Korman and Conway as the clumsy dentist is very good.

Mork and Mindy had lots of good “unititated outsider” bits.

Bob Newhart would usually give me at least one stroke per episode of any of his shows from laughing so hard. Bill Cosby is also very good at that blank stare after a funny moment.

Don Adams on Get Smart was hilarious.

I don’t know. Too many good moments to pick just one.

Any 5 minutes of Dave Chapelle’s old comedy central show beats all of that.

I just don't get what is so funny about it.

Well, it is a parody of The Hindenberg mishap.

Perhaps that's the reason, other than just any promotion mishap?

It’s hard to choose, but probably George Costanzas adventures at the unemployment office, ending with Jerry saying “And you wanna be my latex salesman”.

Oh, I forgot about that! Totally excellent! I read that it was just in the script for a couple iterations, but it was going well, so they just kept it going. Funny funny moment!

I think “Get Smart” had the most phrases added to the country’s dialect. Maybe Seinfeld had more.

I don’t watch sitcoms anymore, but used to love all of them.

One of my favorite five minutes would have to be from the Everybody Loves Raymond show. The twins have to create a book in school and one of them does one called “The Mad Family.”

Their priest meets with them to discuss what can be done.

That scene is hilarious. I laugh just thinking about it.

My all time favorite is a comedy skit by the Two Ronnies.

Four Candles

It’s a little longer than 5 minutes.

“Maybe Seinfeld had more.”

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Archie Bunker being kissed by Sammy Davis Jr. was a funny bit thanks to Archie’s reaction.

1. The Walnut episode of Dick Van Dyke.

2. Betty White in The Golden Girls when talking about St. Olaf.
