Carol Burnett underwent a hilarious struggle to get noticed at a restaurant. She wanted others to take notice of her existence while dining out with a friend in a hysterical sketch from The Carol Burnett Show. Watch the short but hilarious skit to see how badly she wanted others to know that she exists and how it does not work out for her.

People often say they feel invisible or like ghosts, unseen by others. Of course, they don’t really believe that they are like Casper, the friendly ghost—transparent and floating around. They are indicating their desire for others to acknowledge their thoughts and feelings. They want their feelings to be considered when people make choices and decisions.

Isn’t that what everyone wants? We all want to feel that what we say and do matters. In a clip posted on YouTube, that is precisely what Carol wants. However, no one seems to notice or even see her despite how much she tries. For some reason, she goes unseen by everyone.

As the skit begins, Carol is dining with a friend, played by Vicki Lawrence. She continually tries to get a server’s attention to put in her order, but that goes about as well as you’d expect. When Carol is finally able to get the waiter, played by Harvey Korman, her order, he writes it down but basically brushes it aside. She never does get her food.

Things only get worse for Carol. She isn’t even given a place setting, and the only time she is ever noticed throughout the skit is when she ends up with a slab of butter in the middle of her forehead.

Someone even comes by and asks Vicki if she needs the chair that Carol is currently using. But the biggest laugh is saved for last. Carol causes a massive disaster in the restaurant; no one seems to know or understand who or what caused it.
