"He's Large" Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl in Popeye

[FoxTheZombieSlayer]

She played a perfect Olive! They couldn't have picked a better person haha!

[scampbell1955]

I remember laughing so hard that I cried and had belly cramps.

[ericisback13]

shelley duvall and robin williams are amazing i love them both

[SidJustice1]

Could they have picked a better actress to play "Olive"? I don't think so! Duvall owned this!

[videozfann]

@SidJustice1 yeah, her and Ray Walston for Pappy

[hebneh]

I never saw this movie, but I had a coworker in the early 1980s who used to sort of sing this song - and now I've finally seen and heard the original, for the first time, 30 years later. I can see why this movie was a failure.

[taylormama18]

I don't think she can sing very well:/

[faridjabba]

lov ur legs wendy!

[Sirchud68]

Boioioioiong!

[nastymic164]

lol. giggity

[redpaul79]

fuck this... anyone finds this crapola amusing has tinned shit for brains

[markhodgson600]

@redpaul79 oh come on chill out *_+

[redpaul79]

@markhodgson600 fuck

off

[markhodgson600]

@redpaul79 haha great use of the english language, oh come you can do better than that im sure

[markhodgson600]

@redpaul79 haha 

[redpaul79]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz--stinko

[DavidakaChronic]

wow....she said large so much in this song I began to wonder what exactly she was speaking about....

Olive - "He may not be the best but he's large"...

Me - O_O *facepalm*...like every girl in this world when they hook up with a putz

[johnhamilton08]

Insert "That's what she said" joke here.

[ctronjock]

Shelley Duvall has the most beautiful LARGE expressive eyes. I wonder what she is doing now? I know for a while she was writing childern's TV... anyone?  Shelley?

[redpaul79]

@ctronjock shut the fuck up, you idiot

[redpaul79]

okay, he's fucking LARGE, we get it--what a pathetic gang of hacks--its not even funny the first time... sad ass lame bullshit

[CaptianApe]

@redpaul79 thats because the only description of you is large troll

[redpaul79]

@CaptianApe wow, real original. go lick shitty duvile's rancid fishy smelling cunt, freak

[CaptianApe]

@redpaul79 you would know that wouldn't you

[kiiiiikkkkiiiii]

Being her for Halloween, oh yeah.

And not the ridiculous 'sassy' version with half of her skirt missing, REAL Olive Oyl.

[Dogedart67]

thats what she said!!!

[JVcrow44]

Guess she likes them LARGE?

[jccw227]

I just loved how Olive ran out of adjectives to describe Bluto so quickly.

[framar601]

She is the ugliest and badest actor of all time and she ever got an award for badest actress

[thatsmctarded]

@framar601 what a profound statement! bravo sir...and who taught you english?

was it jesus? honestly.

[redpaul79]

@thatsmctarded ah, i see--you're an obnoxious dickface to everyone--not just me--and nothing you write ever makes sense--you're a schizophrenic fetal alcoholic dipshit who needs ritalin cuz yr mama's milk had meth in it

[thatsmctarded]

@redpaul79 right.. well if i'm a schizophrenic, then so am i!  >:o

[redpaul79]

ugh--that movie was such a pile...

[thatsmctarded]

@redpaul79 fuck you.

[flazz684]

@thatsmctarded she ought not talk attaway....reckon she can make me some a dem large can-o-biscuits?

[redpaul79]

@thatsmctarded eat shit, loser--you like this piece of lame shit? what a douchebag.

[Angelwise11]

This is where Olive Oyl runs off because she is NOT going to marry Bluto...EVER! Go Olive!

[Morgteck]

Everything about that Bluto is large...except his heart. Popeye, on the other hand, may be a small and funny-looking man, but he has a heart as big as the sea and sky...and that's what counts. Olive made the right choice in the end.

[juresaiyan]

i didn't know he was large...

[stupidintellect90]

I used to be called Olive oyl when I was younger, mainly because I was quite thin then and have dark hair. Now I have a popeye t-shirt that I love....maybe I should be olive?

[doobiesmoke15]

Thumbs up if you think they should have had Eugene The Jeep in this movie!

[Morgteck]

Part of the humour is that she's having a really hard time finding much of anything else positive to say about him, other than that he's "

large"....

[Tracassin465]

Shelley Duvall is beatiful at Olive

[arhainofulthuan]

She's singing about the size of Bluto's popeyed trouser snake?

[mjknlr]

I admit that Shelley Duvall made a great Olive.

I still want to ax her down to make her shut the hell up.

[getsmooshed]

Large sounds funny after hearing it so many times

[bremen93]

@getsmooshed largelargelargelargelargelarge yep you're right

[mjknlr]

Shelley Duvall, for some reason, makes me want to decapitate myself. I can't stand the woman.

[gangreengangsta]

Well I guess it's the size if the boat, not the motion of the ocean.

[www6droppin]

This song is about me.

[Retro80Lady30]

She looks exactly like Olive Oyl it is odd.

[CutandPrintFilms]

Shelley Duvall...YOU ROCK!

[redfivemansell]

shelley is THE SEX. i'd take her here and now

[residentevilfan912]

okay if i wanted to know the size of blutos penis i would be gay but im not so shut up olive

[eppes]

thats what she said

[WinchesterBrosOnline]

Well who's a pretty girl then?

[BaronVonPenguin]

@SapphireSphere She's loving the "larger" man!

[freedomland11]

@SapphireSphere....Yea, thats a puzzling question!! thanx for replying after 5 months of wonder

[olliehutchins01]

She is saying 'he's large' because she likes 'large' men hence why popeye eats spinach to make himself muscular and large

[residentevilfan912]

@olliehutchins01 Spinach is the temporary steriod that wont make a man who has a foot long go to a 3 incher

[FoxyMamaRox]

D: Aww heck, now I'm thinking dirty things. Thanks a lot guys. XD

[cbdesade]

Popeye may be the most underrated movie of all time. This scene is superb: the song itself is comic genius, and Shelley Duvall's performance is both touching and inspired. Beautiful film.

[TheNinja97]

@cbdesade I just say it for the first time this weekend (: i agree with you!

[GogorisChannel]

Ok, anyone notice how this is really different from the DVD version? I'm guessing this is the VHS version due to the 4:3 ratio.

There's a lot cut from the scene, but there seems to be a little bit added too.

[BaronVonPenguin]

This is filthy! Never knew Olive Oyl was a size queen...

[UzALyinDevil]

she's like, "and he's mine", and they're like, "You can HAVE him!"...LOOOL! makes me laugh everytime lol.

[JadeForMercury]

we get it, olive: size matters!

[SpeakMyMind500]

That song didn't sound right lmao

[DriveInFreak]

He's WHAT?!

[3ratones]

Shelley is the perfect Olive

[willsleepforZzZz]

i like it how Shelley Duvall is so beautiful and she is surrounded by these women that don't even compare to her and they're laughing at her

[saynototrolling]

nobody else in the past present or future on this earth could have played a better olive oyl. shelley duvall is amazing

[redpaul79]

@saynototrolling amazingly hideous

[thatsmctarded]

@redpaul79 did yew take a good look at yourself in the mirror, yew aggravating son of a bitch?

[redpaul79]

@thatsmctarded shve it, you sick fetishist--what is it, you into giant horse teethed freak bitches? and what's with this "retarded" crap every second--are you obsessed with your degenerate geneology? you're a "McDouchebag" fuckin Olive Oil fetishists--what next? jee-zus...

[thatsmctarded]

@redpaul79 that's retarded >->

[redpaul79]

@thatsmctarded retarded retarded retarded retarded retarded retarded retarded retarded retarded -- got it, you fucking obnoxious, jackass -- go kill yourself if that's the oly fucking word you know

[thatsmctarded]

[redpaul79]

@thatsmctarded okay, its clear i'm aasting my time trying to communicate with the lowest life form on the planet-- an anthropomorphic dungheap who lives only to irritate and annoy--you're an obnoxious worm, with zero wit. HANG YOURSELF, freak. your response? "McTarded!!!" duuurrrffff, uuuunnghghg!!! fucking degenerate piece of slime

[thatsmctarded]

@redpaul79 that's retarded

[thx291]

I like Robert Altman.

I like Shelley Duvall.

But this movie SUCKED ASS.

[freedomland11]

"He's Large" is she meaning his Penis Size?? Im soo ever confused!!!

[kenfig]

Reminds me a bit of Stacey Soloman

[certainstrength]

such a feminine female.

[mjcrackify]

which came first, the movie or the cartoon? anyone know pls answer

[tubette1]

@mjcrackify  you're kidding .

[mjcrackify]

@tubette1 thank you for that answer, never mind i just googled it and found the answer to my own question, you were a big help,.... do not answer me back

[authorng]

@mjcrackify cartoon

[brittanibrutalbby]

@mjcrackify The cartoon. I'm really, really hoping this was a joke.

[speedyguy8]

was she talking about his dick in the beginning of the song?

cuz i doubt it somehow

[RUMELSKIN]

Perfect person to play Olive Oyl

[alcibiade666]

She's weird and...Attractive. I actually like her

[darlingzooloo]

lmao If all you can say about a man you are going on a date with is "He's largggge." you may want to rethink your dating habits Olive. hee hee

[pingufan11]

whi is she talking about?!?

[todosbien]

@pingufan11 Bluto!

[seqouiaflame]

MOTHER!!!!!!

[djdeejay81]

What does she mean by LARGE??? :/ lol!

[Skulldini]

@djdeejay81 She means the guy is heavy-set and burly,.. just like you see in the movie. Thats all I think it realy means anyway. I dont see any reason to think it means anything els.

[djdeejay81]

@Skulldini I know, I was just being sarcastic :D I love this movie though.

[stripmallglass]

wow shelley, true talent! love her beauty.. it's very different, and her own. wish we could of seen move of her in this day & age specially in film

[kingfroglord]

I think shelley is really beautiful, I love her eyes... :D

[kingfroglord]

@Skulldini to be honest, I don't see a problem with her teeth at all... there is something about her I do actually like...

[DogChapmann]

I'd give Olive a piece of my Large

[semaz94]

I hate mjuzikls

[semaz94]

LOL LARGE AND ITS MINE

[KerChoo]

Yes, he is large..

[ChillinJam]

he's got a big dick i get it lol

[juliabohemian]

Shelly Duvall is so utterly adorable in this film, mostly due to her ability to act, using her entire body. Her facial expressions are priceless. Did someone say she was ugly? She's not conventionally beautiful. But she's FAR from ugly.

[Skulldini]

@juliabohemian Hey, I have seen this woman look very pretty,.. and have also seen her look quite horrible!! She can look either way, ya know ? The ugly comments seem mainly influenced by The Shining ( wich is her most famous movie role).

[juliabohemian]

@Skulldini I think the same could be said of just about anyone. I just get irritated when people flippantly employ the word ugly. Indicative of a closed mind, methinks.

[kangadillo]

This is a very weird and VERY bad song!

[idontsupportanything]

My friend says she looks asian......but then again she's full of crap haha

[Skulldini]

@idontsupportanything He probably thinks she looks assian because she's somewhat bucktoothed.

[idontsupportanything]

@Skulldini haha well actually she's a girl and pretty stupid so there's that too

[Skulldini]

@idontsupportanything Then again, I dont know of any asians with large round eyes like she has.

[idontsupportanything]

@Skulldini hmmm maybe its a new race.............that wasnt racist was it?

[Morgteck]

Olive Oyl as depicted in the original stories was very feisty and strongwilled, but also rather innocent...a traditional girl in a traditional small town. Yes, the song has a lot of sexual innuendo in it, but Olive herself would not be aware of the innuendo...what she is referring to when she says that Bluto is large is simply his immense physical size and strength. Others, however, can find humour in the fact that the lyric has a double meaning. This was a great movie.

[morikahjo]

@Morgteck O_O LOL! I didn't even catch that until you said that....even though the girl were giggling i thought they were makin fun of his size and the fact that she couldnt describe him in any other way.

[bombygriz]

I wonder how people could deal with the singing here lol!!

[LyleVSXyle]

Who knew Olive Oyl was so shallow! This song is so terrible. It's so annoying, crude, stupid, shrill and hard to listen to.

[RockBoulevardz]

@LyleVSXyle it's meant to be all of those things as an homage to the style of music often found in the original cartoons of Popeye

[LyleVSXyle]

@RockBoulevardz I guess you're right, I didn't see it that way. Although, you have to admit. This song is really annoying!

[captainkundalini1]

Nilsson...?.REALLY!!

[itsallinallston]

Those shoes are outstanding.

[kayllo15]

lol shelley duvall reminds me so much of my mimi (my grandma) when she was younger. i read that shelley was called olive oyl when she was younger and so was my mimi. i jus thot that was a cool thing to know since shelley already reminded me of my mimi

[junipree]

nilsson !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Muzzleflash219]

I heard that Shelly Duvall at first turned down the role for this film, because she was made fun of by people in at school who called her Olive Oyl.

[residentevilnerd]

im suprised pop eye didnt chop down her bathroom door and try to kill her :I

[Keivz]

I always get her confused with Shelly Long (they're the same age). Anyway, fantastic song from a phenomenal movie.

[ConnorGunn]

I bet he is

[shealways]

no way cos popeye came out after shining

[smish0]

I used to absolutely love this film. Never quite understood this song when I was seven years old XD Now its erm... pretty damn obvious!

[Ramboot1]

her teeth are large.

[Ramboot1]

her teeth are large.

[Ramboot1]

hahahahha she looks like a chipmunk's butt

[cfodk]

waddefukisthis

[kitboy69]

I LOVE this movie...I saw it in the movie theater the day it came out!!! I don't know if I'm a movie snob or not but 'Nashville' is my all time favorite movie...I wanna see more the comic strip. the screen writer says he was going more for the style of the strip but the studio pushed things in the direction of the cartoons. I DO feel that the movie has all of these elements that, like Altman's greatest work, peers underneath the surface of what makes us humans and specifically American's, tick

[estyle40]

Where`s the part, "And he`s mine!" "YOU CAN HAVE HIM!!!" Funniest part of the whole song, to this day!!!

[KazukiAkimoto1987]

she is really beautiful !

[faridjabba]

@KazukiAkimoto1987 , yes, my platonic love, she woudl hav done great twith implants , love her

[WhiteChocolut]

@KazukiAkimoto1987 bowl shet she ugly as sin

[Skulldini]

@WhiteChocolut Well, she certainly isn't the type which a rapper would comonly find too attractive.  I'm willing to wager that YOU dig them great big ole fat booty'd wimen!!

[kives1985]

@KazukiAkimoto1987

I don't think she's beautiful, but I do think she's distinguished.

[Skulldini]

@kives1985 Thats your opinion. Different guys have different tastes and standards where THAT matters concerned. Like I supose if one likes really skinny chicks with big peepers then she's a beauty,.. and if not then she isn't. Anyway, she's definately unique.

[kives1985]

@Skulldini

Sometimes I prefer to look at ugly people. Attractive people all kind of look the same whereas ugly people look ugly in fun interesting ways. She's got character in her face.

[spyroxxm]

@kives1985 I agree with that ( about people not all looking the same ). But this chick here isn't really what I'd call UGLY ( thats a very strong word ), just sort of goofy looking .. theres a difference to me.

[AcidJack1973]

If you ever want to piss off a pretentious film snob, just mention that you think Popeye is one of Robert Altman's best films. I think the snobs are a big part of the reason this movie has developed such a bad reputation.

True, it's a very strange film, but brilliant in many non-conventional ways. Also extremely faithful to the original comic strip. Plus it's got music by the incredible Harry Nilsson.

[jo1982ey]

This was on TV two nights ago and I couldn't stop laughing at this song-so awful but funny

[slyme1711]

forgot that Harry Nillson did the music, what a hoot!

[ConnorGunn]

Quite alot of inuendo in that song

[theBEST1455]

yep there is

[phunnybunny8]

haha he's LARGE

[MrTwiky]

@ConnorGunn Too much to even count.

[tmservo]

Lady GaGa twin.

[goback3spaces]

I saw POPEYE when it came out, back in 1980. Because of this movie I canceled my subscription to "American Film," because Robert Altman's reputation was in decline and the story they did on this film infamously deleted anything complimentary to the director.  And the movie itself? The musical numbers still hold up after all these years, and there's a kind of weird charm in the film that is unique. Also the two principals are perfectly cast.

[SnuffyWuffles]

This gives me a new appreciation for Harry Nilsson. I will be checking out his other work...very talented.

[mcrfan6184]

Mikey way finds the randomest videos...i swear

[ANproduction]

hahah random. lol. She's the one who is in The Shining uh? lol to see her sing! I haven't seen this before. haha

[newguy90]

@ANproduction

Comments are saying "Holy crap, it's the wife from the Shining". When the Shining first came out, people were going "Holy crap, it's Olive Oyl." Originally. most of the audience and critics couldn't take the movie seriously because it was Olive Oyl in a horror movie.

[AcidJack1973]

100% true. This despite the fact that Duvall did a very good job in The Shining.

[mtr20081]

random mikey say i i if mikey sent u

[donut207]

HOLY CRAP!

I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE!

I haven't seen this in years! xD

[Roomx237]

Holy shit, THAT'S Shelley Duvall?

I've only seen her in The Shining (whcih I've seen around 100 times by the way. xDDD)

AND SHE SINGS, GOOD GOD, SHE FUCKING SINGS.
