Many people leave comments praising the actors and actresses that made up the Carol Burnett Show. That's fine, I agree but I also would love to thank the writers of the show. Carol had some of the best.
Tim Conway’s delivery is just perfectly timed! The man is a riot! +Rest in peace, dear Tim... 🙏
I really wish they made shows like this nowadays. Everything about the Carol Burnett Show is purely entertaining, comedy at its best.
Carol Burnett and Tim Conway brought us happiness just by being so funny. This was pure comedy without the trash and vulgarity that are in TV today. It doesn't get any better than these two. Love them both.
Agreed
Agreed also. Such clean fun.
That's Vicki Lawrence
that was Vicki Lawrence. but yes the carol Burnett show was and is still the best they don't make tv like this anymore and it's pretty sad.
You can compliment something without criticizing and comparing it to something else
I bought an Electrolux vacuum from a door to door salesman back in 1974. It still works great! It looks just like this one!
The vacuum from this skit is an Electrolux model 30.
@@RobXHEphotosPs37.29 I have no idea what model mine is, I’ll have to check.
I have an old Electrolux too, have had it for 30 years and I bought it reconditioned. The darned thing still works like a brand new model. I don't know how old it is but is a similar appearance to the one used in the skit.
0:54 I'm pretty sure he just walked in the door and people started laughing! Conway was something truly special!
RIP Tim. I'm sure you have all the angels laughing 😅
As a kid, as I lay in my bedroom at night. I listened to my mom and dad have a vacuum cleaner salesman talked for two hours, they bought one it lasted 25 years, the marriage didn't! Love this show!!!
Who got the vacuum cleaner in the divorce?
@@squirt3393 😅
She must’ve paid off the difference with a swear cuz he never touched it. She did All the housework he only paid for it.

I'm only a 23 year old but I honestly vouch with people in the comments about certain appliances from back then lasted years. Being from parents growing up during the 60s and 70s, I always hate how the things they have that are older then me last way longer then things made now a days. We had our fridge for 25-30 years that worked like a dream, and then they got a new one last year that broke within the first month. This century is taking a downturn that only Carol Burnett can fix with laughter 🙏🏻
@NvdVeen That was the manufacturers issue, built to last. They eventually worked out that making them cheaper with a shorter life would make a lot more money. Clever for the company, not so good for the consumer.
Everything I have is old (including me), my GE frig 70 years, my old toaster almost 90 years & my new microwave is almost 40 years old!
Tim still cracks me up....apparently he does that to all the cast and their techs.....an icon of humour and wit....!
Ah Tim, I won't forget you, Sir. You never failed to make me laugh.
I swear Tim Conway could make ANYTHING funny! Effortless! Love him!
He definitely had remarkable talent.
Agree to this wholeheartedly
When I was a newlywed in 1967 a salesman came by the apartment and demonstrated a Riccar sewing machine which I bought for three monthly payments of $30.00. That thing has worked perfectly for nearly fifty years, probably because I followed his directions to oil it frequently. I often think of him and especially while watching this video.

Lucy Mcgillicuddy I love your name lol
I have a Sunbeam mixmaster that I bought at a garage sale for $10.00 and it is over 55 years old works perfect.
Now that was a good buy! My mother had a "Mixmaster" too!
What's a sewing machine?
This episode always makes me laugh. Vicky Lawrence is an amazing actor.
Vicky Lawrence is THE BEST!!!
Actress
I remember loving the show as a child . The sketches are timeless and fun to watch. 🇨🇦
Agree!!!
🇨🇦👍😊 Got to go. Thank you for your reply.
I would like to thank everyone who made the showing of these skits and the Carol Burnett Show for allowing us to watch them now during the lock down. I laugh so hard until my stomach muscles hurt. Take a rest until the next day. They really had a great team.
Discovered this just about two months ago and have been watching about one a day. but today I watched two in a row. Really needed the pure laughter. The times right now aren't too pleasant so this helps quite a bit
Tim Conway was awesome on this show - always had me in stitches. On McHale's Navy too. Father Time is catching up with him now - God bless and thank you so much for the laughs, Mr. Conway.
Oh my! That brings back memories of a vacuum salesman trying to sell to my parents. That man stayed in our house till very late at night. He just would not take the hint. Dad finally had to get forceful and had to push him out. That was over 50 years ago.
Tim Conway was a favorite of my grandmother every week on Carol show. He was unique
I really want to know how much of his skits Tim improv'd on the spot and caught others off-guard and cracked 'em up
Now THAT'S a salesman ! Make the customer want to show you the damn product ! lol !
The Carol Burnett Show, priceless comedy from my youth ! I miss those TV days...
Yeah, I was waiting for an ending where he went outside and reported to his boss, "Yep, sold another one, that approach works great!" Lol
@@philipleaning9355, yep, I was expecting him to get the money and bust out laughing while walking out the door.
@@senatorjosephmccarthy2720 Or better still, create such confusion that the lady leaves the house and the salesman sees her out.
When I was a kid a Rainbow vacuum salesman came to our house. My mom let the guy do his demonstration where he dumped salt on the living room carpet and vacuumed it up. Well, it didn't work too great. For several years thereafter, Mom was complaining about the salt that wouldn't come out of the carpet. 😂
that looks like the old Electrolux vacuums we had
Tim Conway was a comic Genius!!!!
Reminds me of when my mother and Aunt both wanted a very specific Electrolux Vacuum cleaner. Expensive but worth the investment. They arranged for a sales rep to come over and my Aunt was also there. The guy went through the ENTIRE presentation. Mom kept interrupting him to say, "You don't have to do this. We each want to buy one." But he went on for almost 45 minutes. It was weird. But in the "olden days" people had work ethics, so maybe he felt he had to do something to earn his money. 🤔 Not like these days. 🤑 LL 🙋🏻♀️✝🇨🇦
That's an Electrolux. My Dad was a salesman. 50 years ago.
I love seeing skits that I've never seen before.
I once let a double glazing salesman pitch for five hours. They cold called me, I told his manager that I wouldn't be signing until I had got three quotes. Also told the patronising salesman the same thing as soon as he arrived. I opened a box of chocolates for 'lunch'. As he was leaving with me not buying he suggested I made out a personal cheque to him for the deposit, and if I changed my mind he would destroy the cheque. I got my cheque book out, his face lit up. I put the pen on the cheque book, he was happy. Then I told him that I wanted to get three more quotes. He left slamming the door.
This is hilarious!!! Tim Conway at his best!!
beautiful souls american people have I miss that youth and good spirits american people use to have in those days
I feel the same. It's all the social engineering from hollyweird and media, music..Predictive programming, degradation of the soul nothing with constant sexually explicit themes, lyrics, violence, money, materialism etc etc etc. It's not organic, it's done purposely and always getting worse
I remember my father putting the Rainbow Vacuum Salesman through two hours of hell making him demo every feature: sucking water out of the toilet - then blowing the water back out; vacuuming out our dirty fireplace... Then making him vacuum our entire house. Meanwhile, my father is poring highballs insisting that the salesman drink with him. Eventually, my father broke out the checkbook since the poor guy definitely worked for it. In 1974, $1200 for a vacuum was a lot of money, but my dad said it was a fair deal since the guy drove at least 15-20 miles from the nearest town out to our ranch, and the fact he was such a good sport.
Wow... $1200 still seems an enormous amount of money for a vacuum cleaner! Or am I missing something here? I've never heard of the Rainbow brand, maybe because I'm from Europe (The Netherlands). I see they're still in business. I'm 33 years old and I cannot recall any door-to-door sales practices here. Well, except for the Jehova's Witness trying to sell God every once in a while.
Those were great vacuum cleaners. I bet a lot of 1974's are still running strong
Jay Nielsen Holy Cow!!! 1200 bucks??!! That is still alot of cash for a vacuum cleaner, but in the 70s, that was a fortune.
@@DGA2000 Yep. My brother bought one back then. Still uses it, since it's the only vacuum he has (or ever had). I asked him about it a couple years ago, and says it still works as good as when he bought it. Loves it. He wont use anything else.
Funny
Theys guys are absolutely amazing and funny. Love this show!
So funny! Really enjoy watching these shows!
I remember about 30 years ago when the Kirby vacuum came out and this guy came over and demonstrated it and he says I'm sure you people are very clean and he turned the vacuum on and I couldn't believe the dirt that came up that was a great vacuum and when my mother saw that she couldn't believe her eyes and we bought it right there
Just the intro-music to this sketch takes me back. It sounds so peaceful and inviting. I remember watching the CBS at my Grandma's on Saturday nights.....
These old shows made a kid so happy way back then... especially Eunice!
We had a vacuum cleaner salesman years ago demonstrate for us .He freaked right out when we didn’t buy one. He slammed everything away and fussed and fumed. We stood there not knowing what to do. My husband said something like” Gee,you won’t sell anything with that attitude”. The poor guy slammed out the door.
I can relate to this - I was a salesman for the fabulous, majestic, Triple Crown Filter Queen; not just a vacuum cleaner but a whole home care system. LOL
Filter Queen is still a great product.
I had my filter queen for 20 yrs. Gave it away because I wanted a more modern one. Sure wish I had it now. NEVER had ANY issues with it. We have tried or went through at least 5 in the past 10 yrs. Everyone of them were garbage compared to my filter queen. 😪
E. C. Stout I bought one. 😂🤣
My Triple Crown Filter Queen that you sold me, quit the other day. Can you come back and repair it or give me my money back?
We had a Filter Queen. We didn't need a new vacuum but mom liked the sales guy. He then started visiting for coffee every few months. My mom was married but it was cool, the sales guy brought his girlfriend. [lol]
Not much makes me laugh anymore but this does!
After all these years, still crack the hell out of me
Many years ago, when I was much younger, I worked one day as a door to door vacuum salesman selling Kirby vacuums. They sent a team of us to gangland to sell $1500 vacuums to people who couldn’t afford to patch the bullet holes in the sides of their houses. My trainer drank beer out of a McDonalds cup and left me alone to do a demonstration for people who couldn’t speak English. I tried to quit half way through but he wouldn’t take me back to the warehouse until we were out there for at least 8 hrs. It was one of the worst days of my life. The end.
Sue the bastards.
I Love your perseverance!! Thanks, made me laugh!!
I remember those days!

😂 I live in the town that the Kirby vacuums are made. My brother has worked there almost 30 years, you probably sold one he made.
I almost sold vacuum cleaners. But during the training the trainer showed us some tricks to selling and I left half way through the training as I wouldn’t trick people into buying a vacuum for $2500.
I remember a microwave oven salesman coming to our house for a demonstration and it was as big as a tv and he amazed us by heating up water!
To think back in the day people and especially women let total strangers into their homes like this like it was no big deal.
I was thinking the same thing. I can remember when the Kirby vacuum salesman came into our home. It was just me & my mom. He cleaned the living room carpet, the sofa & the drapes. Then he said $750. My mom lost her religion. I don't think he sat down for a month after that. 😂
And so free to make some Banging while the Husband is away.....
News
That crossed my mind. And Ted Buddy was active during this decade so dependent on where you were it probably wasn’t safer.
Yeah, how do you think so many people were abducted and killed during the 70s and 80s? People were far too trusting.
for you vacuum enthusiasts, thats a Kirby attachment box with attachments :-). and an Electrolux vacuum
Must be run by the Obama administration.
steeltag I thought so.
I remember our old electrolux.
.that thing lasted forever in the 60s
steeltag I recognized both. My grandmother had both kinds. I remember using them too.
@@MsFutureguy I have one like that that is still running
I never forgot that flashlight on a too-short keychain. I use it every chance I get 😊
I remember vacuum sales man came to our place gave his demonstration .my mom went straight to her vacuum came out n said " my vacuum here could suck you n your vacuum up together .he put something in the carpet n his vacuum could not pick it up.never forget that.
gumbys poke Lol. Really?
serious she had one of those hot new filter queens .
That looks like the model that was my grandmother's from probably the 1940's which I still have that works. Mine that I bought in 1978 is still working well. Mine has wheels and hers have runners. I use hers to vacuum our cars. I bought an upright once because people told me that it was lighter and easier and the belt broke after a few months and had continual problems so I got rid of it. Nothing you buy today will be running in 40+ years.
Back in the day, you could buy anything from a door to door salesperson. Cosmetics, Bibles, Encyclopedia, Dictionary, Vaccuum cleaners just to name a few. Who remembers "Ding Dong Avon Calling? lol
Yeah, and they were annoying.
I liked doing Fuller Brush. Things are a little different today. Still Love people.
I sold insurance, encyclopedias, Christmas cards, Grit newspaper, Kirby vacs...
And AMWAY.
We used to get a door to door knife/scissor sharpener.
This skit was hilarious. I loved it.
Salesman of the year! I'm glad he didn't work for Welcome Wagon. Anyone remember them? Green stamps? Full service gas stations?
(I was a whipper snapper back then. Now, I dropped the W and I'm just a hipper snapper!)
Remember them all. Becareful you don't end up being a snapper of that hipper. 😉😊🙃
its an Electrolux and yes they did work very nicely, you can tell how quiet it was that is how they sounded so she actually turned it on. a machine of that quality today would cost probably several hundred dollars. I have one from that era that still works well. I think they are now called Aerus.
Is this going to take long 😂 I sure will miss you Mr Conway.
If only this stuff would last as long as it use to..... better days gone by
He is irreplacable in comedy as is Carol Burnett!;D
Vicki Lawrence is also as irreplaceable as Carol Burnett. In fact, I think Vicki could have replaced Carol. Hmm . . . .
My sister sold Kirby vacuums in the early 2000s. Gotta share this with her!
That sure took a crazy spin. lol
Electrolux Model XXX (which I have and still works) and Kirby attachment box. LOL!
Back in the day when I remember salesmen going door to door selling vacuums, encyclopedias, bibles, and other household items. I always looked forward to the new encyclopedias.
I got a big chuckle out of all you're comments. Thanks for the laughs and silly memories.
Always loved this show!! Lots of laughs!
Tim Conway walks into a room and says nothing.
.......room erupts into raucous laughter.
How am I angry and laughing my head off at the same time?
When I was a kid, we had this vac, in the 60's and 70's.
3:42 "Well, is this going to take long?"
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Skit was conceptual brilliance
R.I.P. Tim Conway🙁
I’m used to seeing her as Granny on mamas family. I didn’t realize what a nice looking lady she was. Humor is great medicine for the soul. Gosh if you can laugh and keep a sense of humor that’s a great thing.
I have never seen this skit. Loved it.
Sad & funny at the same time!
Tim Conway never rehearsed so you never new what he was going to do .he had every body busting up laughing
I remember my Mom had an upright Kirby vacuum cleaner. The box of attachments looked a lot like the one in this video. These days all the attachments are onboard.
The attachment case is from the Kirby Classic model 1CR (1970-1973).
I bought a $37 vacuum 5 years ago and I'm still happy. Can't imagine spending hundreds or having to buy bags and stuff for it.
Que maravillosa Carola Burnett ...inspiradores...gracias
Thank you for bringing back good memories
That looks like an Electrolux..best vacuum ever! My mom banged that thing up the stairs every Saturday morning during cartoons 😂
Tim was so funny.
I still have a an Electrolux vacuum like that still works to this day
My Olympia vacuum outcleans anything new. Someone was throwing it out, I recovered it, have used it for over twenty five years!
And I sold Electrolux vacuums, very hard to sell door to door. Wasn't any good, but I still believe in their vacuums till this day!
How old is it?
And, we still have our 30-year old, $1400 Kirby and it still works just fine.
Same here! I bought mine by the month and established credit with it! It still works!
Very funny! Love Carol Lawrence!
4:52 "How much is this?"
"I don't know, here, look it up."
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
@Robin D S That was pretty funny, wasn't it! How are you doing? I'm still struggling of course...
those tank model vacuums really cleaned and were great - the cheap stuff we have today does not work with a (you know what) and the filters are ridiculously over priced - don't look now fellow Americans - we been had!
I love how I can still hear "Momma" in Vicky's voice in this skit. I can just imaging her saying in "Mamma voice", "Well Good Lord what is the matter with you!"
Tim Conway, God rest your soul! You were a genius!!!!
Looks like an old 1950s Electrolux vacuum cleaner. I googled it after watching this sketch!
I bought mine in the early 1970’s.
In the early 1960s my father sold vacuums on the weekends. One day I stayed home from school and was locked in my room but with my dads vacuum sample. I took it apart so much he had to buy it. I grew up to be an industrial mechanic
I love my old Electrolux!
That vacuum cleaner looks like an old Electro-Lux.
I remember the vacuum salesman came to the door when i was a kid and my mom told him to come back when my dad got home. He came back and stayed for hrs it seemed like. He sold us a vacuum called the little green pig. I wish i still had it.
Oh yes, I remember those. I don't remember the actual name of it, but we also called it the green pig, LMAO!
You're talking about the Compact. It changed its name to Tri-Star. They were green, they were gold, they changed to red and then red with a black bottom and finally silver with a black bottom. I used to sell them for $1500 in 1986. Great vacuum.
Is this gonna take long? Great line from Tim.
and all the actors who acted with him including Carol Burnett, congrats!!!!!
lol reminds me of Kirby salesperson which they can't understand why I am not paying $1500 for a vacuum.
I wish he was still around! Such a good actor.
Sales clerks in the mall ... just add a cell phone and it's identical😆
I heard a saleslady tell a young couple (they were going out the door) to go shop other stores and they'd find a sofa they could afford... the man bought a sofa from her! It was a weird tactic but it worked. I sold a king mattress once by suggesting his wife would fuss at him for buying it! LOTS of strange closes... but if it works... it works!
Beautiful!
thanks for uploading this video The Carol Burnett Show Official :=) :=)
Tim Conway was brilliant. Has anyone here had a vaccuum salesman come to their house? I have!!! Damn I'm getting old. And having glass bottles of milk delivered to your door! Those were the days!!!
The Home Juice Company had the best Orange Juice!!!
Tim Conway was hilarious...
I used to sell Rainbow vacuums in West Virginia. No one had money.
Jeff Alger especially for a 3000 dollar vacuum
Amazing machines - water filtration - just incredible.
Jeff Alger I got an old one at a flea market. Best darn vacuum I’ve ever had. It lasted a long time!
I also tried that, in Victoria B.C. in 1986, superb product but too expensive. I lost money trying to sell them because my old car guzzled so much fuel. Gave up after a week of no sales.
Geez, this skit is so old, that vacuum cleaner is an antique now! 😆
Door to door sales in real must have been a pain. I feel sorry for the people of that time who had to put up with them.
This reminds me of my days selling Filter Queens for Healthmore back in 1949.
