Comedic legends Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman have absolutely terrible memories in a hysterical skit from The Carol Burnett Show.
The aging process impacts everyone. No matter how hard some may try, they cannot and will not avoid getting older. We get older with every passing day, hour, and minute. Time, as the old saying goes, stops for no man. Aging is a simple fact of life.
Aging is such a part of life that we can literally see its effects. Men commonly lose their hair as they get older, and the hair that they manage to keep on their heads often turns gray. A woman’s hair will also turn gray. Metabolism slowing down and wrinkles appearing more regularly are all signs of advancing in age.
However, people commonly say that memory is the first thing to go when it comes to getting older. Losing one’s memory can be devastating, but Carol and Harvey show that it can also result in some rather funny and laugh-out-loud situations.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol and Harvey play a married couple awaiting friends' arrival at their house – another married couple they haven’t seen in years. But they cannot remember either the man's or the woman’s first and last names for their lives.
Hilarity ensues after their friends arrive, and they both spend every second desperately trying to get their longtime friends to say their names. Whenever a situation presents itself in which the forgotten couple might say their names, they do not, for one reason or another.
Due to some quick thinking from Carol and Harvey, they successfully disguise the fact that they have no idea who exactly they are entertaining at their house.
Aging happens to everyone, and sometimes, as the classic skit from The Carol Burnett Show demonstrates, that can make for some hilarious situations.
Proverbs 16:31 “The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.”
