I once stood in the bathroom late at night and spent hell of a time trying to open a mouth wash.. Gosh, did they washed my patience away. Oh, they certainly did. I gave up and threw it away. A large bottle.. thrown away.. unopened... 😭
Next to "As The Stomach Turns" this was perhaps the best skit on her show. As Carol slowly goes crazy the hilarity is infectious and unavoidable. Loved his show so much as a kid. That damn constant flat narration was epic!!! Brilliant!
I had forgotten how bad it could be back then. But now it's just INSANE! I can't open a fucking thing with tools now. Bag 'o shredded cheese, get a pair of scissors. Rice pilaf seasoning packet, same deal. Jar of tomato sauce, get a hammer, some hot water and bang it on the counter 57 times. GAH!!!!
We all can relate to getting something open only to have problems arise...or having to use a tool to get it. That Shrink Wrap is the absolute worst, and I got cut on it a few times.
This wasn't much of an exageration. Even 35+ years later, many products can be a beggar to open. Thank goodness they don't make us pull the red string on a Band-Aid anymore. If your aim was off, all you'd get was the string--and perhaps some blood on the wrapper. :-/
+Crystal Gonzales Ah yes, Spam! Wonderful - IF you made sure the can you bought had that little key still attached AND you didn't get a trip to the emergency room when you sliced your hand open on the can. But fried Spam? Nothin' like it!
So now I have to accuse this computer of being connected to who in Pleasanton California? Another muslim group network? or is it the man I named to Stanford Medical University when I was out there in 2006-2008 or so. What a bunch of leeches. Can't let it go??
The best is the package reads it's "easy to open". Sometimes I end up using scissors or any other tools.😆

Such a cute sketch! Love these types. Hate those hard to open cans!
This was one my many favorite Carol Burnett skits! Funny part is IT HAPPENS TO US ALL AT SOMETIME IN LIFE! 😳🥰😅😊😂

One of my faves! They don't make tv like this anymore...live was so much better!
Too funny, carol hilarious, we still have trouble getting things open in 2018
We can all relate and of course Carol and company is still the best
true
I know Sylvie
We have all had those types of days. And milk was the worse 🤣
I remember in the 1970's when I was a little kid my dad watching this one. And it making me laugh so.
Lol. Yes, I've had those days!!
I just saw this on here. What a riot!
This is so me. I hate opening packages. I end up just stabbing the hell out of it with my Bowie knife to get inside. Have zero patience for it lol.
This sketch gave me inspiration for a stand up comedy skit I did

I definitely remember those old style milk cartons and soda cans. I can relate to the plastic bag. 😎
i love how she talks to the directions XD
That's me on a bad day.😅😂❤
Been there, done that. It was a bottle of Gatorade that I SWEAR the lid had been glued on!
So hilarious! Thanks for uploading :)
So true after all these years
Some days seem just like this.
It must be open season on... packages.
My favorite skit of hers. Haven't most of us had a day like this?
MAKES ME LAUGH EVERYTIME! I TOO TOOK OUT A CAN OF SODA BUY SMACKING IT WITH A DUSTPAN!
Still my favorite sketch!
Ah yes, I opened it right up! Yes... My thumb....... theres a big gash in my thumb that I opened up. Band aids... NEED BANDAIDS!!!

I love this
Ohhhhhh i can relate!!!
Nothing is worse than opening up a package of batteries.
Or toothbrushes in the plastic package.
poor Carol, Harvey hit her :) but then he gave her a little kiss on the cheek! Love them!
This is so true of packaging, not fit for purpose.
OMG yes everyone has those days LOL Imagine opening something with short nails.....oh boy LOL
thanks for uploading this video alwayslsolfunny :=) :=)

Oh, wow, I remember that red string on band aids! It almost wasn't worth the bother!
My Mom would ask me Why did you open it the wrong way?
Line up arrows on the cap lol she's like fuck that.
She knows how to make a bad situation funny
And nothing has changed with packaging in over 40 years.
I absolutely hated those band aid sleeves with the red string in them! So infuriating! Thank God they don't bother with those any more.
I'd forgotten about that stupid red string until I watched this episode on MeTV last night. Woke my guy up laughing my butt off!
@@Myoliverandcompany I had forgotten as well.
Open other side 😂
I remember the red string... on Band-Aids. That needed a parody.
Couldn't stand opening up aspirin bottles with the arrows
Jars and bags are my nemeses ...
I think might have been the inspiration for MadTV's "One Minute Meal" sketches withg that girl who couldn't open anything. Ha!
I thought he was gonna take her out. LOL
The ONLY thing I liked about 'Spam' was opening it.
+Crystal Gonzales Ah yes, Spam! Wonderful - IF you made sure the can you bought had that little key still attached AND you didn't get a trip to the emergency room when you sliced your hand open on the can. But fried Spam? Nothin' like it!
+phil rodefer or if the darn key got loose and the metal coil turned into a spring!
Smh!Like opening Dvd's and Cd's!Consumers plight!
Not only was Carol Burnett Show was funny, but right especially this episode. How many items are still very hard to open?
I couldn't stand those sardine cans with the key that would break off halfway through opening them.
They still have those.
I use a tin opener instead then I can avoid the aspirin bottle altogether lol.
Do you know what episode this is from?
ohhh haha that makes more sense :)
I just rip the darn open.
3:30 AHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Madtv did something very similar on a 30 minute meal segment.
You need surgical instruments to open things
Open other side.
Yeah, had a jar of jam that begged 4 a strap wrench.
Alright becomes increasingly more angry...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the middle of the kitchen with milk spoiling on the counter?!
No truth in advertising 🤕
ah come on you haven't lived t until you tried to open those idmudium plastics :)
So now I have to accuse this computer of being connected to who in Pleasanton California? Another muslim group network? or is it the man I named to Stanford Medical University when I was out there in 2006-2008 or so. What a bunch of leeches. Can't let it go??
RebeccaK MacCommons.
Are you ill?
ohhh haha that makes more sense :)
ohhh haha that makes more sense :)
