There is no one in show business today that can make an audience laugh like that using that kind of material. No one. That kind of comedy is long gone, and to our detriment.
MOLON LABE!
I laughed so hard my eyes started leaking. The final line is killer.

My favorite outtake from one of my fav shows.
Funny, this is the skit I thought of when we got to talking about the Gone with the wind skit on the other thread.
I've always been fascinated by the show, and in a documentary I watched they explained that apparently the way they taped the show they did a walk through, then "the show", but they could cut and paste some between the two. So sometimes when they had what they needed for the show the producers would let Tim do his thing in the 2nd taping, and this is one where they let him go.
I don't know what was more striking, how funny that skit is (I have watched it dozens of times and I still makes me laugh like mad), or that Vickie Lawrence wasn't even 21 when she started playing Momma and I think is still in her early 20s in this skit.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.
Tim wasn't even a regular until the last few years of the show, but his bits with Harvey Corman are absolutely legendary, and beyond funny.
It was a great show. I remember not really caring about the song and dance parts, it was after all a variety show in the 70s style, but the comedy will live forever. Man it was funny.

Just a bit off topic, but Jonathan Winters, Tim Conway, and Robin Williams are three of the funniest men that ever lived in my television

absolutely 3 of the funniest ever. I loved williams' recorded stuff, I used to be able to recite his "Wow Reality What a Concept" album, could still do most of it.
The final line is great, but my favorite is the line about them being lovers, b/c that's when you know it's officially gone totally off the rails.

Since we're on the theme, one of my other very favorites. If you dont' want to sit through the whole thing, jump to the 5 minute mark. It's WAY worth watching, man it's funny.

Him playing dentist to Harvey Korman (really, anytime they were together) was overthetop good. I remember him on McHale's Navy, another good show.
Cool as a rule, but sometimes bad is bad.
Great skits. My wife and I watched some of them last night. I wasn't expecting to find some of them as funny, but I think they were even funnier now.

“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”
