Beautiful scene from "The Jerk"

[Erintoria]

They use this song in American Horror Story! it took me forever to think about where I had heard this before haha. Very beautiful :)

[KeepItGayStageNazi]

How is it that Bernadette Peters has not aged. At all.

[MYMICHELLE70]

"i didn't want to get spit on me" <3 that!

[cargy930]

The expression on his boat when she pulls out that cornet and starts to give it the full Satchmo treatment, cracks me up every time. 

[MrToyFrisbee]

So perfect...

[MYMICHELLE70]

[musicfan088]

[DickLodge68]

@musicfan088 Johnson, Navin R.....sounds like a typical bastard! "He hate these cans!" HAHAHAHA

[DrewidDesktop]

and he steps on the Uke at the end. love that wild and crazy guy - see Flydini

[StabbyMcButterPants]

The Trumpet IS the best part..! XD

[9876543210goodbye]

This was something I thought about throwing together to upload until I saw someone else beat me to it. Thanks for the the video. I think it depicts a true and simple romance which I believe to be the most realistic romances.Although comedic, it really does say a lot about true romance. i hope all of us can find a place in our soul to accept this short video as a guide to true romance.

[QuasiTraction]

6/25/1985---12/18/2009. "We" loved this song. I miss you all the time Megan Anne.

[coolkayaker1]

I'm selling the cracked Martin uke on eBay with a starting bid of $1000. I'm hoping Steve Martin will fork over for it, since he's rich. Bernadette is not, plus she's likely denied an eBay access in the insane asylum.

[LIVINGONTHEDOLE]

i bought a ukulele because of this song :)

[thesweetsummerbreeze]

Wow! It's true, I heard the Ukulele crack.

[luxuryxkill]

4:33 Steve Martin stepping on and breaking the ukulele lol

[thesqaanalyst]

@luxuryxkill I read his tweet too.

[broncobra]

Bernedette, Steve this song, heaven!

[kallabos]

Why does everyone think this song is original to this movie? It goes all the way back to the 20's.

[JMan52180]

@kallabos

Because that's where everyone heard it for the first time.

[allsoladarity]

I swear this makes me tear up every time, its like instant water works....and I'm not a big crier.<3

[TheCrapocalypse]

I hope Sally comes back to Herman... I truly do.

[sorcerio]

This movie is always funny. No matter how many times I've seen it, I laugh.

[MrBrennanmoriarty]

That Was Beautiful!

now about my "special purpose"...

[Bluespeyer]

Is she really playing that? 

[ecurb10]

Love this scene, and the song...the trumpet bit is brilliant! Thanks joeljosefsson

[bernlin2000]

Portishead brought me here

[sarahkatiekyra]

he hates these cans!

[kittenchonies]

@HermanSally- what's your number? Let's hook up. I'm in to it.

[soURfunnyYOUthink]

what usually it starts on G chord but this one its way low...what chord does it starts?

[jordan042]

@soURfunnyYOUthink G-flat. You can just tune your ukulele one half step down and play along with this song.

[soURfunnyYOUthink]

@jordan042 can u help me to do that please? sorry im new at ukulele

[OfficialMusicAshley]

Nice video!

[PH1FER]

@jaryl62 That is the best consoling I've ever f-in seen, the absolute f-in best!!!

[slumrum]

herman sally you are pathetic

[BooBoo1005x]

OTHERS HAVE DONE THIS BUT THESE GUYS OWN IT OWN IT

[BigDogsDangler]

Don't call that dog life saver....... call him 'shit head'.

[Luc88Cole]

There is nothing more romantic than when she pulls out a horn out of nowhere...

[CyberSpork]

@hermansally93 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHA

[RockytheBear]

@CyberSpork LOL

[peterfitzgerald87]

24 people don't have special purposes

[HermanSally93]

Me and my old girlfriend used to sing this song when we were together but I messed everything up and now i miss her so much and i cant stop listening to this song :( id love if she could see this because i want her to know how much i miss her and how much she means to me.. if its meant to be then she might find it someday..

[Greasydawg]

@HermanSally93 . Love's a MF'er. Sad as it is, she's prolly with another that makes her happy and your a distant memory. Dames...who needs 'em. Ah, Herman...quit crying in yer beer...pull up yer trousers and head on home. Can't live with 'em....can't fornicate with animals!

Be honest Chief, if she meant THAT much to you...you wouldn't have messed everything up. Life's lessons.

[jaryl62]

@HermanSally93 You don't need her, all you need is this ashtray. And that's all. Nothing but this ashtr.. and this remote. The ashtray and the remote. You don't need anything else. You need this paddlegame. The ashtray, the remote and the paddlegame, that's all you need.

[luigifankid2]

@jaryl62 The paddle game, the ashtray, the remote.. And he doesnt need nothing else, he needs these matches, the paddle game, the ashtray, the matches and the remote, and thats all he ne- he needs this, the chair, the ashtray, the paddle game, the remote, and the matches for sure

[HeatherAndShania]

@jaryl62 Dude, you're a genius!!xD

[TheFootOfGold]

@jaryl62 Don't forget shithead!

[Rizzano]

@jaryl62 and this magazine! and these matches!

[fergodham]

@Rizzano and that's ALL i need. I don't need one other thing... I need this. Hahahahaha

[craphappychinesepapy]

@jaryl62 What about the chair? And the thermos!

[timothyftw]

@HermanSally93 not gonna happen

[randybob275]

@HermanSally93 Cool story, bro.

[TiikerinKarva]

@HermanSally93 You're so beta it hurts.

[Beatnikzombie]

@HermanSally93 Sounds like you did something assholish. She can do better. Bwaaahahaaa!

[joshylow]

@HermanSally93 what a wuss. maybe she left because you were such a whiny wimp, Herman.

[musicLoVeR2134]

@HermanSally93 grow a set man......lol

[slickbabyyaya]

Her eyes said, "Yes!", but her foot in his groin said, "No!".

[poptop22]

Steve Martin does his greatest work when he acts silly. I don't care for him as a serious actor.

[Brandowilly]

still gives me goosebumps

[Elzoony]

Steve Martin is one of the greatest actors in hollywood!

[TheHartzler]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (all i can say)

[bugglesman]

AW!

[dude42dude]

she isnt really playing if you look closley she has man lips when playing

[EfnSco]

LOVE THIS MOVIE!

Steve Martin - Genius

Bernadette Peters - Adorable

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@EfnSco Have you ever seen "Pennies from Heaven"?

[lorenasmiles]

ive been told she looked like me in the 80s and so does lol :))

[ProfFrankify]

Still get goose-bumbs ever time during the end of that trumpet solo

[sunnysunfun]

@ProfFrankify Cornet solo you mean.

[slickbabyyaya]

@sunnysunfun They may have called it a cornet but it was a trumpet. A cornet is shorter than the trumpet used in this scene. I played trumpets and cornet for four years in high school.

[mtchll340]

I gotta get this on Blu-ray.



[Elzoony]

this makes me cry!!

[TheFishenigma]

"I've got a special purpose! You're momma's gonna love me!" LOL LOL LOL

[AirdrieUnitedDaft]

i couldnt stop laughing when she whipped out the trumpet hahaha

[saintquinn007]

This came out when I was in High School and I never forgot this scene...

This is the first time I've seen it in over 30 years...

I just looked it up because I'm buying a ukulele...

Just as good as I remember!!!

I still think Bernadette was beautiful as much as I did back then....

[Azure701]

The Jerk is just a beautiful film all round, but this scene is so effective in particular.

Her acting is so good in this, but watch her eyes at certain points in the scene - I'd swear she was falling for Steve Martin for real - that's what made their chemistry so great.

.

[MightyMartel]

@Azure701 Yeah, I know. She nailed it. Few scenes in movie history reach this level of sincerity.

[katiarmalave]

@Azure701

They were together for 4 years in real life. They were a couple in love when they filmed this scene :)

[Azure701]

@katiarmalave Ahh thanks for the info, that explains it. Still a great actress though.

[elise49866]

i love this movie so much! it just kills me when she whips out that coronet and starts playing! priceless!!! movie magic!!!

[GhostOfBugsy]

'I've got one! I've got a special purpose! And I was afraid to tell you about it!" - LOL - classic stuff

[asmileisspecial]

*cries* God.

[KJSmallz]

honestly, this is what i masturbate to at night.

[Sonorakitch]

Do you have a balloon?

[santaonthecross]

HE HATES THESE CANS!!!!

[LiberaLib]

24 people have never known love.

[doomikusz]

@LiberaLib

Damn right!

[chrisesch617642]

I'VE GOT A SPECIAL PURPOSE!!!

[graydog217]

These Cans Are Defective!!!

[viziermoo]

For the record, I did not find Bernadette Peters attractive until I saw this movie. Then again, the first time I saw her she was the witch in Into the Woods. Can she actually play the trumpet?

[sunnysunfun]

@viziermoo CORNET

[viziermoo]

@sunnysunfun I don't speak French... Hahaha. No, I'm kidding. Thank you for correcting me. I don't band. I choir.

[modeenikzoe3]

This song inspired me to learn to play the ukulele.

[MrPeguin666]

"why didn't you?"

"Well, I didn't want to get spit on me"

I love this movie 

[nickelbacking13]

reminds me of the Up soundtrack :)

[ITSrainingRAINA]

@Mightybearofthenorth ...that's what I was wondering. lol

[jayone1970]

LMAO I love this movie so many funny lines, but this song reminds me of watching this as a kid. I watched this with my pops this weekend and it still cracks us up,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"put a rubber on it" LMAOOOOO

[byrontheshizzz]

who else has a lump in their throat?

[Nautilus1972]

These cans are DEFECTIVE !!

[demonhoopa]

@Nautilus1972 SOMEBODY HATES THESE CANS! OH NO! MORE CANS!!!!!!!!

[WolfPackAttack1911]

@Nautilus1972 He HATES THESE CANS!!! :O STAY AWAY FROM THE CANS *O*

[Mightybearofthenorth]

where the hell did she get the trumpet from? lol

[deandp371]

I love how he sings the lead and she sings below him, as it were

[FunkafizeProductions]

In case anyone's wondering, she's actually playing. Or at least her fingerings are right. I just checked

[ChipolinW]

The song absolutely melts my heart. :) There are so many different versions sung by different people, but I love this version THE BEST. Too bad I can't purchase it... Wish Steve & Bernadette had made a record of this. The dialog after the song is priceless also. Sweet, funny, romantic, hysterical... So Steve Martin!

[ovechkin651]

Love the song.

[dying2self2000]

she is a beautiful lady bigtime

[deppgurl150]

I just completely melted. Steve Martin is the cutest thing ever. I'm so jelly, I wanna sing with him.

[elliottchrist]

I'VE GOT A SPECIAL PURPOSE!

Seriously, I've got to use that as a motivational saying. Works particularly well for me personally, as someone who has a special purpose.

[aytches]

I would kill to have Bernadette Peters just say my name. She's everything I want and more.

[hornygoatboy]

This was the best part of the movie for me.

[cejason]

like this if you came here because WEDNESDAY 13 TOLD YOU TOO....

[inmytree29]

Like this if you came here because of Eddie Vedder

[NoemiSMakeupTutorial]

" Why didn't you?" "I didn't want to get spit on me" LOL

[AngryGreen]

so fucking hilarious

[hiddenmgr]

was she really really playing the trumpet? someone tell me because that was good

[zinsolovelor]

@hiddenmgr Yeah she was, I think she also played it in Annie. :)

[hiddenmgr]

im watching this part on t v right now on encore channel

[DimpleScot]

that trumpet solo breaks my heart lol

[broncobra]

this song rocks so much! This scene is so beautiful. Best love scene of all time.

[MightyMartel]

Too few movie scenes tap into this kind of romance.

[memphisblues78]

eddie vedder has a great cover of this on his new ukelele album

[Lukelo92]

Steve Martin is such a babe.

[Peace4905]

Great song

[LucasCAPS]

I can't believe this is not by The Bird and the Bee. o_O

[fifa11generate]

whoever clicked dislike clicked the wrong button

[BlakeAttebury]

If you "Don't like" this, set yourself on fire.

[treborours2277]

4;33 he steps on his instrument and crushes it.... its a Martin

[Irishfreedom]

She reminds me of Alison Goldfrapp : )

[AfroFlow365]

22 people don't belong to anyone tonight

[BuddyTheeElf]

why didn't you? i didn't wanna get SPIT on me...

[MadDuckInc151]

For the amazingness of this scene alone, both of these actors should get one billion dollars and NINE CENTS!

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@MadDuckInc151 And they were in love in real life at the time.

[MadDuckInc151]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams Really? That's pretty cool.

[zerbo803]

bernadette peters is really good at the trumpet

[feltipenpixofufos]

I worship this man

[PoobahSCRG]

This scene didn't test well with audiences and was almost cut from the film. Aren't you glad it wasn't?

[eerieshor]

aaahhhhh....Bernadette Peters.....I would bathe in her spit.

[TTGBMR]

@eerieshor WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!

[DancingSpiderman]

@eerieshor Gosh, Bernadette Peters is SO yummy

[tbdonnelly67]

@eerieshor ..... and I would drink her bathwater...... hehe!

[squawkinpuss]

[purptrain90]

[hotrodius]

@squawkinpuss Hotter than magma...holy crap!
