Apropos of nothing political….
In case you are too young to have seen The Carol Burnett Show, or you just don\’t remember how funny it was, especially due to the amazing deadpan antics of Tim Conway…
CLICK HERE to watch what started as a “Mama\’s Family” skit, but became an outtake, because Conway went into a free-form story about an elephant that had Burnett, Vicki Lawrence and Harvy Korman Dick Van Dyke laughing so hysterically they could not continue — then watch it happen again when they tried a second take. And be sure to stick around for the very end, when Vicki Lawrence gets off a line, out of nowhere, so unexpected and so funny that even Conway loses it.
After you\’re finished wiping the tears from your eyes, and the pain in your sides lessens a bit, we can go back to politics, where neither elephants nor donkeys are funny at all.
