The Carol Burnett Show/YMMV
- Harsher in Hindsight: One "As the Stomach Turns" skit gives an unfortunate double dose, the first being the storyline of Marian's only daughter having apparently been killed (said daughter in the sketch does return, having actually survived, but still...).
- The second, for a different reason, has to do with the closing "Find Out Next Time!" narration, which asks whether or not Marian will tell her daughter (who has been reassembled with bionic parts and stricken with amnesia) that "most men find a loss of memory a highly desirable trait". Given the increased awareness of Date Rape nowadays, this is bound to make modern viewers a bit uncomfortable...
- Hilarious in Hindsight: With airlines in recent years cutting costs by cutting things like free meals, this sketch seems eerily prophetic.
- A "Family" sketch sees Eunice, Ed and Mama have a parent-teacher conference with Bubba's teacher, played by Dame Maggie Smith.
- "Disaster '75" has Harvey Korman playing a bomber who can't find work because he "used to be in charge of Friday nights on ABC", this reference having gone out-of-date when ABC introduced its famous TGIF lineup in 1989, ended it in 2000, revived the format in 2003, then ended it again in 2005, effectively recycling itself.
- A sketch spoofing Let's Make a Deal has Carol dressing up as a kangaroo.
- One "As the Stomach Turns" sketch spoofing The Exorcist, with Tim Conway as the priest, has become an unintentional case of Life Imitates Art thanks to these videos.
- It Was His Sled: The "curtain dress" from the now-famous "Went with the Wind" sketch is the first thing many think of when they think of the show.
- Values Dissonance: This sketch, detailing a wife getting up and ready for her day shift (while her husband is coming home and going to bed from his night shift), ends with her telling her husband that she's expecting a baby, the joke being that such an occurance would be unlikely to happen given their work routines. Then you remember that earlier in the sketch the wife was smoking a cigarette with her breakfast.
