“WHEN THREE PEOPLE TRY NOT TO LAUGH… AND FAIL GLORIOUSLY.” 😂 Every time that old Carol Burnett swine-flu sketch pops up again, it feels like stepping right back into a living room in the ’70s. Tim Conway walks in as Dr. Percy, twitching like a busted wind-up toy and chewing on a banana peel like it’s the most normal thing in the world. Harvey Korman tries to stay serious but completely falls apart — that shaky, helpless laugh he could never hide. And poor Carol… she holds on as long as she can, eyes darting, lips pressed tight, until Tim does one more ridiculous twitch and she loses it, too. It’s messy, silly, totally unplanned — the kind of chaos that somehow turns into TV gold. Just three legends trying to keep a straight face… and making history instead.

Tim Conway’s Hilarious “Adverse Reaction to Shots” Skit on The Carol Burnett Show

In one of the most unforgettable moments from The Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway delivers comedy gold as Dr. Percy — a doctor who volunteers to take a series of experimental shots in hopes of discovering a cure for swine flu. What begins as a normal dinner outing quickly spirals into chaotic brilliance once Dr. Percy starts experiencing unusual (and hysterically unexpected) side effects.

A Doctor Who Doesn’t Mind Shots… Until They Hit Back

Nobody enjoys getting shots — except, apparently, Tim Conway’s Dr. Percy. In this classic restaurant scene, Tim sits with fellow doctors played by Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman, proudly explaining that he has taken multiple injections for medical research.

Everything seems perfectly fine… until he steps away from the table.

When Dr. Percy returns, it’s immediately obvious something is very, very wrong — and the audience feels the laughter bubbling before a single word is spoken.

Harvey Korman Completely Loses It

As Dr. Percy begins exhibiting “porky” behaviors — from munching on a banana peel to making bizarre noises — Harvey Korman tries desperately to keep a straight face. As usual, he fails spectacularly.

Harvey’s shoulders shake, his expression cracks, and he spends nearly the entire sketch trying not to burst out laughing. It’s one of the reasons fans adore these classic sketches: Harvey’s inability to remain serious made every performance even funnier.

Carol Burnett Holds Strong… Until She Doesn’t

Carol manages to hold her composure far longer than Harvey, but as Tim’s antics escalate — and the “side effects” spread to her as well — even she can’t resist joining in the absurdity.

By the final moments of the skit, the entire cast and audience are howling. The chemistry between Tim, Carol, and Harvey is undeniable, and their genuine affection for one another shines through every line, every reaction, and every improvised moment.

A Perfect Showcase of Tim Conway’s Comedic Genius

This skit is pure Conway: subtle physical humor, unexpected twists, and an ability to derail a serious moment with a single expression. Even decades after it first aired, the sketch continues to delight fans of all ages.

Watching Tim Conway “feel porky” is a reminder of why The Carol Burnett Show remains one of the greatest comedy programs in television history — and why Tim, Harvey, and Carol are still celebrated as some of the finest comedic performers to ever grace a stage.

“THE MOMENT HARVEY KORMAN LOST THE FIGHT… AND TIM CONWAY KNEW IT.” 😂 It’s funny how one tiny look can set everything off. In that old Carol Burnett sketch, Tim walks in with that ridiculous accent, and you can see Harvey trying so hard to stay serious. His lips twitch. His shoulders shake. And that’s it — the whole scene starts coming apart. Tim keeps pushing it… a wrong step here, a stretched-out line there. The uniforms are a mess, the script disappears, and suddenly they’re just two grown men trying not to fall over laughing on live TV. And when Tim ends up standing there in those legendary striped underwear? You don’t even need the punchline anymore — you’re already laughing. Because moments like that weren’t planned. They were just pure, beautiful chaos… the kind we still miss today.

“WHEN ONE MAN DECIDED CHAOS WAS FUNNIER THAN THE SCRIPT.” It started like any other sketch — lights steady, lines ready, everyone breathing slow. Then Tim Conway opened his mouth… and the whole thing fell apart in the best way possible. He “forgot” what to say, froze like a statue, and let out those ridiculous coughs that pushed Carol Burnett right to the edge. You could see her shoulders shaking, trying so hard not to lose it. But Tim kept going with those slow blinks and that innocent little smile, like he had no idea he was wrecking everyone on set. By the end, the crowd was howling, Carol had tears in her eyes, and Tim just sat there — calm, proud, and absolutely unstoppable. One man, one moment… pure, beautiful chaos. 😂

“GRIEF HAS A SOUND — AND TONIGHT, WE HEARD IT.” Billy Strings was halfway through the song when something inside him just… broke. The guitar kept ringing, but he stopped, head down, breath shaking. For a moment, it felt like the whole room leaned in with him. He whispered Todd Snider’s name the way someone whispers family — soft, careful, like it still hurts. Billy tried to keep singing “Play a Train Song,” but his voice cracked on the next line, and he laughed this tiny, shaky laugh that made everyone’s chest tighten. It didn’t feel like a tribute. It felt like goodbye… said by someone who wasn’t ready to say it.
