A hilarious skit featuring the legendary Carol Burnett shows the pervasive nature of advertising in our world.
TV ads, radio commercials and other media trying to sell a product or service are everywhere. Driving down the road, there are bound to be several billboards along the highway for fast-food restaurants. Log into Facebook or check your email and you'll have to scroll past ads to get to the next post or email.
The Carol Burnett Show uses the fact that were hit constantly with ads as the basis for a classic and laugh-out-loud sketch. In the short, two-and-a-half-minute clip, Carol enters the kitchen dressed in a very homely manner while carrying a piece of clothing. But when she goes to put the shirt away, things go hilariously wrong.
Everything Carol does or attempts to do is met by a voiceover trying to sell her something. It appears that Carol has experienced this type of thing before. She responds to the first ad saying, Its happening again!
She answers the door and receives a kiss from the milkman. A voiceover then states, He kissed you once, but will he kiss you again?
It's clear that Carol is slowly being driven crazy by all the ads invading her life. Who said that? she yells.
Carol opens a can of green beans and gets an ad for the Jolly Green Giant. She dips into a bag of chips and a voice immediately says, I betcha cant eat just one.
Then, what appears to be the last straw for Carol, a bra, out of nowhere, starts dangling in the air. Of course, she then gets an ad for womens underwear.
Having heard and seen enough, Carol has finally made the decision to vacate the premises. She is getting out while she still has a bit of her sanity. Although, that doesnt quite turn out great either.

Laughs can be found when preparing and buying food, especially when two comedic legends are in the sketch.
The Carol Burnett Show remains a beloved program decades after its run on television ended. It sported an insanely talented, legendary cast and excellent writing. Tim Conway and Harvey Korman were two members of the historic cast.
One classic skit from the show features Tim as an elderly gentleman running a hot dog stand and Harvey as one of his customers. The hilarious skit begins with a construction worker asking for directions to the post office. Unfortunately, Tims character doesnt answer the mans inquiry in a timely manner and things get hysterically worse from there.
Moments later, Harvey, playing a rushed businessman seeking lunch, sits at the counter. After Harvey grabs his seat, its clear that both men are going to have a tough time keeping it together. Noticeable smirks come across both of their faces.
Harveys character then politely places his order. Id like a hot dog and a chocolate shake, please, he says.
But too bad for Tims elderly character, his memory isnt what it used to be. This doesnt go over well with the businessman on the other side of the counter. His level of annoyance increases rapidly. Hes soon barking out his order.
Tims character goes to greater and greater lengths to fulfill the order. All his efforts are in vain. His memory has failed him miserably.
At about the 6-minute mark of the clip, as Tim is hilariously handling several hot dogs, Harvey tries to but fails to mask his laughter at Tims antics.
Eventually, Tims character does fulfill the hot dog and chocolate milkshake order...kind of.
How Tim is able to keep it together during the sketch is beyond me. Harvey, on the other hand, wasnt as successful in doing so.

Tim Conway and Carol Burnett displayed their comedic genius in a hilarious skit about two elderly characters in a shoe store.
The Carol Burnett Show is one of television's best, most beloved shows. The show featured an all-star, legendary cast and put their extensive comedic talents to work in hilarious, zany and witty sketches.
In the programs seemingly endless collection of hilarious skits, Tim Conway and Carol Burnett use age as a basis for a seriously hilarious sketch. Tim and Carol play two old characters who, by happenstance, end up in a shoe store alone together.
In the clip posted on YouTube, Tim plays a character who works in a shoe store. Carol is the elderly individual who enters the establishment, hoping to come away with a pair of blue slippers. The results of their interaction are laugh-out-loud funny, to say the least.
The sketch begins with the middle-aged store owner informing Tim that he needs to come out front to watch the store. He will only be gone for one hour. What could go wrong in only 60 minutes? Well, plenty.
Soon after Tim, who looks oddly similar to Albert Einstein, is put in charge of the store, Carol enters the location in a maroon-colored and white-dotted dress. She also sports a pair of huge, prominent false teeth.
At first, Tim mistakes Carol for a mannequin, dusting off her dress, chest and face. Their interaction only goes downhill from that point as the hilarity ensues. Tim cannot figure out how to get Carols shoe off. When hes eventually successful, he fears hes removed her leg from her body.
Later in the skit, Carol assists Tim with the ladderkind of, anyway. Hes left dangling, holding on with one hand as Carol sends the ladder crashing into Tim.
But despite their odd interaction, the skit does end on a hilarious but sweet note. Carol and Tims characters walk off together, ready to enjoy lunch.

Three legendary comedic actors couldnt keep themselves from breaking character in yet another classic sketch from The Carol Burnett Show.
Its been said that comedy is tougher than drama. Why? Well, comedy is so subjective. What makes one person laugh probably isnt going to make the next guy double over in laughter.
The talented cast of The Carol Burnett Show had no problem keeping audiences laughing. In fact, clips of the programs zany skits and off-the-wall characters are still keeping viewers laughing all these decades later. Often what was most difficult for Carol Burnett, Tim Conway and Harvey Korman was going an entire sketch without cracking up in laughter themselves.
A clip posted to YouTube is an excellent example of when cast members couldnt keep it together. The skit begins with Carols character introducing herself Mary Worthless.
Mary Worthless, as she explains, is a do-gooder and believes everyone was put on Earth for some purpose. As the viewers quickly learn, it appears Marys purpose is to wreck a perfectly happy and weird relationship.
The next scene begins with Harvey Korman and Vicki Lawrence playing a married couple who cannot keep their hands off one another. They describe themselves as the most happily married couple in the whole world. However, that marital bliss doesnt last long after Mary Worthless arrives at their front door.
In seconds, Mary has the previously happy couple yelling and screaming at one another. They quickly appear to be on the rocks, their marriage in utter shambles. Near the end of the clip, Harvey ends up with a face full of pie and the cast busting out in laughter.
It gets to the point where Harvey and Carol cannot get through a line without laughing! Carol even buries her face in her hands, unable to contain her laughter any longer.
