The Carol Burnett Show

[fcolli172024]

There was a clip from the Carol Burnett show on YouTube years ago in which everyone in the cast wants to do a death scene, and then the whole cast dies at the end, including the dancers. I can no longer find it, however, many episodes are being rerun on YouTube and Me TV. I would like to know, however, if anyone knows which season and episode the sketch was part of. Does anyone have any idea?

I don't remember anything like that in the Carol Burnett Show.
I searched out a lot of Death Scenes in the Carol Burnett Show, for various threads.

I remember one skit. It was about a play in a community theater. The play was about a murder mystery. In this scene one male character was suppose to shoot another male character.
Carol Burnett was playing an amateur actress, who was playing a maid in this scene. When it came time for the male actor to be shot, she placed herself in front of him, as a sort of human shield. So she was shot instead of him. She then played out an over-the-top, extended death scene. While the two male actors looked on irritated.

Here's another favorite from Carol Burnett with Carol doing a death scene. Carol plays a Maid and Tim Conway plays the butler, who have to act out their employers' actions: Including suicide.

In this skit Carol is the secretary to gangster Jack Palance. She takes notes during a shoot-out, including her boss's will. Guess what he gives her?

Here is another oldie, but goodie. Carol is the cheating wife of the Roman Emperor. Near the end of the skit Carol is accidently stabbed over and over. I like the annoyed on Carol's face as she is stabbed over and over again.

They did a LOT of killing each other off now and then.

Tw others remember slightly.
Carol plays a femme fatal type character with Steve Lawrence a detective.
Carol is killed a few times/ does comic death scene.

Another one had cast all in line for an inheritance.
As each looked like they would be the one. One of the others would kill them.
Think if I remember right, final character killed off, by boobytrap in safe when opened.

Wish we had some of the data bases then, that we have now.
I'm sure they had lot I never knew about.

Here is the one with the inheritors being murdered off one by one. Vicki Lawrence is the lone female death here, murdered by a poisoned kumquat. Not much of a death scene, but we do get to see a full view of her dead body in her jacket and tight jodhpurs.

Carol plays a Miss Marple type character.

Here is the femme fatale character, a parody of the movie Laura.
Carol gets gut-shot.
Vicki, dressed as a French Maid, gets shot off screen, unfortunately.

Here is a James Bond parody. Tim Conway is James Blond.
Harvey Korman is Dr. Nose.
And Carol is his female henchwoman. Carol dies twice in this one. She is kissed to death by James Blond. But she gets better. Only to die again.
(Vicki was a minor henchwoman and I was a bit disappointed she didn't get to die in this one.)

Here is a parody of the fairy tale 'The Frog Prince.'
Tim Conway is the Frog Prince and he accidently kills a couple of people, (guess who?) Tim has some great one-liners as he pulls his sword out of his victims' bodies.
Carol is a narcoleptic princess. Guess what happens to her.

No actually there is another one ..

Carol's character betrays him ... Telling him how she enjoys the look in his eye, as she shoots him.
He shoots her .. seems to end with Carol .. raising a leg and shaking it, before seeming to be dead.

They switch scene back to his office ..
He is confessing killing her, into recorder.
She comes in ... Shooting him .. He tries shooting her again. His gun is empty.
She laughs .. He uses desk lamp, as gun, finishing her off.

Most I can remember it .. It was played almost as a Mickey Spillane gumshoe.

The one you mentioned. DAMN I wish they had shown Vicki dead in that maid's outfit.
Instead of only hearing the body drop off screen.
She had a VERY hot bod/ figure. They should have taken better advantage of now and then.

The multiple crime scene/ will they did more than once.
Think they even had Vicki in riding outfit in one. Going on about how she loved the horsies. Galloping around.
Before flopping onto chair dead.
Again I remember one of them ended final character. Smugly opening safe in triumph, for final demise.

LOT of years and shows .. THANKS for posting the ones you did !

Are you thinking of this scene from the Jackie Gleason show?

You guys missed one which is on you tube under

"The Carol Burnett Show, The Murderer Always Rings Twice"

which is a parody of the 1946 The Postman Always Rings Twice.

Carol in a blonde wig and white shorts plays the Lana Turner femme fatale, and does a very funny death scene dying in the arms of Steve Lawrence (in the John Garfield role) and Harvey Korman (with a lousy but very funny Italian accent as her elderly hubby)

This might be the best and funniest of all of her movie parodies.
