Hilarity ensues when Harvey Korman encounters Carol Burnett as a supermarket cashier. These two comedy legends bring the laughs in this classic skit from The Carol Burnett Show. Check out the clip that will have you laughing from beginning to end, and probably even long after the sketch is over.

Grocery store shopping isn’t the most fun and exciting task in the world. Pushing a cart up and down the aisles is no one’s idea of a good or even enjoyable time. However, it’s a task that is of the utmost importance. Someone in the household must do it because everyone requires food and nourishment.

People often want to get in and out of the grocery store as quickly as possible. While that may be the objective and the desire, it rarely, if ever, happens. You’ll often encounter someone standing right in front of the needed food item. They never grab what they need and then get out of the way, either. They must first slowly read every ingredient as if they’ve never seen butter or yogurt before.

In a hilarious sketch posted on YouTube, Harvey Korman knows all too well how one slow, inconsiderate person in the grocery store can slow down progress for everyone else.

In the skit, Harvey has just picked up a few items in the grocery store. He has a date waiting for him and wants to make his purchases and be on his way. Carol, as the cashier, makes that next to impossible. Carol throws up roadblocks at every step in the process, which inevitably prolongs Harvey’s time in the store.

Eventually, by the end of the skit, Harvey runs out of patience with the incompetent cashier, and the entire store is laughing hysterically at him. Also, to add insult to injury, Harvey’s date leaves the store with another man.
