Don Rickles Hilariously Plays Frustrated Shoe Salesman on The Carol Burnett Show

Don Rickles hilariously played a frustrated shoe salesman on The Carol Burnett Show. The legendary comedian, best known for his insult comedy, appeared in a skit where he lobbed one insult after another at everyone. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see Don’s appearance in a classic sketch from The Carol Burnett Show.

Work is a must for nearly everyone, unless you’re born into an incredibly wealthy family or are a trust-fund kind who won’t have to worry about money. For the rest of the population, they must find a way to make a living, and working a 9-to-5 job is the most obvious way to accomplish that task. Yes, every job has its negatives, but most people are able to get beyond them because they need the paycheck at the end of the week.

However, sometimes, frustrations about the job can become too much, and that’s when it’s best to simply and quietly quit and find another place of employment. That is the route most people take, anyway. The less conventional and the one that should be avoided at all costs involves letting everyone you work with know what you really think and feel about them. Guess which route Don Rickles took in a Carol Burnett Show skit?

In the skit, Don is a shoe salesman who has just about had it with his job. He is tired of the job, but especially the annoying, whiny and demanding customers. Don is also not particularly fond of his boss, who is played by Harvey Korman in the sketch. After being pushed too far, Don explodes, letting loose with a series of insults, directing them at the customers and his boss.

The entire skit is absolutely hilarious, but the best part is how Harvey tries but fails miserably to keep it together as Don comes at him with one insult after another.  It turns out that Tim Conway isn’t the only one who could make Harvey burst out laughing in the middle of a skit.
