Something strange — and undeniably fishy — is happening inside this apartment building. So who does Tim Conway call when the situation gets out of hand? None other than legendary shark hunter Harvey Korman, of course.

Get ready to laugh uncontrollably as this unforgettable parody sketch takes aim at one of Hollywood’s most famous thrillers. If you remember JAWS, this clever spoof will feel both familiar and hilariously ridiculous.

Released in 1975, JAWS became one of the most iconic films in cinema history. After its debut, countless people — especially kids and teenagers — were suddenly terrified of swimming in the ocean. A simple glimpse of a shark fin was enough to trigger instant panic.

Rewatching the film today, however, often brings a different reaction. What once felt terrifying can now seem exaggerated or even unrealistic, leading to plenty of “yeah, right” moments. That shift in perspective made JAWS the perfect target for parody.

In this absurd reimagining, residents of a local apartment building begin experiencing terrifying encounters in their own bathrooms. The culprit is a mysterious creature dubbed the “sewer shark,” which attacks unsuspecting victims through the plumbing system. The sketch opens dramatically with one woman being pulled from her bathtub, prompting Helen Wills-Fishfinder from the City Water Department to recommend shutting down the entire building.

The building’s superintendent, Wally Fuhrman, refuses to cooperate. Instead, he calls in Quint, a seasoned plumber, and confidently assures everyone that they will handle the problem themselves. Together, Helen and Quint head into one of the apartments to confront the menace lurking below.

In a moment of pure parody brilliance, Quint attempts to catch the sewer shark by lowering a fishing rod — complete with a worm for bait — directly into the bathtub. When that plan fails, logic is quickly abandoned. Helen and Quint decide that the best solution is to sacrifice Wally himself, using him as bait to lure the creature out.

Just when it appears the monster has been defeated — thanks to a stick of dynamite placed in Wally’s mouth — the sketch takes yet another absurd turn. Wally reemerges from the bathtub alive and well, quietly slipping the dynamite into Quint’s pocket instead.

As Helen and Quint congratulate each other on their supposed heroics, they exit the bathroom. Moments later, an explosion rocks the scene. The sketch concludes with Wally triumphantly cheering by the bathtub, revealed as the unexpected hero of the story.

This classic sketch perfectly captures the nonsense of JAWS through sharp satire and exaggerated storytelling. The over-the-top descriptions of the sewer shark, combined with the cast’s impeccable timing and commitment, make the parody endlessly entertaining. Whether or not you were ever afraid of the original film, the humor lands effortlessly.

Viewer reactions say it all. One fan commented, “This was amazing. What a generation and what good, clean fun. I really miss shows like this.” Another wrote, “It was great being a teenager during the Jaws era. So much culture, so many parodies, and so much fun.”

The original JAWS went on to spawn multiple sequels, but for many fans, JOWLS remains one of the most memorable tributes to its cultural impact. Whether you loved the movie, feared it, or simply enjoy smart and playful comedy, this parody is a must-watch.

Thanks to Carol Burnett and her incredible cast, this sketch continues to bring laughter, nostalgia, and a reminder of just how timeless great comedy can be.
