Aw, yer gonna make me cry. Just lost dad last year and he would always want to play his John Cleese videos.
Conway went off script in that one adding some extras and caught Korman by surprise making him wet his pants. Look up Carol Burnett show outtakes on Youtube. Conway's Mr Tudball needs a secretary is also hilarious. It is not quite the same version played on TV LOL.
The last show of Craig Ferguson Late Late Show has Craig wondering who has been wearing the stupid horse costume the entire time (the horse is there every night).
The horse takes off the head and it is Bob Newhart.
“Bob Newhart!! What are you doing in the horse costume!?”
“Beats me - it’s your dream!”
Then it shows Mr. Wink (or whatever the bosses’ name was on the Drew Carey show) waking up and screaming in bed. The person next to him rolls over and it is Drew Carey!
“Oh it was horrible - I was on this crummy talk show. And you were skinny and ran a fabulous game show!”
I was watching a show called “Person of Interest” and really like one episode. The brainy guy was undercover as a math teacher, and the high school kids thought it was stupid, and they were learning PI.
The speech (below) is even better on video with the kids’ reactions:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXTRcsxG7IQ
Harold Finch: Pi. Can any of you tell me what it means?
[There’s no response from the class]
Harold Finch: I’ll settle for an intelligent question here.
Lily Williams: My friend has a question, Mr. Swift. “What is any of this good for, and when would we ever use it?”
Harold Finch: Let me show you. Pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and this is just the beginning; it keeps on going, forever, without ever repeating. Which means that contained within this string of decimals, is every single other number. Your birthdate, combination to your locker, your social security number, it’s all in there, somewhere. And if you convert these decimals into letters, you would have every word that ever existed in every possible combination; the first syllable you spoke as a baby, the name of your latest crush, your entire life story from beginning to end, everything we ever say or do; all of the world’s infinite possibilities rest within this one simple circle. Now what you do with that information; what it’s good for, well that would be up to you.
That was a funny skit as well. Burnett was Scarlett O’Hara. Dinah Shore was in it. Harvey Korman was Rhett Butler as well as Tim Conway. Vicki Lawrence was the hysterical slave maid!!!
Honeymooner's doesn't count too many classics and Jackie Gleason and Art Carney are just too funny.
But the $64000 question episode where Ralph can't guess the first song after nailing every song at home family and friends through at him. I won't give it away but hilarious episode
The other that comes to mind is Ralph's diet episode: "Poor little pizza isn't good for nuttin' "!
Yes the first run with that skit was stale. Burnett gave Conway the OK to ab lib/improvise for the second recording and like you said caught Korman totally off guard which made the skit one of the all time best TV moments.
That dentist chair skit was also the first time Korman did a skit with Conway. I’ve been taping the Carol Burnett show reruns on MeTV lately and you can tell when Conway goes off script by seeing Korman break character and start chuckling!
I laugh just thinking about that episode.
"Oh the humanity!"
Dick Van Dyke show spoof of invasion of the body snatchers using walnuts.
Many have mentioned Breaking Bad’s final episode, but the third-from-last episode named Ozymandus was the greatest. It is the only item on imdb that has a perfect 5 stars, even with thousands of votes.
To appreciate the Ozymandus episode, you need to have seen most of the Breaking Bad series leading up to it. The episode just explodes the major storylines of the series in a mere 60 minutes.
1st runner up: The pilot episode (as in the first episode) of Lost.
I was going to suggest the same thing. Second best line ever said on television.
"This is an ex-parrot!" is number one in my book.
Had to be the funniest and best ending of any show ever.

Not a sitcom, but there has been no better TV in history - “The Young Turks” (Election Day 2016)
....but I think I preferred his “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose.”

Wait. Janet from Three’s company? Looked pretty average to me. Then again, not a guy so wasn’t paying too much attention to her backside lol.
What a great actor he was in that show. Couldn’t get anyone more perfect for the role :) Edith was so good too. I forget the actress name now...
Maureen Stapleton.
Close. You jogged my memory. It’s Jean Stapleton :)
