Does anybody remember this sketch form THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW? Tim Conway was the boss Mr Tudball and Carol Burnette (in a blonde wig) was his ditzy, (sexy), incompetant secretary Miss Whiggins (which he pronunuced "Miss Haaa-wigiins"). This -and the "Mama" sketches were my favorites on the show.
I remember when I was a kid/ teenager when i was staring to get chubby my father would call me "Miss Whiggins"...but soon enough we realized "Tudball" was a funnier name so whenever someone was getting fat we'd say they were "starting to look like a tudball".
The thing that just made me think of this is that my chihuahua weeighs about ten pounds and I just said to her" Wow, you're getting to be a little tudball" and my daughter said "What is a tudball?" I cant believe in ten years she's never heard me use that word before!

A very very funny sketch. I've seen a show which highlighted the "out takes"....not really out takes as they were live, but skits where one would start laughing and couldn't stop...hysterical.
