In a hilarious sketch from The Carol Burnett Show, the legendary Vincent Price handed cash to the comedic genius Carol Burnett.

Money is a necessity in life. We all need it to survive and function. However, money can also lead to issues. Having too little of it can cause problems, but having too much of it can also cause problems. A lack of monetary income makes paying bills and for essentials nearly impossible. However, someone consumed by the love of money could lose their soul. 

A hilarious clip on YouTube shows how money can lead people to resort to mean, despicable and questionable ways to obtain it. The clip features two legendary figures – Vincent Price and Carol Burnett.

In the short sketch, Vincent plays a celebrated and arrogant author at a book signing. He meets and greets fans while basking in the praise his latest work is receiving from critics and fans alike. Seconds into the skit, Carol, who dons a Girl Scouts-type outfit, enters the bookstore. She quickly explains who she is and wants to collect money to send her troop members to camp.

Hilariously, Carol, who is supposed to be playing a child, will do whatever it takes to extract money from Mr. Price. She even resorts to blackmail to help fill her tin can with dollar bills. However, Carol’s actions become more sinister and hysterical as the sketch continues.

Right before a local television interview, Carol mentions that she has found quite the loophole in Vincent’s latest novel, which everyone is celebrating. To try and keep her quiet, he gives her more and more money.

Carol eventually ends up doing the television interview with him. She gets him to talk about her group and how it needs donations while he takes off his watch and generously hands it to her.

The skit is hilarious, but it does highlight how low some people will go to get money from others. 

The Bible is also extremely clear about money and how Christians should watch themselves and guard their hearts regarding money.

1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.”
