Laughter hits a whole new level in King of Parma, where Dean Martin and Tim Conway join forces and turn the screen into one big comic storm fans have been craving for years. Martin brings his smooth charm and laid-back swagger, while Conway unleashes his perfect timing and playful troublemaking, and together they create pure chaos in the best way. The movie is packed with wild mix-ups, quick one-liners, and scenes so funny you can’t help but replay them. Critics are already calling their partnership “comedy gold,” and they’re not wrong. King of Parma isn’t just another film—it’s a bright, joyful reminder of what happens when two comedy legends meet at the very top of their game.

In a hilarious skit from The Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway plays the role of Dr. Percy — a willing participant in an experiment trying to cure swine flu. However, when Dr. Percy starts having adverse effects from all the shots he’s received, hilarity ensues!

Most people don’t enjoy visiting the doctor. Those visits to medical professionals become even more dreaded when those stops include shots. While shots and vaccines are necessary to keep us safe and healthy, who enjoys being stuck with a needle? No one, that’s the answer.

However, Tim, in a hysterical skit, doesn’t mind shots all that much. Tim appears in the sketch alongside Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman as a couple of doctors celebrating at a restaurant. Tim is Dr. Percy, who volunteered to take a variety of shots, hoping to find a cure for the Swine flu.

Everything seems great until Tim runs out for a moment. But when he returns, there is something noticeably different about Dr. Percy. As usual, when Tim and Harvey are in a sketch together, Harvey has a hard time keeping it together.

Harvey cracks up as he watches Tim munching down on a banana peel. Somehow, Carol is able to keep it together throughout the skit.

Then later, near the conclusion of the nearly 8-minute skit, Carol also begins experiencing a similar reaction to Tim.

The Carol Burnett Show, even decades after it was on television, continues to keep people howling with laughter. Harvey, Carol, and Tim genuinely seemed to like and appreciate one another.

At times, it almost seemed to be a competition between them to see who could get the other to break character first. I’m going to say that Tim was likely the winner of those possible competitions. Harvey, who seemed to always play the straight man, was always laughing as he does yet again in this sketch.
