Entertaining

In yet another hysterical sketch from The Carol Burnett Show, Harvey Korman used some comical moves and hilarious antics to avoid doing chores around the house. Like everything good and worthwhile, marriage is hard and requires constant work. Of course, not every moment in a marriage is sunshine and roses. Married couples will experience their fair share of ups and downs. Anyone who has been married for any time understands that there are bound to be fights and tiffs in every marriage. No marriage is perfect, and no two people are going to agree on everything all the time. Disagreement is a part of life, and its about finding a compromise and a way to work through it. In a hilarious clip from The Carol Burnett Show, Carol and Harvey play a married couple. Carol and her sister are working, preparing the living floor to be cleaned. But they both know they will need Harveys help moving the furniture. With hilarious accuracy, Carol predicts she will encounter impediments when moving the furniture. Carol knows her husband exceptionally well and can anticipate Harveys moves and words to get out of helping even before he enters the room. Hilariously, Carol is right on the money every single time. She even knows the exact words and phrasing of the excuses her husband will give her. Harvey continues to give Carol flimsy excuse after weak excuse. He wants nothing more than to watch football in peace, and he doesnt want to move furniture now. He makes that incredibly loud and clear to Carol. Despite Harvey's many protests, Carol insists on his help moving the furniture. The married couple goes around and around, yelling at one another while the furniture remains in the same place. But things turn unexpectedly when a neighbor comes over, and Harvey immediately changes his tune. All his ailments and illnesses are magically gone, and he wants to move the furniture now. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

Legendary comedian Bob Hope and Big Bird had a hilarious back-and-forth conversation that is pure comedy gold. Comedy can take many forms, some of which may not be for everyone. Some of those forms includes physical comedy, in which comedians and actors use their bodies in different and hilarious ways. But there is also the snappy, quick-witted type of comedy, which commonly uses funny one-liners and clever wordplay to get the audience laughing in their seats. Talented comedians can easily and masterfully perform many different types of comedy. Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, Tim Conway and Harvey Korman are a few of the people who fit into this category of versatile comedians. The hysterical and iconic Bob Hope should also be included in that list. In a clip posted on YouTube, Bob shows that he can still bring the house down with laughter even if his comedic sparring partner is a famous big yellow bird. According to the video's description, Big Bird appeared with the legendary comedian on his World of Comedy special in October 1976. Bob and the famous character from Sesame Street mention several topics in the three-minute clip. Big Bird asks if Bob has yet been promoted from the alphabet to entire words. Bob responds incredulously that he knows how to read and write, and he makes the yellow bird aware that he has authored seven books. The bird shoots back that hes aware of his books. This causes the entire audience to break out in laughter. Next, Big Bird wonders aloud if hes meant for primetime network television because he had been informed that only turkeys appeared on those channels. While Big Bird does get in many shots at Bob, he takes them all in stride. He sets up every one of the jokes, allowing his feathered guest to get the laugh. Bob demonstrated that he was a good sport and was willing to take a couple of jokes at his expense. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

A detective duo has several hilarious mishaps in another classic and side-splitting sketch from The Carol Burnett Show. There is a wide range of comedy films, basically something for every taste and preference. One such film is the buddy cop film. Buddy cop comedies have essentially become their own genre due to the high number of them Hollywood has and continues to produce. Films like Rush Hour, 48 Hrs., Beverly Hills Cop and the Lethal Weapon movies all follow a similar, predictable set-up and formula: Two mismatched police officers are thrown together to solve a murder, robbery or other crime. Initially, the two cops dont get along or care for one another. However, through a series of mishaps and hilarious situations, the officers become friends and eventually solve the crime at the last minute. In another hilarious sketch posted on YouTube, Carol plays a severely injured and inept detective with her husband. Yes, they are detectives and not police officers, but the nearly eight-minute sketch very closely resembles a buddy cop movie. They are both totally and utterly useless as detectives, having never even had one case. But, out of nowhere, they get a phone call. Its someone asking for help trying to find the person who is threatening her life. Well, have no fear because Carol and her detective husband are on the case. On second thought, if you hired these two to help you find someone who wants you dead, youve become pretty desperate. However, Carol and her husband fumble their way through the case and somehow, some way finds the culprits. This short sketch is jam-packed with laughs. Most of them come from the large amount of physical comedy as Carol accidentally keeps whacking people on the head with the oversized cast on her arm. In this sketch, Carol Burnett shows again why she is considered a comedic legend. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Everyone loves a good comedy about marriage relationships. Check out this video as Andy Griffith and Carol Burnett tackle marital problems in this classic sketch. The clip starts out showing the husband in many picture frames as a football coach with his trophies in their family living room. The wife suddenly throws one of the frames to the ground as the daughter comes in. She tries to comfort her mother, and she says that she has it bad because she wishes she had a girls name. She reveals that her name is Bronco. The mom jokes that she fought it the best she could. She comically encourages the daughter that at least she has a normal middle name, Ralph. The audience laughs. The wife answers the door alone, and the daughter flees in fear. He comes in and tries to do a football play. He punches her in the shoulder. He says, give another kiss. He blows a whistle and then makes her do a football play and smacks her on the bottom. They drink martinis out of an ice bucket, and the husband tells her that she has no team spirit. He threatens to bench her. She sits down. The dad calls in Bronco. He tells her she is out of the family. He jokes that he can make a trade. They joke about their honeymoon at the Green Bay Packers game at halftime. Merlin, a football friend of the husband's, comes in. She kisses Merlin in hopes of getting him kicked out. She yells the football term hut at him, so he leaves. She tells her football-crazed husband that she is through. She gets her coat and busts out; she jokes that when she is gone, no one will know she was ever married to a football coach. As she busts through the door, the number 30 is sewn on the back of her coat like a jersey. The audience laughs. Marriage can be challenging. It is important to cultivate it, communicate, and love each other well. May this video remind us that we should seek God in our marriages to help us in our struggles. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Ephesians 5:33

Hilarity ensued as tempers flared in a classic sketch from The Carol Burnett Show. Being able to read and knowing how to act and what to say in social situations is a handy skill. Quickly picking up on the general mood of people will save you trouble.That skill and ability will keep you from sticking your foot in your mouth. Like most things, this can be learned over time. However, exercising proper etiquette and employing basic social norms shouldnt be hard, right? But some people (we all know a few) cant help but say the wrong thing at the most inopportune moment. Saying or doing the wrong thing can and will dredge up a painful memory for someone else, causing them to react emotionally. A clip posted on YouTube features Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman in a sketch about saying the wrong things at the wrong time, which causes people to react emotionally. Tears are shed, and tempers flare throughout the sketch, but there are also plenty of laughs. Harveys best friend, who has just undergone a messy breakup, is an emotional mess. Being the good friend that he is, Harvey has invited his buddy over to help him during this painful time. Harvey has plans to treat him to dinner and even take him to a basketball game. However, Carol cant help but keep saying the wrong thing to Harveys buddy, causing him to devolve into a ball of tears every time. Also, every time Harvey walks back into the room, its to see his buddy bury his face in his hands because of something Carol had just said. Naturally, Harvey gets a bit upset at Carol for doing this. But then, hilariously, Harvey also starts to do this. Everything he says triggers an emotional reaction in his buddy. Also, Harveys buddy unintentionally causes a tiff between Harvey and Carol. Carol learns Harveys honest opinion about her meatloaf. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Bob Hope Reunites with his twin brother John Denver is this hilarious clip, and the two stars deliver big laughs and lots of heart! Bob Hope approaches John Denver, who is already on stage with his guitar and a big smile. Bobs clothing mirrors Johns. Hes wearing a brown cowboy hat, pants, and western vest; wire-framed glasses, a matching paisley-print shirt; and a longish, blond wig. Theyre identical except for the forty years of life that separate them. John was born in 1943; Bob was born in 1903! The country boy gives Bob a once-over and asks who he is, and Bob introduces himself as Irving Idaho. Hes made a left at Colorado Springs to find Denveras in John Denver, Irvings twin. The banter continues between the two, and each exchange is good-natured fun. Irving claims hes been in the mountains attempting to record the sounds of bighorn sheep butting heads. Unfortunately, it seems like hes the one who got head-butted. While his goal was to live off the land, hes been surviving primarily on Excedrin. Excited to finally connect with his long-lost twin, Irving would love for the two to make music together. However, he knows nothing about music and plays only a snowshoe. So, John offers to accompany him on the guitar as Irving sings a song he wrote. The song unfolds like this. With interesting prose, verse one tells about Irvings loneliness now that his horse has died. Upon completing that much, he asks John if he's following. John responds, Yeah. If I could find my way back alone, Id leave now. That time, Mr. Denver got the laugh! Verse two laments the dead nags sadness without Irving to clean his heavenly stall. However, number three reveals that the elder twins sorrow is really connected to the fact that he missed out on $100 by not selling the old steed to glue makers! Irving goes on to ask how John writes songs. As an example, John sings an impromptu ditty about how one greets a grizzly. Irving asks how thats how it works. Does Denver just open up his mouth and let a hot bear come out? This is a zinger at Johns expense! The skit ends with the two singing together Open Up Your Heart by Roger Miller. Both Bob Hope and John Denver touched the hearts of countless people during their lifetimes. Bob Hope made millions laugh with his performances on Broadway and radio, in film and on television, and overseas for military troops. Singer and songwriter John Denver left an incredible body of work, recording and releasing approximately 300 songs. He was also a renowned environmentalist and humanitarian, making many contributions on those fronts as well. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Romans 13:13

A comedian, Brian Scott McFadden, gave his hysterical take on the accents most pilots seem to have and the crazy and insane boarding procedures of airlines. Everyone loves going on vacation. Who doesnt love escaping real life for a week or so and jetting off to a tropical paradise? Once we reach our destination, its nothing but rest and relaxation until its time to leave and return to reality. The only downside to going on vacation is traveling to the destination. As everyone knows, that can be a hassle and lead to some of the biggest migraines youll ever experience. This is especially true if your chosen mode of transportation is flying. In a clip posted on YouTube, Brian talks about the accents of most pilots. He states that they all seem to have what he describes as a Midwestern accent. Its calm, reassuring and confident. Thats precisely how you want the pilot to sound, right? Everyone wants someone flying the plane to sound like they are in total control of the situation. Then he switches things up a little. He reimagines what a pilot might sound like and say if they had a New York or New Jersey accent. Moments into this bit, Brian has the entire audience rolling with laughter. He claims that a New York accent wouldnt work as a pilot because its not the most soothing one in the world. Also, as Brian hilariously demonstrates in the clip, New Yorkers tend to be more brusque, blunt and straightforward than youd want a pilot to be. He also includes a few hysterical jokes about how airlines allow people to board the aircraft. He claims that airlines separate passengers by class with their oddly named membership groups. Brians stand-up bit is so hilarious because its so relatable. Everyone who has ever flown on a plane knows and understands exactly what he is talking about. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

In another epic sketch from The Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway plays perhaps the oldest man alive and a terrifically, but hilariously, bad deliverer of torture! Carols comedy crew creates another legendary skit featuring Vicki Lawrence as the unwilling bride-to-be, Harvey Korman as the King with a crush, and Tim as the dimwitted and incompetent royal torturer. Clearly, the king needs a better method for vetting his employees. Or, perhaps this one has just lost his touch during his tenure in service to the kingdom. Either way, it is a sad state of affairs! As the clip begins, King Harvey has already asked the captive beauty to marry him. This time, she says that she would rather be attacked by a warthog. Ouch! The king reminds himself that a warthog is a large piggie, and thats clearly not the response he was hoping for. At this, he calls upon Royal Torturer Tim to expedite matters. Tim struggles just to make his way through the spider web that covers the ancient wooden door to his quarters; he finds a medieval axe for the job. He moves with glacial speed, shuffling across the torture chamber, and he seems only to hurt himself. Tim, the Torturer, begins by biting his thumb, but he continues to sear his back and side with a hot poker, slams his head into the wall while trying to catch the mouse meant to terrify the not-particularly-distressed damsel, and strangles himself twice with a medieval mace (a.k.a. spike ball)! Vicki, pretty in pink, remains steadfast in her determination not to marry the king. With two additional threats, she comments that shed rather kiss a chicken on the beak or smoke duck feet. She provides colorful and insulting alternatives! At last, it appears that King Harveys henchman has failed to secure the ladys agreement to marriage. He concedes that there is no use to try further. Alas, though, his defeat and despair do the trick! Vicki tells the silly goose to take heartI think she has a fascination with poultry. Shes been playing hard to get! Meanwhile, Tim has pierced his body in a spiked casket. No matter, though. Hes done his job and is ready for the next victim! A wife of noble character is her husbands crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. Proverbs 12:4

Every school creates and tweaks its customs and traditions over the years, but one Seattle school has teachers and cheerleaders facing off every year for an epic dance duel! Founded in 1954, Bishop Blanchet High School was the first Catholic co-ed high school in the Archdiocese of Seattle. The schools enrollment is approximately 950 students in grades 9-12, and the school boasts 16,000 alumni. Annually, during BBHSs homecoming rally, the cheerleaders perform a special dance routine, which is set to J. J. Fads 1988 song Supersonic. And, on this particular day each year, they invite teachers to pair with them for their performance Each cheerleader-teacher duo does their own mini routine, showcasing their moves for a gymnasium full of students and staff. In this video, from September 2022, there are 16 cheerleaders and 16 very brave teachers strutting their stuff! Among the teachers participating, some may be in their first year and others close to retirement. Roughly two-thirds of the dancing educators are men. Some appear to be quick-stepping outside their comfort zones, while others own the floor! Check them out! The first gent focuses on counting; hes got to get the performance started right. He and his ponytailed partner high-five, feeling good about how things went. Number twos moves are smooth and classy; hes not trying too hard. The high steps are a challenge for the tall teacher in the third spot, and number four may have been a gymnast before becoming a pedagogue. When the first gal stands up (number six in the line-up), she is super impressive. Even while wearing career clothes and shoes, she nails her number. Then, she offers a ton of love and affirmation to the teacher up next! Each one is fun to watch, and its evident that they are having a great time. The teacher in blue tie-dye seems to surprise herself with her nice execution of a jump. These good sports are a blast to watch! Thankfully, Bishop Blanchet High School decided to share this video with the world. Before 2022, they had been keeping their homecoming tradition to themselves. J. J. Fad loved the video so much, that they shared it on their Facebook page, too. Julie Gallaudet, Director of Marketing at Bishop Blanchet, said, I thought it might get a fun reaction and bring lots of smiles because its school spirit and almost nostalgic to anyone watching. I was floored by the comments. We have tens of thousands of comments and they are so supportive and positive. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. Colossians 3:16

Actress Jennifer Garner attempted to complete a flexibility challenge, but things went hilariously wrong. Getting older is not a fun process. Plenty of people will wholeheartedly and honestly agree with that statement. Aging is something that everyone experiences with every passing day, hour, minute and second. The human body is temporary and not designed to last forever. One of the worst things about aging is the realization that we are getting older. We begin noticing the signs of the aging process. Our hair, or what is left of it, has started turning gray or bright white. Ones memory is no longer what it once was, and one's metabolism has slowed considerably. Another sign of growing older is the loss of flexibility and mobility. Moving and staying active are great for everyone, especially for someone starting to get along in years. However, no matter how much we move around, it will never be with the ease and effortlessness of when we were children. In a clip posted on social media, Jennifer Garner tries to emulate a stretching exercise. The first part of the clip shows two young women moving and contorting their bodies with ease. When they do it, it looks straightforward. The rest of the clip shows Jennifer and a friend trying the same exercise and movement. However, their results are different from those of the two young women. Instead, their first attempt ends with Jennifer and her buddy falling backward onto the floor. Not one to give up easily, Jennifer gets back up and tries that same flexibility motion a couple more times. They do a slightly modified version of the original exercise, and the two women congratulate one another on their accomplishments. Either way, both appear to be having fun, and thats really what exercise and moving around should be: fun. If its not fun, who will want to do it? 1 Timothy 4:8 For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.

Comedic legends Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman have absolutely terrible memories in a hysterical skit from The Carol Burnett Show. The aging process impacts everyone. No matter how hard some may try, they cannot and will not avoid getting older. We get older with every passing day, hour and minute. Time, as the old saying goes, stops for no man. Aging is a simple fact of life. Aging is such a part of life that we can literally see its effects. Men commonly lose their hair as they get older, and the hair that they manage to keep on their heads often turns gray. A womans hair will also turn gray. Metabolism slowing down and wrinkles appearing more regularly are all signs of advancing in age. However, people commonly say that the memory is the first thing to go when it comes to getting older. Losing ones memory can be devastating, but Carol and Harvey show that it can also result in some rather funny and laugh-out-loud situations. In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol and Harvey play a married couple awaiting friends' arrival at their house another married couple they havent seen in years. But they cannot remember either the man's or the womans first and last names for their lives. Hilarity ensues after their friends arrive, and they both spend every second desperately trying to get their longtime friends to say their names. Whenever a situation presents itself in which the forgotten couple might say their names, they do not, for one reason or another. Due to some quick thinking from Carol and Harvey, they successfully disguise the fact that they have no idea who exactly they are entertaining at their house. Aging happens to everyone, and sometimes, as the classic skit from The Carol Burnett Show demonstrates, that can make for some hilarious situations. Proverbs 16:31 The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.

A grandmother showed off her slick and quick-footed dance moves as her musically gifted grandson played and sang an informative and hilarious song. Everyone on Earth experiences aging. We all get a little older with every passing day, hour, and second. There is absolutely nothing that we can do to stop that natural process. No one has devised a way to pause or rewind time yet. Also, something tells me that any and all attempts to do so will be a failure. So, since aging is something that we all do, shouldnt we embrace it? Instead of worrying and agonizing about the number of candles on your birthday cake, we could even start having fun with it. Thats precisely what a grandmother and her grandson did in a hilarious video posted on social media. In the short clip, a young man wearing a pair of sunglasses plays a keyboard as he sings about his grandmother no longer requiring the assistance of a walker. As he sings, his grandmother demonstrates that the lyrics of the catchy tune are 100% true. Grandmas got no walker, hey Grandmas got no walker, hey Grandmas got no walker Grandma doesnt need a walker anymore Grandma moves and groves around on the dance floor, putting on a dancing display that would put most people to shame. She no longer needs a walker, and she can actually dance! The young man in the video also informs listeners where the walker is likely to be found now that his grandmother no longer needs it. It will likely be locked up in the closet from this point forward. That short and hilarious clip is nothing but a woman enjoying life and celebrating the fact that she no longer needs to use a walker. Her incredible moves prove she gets along just fine without it. Proverbs 20:29 The glory of young men is their strength, and the honor of old men is their grey hairs.

The cast of the beloved and iconic The Carol Burnett Show pulled a series of hilarious jokes and pranks on one another, forcing them to try and disguise their laughter during a sketch. Not taking yourself too seriously is necessary for a successful, sustained comedy career. Actors and comedians often find themselves in some pretty insane situations, especially in sitcoms or sketch comedy shows like Saturday Night Live or The Carol Burnett Show. Those people must be able to take whatever happens at the moment and roll with it, whether its expected or not. But isnt learning not to take yourself too seriously and being able to laugh at yourself something helpful for everyone? Nobody wants to be around someone who has no sense of humor or cannot take a joke. In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Vicki Lawrence show they can take a joke. The Carol Burnett program was known for its cast, mainly Harvey, breaking character and bursting into laughter during the middle of a skit. The 11-minute clip shows some of the best pranks and jokes they pulled on one another. Some of the bits included in the video are of Carol speaking to the audience before the show. As she does her iconic Tarzan call, someone dressed as a gorilla unexpectedly runs up and down the aisles. At another point in the clip, Carol informs the audience about the prank she will play on Harvey. Things go about as expected, and everyone ends up doubled over in laughter. Near the clip's conclusion, Carol attempts to lip-sync along. However, one of the shows crew members has a bit of fun with her. The speed and sound of the recording are manipulated so much that lip-syncing to it is impossible. Proverbs 17:22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.
