Oh Lawdy ....

I love Steve's dance here. Makes me happy.

[bumpinmag]

@waynebighorn No that's one movie ,I hope they don't touch! They always mess the good old ones up..I don't think I want to see adam sandler doing that dance!!lol

[bumpinmag]

@waynebighorn I laugh all day long ,and this was one of the best movies I've ever seen. I'm glad mable king was In this also, and the part when he calles his private parts his special purpose, I've used that shit so much thru my life ,and I'm talking I've lived In three different states ,and anytime I said that people have cracked up. So for me this movie has made that much of a Impact. the shit Is pure genuis!!

[bumpinmag]

P.S. I'm black, and I don't see anything wrong with this ,It was comedic genuis, people need to lighten up, black comedians crack on white people all the time .I guess this Is worse than us black people calling each other niggers all day long!!

[bumpinmag]

From the time I first saw this as a kid ,I thought this shit was the funniest thing ever, the best scene In any movie!!

[nate24dog]

how the fuck is this funny?

[cameltooth1]

@nate24dog It's an acquired taste. Why it is funny: 1. The house they rebuilt is just a bigger version of the same house. 2. He was "born a poor black child". 3. The dance he is doing. I didn't think it was that funny when i was younger, but it grew on me. You have to watch the whole movie, too.

[quanta10]

bwahahaha!!!

[TheProudWhite]

The whole movie and this song are amazing.....love the old working songs (and this song is NOT from the civil war era) just a song people sang, white AND black, while working the fields.

[jdewitt77]

Bernadette Peters is so sexy in this scene. I just love the way she dances. And I like her personality too. I wish I had a girlfriend like that.

[neneshubby]

I almost died laughing when he said they tore down the old house and built a bigger one.

[DancingSpiderman]

That goofy danse that Navin R. Johnson is doing reminds me of something I could see Pres. Jimmy Carter doing in his front porch nowadays BWWAAhahahaha or maybe Ron Popeil or Donald Trump HAAAahaha

[herbgardner420]

@bender1011001 I've probably watched this movie at least 100 times (no exaggeration) and had never noticed that!

[13k91]

anyone knows which song is this ??

[herbgardner420]

@13k91 "Pick a bale of cotton" by Huddie Ledbetter

[brianwesley28]

Ah, such a funny movie that I haven't seen entirely in years.

[dyad2r1]

Watch that niggah dance!

[sportdrummer15]

the 5 people who dislike this clearly cant dance

[coradm]

this scene is simply hilarioussssss!!!! the dancing he does is just classic Steve Martin

[supah1337B]

wow ...

They really did build a bigger one

[kelckeri]

How many times do you think they had to take on this scene. I bet they where all cracking up at Steve....

[SoCalyankeefan]

this movie is so terribly bad yet awesomely not good

[dubbys]

@OP you "found this clip to be extremely funny" because it is.

[DrunkenPiano]

steve martin seriously knows how to cut a rug. i love how tall he is and how fluid he moves. tall people man, something about them.

[fightmitch]

Some good blues in this movie. Shame it can't be found anywhere.

[CanadianFolkBlues]

@fightmitch the guys in this particular video are sonny terry and brownie mcghee

type that into youtube are you are in a world of good blues

also check big bill broonzy, blind boy fuller, josh white, leadbelly

thats all great blues that sounds just like this.

[joe0709]

That right there is the best rendition of "pick a bale O' cotton " that Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee ever performed/recorded. To bad the entire song isnt available through a soundtack, etc.....

[Kotlettbengt]

"But we built us a bigger one" xD

[anyways66]

so funny...love it.

[skribblegirl]

i almost expected the floor to break under him, the way it moved...

[deweypug]

One of the best dance scenes in movie history...

[kendall6699]

@deweypug LOL it is definitely one of the funniest

[DiamondsPussyNpearls]

hey look at this jig whats so funny is the man thinks hes black and back in the day they had no such thing as the urban white man then there was vanilla ice. some black dude wipped out his shit doing the steve jig. it was like a big black hole in his super fly , no i didnt really see hi wammie bar because he had dirty underpants on and he was passed out on the curb and asking me for change with the jig. not cool when i have a little girl and my mom with me.

[terantridell]

LeadBellyy

[edcjke]

love it....

[theloosegoose333]

That is funny beyond words!

[MissMael]

This joke cracks me up. They must really love that type of house, if we even can call that a house.
