  • Making a big thing out of it would've been a good idea

  • NO WERE NOT GONNA DO FUCKING STONEHENGE

  • "I do not think that the problem was that the band was down, I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf". Somehow that line always instantly cracks me up. Superb delivery.

  • The management getting taken over by the girlfriend was based on when Supertramp's manager Dave Margereson quit when Rick Davies' wife took over as management in 1983 mid-way through that tour (Roger Hodgson left the band in September and he (like Nigel not getting along with David's girlfriend) had issues with Rick's wife (as did Roger's ex-wife).

  • but your not confused as him are you? its not your job to be as confused as nigel

  • Spinal Tap is real. These guys were way ahead of their comedy time.Brilliant

  • @semajpsea no, Spinal Tap were fake, but were so good at being fake people think they are real, unlike the jonas brothers, who are real but are so bad everyone thinks theyre fake

  • And power metal was born.

  • "Can I ask a practical question?Are we gonna do Stonehenge tomorrow?"That line was so hilariously perfect to end that scene with!

  • Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea.

  • There are so many lines in this film that cause me to bust a gut laughing. "I prize the rent out of the local Hebrews." is one of the best.

    Happy Nigel Tufnel Day! 11-11-11

  • I'm laughing my ass off right now because I'm in a band and this girlfriend shit is real! it happens to us all the time! LOL

  • @BigPapaSexy05 haha yeath im a musician as well and i noticed that with bands I played in. it does happen

  • STONEHENGE BY YLVIS is sooo much better!

    The norwgian duo is amazing!

    #Check it out!

  • 16 people are in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

  • the manager kind of reminds me of moe greene from the godfather, voice and way he talks

  • join the facebook page to make 11/11/11 Nigel Tuffnell Day! :D

  • 1.53 is the best part blaaaggggghhhhh!!!!!!!

  • can I raise a practical question at this point?

    Are we gonna do stonehenge tomorrow??

  • @stromtrooper650 Probably my favorite lin in the movie.

  • Comment removed

  • "Prizing the rent out of the local Hebrews" is: absolutely priceless; genius! Moreover, one could not possibly take it as: an Anti Semitic remark; simply because it is so brilliantly funny; as was the innocuous, delivery of the line. My mate got his under-graduate degree at St. John's College Cambridge; same time as Tony Hendra. He recognised the name and face, when he was watching this film with me. He recently saw him at the 50th anniversary of the alumni, at St. John's and made mention of it.

  • Like this if you found this in Supernatural!

  • @spellista2 What's the connection to Supernatural??

  • "No one knows who they were...or....what...they were doin'"

    "I do not for one think that the problem was that the band was down. I think the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed...by a dwarf!"

    This movie always makes me laugh. They're such a bunch of stupid jackasses!!

  • an Australian's nightmare?

  • "And oh how they danced. The li'l children of Stone 'enge"

    I actually know some people from Squatney (where Nigel Tufnel grew up) and they really do speak like that.

  • Can I raise a practical question at this point?

  • spinal tap ftw

  • So iconic. How metal bands wrote anthems all about things they didn't actually understand. Also why I never draw anything on a napkin. Ever.

  • "It's not your job to be as confused as Nigel, is it?"

  • "I think you're making a big thing out of it." " Making a big thing out of it would've been a good idea." PWNED!

  • I am not going to co-manage the band with some woman especially one that looks like an Australian's nightmare. lol XD

  • 4:10 little fantasy adolenscent world. LOOK AT THAT TV LOL

  • Stone enge dwarfs

  • Just hilarious!

  • Every time I see this I can't help but crack up.

  • Comment removed

  • 'Comedy genius' sometimes gets used too freely, but not in this case.

  • Barbarian Queen Riding on Polar Bear !!!

  • @StreetoffXAF so much love for Andy...and i agree with Dean, his van was pretty sweet XD

  • @rayjay2789 I would love to have something like that hheheh :P

  • =O

  • 2:28 may be the most hilarious of anything I have ever seen

  • "No one knows... who they were. Or... what they were doing."

    LMAO Gets me every time.

  • where the dew drops cry and the cats meow. The greatest line in any song.

  • can anyone tell me what the age limit for this movie ????

  • @RettButt : if you have to ask, you're not old enough...

  • @RettButt really?...... REALLY !!!!?

  • 14 people don't do it well

  • "Especially one who is dressed like an Australian's nightmare!" Hahahahahahahahahahahahah. I love Spinal Tap!

  • THE VIKING HELMETS!

  • Best movie scene ever...EVER

  • "...so they wont trod upon it"

  • This videos volume doesn't go up to 11....

  • "i prize the rent out of the local hebrews" - thats liquid comedy!

  • It's the scene that never stops giving!

  • but you're not as confused as him ahhh you?

  • This was based on a real incident in reverse, by the way. Ozzy Osbourne (or Black Sabbath, I forget) ordered a Stonehenge prop that was to be something like 18 feet, but got a monument that was 18 meters.

  • @pronkb000 That happened after this scene was shot.

  • @pronkb000 Sabbath did Stonehenge in '84 for the Born Again tour. TISP came out in '82.  Life imitating (and inversely as ludicrous) art. But yes, whereas Spinal Tap was an error in units (18" vice 18'), whereas Black Sabbath drafted their sketch in feet, but was made by someone assuming it was metric (18m vice 18').

    This has been my pop culture reference of the week after an engineer had one of our machinists make an 18' long piston shaft from 18" of bar stock.

  • @pronkb000 It was Black Sabbath on their 1983 Born Again tour when Ian Gillan was singing for them.

  • Lmao.

  • maybe you've taken on more than you can uhhh... uhhh... uhhh... handle LMAO!

  • In Soviet Russia, Stone'enge does YOU!

  • @zionravescene we don't fucking care.

  • I lost my Mandolin Strings in the middle of Austin too

  • it was in danger of being CRUSHED by a dwoooorf!

  • "And the cats meow" - LMAO!

  • "So they don't tread upon it" LMFAO XD

  • "no one knows... who they were... or... what they were doing" all i can say is LOL!

  • ...and they do live well... xD

  • xD

  • When i first saw this i could not stop laughing

  • now 14 people are as confused as Nigel.

  • 11-11-11, Nigel Tuffnel day!

  • Chris Guest does a uwsome cockneyish accent

  • I just saw this movie. I usually don't say this, but the best possible way to describe it is "epic."

  • @thewriter1008 : omg I saw this the WEEK it came out, I was in college. I took a date, and she could not understand why I was peeing my pants just about every scene. Then I was in a band ten years ago, and we watched it together head to tail and I cried laughing all over again.

  • "Australian's nightmare!" I laugh out loud each time I hear that!

  • 2:18 the look on his face is priceless

  • where the dew drops cry and the cats meow!

  • This was derived from a black sabbath experience..

  • @SLiM1886 And what was that?

  • LMAO making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea

  • I love how it switches drummers mid song

  • And the cats meow.

  • 1:53

  • Viv Savage lives!

  • "I prize the rent out of the local Hebrews"

  • , and the cats meow.

  • "Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea." THAT'S my favorite line in the film.  The broken T.V. in the background was really a nice touch.

  • NO WERE NOT GONNA FAWCKIN DO STONE ENGE

  • @00IRON001 Best line of the whole scene!

  • Especially one that dresses like an Australian's nightmare! LOL

  • SMELL THE GLOVE !

  • Of all the musical numbers from this movie,this one had to be the best.Too bad there was a Stonehenge monument on stage that was in danger of being crushed...by a DWARF!That tends to understate the hugeness of the object.

  • I locate mandolin strings in the middle of Austin!! AHAHAAHAAHAHAAH

  • 13 people are australian nightmares

  • @anetchi I know I saw the movie back in the 90's

  • Comment removed

  • 11 people are as confused as Nigel.

  • @TheVampClan haha good call !! :D

  • Viv Savage!

  • "It's not your job to be as confused as Nigel."

    I use variations of this line in my everyday speech whenever possible. (That and "There's a fine line between clever and stupid.")

  • 10 people are in danger of being crushed by dwarfs. 

  • @blondeladygaga but think of all the tiny druids about to be crushed by the giant pixies.

  • @blondeladygaga 15 people can't haven't gone up to 11.

  • AND THE CATS MEOW!! 1:41

  • I meant parody by the way, sorry. It's just that I read a good point on the Fortean Times website that every human being is deluded in the fact that they think they have a good sense of humour. God, so many times I've been suckered by that GSOH line on the website, let alone the far from recent photo. Correctionists think they're smart and witty. Show me a car park they have to cross from PC World at night.

  • Irrespective of the halcyon days of the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy, the classics, of which I love and think are genious-only challenged by the Holy Grail, this is the funniest film in movie history.The run up and song at the military installation matches this scene. American;, if a Brit challenges you about ya'll not getting the irony of our humour and not being able to do accents, produce a DVD of this as contrary evidence. Peerless, except perhaps Cleese et al.

  • face @ 2:18 is priceless, hahahahaha

  • if you listen to the lyrics of the song its fucking hilarious

  • lol

  • It's a good thing this is the only thing Lady GaGa hasn't done: making up a song about Stonehenge and having a bunch of wee people dance around a stonehenge smaller than her head!

  • I think that the problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed, by a dwarf. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object. LOL god I love this movie

  • I totally smaaks this

  • So it became a comedy number.

  • If you are or ever were in a band, this movie really isn't that funny. Too close for comfort to the truth.

  • Having been in several bands over the years, I think it's hilarious! I would think someone would almost have to be a band member to really appreciate it!

  • @libertymesagirl Yeah, I peed my pants first time I saw this, But that was before the band days, when I found out how close some of this is to the truth.

  • Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow...

  • This is really not that funny.

  • i liked the song lol

  • what makes this movie so hilarious is that it's based on fact..... especially rock bands letting their groupie tart girlfriends run the band aground lmao

  • And the cats MEOW!

  • so are we doing stonehenge tomorrow?

  • @xgmb45 no, we're not gonna fucking do stonehenge!

  • Comment removed

  • "I think you're just making a big thing out of it."

    "...making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea."

  • 1:51 -that must be the very most random thing ever! :DDD

  • "...especially one that dresses like an Australian's nightmare."

    Hilarious!

    That girlfriend is absolutely horrible.

  • This is funny is hell, but the music is truly enjoyable !!!

  • "What we had was a model of Stone'enge that was in danger of being crushed by a DWARF!!!" <<<<one of my all time favorite movie one liners

  • hahahahah awesome

  • jaja problemas con la escala? jajajjaaj

  • 10 people thought it was 18 inches too.

  • Many things in life are in danger of being crushed by a dwarf. Roaches, matchsticks, possibly plastic cups.....stonehenge should not be in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

  • when i saw this with my friends, all of our faces hurt from laughing

  • Where dew drops cry

    and the cats, "meow."

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • what happened to the sound? weak.

  • whats amazing it that chris,harry,and micheal are all actually playing their own instruments and doing their own vocals

  • my poodle is called nigel i named him before i knew about this movie..i <3 nigel.

  • NIGEL RULES!

  • "Can I raise a practical question at this point . . . are you going to do Stonehenge tomorrow?" Genius way to end the scene.

  • " Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea " LMAO

  • 6:09 to the end is the best part

  • If you check out Rush's Tom Sawyer, "Live in Holland" video here. (the one with Southpark)...at 1:43 you can see the lead singer has a little Stonehedge monument on his keyboard... if you have time....and are bored, ;0)

  • 'The problem may have been that there was a stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed- by a dwarf!' One of the funniest things I've ever heard.

    'Maybe we should get some choreography to keep the dwarves clear.'

    'What do you mean?'

    'So they won't trod upon it.'

    'I don't think that's the issue.'

    Again, some of the funniest lines I've ever heard =P

  • I agree with UncleFeedle up there: I vividly remember seeing that scene in the theater in San Antonio, which--believe me--the bulk of the viewers of which had no idea it was a PARODY. And I died. Died. Slid out of my theater chair and onto the sticky floor. Nearly expired. Genius. GENIUS.

  • Is there anything that fucks up a band more than girlfriends?

  • @chorkybrenner lol I would have to agree with you that it is the case sometimes, but that goes for boyfriends too. Just cause you happen to be dating someone in the band does not, I repeat DOES NOT mean you are in the band so common sense should dictate that you shouldn't be sitting in on band meetings and interjecting your unsolicited opinions on the 'band business' which is a business and should be treated like any other business. If you're not in the band -It's NOT your business. 

  • @JulinaAbecilla It's not just that. It's about distractions too which is more about the band member than anything. I played in a band with a guy who would simply disappear when he'd get a new girlfriend. It's about commitments as much as anything. Some people can't draw boundaries and part of the problem is that being in a band is an intimate relationship that overlaps with time that people typically spend with their significant others.
