wc fields the bank dick

[deussolinvictus]

W. C. Fields looks like Everett True in this.

[windstorm1000]

Fields--master of anarchy--that's why he'll never go stale!!

[emjee]

"Ever do any boon-doggling Joe?"

[deussolinvictus]

Is the bartender Shemp Howard?

[deussolinvictus]

@deussolinvictus Never mind. Looked it up and it is Shemp!

[TheElegantHunter]

"Your father seems awfully nice" "No.. he's a cunt"

[greggy47]

In a biography of Fields I read he had a short affair with Una Merkel, the woman who played his daughter in this movie. Always after the young ones.

[beowulven]

And we get "Little Fockers"...

[geizzer]

Take yer hat off in the presence of a gentleman

[ferocel]

Sounds like a bubble in a bathtub.

[comous]

you're yelling right down my alley lol

[jp3mcpherson]

Did you warble my little wren?

[benthemiester]

After much deliberation and deciding to watch this theatrical performance, I have only to find that I have been bamboozled by a couple of angry eskimos while being hood winked by Armenian rug peddlers.

[mikal9000]

5:28 = GREATEST LINE OF ALL TIME!

[1200x2]

the next time i take my car in for an oil change, i'm going to ask them to check the wheelbase.

[jvolstad]

Smoking and drinking, What's wrong with those?  :-)

[JeffTibb]

SHEMP!!!

[historymadman]

I am a big fan of wc fields

[MrCrowart]

Isnt that Shep as the barman the one that took over from Curly When he got sick?

[sirtinycreep]

Born in 1880.

[RobertHolik]

Even back then people were dicks.

[whitewing62]

Shemp Howard Is the bartender

[davehorne]

@whitewing62 I thought that as well. I grew up watching The Three Stooges.

[MrVirtualparticle]

"Heheheh. Og Ogilby -- sounds like a bubble in the bathtub." Too funny!

[davehorne]

@MrVirtualparticle I thought that as well.

[420fungi]

it's weird to see something without a laugh track now. i think it's better though.

[Flinklehurst]

@420fungi Movies have laugh tracks now?

[windstorm1000]

The first 'anti-family'---Fields, as usual, way ahead of the comedy/social commentary curve--his cynical humor leads straight into Rosanne Barr, etc, etc--

[amongsttrees]

best chaser ever!

[Xxsharkman423Xx]

lol...child abuse

[164lou5]

his the man

[DeserTBoB93535]

Shemp Howard later of the Three Stooges as the bartender.

[soppp12]

HAHAHAHAH THAT WAS FUNNY AS HELL, child throws a bottle at him and he takes a fucking plant holder LOL

[mrnoiz23]

I'll bring the glasses back later...

[squrilleyboy]

Shemp Howard for the win!

[aardvaark069]

at 5:00 the cut goes from one glass of absinthe to four. But how?

[oldrustycars]

"it may be the wheelbase". "Those are tools"

[7starla7]

w.c.fields is the best there ever was!

[bubblegumtasty20]

that lil girl effed him up lol

[casusbelli15]

Where else would the Bank Dick drink but the Black Pussy Cat?

[jeffreynolds50]

yes that is shemp ♥♥

[thehaloofthesun]

2:49 that guy looks like Shemp Howard

[goatpappy49]

Isn't the bartender Shemp Howard?

[jshrubz]

@goatpappy49 Yep, sure is. All the old vaudevillian entertainers turn actors palled around together. Fields and the Howard brothers were real close

[skankinhappy]

just got the box set of his films

[ceska31]

One word: Genius!

[BiGWHiTe941]

oh yes ! best to ever do it .......am i right my little chickadeee ???

[Flyboys243]

"Black Pussy" does not refer to a black woman's southern hemishpere, but rather a black cat (pussy was what they called cats back in the 40's-50's

[jeffreynolds50]

@Flyboys243 there is lots of sayings that came about long before people had dirty minds x

[LOUKELL]

@jeffreynolds50

thats why my hero max miller loosened the old staid men/women genre,they are dirty minded as men,lets all live life to the full

[LOUKELL]

@Flyboys243

is that why a beaver blocks its dam every 28 days,wink

[acheforyou]

~ He's pure classic Hollywood...Forever funny comedian ~

[Lewis1key]

What was great about Field's is that he was a true comic character.

You can certainly see where Walter Matthau got his comedic influence.

[windstorm1000]

@Lewis1key I didn't think about that--but you're absolutely right!!!

[xhawaiianlovex]

lol thanks for sharing :)

[ttll81]

Shemp is in this movie!

[theslurm]

Ha ha ha ha, i'm tears now.

[JadeTomZ]

LOL

[Tuddyboy11]

"I tell you he's drunk QQ"

[Bigstooler0]

"....carrying the proper amount of air in the tires?"

[cosmicforums]

Thats is Shemp, as the bartender, from the three stooges.

[Garthug]

[jeffreynolds50]

@Garthug yes your right this is shemp

[cosmicforums]

@Garthug Yes, it is shemp.

[hugatag]

[williammelvin]

[HOUSEOFFOURDOORS]

boondoggling

[jackass122676]

@HOUSEOFFOURDOORS Have you ever gone boondoggling? What the fuck is Boondoggling?

[1701CaptainKirk]

@jackass122676 Boondoggling: Work or activity that is wasteful or pointless but gives the appearance of having value. (Holy crap, that's what I've been doing all these years....) ie Master Boondoggler.....

[hugatag]

We all know that was real booze in that bottle!

[bzzzzap]

Great Comedy.

[bzzzzap]

Genius.

[chazblitz]

beating kids, drinking,smoking,shemp,the car chase, i like girl children...,but the black pussy cafe......too funny...this whole movie makes me laugh just thinking about it..this was risque stuff back then...love it!

[jvolstad]

I like children...when they are properly cooked.

[walmartian]

dam ther drinkng the real absinth

[sherbear2345]

this is Conan's favorite comic ala James Lipton from Inside the Actors Studio

[hugatag]

Shemp & WC were drinking buddies in real life. Cool to see Shemp play a straight man part, he made some really funny expressions at those 3 guys like they were all crazy.lol

[tirayi]

Thats not Stan is it?!!

[hell0hkitty]

wcfields could be mean to kids, i like that lmaooooooooooo

[Robogabriel]

Nobody knows how to beat children anymore, it's a lost art, lol :/

[Jessecraft1954]

I love W.C. Fields. He`s one of my favorite comedians. I loved the way he talked. What a hoot! Watching him play the dentist is one of my favorites!

[Plasmobe]

this movie is the best

[Killeybegs]

Somebody told my Father, I drank 2 quarts of Gin a day, Father replied _Damn Sissy_ Oh Yeah".

[Killeybegs]

My wife drove me to drink, I honestly never thanked her for it. Oh Yeah My Little Quamquat"

[Ornansthreshingfloor]

No, the bartender is Shemp of the three Stooges.

[gamagan1]

i knew he looked familiar icould nt figure it out. i would have went to bed mad as hell trying to remember who he is. dam shemp from the stooges. priceless

Thanks for the info. i love wcf i use to watch him every late night. lol waking everybody up in the house oh man.

gamagan1

[kathleenandzoe]

I can't believe nobody commented on the bartender...

[suedebear]

the bartender? Well hes Moe of the Three Stooges of course.

[tejastiger61]

@suedebear Nice try but your mistake is close....... it's Shemp .. Moe's brother in real life..

[loungelizard5000]

Maybe suedebear had a few drinks of his own to think that was Moe and not Shemp !!!

[yaknbo]

When you see him, you cannot forgive the world for the other people they have allowed to be called or to call themselves comedians. Maybe I effed that up grammatically, but so what.

[billyfc3]

They really don't make em like they used to! It;s sad to say that young people don''t search for comedians like WC or Laurel & hardy or Abbot & Costello jst to name a few! They were truly some of the best of all times! If you are young, click on this and trly see some great comedy! Billy C

[bergerfry]

The greatest comedy line ever is at 5:30. Or as I like to say, the most intelligent comedy line ever.

[Jokester132]

im actually related to W.C. fields

just figured out recently

[gamagan1]

yeah right

gamagan1

[PinstripeShirt]

Love it when he swallows his cigarette. Must have had some practice. :P

[klookmopify]

You Ever Done Boonedogglining

[Tuddyboy11]

Love the way Fields sticks his fingers in the water chaser; he would never drink the stuff!

[thousandoaks108]

Yes, he's using it as a finger bowl for his liquid lunch. Then he orders a new glass, "he never bathes in the same water twice." Classic stuff.

[djprankstah]

i cant believe that shemp is in this 2:51

[hugatag]

In my opinion we well see another round of boondoggle and boondoggling starting in 2010

[LOUKELL]

spot on genius

[Featureman]

He is so great.

[bandibreath]

"Don't you dare strike that child, put it down...put it down!!!" Funny.

[powerhse74]

I love the woman's reaction at 0:43 screaming. LOLOLOL

[badbob1946]

In my opinion the greatest American comedian.

[goatpappy49]

@badbob1946

Isn't that bartender Shemp Howard?

[femalefootkisser]

@badbob1946 I agree. I used to watch him as a kid. I would lmao so hard!!

[Tuddyboy11]

I suggest a dash of Rover in it! The greatest and funniest drunk of all times!

[chris319]

Rover -- it's great for those inside meemies.

[hugatag]

Do u have the proper air in the tires?

[HOUSEOFFOURDOORS]

Black Pussy Cafe'..

[jvolstad]

@HOUSEOFFOURDOORS I like pussy......cats. :-)

[paulyvi]

i cant even say which part is more funny im laffin so hard.......kid throwin a bottle at dad.......WC da kar mechaic.......oh MAN!!!

[mike360k]

0:25 was funny

[paulyvi]

yA! laffin so hard at 0.25.....ur cool bro...))

[hugatag]

I have never seen such a natural as WC Fields.

[pepino09]

The bartender is Shemp, from the 3 stooges.

[hugatag]

at least he put IOU in child's piggy bank

[curlytoes79]

Goddamn that woman at 0:47 - I would have loved to have seen him clock that brat with a potted plant!

[samdon815]

Give me a shifting spanner.

[dLimboStick]

"Ogg Oggleby. Sounds like a bubble in the bath tub". LMAO!!!

[KellyGreen5555]

Agreed...great moment!

[hugatag]

I have a 1/2 interest cod liver oil mine down in cape cod...lmao!!!!!!!

[misterjaz]

William Claud Fields, the GREATEST comic film star of all time.

[jamiva4]

Sometimes it's better to keep ignorant thoughts to yourself. WC was a genius. I guess you prefer this modern profanity laced, unimaginative, un-original trash they call comedy these days. If you do that's your prerogative just like it's my prerogative to enjoy this master of his craft. I don't think you could recognize real comedy; it takes intelligence!!!!

[craigbomb100]

This wasnt funny everyone who thought this was funny should die

[pathdaly]

Brilliant all round! But my favourite line was always " Was I in here last night and did I spend a 20 dollar bill?"

Sounds like me and my mates in the good old days.

[cosneg]

WC Fields was a comic genious, number one in the art of comedy. He also was a master juggler, a man of many talents, to which there are no more.

[7rays]

Notice the bartender? Shep Howard from the Three Stooges...

[jackiemickie]

lol the house just smells of liquor and smoke

[boxingglovelove]

Boondoggling .. A stinko script ... it's a one-reeler and a bupkie ... nothing like it! Great stuff!

[alnot01]

Script, script, what does that mean? Who needs that? Hiring the people to care and feed a script costs too damn much, that's for sure. W C ad libbed a lot of this movie.

WC was almost unique in refusing to put children on a holy pedestal. His movies reveal to be a shewd student of human nature. Notice how the adult women prigs are socializing the girl to grow up to become like them.

[boxingglovelove]

Trying to understand, alnot01, why your comments needs to be directed to me. I was merely quoting some of what's in this video clip - and commenting favorably on it.. Macky Green is the one who says "stinko script."

[azulo65]

Magnificent

[danoinreno]

this film is freaking great !!

LOL !!!

long live WC !!!!

[centervilletn]

i love that old chrysler! no telling what itd be worth!

[motonegros]

Joe the bartender is Shemp the stooge, great clip!

[mrk5164]

funny
