40+ years later and this skit is still true about the airline industry.

[@TVY2013]

With airplanes dealing with loose bolts, wheels coming off etc. of late -- ain't that the truth!

No, those seats are too wide and the leg room is too spacious.

Dang! I think the airlines watched this and thought it was the model for the future. 😂

[@northernsnow6982]

Model for the future? You realize this skit was done because of things already happening, don't you? That means they modeled their business like that first, to get the show to make fun of them in the first place.

[@matthew8153]

@@northernsnow6982 Yet the show was supposed to be taking things to an illogical extreme. Today, those big seats in the no-frills section are unheard of.

[@northernsnow6982]

@@matthew8153 OK. The airlines still didn't model any of their business ideas, from this sketch. I mean, they all still have seat belts, the overhead compartment isn't actually used to store plane parts, they don't have turbulence just for the cheap section, and they didn't get shrinking the seats idea from this clip either, as you've pointed out. So no they didn't model their seat sizes, or any of their business model, according to this comedy show. Thank you for explaining to me, what the Carol Burnett Show was all about. I didn't understand the concept until just now, thanks to your utmost genius brain, and your willingness to share your knowledge from it. I thought she was hosting a news program, for these last 40+ years of knowing the show. Bahaha 🤣

I had the privilege of meeting Tim when I was manager of a steakhouse in NYC. I told him i wanted to compliment him on something I was sure he never heard often. He tried to make a joke and his wife told him to shut up and listen to what I wanted to say. I told him that the skit when he fell down the stairs in slow motion was an incredible athletic accomplishment. His face and eye's lit up and he obviously didn't expect that. If you watch and think about it he was an amazing athlete and obviously a comedian beyond belief.

[@Jolene-iy8tw]

Shut up? That is not nice.

[@michelemoneywell8765]

Great story, and good point that Tim Conway was athletic. Thanks for sharing.

[@ruth4489]

Carol Burnett was a true prophet in this skit. We literally have planes falling apart today that were made in the 60s. And the stewardesses really are this rude. Only when flying internationally do I get 4 hot meals the whole flight, free ear phones, blankets and socks, and they tell me what to do in 6 languages. Flying in America, God help you. And I am American, thats whats so crazy!!

[@henrybucholtz8430]

Yes

Tim Conway was very underrated in his time. He was a comedic genius, especially when it came to physical comedy, and he was at his absolute peak when teamed with Harvey Korman. RIP Mr. Conway.

[@gaypatterson4446]

He was not underrated. He was a legend then, as he is now.

[@user-ty6do8yz4l]

I also LOVED Conway with Don Knotts, in The Apple Dumpling Gang! That was actually my introduction to them both, as an early 70s kid! However, this show was already an institution, so I eventually figured out it was the same guy.

[@frasermackenzie7275]

@dwillifredbolden1: I was born in 1968. Everything was better in the 70's even if the economy was not. We found humor in everything. Race, homophobia, misogynistic, bigotry....we laughed at each other and no one really took any of that stuff seriously nor personally (I recommend watching an early DVD of "Blazing Saddles"...if you can find one that cancel culture missed). There was no better time to be a kid than the mid to late 1970's. I'm sorry you missed out on that. However, history tends to repeat itself so don't give up yet!

I was on a Continental flight a few years back. There was a passive aggressive flight attendant who hilariously treated us passengers like annoying shits. When I mentioned my pre-ordered vegetarian meal had meat on the plate she just grabbed the flat slab of meat and shoved it in her pocket. Her finale was slinging warm wet towels over peoples' heads with such accuracy they landed on faces. Bald heads were a definite target. I actually heard her tell a man off for being tall - his legs were stuck out in the aisle. She told him to fly with a better airline and not be a cheapskate, that way he would get more leg room.
