In this Mama’s Family sketch, Tim Conway didn’t target Harvey Korman — this time it was Vicki Lawrence who couldn’t survive it. Even Mama herself was no match. Playing Mickey Hart, Tim stays sweet and clueless… right up until he leans in and drops a perfectly timed whisper that detonates the entire room.
Vicki tries — truly tries — to stay in character, but you can see the exact moment she gives up, laughter spilling out as the scene disintegrates around her.
No big setup.
No warning.
Just classic Tim Conway precision.
It’s one of those rare TV moments where the break is better than the joke — and that’s exactly why people still rewatch it.
