Withnail And I - Lighter Fluid

[puppiesNicecream]

ah haha

[sammyelwell1]

This is one of my favourite movie scenes !!

[DaMuttzNutz]

allegedly, the lighter fuel can was filled with vinegar, unknown to Richard E Grant. His reaction is genuine surprise. The greatest comedy ever made.

[charleypictures]

Tremendous upload, perfect choice. "You should never mix yer drinks!"

[NBISCOMBE]

You bloody fool you should never mix your drinks.. LMFAO

[MightyQuinn2021]

Roger from American Dad drinks lighter fluid. His reaction: 'hmm.. tastes like I might die"

[Bigviking556]

16 people should never mix there drinks!

[67psych2]

My Favourite film EVER!! i have watched it every month for years & NEVER get sick of it!! Of course i am a raging Alcoholic now! LOL!

[sneakycone]

Richard E. Grant doesn't drink alcohol, so the producers put vinegar into the lighter fluid bottle, unbeknownst to Richard. You can see him laugh just after his next line his next line " Have we got anymore " . In his autobiography he tells us it was like fire hitting his throat. Legend for keeping the scene going. At the end you can tell the coughs are real hehe. Good on ya Richard, great movie.

[empirestateinmind]

@sneakycone lighter fluid is butane? so why are you saying they put vinegar in the bottle instead as a substitute for alcohol when it isnt infact alcohol???? vinegar would be worse than alcohol anyway

[sneakycone]

@empirestateinmind like I said Richard wouldn't drink alcohol. So to get a good effect and surprise him the put vinegar in the bottle. Go read his autobiography and try and make a little more sense. I agree vinegar is worse than alcohol when your downing it. Ask the producers eh :P

[kalvin1226]

16 people mixed drinks

[richmartin02]

my old time fav xxxx

[mssinatra]

Haha! What a great actor. Came across this movie by accident, but I'm glad I did :D none of my friends seem to get it though...

[artyrowerpom]

my wife used to work at the sun, when it was a slug and lettuce, I worked at the castle and ball, what a great pub town was Marlborough.

[rosemary5474]

"...Bloody fool... you should NEVER mix your drinks!!!" :D

[farrog]

The only other person who would be any good as Withnail would be Benedict Cumberbatch, but he was born 20 years too late for the role - Richard E Grant is amazing!!

[artyrowerpom]

My VHS copy is transparent, it's been played that often, and my 20th anniversary DVD is getting thinner by the year! My wife and I, no pun intended, used to frequent a tearoom like the one in Penrith, only this one was in a market town called Marlborough in Wiltshire. And I grew up going to places where the egg sammies were just like the one the old bird scoffs into at the beginning. True comedy comes from truth, this is by far my favourite film. Sorry to go on peace out

[XXXPaulJXXX]

@artyrowerpom Yeah. My favourite film too. I used to often ride my motorbike from Bristol to Marlborough. Lovely place. But I didn't visit any tearooms there. I'd be found in The Green Dragon, The Sun or The Wellington Arms!

[tombuckland]

14 people mixed their drinks

[EmergencyBagels]

I just watched this film. I've been planning to for months. I love it love it love it and my life feels fulfilled.

[pailershadeochocolat]

@blueroomexit HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! nice try mate! XD ANYWAY! this just got boring. my point got proven, and your spelling hurts my soul. it's probably your bedtime now. nighty night!!

[pailershadeochocolat]

@blueroomexit not really, only to somebody who is oversensitive. in this day and age? :O

[pailershadeochocolat]

@blueroomexit LOL no need to get personal man. lighten up! drink some lighter fluid :D

[pailershadeochocolat]

@blueroomexit LOL no need to get personal man. lighten up! XD

[pailershadeochocolat]

@blueroomexit you cunt lol

[burty1968]

watched this hundreds of time...just cracks me up.its ...absolute classic..say no more

[closelynibbledgrass]

a movie that u can watch again and again and only gets better

[BarriosGroupie]

At 0:34 he's laughing, but I guess this was the best take they could use because no doubt he laughed in everyone.

[puccini007]

@BarriosGroupie he was pranked, he tough it was water but the crew put vinegar instead

[Hemulen40]

Buhahahaha .. ABSOLUT ! 

[asrigascanbe]

@blueroomexit bollocks, this is a classic

[scurvyoleary]

Absolutley brillinat, the best british film Ive ever seen.

[BradBrassman]

Have you ever noticed that when the "top 100" comedy films are shown on T.V. this one is always nowhere near No 1 and some American crap wins it? I have never understood this when Withnail and I, is clearly the best comedy ever made.

This is the film we should broadcast out into space in case Aliens might see it.

[ecjj21]

@BradBrassman perhaps a bit OTT.

[BradBrassman]

@ecjj21 which bit?

[ecjj21]

@BradBrassman about the best comedy ever made...

[BradBrassman]

@ecjj21 Its a personal opinion i suppose. And yours is?

[Babyhowdy233]

@ecjj21

No, not at all. :)

[99juxta]

@BradBrassman Hahahaah I agree!!!! Bring out the petition!!!!!!!

[sujitphatak]

@BradBrassman : Aliens would love it as one of their precious gems works in this film as Withnail. ;-)

[BradBrassman]

@sujitphatak You may be right!!!!!!

[graywarrior]

This scene makes me so god damn happy!

[musemeduse]

I- No, we don't have nothing, sit down

W- Liar! You got antifreeze!

I- You bloody fool, you should never mix your drinks!

And that's it. Genious.

[musemeduse]

W- The thermostat, what have you done to them?

I- I haven't touched it

W- Then why has my head gone numb?! I must have some booze... I demand to have some booze!

I- I would not drink that if I was you...

W- Why not?

I- Because I don't advice it! Not even the wankers on the side would drink that, that's worse than meth!

W- Nonsense! This is a far superior drink to meth. Wankers don't drink it because they can't afford it.

We got any more? Lier! What's in your toolbox?

Continues

[TehWinnerz]

@musemeduse why would you write down something that we can all clearly hear?

[musemeduse]

@TehWinnerz

Evidently not everyone can hear it clearly, considering the thick british accent that not every english speaker can easily understand. English is not my mother tongue and I had to watch it several times to understand it perfectly, and I thought that writing it down would help some other people too. Does it bother you?

[russinleith]

There is a solution.....

[smedley]

Wait... what did he demand to have? Can someone please transcribe that piece of dialogue for me? I didn't understand.

[russinleith]

@smedley booze = english slang for alcohol

[smedley]

@russinleith I was being sarcastic, man.

[Mackelroy2007]

I DEMAND TO HAVE SOME BOOZE!! I'm gonna go into my local pub and shout that at the top of my voice!

[Dru9Storec0wb0y]

@Mackelroy2007 i already did that it was fucking awsome mate they told me they could give me only coke but then i yelled thats not the coke i want

[SRVgal]

It is impossible not to laugh when he does that hysterical laugh. I could watch it 100s of times and that will still get me. Absolutely love it when he corpses and keeps it going. How the hell did Marwood keep a straight face.

[mpesik]

My heart's beating like a Fucked Clock!

I've used that many times.

A doll that shits itself?!!... lmao.

[LeathanL]

The most quietly hilarious movie ever made. Destinied to remain a "cult favorite" forever, but just as well.

[kennethblixt]

Brilliant Movie !

[dgfutg]

Watch Grant's face as he attempts to say "Have we got any more?"

[Hellishcrusade]

Hollywood ...eat my  ...erm, where've they gone?

[tinyrebellion]

I must have some booze. I DEMAND TO HAVE SOME BOOZE.

[rosssscow]

we'll buy this place and install a fucking jukebox

[bexislols]

i was raised on this film, from the age of 6, now if u dont mind i am going to have some ligter fluid and anty freeze

[squishy3000]

"You've got anti-freeze!"

"You should never mix your drinks!" Yeah, 'cause that's the BIGGEST worry...

[cjt5mith]

'My thumbs have gone all weird!'

[MOTHIKAS]

"Nonsence! This is a Far superior drink to meths,The only reason the wankers dont drink it,is because they cant afford it" ROFLMFAO. Fn timeless movie.

[kazimann]

"Liar, you've got anti-freeze!"

[mucklebones1973]

Have you been at the controls!!!!???

[mucklebones1973]

Now that is pure british comedy at it's best.What a fine movie.

[Empirical1980]

Alright Here?...

[rosssscow]

@Empirical1980

we want the finest wines known to humanity and we want them here and we want them now

[waIIflower]

"What is that appalling smell?"

[giamariegreene]

i love this scene! it took me about twenty viewings of this one particular scene to realize that withnail was half-naked lol

[murray1234567891011]

"The thermostats WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THEM" most underrated withnail and I quote haaha

[colleenau82]

Paul is SOOOO FREAKIN HOT! lol

[mistaben2k]

I may end up drinking that one day when the Conservatives increase the price of booze.

[cfcolly]

check out the tribute to withnail and i on my page!

[aquariussouldier]

Who are the eleven people who red thumbed this?!?!?! Show them to me, the fuckers will rue the day!!!!

[tinghaling]

Classic

[Drwhodunnit1973]

Feels like a pig shat in my head!

[MFAtlas]

That was filled with Vinegar, his reaction was geniune, you can see him almost about to crack up.

[ftgv1]

In an alternative ending withnail pours the wine from the winebottle down a shotgun with shells in it and shoot himself.

[cfcolly]

@ftgv1 that was the ending of novel Bruce Robinson's unpublished of the same name. he thought it was to dark for the film

[GLACKEN82]

Perfume PONCE!!!

[GLACKEN82]

Ponce!!!

[psypha909]

Get in the back of the van !!!

[Lpoolboy]

Look here you, my cousin's a QC!

[omgstfudavid]

@Lpoolboy GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN

[PollyR77]

follow withnail and i on twitter!

@_Withnail_And_I

[rrbh]

@jamesashbourne - that's possibly my favourite line too ( but there are just so many .) - it's a killer piece of sarcastic humour that has the knockout power of a punch from Ali !

[Removeab1emaSS]

Fuck you all!!! Im a pent up you tube feind and i hate everybody! You're all posh wankers!!! ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!

[AlanRickmanFan1122]

Might I ask how we're all 'Posh Wankers?'

[Removeab1emaSS]

@Alan Rickman Fan 1122 As well you might dear boy. Nah mate im just kidding, was a spoof you tube anger comment really, bit randomly placed i admit, should probably lay off that lighter fluid! Yeah i like Alan Rickman too, fucking ruled prince of thieves!

[AlanRickmanFan1122]

Hah Ah I see XD

[My6thAccount]

I'd like to interject by saying Alan RIckman is a hero.

[SparklingControversy]

A brilliant film, very funny and fantasticly British. I felt very emotional at the end, with Marwood leaving and Withnail's parting line.

"I have a heart condition... If you hit me, it's murder." :P

[SparklingControversy]

Fantastically*

[brunaamaro]

"You bloody fool. You should never mix your drinks." lol

[MALCBAGGIE]

Behind the cynical humour there's a real sadness behind this film-from Monty's love for 'I' to the farewell in the park.

I get the feeling they never meet again. Withnail probably dies young and 'I' becomes a big name.

[hippogriffs95]

god alone knows how I watched this film and came out with the biggest crush on *Withnail* of all all people!

[MoonPhase94]

THEN WHY DOES MY HEAD FEEL NUMB???!!

[stevoman213]

Ahh you missed off the best line.

"Have you been at the controls?!"

[pkthedude]

Thee best film ever x

[darkshines99]

I LOVE Richard E Grant in this film. Noone else could have been Withnail!

[aryanstallyan]

"you've got antifreeze"

"you should never mix your drinks!"

[vampirella6x6x6x]

or he cud have put lighter fluid on him, and lit it.. lol

[turdtoob]

"Quote from movie"

[Born2Porn21]

the reaction is real because there is vinegar in it

[richardcadbury]

I thought the reaction is real because there's vodka in it, and Richard E Grant doesn't drink irl.

[britishleylandcrap]

100% true. Did you know that when he falls down at 0:49 he was actually sick over Paul McGanns shoes :P

[rottenlydon]

yes because they has put vinegar in the lighter fluid tin instead of water to catch a realistic reaction , which worked well, his face is priceless when he realises

[MoonPhase94]

I'm amazed he was able to carry on with his lines!

[smith3451]

@Born2Porn21 if i can recall it actually is lighter fluid. haha

[mucklebones1973]

@smith3451 During the filming of the scene in which the lighter fluid is consumed, Robinson changed the contents of the can, which had been filled with water, to vinegar. While the vomiting is scripted, the facial expression is purely natural.

[cun7us]

@Born2Porn21 how do you know that?

[Born2Porn21]

@cun7us

[Joyshillaker]

@cun7us Richard E Grant was interviewed for the 10th anniversay (I think) and described what happened.

[tylerdude1982]

@Born2Porn21

Yep, it was supposed to be water but they replaced it with vinegar without his knowledge. You can tell he was trying not to laugh

[Lamnont]

If he was cold he could have put the lighter fluid in a bowl, and lit it.

[isetthingsonfire]

Lighter fluid burns too fast, you'd only have a flame for about five seconds.

[Will762]

Best name for any character, ever: Presuming Ed. I was laughing like mad when I first head that.

[rememberwheni]

there is a head shop in the city I live in called Presuming Eds...the guy who runs it is a twat tho...

[pigeonkid4]

"He's working on the PR-ototype now..."

[PollyR77]

love it!

such a classic moment in the film, but there are just so many!

if you like this film and peter doherty add me lol :D

[sinbin55671]

"You bloody fool, you should never mix your drinks"

[leeds2291]

i dont know why i love this film but i do

[cabaretbride]

"I Fuck arses, who fucks arses? Maybe he fucks arses, Maybe he wrote this in a drunken moment of sincerity....."

[RivaJane]

"Why don't you do the washing up once in a while like a human being"

"How DARE you! How dare you call me inhumane!"

[jelt1979]

Do you grow?

[ThinkLikeGeek]

MY THUMBS HAVE GONE WEIRD!

[deejaybee]

Robinson nailed something universal with this film. I was at Central St Martins in the late 80s. The hideous desperation in this scene is not lost on me - I remember living in rancid digs off Clerkenwell Road, in a piss filled hole UNDERNEATH the basement . One big room divided in 2 by 'rustic' hangings (skidmarked bedsheets), my neighbour a permanently ganja'd woman from Kent who chanted Hare fucking Krishna from sun-down to sun-up. I pissed in her shoes once. My paintings never dried.

[qwertyfla]

I fucking love this film.

Grants reaction is genuine when he drinks the lighter fluid. It's vinegar.

'Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.'

[TheEvilHRDirector]

Yeah, you can tell because he nearly laughs when he says "have we got any more?"

:D

[Philosopher0926]

The inspiration for Withnail's character really did this, supposedly.

[lilanthia]

I always crack up when Withnail starts laughing! : )

I heard that Richard.E.Grant drank water from the bottle during filming and the director switched to vinegar without telling him!

Those looks of disgust are REAL people!

[yonza2311]

"It's like Greenland in here!"

[kirgeek]

in the play the character of Withnail kills himself :( its sad, but more effective than having him drinking booze and saying his peach at the end. he should have died after his big speach...

[ThinkLikeGeek]

Why people have thumbed you down I have no I dea, kirgeek, but you're right.

[kirgeek]

what what what?! why have people thumbed me down? i don't even remember what i wrote. i hate thumbs down, its like saying- i don't agree with your opinion, therefore im going to detroy it. thankyou for standing up for me, thinklikegeek, in this sea of bullys...:(

[sandybeaches15]

love love love this film

[turdbandit]

In another clip he says "I must have somethings flesh! I shout that out now if my wife gets me just veg for tea. Top film!!

[jonnytheboy36]

is that what you shout out??? you sad little man...i bet she soon got bored of your little joke..do you shout this out every time?? i am sorry for your retardation

[itslikeframingapear]

this is definitely one of my fave films. Classic.

[jshrubz]

You should never mix your drinks!

[oliveastone]

I was in the garage yesterday looking around the toolbox when thought of this scene and burst out laughing.

"Liar. You've got anti-freeze!"

[NecroFrost1990]

Wankers don't drink it because they can't afford it!

[fuckutube21]

How dare you!

[s3hbr]

"FUCK YOU!" lol

[livcalvert]

I DEMAND TO HAVE SOME BOOZE!!

[shadster33]

liar! youve got anti-freeze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aquariussouldier]

One of the funiest 54 seconds Ive ever seen ;-D

[aquariussouldier]

That script/sketch is pure genius lol

[Morthund]

apparently the bastards on the film-set put vinegar in the lighter-fluid-bottle, so it's a genuine reaction when he swallows the piss

[noisyneil]

yeah, someone told me that before i watched this, and you can see him laugh a bit when he realised what they did! i need to see this film! :-)

[ihateprovos2]

'Imagine the size of his balls'

[ovendenway]

this film is excellent, saw it many years ago and still watch it to this day. i once lent it to a friend who was, lets just say sensilble, the next day he said he loved it and wanted to borrow the film again. just shows the power of the withnail film. cult classic!!!!

[MoonAharshMistress]

The thermostat.. what have you done to it? ..then why has my head gone numb?

Been there after too much drinking!

The only criticism is, theyre meant to be poor students ..but this flat looks like the arty farty ones in Notting Hill that go for half a million..

a bedsit in Tottenham wouldnt be so cool i spose.

[thicky7ern]

PERFUMED PONCE!!!

[guardian891]

ur a towel!

[drJarv]

SO BEEN THERE. awesome.

[gromit789]

funny as fuck like

[cabbageproducts]

the director put vinegar in the bottle and told rich that it was going to be water - this was to get a more real reaction. if you look closely, right after he drinks it he breaks character.

[BelvisTheFirst]

now you said that its realy noticable, cheers

[EGlVM]

I looked this up right after reading that just to see it. And it's awesome. LOL

[Harnolb]

Fart!

[chrisward652]

the most quotable film of all time. and i think one of my favourites

[chuiblue13]

LMAO! Richard E Grants face when he drinks the lighter fluid... reminds me of a mate who was so desperate he drank his dad's aftershave!!! haha

[awisden1]

Yes, they actually filled it with vinegar and didn't tell him, he thought it was water

[Harnolb]

So I have heard!

[tribalish]

got any more? ;)

'liar, what's in your toolbox?!'

[mike3127]

Richard E Grant is an amazing actor
