The President - The Groove Tube

[SuperScar03]

W saw this, he must've been waiting to do this...

[JewLoco]

Barack Obama practices TSA style search on India's prime minister.

[landraiderares]

Does anyone get a distinctive Rod Blagojevich vibe from Belzer's portrayal?

One thing's for sure, the hairstyle is uncannily similar.

[49bobbyk]

I'm the *******ing President. I wish that the real President would tell some leaders of the world that exact thing.

[Skulldini]

" I'm in the driver seat !! I run the show !! I'm the fuckin president !!

[fitz4609]

I know one day that Americans will see a POUSA sit there and say, I'm in the driver's seat! I run the show! I'm the FU#@KING President! Because any of them might as well say it out loud. Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama are on the same team. After the "election" they all get together in the overstuffed leather chairs and drink 30 year old Scotch served by 20 year olds and have a good laugh at our expense.

[TCall2004]

@fitz4609 - Don't tell me, let me guess. You must be a Ron Paul supporter!

[russphilly]

...yes, reminds me of Obama too......

[ToruKun1]

This is epic (I LOL'd at Belz doing karate and getting a piggy-back ride!). Belz would also go on to reprise his role as "the President" in the god-awful misogyny and boobs vehicle Species 2! XDD

00:02, look at that crappy drawing goddamn

[mickeyqbitsko]

Reminds me of Obama

[TorontoGavin]

This sketch is EVEN FUNNIER 30 years later as a spoof of George W Bush than it was in the 70's as an attack on Reagan!

[ukulelemike]

Actually I thought he was the perfect blend of Clinton and Obama, with the grabbing the ambassador's chest, as well as the declaration of being in the driver's seat, (Obama:"I won" comment to the Republicans)

[TorontoGavin]

Obama? Are you kidding? What's wrong with telling the Repiblicans he won? He did win. He's not walking around calling himself 'the decider', talking about cross-aisle support but running the most partisan administration in history, or standing behind a microphone speaking in barely intelligible English and displaying his colossal ignorance of the world around him and the people that live in it. The Clinton comment is funny because of the chest grabbing, but on Obama you're miles off.

[ukulelemike]

well, he speaks well because he doesn't do with without his teleprompter-someone doesn't need to be a great speaker to be a good leader-though I'm not exactly what you would call a Bush supporter.

As for the "I won" comment-it would have been fine, except that it was a direct reply to the repubs when talking with him about their concerns for tax cuts-it was a coment that he would do as he chose and wouldn't listen to them at all.

Obama is no better than Bush, maybe worse-we'll see.

[TorontoGavin]

A good speaker because he doesn't speak without his teleprompter? That's just demonstrably false.

The skit was *actually* about Reagan, and hits the head on GWB. Any similarity with the current pres is purely a creation of blind partisanship: "I know you are but what am I?". You don't have to like him to admit he's NOTHING like the character in the sketch, which is the subject here.

America: one more party than communism; and political discourse that would embarrass a schoolyard bully.

[mickeyqbitsko]

"Blind partisanship". LOL! Good one.

[mickeyqbitsko]

Reagan wasn't the President then, numbnuts. Ford was. Jesus.

[TorontoGavin]

No, you are the numbnuts. Reagan was governor of California at the time and bidding for the GOP nomination for President. The filmmaker Ken Shapiro HAS SAID that it was a send-up of Reagan. This is a parody - he doesn't have to wait for Reagan to win to poke fun of him and his party in a skit. But I guess you know more about his movie than he does. Fool.

Plus, you didn't even respond to the gist of the thread. "Jesus".

[mickeyqbitsko]

My bad. It was such a poor parody I didn't notice who was the intended target.

[TorontoGavin]

You didn't notice because you didn't read the thread before you jumped in with your reply. Your ignorant, off-topic reply. You knew all you needed as soon as someone said something bad about a Republican.

Blind partisanship: attack the film because the filmmaker attacked Reagan. The funniest thing is you think that insulting a film that insults Reagan will somehow insult me, but guess what: I don't pick my likes and dislikes based on what some radio commentator says!

[scifiradioguy]

In a way, he was poking fun at then-Governor Reagan, as he was a year out in running for the GOP nomination in '76. But, his bravado suggests more like Bush 43.

[hoopforaday]

Funny shit. This president always reminds me of the president in indenpendence day. Just thinks he owned the world since he was the prez

[Bertonator]

Geez, people ranting and raving over a clip from a movie and insulting each other? It's okay to comment on the content, but to make personal attacks? Lighten up, people!

BTW, this clip is from The Groove Tube, not Kentucky Fried Movie.  But I can see how the two can get mixed up, being similar movies. Both which are funny as hell. 8^)

[hoopforaday]

Go fuck you're self! lol, just kidding.

[only257]

hiliarous saw this on vhs which i rented from the east providence public library in rhode island!

[BS0F]

Hello I Would Just Like To Let Everyone Know

That My Husband Who You Know As BS0F Recently

Injured His Hands In A Farming Accident

So In Case You Were Wondering What Happened To

Him He Is Still Not Able To Type. He Wanted Me

To Let You Know That He Is Going To Be Fine

And Will Be Back Soon. Thank You To Everyone

For Your Concern.

[laserlen46]

your such a friggin liar, grow up asshole like anyone really believes your bullshit story

[pazuk]

Haha love this film. Essential to be very stoned whilst viewing.

[jschmid]

PGA now stands for Pregnant Grown Asshole.

[TheresaLlama]

hey wheres his sexy glasses????

[BigDaddy1968]

Wow! He got Clinton down...almost 30 years before the fact.

LOL~!~~

[PRTguru]

Ever since I saw that in the theater in the 1970s, The Belz has always been my President. Glad to see he has new supporters in the modern day. Although there is a resemblance to Clinton in arrogance, I think that the resemblance to Mr. "I'm the Decider" Bush is even stronger. The point is that Belz got right to the heart of the Presidency, and the obvious reality of the Oval Office has finally caught up with him.

[Metalchick36]

That was funny! Thanks for posting this! I've always wanted to see Richard Belzer's past comedy!

[inlovewithTVcopdrama]

the Belz is the Best

[katrina2706]

BS0F you need some psychiatric help, honestly you are taking these youtube comments way too seriously

[BS0F]

This bvllshit ends now

CONSIDER THIS THE LAST POST ON THIS TOPIC

GOT IT?

[BS0F]

DUde why dont you make like a fan and b low it out your azz shitcock

[ottomandrummer]

dude u havent seen ne thing untill uve senn the rest of the movie

[BS0F]

I would like to let everyone know that BS0F was hurt at work today, and he might not be able to post here for a while. One of his greatest joys was talking with other youtube fans, and he wanted me to let you know that he is going to miss you as much as you are going to miss him. He will be back as soon as he can. BS0F, Jesus loves you and he will help you heal in this difficult time. You will set an example for others that the ONLY way to come back from being down is to let CHRIST lead the way.

[TorontoGavin]

Maybe Christ was punishing him for being incredibly rude while also blatantly lying to people about what are easily verifiable facts. The clip is from The Groove Tube, as anyone who watched either movie or looked either of them up on the internet would know. Cursing and taking lord's name in vain, right here in this discussion group for everyone to see. So sad.

[thelonegunmenX]

heh heh i love richard belzer

[katrina2706]

hey BS0F way 2 spell kentucky wrong when your ranting about others being fools...try looking at yourself first

[BS0F]

Hey Karina try looking at your self first before you try to tell someone else what to do since YOU YOURSELF dont have a clue ok fool?

[BS0F]

And THEBELZ no you are NOT richard belzer all though he is know to used that nick name but it is not you and if you want to miss represent youself thats you're bisness but dont expect anyone to think you are truley THE richard belzer so FVCK YOU !!!

[Munchkin25]

It's just a nickname. A user name. A nickname or user name represent what we like or respect. There's nothing wrong with that name. It just shows the user is a fan of something, in this case, The Belz.

Who spit in your bean curd?

[BS0F]

This is NOT from The Groove Tube. This is from a movie called Kentuckie Fried Movie. Try to know what you are talking about before you make a fvcking fool out of your self ???

[gooblymoo]

This is absolutely from the Groove Tube. Great movie. The first of its kind back in the early 70s. Richard Belzer and Chevy Chase were unknowns at the time.

[BS0F]

Wrong

[BS0F]

that reply of WROGN was meant for gooblymo who doenst know his facts as this was from kentuckie fried movie ok jackass???

[gooblymoo]

I presume you're being a troll (and judging by some of your previous posts)... IMDB lists "president" among Belzer's multiple roles in Groove Tube. imdb does not list Belzer in the cast for Kentucky Fried Movie. KFM is an enjoyable movie as well, as is Tunnel Vision, although Groove Tube remains my favorite, having seen it while in college when it first came out.

[ChazDawg]

Get a life.

[BS0F]

I AM NOT THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO GET A LIFE YOU ARE. You know how my day is going today? I had steak and eggs and champagne for breakfast and took a dip in my INDOOR pool. Later today I will work on my golf game and let me tell you I am getting good enough to go pro. That's the difference between you and me. I will be in the PGA. If anyone talks about you in the PGA, it will stand for PRICK GOD ASSHOLE.

[ChazDawg]

I take that back. You don't need to get a life. You need to get psychiatric help. Quickly.

[FuhQTube]

Share the wealth, my delusional friend! :-)

[TheBelz]

Belz rulez! Wooooot!

[nemrac76]

I don't even own a DVD player and I probably couldn't find this on DVD in a store somewhere. I saw this movie on tv long ago and I liked the theatre scene. I taped Tunnel Vision on VHS and I watch that all the time.
