The iconic Dick Van Dyke brought the laughs by playing the role of an encyclopedia salesman in another hilarious sketch on The Carol Burnett Show.
The Carol Burnett Show was a legendary comedic program that boasted terrific writing and had one of the best casts youll ever see on a television show. Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman, Tim Conway and Vicki Lawrence never failed to make audiences laugh. Often, they even had their fellow castmates burst into laughter.
But it wasnt just the shows regular cast that would have audiences laughing hysterically. The show often had some of the biggest names in comedy make guest appearances, including the iconic legendary Dick Van Dyke.
In a sketch posted on YouTube, Dick plays an encyclopedia salesman who picked quite possibly the worst time to visit Harvey and Carol. Carol and Harvey play a married couple who are having a massive fight, and Dick finds himself in the middle of it.
Throughout the laugh-out-loud clip, Dick takes a beating. Hes hit, pushed, shoved and even finds himself thrown over a balcony. But like any good salesman, Dick is determined and persistent, willing to go through anything to make the sale.
Near the end of the clip, Carol and Harvey have made up and put their disagreements aside. They have also agreed to help Dick and want to purchase his most expensive set of encyclopedias for all his trouble.
However, just like everything else in the clip, this sale still does not work out for him. He once again literally finds himself in the middle of a domestic dispute.
This clip features some of the most talented people to ever appear on television. Carol, Harvey and Dick are all legends. But its Dick that shines brightest here as he demonstrates his skills in the comedic arts!

Three comedic legends Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Carol Burnett bring the laughs in a hilarious Carol Burnett Show sketch about a cramped office.
Before the pandemic changed forever how and where people work, nearly everyone went into a physical office to do their job. However, instead of going into an office every day, many people do their work remotely, working from the friendly confines of their homes.
Working from home, like everything else, has its advantages and disadvantages. But one of the biggest advantages of working from a remote, home office is the space it allows people. No one has to work right on top of one another because coworkers are literally spread out around the country and maybe even around the world.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol, Tim and Harvey demonstrate in the most hysterical way possible the issues with trying to fit too many people in a small, tight working area. But those three arent the only members of the talented Carol Burnett Show cast who make an appearance in the sketch, all get involved. Vicki Lawrence pops in and out of the office, playing the boss.
The sketch begins with Carol and Harvey arriving at the beginning of their workday. But seconds after their arrival, something is off about this situation. Carol and Harvey work in an office designed to house one person. However, while working together for 20 years in that location, Carol and Harvey have made things work.
Tim arrives minutes into the sketch as a brand-new hire, adding one more person to the already cramped and tightly compact office. To get to his seat, Tim hilariously struggles, climbing on and over the office furniture.
How Tim, Carol and Harvey kept from laughing had to have been a monumental chore. Tim is beaten in the face repeatedly by a typewriter, and Harvey never cracks a smile! Also, before the classic skit ends, Tim gets slammed in the face by a filing cabinet.
Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
The legendary Tim Conway as the Oldest Man flexed his comedic muscles in another classic and hilarious skit from The Carol Burnett Show.
The Carol Burnett Show was a program that featured an all-star cast Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Vicki Lawrence. The writing on the program was also top-notch, placing the shows talented cast of comedians in zany and off-the-wall situations. Those are the two reasons the writing and the cast why the classic skits keep people laughing even decades after the show ended its run on television.
A clip posted on YouTube features Tim and Harvey as two slaves on a ship forced to row the boat as their menacing and unforgiving taskmasters keep a close eye on them. The sketch begins with Harvey sitting in the front row, who is whipped for failing to keep up the pace.
Harvey states that because he has no partner, hes unable to keep up with everyone else. His taskmasters solution to Harveys dilemma is Tim as The Oldest Man. Tim enters, and the laughs start immediately.
Tim slowly makes his way to his seat next to Harvey, who is already cracking up, even before his new partner takes his seat.
The Oldest Man introduces himself to Harvey. They shake hands, and Tim gives Harvey some information that would have been helpful a few seconds earlier.
Hi, Im a leper, Tim tells Harvey.
The studio audience roars with laughter.
Later into the skit, lunch is served. One of the taskmasters throws bread down at Tims feet and informs him he has 30 seconds for lunch.
Tims only option to get the bread is to use his feet. This hilarious maneuver has the entire audience and Harvey reacting with laughs.
Anytime Tim and Harvey were put in a skit together, it was always a good time, filled with some of the most ridiculous situations and tons of laughs. This clip is no exception to that rule!
Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.
Carol Burnett And Harvey Korman put their comedic talents to good use in another hysterical skit about misunderstandings from The Carol Burnett Show.
Its always a good idea to talk things out and discuss anything of importance or significance. Proper communication is a must for any and every relationship to function correctly. Communication issues can lead to problems, hurt feelings and misunderstandings.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol and Harvey play a husband and a wife who experience issues with their communication. Their lack of proper communication leads to tears for Carol but still provides the audience with plenty of laughs.
The skit begins with an upset and frustrated Carol sitting on the couch reading the newspaper upside down. Something is clearly bothering her. When she finally tells her sister whats the matter, she reveals that she has convinced herself that her husband is involved with another woman.
Carol goes into the bedroom to cry and ponder her perceived marital troubles. Moments later, Harvey enters the house, he has been in a wreck with another woman. The car has suffered damage.
Boy, the nerve of some people, Harvey says. There I was minding my own business, and wham!
He adds that some dame just hit me at the intersection.
Halfway through the clip, Carol enters the room. Harvey and Carol have a conversation. But everything that Harvey says about his earlier wreck could also apply to the extramarital affair that Carol believes is taking place.
But the funniest part of the entire skit happens right before it ends. Harvey has left the room, and Carol answers the door. Its the woman who hit Harveys vehicle, dropping off her insurance information.
But she is wearing a coat that conceals her stomach. As she does, she states that she is there to talk about her little accident with Carols husband. The woman is pregnant, and Carol passes out following the reveal.

The Carol Burnett Show sported an all-star cast made up of legendary comedians and, from time to time, also attracted notable guests like Betty White, Steve Martin and Dick Van Dyke.
Over the years, many shows have hit the airwaves trying to provide audiences with laughter and a momentary escape from reality. Some have been more successful than others. But very few, only a handful of television programs, have gone on to become classics. The Carol Burnett Show still manages to keep people laughing even decades after it last aired.
One of the main reasons The Carol Burnett Show continues to make people laugh is because of its incredibly talented cast, including Tim Conway and Carol Burnett. But in select episodes, other comedians and comedic actors popped up on the show.
A clip posted on YouTube features some of those hysterical celebrity guest appearances. The clip begins with Steve Martin trying to expand his audience, trying to appeal specifically to dogs. He says that he has come up with comedy that mans best friend will appreciate.
Now, a lot of dogs watch TV, but theres nothing really on that they can enjoy, maybe a couple of commercials, and thats about it, Steve said. So, I ve worked up a comedy act for dogs.
Steves bit even has several dogs sitting in front of him so he can test how well his act is going. But things go about as well as can be expected.
Later in the clip, Betty White and Carol appear in a Mamas Family skit. Betty and Carol get into an argument that is overheard by Mama. That doesnt work out well for anyone.
Finally, Dick Van Dyke and Carol sing a song together. Dick, following the lyrics of the song, then dumps paint on Carol. Eventually, the two legendary comedians break out into laughter.

Two legendary comedic actors, Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman, hilariously demonstrated how football season can be a difficult time of year for couples.
Most people in the United States of America love football. If not them personally, they know someone who is obsessed with watching their favorite team do battle on the gridiron. As great a game as football is, it can suck up a lot of ones time and attention. This situation may lead to heated discussions, or lack thereof, between spouses.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol continually attempts to talk to her husband, played by Harvey. However, her efforts to strike up a conversation are unsuccessful. He is glued to the television as hes more concerned with watching the final few minutes of an all-important football game.
Carol refuses to quit. She wants to be acknowledged and have a discussion with her husband, and she goes to great and pretty hilarious lengths to accomplish this. She places herself between her husband and the television.
To continue watching the football game, Harvey physically picks Carol up and places her on the other side of the room. This maneuver seems to be the straw that broke the camels back. At this point, Carol is steaming mad, screaming at her football-obsessed husband.
That did it, Carol yells. That absolutely did it!
She then grabs a newspaper, crumbles it up and throws it onto the floor.
I am leaving this house, and I am not coming back until the end of the football season, Carol screams.
She storms the door, but not even all that commotion is enough to get her husbands attention away from the television. So, Carol does an instant replay of what she just did. This is the highlight and funniest part of the entire sketch.
She moves backward and makes it appear that she is being rewound to yell about football again.
Carol Burnett is a legendary comedian, and this clip perfectly shows why she is universally adored and loved!

Two comedic legends, Carol Burnett and Tim Conway, bring the laughs once again as they star in yet another hilarious skit from the beloved and classic Carol Burnett Show.
Soap operas are, for some reason, a television staple. Despite the terrible, over-the-top acting and the horrible writing, a segment of the population still faithfully watches them. Given the bad acting and poor writing, soap operas are easy and obvious targets for mockery and ridicule.
In a clip posted on YouTube, The Carol Burnett Show took aim at soap operas, mocking everything that makes those awful, over-the-top television programs memorable. Carol, Tim and even Harvey Korman appear in their faux soap opera, As the Stomach Turns.
The hysterical skit begins with Carol sitting at a table pouring herself a cup of tea while a man provides a voice-over, giving viewers a recap about what happened since the last episode of As the Stomach Turns. Seconds into the skit, Tim, dressed as an elderly man, makes his slow, steady and uproarious entrance into the room.
Eventually, after much effort, Tim sits down in a chair. Carol and Tim have a difficult discussion. She informs him that hes being placed in a nursing home. He doesnt accept the news well and attempts to run away. But dont worry, he doesnt get too far!
Vicki Lawrence enters the room as the teenage temptress and throws a wrench into everything. Soon enough, she becomes the object of desire for every man in As the Stomach Turns, even Tims elderly, 91-year-old character.
The entire sketch is absolutely fantastic, providing audiences with a ton of laughs. At one point, Carol and Harvey break character, unable to contain their laughter at Tims insane and hilarious antics.
But the highlight of the entire 14-minute skit is likely Tims slow-motion fall down the stairs. Much like The Carol Burnett Show, Tims fall is hysterical!
Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.
Legendary comedians Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Carol Burnett star in a laugh-out-loud skit in which Tim makes quite the first impression on his fiances father.
The Carol Burnett Show featured an all-star cast and fantastic, hilarious writing. Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Vicki Lawrence were often placed in absurd, off-the-wall situations and then given the opportunity to use their God-given comedic talents to great effect. Their hilarious antics, which still have people laughing decades later, made for television gold.
In one classic sketch, Carol and Tim play a newly engaged couple hoping to win the approval of Carols strict and overbearing father. This is a big moment for their relationship and future together.
However, as Tim arrives for his first meeting with Carols father, he announces that he has undergone a series of allergy tests. Soon after Carols father (played by Harvey Korman) enters the room, things dont go according to plan. Tim slowly begins acting more and more like a cat, no doubt a side effect of all those tests.
Harvey approaches Tim, holding out his hand for a handshake. Tim, instead of meeting his hand, sniffs the strangers hand. Things arent off to a great start, to say the least.
Put off by Tims greeting, Harvey tells Carol, his daughter in the sketch, that theres a lot to be said for being an old maid.
Tim lunges at Harveys neck with his hand, and he hisses much like a cat who is upset or afraid.
Carols fiance then begins scratching uncontrollably, commenting that he believes hes come down with fleas.
But things go from bad to worse for the happy couple. Tim bats around a pocket watch that Harvey swings back and forth. The temptation is too much to withstand.
Harveys character, taken aback by the absurd behavior, reacts negatively to Tim. Tim once again hisses at Harvey, which causes him to join everyone else watching the skit and burst out in laughter.
The skit eventually ends with Tim being chased by a dog and climbing up the drapes. Despite everything, Tim and Carol get her fathers blessing.
Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.
Two comedic legends, Carol Burnett and Jerry Lewis, play two socially awkward individuals on a first date in another hilarious sketch from The Carol Burnett Show.
Dating can be a weird and uncomfortable process. Mustering up the nerve to ask someone out can be a daunting task. But first dates can be even more unpleasant as two people try to strike up a conversation to get to know one another. Sometimes theres a spark or a connection, and other times, it ends badly.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol Burnett and Jerry Lewis play two people who are odd and peculiar by nearly every conceivable measure. Theyve been set up on a date by their loud, overbearing parents, who inform them that much is riding on them forging a love connection. The pressure is on for these two people to hit it off.
Jerry Lewis, wearing dark, thick-rimmed glasses, a suit jacket and slacks several inches too short, enters the room for his big date. Carol also wears thick glasses and has a postnasal drip.
The date is off to a rough start as Jerry walks into and trips over the couch. They quickly size each other up, and the conservation is not exactly sparkling. Each talks about their background and their social failures.
About halfway through the skit, Carols character states that her father suggested she undergo plastic surgery. Jerry asks when she plans to have it done, and Carol hilariously responds that it has already been completed.
There is also some dancing, which is essentially nothing more than Jerry hoping and jumping about the room.
But then something odd and unexpected happens. The two quickly fall in love and share what is likely the weirdest first kiss possible. They then follow it up with the strangest second kiss ever.
How Carol and Jerry made it through the entire sketch without laughing or smiling is beyond me. It is an absolutely hysterical sketch!
Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.
Carol Burnett tried to throw her husband a surprise birthday party, but nothing went according to plan in the hilarious and classic sketch from The Carol Burnett Show.
Everyone loves a good birthday celebration, especially the cake that often accompanies those shindigs. Throwing birthday parties is just one of the many ways to show friends and family how much we care and love them. But for those who are feeling a little more ambitious, there are surprise birthday parties. They do require a lot more planning and even some deception.
In a video posted on YouTube, Carol has put together a surprise birthday party for her husband. Almost everything is in place, and it's nearly time for the man of honor to arrive home for the big surprise.
The food is complete and out, and guests are beginning to arrive as expected. But just as Carol is putting on the finishing touches for the gathering, things go off the rails quickly in the laugh-out-loud skit.
Much to Carols dismay, Carols husband arrives home much earlier than normal. She is forced to improvise as she desperately tries to keep her husband in the dark about the party.
As she inadvertently screams in his face and ear, Carol then sends him on a wild goose chase in their house after his keys. While this is happening, Carol hilariously shuffles the guests all over the house, hoping to keep them out of her husbands sight until the proper moment.
Things go from bad to worse when the guests are supposed to appear and surprise Carols husband and shout, Happy Birthday! While they leave the kitchen and enter the living room, they slam Carols husband in the face with the door, leaving him on the floor unconscious.
The failed surprise birthday party is yet another hysterically funny and classic skit from the legendary Carol Burnett and her iconic castmates.
Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.
Teenage girls and boys function in vastly different ways, but one hilarious video depicts how those differences play out during the Christmas season.
Christmas is, arguably, the best time of the year. Its a time to celebrate the birth of the Savior with family, friends and a delicious meal or two. Often, the holiday is accompanied by gift exchanges where meticulously wrapped presents are opened and enjoyed. Most people wholeheartedly agree that Christmas is a terrific and joyous time.
But before those gifts can ever be opened and enjoyed, parents must have an idea as to what their children want. One video shows that getting this valuable information from teenage girls is often much easier than from male teenagers.
The laugh-out-loud video consists of the mother playing both parts the teenage girl and the male teenager. It quickly cuts back and forth, showing the noticeable disparity between the two as they present their wish lists for Christmas.
The daughter has gone all out, creating for her parents a detailed and professional-looking presentation.
Thank you for joining me today for my presentation of my Christmas Wish List, she says.
The young man, on the other hand, seems bothered by the question. Hes reluctant to provide this information, to say the least.
The young woman provides reasons why she is worthy of the gifts she is about to request. She has even created a hierarchy for the gifts. She has ranked them in the order of desire from highest to lowest.
The male teenager struggles to come up with his list. He starts hunting and searching for his list between the couch cushions. Hes eventually successful, but its not exactly helpful. Its a small piece of paper with the word hoodies written on it.
At the end of the video, the videos two creators explained that instead of exaggerating the dialogue, it was true to life and their experiences.
We didnt really write it, the man explains. I just have to jump in here. Like a lot of times when we do these bits, like, we have to elevate it a lot. Like we go kind of over the top, just to, like, make a satire out of it. We basically just cut and pasted our daughters quite thoughtful Christmas wish list.
