As he often did, Tim made much of that up on the spot, which is why Harvey lost it so much. Supposedly just before they went on to do the sketch, Tim told Harvey “let’s do the novocaine bit”, when they had not at any point written or discussed any novocaine bit.
As a child growing up (yeah boomer in the house) I loved watching the CB show. All the cast was funny but when Tim was added to the mix in a scene, in particular Tim and Harvey it was absolute GOLD!! Rarely laughed so hard as then and it was clean too.
My dad loved these two. Thanks for posting, reminds me of him – he passed 5yrs ago.
I wonder if this sketch had any influence on the Mr Bean dentist sketch
I loved when Carol would tug on her ear at the end of the show to say hi to her deaf Aunt…
Authentic laugh-thanks!
I’ve watched this a dozen times and still crack up every time.
Watching Harvey Korman lose it was half the fun. These two were amazing together!
I love this bit.
The bit with the elephants attached at the trunk…..
Snork
so that’s where the mr bean sketch came from
When I see Tim Conway the first thing I think of is Scooby Doo.
I am CRYING. I wish TV today had this quality of programming. I watched Carol Burnett every week, and Mary Tyler Moore and Newhart. So many classic comedy scenes from those shows.
One of my all time favourites.
The best sketch ever!
This is gold
ive seen this linked in reddit all the time, I watch it every time too
I think of this skit every time I go to the dentist. Hilarious!
Love it!
Yes that was awesome!! :*D
Loved those guys
This will never not be funny
I still watch the Carol Burnette show on Amazon prime video. (They cut a lot of the other bits so it’s all the comedy bits comprised into several seasons)
They’re such a hilarious bunch.
My teeth are fine, but now my sides hurt.
One of the all time sketches.
Legend
Still funny to this day
Anybody know who the nurse is? She looks familiar. Maybe she had a part on Star Trek or something?
You don’t see things on TV this funny anymore. You just don’t.
Its “Hedley”!
Harvey Korman Corpsing??? Send for the Man
Really
The best part of these skits is watching the other folks in them lose it and start laughing at what Tim is doing.
Also excellent is Tim Conway playing a Nazi soldier with a Hitler hand puppet.
That’s pretty much Harvey Korman any time he was within 10 feet of Tim Conway.
I have always wonder how much of the sketches with these two were written, and how much was adlib.
Two classics! The Carol Burnett Show was hilarious, great comedy.
I will never not laugh at this. Conway and Korman are gold.
If you’ve never seen [Tim Conway’s Elephant Story, an outtake from the 80s sitcom Mama’s Family](https://youtu.be/3qqE_WmagjY?t=119)…you owe it to yourself to see it. Right. Now. One of the most legendary laughs in TV history. Make sure to watch until the very end.
Those two were brilliant together – especially when Tim started freestyling…
Tim never got convicted for the amount of times he killed Harvey. The Man was just RUTHLESS!
If you want to watch the show for free. I watched it on pluto.tv
Half way through I realized the patient is Hedley Llamar from Blazing Saddles.
Fun fact: If Tim Conway’s voice sounds familiar, he voiced Barnacle Boy in Spongebob until he passed in 2019.
I grew up in the seventies and I never, ever missed the Carol Burnett show. Tim Conway was a comic god.
Those two were magic together, absolutely hilarious.
Love it.
My grandmother had his Dorf videos when I was a kid, and I’d watch them almost every time I went to her house.
