has there ever been a funnier combo? I think not.
Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.

Abbott & Costello?
Just seeing their names in the thread title made me laugh...

I think that's one of the funniest skits ever, and Conwan was a great ad libber. Corman couldn't keep a straight face!
Those guys were a riot. Second favorite is Ralph Kramden and Edward Norton.
Key and Peele are a brilliant team. I used to love Tim Conway growing up, but these guys make me laugh even harder.
One of the top two modern era ever......
Ouch and Ouch...and Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch and..oh heck every Ouch on B&B.
He is getting funnier, especially with the Gifs.
Carol Burnett show was the best - this on always puts tears in my eyes...

Agreed . We miss shows like this to .
Most of the time Tim could keep a straight face while the rest of the cast couldn't. Great team. His deadpan delivery of outrageous comments was incredible.
They were funny. But Laurel and Hardy were much funnier. Always have been, always will be.

It would be hard to top Harvey in the Dentist's chair.
The siamese elephants sneezing is the line I always think of. I heard once that the scripted line was just "I went to the circus and saw the elephants" and the rest of the cast was to play off of that line. Didn't happen.
There was another Tim Conway bit with cellaphane wrap that was pretty good as well. I think we've come up with the top 3 moments from the show.
Did Harvey Korman ever make it through a skit without cracking up? The audience ate it up, but the skits quickly devolved into ten minutes of watching the entire cast unable to speak and trying not to laugh. Groundbreaking at the time, but it has long since lost its luster. A modern version would be half the routines on SNL.
Korman was still a real old school pro- loved him in Blazing Saddles and even as The Great Gazoo on the Flintstones.
Conway was unbelievable as his straight man.
