*TRY NOT TO LAUGH CHALLENGE* Tim Conway's The Dentist REACTION!

[@mariesimpson4182]

One of the best teams in comedy! The Elephant Story is even better.

[@crystalryan3520]

Absolutely!

[@DonBroyles73]

I just said the same thing.Hilarious!

[@kathynorris1332]

Oh my God yes the elephant story oh so hilarious

[@bflandragon90]

I was just going to suggest this.

[@rw4487]

I heard somewhere recently Harvey Korman wet himself laughing so much in this scene . Please do the elephant story!!!

[@kimberlinibambini1968]

This was a staple show in the 70’s when TV was still “real” acting! We looked forward to the Carol Burnett Show! They play different characters and skits throughout the show- With famous skits, well remembered ones like this one- A LOT was improv.. And Tim Conway would constantly crack ‘em up and make them fall outta‘ character- which always made it even funnier! Great cast of folks! Please do more of the Carol Burnett Show- The Elephant Story is from a skit they did here called Mama’s Family. It was so loved that it became its own spin off show cuz people couldn’t get enough of the skits here- 💛🤘🏼✌️

[@jeremiahandmaggiegutierrez3261]

Tim’s goal on the show was to break Harvey. Those are the best highlights.

[@stevedrums1675]

Tim Conway and Harvey Korman were deep, deep buddies personally and it was Tim's sole mission in life to make Harvey break character on the night's of these shows. Carole Burnett has said that Tim would stick to the script during the first dress rehearsal so they had a "good" copy of the scene but then totally riff during the airing of the show. These two were absolute gold.

[@DonBroyles73]

Harvey said that Tim actually made him wet himself in this skit.

[@DonBroyles73]

Billy,if you get a chance look up Tim's story about the circus elephants.

[@rondag.3761]

I was going to post the same thing! They both did do much improv that the others had no idea what they would get from them during a skit. I loved watching The Carol Burnett Show!

Went with the Wind and Tim Conway's Interrogation skit are also fantastic.

[@madcapmagician6018]

billy, the thing about this show was it was done live...in front of n audience , and the cast of this show... aka The Carol Burnnet Show always always tried to make each other lose it on camera. funnny stuff =)

[@LegitGamer21]

And I think if I heard right Conway always if not almost always did impromptu stuff so that the other members didn't know what he was gonna do until he did it lol

[@MrSoaringphoenix]

If you liked this one, you will love the " The Elephant story". With Tim Conway, Carol Burnett.

[@TitanicTruths]

Harvey Corman and Tim Conway were iconic. Harvey could NEVER hold it together with Tim. Every skit they broke. This one made Harvey pee himself he was laughing so much

[@deannacrownover3]

The Carroll Burnett Show was full of skits like these. Tim would always go out of his way to see if hen could get everyone else to break character. So many skits ended up being not only hysterically funny, but timeless as well.

[@michaelmacdonald334]

I've seen this many a time, and it remains just as funny as the first time.

[@createful_heart]

Oh my gosh, Billy! The looks you give the camera are cracking me up!! I've seen this bit before, but your reactions are a riot.

[@LadyMaeghan]

Tim was known for not doing the same thing during rehearsals as he did during live audiences. NO ONE knew what he was going to do!

[@bri281]

So Harvey (playing the patient) didn't show up to rehearsal very often so he would crack up every time he was in a skit, and Time Conway would make it his mission to make him laugh.

[@nanjohnson2196]

This was one of the best variety shows in the 60’s and 70’s. You can’t find one today to match it. Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, Carol Burnett and Vickie Lawrence were the best. There are so many other skits they did. The elephant one and Went with the wind are 2 of the best!! Tim Conway as an old man is another one. Mr Tuttle is another character he played on the show. I could go on and on. Carol would even answer audience questions before the show started. Those are funny also. I wish it was on syndication because I could watch them over and over again.

[@Steve-hq4fm]

This is how the show aired! It was live, part improv, and Tim always made the other comics break character! It was from the late '70s.

[@sceneitfan]

OMG. I haven’t even watched it yet and I’m dying! Tim Conway and Harvey Korman were comedic gold! Okay. Time to go watch.

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

This is ancient but my mom showed this to me and it shows that even old stuff is hilarious!🤣❤️

[@tessasnow]

I’m 59 and I remember watching this show with my mother and brother when I was young. If you want to see one of them stay in character while all others lose it check out skits with Tim Conway and Lyle Waggoner. Tim always had a hard time making him break character but occasionally it happened. So glad you’re enjoying the show.

[@criscoleman]

That was so freaking funny, I totally lost it. Loved your reactions as well.

[@musicprincess35]

The best part of watching Tim Conway and Harvey Korman (The one in the chair), was watching Tim Conway crack Harvey up. He loved improv. He never stuck to the script, so no one knew what he was going to do next. 😂

[@elgonwilliams7624]

One of the funniest skits ever. The only one that maybe challenges it is when Tim made up as an old man falls down the stairs in slow motion.

[@robertshulenberger]

I saw this video and I told myself "There's NO WAY he's gonna make it; He's going to laugh." 9:36 I guess that gives a new meaning to the word Numbskull, huh ?!?!

[@courderouge2006]

It gets better each time, you pick up on something you missed earlier while laughing. Just like the Naked Gun movies with Leslie Nielsen.

[@russellboynton9153]

Tim Conway was the best,he was usually the one breaking the others out of character.this was the funniest show of the 70's you should get the box set it was an awesome show.

[@kimberlygrimm7007]

Omgoodness!! I have tears running down my face 😂😂😂 The late "GreatTim Conway" was freaking hilarious 😂😂😂😂

[@jenm6836]

The Carol Burnett show was so fun. I loved when they would start cracking up during the skits.

[@SHPratt701]

Any time that Tim Conway was "allowed" to ad lib (which he did often and without warning) it was pure gold. I was raised on the Carol Burnett show and I laugh as hard now as I did when I first saw them. The Siamese Elephant skit with Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, and Dick Van Dyke is one that is a go-to whenever I need a pick me up on a really crappy day.

[@jerrievans6919]

The part about the novocaine in the hand actually happened when Tim was in the military. A dentist actually injected himself in the hand with novocaine!!!

[@SeverAngel]

Hi Billy! My husband & I always laugh so hard every time we watch this. Tim Conway was a genius at comedy! It was one highlight of my week growing up to watch the Carol Burnett Show. God bless

[@chrislawrence8236]

Every time I watch that it never gets old that man was such a comedy genius I love everything he does

[@thedoortolight295]

What makes this even funnier is that apparently Harvey Korman, the one in the chair, literally pissed himself laughing or trying not to laugh at Tim Conway. You can see when he kinda goes “oh crap” at 9:29

[@katiedrake76]

Tim getting the rest of the cast to laugh is the absolute best thing in the entire Carol Burnett show! It was a personal goal of Tim's, to up his performance or do something completely unexpected to get Carol, Harvey, and the others in hysterics while filming. Tim getting Harvey to break is always the highlight to me, because it was always so genuine and unexpected. Tim and Harvey, to me, are one of the greatest comedy duos ever. Their skits are the best in the show. There are so many times Tim got Harvey and others to bust up on set. A few of my favorites are "The Interrogator," "The oldest man: The Doctor," "The Dresser," and "The oldest man: The Fireman." You should consider reacting to them in your "try not to laugh" challenges! I've watched those videos so many times and they never fail to make me laugh. Thanks for another great reaction video, Billy!

[@GaOutlawVinyl]

[@loriyoung9747]

The outtakes of the elephant story!!!!!!

[@williamjamesayers7719]

Harvey Korman, the patient, couldn't hold it in and peed himself from laughing so hard when they filmed this skit. But he also said there was no one that he would work with more than Tim Conway, the dentist. But Conway was totally flawless on not breaking characters from the skit.

[@Ambaryerno]

True story: Harvey Korman was fighting so hard not to laugh during this sketch he peed himself.

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

Tim Conway as 'The Old Man' on Carol Burnett. Harvey Korman can NOT stop laughing!!!! And anything with Tim and Harvey on The Carol Burnett Show are TIMELESS skits!! Even Carol couldn't keep from laughing with Tim!! You MUST do the 'Elephant Story' (the bloopers)

[@SilverbladeDagger]

You just witnessed comedic LEGENDS right there. Tim Conway was always good for cracking up his castmates by improvising things out of the blue and going off script. Harvey Korman was known for breaking up the most, and always with Tim. Both were absolute greats! There were so many skits with them you should see, particularly the one with them as Nazi interrogators, and also the ones with Tim Conway as the old man. Tim as "Mr. Tudball" is pretty good too. Then there is the infamous "Mamma's Family" skit where he had everyone but Vikki Lawrence cracking up, and then when she spoke up, she annihilated them all, even Tim! The Carol Burnett Show was one of those variety shows the 70's that you just had to watch, and my earliest memories are of watching the show. They didn't sink into my memory with specifics until they came out on VHS in the 90's, and then with DVDs and etc now. The best thing about the show is that the comedy is sorta timeless, but you won't see that kind of family friendly comedy much anymore, which is pretty sad. If you want to have a genuine laugh, go with the greats!

[@wendykelly2926]

If you haven't watched the skit "rhe oldest wardrobe manager" from this show with Tim & Harvey, that i highly recommend it. There will be no way anyone could not laugh at that one. Tim had Harvey literally in tears from laughing so hard. Poor Harvey could not stay in character. Love that one. 😂

[@Mallardman795]

I’m a dentist. This skit is legendary in the dental world. Absolutely hysterical!

I have seen this skit 100's of times. Still laughing 😂It never gets old....no Tim Conway gets old, though some of his parts are in the skits . He will break you every time. But i so do have to recommend the Elephant Story. There are 2 parts. Don't think you could not last long.....

[@trewan1519]

Anything from this show is gold. Its was Tim Conway's personal mission to always break Harvey.

[@lindaaumiller7592]

Even after all these years it still cracks me up. You laughed less then I did,

[@icehole51]

Tim Conway was a comedy legend....the man could stay in character no matter how hard his co-stars would loose it...i will miss him

[@styx53ocean]

Watched the Dentist clip several times and I laugh EVERY time. And yes, it does age well. I showed this to my nephews who were 10 and 12 at the time and they laughed hysterically. On a side note, LOVE the Buffalo Bills stuff behind you! I'm a lifelong Bills fan!

[@jamesdrynan]

Tim's comedic timing when he says, " We'll be right with you, " and his leg collapses is perfect! Poor Harvey didn't stand a chance! Tim could break up Harvey just by saying, " Koala. "

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

Tim Conway is legendary. I've heard from various interviews that he'd add things they didn't do in rehearsal to surprise his co-stars. As some other people have already suggested on here, the "Elephant Story" is another classic (makes me laugh no matter how many times I've seen it). For that one, Vicki Lawrence tells a story that the director just stopped by her dressing room right before they taped and said: "The elephant story will be different from rehearsal. Good luck". 😆

Tim Conway = hilarity. I have seen this multiple times and laugh just as much as the first time.

[@AC-gb7do]

More Tim Conway/Carol Burnett, he made it his job to get everyone to laugh in every skit. “Elephant Story” is great, heck, all “The Family” skits are great. The Carol Burnett show when Conway became a regular was consistently fun to watch.

[@colinatorak]

Tim Conway was crazy funny, he always purposely tried to make his castmates break character and laugh. And he was one of the most successful to ever do it. There are only a handful of other comics that were able to do the same on a skit show. One of my favorites of those comics was Chris Farley, as he always was able to do that on SNL with his castmates. Although Chris kept the skit progress going and Tim would somehow be able to slow it down just give everyone time to laugh.

[@CalifGal2TN]

The two best physical comedy actors in history, in my opinion. The show was always done live in front of a live audience, and Tim would always do his best to make the other cast members lose it and laugh…A lot of the skits were Adlibs, so they never or barely ever follow the script.

[@MCG525]

Tim Conway was a comic genius! He would do the skit as written in dress rehearsal, but when the show went live, all bets were off, and he would go off script and do everything possible to get the others to break, especially Harvey Korman. (The other guy in this skit) Like others who have posted, you really should check out him in The Elephant Story skit. I've seen both of these so many times, I laugh just thinking about them. Thanks for reacting to this!

[@pbkayakyer]

I promise you, this ages so well!! I watched this as a kid and I still laugh loudly at this EVERY SINGLE TIME!

[@descendantoffools9767]

The way the Carol Burnett show worked was they did 2 tapings of the entire show in front of the live audience, the first was like a run through and the second was for air. Tim Conway said he would always do the first run through by the script, but on the second he would ad lib trying to get cast members to break up. He said he whole goal in every sketch was to get Harvey Korman to laugh.

[@linkfromhyrule5504]

A lot of times Tim Conway adlib and improved his performances on the Carol Burnett show to make Harvey Corman break character on purpose by making him laugh.

[@SueDamron]

I still laugh at this and I know what’s coming! Tim Conway is SO good in every sketch he does! I’m glad you finally laughed! Harvey Korman did his best to keep from laughing but just couldn’t!!

You haven't seen anything until you see Carol's version of Gone with the Wind ( Went with the Wind ) wherein Carol got the longest time ever on a TV laugh ( at least for years ). She wants to impress Rhett that her family still has money, although they're wearing nothing but rags, because she needs Rhett to help her with the taxes to save Tara. Well, the scene is when "Scarlett" sees the velvet drapes on her windows.....Funniest thing I ever saw on television, EVER.
