Tim Conway, in a 1977 outtake from “The Carol Burnett Show”, hilariously refuses to let the scene continue. Carol, Vicki Lawrence and Dick Van Dyke try to keep from laughing as he improvises an insane story about circus elephants.

Tim Conway is the best! They tried to trumpet but they just went, *Snarf*!
This is hands down one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Together with The Dentist sketch with him and Harvey Korman.
Carol Burnett was known for rarely breaking character. Tim Conway & Harvey Korman were freewheeling pranksters who reveled in disrupting sketches to crack each other up. They took particular pleasure in messing with Burnett as they knew she hated it. Their antics (which are all over YT) made for some of the best bits of the show.

*Fsnorky!*
thry used to show this on infomercials
What’s a Tim Conway?
Man, as soon as Tim starts talking, you can see Carol just make such a hilarious face.
Carol Burnett was a pioneer of TV sketch comedy. I highly encourage people to check out her Gone With The Wind parody, another classic, titled *Went With The Wind.*
Comedy that still holds up today can be very rare. I was genuinely laughing my butt off at this by the end
I usually end up watching this at least once every few months and it still cracks me up.
I loved this show.
So crazy that I grew up watching Mama’s Family and it started on a show before I was even born. Well, barely but, yeah. Used to love Vicki Lawrence growing up.
Wow. Never saw this. Thank you.
Up there with This Is Your Story with Carl Reiner and Howie Morris and Sid Caesar.
What does she say at the end? “Did you hear that little a–hole…”?
I’ve probably seen this more than 2 dozen times in my life and it is ALWAYS funny. If he went on any longer you could weaponize this clip.
This is awesome, thanks. Whenever I’m having a rough day, just watching people losing it laughing like this is the best therapy.
I love how surprise always gets the biggest laughs!
Comedy GOLD!!
I’ve always loved watching Tim Conway in anything he did. No matter what he could always make me laugh! My favorites were “The Carol Burnett Show”, anything Dorf, “The Private Eyes”, and his few episodes of “Coach!”
One of the great all time comedy scenes. I remember it being on one of those blooper reel compilation shows and my whole family crying laughing
Err…friend is hard of hearing and CC is no help, what did Vicki Lawrence quip at 4:20?
I’ve told my wife for years that I want this played at my funeral. It never gets old. You could show it 100 years from now and it would still be hilarious.
No matter how many times this pops up, I will watch and upvote it every time
I remember as a kid wondering why, during bloopers, the audiences would suddenly break into laughter. Now I know about the applause sign and producers and all of that and realise it’s some desperate producer flashing the sign to try and settle the laughter so the scene can continue.
Carol’s faces are pure joy
This will never not be funny.
