[burmiester1]

I GOT THAT BEAT!!!!

Lol, I told everyone I know about this.

YOU MADE MY YEAR!!!! =D

[GradiusMojo]

@burmiester1 Thanks, I appreciate it. Maybe my vids will get more views. Check out some of my other vids. Cheers!

[GIVEmeSOMEsugarBA8Y]

Pure unadulterated Genius

[aj5lawrence1]

dude ive been the biggest jaws fan ever since i was born. i know every line in the movie. this....is amazing, and i laugh every time. u are awesome

[029Mhelz]

HAhaha I love the laugh of richard Dreyfuss!

[irishblood6355]

i like to listen to the original monologue and replace 'shark' with 'vagina.'

[100jonnywoods]

farewell and a do to you fair spanish ladies look at quints face he loving it lol

[100jonnywoods]

good speech

[Kwintin137]

I love it how after everything Hooper keeps on laughing.

[MrCoal11]

LOL

[SpatialAnomoly]

Sir, you are a twisted, unacknowledged genious ...

[GradiusMojo]

@SpatialAnomoly The best praise yet. Thank you. Cheers! 

[pejb83]

@GradiusMojo hahahaha oh man you have got to get into a video editing career of some sort

[Cuntfinger]

"Anyway, we delivered the bomb." Yeah, whatever, lol.

[theBaron0530]

I'd like the last 2:43 of my life back, please.

[Jacklgf]

i'm confused, why did you make it stupid sounding?

[beans4943]

Tiger...No Charlie Sheen Shit... Get your eyes open and hear the voices that echoes past you.... no distress signal had been sent

[Mr7893]

The shot where the boat is silhouetted against the water and Hooper is laughing really got me haha

[FuckFaceUnited2000]

I'm 23 and I've recently become fascinated with the story of the indianapolis, can't possibly imagine what those sailors went through for those 5 nights/4 days. I really need to find a book on it somewhere.

[TheItaliamarco]

had funny moments

[BJZnRPZ]

You cut out the best line, about the sharks lifeless eyes, like a DOLLS EYES !!!!!!!!!!! DAMMIT

[WatTyler13]

At the risk of upsetting any sensitive souls, am I the only one who thinks this was actually badly edited?

[seshwondo]

@WatTyler13 It was terribly edited, so don't worry about upsetting anyone. The original scene that was actually used in the film is one of the greats of cinema. Unfortunately it's a sad truth of humanity that there are some whose lives are so empty or pathetic or filled with regret that all they have left is tear down the achievements of others.

[nuitetjuors1]

@seshwondo



you and WatTyler13 seem to share the same sense of humour.

[enterthetekken]

@nuitetjuors1 It's pronounced Twatyler

[nuitetjuors1]

@enterthetekken

i don't doubt it for a minute!

[GradiusMojo]

@seshwondo, I am perfectly aware that this is one of the greatest scenes in cinema history, and this spoof in no way diminishes that fact. I've had people like and dislike this, and I can understand both opinions based on the merit of the humor on display, but the conceit that this somehow degrades this scene is laughable. Satire is a constant in history, and all art, regardless of merit, is subject to it. I love the film Jaws, and know the film inside and out, but can still laugh at it.

[seshwondo]

@GradiusMojo Yeah, you're right. I was just in a bad mood the particular day I wrote that..

[woody7141]

Enjoy being 13 poster, it won't last.

[SCOTIMFG]

that was great i was laughing so hard

[makaveliangod]

How bodgy

[MrMegalodon1000]

i like the hubby rogers part!!

[CanineFaeces]

Good edit, mate. I've seen that speech many times but never like that. It made me laugh the way you took Quint's speech and just shit all over it, lol.

[norristerse]

i wouldn't have thought the subject in hand was of such a level of gravity as to rule out humour but don't worry, i've been amused all right!

[captainunload]

@norristerse

Well, the thing that bugged me more was your pseudo intellectualism. I think that needed to be confronted. You may have a debilitating struggle with pride that needs to be addressed before you go on miscorrecting people on language... miscorrecting ;-)

[norristerse]

@captainunload

"bugged" you, eh? ...so much for your emotional detachment!

[captainunload]

@norristerse

I didn't mean i don't EXPERIENCE emotion. But in my analysis and communication of the information, I try to keep insults, ego, and other such emotional appeals out of the dialogue. Any reason you decided to start a new thread? It wasn't so you could fly under the radar and get the last word in more easily, was it? I'll let you have it. I think I've said everything that needs to be said.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

i didn't see any effort to keep emotions out of the dialogue, you've been chucking the toys out of the pram from the kick off.

ok with me, be my guest!

[MichaelMyers87]

lol

[thewomandirector]

Brilliant! "Stop interrupting Uncle Quint!" Your version is much more realistic!

[dustygrimm]

Genius!

[Richardhedditch261]

This verbal dissertation by Quint explains why Quint susequently smashed 'Brody's' radio - because Quint and the rest of the Indianapolis crew were under radio silence when on their 1945 mission to 'deliver the bomb'. And it also explains Quint's determination to go down being eaten by a shark, because this is what happened to a majority of his crew mates on the Indianapolis in 1945.

[captainunload]

@Richardhedditch261

Interesting interpretation. You make it seem like he subconsciously wanted to die. However, I don't think its that complicated. I just think it was pride. He wanted to do it himself, and collect the reward. It was more like Ahab than self destruction.

[Richardhedditch261]

@captainunload I think you're right, in that he [Quint] wanted to get the shark, and get the reward, but the cinematography does throw up the concept of Quint's fatalism, like I referred to. If there was any credence to my theory, then it would also explain why Quint subsequently revved the Orca to overload, [deliberately], so that it carked it. Also, it is Herbie Robinson's baseball bat that Quint smashed the radio with [Herbie Robinson; baseball player from Cleveland - bosun's mate].

[captainunload]

@Richardhedditch261

You present a good case. Perhaps he did possess an element of self destruction. However, considering his resistance to Hooper and his gadgets, and his over all rage, I'd say he was mainly just stubborn and prideful.

[Richardhedditch261]

@captainunload The time that Quint admitted defeat against this shark was when he stated that "We're going to draw him into the shallows and drown him." Up until then Quint was eyeing off the prize, which involved giving the taxidermi man the mother of all shark jaws to process. So up until the time of this admission of defeat, his 'agenda' was changing, and, from after then, it was ENTIRELY to do with reprising his Indianapolis scenario. That's my reading, anyway - for what it is.

[Richardhedditch261]

@captainunload So good is the script that I forgot the other factor. Had Hooper and Brody not brought up the matter of the Indianapolis, however inadvertantly, then Quint almost certainly NOT have sought an Indianopolis scenario for himself on that particular excursion, even though such a propensity probably always lay with Quint every time he went out to sea, and engaged, particularly, sharks.

[captainunload]

@Richardhedditch261

Well, I can appreciate your examination. However, how do you interpret his finally giving in to the use of Hooper's needle and cage? I think he humbled himself because he was willing to try anything to kill the shark at that point. As opposed to truly wanting to go down with the ship.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

"prideful"? "PRIDEFUL"?

could "proud" be the word you're groping for?

(grammar aside, i agree with you!)

[captainunload]

@norristerse

Type in prideful in an online dictionary. It comes up. I use it because it carries a slightly different flavor. People usually interpret being proud as a good thing, whereas prideful has a slightly more negative connotation.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

don't mind me, i was just being pedantic

(or should that be "pedantryful"?)

[captainunload]

@norristerse

No that won't work. I don't see it in the dictionary. Besides, that would only apply if you were actually knowledgeable on the subject. And, as I said, prideful is in the dictionary. Further, youtube and/or firefox recognizes it as a word (as it doesn;t attempt to correct the spelling). There are probably better, entirely different words with which you should be described.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

the trouble with online dictionaries is they're the same ones that include recently made up words like "deplane" (widely attributed to herve villechaize)



[captainunload]

@captainunload

Language is meant for communication. I believe its a means to an end, not an end itself. Be free. Let it go Quint.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

it helps communication if you get the address right!

anyway, the compilers of wiktionary don't need to make up words like "prideful" if they are willing to give people credit for being able to guess whether or not they mean "proud" in a pejorative sense.

[captainunload]

@norristerse

1) The address was right. You knew what I meant.

2) It wasn't wiktionary.

3) You're just arguing now. Admit that you were wrong. Allowing yourself to be objective and emotionally detached in a debate is a far nobler quality than being anal about language legalism.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

"LEGALISM"?

....wow, you've got a truckload of them haven't you?

[norristerse]

@captainunload

don't get your "phaetons" in an uproar, i was just "enturbulating" you!

[captainunload]

@norristerse

The man who has a problem with the word "legalism" uses the word "phaeton"...

[norristerse]

@captainunload

it can't have escaped your notice i used both terms in inverted commas. (or quote marks you know, those things you represent when you waggle two pairs of fingers?)

[norristerse]

@captainunload

between this page and taking a sneaky look at your own profile, i'm beginning to see where your imperviousness to humour comes from.

poor old god, eh? having to listen to you every sunday!

[captainunload]

@norristerse

May I present an alternate "hypothesis"? Perhaps your "facetiousness" lacks the desired effect and is just "churlish" or downright "awkward"? It all started with you (attempting) to be a language elitist. I'm not mad at you and I think I've got a decent sense of humor. But, I must say I wasn't tickled by anything you've written. No offense, its not personal.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

i don't claim to be bob hope, but the humorous intent should have been obvious.

you've been pretty quick to take offence from the outset, which led me to my conclusion about your sense of humour.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

in my capacity as a language elitist though, there's no (need) for the gratuitous (brackets).

[captainunload]

@norristerse

I'm just saying. From the outset you were annoying, and you weren't even correct. Prideful is a word. I'm not angry, I'm just not amused either. I don't see the humor in correcting someone over such a small matter, particularly when it isn't even a small matter because it is a real word in the first place. Society has too many faux intellectuals that end up spreading more misinformation and obnoxious behavior than they do anything else. No offense. Not mad, I'm just saying is all.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

not quite sure what you mean. could you explain it in a long paragraph full of repetition and self contradiction please?

[captainunload]

@norristerse

I already did that, but without the self contradiction. You can be annoyed without being angry. Granted its a thin line, but I chose 'annoy' (much like I chose prideful) to illustrate that fine precision. I just wanted you to understand I don't want to engage in a YT flame war, especially over something so trivial as your being mistaken about language. The positive thing to take away from all of this is that you were able to receive linguistic correction in a creative way.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

and the bit about it being a small matter and not a small matter?

i'm afraid that subtle distinction was also lost on me.

[captainunload]

@norristerse

Oh, sorry. I'll explain the subtle distinction. You thought I wasn't using a real word, yet you still knew what I meant (if you were right, it would've been a small matter). Even though it would've been minor, you still inserted your unsolicited two cents. Now, it having been revealed that prideful IS a word, we see in fact that it was not even a small matter because I made no mistake. It was no matter at all. Your perception was flawed from the get-go.

[norristerse]

@captainunload the reason i suspect "prideful" is a neologism is because any negative connotation is carried in the context in which it is said. when you used it you prefixed it with "too" (as in "excessively") so proud still works in that sentence.

obviously we'll never convince each other and i'm in the hopeless position of trying to prove a negative, but what's your take on the other examples i mentioned ("de-plane" etc)? personally, they make me want to eat my own head.

[captainunload]

@norristerse

De-plane? As in to disembark from a plane? Or as in the midget from Fantasy Island shouting it?

We have different demands of language. I view it primarily as a means of communication. You seem to view it as a Law that must be obeyed.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

de-plane as in disembark. the herve villechaize reference was a joke (whooosh!)

your grasp of language is on a par with your communication skills, i grant you that.

as to your earlier contention that language is not an end in itself, tell that to an etymologist who gets paid by the word.

[captainunload]

@norristerse

"your grasp of language is on a par with your communication skills, i grant you that."

Thanks for the sideways insult. And, you can have etymology without obsessing over it in the course of daily language. Do you follow all of societies little rules and regulations perfectly? Perhaps you can lecture youtube on the evils of pulling the tags off mattresses next...

[norristerse]

@captainunload

funny how one correction is tantamount to having an obsession! i bet your teachers had a delightful time with you.

(your last sentence reveals traces of humour, you want to watch that)

[captainunload]

@norristerse

1) It wasn't a correction. That's the problem. You're advocating something untrue and then you refuse to concede your error. That is where the obsession comes from. An inward reality expressed through many unreasonable and incorrect statements.

2) I already said I had a sense of humor. I just try to shelf it when critiquing irrational people. Then prideful motives can start to surface on both sides, as each person desperately tries to prove that he is more clever than the other.

[norristerse]

@captainunload

1) oh not, not itemised comments again!

2) saying you have a sense of humour is one thing. disproving it with almost every comment is another

[captainunload]

@norristerse

To everything there is a season. A time to be humorous, a time to be emotionally detached, and a time to use numbers to help organize content. Humor shouldn't permeate every facet of life. In this scenario I thought it was more important for you to learn something than be amused ;-)

[92af]

Jaws is one of the best movies ever

[thegreeninferno]

"Don't tell me, don't tell me..... you were on the Indianapolis"

[Holdenon3]

BRILLIANT!

[jesper18]

good job friend, poor quint they wont listen to his story ha ha ha

[off2mianus]

How did you manage to upload this? Everytime I upload scenes from Jaws they are blocked from most countries.

[RecutWTM]

Oh wow, I just did a recut of this scene myself and I'm crackin up at how similar they are! Check mine out if you can, great job!

[captainunload]

"let it go quint". as in stop crying over the massacre you big baby.

[ufuckfacesonofabitch]

@captainunload Hooper doesn't care what Quint went through to survive!

[captainunload]

@ufuckfacesonofabitch

No respect.

[Toyotomi]

"On thursday morning chief, I bumped into an old friend of mine..."

"Don't tell me...mother!" *laughs hysterically*

I feel bad for Quint, but that's my favourite part of the video. Good job on the editing.

[xcgg]

AH!! I can't stop laughing

[kazuyasd]

-What's that?

-It's a bull shark. AAAHAHAHHA!!!

I feel bad, Quinn looks sad XD

(That rhyme was coincident.)

[red2138]

lmao that was some funny stuff man!!

[hippowithnoodles444]

ahh so great

[wkndsquire]

Good timing for the line, "Hey, Quint. Let it go.".....lol.....too funny.

[blasabb]

DAMN that was so funny! Really great stuff. Laughing every time i see this video. Hooper is such a bastard in this video! Thanks ! Really well done!

[SCE2AUX]

"It's from a Moray eel."

"What happened?"

"She broke my heart"

Yep, that's a female moray for you. Quite independent, never caring.

[SCE2AUX]

Sad thing is, if Quint had delivered that speech to a couple of twentysomethings today, he'd probably get the same response.

[BigMac5015]

@SCE2AUX I'm 14 and I like this, so yea that is pretty sad

[BigMac5015]

@SCE2AUX  by i like this i meant the real speech, this is funny though

[Lokasena]

just pray Quint doesn't come to spike you're B-hind on his harpoon, ya panzy! :P

[Bachtin08]

1:45 "I bumped into a friend of mine..." "Dont tell me - MOTHER!!" ROFL

[j43ms]

what a callous pair of bastards, heckling him while he's trying to tell them about the indianapolis!

[STILLNEEDANAME]

you know its the editing- right?

[j43ms]

yes thanks! i was laughing when i wrote that!

[j43ms]

oi, stop givin me the thumbs down, i was joking! just cos i didn put "LOL" at the end of it....!

[STILLNEEDANAME]

i can dig... also- didnt thumb!

[j43ms]

'preciate it, bruv!

[flyers22]

Haunting scene. Like the russian roulette scene in the Deer Hunter.

[Bosnianboy83]

At 0:50 Quint reminds me of my dad.

[chemudas]

[plokijuhujiko]

[GrossBatman88]

[MiLLaBoy92]

[LadySierraSays]

Solid GOLD !!!! , the best part of the whole movie I think !!!!

[lprizman]

to many cut's,,,,sucksssssssssASSSSSSS­SSS

[wildhippy]

Heavy handed, you can feel the director in the room . Plus I think he should have leaned on 'we delivered the bomb' in a more ironical way, perhaps intimating at some karma. Otherwise this is just one unlucky dipshit who can't stay away from shark infested waters. This could be his destiny, however.

[jmoriarty74]

Heavy handed? We've got a guy here making brilliant, inventive and hilarious recuts probably using his computer at home. Give the man some credit.

[MrFlopz]

I didn't watch this but............... YOU CAN'T REVISE QUINT'S SPEECH!

[SharkyJaws12]

this is such a famous speech

[Lowclef]

dude, just watch it. its inventive

[cujo9]

what i want to know is, in this scene, where are they supposed to be located ?

in the middle of the atlantic at night ? or was it the pacific ocean ?

[sox09fan]

sorry i haven't seen the movie in 20 years.I just read the book "In Harms Way" and this is the first thung i saw on you tube.I didn't realize it was edited....I didn't catch the "revisited"

[sox09fan]

[JulesWinnfield69]

thursday morning i bumped into a friend of mine..wait dont tell me..mother hahahahahahaha

i was dying cuz its so fckd up lol i could see quint gettin ready to kill hoop...

[endeckerBM]

My God, that is one the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Brilliant!

Thanks a lot!

[KSUmst3k]

5/5 very good, I laughed too hard over this, & this is one of my favorite movies/scenes from a movie.

[lukestopford]

pretty lame really.........

[ufuckfacesonofabitch]

@lukestopford don't lie!

[securitasmith]

Extremely funny, Hooper is over-the-top in this one. Hilarious!

[charliehaa]

its a bull shark

[goatsie6000]

Great shit! ;)

[EnSkiva]

Lol hooper seems to have a good time :P

[SluttyChicksInFlicks]

This really cracks me up...I love when after all of it Hooper asks..."You were on the Indianapollis?" I lost it, man...trully awesome stuff! Keep it up!

[ganzofsorrow]

hahahahahahahaha i laugh as hell!!

[kindup2]

Oh, man. Thanks for the laugh; I needed that. One of the best scenes of all time bastardized...hilarious.

[goiter666]

Sweet Jesus. Great love for the scene. Allah be praised. Curse be upon your awesomeness.

[schulle2b]

good work!!!

[AdognamedOp]

AhhhhhHHHHAHAHAHAAaaaaa...

Best one yet Gladius.

[amerdan]

Really really good!

[wolfgar2]

Blasphemy.

[cheers9128]

That shit was actually really funny. i dunno, it just wuz

[GrandPrix55]

LOL Brilliant

[frontlobo]

Funny, but bothersome to me as the survivors of the USS Indianapolis are having their annual gathering in Indy this week. Don't think they would be laughing!

[plokijuhujiko]

excellent! i gotta wade through your sorry ass remix looking for a great scene from a cool movie! whatta contribution! kudos! you took something cool and made it lame! PUTZ.

[tygard1910]

brutal, thanks for butchering a great scene in one of the greatest films, you're parents probably hate you, and will hang themselves for raising such an ignorant son/daughter with an awful sense of humor

[daFBtigga136]

haha i played this for my parents who saw it in the theatre in 75' and they didn't laugh nearly as much as i did but i love this

haha great job

[easypeesyjapanese]

That's hilarious: you took a famous speech and then -- and this is what killed me -- shuffled it around slightly so as to make what he was saying...Hhahhhhah...I can't type any more: you're too funny...'twelve hundred men went in to the water'...and then you cut it again...haaaahh. That's some funny sh1t, man. You must feel proud and strong. I can't wait to see what you train your comedic lens on next. No offence, mind.

[verdantabyss]

haha i like your style - "i cant wait to see what you train your comedic lens on next" - bwahahaha

[inanenvelope]

When you look at that, you can feel that you are actually going insane with the guys, you sense your brain going nut : then you remember everything is crazy, that this is no joke. It's just that the reality is brutally funny :-)

[macthaidhg]

Actually no, its perfect. From 2:10 onwards killed me. Top notch editing

[macthaidhg]

Clever. Slightly patchy in places but highly entertaining!

[cushing1zz]

that was one of the funniest things ive seen in years!! f***ing hilarious!!!!!!  you guys are geniuses!! Oscars all round guys:)

[X5FK]

Yeah That is some funny $hit. I love this movie and Robert Shaw's monolouge is one of the top five best cinama monolouges of all time. Nice editing..LMFAO

[TheGreatEye]

Lol!

[Naboo01]

Rubbish!!

[suckmyclock]

Well, I see you've been doing other work already! :P Great editing as usual, and the ability to leave me without breath.

[South0Park04ever]

fantastic!

[mcolasante91]

this is just awesome my favorite movie of all time and this was still very funny.....thnx

[Lowclef]

trivializing greatness, in a word hilarious

[Lowclef]

Great editing!

[stickshifter2]

awesome

[Newspeilberg]

great great
