One of the funniest ever on television had to have been Tim Conway. The man has timing as good as Jack Benny. If you are feeling blue or just in a sad mood, check out this clip from YouTube.

For those not familiar with American TV, Carol Burnett (she is the lady in the brown dress) has a comedy show back in the 70's. Although she was very funny, she never minded somebody stealing the show. Tim Conway could just start to ad-lib and take away the show.

In this scene they were playing a board game and all of a sudden he just started to talk!

Hi rich, have a nice day

Tim Conway is indeed very much hilarious! The way he starts talking about the Siamese elephant and the way he tells about whether he does not know whether that is true or not is simply awesome. He laughs to himself and suddenly, he starts talking when they least expect him to!

Such comedians with perfect timing are very rare. Some fail to get the timing, but Tim is excellent! But, I still love the standup comedies by my favorite Rowan Atkinson ! He is amazingly hilarious rofl! Watching his videos picks up my mood! Why not give it a try:

Rowan Atkinson in Hell : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UbqZ_oN5do

That is awesome and hilarious! I could not stop laughing - they way he represents himself is excellent! lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. richnai (5180)  2 years ago

Thank's Kar! I only saw him as Mr. Bean before! Very funny guy! rofl


myLot reputation of 84/100. kar295rocks (1239)  2 years ago

He is extremely funny! See his stand up comedy as a teacher of a class :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xneXRYvKWs

myLot reputation of 99/100. richnai (5180)  2 years ago

Hi syankee!

I remember his first show way back when...Mork from Ork! I think that was his first show, anyway! Funny guy!

Are you old enough to remember Jack Benny or Jackie Gleason! I really love the old guys because most of their stuff was done live!


myLot reputation of 91/100. syankee525 (5263)   ranked 2 out of 5 in classic television comedians  2 years ago

lol i do remember them, but not that old. lol.


myLot reputation of 99/100. richnai (5180)  2 years ago

check out tim doing the denist one..


myLot reputation of 99/100. richnai (5180)  2 years ago

Yes, that one is great too. I had a hard time deciding which ones to post...I had to do the elephant as it is one of the most funny things I have seen but the dentist is crazy too!

I felt sorry when Harvey Korman died. Bet he is making jokes in heaven!

Hi Richnai,

That was awesome. I had forgotten just how funny Tim Conway was! It has been years since I've seen him. Without a doubt, he was one of the funnier ones. I really think they all complimented each other so well actually. The expressions of Carol Burnett made him even funnier. lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. richnai (5180)  2 years ago

Thank you sid! He was definitely brilliant! Carol Burnett did make him funnier...and she was always so gracious to let him go off at anytime. When I mentioned that I watch that skit so many times a year I was not kidding.

As you probably know by now I love to clown around a lot, but when I do get a little cranky that is a three minute dose of fantastic medicine!

I was hoping more people would add some more clips but it is hard to stop watching these goofy people who make us crack up!

Happy that I refreshed your memory!happy

I love Caroll Burnett,she's so funny on her show.I'm also a big fan of Jackie Gleason,he had a show in the 50's,"Honeymooners".He's so great on that show.I like the old time shows alot better than the ones out today.


myLot reputation of 99/100. richnai (5180)  2 years ago

Thanks Java! I used to like Jackie Gleason as well.

Even before the "Honeymooners" he had so many different characters! Remember when he used to go on his infamous diets and bring out the scale on the stage? w00t


myLot reputation of 97/100. Java09 (1608)   ranked 4 out of 5 in classic television comedians  2 years ago

I watched some of the Jackie Gleason show,that's very funny too.He had some good skits.He played different funny characters.Yeah,it was funny when he'd go on a diet.He even tried on a few episodes of the Honeymooners.I watch him online.I do searches on youtube for tv shows that aren't on anymore.I even love the Little Rascals,they were so funny too.

rolleyes a couple weeks or so ago i made a discussion with Red Skelton youtube link. it was fun. i wonder what ever happened to tim conway. and did you ever see mamas family show when they started that? it didnt last long. i used to watch it faithfully also as i did carol burnetts show. thumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. richnai (5180)  2 years ago

I will have to look for that discussion. Probably posted prior to my joining or making your friendship. He was also a great comedian and probably one of the few that really cracked up with his own jokes!

Mama's family was also great. It was a time when silliness had its merit!

Tim Conway is still going strong and funny as can be. I just saw this on google:

http://www.postcrescent.c...

A very nice article! As always, bunnybon, thanks for your comments! happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7713)   ranked 3 out of 5 in classic television comedians  2 years ago

thumbup yes it is. thanks. thats some good reading. now i know hes still around and carol to. its so sad about carol burnetts daughter dieing a few years ago from skin cancer. she had so many tattoos.probably caused it.sad

When this show was on I was in my early teens and my family and I would watch every week. Tim is funny! I laugh all the way through it.lolThey sure don't make them like they used to. Thanks for sharing.

Take care my friend
Snow


myLot reputation of 99/100. richnai (5180)  2 years ago

Hi snow! He and some of the others of that era were so funny. Now everything seems to have to be taped and live audiences are a thing of the past. No more spontaneity anymore...only scripts!

The kids now have a lot of advantages that we did not, but we have some memories that they can never have.
