Vicky, sweetheart, that wasn't a blooper, that was a classic.

I once saw Carrol Burnett tell how "Tim Conway would do rehearsals perfectly, but then when the cameras were on, it was his job to destroy us all!"

Mama (Vicki) not only broke the 4th wall, she demolished it.

Tim Conway owned that stage until Vicki said that one line

No, Tim Conway doing that is what made the show legendary. His line about the Siamese elephants sneezing in that sketch was one of the funniest things ever on TV.

That elephant sketch is STILL one of the funniest things I have seen in my life, and Vicki's line was killer! Wonderful!!!

The Carol Burnett Show was the last of the greatest variety shows on television. Fantastic cast, fantastic show! Wish it could be brought back!

Calling it a blooper is a bit of a misnomer. The bomb Vicki dropped was quite deliberate. And one of the funniest moments in TV history.

Vicki was brilliant as Mama. Her witty comebacks were the best.

I loved Tim Conway. I loved how Harvey Korman was physically incapable of getting through a Conway sketch without laughing. The dentist sketch was like that too. If Conway was involved more than likely someone else would have to leave the scene.

The whole sketch is funny, but for me seeing Tim lose it was incredible!!

I love that she played the whole thing completely straight in character.

Tim was absoutely at the top of his game during that period but Vicky did indeed get him good with that one!

Breaking the 4th wall is what made the show so good!

What Viki said is the REAL punch line to the Elephant story. Tim built up SO MUCH tension with the story. If Viki had said nothing, I think the whole sketch would have flopped. What Viki said was totally inspired!

I saw this when it aired the first time. It was the first time I ever heard a 'dirty word' on TV.

Thinking about it, Tim did the perfect set up for Vicki's comment. That long, convoluted elephant story and Burnett's reaction to it just created the situation that Vicki's character, Mama, needed to add one of the greatest punchlines in comedy.
