A comment by reader Mike C. on my previous post had me rolling in the aisles as he mentioned this Carol Burnett Show skit that I’d never seen before. It’s the first time I’ve seen the entire cast reduced to hysterical laughter!

The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

That's actually from the show 'Mama's Family'.
Still funny as all get out.
That is, by far, the funniest skit of that team….And that is saying something, as they were a funny team from the get go.
Mama's Family originated as a Carol Burnett show skit.
Part of what was hilarious about this outtake was that Vivian Lawrence (who was playing Mama) was the youngest of the cast and never felt brave enough to zing any of the more experienced actors. Her "Sure that little *sshole's through?" was completely out of character and yet so perfectly delivered.
Another great one!!! 🙂
Was that meant to be funny?
Out of character for Vicky but perfectly in character for Momma which makes it even funnier.
Matter of fact I can't think of anything funnier that I've ever seen on TV whether planned or not. Although Tim busting up Harvey by just standing there placidly watching while Harvey tried to deliver a monologue right up there.
I've lost count of how many times I've seen this sketch. Still leaves me holding my sides and gasping for air each time.
All sib has to say is "nert!" and I'm in tears from the laughter.
