Steve Martin, Happy Feet

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

so absurd

[perkiomenville]

It's funny because Steve Martin calls it "happy feet" not "sad feet." Explaining this just kills the comedy.

[Ohfishyfishyfish]

To me how he's performing them isn't great or particularly funny, it's the ideas that're important. When I think later about this particular bit I might crack a smile. It's like a laugh on the inside instead of outside.

This is one of his most famous bits right? How is this funny? Must be a generational thing.

[ducttapesniper42]

@djw151 no, this is a tasteful sense of humor thing.

[djw151]

@ducttapesniper42 I'll take that as sarcasm.

II remember as a teenager watching Steve do this routine on another show before SNL ever was on. And yes being a teenager I stole his happy feet and would have to start dancing away LOL I remember alot of strange stares in elevators.

I want to do this in an elevator.

Look around shiftly, then quetly announce 'Uh-oh... Excuse me, I'm afraid I'm getting... HAPPY FEET.'

Then flail around wildly as shown above.

If someone gets a minor injury, you did it right.

Shit

[ginger4bailey]

too funny.

[trex65ghia]

i never thought any of this was funny

[redlightmax]

@trex65ghia Just wait for the drugs to take effect.

[driftwoodviking]

@trex65ghia Martin is an "anti-comedian," which is what makes him so funny. Seriously, where would Steven Wright, Emo Phillips, Judy Tenuta, Carrot Top and so on, be today without Steve's influence? Just as Steve himself has openly acknowledged the influence of acts who helped pave the way, such as Jonathan Winters and Monty Python, among others.

[trex65ghia]

@driftwoodviking ok....so its anti-comedian... That makes sense becaus its anti funny..... Really.... Its hard to watch is so not funny....

[driftwoodviking]

@trex65ghia I don't feel the need to keep explaining or defending Steve's ironic style of humor...Some people "get" him, some don't. :)

[trex65ghia]

@driftwoodviking ok....i dont think you need to expain anything to me.. Its either funny or not..Its pretty subjective. Its like you trying to elpain why i should like the color blue.. I never found him to be funny... In anything...

[driftwoodviking]

@trex65ghia Like I said, I don't feel the need to explain or defend Steve. Cheers :)

[saranghaeyo2326]
