I understand that Tim Conway was supposed to have one short line about the elephant. After ruining the first take with his elephant story, Conway ad-libbed some comedy gold with the Siamese Elephant story. The "Oh, God, here we go again" look on Carol Burnett's face at the beginning of the second take was classic. The laughter in this skit is so contagious that I can't help from laughing even though I've seen this video dozens of time.

Apparently, Tim Conway took particular joy in surprising the other skit members with ad-lib lines trying to get them to break character and laugh. He even forced Vickie Lawrence to drop her head so the audience wouldn't see her laughing. Conway once said the Lawrence was always the hardest skit member to get to break character.

I the Mr. Tudball and Mrs Wiggins skits were very funny. The Carol Burnett Show - The Intercom (the first Mr. Tudball and Mrs. Wiggins)

There was a skit where Conway and Korman were galley slaves and Korman holds up a key he made from an iron ball. The slave master grabs it and says, "Aha! A key!" Conway says, "Oh, you speak Spanish!" (aqui (here)) Dunno if it went over the guys head or he was so professional he didn't break up, but wife and I were in hysterics.

For a while I was a night stocker at Wal-Mart and we had a bunch of Hispanics in the crew. One night one of them came up to me and said she needed a key (for the display cases). I pulled a Conway and said the you speak Spanish thing. She looked at me as if I was crazy - until I did the key/aqui explanation. Then she too broke up. There's not a mention of "a key" in our house that does not trigger the "You speak Spanish" routine.
