Big Lebowski - Edited For TV... Badly

[tokeburns]

you know white mexicans exist...i'm living proof.

[Badguy10472]

wtf................ this was the funniest part in the movie and they just ruined it. Fuck censorship.

[Rollerzon]

Lame!!!!!!

This makes me wanna watch the classic version :)

[Fukengruven23]

LMFAO!

[markvtos]

Hahahahaha!

[hotbabygurl35]

when u find a stranger in the alps? LMFAO

[hellhounds34]

This is what happens when you feed a stork scrambled eggs

[SmokinBabies]

poor dude

[b0b1919]

i've kidnapped lots of strangers from the alps and this has never happened to me

[IFknHateUTube]

Why did donny stay in the car?

[kfafnis]

cuz walter told him to

[123holes123hi]

this is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass

[29brian29]

this is just as bad as the snakes on a plane edit.

"I have had it with these monkey-fightin snakes on this monday to friday plane!"

well i dont know whats worse now..

might head to the alps and think it over.

[TheCanadianWanderer]

You fuzzy sock sucker

[dinomarcel3]

"when you feed a gilbert scrambled eggs"? hahaha

[gillianseed]

SCRAMBLED EGGS!!!

[Tareltonlives]

Boy, the Alpine rescue team is in deeeeeeeeep shit

[Gold3n3y3]

Find a stranger in the alps!? Who comes up with these line re-writes?

[IvanStrelnikov]

T- Gold3n3y3: The Cohen brothers themselves came up with this, and John Goodman looped the dialog for the networks.

They knew from the get-go that the original wording was NOT going to play well on the networks, so they wrote lines that sound preposterous in context, making it hilarious. Same thing was done for the network version of Snakes on a Plane.

It was either do this, which is now a CLASSIC line by the way, or let the networks butcher the film in content-edit,

[kleinbottle23]

Knowing the Coen brothers chose this just made the line that much more awesome for me.

[TheonlyLast1]

1st: This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!

2nd: This is what happens when you feel sorry for scrambled eggs!

Sorry...for scrambled eggs? WTF???

[chickenhunter2005]

number 2 is feed a stoner scrambled eggs not feel sorry

[wweecw1]

sankes on a plane is a worse edit wtf the fuck is a a monkey fighting snake on a monday to friday plane lol mr falcon from die hrad 2 is bad to

[Rainman78588]

Shut the fuck up Donnie, your out of your element. ROTFLMAO

[FishbowlPhenom]

How is that a bad edit? This just adds to the glorious Coen nature of the scene, in my opinion. Only Walter would yell things like that when destroying a car.

[ChuckZombie]

It originally said Fuck a Stranger in the ass....the TV stations are the ones who edited it.

[FishbowlPhenom]

I know that. But if you're going to edit a scene, especially one so frenetically profane, why not do it in such a random fashion? That's what I'm saying. I applaud the TV station for thinking of this, cause it doesn't take much away from the scene.

[IvanStrelnikov]

The COHEN brothers came up with this, because the TV stations couldn't care less about the content as long as they're within FCC regs.

What would YOU say besides 'YOU DO NOT FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS?'

Dont worry, ill wait for your reply.

[Piemanthe3rd]

Coen*

[millencolin09]

hi reddit

[monkmellon]

I will never EVER "Feed a soldier scrambled eggs'

[Bassplyr2006]

poor corvette

[mcslaphappy]

[writertrump]

I always thought it was WALRUS scrambled eggs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Kitteh02]

o.o

holy crap.

[incekt]

I'd better not feed a soldier scrambled eggs.

[maire83]

do you see him in the background wringing his hands once the guy starts goin after the dude's car? Love it.

[schopenhauersring]

hahaha. what an edit. hilarious.

[sjaffe]

god i have told so many people about find a stranger in the alps. i am so happy to see someone managed to record this shit.

[jakestooge34]

...scrambled eggs?! What, lol!!

[samuraikarasu]

WHEN YOU FEED A STRANGER SCRAMBLED EGGS

Holy shit.

[JohnRambo]

Find a stranger in the Alps! HAHAHAHA! Did i hear him mumbling about scrambled eggs??? Thankyou FCC. Thankyou for being such a dousher. Butchering a classic like this. Unacceptable.

[tonybolger47]

AHHHHHHH FUCKING WEAK!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ???? NNOOooo YOU DO NOT FUCK WITH A CLASSIC and what the fuck is "this is what happens when you find a stranger in the alps"??? Fucking AMERICANS is bad enough you fucked up the world but now you go and fuck up The Big Lebowski... morans

[kristiantheheathen]

Wow! You blame the American people at large for network editing?

By the way, I think you´ll find it´s spelled "morons".

[Switchmoded]

well clearly...the chinaman is not the issue here...

[LostCharm]

That'll teach him to go hiking across Europe!

[halenharris]

ahahhaha

[ArtieLangeLovesFags]

how wonderfully delicious

[RageFire12]

This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the Alps, Larry!

[twenty7cents]

LOL!

[kristiantheheathen]

There fucking ought to be fucking a law against fucking editing like this. Either fucking show the fucking film or fucking don't!

(PS) Fuck!

[88skisupreme]

Find Mallrats where the redubbed Jay, funniest tv edits ever.

[jakestooge34]

What does "Find A Stranger In The Alps" supposed to mean anyway? It just doesn't make sense.

[Brain0damaged]

If you "Find A Stranger In The Alps"... He'll probably Fuck you in the ass..! :)

[magnacore11]

they were out of their element!

[Slafshoran]

lol, soooo pathetic.

[NocturnaLucid]

"Find a stranger in the alps" and "feed a soldier scrambled eggs" I think we need more non-sequiturs edited into movies.

[lorenzosnuts]

oh no, man.

[jefkannietkoken]

lmao if they are gonna edit the whole movie. The word fucking only appears for like 1293 times during the movie.

[cidhighwind309]

the other fat guy is also spose to say:

" i just bought the FUCKING car last week"

but...of course...they edit out the "FUCKING" word...bunch of bastards XD

[LonestarGA]

So you hit the stranger you happen to find in the Alps...

With a Crowbar?

sign me up!

[sugglew]

That's what I heard too.

[JS10K]

Actually I thought this was the Best TV edit ever and this is my favorite scene (unedited of course).

I specifically remember the edits. I thought they were great because usually edits are horrible and out of place anyways. These just embrace their awfulness.

[bricitybrac]

It's like Pallies on Mr. Show

[monkeycudgel]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

you see what happens when you find a stranger in the alps ?

[lolofaoudi]

You see what happens Larry....By far one of the most cult moments in cinema history.I almost died of laughter.I can;t handle it,it;s hilarious...amazing....you see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass

[mpwelk]

LOL Scrambled Eggs

[eight6sevenfive3oh9]

Last night on Die Hard Samuel L. Jackson called Bruce Willis a "Racist Melon Farmer." I thought that was bad, but geez! Don't censor Walter, man.

[LordYggdrasill]

ROFL

[Paonk]

Hahahahaha xD

So you know, If you do meet a stranger in the alps, you are supposed to trash his car.

[YIIMM]

The Big Lebowski really isn't the kind of film you should be trying to censor.

[XxAchtungBabyxX]

The Coen's told John to just go in a say whatever he wanted, it wasn't gonna match up anyway... they said they think it was ultimately Ethan's idea to say "Find a Stranger in the Alps" they wanted it to be ridiculous and pointless. It also added to Walter's crazy.

[killerlimes]

some of the office space edits are equally awful

[MatthewLedZepfan]

It's technically a good edit. It does sound like he said it... but hahahaha, it doesn't make any friggin sense.

[Indalecio14]

lmao! tears are running.. 'this is what happens when you find a stranger in the alps'

the original is better.. but this is hilarious!

[GuySmiley689]

I'll kill your ugly car, man! x2

[ziagirl]

OMG! That was retarded! Why even air the movie if you're gonna screw it up that bad? It's just like when Good Fellas is shown...two great movies ruined by editing....

[trainedjackass]

find a stranger in the alps? wtf? the dude doesnt want this aired ever again

[RLB21220]

lol, funny...but I think the worst tv edit ever is Die Hard 2..."yippy ki yay mr.Falcon"

[DudeImStoned]

When you find a stranger in the alps they go ape shit on your car? ROFL!

[alphamone]

no, they go apeshit on your neigbour's car. :D

[chica476]

feed a walrus scrambled eggs?!

[Elliotspeck]

Did he just say Scrambled eggs??? wtf.

[ccrdevils58]

hahaha this just adds to this movie's legacy

[Dante1Savage]

is this from america, in england there would be no probably whatsoever using the original dialogue. what time in the day did this broadcast?

[eldudarinooriginale]

the time wouldn't matter here in the US - anything that airs on broadcast TV can't have "fuck" or "shit" in it. Even "screw a stranger in the ass" would not be an acceptable edit, even though in certain contexts either word would be ok, because it describes a sexual act. Some use of "Ass" and "bitch" are ok depending on the context and time of airing.

[Dante1Savage]

wow those rules are ridiculous. Anyone can own a gun but the use of some bad language is heavily censored.

[eldudarinooriginale]

lol. indeed.

[bootsnthejeep]

I think that's pretty good, considering. Even the voices are spot on, they usually sounds like one person doing the voiceovers for every character. I'm impressed. Find a stranger in the alps, feed a squirrel scrambled eggs, and fool a stranger. Man, I want to know who came up with THAT.

[kmike3]

worst edit ever agreed...some sort of inside joke maybe? lol

[captainmorgan555]

hahahaha..your right..bad edit haha

[thekth]

This is one of those movies that should not be played on network TV. It gets absolutely destroyed.

[lashdog55]

I'm staying the fuck away from alps, And scrambled eggs!!!.

[craigss]

Scrambled eggs? WTF?

[phildip]

dude what are you talking about that's the best tv edit ever, right up there with the pineapple edit in scarface.

[Kaulen777]

See what happens when you find a stranger in the ops?!

[Devilonsteroids]

alps sir. Find a stranger in the alps. Makes WAAAY more sense than the ops.

[Kaulen777]

My mistake. I saw that in another video like this, but couldn't come back and fix it :/

[giggan1]

The tv version is not for strangers to the film to watch and enjoy, its for ppl who cherish lebowski to watch and go, "what the eff is this?"

[eviltomnook]

oh god. this made me laugh more than the actual scene in the movie, and that was already funny as hell

[GuySmiley689]

This is what happens when you feed a soldier scrambled eggs!

[tomatomantm]

That's actually hysterically funny. Badly edited movies are often funnier than the unedited versions - think Blazing Saddles with its scratchy overdubs and mismatched voices - leaves more to the imagination. I especially like how they just gave up on this one and came up with one ridiculous phrase after another.

[snipeefox]

CMT edited out all the farts in blazing saddles... fuckin stupid hicks.

[aftguitar94]

don't you mean "finding stupid hicks" lmao

[dickkwikkwek]

How can they ever edit this for TV? This is one of the most profanity-filled movies i know.

[screwUtoob08]

lmao

[evolooshion]

They could've at least put fuck to fork.

But editing the big lebowski is blasphemy.

[SingularityStorm]

This is pretty bad, but my favorite, haven't personally seen it, is in Die Hard. Right at the very end, instead of saying "...motherfucker", he says "yippie kayee Mr. Falcon!"

[earlemartin]

In the 90s British TV used to censor pretty badly. That line became "Yippy ky yay kemosabe", I shit you not. And "rat-fuck son of a bitch" in Aliens became "rat-fat son of a bitch".

[Serpico69]

goddamn americans with their stupid tv edits. if they ever try to edit movies for tv over here, i'll nuke the fucking network station.

[leafdarking]

What did he say about scrambled eggs? o_O

[TorchedIce]

I think I heard "this is what happens when you feed a stoner scrambled eggs!"

[Decembirth]

could have said

"this is what happens when you screw up"

but then again. i wouldnt enjoy myself as much watching this ^_^ LOL

[kristofor12345]

lol, i wonder what they did for the rest of the movie, the script would be 1/3 as long if you took out the word "fuck" alone

[balltongue666]

That video there is now my favoured reason why I dislike censorship at times.

[Slaviccommie]

Find stranger in the alps?

It is like, You are helpless against him in alps, so he have no obstacle in way to kill You?

[balltongue666]

Oh sorry...my bad. I was too knackered to realise.

[Slaviccommie]

That wasn't answer but question man :-)

Mine question...

[nialldor]

Couldn't've put it better myself!

[heise76]

The horrible edits almost make it funnier!  I say "almost" because I have seen the original - many times. If I had not seen it, I imagine I would simply shake my head and wonder.

[FoxForever90]

They could have even said "when you screw/mess with people". Not stranger in the alps and all this scrambled eggs bullshit. WHY would you want to show the big lebowski edited for TV anyway? They say Fuck over 200 times. It's like putting the goodfellas on tv.

[GeddyYeti2112]

It's "Feed a stoner scrambled eggs."

[JuanZomby]

It's "This is what happens when you feed a walrus scrambled eggs" lol

[Satyridae]

Wh... HUH?

What was the "Scrambled eggs" bit supposed to be?

[malathis0]

It's highly likely that the Coens themselves are the ones who came up with the term, they're crazy enough to do something as batshit insane as that...

[Swidster]

"This is what happens when you feed a goat scrambled eggs!"

[spencerkicksass]

hahahaha feeding a goat scrambled eggs= some fat guy smashing up your car!

i guesss he wanted the scrambled eggs!

[jbrothers92]

thats horrible lol.

[sbaiamonte]

LMAO

[spencerkicksass]

find a stranger in the alps? is that an american saying?

what does it mean?

[ryangfilm]

No, it's not an American saying... the line in the movie is "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!", but when they edited the movie to show on TV they changed it to "Stranger in the Alps" because the editor was a fucking moron :P

[KHearse87]

I read that the Coen Bros. may have wanted the scene to be edited that way on purpose. Is the second thing he says "this is what happens when you feed a soldier scrambled eggs"?

[pgmacdon]

Find a stranger in the alps?!?! :) lol

Thats awesome

[Sugnuhlrak]

I just literally spit spaghetti and meatballs all over my computer @ find a stranger in the alps @ scrambled eggs.

[JediDanD]

Is that guy Italian?

"I'll kill you man! I just bought the car last week!"

[JediDanD]

Funny as Hell!

[BrokenCrossfader]

This edit is out of its element....

[shawerma818]

scrambled eggs lmao

[Creamesoda]

See what happens when you FIND A STRANGER IN THE ALPS?! AHAHHAHA

[MrSoprano0125]

This is what happens when you fornicate a stranger up the butt.

Edited for TV!

[DKFan4Life]

What the fuck? When children are watching this moview on Fox or the CW channel they're gonna think John Goodman is drunk and psychotic because he's destroying a car while talking about a walrus, scrambled eggs, and the alps.

THAT is a lot more damaging to a child's mind than being informed people can be fucked in the ass and...welll the word "fuck".

[RaizingArizona]

a walrus

[GuySmiley689]

I actually think that this is probably one of the best t.v. movie edits ever. Rather than leaving the dialogue out altogether they threw in the stranger in the alps bit. I laughed the first time that I heard it on t.v. Thanks for sharing with us. I am favoriting it right now.

[retardio8]

a stranger in the alps! who fuckin edited this shit

[RaizingArizona]

I don't know but I do like the original better (fuck a stranger in the ass).

[johnnyboy562]

Jeezis, you're out of your element!!

[dariendude17]

I like that they choose to make fun of tv edits instead of simply substituting less harsh words. It's better than the die hard 2 tv edit by far.

[jeeziss]

lol this is what make some movies so unbelievable. he goes for the wrong car, and instead of running up to the guy and shouting HEY WTF THAT'S NOT HIS CAR HEY FUCKING STOP, he just sort of stands back and goes "heeeey wait that's.....mine". lol no sorry hollywood not buying it.

[Swidster]

Would you confront a angry man with a crowbar anytime soon?

[bschmons]

you must have never seen the movie...jeff bridges (the dude) has no idea that the red car doesnt belong to larry...both he and walter assumed larry stole all the money and bought the car with the money. so, you're a little off there. the guy running up is the neighbor, hence the hilarity of the situation.

[reichert55]

it's a shame people like you exist.

[AidanMclaren]

This is what happens when you feed a...walrus...scrambled eggs!

[discomboabulated]

Man! I so want to see this version..

[gillianseed]

YES!! SCRAMBLED EGGS!!!

[hxcmetalhead]

find a stranger in the alps! HAHAHA

[AtomicMug]

The Coen Brothers have always had in their contract complete control over the words used in a TV edit. They deliberately wrote that, and had the actual actors record the track. The Coen Brothers are hilarious.

[b00mhauer]

That's even better than the original! Hysterical in a very absurd way.

[EthanRunt]

I Am The Warus

[RockHardBallJelly69]

Paul

[xxxxmattxxxx69]

No one has Happy Gilmore edited the scene where Shooter goes "I eat pieces of shrimp like you for breakfast" so Happy goes "You eat pieces of shrimp for breakfast" then Shooter screams "No!"

[texasB666]

when you see the movie without edits it makes fuckin scence what walter is doing =) ,but when he's yelling when you find a stranger in the alps ..it almost looks like walter realy is a nutcase or senile or something ..why edit this ,it's like shit and fuck and whore every 20 sec

[jct329]

I think the Coen brothers actually chose those lines.

[jack7474]

its like in the "Fargo" re-edit, when the guy says "I'm full of hunger now, you know." instead of "I'm fucking hungry now." pretty creative stuff.

[derpdederp101]

i never saw this movie, does anyone know wat the real unedited lines are?

[zg1000dru1]

"This is what happens when you f**k a stranger in the a**, Larry."

[Smacked980]

All the impact of this scene is totally lost to me now :-/

[radoradicporada]

perfect ! =D

[Tommmm00]

That was amazing

[xemption]

This is one movie you just cannot edit! it would take away 3/4 of the entire film!
