There are few comedians who could make people laugh just by walking into a scene—and Tim Conway was definitely one of them. A new clip making the rounds online shows just how often he tapped into his “inner animal” on The Carol Burnett Show, and it’s nothing short of hilarious.

The video kicks off with Carol Burnett introducing Tim and joking about how often he ended up playing animals on the show. From there, it’s one funny moment after another—proof that Tim didn’t need flashy effects or complicated dialogue to steal the spotlight. All he needed was a costume, a character, and that brilliant sense of timing.

In one sketch, he plays a cow being milked for the first time. No lines, just his priceless facial expressions—and within seconds, the studio audience is howling. Then, he morphs into a cat, crawling and swatting around with such perfect feline attitude that Harvey Korman, his longtime comedy partner, can barely keep it together. At one point, Tim-as-cat even snatches a watch mid-scene, which just pushes Harvey over the edge.

The clip also shows Tim as a bunny on a courtroom witness stand, turning what should be a serious exchange into complete nonsense—and more laughter from the crowd. And when he shows up as a dog in another sketch, Harvey doesn’t even try to stay in character. Honestly, who could?

What’s amazing is how often Tim made people break character—not just his fellow castmates, but the entire audience. All it took was a single glance, a twitch of the eyebrow, or a silly movement, and the room would erupt.

Tim Conway had that rare kind of talent that felt effortless. He didn’t need to overdo it—he was the moment. Watching these animal sketches now, it’s not just the comedy that stands out. It’s the joy. You can tell everyone on that stage was having as much fun as the people watching at home. And that’s what made The Carol Burnett Show so special—and Tim Conway completely unforgettable.
