Robin Williams was the best🎉
Keening: the action of wailing in grief for a dead person.
So like “Weeping Wanda” from Good Times? 😂
Especially in Celtic cultures
Don't forget, she's had all that experience working with Tim Conway. She's used to it.
EXACTLY what I was thinking
They filmed 5-6 different versions of this skit and Robin ad-libbed his part differently each time. All of them are hilarious. Robin Williams is at his best when he is given the freedom to improv. Jonathan Winters is also brilliant at improv.
I remember Robin being on Letterman with Jonathan Winters. Probably one of the funniest things ever!
Jonathan Winters combined with Robin Williams and you had no chance of keeping it together.
She's keeping a straight face because she's used to TRYING to get through skits with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman. They are a tough act to follow, and I'll bet Robin knew that. He so appreciated other comics...especially ones that could improvise even on live TV.
Carol Burnett is a MASTER Comedian. She can make you wet yourself laughing and then make you cry the next minute. Her TV show is one of the best and funniest shows ever on TV. On her show, the cast would try to crack each other up, and they often did, and when they lost it, it was the best part of the show.
We could really use her and Robin these days. People have forgotten how to laugh at life’s difficulties.
Carol Burnett..... amazing. Add Robin Williams.....fantastic! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I grew up watching the Carol Burnett Show. Carol Burnett was a comedic genius like Robin Williams. This is a great presentation of their comedic abilities.
*IS* a comedic genius. She's not dead yet.
Yes, I know she is not dead. I did not mean it that way. I love her and I wish her a long life.@@sallyphillips9175
classic. they don't make them like this anymore. she is incredible, and Robin was one of a kind.
Robin Williams was such a wild card when given free rein! You never knew what he was gonna do or say but you knew it was gonna be interesting and you knew it was gonna be funny! Carol had a lot of practice trying to keep a straight face .....because of all the crazy things that Tim Conway used to do on the show! He's also a genius at improv!
Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters on Carson. Entirely improv. They were on Carson more than once. They were very close friends too. There was no one like Jonathan Winters. One of the greats!!!!!!
Jonathan even played Mork and Mindy's son.
Carol Burnett has been an American treasure for decades. From appearances on the Twilight Zone and Gomer Pyle, USMC, to stage productions, and more, she has shown us a wide range of talent. She really does do very well when tackling dramatic topics. The one that comes to mind you might want to watch is from 1979 and is called Friendly Fire, with Ned Beatty. No spoilers but be prepared for serious Carol.
And don't forget her recent appearance on Better Call Saul - she was terrific!
When they were filming the movie Insomnia with Al Pacino, Robin was in my hometown. I have a cousin who always cracks everybody up with laughter, and their table was full, the night young, and everyone was laughing;; then suddenly they all stopped laughing, and my cousin looked behind him and there was Robin Williams, drawn to their table with their laughter. Robin asked if he could join them and proceeded to buy everyone the drinks for the evening, everyone cracking up with laughter. This was a time when he drank a lot. My cousin said he was so quick and so funny.
See the "Gone With The Wind" sketch on the Carol Burnett Show. It has one of her most famous lines.
Went With The Wind. It's a jem.
Two of the all-time Greatest.
Keening ("caoineadh" in Irish, "coronach" in Scottish Gaelic) was a ritualized vocal lament for the dead practiced by Irish and Scottish Gaels. It consisted of wails and moans interpersed with lyrical and poetic elements, in a semi-musical or chanted form, and was in integral part of the funeral rites.
Carol Burnette was a comedy super producer. One of the more powerful women in Hollywood at a time when there weren't that a many women producing. Carole Burnett, Lucile Ball and the original suffragette film producer Mary Pickford were trailblazers for women. Powerful successful women who inspired generations of girls and opened the way for all the women that followed.
Don't forget Mae West and Imogene Coca.
Robin Williams was such a TREASURE!!! You have to just laugh!
These 2 are GOAT's. Robin is sorely missed...
Keening is a Celtic thing. I know the Irish would have professional Keeners. They do the wailing for the family to show how much the person is missed in order to get the person's soul to Heaven.
Some comedians have so much talent vocal, instrumental, dance and straight acting. They could go in so many directions.
The Carol Burnett show was always done in front of a live audience. She would come out and talk to the audience.... let them ask questions... it was great!
What kind of soap do they use to clean the floor?
Robin Williams was one of THEE FUNNIEST EVER!!! I first saw him on Happy Days TV show in the 70s. He was SO GOOD, that he got his own show out of it, "Mork and Mindy" was his coming out party. He improvised much of his dialogue, his scripts often were left with OPEN spots where he was allowed to freestyle, to HILARIOUS effect!!
You know she always tell her mom hi on every show at the beginning. She tugged on her ear as a signal for mom saying hi
Carol Burnett with multi-talented, she was also a really good serious actress.
She was in an award-winning movie in the late seventies called Friendly Fire based on a true story that won a lot of awards.
Scream into a pillow, the pillow will muffle the noise.
Robin Williams at a funeral?! Who dares to laugh at this?! Along with me! 😂 Aw, too soon? 😲 😜
Keening is an Irish tradition. Delores Riordan uses a modified version of it in her song "Zombie."
Most likely, everything Robin is doing here is improv. Usually, he's given an idea, and then they turn him loose. There are many times on this show when no one keeps a straight face. Elephant was probably a Tim Conway reference to a wild bit Tim did about an elephant.
He said his favorite book is Babar The Elephant. A series of childrens books.
It's called a primal scream..no words..just from the pit of gut emotion..it's from the seeds of our connections to our loves.
Dolores O’Riordan, from the Cranberries, was keening in the song Zombies. A wail of grief
When Richard Pryor had a variety series a very short time in the mid 1970's, Robin williams was a cast member. He did a famous parody with Richard on To Kill a Mocking Bird.
Carol is 90 and still hilarious. Her last role was just in 2022.
I live in an apt, I can't scream in private. 😆
Well perhaps if you start keening, your neighbors will join in. 🙂
I had no idea that they worked together. Genius and genius.Who would have thought that a funeral could be this funny? I haven't laughed this hard for a long time 😂
ha......i remember watching these old shows
I saw Carol in Providence, RI. My sister-in-law bought tickets for me, her, and her sister, my wife. Good show, can't remember who was with her.
Carol is still alive. 90-ish now.
You should check out some Robin Williams interviews with Johnny Carson. Johnny introduces him then just stands back & watches Robin go. Lol
In case no one's pointed it out yet, one of Carol Burnette's most memorable characters was Eunice from The Family sketches- which ultimately became the basis for the sitcom Mama's Family.
But my favorite of her characters is washed-up silent film star Nora Desmond, with Harvey Korman as her ruthlessly loyal manservant Max. There were 5 Nara Desmond sketches, and they're all available on CZcams.
She was?? Carol is still going strong at 90+ years!
Check out Harvey Korman as Rhett Butler, and Carol as Scarlett O'Hara. I laughed until I cried.
Oh love those FRAMES!!! great look!
😂This was a good Skit to react to. Robin Williams and Carol Burnette Are Really Good At Improving. Robin Is Hilarious with his Improving. But Carol Burnette is One Of The BEST At It...On her show(The Carol Burnette Show),..Her and Tim Conway were Sooooo Great on the show. Especially Tim. Great Reaction Miss Britt.😅👍🏾💯👍🏾
Britt, that's so fascinating that you mentioned screaming and just using it for releasing based on a suggestion in therapy because I just watched your John Lennon Imagine reaction, and he went through a phase and even had a couple hits where he Incorporated this therapy at the time that was brand new and it was called Primal scream therapy. He embraced it and he added it to some of his songs, Mother being a prime example. But there are several others
Carol Bernett was a comic genius.
Two Top-Tier players right there. 🌼🌼 Thank you!
Two consummate pros of comedy right there!
Can only imagine the laughs on the cutting room floor!
Love!!
Robin was a master at improv!
The day after my husband died, I screamed as loud as I could ... which I found out wasn't very loud! Both of these people were/are pure comedic pros!!!!
I believe that Robin was the only comedian to make Carol swear on live tv. Nobody was safe around Robin's humor. Lol
Carol Burnett came on Sunday nights and my brother and me would crack our bedroom door open to watch! You should try and see the full shows. The Gone with the Wind skit will crack you up!
RIP Robin. You're missed.
I have never been disappointed by either of them!
Have you never seen the Carol Burnett show? You're missing out please watch it wherever you can find it. I would watch this during my childhood and we would be laughing so hard I've never laughed so hard in my life. Gone with the wind was my special favorite, along with Mrs. Withers I think was her name and other Skits they were so good at what they did.
I love Britt. Carol.& Robin two top comedians are on screen and Britts looking at how pretty the casket is🤣🤣🥰
If you like Robin Williams in this, you should watch his interview on "Inside The Actors Studio". Robin was the true king of ad lib comedy and he was in rare form during the interview. Absolutely hilarious
I watched this live. I laughed uncontrollably.
Lucky!!!
Carol was always live show. Even "Mama's Family" based of a sketch in her show. She does "loose it" a lot, she is good at hiding it most of the time.
I was glued to this show weekly, faithfully, hilarious always!
Thanks Britt! I have not thought about this skit in decades! Robin was so outrageously funny. Back then this would hsve been considered very risky, but his talent was undeniable and upu found yoursrlf laughing but holding your hands over your mouth, because deep down it felt so inappropriate. He was one very funny man !😂
Screamed this morning 🙂. It's a great release. I highly recommend it! LOVE these two! Hope you and your family are well. 💖🙋♀️
By the time they did this, Carol had been working with Tim Conway for more than a decade, so she'd had plenty of practice trying to hold a straight face.
Art Carney, Jonathon Winters, Tim Conway, Robin Williams...... they were such amazing improv comedians with incredible creativity, timing, and talent. I'm not sure we'll ever see the likes of any of them again.
Carol had a talent for turning her back when she lost it or covering in someway to help her regain control
Wow a masterclass
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only person in therapy ! Lol❤
This is from the Carol Burnett show. But yes, she is amazing.
Did anyone ever tell you that Carol Burnett was on Broadway? You can hear her pipes in this scene. She has volume!
PPS - fantastic reaction, thanks for sharing the joy!
It's like the first take was just a set up for the 2nd one!! An unbelievable display of comedic genius!!
Can you imagine Tim Conway and Robin Williams together on the Carol Burnett show. They may have been but don’t remember. The cast would have died laughing
And thus they would have to do another funeral skit....
Carol played the woman who was Saul Goodman's final undoing in the last episodes of "Better Call Saul". Her comedy sketch show was great. My favorite recurring character of hers was "Eunice".
The Carol Burnett Show and Tim Conway - the Elephant Story !!!!
I have a place high on a mountain deep in the forest where I can scream from the top of my lungs. It's really soothing and brings me closer to nature. 💚
This was true freedom on media
So, Britt, on the Carol Burnett Show Tim Conway would do improv a lot so that is where she got that training to not break character. Robin is my favorite!! 😂😂😂
As someone who was raised in the church, you should react to Robin Williams Live on Broadway’s Biblical History segment. Brilliant!
I was introduced to Carol Burnett in the Mama’s Family tv show. It wasn’t until I was older that I found out about her comedy show and how truly great she was.
That's art for you ... A casket can be a work of art .. and it JUMPS out at you and you can do naught but ... exclaim in appreciation!!
Robin was pure chaos on Adderall. Lmaooo. He killed you. Lmaooooo
Carol Burnett is an amazing performer, and Robin Williams is a comic genius.
You're heard some keening before in the music of the Cranberries and Sinead O'Connor. Irish word for wailing in grief.
There is a carol burnett clip called elephant. its hilarious. and any clips with tim conway and harvey korman
I'm sure Carol was thinking, oh God I'm dealing with a younger version of Tim Conway
Keening is an Irish thing. Apparently they sing their wailing when grieving. Great example would be the song Zombie by The Cranberries, Dolores O'Riordan's beautiful voice gives us a sample of keening in the chorus.
In the Irish language caoineadh means 'to cry' the pronunciation sounds like 'keen eh'. Traditionally, at Irish and, I think, Scottish funerals there were people whose role was to sing laments. These would have been 'ag caoineadh' or crying in a wailing manner. Keening is an anglicised version of the verb.
👍 I do scream fr time to time but can't remember that all put bawling kind of thing 🤔 or a real good full belly laugh & Britt /Robin/Carol combo, got me😂😂😂
There used to be a thing called Primal Scream. Therapists suggested that you scream at the top of your lungs to let out your pent up emotions.
Keeping a straight face? Dealing with Tim Conway probably helps.
Keening is a kind of wailing done as part of mourning by Irish woman, they use it in singing too. Singers Sinead O’Connor and Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries are good examples of when it is raised to another level.
If you like to see carol Burnett in a serious roll watch her in the movie "Friendly fire"✌️❤️
I will check it out
This was cool. Keening: the action of wailing in grief for a dead person.
Supposedly on the Carol Burnett show they would make two takes before a live audience especially in a scene with Tim Conway. One take would more or less follow the script and the second take they would let Tim Conway run wild. Then they would choose the best take.
Carol had a lot of practice with Tim Conway were she couldn’t hold it in.
This is what I came here to say! Robin was apparently all over the place in most of the work he did - you never knew what you were going to get. So the only reason Carol did so well was all her experience with Tim.
Check out Yoko Onos primal screaming 😂
I’ll check it out 😂
I haven't been able to find it since the first time I saw it during the episode but their second run through of that originally went a bit longer
There was a really popular method of therapy in the 70s or 80s called 'Primal Scream Therapy'....basically what you talked about.
I watch Carol Burnett all the time when I was young with Vicki Lawrence Tim Conway Harvey korman and Lyle waggoner and it was a funny funny show I still watch reruns
If you want to understand keening, listen to the late Delores ORiordan (The Cranberries) singing the song Zombie.
You can hear an example of Irish keening in the song "Zombie" by the Cranberries.
Carol Burnett was part of my high school soundscape. 😂
Listen to Dolores O’Riordan, lead singer of the Cranberries as she sings the chorus in the song "Zombie" at the end of each word she has a vocal "break" that abruptly flips to a higher tone. That will give you a good idea about what keening sounds like when sung with real words. Now imagine that flip with sounds of remorse and wailing....and you have the keening that Robin Williams was trying to get at. (Enjoy Official Music Video by the Cranberries singing "Zombie"! RIP Delores O'Riordan and Robin Williams.
Keening is an Irish singing thing done to mourn the dead.
Hello Britt Reacts, Carol Burnett was in a nice film called " The Four Seasons (1981) ".
