakkell143]

I grew up on the dwarf videos Tim made. I wonder how many holes they had to dig for him lol

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

The look on Lyle's face when he sees the puppet and shoots a WTF? look at Harvey is the best!!

[@michellepost5232]

I remember that skit when new. I am glad I was able to watch every ep from the first season to the last season.I was a child when it premiered, and in high school when it ended. My whole family watched it. It was hilarious, more so with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman on it. Carol's talk with the audience at the beginning of each ep was nice, too. The whole cast was nice to the studio audience.

[@Camop-iz9kt]

Farewell Lyle Waggoner. 1935-2020. You put up with a lot, for sure.

[@sleepCircle]

it was the timing in "someone's in the kitchen with dinah" that killed. the little pauses between each line of the song turned it from amusing to REALLY funny. and then at the end of each verse there are these horrible, slightly-too-long extra moments of silence before the next verse inevitably grinds into motion, that make it MURDEROUSLY HILARIOUS.

[@dkeith15]

Tim Conway has perfect timing. I love how his goal is to make the rest break out laughing.

[@Starwithnonname]

You are so right. I remember watching a doco years ago on Dean Martin and when he and Frank Sinatra were doing a double act on stage, Frank later complained to Dean that Dean got the funnier lines, to which Dean said only he could do them because Frank "wasn't funny". Frank convinced him to swap roles for the following performance and lo and behold, hardly anyone laughed. Dean said comedy is not so much in the material, but much more about timing and delivery. You nailed it with the slightly longer pauses in between the lines - the slight suspense they generated made the next line so much funnier. What a comic genius.

[@OpRaven-62]

sleepCircle, Tim Conway is my most favorite actor and comedian!

[@Perktube1]

Well put.

[@Chericherry4]

Lyle thinking: okay...breathe....I got this......NOOOOOO...HE'S GOING TO SING ANOTHER VERSE!

[@lonmcq7317]

When Conway knows he's got them, it really gets hysterical...great stuff!!

[@janinehietala5487]

[@johnstitt2615]

jim petrie yes.....wonderfully without mercy in regards to Harvey Kormann

[@pastelspring]

How Lyle kept a straight face is beyond me,! Pure comedic genius

[@robertwilliams060]

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

[@shalexiadavis1378]

As a baby boomer, this episode never gets old with me (along with the "Gone with the Wind" skit).

[@bwsmyhero]

Yes, “Went With the Wind” is probably my favorite Carol Burnett Show skit!

[@darylbrunscheen5667]

This sketch is the ONLY time, Tim was able to make Lyle break up!!! Such a classic sketch!!!

[@Imapeach1]

Lyle simply COULD NOT hold it in anymore,LOL!!! he was dying with laughter....and we all know that Tim was not going to give up until Lyle lost it,as he SO clearly did. Tim Conway is the master at comedy ad lib,there's no one better;his timing is impeccable....I've always been certain that the entire puppet bit was ad lib by Tim,(as was his"elephant story" in another episode)and that neither Lyle nor Harvey knew what was coming. Sheer Brilliance! :)

[@christopherbove1148]

Imapeach1 Don Knotts and Tim Conway were both great.zThe Apple Dumplin' Gang always cracked me up.

[@TheAlex1962]

Mr Conway your genius will be remembered forever.

[@gartmanxxx]

Sadly they are all gone now. But never forgotten. God bless them.

[@sailorarwen6101]

This show was 100x better than SNL. True, brilliant comedy

[@selfan4evr]

Allison Holly Definately! SNL hasn't really been all that funny since the days of John Belushi and Eddie Murphy. These days, there's too much politics on "comedy" shows, and not enough that's really funny, in a traditional way. Not much that's really creative, like this skit, which was hilarious.

[@vanzettamorgan5040]

Allison Holly yes it is. Still love it today.

[@henrysoto7702]

That's because they did'nt have to resort to satirizing politics to be funny. Their writers and cast were a lot more talented than the present day SNL staff.

[@dildonius]

Henry Soto the fuck are you talking about? SNL has been satirizing politics since season one. Dipshit stooges like you are only bitching about it now because you cant handle being the butt of the joke.

[@dildonius]

Roger Warith SNLs ratings have consistently been higher than they've been in a good long while, and CNN is in no way "promoting" the show. Are you sure you know what that word means? Also, having the last name "Soto" has nothing to do with one's political views so idk what point you thought you were making there either. And you also managed to ignore the entire point here, which is that SNL has satirized American politics since season ONE! Maybe even EPISODE one. No one has bitched and cried about it over the last FORTY-TWO YEARS as hard as these babies have been crying since 2015. And so the only reason this could possibly be is that Trump's little cult simply can NOT handle being made fun of and have an autistic MELTDOWN whenever the Dear Leader is made fun of. Politics and comedy have been intertwined for decades. Get over it, ya whiny dipshit.

[@movieman1556]

Ive watched this dozens of times. When the singing starts I still get tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Classic skit. Miss you Mr Conway. You were special.

[@SonofDavid0814]

A classic scene! Still funny after all these years! RIP Lyle Waggoner!

[@lissalives1]

All 3 are in comedy heaven now. R.I.P., TIM, LYLE and HARVEY. ♥️
