0:41 Lol a snake crawling in his own shit....hahaha so true!

[bbqsky2]

I had the exact same thought,maybe they had to do two takes and the directors just never could figure out what everyone was laughing about but probably they never laughed about it at that time because everyone felt the same way and it made for a great story to tell among themselves,either way it`s hilarious to know now !!

[Deadzilla]

lmfao I wonder if my grandparents ever caught this.

[FlyFree4evr]

I don't see how the others could've kept a straight face. I'd be laughing so hard XD

John Wayne was probably overcompensating for the fact that his real first name was Marion.

[Nerdificent]

This is hilarious. I would like to hear more. I'm sure other hilarious things were said.

[VENICECHIEF]

My Uncle told long time ago. making a movie with John Wayne all Indians where chasing John Wayne some one took a shot at the Indians. Every Indians fell off there horse, all at once.

What am I confusing than? Why is there absolutely nothing alike? If you find me ignorant, enlighten me.

[happyjellyfish]

Please educate yourself. I don't think you're a malicious person, but you are coming across as incredibly offensive and ignorant and I don't think that's your intent. Stop while you're ahead. Read up on privilege and the occupation of silenced space. And again, I don't mean that to offend you, I just know you have no idea what you're talking about, because you're still confusing two things that are not alike in any way shape or form. At all.

[inotaishu1]

Well I couldn't know that could I? And definitely not "every single language." Either way, I didn't compare, I said I could relate to being misrepresented not about being opressed. Can you relate how it is to be told that your language sounds angry and like a speech for world domination no matter what you say? Are you constantly compared and related to an egomaniac who is together with his allies responsible for the death of millions at home and afar? Would anybody ever tell that to you?

[happyjellyfish]

You are comparing oranges to apples. Every single language, be it Japanese or Spanish or German or French has been done half assed in any crappy, under-researched Hollywood movie. That is still not in any way comparable to the Navajo. I'm not saying white people can't experience marginalisation/prejudice but what you're saying is ridiculous, you are not being oppressed. And I'm also part of Bavarian descent, so don't assume I'm ignorant about the ethnic makeup of Europe, bc I'm not uninformed.
