groove tube

[marcopolo3120]

LOLOLOL! WTF DID I JUST WATCH!? I died when the plate broke from the first loaf! LOL

[CVargas]

This made me laugh so hard the first time I saw it.

[Xervosh23]

I haven't seen this is in probably over 25 years.

[longfootbuddy]

this is a great movie, but i think this was my favorite part

[ERIXWORX]

aw, GAWD! the best part of a great movie- seen it sooo many time, and laugh every single time

[trotp3]

I hurt myself every time I watch this.

[SonofMrPeanut]

Oh no! I forgot to buy Easy Lube Brand Vegetable Shortening! X( No heritage loaf for me this year.

[kinzeUK]

Love this film - I can't find the saftey sam clip anywheres though has anyone uploaded/got that??!

[Lukaz1989]

i like to add a tee-spoon of human-sweat-salt

[cinemascotland]

Absolutely fantastic! God, what brilliant writing!

[JewLoco]

4th of july heritage loaf

[littleyellowkite]

I just about wet my pants laughing at this.I think I stopped breathing!!!!

[itsowizi]

I've recorded this movie on the cable here in France 10 years ago and took the videotape to all of my friends... it is now very worn:( but I think it is the funniest sketch I've seen in my whole life! along with Koko the clown

[49bobbyk]

I have laughed my butt off to this skit so many times. Groove Tube is by far one of the funniest movies of all time.

[sladariusc]

LMAO!

[simonefromsm]

pour ceux qui déjeunent tard. une bonne pitite recette de monsieur Preskovic

[mrREDBIRDFAN]

When alls said and done it makes ya kinda hungry,don't it? Why do they discard the apple peel? That seems wasteful.

[cceciljr]

Be SURE and get this festive holiday treat RIGHT!!! MMMM UM MMMM!!!

[DevSodDribble]

This is so great-it's the exact same kind of 70's Pyrex cookware shit that my mom and my grandmother made everything with. (They made much better food than this, though.) :D

[Dreaded88]

@DevSodDribble Well the movie was released in '72, so you figure...

[ricarleite]

@Dreaded88 74

[BankruptMonopoly]

funniest movie EVER.

[olsh777]

it's chevy

[Flutterbye811]

@olsh777 how might you know this, olsh? everything I have seen indicates that it is not Chevy Chase's hands, but Ken Shapiro's. sooooo, explain how you've come to this conclusion.

[sequel6]

@Flutterbye811 Definitely Shapiro. Look at the body.

[CrashingCrockery]

That soothing, sensible voice sounds like that of Anthony (Norman) Perkins.

I also tried this, but had to keep pausing the video, as the directions are hard to keep up with.

[tuxguys]

Anyone above a certain age will remember that, in the '50's and early '60's, daytime TV was filled with these kind of demo-commercials from the "Kraft Family Kitchens..." I seem to recall it happened a lot on "Art Linkletter's houseparty." Incredibly involved recipes that usually involved Velveeta or CheezWiz or Kraft Caramels, with the voice of Ed Herlihy seeming to have a near-climactic experience as he narrated the instructions.

This is an (only slight) exaggeration.

[Snowee]

Oooo that looks delicious.

[HJKmaniacs3]

did you notice that he puts the knife into the pan? hahahahahahaa!

[80sthrowback]

So bloody funny! When the cherry hits the bowl, haahahah!

"insert the olive pits into the pitted cherries, then insert the cherries into which we have just inserted the olive pits into the pitted olives" I love it!

They are Chevys hands, you can tell from the mannerisms and he's got the same gold ring on as he does in the letterman interview I just watched.

[HJKmaniacs3]

i about pee'd my pants!!! XD

[Pookatube]

He said "Urine Tire Family"!!!

[puppetxchan]

I have never giggled so hard. :3

[dazbishop]

FYI

Those hands belong to Chevy Chase, no shit!

[Flutterbye811]

I believe they are Ken Shapiro's hands, not Chevy Chase's. Chevy Chase is the "fingers" in the yellow pages "let your fingers do it." ad, along with 2 other sketches.

[longfootbuddy]

@Flutterbye811 ye, clearly its the short guy, not chevy

[jigglypants1]

Oh god I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

[seaboisea]

i dont get it :( what was the point of it?do you reckon the nife was in the loaf the prepared earlier......

[sunnoisamazing]

fred durst put a link to this on his twitter for real! LOOOL whats up lil freddy D?

[FightBizkit]

sooooo funny ahahahahaah

[1StoryMagnet]

I got everything but I couldn't find the kramp easy lube brand vegetable shortening

they didn't know what i was talking about at the grocery store im stressing

[rayrayxo24]

mmmmm..looks so good...think ill try that

[mickeyqbitsko]

Why is it so goddam funny when the cherry pops into the glass bowl? Seriously, the first time I saw this I pulled all the ligaments in my ribs and couldn't breathe right for a month.

[philosophersphone]

Then, insert the cherries into which we have just inserted...

Age 8 when I saw this. Made me the man I am today.

[giveabighand]

I first met Groove Tube in 1972 when they came to U. of South Dakota! That goes back a long way!

[VIDEODROME13]

Don't know if I'm easily amused but this shit cracks me up. Especially when the plate busts.

[thesurpriseshow]

Didn't I see this last week on Martha Stewart, or was it Rachel Ray?

[ToruKun1]

Naw, I saw this on Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee! XD

[wilde4art]

This has been a family favorite since the 70's. I just love the Kramp Dairy Foam Substitute. I look forward to the 4th just for the Heritage Loaf. Happy Independence Day USA!!!!

[gwengoadalso]

come on mom I am hugry is it the 4th? dont forget the flag! claer!

[arielstorm]

I first saw this on the show The Great American Dream Machine when I was much older.Back in the 70's. Much younger now and I still crack up!!

[mickeyqbitsko]

You're getting younger?

[3rdandnowhere]

I tried it. Mine did not raise like that. I did something wrong. Not enough Kramps.

[kyborencha]

1st time i seen this i was on acid ...and spent a good 2 and a half hours laughing...i still do at 4:40 till finish

[kensmdad]

LMAO. This was soooooo damn stupit and funny. I remember seeing this in the late 70's my family was in stitches seeing this. That 4 th of July desert looked so yummy it was two sinder blocks with whipped cream between. This is GREAT

[wilcojoe13]

My family and I have been laughing at this for years, my Da & Uncle laugh so hard they cry, Ken Shapiro(the hands) is a comic genius !

[aIlteesup]

groovy

[bhughes1971]

This is even funnier when you are stoned.

[bernie57]

hehehehehehehehehehe

[cbdisco]

this is my favourite thing ever filmed! yeah for the poster! xxx

[lausanois]

i can`t believe, is here, i saw this movie in 1975, when i was studing in Austin tx, great memories from that time, i`m from mexico

[lamccaugh]

LMFAO!!! Move over Rachel Ray, so chew some hay!!

[madsixtian]

OMG.........this is so damn FUNNY!!!

[bigbooti00]

Marthe Stewart EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!! LMFAO!!!!

[CelesteK]

WTF?!

[CelesteK]

Is this ad for real?

[actmishart]

its from a movie called the groove tube

[CelesteK]

Oh I see. :)

[joelkazoo]

Next to "The Koko Show", probably the funniest sketch in the flick! Thanks for posting!

[DGMHERO]

Is that even a lady?

[Bertonator]

I think it might be Ken Shapiro with shaved arms.

[lyronpa]

"Spread a half cup of leftover mashed pototoes" that rips

[tw12a34nkl]

"Pour equal amounts of each casserole into two 8-inch bread pans....", then watching the actor try. I nearly pissed myself....

[taxman53]

Saw this as a double feature along with the Foreman-Ali fight in Zaire. I think Chevy Chase was in one of the skits.

[StanPomeray]

"Kneed the contents of each"....what, a dish full of water, apple peel and a knife? LOL

[wilcojoe13]

Quite possibly the funniest skit of all time !

[LJARSONBECK]

why isn't this available on DVD sure the film has dated references but it has alot of very funny moments

[blackmountainboar]

My friends and I rented this movie, without ever seeing or hearing about it, back in high-school('85) and laughed our arses off!

Then could not find it for years.

I purchased it on e-bay about six years ago(still there).

One of my all-time favorites.

[mgol2667]

I nearly personally wet myself.

[i89mondo]

wow that looks very tasty can some one post me the Recipes i just love cooking thanks

[Paulosoy]

I don´t get it. Why is this video funny?, can somebody explain it to me?

[paisleypower30]

You would never do this to cook something! OMG! Waste of silly steps! Like peeling the apple, to attach the peel, to discard it later? LOL I don't thik you'd even be able to eat the finished product LOL

[StanPomeray]

Because everything she is told to do is completely pointless.  Thats what makes it amusing.

[johnpickle]

Nothing has ever made me laugh that hard!!!

And I'm not even on acid this time.

[54spiritedwill54]

One of the funniest skits hehe! cracks me up every time I see this!

[0retch0]

haha only in america

[theclashfan3149]

i tried this, it acually doesn't taste that bad.

[Dreaded88]

@theclashfan3149 What Antique store did you get the tub of Kramp's Easy-Lube Vegetable Shortening from? :D

[talissin]

Totally random and disgusting.

Not surprised there's not american trad. restaurants around.

[solwolfpunk]

eeew. Funny

[twostepper39]

My son and I saw this video on HBO many years ago and were rolling on the floor laughing. This has to be one of the funniest video's ever!!!!!!

[jailarson]

Thanks for posting this.  I remember watching this movie back in highschool and laughing so hard that I was sore the next day.

[pazuk]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Great memories, particularly from this clip.

[BrokenMotherTongue]

the groove tube, kentucky fried movie, and tunnel vision were all faves of mine growing up! i love it! seeing this clip again made me download the groove tube and i almost forgot about the skit about "the dealers" LOL

[Flutterbye811]

I am so happy that everyone is enjoying this clip....I saw this movie for the first time over 10 years ago and it became an instant classic amongst a group of old high school friends :) This clip is, without doubt, my all time favorite. I start laughing from the opening scene.

Please continue to enjoy this tasty little clip!

[DevSodDribble]

@Flutterbye811 I saw this when I was in high school (Late 80s/Early 90s), and had a DVD copy that I lent out and never got back. The same person lent me 'The Onion' movie, so I suppose that could be considered 'fair trade.' ;)

[HighlandFilm]

brilliant, i cant stop laughing! I havent seen that in 20 years! thankyou!

[Mycarrox]

Insert the olive pits into the pitted cherries :D HAHAHAHAHA

[jrbcd]

The best slapstick movie in color ever. PERIOD.

[DamnChrisCrocker]

man i'd love to see the end bit of the groove tube with the "just you just me" part

[bvllets]

I am guessing this is high in Trans Fats.

[skyler0248]

YOUR THE FUCKING MAN =D

[jadarm]

Man I love this, funniest thing ever.

[plasmahermitage]

Lube me up, baby!!!!

[HighlandFilm]

lol fantastic! i near pissed myself watching this for the first time in 20 years!! thanks for posting it mate!

[fishpaw64]

this is so funny Ive seen it a hundred time and I still laugh so hard I cry.

[gooblymoo]

I too loved this scene in the movie. I remember laughing hysterically at the scene the first time I saw it in the theater. For those younger viewers, the Kraft ads in the late 60s walked you through recipes with the same approach, so the Groove Tube scene is as much a parody of those ads. Most typically Kraft was trying to sell its Miracle Whip salad dressing and creating recipes using it. Hence the Kramp Easy Lube. I'm in tears every time I watch this. Just brilliant indeed!

[bertskoi]

My oldest brother is 10 yrs older than me.He always used to take myself and my other brother to high brow art films such @ Citizen Kane, etc. @ the local univrsts in my small E. Pa. hometown.One day,in the summer of '74, don't ask me how but he got us in to see The Groove Tube, I being all of 10 yrs. old. The film was great but it was THIS Kraft parody alone that stood out @ the 1 I laughed @ the most.The audience as well as ourselves were in hysterics,it was so funny @ the time,& still is

[leo1321]

Looks like me trying to cook. If it wasn't for the restaurant industry I'd starve.

[mrfleef]

I will NEVER forget seeing the Groove Tube in the theater when it first came out. My ribs hurt from laughing so hard. The whole audience was crying with laughter.

The "Good things come from Uranis" commercials were pure genius.

[jkonig]

truly one of the funniest skits i have ever seen in all my 37 years. it makes me cry with laughter every single time i see it.

[danolson68]

One of the funniest skits ever!

[blastbud]

RORER 714

[mrslinarcos]

I have never seen this one before..I can't believe how funny this is. LOL LOL LOL I agree with you Arielstorm, Julia Child with a sense of humor :-) Mrs. L.

[arielstorm]

Still cracks me up every time I see this! Julia Child with a sence of humor! Best bit in the whole movie!

[rwells2265]

I always wondered if the loaf was made of "Brown 25"? ;-)

I've seen this hundreds of times and I still have laughing fits every time I see that loaf drop out of the pan and shatter the plate.

"Insert the olive pits into the pitted cherries." Rachael Ray ought to try this some time.

[mgolobay]

OMG. For the last 30 years, every time I see this I nearly personally wet myself from laughing.

[vonbontee]

Hilarious! Amazing how you can practically see the hands escalating frustration as the directions grow more and more pointless.

(Man, I LOVE "The Groove Tube"! So much unforgettable stuff. Richard Belzer as a black hooker! "4 Leaf Clover"! The sinking TV news anchorman! Ken Shapiro dancing in downtown Manhattan! etc.

[AeroEbook]

Yup, I loved this one too!!! I wizzed myself as a kid when I first saw this. Hey, how do you download these files locally to disk? Is there any way? My CPU is not fast enough to play them online right.

[VIDEODROME13]

Damn I haven't seen this in years. This is probably my favorite clip from the whole movie.

[jjrakman]

I remember I saw this right after I left the restaurant industry. Had I seen it earlier, I probably would have dubbed it over the middle of one of the cook's training videos. funny stuff.

[langmick]

Love this, so damn funny. Might have seen this first on HBO a long time ago.

MMm, good loaf.

[vegasguy21]

OMG this is hysterical
