We are used to a young and virile Tarzan swooping off to the jungle with Jane and assuming they lived happily ever after. But old age creeps up on all of us if we're lucky. It's possible that Tarzan was a lot older than Jane, or maybe she just held up better over time.
This skit was aired in 1962 on The Jack Benny Program. Carol Burnett plays Jane and introduces her Tarzan yell, which she brought back every once in a while on The Carol Burnett Show. Jack Benny, as always, was the butt of the joke. His very appearance was the joke, and Burnett got all the good lines. (Thanks, WTM!)
