The legendary Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman play a broke and bickering married couple in a side-splitting sketch from The Carol Burnett Show.

A marriage is a beautiful commitment between a man and a woman who promise to remain together no matter what life may throw at them. While standing at the altar in front of God, family and friends, the two agree to stay with and love each other regardless of future economic and medical status.

However, like everything in life, anything worth having is not easy, which is the same for marriage. Life will test the strength of every marriage at some point. Everyone encounters rough and trying situations. How will the couple respond? Will they bend and break, or will they stretch and bounce back into shape, stronger than before?

A hilarious clip of a Carol Burnett Show sketch has Carol and Harvey playing a longtime married couple down on their luck. Harvey is out of work, and their house is not in the greatest shape, with beer scattered around it. To add even more strain to their relationship, it’s the couple’s 20th wedding anniversary – a fact that one of them unfortunately forgets.

The sketch begins with Carol on the phone telling a friend about her and her husband’s anniversary and how she must tidy up before he gets home. The tidying-up process is relatively quick and easy; a few sprays of air freshener and Carol is done.

Once Harvey arrives home, the two bicker back and forth. They come at one another with one sharp remark after another. The jokes continue flying as Carol and Harvey insult one another and their two children at a lightning-fast pace.

Carol and Harvey’s marriage is not ideal by any means, but they intend to remain committed to one another no matter how much they may get on the other’s nerves.

It’s always amazing how anyone in a Carol Burnett Show sketch can keep it together without bursting into laughter immediately. Somehow, both Carol and Harvey manage to do that here.
