Me and my dad used to watch this video , the whole time we would laugh together. He liked to quote it which would make me laugh. He passed away 3 months ago and now I’m watching it by myself because I miss him. I love you Dad. ❤️
@@JimL2883 I’m really sorry. I can’t imagine the pain you feel in your heart. Grief is so tough but everyday it gets a little better. Good luck to you and your family Jim. ❤️
I saw this when it first aired. It was the first time I saw a toilet on national television. Times were so different back then. Wonderful talented cast!
I was in the fourth grade when this aired and remember talking about it at school the following Monday. My parents wouldn't let me see the movie JAWS, so this was the alternative. Carroll Burnett Show was hands down the best television show of all time!!!!
I find Tim Conway extremely adorable! Love his eyes. To have been married to him or have grown up in his household must've been a riot. Laughter is an essential must for any marriage. His wife was very lucky.🤗
The highlight of this skit for me had to be the various pieces of toilet hardware being ripped off and blown away. Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman, and Tim Conway (along with Lyle Waggoner and Dick van Dyke) had such great comic chemistry together. Even when flubbing lines, corpsing, and cracking each other up, they didn't feel like mistakes, but additional, unexpected jokes, and we laughed with them laughing with each other. They were hilarious when they couldn't keep a straight face to finish a sketch, and nobody could complain or fault them - we even looked forward to their screw-ups, and bought them recorded separately on tape or disc as their "greatest bloopers"! I can't think of any other show where the cast's little oopsies came out so funny and are so well-remembered.
Having seen the movie Jaws, I had a really good laugh over this sketch, the Jaws references were pretty funny and then of course Tim stealing the show at the end. Harvey's accent sounded almost exactly like Quint's.
I read that this aired one week after Saturday Night Live did their "Jaws II" sketch which introduced the Land Shark to pop culture. So in 1975 you ended up being afraid of swimming in the ocean, a knock at the door and taking a bath.
Korman's old sea captain plumbing accent! and that camera angle.. biggest bathroom ever in any apt! and "good luck ham" aimed right at Korman! Conway knew exactly what he was doing, was watching to see if he cracked Harvey up, and Harvey looking at him as if to say "you just said that, didn't you, you imp!"
The "good luck ham" was scripted. In fact, it was Conway, not Korman, who took three takes to get it without cracking up. The look they exchanged--and the audience reaction--was due to Conway's barely making it through the final take. Somewhere on RUclips you can find the outtakes of this (search on "Conway cracks himself up". In the outtake, Conway called it the "lucky ham"). Hilarious.
I remember in an interview when talking about the infamous elephant bit, Carol said sometimes after dress rehearsal Tim would ask if he could add something to a sketch during taping, but not tell anyone what he had planned. And he would usually get them to break
The "good luck ham"...that's one of the few times Tim Conway almost broke from character. Harvey Korman usually laughed first, but Conway was a rock...except for here. Funny sketch.
I am so old I can remember when television was entertaining. There is more talent in this sketch than the yearly programming today. I love the way they look at Tim like "Where and how does he come up with this?"
Some people keep good luck charms with them wherever they go...things like a rabbit's foot, or a 4 leaf clover, things like that. This girl went around with her "good luck ham" (big chunk of ham, like you'd buy at the grocery store...i dunno how she'd carry it around, but for whatever reason she thought it always brought her good luck), and one day, when she was out boating in the ocean with some friends, she decided to hop off the boat and go for a swim...and she had her "good luck ham" with her (maybe she slung it over her back, using a shoulder bag strap, or something). Only problem was, on that particular day, it didn't bring her good luck, it brought a nearby shark good luck. See, um, sharks love ham as much as we humans do, or something...so the shark went after it (and her). This bit is really bad writing, and the writers on the show knew it, but they went with it anyway...played it for laughs, and it paid off...the TV audience (and i) found it hysterical.
Trev0r98: Wow...and I thought _I_ had a bad habit of over-explaining things! :-) Just kidding you, of course, but it's true for me - I can get lost in the fine, unnecessary details when telling a story. Almost every RUclips comment I make has been greatly edited down to half its original length.
She did an interview once (somewhere here on RUclips) where she said as the youngest and least experienced cast member she didn't think she had earned the right to laugh and break character. I don't know how she managed to keep a straight face!
This first aired when I was 14 and was in a hospital bed recovering from an operation. I had to keep myself from laughing because I thought I would literally bust the stitches! Painfully funny!
+ghoststalking Fitizharris....... yes this is "TRUE" enough but i don't get it how does Tim get from going into the tub & popping up into the sink? since I've "NEVER" seen this one before.
The tub definitely had a trap door because you could see you could sit in there like normal and then drop down in. The camera angle also helped with the backstage magic.
Nobody--not even the audience, I think--noticed that after "Quit" supposedly locks the door and eats the key, the door opens right back up when Korman and Lawrence decide to "go out together." :D
This is legitimately the reason I had such a hard time taking baths and swimming when I was a baby. I lived in Miami so I was constantly tormented so my parents figured out that they had to get in first promise me there were no sharks in the water before I would enter. All because of the skit!
no and Harvey was pretty much up on all the pop culture starring in Mel Brooks blazing saddles and always had that sort of dirty sense of humor about him which is why he popped up in his movies and had a lot of fun I'm sure he was a huge fan of Jaws.. he sure got robertshaw sparked right on the money that was some great tribute to one of the biggest selling movies of all time in 1975
Now you know where they got the idea for "Sharknado" came from!! Most people didn't know it, but Vicki Lawrence could sing, as a matter of fact I owned one of her records when I was a kid. This was the funniest show ever to grace the airwaves!
The story Tim tells at the 6 minute mark was "blooped" in the other recording of this skit (they usually recorded two shows per day before live audiences and then used the best bits for the broadcast). Here's the other version where Tim cracks up: ruclips.net/video/5RM0ZAoFtjQ/видео.html
I was very young when I first saw this. I remember the shark in the tub but what I don't remember but have been told by my parents was that it was a battle to get me into the bathtub for several weeks

Indeed.
Also saw it when it first aired! Was about 10 yrs. old.
I know one place I never saw a toilet... the USS Enterprise
M, m. '. Et
A wonderful parody of a true horror classic! Harvey's take on Robert Shaw's Quint was amazing--He sounded just like him!
The "good-luck ham" line even had Conway himself almost laughing.
There is another clip out there.. Where he does crack up pretty good
He did break up. ruclips.net/video/5RM0ZAoFtjQ/видео.html

Those were “The good old days”.
One of the best movie spoofs. Korman does a killer 'Quint'!
He really does, the accent is spot on!
⛤ A lot of people have forgotten this skit. *Good luck ham*
@SUGAR XYLER Could it be that it should "good luck, ham" as in a person - not meat.
I would love to know what Robert Shaw thought of this spoof by Korman.
@@roderickcowan2075 Shaw made Jaws into a classic movie instead of an afternoon's entertainment.
One of the best sketches ever because Tim made himself break! (While Vicky stayed relatively straight!) Love it
I don't think I even saw Harvey break in this one.
@@sportsygirl8 he was hiding his face when he was scratching the toolbox.
@@chucksherron Oh, I'll have to look closely the next time I watch it.
I remember my dad and I laughing so hard when we saw this on The Carol Burnett Show. Seeing it again brings back great memories
Here's the version where Tim really cracks up: ruclips.net/video/5RM0ZAoFtjQ/видео.html
Harvey's Robert Shaw impression put me over the edge... So inventive.
One of my favorite shows. Tim Conway and Harvey Korman were great in the skits they did together.
Gdobie1 West o
I love that Tim and Harvey are trying hard not to laugh!
This. Is one of their best parodies ever !!!!
Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman , Lional Wagoner and Tom Conway are geniuses !!!!
I will NEVER, get enough of Tim Conway's Good luck ham joke.
Back when comedy was great--have these shows on dvd, Tim Conway is excellent.
yes, back when comedy was great.....now its a joke.
The toilet stuck on his back and Tim jiggled the handle!! Oh my goodness! Hilarious! 🤣
He did the same thing in the war plane sketch , and off course Harvey cracked up....
Having seen the movie Jaws, I had a really good laugh over this sketch, the Jaws references were pretty funny and then of course Tim stealing the show at the end. Harvey's accent sounded almost exactly like Quint's.

So in 1975 you ended up being afraid of swimming in the ocean, a knock at the door and taking a bath.
Truth
Harvey coughing/choking Tim flushes the toilet and suddenly he's fine then Tim jiggles the handle🤣🤣
What a great show. What a great cast.
These comedy geniuses never run out of jokes.
Tim and Harvey together were a barrels of laughs.
I've always loved their movie parodies!
When I go for a swim in the ocean, I leave my good luck Hamm at home. I learned the hard way.
For ne tis a porkchop what is my talisman
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣........golden! 👍

I so remember this skit from when I was kid. Good memories.
😁 I remember it too. You can't forget anything that STUPID
You could tell that Tim improvised that Ham part by the way Harvey looked at Tim .
this was probably one of the first takes of the sketch ruclips.net/video/5RM0ZAoFtjQ/видео.html
Great to have been a teenager during the 'Jaws' era, so much culture built around the film, so many parodies, so many imitations, it was a lot of fun.
Every time I see a shark or someone talks about sharks I name it Jaws.
Land Shark !!!
Agreed. I was 15 in 1975: l'd go back in a heartbeat.
Cynthia Lyman you’re not the only one
@@lookeron2467 "Telegram..."
Harvey was just amazing in this!
"She'd a made it to if she hadn't been wearing her good luck ham." I manage to work this line into my conversation at least once a week.
I remember in an interview when talking about the infamous elephant bit, Carol said sometimes after dress rehearsal Tim would ask if he could add something to a sketch during taping, but not tell anyone what he had planned. And he would usually get them to break

Tim Conway cracked himself up?! I’ve never seen that happen!
“Good Luck Ham”, lol. Tim was notorious for going off script. I suspect that may have been one of his improvs; but, you never know with him.
Carol always has great stuff and this is one of many that always makes me laugh.
I was waiting for Tim to go into the "elephant story"... LOL...
Tim reaching in the cup for the worms, would have been a great spot for his ""Old Man" character.
Carol Burnett and crew best comedy show ever.
RIP Tim Conway, you will be missed.
I am so old I can remember when television was entertaining. There is more talent in this sketch than the yearly programming today.
I love the way they look at Tim like "Where and how does he come up with this?"
"...she'd a made it too, if she hadn't been wearing her good luck ham..." LMAO

I'm surprised that my comment to "GinnieKinz" here wasn't edited down to one third of its original length.
Well, GinnieKinz here didn't understand what "good luck ham" meant, so I 'splained it to her, Lucy.
Norman did a great job as Quint. One of the best skits along with The Interrogator.
I feel like Vicki was the only one who could a straight face...😂😂😂
She may have been digging her fingernails into her palm (or wherever) just to do so.
She did an interview once (somewhere here on RUclips) where she said as the youngest and least experienced cast member she didn't think she had earned the right to laugh and break character. I don't know how she managed to keep a straight face!
She never lost it like Harvey lost it, but there were times where she did crack a smile and giggle every now and again.
No one else could make this funny!!
We’re gonna need a bigger toilet, had me dying of laughter! Comedy gold here!
My father, God rest his soul, loved this sketch...and he had never even seen the movie Jaws!
Tim Conway always added bits that weren't in the script that surprised the cast: here, the good luck ham story!
There were many terrific movie spoofs done on the Burnett show---why hasn't somebody been smart enough to release them all on a DVD set?
This first aired when I was 14 and was in a hospital bed recovering from an operation. I had to keep myself from laughing because I thought I would literally bust the stitches! Painfully funny!
Absolutely hilarious skit, mega talent! ❤️
This jaws parody has to be one of the top 10 funniest....I watch these everday... thank you
“OH I LOVE TO GO PLUMBIN’ WHERE THE WATER IS RUNNIN’...”
We're going to need a bigger toilet.
Pure crazy, how it ever happened to put these two men together, beats me
I grew up during that era and loved it. I hate this era.
Tim in the tub is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
+ghoststalking Fitizharris....... yes this is "TRUE" enough but i don't get it how does Tim get from going into the tub & popping up into the sink? since I've "NEVER" seen this one before.
I am thinking trap doors and little corridors. Back stage magic!
oh, that's how works i think i get ti now!
I agree.
The tub definitely had a trap door because you could see you could sit in there like normal and then drop down in. The camera angle also helped with the backstage magic.
"Shark Week",my favorite time of the year
Now that's real comedy. Perfect writing and acting. L O L :-)
Nobody--not even the audience, I think--noticed that after "Quit" supposedly locks the door and eats the key, the door opens right back up when Korman and Lawrence decide to "go out together." :D
I think everybody noticed it.
it was a timed lock and would open after so many minutes......sounds like a good explanation to me anyway. LOL
I love it when they crack themselves up.
The fake rate skimming across the pipe at the beginning is just hilarious lol...among so many other things in this skit. So funny!
Harvey did a terrific job of impersonating Quint!
Ha ha!!! I remember this episode and that parody was that one of the funniest ones on her show
This is legitimately the reason I had such a hard time taking baths and swimming when I was a baby. I lived in Miami so I was constantly tormented so my parents figured out that they had to get in first promise me there were no sharks in the water before I would enter. All because of the skit!
Wonder if Steven Spielberg ever saw this?
no and Harvey was pretty much up on all the pop culture starring in Mel Brooks blazing saddles and always had that sort of dirty sense of humor about him which is why he popped up in his movies and had a lot of fun I'm sure he was a huge fan of Jaws..
he sure got robertshaw sparked right on the money that was some great tribute to one of the biggest selling movies of all time in 1975
Are we sure that wasn't Robert Shaw impersonating Harvey Korman?
Just couldn't believe Tim and Harvey work so great. Together unbelievable
“I like em bad. Sewage is in my blood. Ha Ha Ha Ha.”
Oh my gosh these skits are divine
Now you know where they got the idea for "Sharknado" came from!! Most people didn't know it, but Vicki Lawrence could sing, as a matter of fact I owned one of her records when I was a kid. This was the funniest show ever to grace the airwaves!
The night the lights went out in Georgia...great song!
I remember my dad and I laughing hysterically at this skit. We quoted it for years after.
Tim's bait look at him in the tub he's too funny🤣🤣
p.s thanks for uploading this video Mike Rogers :=) :=)
I Don't REMEMBER Making This Remark But It Looks Like It Was 1 Year Ago......................................
Probably their best skit.
It's hilarious, but I think their Gone With The Wind parody was one of the funniest skits in TV history.
I never saw Tim Conway so close to breaking character! Ha ha ha
The fake rat being slid across the pipe always makes me laugh, along with the squeaky sound effect. lol.
who else had an irrational fear growing up that something was going to grab you from the tub drain!? so scary and i don't know why
I did! I was about 5 or 6 and watched with my grandparents. I was a fraid of the bathroom for months after!
Hahaha so weird how fears happen like that! I also had the shark in the swimming pool fear too
What about something crawling up the toilet?
Cynical Cthulhu Snakes do that nowadays in Florida.
Cherie Wolfe BECAUSE I AM EVERYWHERE
As a kid, I saw this and SNL Landshark long before I actually saw JAWS on television. Hysterical.
“We’re going to need a bigger toilet 🚽” LMAO 🤣

i got scared by jaws when i was 5.
They were so great
that fish burping , cracked me up..lol
Hilarious!!!!!!!!! " Lucky Ham"
I never leave home without my good luck ham.
Sad we don’t have good shows any more
Precious Memories!
Brilliant! When I was a wee lad, I use to think quint was played by Harvey.
I saw this when it aired!
I was very young when I first saw this. I remember the shark in the tub but what I don't remember but have been told by my parents was that it was a battle to get me into the bathtub for several weeks
No worms were harmed in the making of this sketch🤣
Loved Harvey's Irish accent!
Who can ever forget the famous jaws movie from 75. Done here in perfect comedy form with Tim, Harvey and Vicki
Looks like their standing outside Ralph Kramden's apartment LOL
(The honeymooners)
Yes this was great TV not like the crap today
Love how the toilet joined Harvey when he stood up. He forgot he was strapped in.
Before there was ever a land shark, we had sewer shark.
Handsome Harvey
I always thought Tim was adorable
Carol's show were so damn funny LMAOOOOO LMAOOOOO 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
Years before Sharknado
Blooper, he open the bathroom door, it was locked before and he swallowed the key.
