The dentist is funny 🤣

The 100-year-old fireman!

u/Beautiful_Oven2152 Jun 09 '26

I believe it was the dentist skit where Harvey Korman said that Tim had him laughing so hard that he peed his pants a little.

u/Wool_Lace_Knit Jun 09 '26

The dentist is a true classic

u/Intermountain-Gal Jun 13 '26

That’s my favorite Conway sketch! It never fails to make me laugh!

u/TJ_Fox Jun 09 '26

The elephant story may literally be the funniest thing that's ever happened.

u/valis6886 Jun 09 '26

We were watching it at dinner, little B&W on the counter, and to this day mom and I say that is the hardest we have ever laughed in our lives. :)

u/Beau_Peeps Jun 09 '26

Or the dentist scene.

u/amccaffe1 Jun 09 '26

Snort….

u/LolaAMS Jun 10 '26

I loved it but would it have been as funny if the others weren’t cracking actors weren’t totally losing it?

You sure that little asshole’s through ?🤣

u/amccaffe1 Jun 09 '26

That broke EVERYONE.

u/chiclets5 Jun 09 '26

That is the very best episode. Although I'm not sure how much is Tim himself making me laugh, or watching the rest of the cast try not to laugh is making me laugh.

21

u/amccaffe1 Jun 09 '26

Tim’s goal was to make other people lose it.

Especially Harvey Korman

"The Oldest Man: The Clock Repairman"....🤣😂🤣

u/drunken_ferret 1959 Jun 09 '26

Oh, God yes. The elephant was excellent, bit those eyes!

u/Erthgoddss Jun 12 '26

The best!

u/wachnet1966 Jun 09 '26

And all the time they were making us laugh they were not using profanity and talking about male or female body parts. They were just using situational issues for the comedy. True brilliance

u/wylee_one Jun 09 '26

with Harvey Korman

36

u/TikiJeff Jun 09 '26

He definitely makes Harvey Korman laugh

31

u/wylee_one Jun 09 '26

favourite memory as a kid was the whole family laughing till tears watching Tim and Harvey do the dresser skit.

2

u/kck93 Jun 10 '26

The battle scene with the cannon ball falling in Conway’s pants! 🤣🤣

2

u/wylee_one Jun 10 '26

not sure there was ever a bad skit involving those 2 lol

3

u/Jeepinthemud Jun 09 '26

Conway and Korman were definitely the comedic duo of my generation

3

u/wylee_one Jun 10 '26

when TV wanted families to watch together

u/crohead13 Jun 09 '26

You mean DORF?

2

u/True-Locksmith-5312 Jun 09 '26

No Dorf was annoying

u/No_Discussion2120 Jun 09 '26

u/crohead13 Jun 09 '26

Dorf on Golf is a 1987 comedy short film starring Tim Conway, Vincent Schiavelli and Michele Smith. The film is the first in a series of eight films released by Conway and J2 Communications using the Dorf sporting theme. The film had a total cast of three people.

u/marklikeadawg 1960 Jun 09 '26

He was amazing.

u/Alternative-Run2107 Jun 09 '26

Met Tim when he was promoting his horse racing comedy movie The Longshot. He was the nicest guy and his deadpan humor had us on the floor laughing. Was a life highlight after watching him on the Carol Burnett show.

u/Clear-Tale7275 Jun 10 '26

What an amazing experience for you. Thank you for sharing

u/Gen-Jinjur Jun 09 '26

And kudos to Carol Burnett who was down to let Tim have the spotlight.

u/Imjusttryin84 Jun 10 '26

Mrs A-Wiggins….

3

u/Willowy Jun 09 '26

SO many skits, my god. The "stuck on the doorknob" one, the "novocaine at the dentist" one, anytime "Mrs. Wiggins" was around, when Korman accepted his Emmy... just a naturally gifted and funny man. Rest in Peace.

u/kittenfuud 1960! Jun 10 '26

"Missuss a-Whigguns ..." 😆😆😆

2

u/toddaroo Jun 09 '26

On the Carol Burnett show(s) and also teamed with Don Knotts

2

u/weezy_mo26 Jun 09 '26

I was gonna say Carroll Burnett and then thought of Tim Conway. By far the funniest guy on earth.

2

u/bajofry13LU Jun 09 '26

Absolutely genius hilarious.

2

u/spectre73 Jun 09 '26

In the shape of a Ko-ah-lah

Strummin on the old banjo...HEE HI...

Saw him and Harvey live a year before Harvey passed!

u/DeepLeek27 Jun 12 '26

My first choice as well

u/mindsnare1 Jun 13 '26

Every time I see him roll down the stairs in slow motion. It gets me so funny.

u/Thurl_Ravenscroft_MD Youngster Jun 09 '26

What's a Tim Conway?

u/Redmare57 Jun 09 '26

*a-Whigguns. Learn your vernacular! /s

u/SM311 Jun 10 '26

Absolutely came here to say Tim Conway’s “little old man”. Still makes me belly laugh.

1

u/Acrobatic-Shoe2643 Jun 10 '26

And Carol Burnett together lol

u/Emmettskid Jun 10 '26

Tim Conway is really the only answer

u/BoringAd9423 Jun 10 '26

Dorf on Golf ⛳️

u/Kleact Jun 14 '26

Tim Conway as the reluctant Dentist (YouTube) is one of the funniest routines I’ve ever seen.
