Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, and Carol Burnett together in one skit? You know it’s going to be a riot! This classic from The Carol Burnett Show has our favorite trio at a restaurant booth, and Vicki Lawrence plays the waitress.
The hijinks begin when Tim grabs a banana from the table, peels it, and then nonchalantly chucks the fruit and pops the peel in his mouth. Harvey loses it, and Carol’s not far behind. But that’s just Tim being Tim, always going for the unexpected laugh.
It turns out Dr. Percy Thornhill, played by Tim, volunteered for a new medical experiment. After a series of injections, let’s just say he’s experiencing some peculiar side effects. The man can’t help but ham it up!
The one-liners fly as fast as the corn husks. When the waitress takes his order, she asks if he wants corn on a plate or in a trough. By the end of the skit, everyone’s oinking away in Pig Latin!
Aired in season 10, episode 16, “Dr. Percy is Feeling Porky” showcases the quick wit and impeccable comic timing that made The Carol Burnett Show must-see TV. Tim’s rubber-face expressions and Harvey’s exasperated reactions play off each other perfectly.
