Comedy legends Carol Burnett and Betty White demonstrate their continued talent in a hilarious routine that is a masterwork of the past. The iconic pair returns for a class reunion that devolves into amusing mayhem in a resurrected treasure from The Carol Burnett Show, reminding us why they are comedic royalty.
Carol Burnett has always had a special place in the hearts of audiences of all ages because of her witty banter and endearing personality. Although her namesake variety show solidified her reputation as a comedian, her grounded demeanor has maintained her fan base for decades. Then there is Betty White, a powerhouse who is loved by all, whose sass and kindness have made her a favorite among fans of all ages.
Carol and Betty are purportedly attending a class reunion for the 1932 graduating class in this specific sketch. The amusing turn of events? The only people that show up are them. It’s evident that time has taken its toll as they reunite. Their physical humor adds even more light to the moment, and hearing accidents and bewildered talks feeds the humor.
When the two proudly appear in their vintage cheerleader outfits and attempt an antiquated cheer that clearly doesn’t work out, things take a hilarious turn. However, these two practically never miss a beat. They suddenly launched into an unplanned musical number that made everyone laugh and feel nostalgic.
Things go a little more smoothly when they go over the cheer at the conclusion, but the trip, not the execution, is what instantly makes this sketch a classic. A masterclass in comedy from Betty and Carol demonstrates that humor never goes out of style—it simply gets better with time.
