"As coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her. And she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead!" My second favorite Oz scene (after Bert Lahr's hilarious "If I Were King of the Forest.")
I am so glad you wrote the words! I could not get the "I must aver" part, and it was driving me stark, raving mad! Whew! I dodged that bullet...for now.
I like the "it really was no mirical what happened was just this! The wind began to switch, the house to pitch!" part in the munchkin land scene and the emerald city song aswell ofc
I actually met the coroner of oz in Chesterton Indiana at the wizard of oz fest. His name is Meinhardt Raabe, he signed a book he wrote about the oz experience called Memories of a munchkin for me and my mother. He was about 90 at the time.
@@aaronying4989 He was a very nice man. He started talking to my mother for a long time. He was a very positive person, and Oz was his only role. He said he was grateful for the "lucky 15 minutes" that it took to climb up the steps to Judy Garland and read his lines. He admitted he never watched or read Oz, so he really had no idea what it was about. Before being in the film, he was a salesman for Oscar Meyer.
@@Tanyableu yeah, I didn't know it was "aver" at first, because I'd never heard that word before. It's like I thought "duty" was "doody" the first time I heard someone say it and I started laughing. My parents probably thought I was a retard lol
That "IF ANY!" Cracks me up every time lmao. Dudes not even giving the speech and its like he got offended because he doesn't have a family and wanted representation.
He undoubtedly found that her respiration rate (breathing) was zero, her pulse was zero, and she had no heartbeat. That was pretty much enough back in the 1930s to declare someone dead.
More than 20 years ago, Rick Polito wrote this one line description of the move for a newspaper TV guide: “Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.”
One of my favorite movies but nobody wants to touch the part that the coroner said he thoroughly examined her… how when her body is still plastered underneath the house lol.

I know the feeling. For years I heard "There's a bathroom on the right" (instead of "Bad Moon on the Rise!")
Way to get the "aver" part right, it's not a word a lot of people are familiar with

It’s my favorite and to me he sounds Irish for some reason 😂
"She's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead" is a great rhyme lol
Despite the fact he rhymed "dead" with "dead"?
@@yookeemookeemerely and sincerely are the subjects of the rhyme, not dead and dead
Everyone loves the lollipop guild but this is my favorite munchkin song lol
Sammmeeee
Yea I always remembered this one the most, the mayor and coroner lol
Yup that’s my
I am stupid qupid

I tried to get a hold of him back when he was alive. My family is from the same town in Wisconsin and we were wondering if we were related.
@@raabegmbh7682 You might be, you never know.
I saw him Lakeland, Florida, in about 1999, at a commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the film.
Was he a positive person about the experience of making the movie? And said good things about it. Was he happy ?

0:50 Glinda is like, “Aren’t they cute?”
I lost my federal job trying to impersonate this..
Coroner you're the real MVP!
totally agree
True fr😂😂
My wife's late father came from Kansas. She told me that there is Wizard of Oz stuff there everywhere!
As coroner i must aver
I thoroughly examined her
And she's not only merrily dead
She really most sincerely dead
"Merely" dead
@@NeuralNetProcessor I always thought it was "really". Like, she's not just really dead, she's really, really, REALLY dead
@@Tanyableu yeah, I didn't know it was "aver" at first, because I'd never heard that word before. It's like I thought "duty" was "doody" the first time I heard someone say it and I started laughing. My parents probably thought I was a retard lol
@Muhammad Abdelilah Meinhardt Raabe died in 2010.
Meinhardt Raabe, 1915 - 2010. The last surviving cast member to have any dialogue.
Praise our Lorne and savior Cawd!
@@nploda1408 Oh cawd!
Jerry Maren was actually the last.
Take a seat, right over there.
I’m singing the coroner bit for my summer show of this ;w;
That "IF ANY!" Cracks me up every time lmao. Dudes not even giving the speech and its like he got offended because he doesn't have a family and wanted representation.
I never noticed that lol
I’m playing the coroner in my school musical
lol I'm playing the mayor
He thoroughly examined her? And what did he find in his thorough examination? That she had a house lodged on her abdomen?
Maybe try comment something new kid ?
The Munchkins are lawful people. They can't just dispose of the witch's body if she was still alive, no matter how evil she was.
Lol
He undoubtedly found that her respiration rate (breathing) was zero, her pulse was zero, and she had no heartbeat. That was pretty much enough back in the 1930s to declare someone dead.
She was a witch. Who knows what her magic could have allowed her to survive?
Cause of death: blunt force trauma/asphyxiation.
Manner of death: homicide.
"If any!"
Damn dude, way to be a downer.
I didn’t notice that till now
He'd fit in perfectly in this day and age lol
I love the coroner and mayor's outfits and the songs. and the one in purple in the mayor's face ''undeniably and reliably dead!!' lol
This comment section has me not only merely dead, but really most sincerely dead
1:10that after thought look Dorothy gave the Coroner made this scene 1,000,000,000 times funnier! She was like “da FUK WAS DAT?!?!?!?!” Lmao 😂
why does this go so hard
This is who I am going to be in a play!!!!!!😀😀😁😁
sameeee
I know this whole video word for word lol
And somehow I always end up back here…
“But we have to verify it LeGaLlAy”✨💅 Good Grief I have to play this guy in the wizard of oz play 😂
Day of independence.
I love the coroner, but I never liked the cut after his proclamation. It’s really awkward, harsh and too obviously from a different take.
I always noticed that lol
Great song.
I want the coroner to announce my own death similarly right before the Oompa Loompa song making fun of how I died
So has anyone else come up with the fact tht Dorothy was a serial killer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
More than 20 years ago, Rick Polito wrote this one line description of the move for a newspaper TV guide: “Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.”
Yea if you look from the perspective of Wicked 😂😂lol
I know this song isn't about me, but i feel it's about me.
Love dat coroner
I wonder what the coroner put as the cause and manner of death, on the certificate.
I remember when I played the mayor of munchkin city when I was in high school during my junior year
The coroner just went and kicked the feet and was like yep
I love you Chantal❤🤗
One of my favorite movies but nobody wants to touch the part that the coroner said he thoroughly examined her… how when her body is still plastered underneath the house lol.
RIP RBG.

If you do cross word puzzles you are familiar with the word "aver", to swear to or attest.
00:52 lets gooo cornor
