Tim Conway was only trying to make a decent first impression — but seconds later, Harvey Korman was bouncing around, Carol Burnett was hanging on for dear life, and the whole apartment had descended into absolute mayhem.

Tim Conway goes bananas in a hysterical sketch that you can’t miss. The comedic legend brings the laughs in an absurd, off-the-wall sketch that has him acting like a member of the animal community. Check out this classic and hilarious skit from The Carol Burnett Show.

 

 

First impressions are a big deal. They are our first thoughts when meeting someone, and whether they are correct or not, they last for a while. Make a bad first impression, and it will take time to change those initial thoughts and feelings that quickly become cemented in someone’s mind.

One situation in which making a good first impression is crucial is when attempting to earn the blessing and favor of someone, specifically that of a potential father-in-law. Marriage is a commitment that is too big and too important not to have the approval of the young woman’s father.

In a skit posted on YouTube, Tim is a gentleman who hopes to win the approval and blessing of his fiancée’s father, played by Harvey Korman. Carol Burnett (Tim’s fiancée in the sketch) wants everything to go well, of course. Before meeting with Carol’s father, Tim reveals a monkey bit him at the vet. He received a shot, and everything should be ok, but there still may be side effects.

And there are some major side effects!

 

Soon after Carol’s father arrives, Tim exhibits odd but familiar sounds and movements. He starts acting like a monkey.

While Harvey asks Tim a series of straightforward and important questions, Tim begins shouting and bounding around the apartment like a monkey.

Somehow, neither Harvey nor Tim breaks character in the skit. However, there is a moment when Harvey gets a massive smirk on his face, but he does not burst out laughing as he does in so many other skits with Tim.

“THIS WAS THE NIGHT COMEDY STOPPED PLAYING NICE. Tim Conway walked out as “The Oldest Man” and didn’t rush a single thing. Not his steps. Not his blink. Not even the painfully slow reach for the ship’s wheel. Across the desk, Harvey Korman tried to hold it together. He failed. Quietly at first. Then completely. His head dropped. Shoulders shook. No words left. What made this moment so lethal wasn’t chaos. It was patience. Tim didn’t push harder — he simply waited longer. The room gave up before the joke did. Cast. Crew. Audience. Everyone was on edge. It wasn’t a mistake. It was timing stretched to the breaking point. But there’s more to that silence than most people ever realized… and when you see it, you’ll never look at comedy the same way again.”
