Dentist Skit - Go Pee First :o)
I had a Project Management Meeting last night, and during the presentation, this clip was shown. We laughed so hard that many of us had tears running down our faces. So my warning to you is - go pee first LOL.
That was comedy, back in the day! Notice, no foul language, no ethnic slurs, not even much talking, their actions told the story. Poor Harvey, trying not to laugh!
I remember seeing this when it first aired. A classic! One of the funny things about those two is that they made it obvious that they were on the verge of cracking up, which made us all crack up with them. Previous shows (I'm thinking of my favorite, "I Love Lucy") were straight-up acting...no matter how hilarious the situation, Lucy and the others kept a straight face.
Which is better? I don't think it's fair to compare, because both make people laugh, and that's all that matters!
I have it bookmarked and when ever I need a laugh I watch that skit. I heard recently that Harvey didn't know exactly what was going to happen as Tim Conway ad-libbed most of it. That was a great show, I wish they'd re run them once a week ~ say Friday night when nothing else is on. Linda in WA
I loved these two as the main characters on the Carol Burnett Show. I miss watching those shows. I'll have to see if I can find any episodes on latenight tv. (Hugs)Indigo
Just knowing I was going to see Tim Conway, I made sure to pee first. :-) I love him. He was a friend of my uncle's, but I never got to meet him. Thanks for posting this.
This reminds me of those long ago Friday nights ... it always got me to laugh more, when the cast couldn't keep a straight face. Harvey Korman is as beside himself as anyone else is!
Thanks for a great laugh. I love Korman and Conway. Their comedy is timeless and wonderful. Everytime there is a Carol Burnette Show special I'm there laughing my a@@ off.
I used to LOVE watching them on the Carol Burnett Show! Thanks for the laugh this evening.
