Comedians

Tim Conway had the Mamas Family cast cracking up in this classic sketch. Much like everyone in the cast, you will not be able to keep a straight face once Tim enters the scene. Watch the short but hysterically funny clip to see what Tim did that had everyone breaking character. Comedy, like everything else in life, requires practice and hard work. Not everyone will have audiences bursting into uncontrollable bouts of laughter after taking the stage for the first time. It requires understanding what jokes work, which ones dont and which ones should be tweaked and altered slightly. Comedians also must familiarize themselves with timing and use it to their advantage. However, other individuals are just naturally gifted when it comes to comedy. Some people cant help but be funny. The late Tim Conway was one of those people. He could do absolutely anything give a look, say a line or even just a word and have entire audiences rolling with laughter. He did this time and again on The Carol Burnett Show. In fact, he often caused his castmates, those in the skit with him, to break character, causing them to laugh out loud as well. In a clip posted on YouTube, Tim does precisely that, only moments after he walks into the scene. It wasnt even what he said that had Harvey Korman, Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence unable to keep a straight face. It was how he delivered a line that helped to make this skit an absolute classic! Tim, playing Mickey, walks into the store and immediately greets Eunice and Mama. Its clear from Eunices reaction that she is not thrilled to see him despite his pleasantries toward her. However, its how Mickey greeted Mama that caused everyone to burst out laughing. Hi, Mother Harper! Tim says, yelling while standing inches away from her. Did you see the new paint job in here? You got good color, Mother Harper, Tim later adds. I like your blue hair! At that point, all three Harvey, Carol and Vicki cannot keep a straight face. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

A comedian hilariously nailed the answer to this question from his wife. Even though most people would have considered this an odd question with an obvious answer, he still managed to answer correctly. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what his wife asked him, and his response to her inquiry. It's been said time and again that communication is of the utmost importance, and it's true. Relationships are all about communication. If there isn't clear and constant communication, relationships break down and eventually will cease to exist. Communication is essential in a marriage. A constant dialogue, a back-and-forth between a husband and a wife, is necessary and crucial to maintaining a healthy and functioning marriage. Anyone who has been married for any amount of time knows this to be the case. Again, if there is no communication, the relationship will break down, and those bonds will no longer exist. Over time, simply by being with someone, you'll learn how they think, react and communicate. You'll also learn what they are trying to say even when they aren't saying it. Husbands know this all too well. A clip posted on YouTube proves that one comedian, Jeff Allen, knew exactly what his wife was trying to tell him with one question that appeared to have a very obvious answer. My favorite question, we weren't married two months, Jeff said. I'm leaving the house. I've got golf clubs on my shoulder. Got golf shoes in my hand, and everybody knows what she asked me. 'Where you going?' He gave an answer that wasn't exactly the best at that time. However, later in the clip, after having been married for years, he demonstrated that he knew better than to answer that way again. Instead, when she asked him where he was going with all of his golf equipment, he went outside and started mowing the lawn. James 1:19 You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

Even on the sidewalk, Tim Conway cant help but deliver comedy gold. The comedic legend found himself sitting near his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His interactions with people are hysterical. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see what happened when the iconic funnyman took a seat on the side of the road. There are just some names that are associated and synonymous with certain things. For instance, whenever someone says McDonalds, you immediately know they are talking about those locations with the Golden Ms that serve Big Macs. Additionally, when the names Ford and Chrysler are mentioned, automobiles are the primary topic of discussion. The same can be said when it comes to the world of comedy, too. Tim Conway is a name associated with comedy. He was a comedic genius who could get entire audiences laughing themselves silly with a simple look or strangely pronounced word. Often, his hysterical antics even caused his castmates, particularly Harvey Korman, to lose their composure, causing them to burst into laughter. In a clip posted on YouTube, the legendary Tim Conway took a seat next to his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. While sitting on the sidewalk, Tim interacted with several fans and even people simply passing by. During those back-and-forths, he displayed his quick wit and trademark humor that made him a beloved star and comedic legend. You will most certainly get a kick out of watching him graciously and hilariously respond to everyone in the video. It shows how he did not take himself too seriously and was able to make fun of himself. In the clips opening moments, Tim tells the camera that hell probably have to step away for a moment and sign an autograph for an approaching fan. Hilariously, the man walks right by him without even looking. Its clear that even without a script, the late Tim Conway was a truly hilarious performer, making it completely understandable why so few of his castmates on The Carol Burnett Show could keep a straight face. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

One dads hilarious parenting tactic has turned housework into pure entertainment. He has devised a simple yet ingenious way to complete household chores efficiently, while exerting little to no effort. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see this fathers move that will have you rolling with laughter long after the clip ends. Obligations are rarely, if ever, fun. No one wants to feel compelled and required to do something. However, every adult understands obligations and responsibilities all too well. There is an endless list of things in life that we are obligated to do, likely none of which we would do otherwise. Nevertheless, because doing things we dont necessarily want to do is part of being a fully functional human being, we do them anyway. When thinking of those obligations, you can likely rattle them off easily and without much thinking. One activity that is likely to be on your list of requirements and obligations is household chores. Cleaning up around the house is no ones idea of fun, but it has to be done because who wants to live in a pigsty? A clip posted on YouTube has come up with a hilariously clever way that makes housework much easier. Instead of doing the work around the house, he has farmed it out to his daughter, teaching her how to perform various cleaning activities. To help you out, he shows how it is possible to get a child to do the housework. Gday, and welcome to this instructional video on how to get a baby to clean the house, he said. Basically, the babies, theyll do anything. So, you just ask them to do it. The rest of the hysterical clip shows the father asking his youngster to do various things around the house, and she does her best, considering her young age. Sure, he has to lend a hand from time to time, but he has this system down pat. Proverbs 22:6 If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.

John Crist's funny response to a pastor's disappointing move has everyone laughing. Clearly, no one would ever see Johns reaction coming. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what a pastor was caught doing and hear how John proposed responding to the minister's action. The world would be a much better place if we all exercised a little more common courtesy. Most people would agree with that statement. If we all considered others on a more regular and consistent basis, what kind of change and improvement would that make in our lost and fallen world? Sadly, our needs, wants and desires are often prioritized over those of others, and we're all guilty of doing so. While everyone has their imperfections and flaws, we can all agree that individuals who don't put their shopping carts back are some of the worst among us. It requires minimal effort to return a cart you used while shopping to the cart corral, but even then, some people still refuse to do so. Instead, they leave it scattered about in the parking lot where it could potentially hit and scratch someones car. So, what would you do if you saw the pastor of your church do that? How would you react? In a clip posted on YouTube, John mentions how he would respond, ensuring that the pastor saw it. The minister would know, without a doubt, that someone saw their disappointing actions with a shopping cart in the parking lot. If you sign up to be a pastor, that, that is fair criticism of you, John, a pastor's kid, said. They pass around the envelope for the offering, they pass around the offering, I'm just going to put a photo of that in there. This short clip reminds us that people are always watching and want to see if our actions line up with the words that come out of our mouths. James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.

Comedian Aaron Weber named the bizarre thing he played with as a child. The popular funnyman mentioned that he had an unusual object that, for some reason, became his favorite toy. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear Aaron name the object and why it caused his parents some concern. As every parent knows, children love playing with toys. Throughout a youngsters childhood, they will accumulate a substantial number of toys. However, not every child's toy is created equal. Children will naturally gravitate toward one toy or another, essentially becoming attached to it. If that object were to go missing, watch out, because a massive meltdown is sure to follow. When it comes to what toys children gravitate toward and prefer, it is predictable. Many girls will prefer baby dolls, easy-bake ovens and tea sets. Meanwhile, most boys enjoy playing with remote-control cars, BB guns, those little plastic Army men and other action figures. However, as Aaron mentioned in a clip posted on YouTube, he did not prefer any of those stereotypical toys. There was something else entirely that he preferred. Instead of Play-Doh or a Lite-Brite, Aaron liked the spatula. Yes, the standard, everyday kitchen item was his toy of choice. He said he learned this information during a phone call with his mother. And my mom goes, 'No, no, yeah, you mostly just played with the spatula,' he said his mother told him. I was like, 'Well, this is going to be a longer phone call than I thought. Did you say the spatula? Like a toy spatula? No, like my spatula from the kitchen.' Later in the clip, Aaron said his mother admitted that his parents found this rather odd. 'We talked about it every night,' he recalled his mother telling him. 'Every night, your dad and I were like, 'We don't know what's going on with this kid.' Proverbs 22:6 If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.

Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman show what can happen when honesty goes too far. The two comedic legends are a married couple in this classic skit from The Carol Burnett Show. Watch the short but laugh-out-loud funny clip to see what occurs when they are entirely, 100 percent honest with one another. Its been said that honesty is the best policy, and of course, that is true. No one wants someone to be around anyone they cannot trust to tell them the truth. Being a liar is one of the worst things that anyone can be. Once that becomes a part of someones reputation, it is nearly impossible to shake. However, the honesty that everyone values and desires must be paired with kindness and consideration for others feelings. Children are arguably the most honest group youll ever meet. They will tell you what they think regardless of how it may sound and who it may hurt. No one ever wants to be on the receiving end of that kind of brutal honesty. Thats when choosing the correct words and tone is crucial, paramount. In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol and Harvey are husband and wife, who are incredibly honest with one another. But one could argue they are a little too honest, even to the point where they start saying exactly what pops into their head to one another. The skit begins with Carol staring at herself in the mirror. Its clear from the depressed look on her face that she is not thrilled with what shes seeing. She makes her thoughts about her face completely clear to Harvey, and, hilariously, things just go from bad to worse. Soon enough, they are both lashing out at one another, criticizing each other for things that are beyond their control. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

Tim Conways epic news desk fail has everyone in stitches. While playing a news anchor, the legendary comedian attempts to give viewers the latest news, but things go hilariously wrong. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see Tim Conway in another classic skit from The Carol Burnett Show. The people on television reporting the news have a big responsibility. The public turns to them to hear the latest, most pertinent information about their town, state and country. The information viewers receive during those television broadcasts will impact how they dress the next day and how they see the world. Thats why those sitting at the anchors desk or reporting in the field must always strive to provide the most useful, accurate and complete information possible. However, while that might be the goal, it may not always be possible. When television is live, as news broadcasts are, anything can happen. Things can and do go wrong, and stations may even have to issue corrections later. A clip posted on YouTube shows what happens when things go wrong while live on air. Tim is a news anchor and is all ready to deliver the news, even giving a very professional-sounding opening to the broadcast. As the viewer, you are prepared to hear what Tim has to say, and then it simply does not happen. He says that viewers will get the news as it happens, and that not even he has seen it before its delivered on air. However, instead of the news, hilarity occurs. There are several long, awkward pauses, and hes forced to fill dead air by talking or staring at the audience uncomfortably. Arguably, the best part of the entire skit is when hes reporting the sports scores. That goes about as well as youd expect. How he kept a straight face throughout this skit is beyond me! Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Nate Bargatze handled a surprise interruption like only he can. The popular funnyman responded to something rather unexpected during his set and seamlessly incorporated it into his act. Watch the short and hilarious clip to see how Nate reacted when his act was interrupted by something you would have never guessed. We've all heard that to become good at anything requires practice, and a lot of it. No one will immediately be the best at something on day one, right? Sure, someone may have some natural talent, but a lot of repetition and hard work are required to reach a point where they are considered the best or even good. That goes for everything in life, including stand-up comedy. Listening to any stand-up comedian talk, they will mention the importance of getting stage time when they were starting out. That's because they all know that the only way to get better is to practice, practice and practice in front of a crowd. Based on the audience's reaction, they'll learn what jokes work, which don't and ones that need to be refined. Also, they'll learn timing, which is invaluable in stand-up comedy. In a clip posted on YouTube, Nate proves that he has his act down pat. Not even a hilarious and unexpected interruption like helicopters flying overhead was able to throw him off. Instead, he perfectly handled it, diffused the situation with humor and even incorporated it into his act. He was in the middle of talking about being married for 14 years, meeting his wife at Applebee's and how they remain Applebee's fans to this day, when a couple of helicopters made their presence known. That's a good one, he said. How many? Are they not all doing the same job? You know, like, wouldn't they just be like, 'Well, I'm already over here. So, you don't got to come over here,' you know? Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

A comedian broke down Midwest nice and its hilariously accurate. He mentioned and provided several truly spot-on examples that help to illustrate what it means by the often-heard but misunderstood term. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear the comedian accurately explain what Midwest nice means. The United States of America is a vast country that encompasses many different regions, climates and landscapes. We are truly blessed to live in a place that greatly differs from one end to the other. Thanks to that diversity, so much can be seen and experienced without ever leaving the country. There is literally something for everyone in the United States of America. However, as youve likely already discovered, these differences in the country manifest themselves in various ways. The weather and landscapes are the most obvious, but it goes even deeper than that. How individuals talk, what they say and the dishes they eat will vary depending on the area of the country youre in at the time. Even how people treat and respond to one another from one region to the next likely wont be the same. In a clip posted on YouTube, a comedian explains what it means when someone says, Midwest nice. If youre not from the heartland or very familiar with the middle part of the country, you may not understand the treatment associated with that term. Well, youre in luck because this clip is a crash course in Midwestern niceties and politeness. As he correctly states, if you want to exhibit Midwest nice, you must first apologize profusely, even for things you have absolutely no control over. He then gives some hysterical examples such as apologizing for the weather, that the Packers did not perform their best and because someone is feeling under the weather. Of course, there are other Midwestern niceties mentioned in the video, but if you can master the first one, youre well on your way to mastering Midwest nice. Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.

Nate Bargatze hilariously shared how doctor visits change after turning 40. The popular funnyman mentions that those visits to medical professionals have changed rather dramatically. Watch the short but hysterical clip to listen to Nate tell Jimmy Fallon how doctor visits after turning 40 have become even less enjoyable. No one enjoys going to the doctor. Who really wants to be poked, prodded and stuck with a needle and told everything that is wrong with you? On top of that, you then have to pay them a pretty penny for that horrible, potentially mentally and physically scarring experience. Your doctor might be the kindest, most personable and warmest person in the world, but you still dont look forward to seeing them. The only thing worse than a doctors visit is a trip to the DMV or your local Walmart. Those are three of the unhappiest, most miserable places on Earth, and its not even close. But dont worry, as Nate hysterically shared, those dreaded doctor visits only get much, much worse after you turn 40. In a clip posted on YouTube, he mentioned how, before turning the big 4-0, going to the doctor is a breeze, a piece of cake. Youre in and out, with minimal questions from the doctor. However, after reaching and surpassing that marker, the questions from the medical professional increase and become a lot more invasive. And then you pass 40, and the doctors like, You mind shutting that door behind you? he said. Hes like, Id lock it. Were about to get after it. And it was the first time Ive ever been talked to old. And it was just me and him, and he goes, Do you pee a lot at night? And I was like, Did my dad just walk in the room? Like, hold old I never peed at night in my life. Later in the clip, Nate added that the doctors questions have ruined him forever. 2 Corinthians 4:16 For which cause we do not give way to weariness; but though our outer man is getting feebler, our inner man is made new day by day.

Jeff Allens hilarious take on hot dogs is comedy gold. The funnyman shared his thoughts on the popular food items and the people who eat them. Watch the short but laugh-out-loud funny clip to listen to Jeffs thoughts about hot dogs. Everyone loves to eat. Anyone who doesnt is either a liar or insane. Is there anything better than getting our fill of delicious, mouth-watering food? The only thing that might come close to reaching that level of consuming a delectable meal is getting an afternoon nap on the weekend. That is the life! While most people absolutelylove eating, the food we choose to eat isnt always the best for us. Of course, fast food and sweets are two things everyone loves, but they are not the healthiest of choices. The trick is to indulge in and enjoy these guilty pleasures occasionally, but not overdo it. Everything in moderation, or at least that was what we used to be told. One food that isnt the healthiest in the world but is still loved by many is hot dogs. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jeff explains why his wife chooses to stay away from those beloved favorites and how her reasoning does not impact him at all. My poor wife hasnt had a hot dog since 1987 because of a 60 Minutes expose that said they have rat hair in them, he said. So what, you cant see them. Hilariously, it sounds like Jeff has not been deterred by that possibility at all. Like many other people, he will continue eating hot dogs regardless of what may be in those tasty, but still somewhat mystifying treats that are best enjoyed with ketchup (My apologies to everyone who lives in Chicago!). If youre eating a hot dog because you think its good for you, youre a moron, Jeff added. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

This classic Carol Burnett Show skit proves glamour has never been so funny. The legendary comedian hilariously demonstrates the lengths some women are willing to go to ensure they look their best. Watch the short and hilarious clip to see how far Carol was willing to go so as not to mess up her hair. Many people are extremely vain and overly concerned about their looks. Popular social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook have helped prove this and arguably have made individuals even more vain. Look at the number of pictures people post. They only post those photos that make them look their best, usually ones taken at certain angles and in particular lighting. However, some people can and do take this to the extreme, putting themselves in pain to look their best. People will go on crazy, insane diets and actually have medical professionals inject them with chemicals because they think it makes them look a little better. Why? Im not quite sure either, but vanity is a big part of it. In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol doesnt go to those extremes but shows what shes willing to do to look her best for others. She is overly concerned about her hair and does not want it to become messy. So, she and Harvey Korman, who plays her husband, put themselves in some pretty ridiculous situations as they both try to protect Carols hairdo for the big wedding the next day. As expected, things do not go as planned for Carol and Harvey. Carol ends up unconscious on the floor, with her faithful husband asleep right next to her. They both bring a whole new meaning to the phrase pain is beauty. Carol and Harvey prove again that they are comedic legends, able to bring entire audiences to uncontrollable fits of laughter. Proverbs 31:30 Fair looks are a deceit, and a beautiful form is of no value; but a woman who has the fear of the Lord is to be praised.

Tim Hawkins revealed the lightbulb moment that changed his outlook on comedy. The popular Christian comedian said one simple, straightforward piece of advice completely changed his approach to comedy. Watch the short clip to hear Tim say what caused him to view comedy in a completely different way. Many people aspire to careers in comedy, especially stand-up comedy. Unfortunately, out of the many who have this as their goal, only a fraction are able to do it. Of course, thats because there are only so many stages and audiences willing to shell out good, hard-earned money, and too many aspiring comedians. Thats why, in order to get noticed and develop a fanbase, comedians must have a unique point of view. Naturally, from this point of view and how they look at the world, their comedy will come. Also, hopefully, their comedy and jokes are relatable, which goes a long way with audiences, too. In a clip posted on social media, Tim, during a discussion with fellow comedian Yakov Smirnoff, shared the piece of advice which helped him immensely. It changed how he wrote, looked at and approached comedy. One of the truths about comedy is when you first start, youre trying to write funny, Tim said. And thats a mistake. The thing is, you write passion. That changed my whole thing. You write what youre passionate about. What are you angry about? What frustrates you? What are you happy about? What do you love? Thats simple but truly excellent advice. It resembles the popular old saying, Write what you know. If something angers you or makes you happy, the writing and the comedy will feel more authentic, and odds are that others will feel similarly, and people will connect and relate to that. Later in the clip, Tim revealed where and from whom he received this simple but powerful advice, which helped change his comedy career. James 1:5 But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

A comedian made a discovery at Chick-fil-A, and it's absolutely hilarious. The popular funnyman, Jonnie W., shows that you really do learn something new every day. Watch the short and hysterical clip to hear about Jonnie's odd discovery at the well-liked fast-food chicken chain. While often delicious, fast food is not, if ever, the best choice of cuisine. Sure, it's convenient, allowing people to grab dinner on their way home quickly, but fast and easy does not equal nutritious and healthy. In fact, that is rarely the case, but Americans want everything right now. And again, who doesn't love a McDonald's Big Mac or a Whopper from Burger King every now and then? Of course, if you're going to talk about fast food, it's nearly impossible to do so without mentioning Chick-fil-A. It's one of America's most popular fast-food chains, with drive-thru lines consistently wrapping around the building as people wait for their chicken. People love their chicken! In a clip posted on YouTube, Jonnie shared that he learned Chick-fil-A doesn't include cheap plastic toys in its kids' meals. Instead, the fast-food chain gives the kids something very different, which they can easily discard and trade in for something else. The kids' meal at Chick-fil-A comes with, like, a prize, he said. Now, the prize when I was a kid, you get your Happy Meal. Look, it's the standard. You get your cheeseburger, small fries, your little, small drink and a little plastic toy you can pop right in your mouth. Start choking right away. Beautiful. That's childhood. But Chick-fil-A gives away books. It's a series of books. Hilariously, Jonnie says that while the cashier gave the child his book, she offered him the opportunity to trade it in for an ice cream cone. As Jonnie says in the clip, what youngster is passing that up? First of all, what kid is not taking that deal? he asked. And second of all, no wonder why the Chinese are beating us, OK? We're trading books for ice cream! And I'm not saying Chick-fil-A is anti-literacy. I'm just saying, draw your own conclusions. Their own cow mascot can't spell properly. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.
