Tim Conway refused the king and queen entry into the palace in a hilarious skit. He took his job guarding the royal palace very seriously, to the point where not even the king and queen could get past him. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see Tim keep the palace safe, even from the king and queen.

Having a job and being gainfully employed is a blessing. Many people would vigorously argue whether that statement is true, but for most of the population, having a job is necessary. Unless you were born into an obscenely wealthy family, holding down a 9-to-5 is how everyone financially supports themselves and their families.

Most people blessed with a job would very much like to remain employed for as long as possible. Losing a job is one of the most stressful and devastating situations someone can experience. One of the best ways to remain employed is to take the position we’ve been given seriously.

In a clip posted on social media, that is precisely what Tim Conway, who plays a palace guard in a classic Carol Burnett Show skit, does. In fact, he may even take his duties too seriously. He hilariously refuses to allow the king (played by Harvey Korman) and queen (played by Carol Burnett) entry into their palace. They fail to provide the correct password, which will not cut it for Tim, and beyond the palace gates, they remain. 

Despite being completely flabbergasted and outraged at Tim’s refusal to let them in, the royal couple believe they may have found a way in. They essentially try to bribe Tim, offering him whatever he wants. However, they and no one else saw Tim’s demand coming. He would like a popsicle, but not just any popsicle. He would like a buffalo popsicle.

I'm not sure how no one broke character and started laughing, but very early in the skit, after he approaches Tim, Harvey appears to be on the verge of doing so.
