Carol Burnett Show’s Famous Blooper Reel Has Audience And Cast Buckled Over In Laughter

One of the most popular segments on the Carol Burnett show was “The Family” featuring Carol Burnett as “Eunice” and Vicki Lawrence as “Mama”. In this particular skit, Tim Conway relates a story about elephants. Soon, the well-known troublemaker had the entire studio audience laughing and his cast mates unable to utter their lines because they are buckled over in laughter.

The actors were absolutely destroyed and could not continue on with the sketch and Conway never lets up. Everyone, including the audience, cannot stop laughing. Just when you think things could not get any funnier, it’s Vicki Lawrence that finally does them all in with her response at 4:20. This particular blooper became infamous, although her adult language was bleeped out for the actual broadcast!

These outtakes are a master class in timing and humor and rank as one of the funniest monologues ever on TV.
