Carol Burnett loses it in this classic Mama’s Family sketch. The comedic legend could not keep it together during this hysterical skit from The Carol Burnett Show. Watch this hilarious clip to see and hear what Vicki Lawrence said that caused Carol to laugh.

The Carol Burnett Show is a program that continues to supply people with plenty of reasons to laugh themselves silly. Decades after the show ended its run on television, people still look back on those skits and can’t help but laugh uncontrollably. When you have a cast made up of legends like Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman and Tim Conway, laughs will inevitably follow.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Eunice, Ed and Mama have just enjoyed a nice homemade dinner and the kids have been put to bed. Everyone is looking to kick back and relax a little bit, but Eunice has other plans for everybody. She desperately wants to play the popular board game Sorry.

Mama and Ed are both reluctant, with each giving several reasons for not wanting to play. But after much begging and pleading from Eunice, they relent, and all three sit down to play the game. Of course, nothing is ever simple when it comes to this family.

Soon enough, the insults start flying across the kitchen table fast and furious. Mama criticizes Eunice’s homemaking ability, or lack thereof, as well as the meal they have just eaten. Ed and Eunice also get in on the act, with each calling out the other for their perceived shortcomings.

Eventually, things lead to a big argument in the living, with Mama hitting Eunice with one hilarious and witty insult after another. These are too much for Carol to take, and she breaks down in laughter but tries to conceal it as best she can.

How they didn’t burst into laughter much earlier in this skit is beyond me.
