What a legend.

A few months after I was born, my mom says we were in an elevator near Hollywood going to a doctor's appointment and he walked in.  He took one look at me and apparently I laughed.  

I got a lot of laughs from this guy.  If we can say a measurement of comedic genius is the number of times a comic gets costars to break character with laughter in a live setting, then Tim Conway is an all-time great.  Rest In Peace, Mr Tudball.

Apple Dumpling Gang was a staple of my childhood. As was the Carol Burnett Show. RIP. 

Tim Conway cracking up Harvey Korman will never not be funny.  He was pure genius.  RIP to one of the all time greats.  

Are you sure that little asshole's dead?

 

 

 

 

RIP, Mr. Conway.

Well, shit, I just posted this in a thread the other day. I had no idea that a few days later I would be crying for a different reason.

RIP you absolute genius.

Was about to post something extremely similar.  No one has ever cracked up his costars as much as Conway did.  Not even Chris Farley.

He might have killed jimmy Fallon, Horacio sanz, or bill hader had he performed with them. 

If he was second to Don Knotts as the Greatest Supporting Comedy TV Actor Ever, it wasn't by much.  His physical comedy skills were tremendous, and the stuff he did on McHale's Navy was brilliant.. very reminiscent of Chaplain, Stan and Ollie, Keaton, etc.  

The other thing is, although I thought the Dorf videos were funny, not hysterical, I got two for my dad one Christmas, and I never saw my old man laugh harder, have a better time, and play those things 100 thousand times and never waning in how much he cracked up and enjoyed them.  I thank Tim for giving my dad more entertainment enjoyment than anything else in his life.

This of course not unexpected.. he's been in bad shape for almost a year.  Here's to a release of his earthly discomforts and I hope he's cracking them up in heaven.  RIP.

The Mrs. Wiggins sketches were an all time favorite of mine.

As a kid I remember wanting every clip of the Carol Burnett show to have Tim Conway in it.  RIP

Yep. Back in a time where everyone in the ensemble was unselfish and wanted to play their part. So smart of Carol Burnett to give him free rein.

I feel like repeating everything that is said above.  I don't think there have been many people on network shows that make you laugh like Tim Conway accomplished.  When he and Korman were in a sketch, you knew it would be good.

I assumed that he made some bank with the Dorf character and went into semi-retirement. 

might have been the absolute best impromptu comedian in the recorded age.  Dude could make almost anything funny,  say hi to Harvey Korman when you can sir.

 

you were one funny dude

Some of my favorite memories as a kid was watching my dad cry he was laughing so hard at the Carol Burnett show. Road Runner as well. 

RIP ENS Parker. Getting the crew back together.

I guess Gavin MacLeod must be the only McHale's main cast still alive now.

Fuji (Yoshio Yoda), Willie (Bobby Wright) and Happy (McLeod) are the only ones left.

Fuck I'm old. All my heroes are dead or dying.

If that doesn't make you laugh, you aren't human.  It's one of the all-time great comedy moments.

Dorf on Dying.

Yeah, had this thought right away.

Also, a sketch that hasn't made it on this thread (and honestly, one that couldn't be made today, what with the racist caricatures and whatnot):

 

Haven’t had a show like the Carol Burnett Show with such great acting and writing since. Why?

its a sad day in comedy with Tim and Harvey gone. But at least they left us with great memories.

TCBS was must see tv back in the day.  I still laugh at the GWTW skit with CB making a dress out of a curtain and saying " I saw it in the window and just had to have it."  

Such a huge part of my childhood.  Tim had it all: timing, delivery, physicality...he really didn't have a weakness yet made it all look so easy.

Don't remember ever seeing him do stand up.
