Ian(and the writers) ripped westerns out of the ground and created a legend. A staple. True western fans love this guy. I tried so hard to not cuss like him in this comment.
And the irony is the "can be combative" bit was direction in the script, NOT a actual line, it was referring how he should say "Welcome to fucking Deadwood."
Deadwood - best series on television, period. There have been others that have been good, well written and acted but nothing like this. Ended way before it should have. Acting,writing,direction,set design, all of it superlative. I have watched the series several times through and am amazed at how I see/hear things I have missed, even after watching the series repeatedly ! The writing is "dense" in a way, at least some of it is, so you have to think about it for a moment, what did I just hear ? Other parts are immediate and direct without chance of mistake or wrong interpretation. Absolutely brilliant !!!!
Best series ever ! Also al had some of the best one liners ever. IMHO the entire cast is top notch, each character was interesting and engaging, even the chick sweeping gave the whole thing depth. I watch the entire series every once in a while.
I can't wait to see him on GOT ! He is one of the finest actors out there. I know whatever role he plays he will do it with style and a little bit of Al Swearengens twinkle in his eye ! Love this man ! 💖
reminds me so much of my old man. looked like him, same voice, about the same height, same eyes. rip the old geezer, was a top bloke. Old age wouldn't have suited him
I'm watching this series for the umpteenth time and I just noticed something new - which, of course, is one of the reasons why this series is so incredible. Al Swearengen has a phrase he uses to describe certain people to others who don't know them (yet): "He's (she's) alright". And the wonderful thing is, those he describes as "alright" ARE alright - good people of integrity. Just another demonstration of the depth and complexity of this incredible character.
“What’s your posture, Bullock?” I just finished the show for the first time and that was some of the best dialogue I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching… Incredible all around, but Ian… 👏👏👏👏👏 Hats off to you sir! 🙇♂️🎻🤠
Manny Suarez Yup, they announced they hired him for next season. No word on what character he will play but he should fit right in perfectly in GOT's crazy nasty world :)
Deadwood, Rome, the new Battlestar Galactica, 24, and Boston Legal are all in my pantheon of great TV Series...and only one of them remains on air. This, by far, was one of the greatest series ever and Swearengen the best character.

From the main cast to the extras, Deadwood was a masterpiece. Those end credit songs were awesome. The movie had me tearing up during that auction scene. ~_~
sopranos and wire are about equal. deadwood is above everything. David Milch is a genius wordsmith. Combining the poetic/theatrical "elevated" language with the vulgarity was the perfect combination. Some people criticize deadwood for the rampant swearing, but are they listening to the words in between?
Okay. So I couldn't sleep the other night. Went to my Ultimate History Channel quiz app. One of the questions was who was killed by Ford in the late 1880s. The choices were Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickok, Billy the Kid, and Ian McShane. NOT kidding!!
I haven't watched this show before. I just watched the movie Hot Rod with Ian McShane and Andy Samberg; I liked Ian's character so much that I just started looking up other things he's been in. He is now one of my favorite actors. He is an extremely versatile actor.
Something I just noticed - although I have seen the series countless times - is when Swearengen says someone is "alright," they actually are. He is a good judge of personal integrity. He used "alright" to describe Merrick, Langrish, and Joanie Stubbs - and probably others.
Aw man, Terra812, I'm struggling to think of some sort of line that Ian McShane's Al Swearengen didn't deliver during the course of this brilliant programme. I found it hard to believe his best can be summed up in 7 minutes and 54 seconds. But you did the business, baby! This is absolutely cool. It's wonderful. It's memorable. It takes me me back to 2006. Well done! I can only imagine the effort that went in to seeking out and editing these clips. Good for you! I'd like, if I may, to put in one of my favourite lines: "They dance on, Chief, however much at home, as if yours and mine, comfort and love await... unhurt, it appears." 😉🧡
Thanks. It's nice that you recognized the effort that went into these. I did a series of "Best of Al Swearengen" Al talks business, Al talks Love, Al the badass. A couple have been deleted by RUclips. These are the benefits of me losing a job in the 2008 crash.
"Now, I wanna know who cut the cheese... I'll say right now, that who ever farts in this office and doesn't own up to it, is going off the fucking balcony head-first into the fucking muck! Let's see how you like farting from that fucking position!'
What's interesting to me...is that not much really happened in this show, that did no involve Swearengen. Anything without his involvement was moderately interesting. He was the show.
Incredible show. I know historically they mix 20-40 years worth of time and characters, but visually and audibly they do have speech, clothing and sets perfect for the time. I wish it could come back. Come on movie, do well.
Why HBO Max isn’t busy making a Deadwood prequel I’ll never know. I can think of at least 3 off the type of my head 1. Al Swearengen as a young kid helping raise his brother (the one with seizures) into his earlier years 2. Explore years before when Al was on the run and his adventures with Jack the theater actor up until he heads out and helps build Deadwood with Dan, Tom Nuttall, Johnny, and EB 3. Set the story from Bullocks point of view. It could start in Montana with him as a marshal and maybe introduce him mentor and tell his brothers story. That’s just three potential versions from a fanboy. Writers could do something really good.
When it was back on HBO, I have no idea what was going on. Years later, still have no idea where the story was going on. But I remember I loved it so like rescue me. It's just..you ask yourself...what is going on here?
If anyone thinks life was cool and simpler back then, imagine dying of kidney stones, UTI, amonia, staff infection (any kind of wound), or just being unable to work. And basicly any illness. Let's applaude ourselves in 2020, because we nailed this tragedy.

One of the greatest characters of all time. It’s unfortunate not very many people have heard of or even watched this masterpiece of a show.
@@allureofthelens8858 I would have given anything for a few more Al vs Wild Bill scenes, they were amazing to witness.
did u like the movie?
So tremendously agreed. He is genius .
I dropped it cuz it was so frickin boring and the characters were all annoying
@lifeisberserk9566 just admit you have the attention span of a child lmao go watch Marvel shows then, that would be more on your level
"anyhow, thanks for brushin against my prick" the delivery
I just rewatched the whole series again (for the 3rd time) and am almost brought to tears that there are only 3 seasons. This show was exceptional.
4th round going now:)
Im on the 4th go around also.
They've made a movie now dude wrapping up the finale of the show.
Sometimes I get as mad as Bullock when I think: Big Bang Theory-11 seasons. Deadwood-3 seasons.
if i could warp to a different demention i'd choose the one where deadwood didn't get cancelled
One of the best characters in the history of television.
I'm in love!
Believe it or not, the real guy was even worse.
💯💯💯
Ian McShane is ridiculously good in this, it's frightening👏👏
Sometimes a man is born to play that one role. This is that one role for Ian...
He's been great since his days on the BBC playing a dodgy antique dealer.
I saw him in Game of Thrones and Ray Donovan , as recurrent character ! He is a great actor !!
Ian(and the writers) ripped westerns out of the ground and created a legend. A staple. True western fans love this guy.
I tried so hard to not cuss like him in this comment.
My daughter and I pay homage to David Milch's Deadwood: ruclips.net/video/1HXC9azwn2U/видео.html
"we teach a special sweeping technique here...follow her lead" lol one of his best lines
"John Wick, what have you fucking done on fucking continental fucking grounds"!!!
"Centuries of fucking inbreeding, attuned him to the necessities of the times"
Deadwood easily have the best dialogues I have ever seen in my life.
Al and Trixie shitting on jews is the best part of the whole show. Back when people in show business still had balls.
Al was easily the best character by far.
Yes, I chose Al as my favorite character but he had to grow on me. Second fav would be Joni Stubbs.
My daughter and I pay homage to David Milch's Deadwood: ruclips.net/video/1HXC9azwn2U/видео.html
"Welcome to fucking Deadwood." One of my favorite lines. Badass, even after a brutal fight. One of my favorite lines. Love this show.
And the irony is the "can be combative" bit was direction in the script, NOT a actual line, it was referring how he should say "Welcome to fucking Deadwood."
"...anyhow, thanks for brushing against my prick."
"He's alwayyyyys draggin' that fuckin' leg." Brilliant
She*
Season 2 Episode 7 "He"*
Jewel to Al. One of the best moments of the show. You don't remember?
Ehh, I prefer when Al says it.
Al Swear Engine
This comment is too underrated.
Lmfao
"First one to touch me, I kill." Losing a finger and yet he still refuses to show weakness, how can you not love this guy?
Al is the heart and soul of deadwood
"I lose patience with cunts too ignorant to know when their lots improved." Best fucking line ever. I love Al Swearengen.
Christian Hoffmann True! Hard to top.
"stay the fuck away from him, I'm having mine served cold"
Such a badass.
"Us! You and me! Come to me in a vision, you stupid bastard" sheer gold lmao
"Announcing your plans is a good way to make God laugh" wow!
Yep, and actually it's from an old yiddish saying, "if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans." But way better delivered by Ian McShane!
during COVID it seems even more to be the case. that is if you're a believer.

Probably the most interesting character in TV history.
The dynamic with him and jewel was my favorite.
Best series ever ! Also al had some of the best one liners ever. IMHO the entire cast is top notch, each character was interesting and engaging, even the chick sweeping gave the whole thing depth. I watch the entire series every once in a while.
THE theatre angle from season 3 is awful
RonnyUniverse They’re alright.
I can't wait to see him on GOT ! He is one of the finest actors out there. I know whatever role he plays he will do it with style and a little bit of Al Swearengens twinkle in his eye ! Love this man ! 💖
"I'm a fucking Septon"
reminds me so much of my old man. looked like him, same voice, about the same height, same eyes.
rip the old geezer, was a top bloke. Old age wouldn't have suited him
Brilliantly written and perfectly acted. One of the most vivid characters and greatest creations in the history of television.
Quite possibly the greatest actor I've ever seen.
Definitely the best TV show.
I miss this show so much, I almost wish I never saw it.

I really cant think of another actor who would have done it this well.
“What’s your posture, Bullock?” I just finished the show for the first time and that was some of the best dialogue I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching… Incredible all around, but Ian… 👏👏👏👏👏 Hats off to you sir! 🙇♂️🎻🤠
McShane performance in this thing was huge. Absolutely stole the show in every occasion.
TheGrandeperuzzi ... i think Calamity Jane stole it.
He's an amazing guy. Like Hopkins. The Bounty and Silence of the Lambs!
TheGrandeperuzzi: exactly my idea!
I came for Wild Bill and I stayed for Swearengen.
His best work after Lovejoy of course
Who still watching in 2019
Deadwood is the best western show to this day!!!😍
Al's helping me in spirit while i'm recovering from surgery.
One of the best performances ever imo. can't wait to see him on GOT
No freggin way !really he got cast on Got?
Manny Suarez Yup, they announced they hired him for next season. No word on what character he will play but he should fit right in perfectly in GOT's crazy nasty world :)
Awesome he fits perfectly there's a few others I'd love to be in it especially considering how this guy murders you fave characters
+Manny Suarez not sure though who he will play, the description sounds like it could be a greyjoy......hmm
+kozzy420420 BEST... NEWS...EVER!!!!
Can’t stop hitting the replay button.
Al / Ian . . .
Another G O A T .
Greatest
Of
All
Time.
There's a reason he swears so much and so well. His name is SWEAR ENGINE. :-)
Ahh ha ha good one 😊
Deadwood, Rome, the new Battlestar Galactica, 24, and Boston Legal are all in my pantheon of great TV Series...and only one of them remains on air. This, by far, was one of the greatest series ever and Swearengen the best character.
Looks like it's gonna be one of those days I need to hear some dam Al Swearengen wisdom. Give some punishment back
Ian McShane playing him is like David Duchovny playing Fox Mulder!
There is no way any other actor cud pull it off!!
Ian(and the writers) ripped westerns out of the ground and created a legend. A staple. True western fans love this guy.
I tried so hard to not cuss like him in this comment.
Great video. Al Swearengen has to be one of the best charcters on TV ever.
Every scene he's in is the best!
From the main cast to the extras, Deadwood was a masterpiece. Those end credit songs were awesome. The movie had me tearing up during that auction scene. ~_~
One of the best characters I've seen - admirable character - incredible acting.
"clean somewhere where I can't see you"
"y'know i'm half-way thinking this exaggerates the condition rather than alleviates it."
FUCKIN DEAD
The way he says "on the one hand and on the other hand" makes me laugh😂
This has already been said a million times: Al Swearengen = Best Tv Character EVER!
Everyone always hyping up "The Sopranos" when both "Deadwood" and "The Wire" are superior in pretty much every way.
sopranos and wire are about equal. deadwood is above everything. David Milch is a genius wordsmith. Combining the poetic/theatrical "elevated" language with the vulgarity was the perfect combination. Some people criticize deadwood for the rampant swearing, but are they listening to the words in between?
Im Italian and say the sopranos was over hyped and ntm stereotypical af ... like we all sit around in track suits and eat cold cuts
Ian McShane is an amazing guy! He's in a movie with Stacy Keach from 1977 called The Squeeze.
But Deadwood is a tour de force...
Best show ever!
When he ain't lyin, Al is the most honorable man you'll ever meet
"Tell your god to ready for blood" - love that line
Swearengen is god. Best character ever on TV for my money.
One of the best performances by an actor in a tv show ever...I'd say it even beats bryan cranston from breaking bad
My daughter and I pay homage to David Milch's Deadwood: ruclips.net/video/1HXC9azwn2U/видео.html
Far better
Not even close buddy lost me in translation buddy
Tony Soprano beats Cranston too
@@GrimReader😂😂 bullshit
Everyone in this show was fantastic in their roles, but lan McShane was genius level- best monologues this side of Shakespeare.
als kidney stone was one of the most beautiful, fucked up moments in television i can recall...
Best character ever.
I heard this is coming back in 2018!!! Please!!! I need more Deadwood!!!
Status??
Jacqui Harper 2019 spring break 3 hour HBO movie with all actors coming back , already filmed
"why if im moving away from you do you fucking pursue me" "close the assflap"
Lmao damn this character is fucking wild 😂
"A human being in his last extremity is a bag of shit." Haha, awesome.
Okay. So I couldn't sleep the other night. Went to my Ultimate History Channel quiz app. One of the questions was who was killed by Ford in the late 1880s. The choices were Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickok, Billy the Kid, and Ian McShane. NOT kidding!!
Well, it was obviously Ian McShane.
Nikki Moth Gotta be. Huzzah!
“Tell your god to ready for blood” Damn that was badass.
Ian McShane, absolute legend that even Titus Welliver had to watch and learn from.
McShane steals every scene he is in. Compare this to my other favourite Lovejoy just shows you the depth of range he can play.
I haven't watched this show before. I just watched the movie Hot Rod with Ian McShane and Andy Samberg; I liked Ian's character so much that I just started looking up other things he's been in. He is now one of my favorite actors. He is an extremely versatile actor.
Al's conversations with Wo were fantastic.
BEST SHOW!!!! & Alotta The Actors/Actresses From This Show Are Now In "SOA!" Another FABULOUS SHOW!!! BRING DEADWOOD BACK!!!
Many times, that's what life is--one vile fuckin' task after another.
At least he's honest -- in his way.
One of my most favorite characters of all time!
My favourite character by far in Deadwood. Very sad they never made the final season.
Justified..my new favorite
If you haven't seen this show you don't know what your missing
He made me laugh so much during the second season during all that agonny he endured XD
4:44 Whenever I now hear anyone say "On the one hand", I remember this scene lol.
Y'all please keep the DEADWOOD comin'!
Andrew Fury
"Welcome to fuckin' Deadwood!.....Can be combative!!!!....Ouch!!!
Fuckin' love it!
If only I had a way to post the Holiday Season DEADWOOD pics I contrived . . .
"Tonight, I plan on drinkin' IN!"
Andrew Fury
That's alright Jane...I know your canvassing techniques.
I don't need any casualties on my conscience.
Something I just noticed - although I have seen the series countless times - is when Swearengen says someone is "alright," they actually are. He is a good judge of personal integrity. He used "alright" to describe Merrick, Langrish, and Joanie Stubbs - and probably others.
best fucking character on any show ever
Damn fn right man.
Richard Harrow is cooler
God loves us: “Deadwood: The Movie” comes to is all May 31st 2019 on HBO.
Apart from the John wick franchise he is a great actor he's the king of insults and the king of mischief and schemes funny as hell
Aw man, Terra812, I'm struggling to think of some sort of line that Ian McShane's Al Swearengen didn't deliver during the course of this brilliant programme.

What's interesting to me...is that not much really happened in this show, that did no involve Swearengen. Anything without his involvement was moderately interesting. He was the show.
So at this point, all constructive work has ceased on said computer and I'm just perusing bollocks on youtube, though quality bollocks it is.
Loved that show
Negan’s great great great grandfather.
Incredible show.
I know historically they mix 20-40 years worth of time and characters, but visually and audibly they do have speech, clothing and sets perfect for the time.
I wish it could come back. Come on movie, do well.
Well nothing has been written in stone yet, But yea David Milch has started writing a script.
It's called "drama".
Aw left out the "AH FUCK YOU AL" from Doc
He's a hell of a good actor...
Best character of any series 😂 just gold
Why HBO Max isn’t busy making a Deadwood prequel I’ll never know. I can think of at least 3 off the type of my head 1. Al Swearengen as a young kid helping raise his brother (the one with seizures) into his earlier years 2. Explore years before when Al was on the run and his adventures with Jack the theater actor up until he heads out and helps build Deadwood with Dan, Tom Nuttall, Johnny, and EB 3. Set the story from Bullocks point of view. It could start in Montana with him as a marshal and maybe introduce him mentor and tell his brothers story. That’s just three potential versions from a fanboy. Writers could do something really good.
Up there with the sopranos, six feet under, and the wire as the greatest hbo shows ever
1:35 Imagine if he said this to Dutch van der Linde.
agreed, not to mention milch is amazing director/screenwriter
When it was back on HBO, I have no idea what was going on.
Years later, still have no idea where the story was going on.
But I remember I loved it so like rescue me.
It's just..you ask yourself...what is going on here?
If anyone thinks life was cool and simpler back then, imagine dying of kidney stones, UTI, amonia, staff infection (any kind of wound), or just being unable to work. And basicly any illness. Let's applaude ourselves in 2020, because we nailed this tragedy.
That's a great way of putting things into perspective 👌
Best show ever made !
