He didn’t react to the fact that any of them were waiting outside his stall, really makes you wonder how often they did that that he doesn’t even care anymore or question what Olivia is doing in the men’s room😂
@@ryanmarlee6236 she’s got the entire police department and even some criminals by the neck, she’s untouchable. You do not mess with Olivia Benson. She had no issues tell Chief McGrath off 🤣🤣
I agree, Cragen is especially a great father figure for Elliot and Olivia, Olivia's father left her before she was even born, and Elliot's father was abusive
@Nutter butter I don’t remember the schizophrenia part but that he did kill himself. But the phrasing doesn’t work no matter what Maybe “olivias father couldnt be in her life”
Dr. Wong and Cabot are the extended family that come to visit every once in awhile and Melinda's their long distance cousin... who only visits every few months or so
One thing that I feel is missing on the current seasons: In the earlier seasons, Cragen stayed in the team’s asses when he felt they needed it. And especially when they made rookie mistakes, we saw him take them to school and sometimes to task. It not only brought humor but brought him out of his office or brought the team into his office. The squad today seems to know everything, which should not always be the case.
I think they just need more new detectives cuz we sorta had that with Kat and now some with the new guy but its just not as much and definitely less humorous (thank WL for that I guess).
When did anyone call Kat out without it immediately being painted as her being the victim of sexism, being told to learn her place etc.? And conversely, how often was she tiptoed around and treated with kid gloves when she should’ve been raked over the coals for something she said or did that was, in fact, out of line? For example, remember the episode “what can happen in the dark“ with a script was flipped and it was a woman abusing a man? She out right scoffed at and mocked him, but was perfectly happy to immediately take her side when she alleged he was the abuser to throw them off the scent. Cragen or even a younger, more outspoken Olivia would’ve taken Kat to task for that.
I never really cared for her character to begin with, but that episode made me outright hate her. Kudos to Jamie Gray Hyder for that, though, and I hope and pray she doesn’t have the same mindset as her character.
I've been watching this show for 20 years and I never even realized how dad this dude was. And FOR THE TENTH TIME ELLIOT, WHY AREN'T YOU GETTING THAT PSYCH EVAL?!
@@detmstr341 episode 7 season 12 Trophy, the reason they needed the mandatory psych evaluations was because in the middle of the episode both benson and stabler were shot at while finding the perp
I love that we got to see Cragen again for the show’s 500th episode and the way that he told Olivia how proud he was to see her shine and move up in her career. ❤️🥺
Cragen might be my very favorite for this reason. He sees the need for a father figure in his staff's life and he steps up to fill it...tough love, kindness, discipline, all of it. Great video summary of his character.
I love Liv and Elliot, I really do. But I can TOTALY feel Cragen’s frustration whenever they avoid psych evils or don’t listen to him. Yes they catch the bag guys but they also get into serious trouble
One of my personal fave craven quotes is when the get a suspect to confess by-ahem-“fabricating the truth” and Cragen turns to Novak and says “god I love the dumb ones”
"damnit this place is a pig sty" "woah you're the one that said no janitors" "oh thanks olivia, its my fault" i mean she's kinda right and it is you're fault this line always got me 😂
I love this! I keep saying that Liv is now pretty much their mommy, raising all of these feral children. Finn is the older and more mature child that tries to help out but can still be naughty sometimes.
I miss the days when the golden kids were also the trouble some two for an exhausted dad tired of putting up with their crap. Definitely want to see more moments with Ayanna as 3.0 Cragen.
Ahhhhh. This is gold. Pure gold. And please always use this music with these. It adds to the humor. 🤣 I still hope you do one for Munch and with Liv in the Cragen role.
him turning into Old Dad Cragen in later seasons and just barely managing to parent Amanda because that is his youngest daughter and frankly she can do no wrong, mostly because he is too tired to accuse her
Y'all should watch him on that old show smart guy. He played the crazy and funny coach Gerber. Y'all need to watch him in that one. He's so funny and so different from his role on SVU.
This was great. You should have made it longer so you can add two lines. From Lethal Weapon series: I'm too old for this ***. Cragen is a recovered alcoholic. He takes out a bottle of water or whatever he drinks. Looks at it. "I need some real booze to get through today/make sense out of this case."
2:31 Not Cragen and Stablers position being dwapped Expectation: *Cragen telling Stabler to get off a suspect* Reality: *Stabler trying to pull Cragens big back off Tucker*
Glad you guys like it 😃
can you make a compilation of Alexandra Cabot and Casey Novak being sassy?
What episode is it where Elliot has to have his manitory psych eval?
This might sound impossible, but, could you type up a list of the episodes these clips are from? That would be great.
L
this is amazingly funny🤣🤣🤣
Olivia being in the men’s room to bother Cragen is such a power move. I LOVE these videos.

do you know what episode that is by any chance
Same!!!!!
They really didn’t mind the smell of his shit
"So i'm being adopted, am I?" Novak being the unofficial child of Cragen and basically the squad's other older sister
“CHILDREN!” and “I’m not tipping all of you.” always make me laugh.
Aww they all really were his kids, even Munch 😭
Munch is the kid who's mentally 50
Munch's actor is older than Cragens
@@AladeenMusic yeah… the actor but not the character
andddd now he’s gone.
@@AladeenMusic yep by 6 years
RIP Munch. He passed away today
Donald Cragen was the closest to a father Olivia has ever had.
Any of them really.
@@mckayleem3098 0:11 Lynne Thigpen reference.
I laughed out loud at "he's still into blondes be back in 15 years!!!" If that wasn't the truth! That was gold!
"Beck. I'm not adopting you" took me out 😂
I agree, Cragen is especially a great father figure for Elliot and Olivia, Olivia's father left her before she was even born, and Elliot's father was abusive
Olivias father is a literal rapist??
@Nutter butter I don’t remember the schizophrenia part but that he did kill himself.
But the phrasing doesn’t work no matter what
Maybe “olivias father couldnt be in her life”
@@kaelyn800 why did you delete your original comment?
I know they're at the top of their game on the squad, but, I bet they felt relieved knowing someone is watching out for them.
Dr. Wong and Cabot are the extended family that come to visit every once in awhile and Melinda's their long distance cousin... who only visits every few months or so
What about Novak?
Yes! The classic and original crew will always be a little family, Captain Cragen, Elliot, Olivia, Munch, Fin, Huang, Cabot, even Novak and Warner.
Seriously. GOAT energy!!
YES WHY DID THEY LEAVE
@@sofialaura5219 Better opportunities, changing status, etc. At least we have this as a Law and Order time capsule
The detectives following Captain Cragen made me think of Mamma Duck and her ducklings.
You read my mind 😂😂😂

"If you were a second later you'd be interrupting his murder" this videos are solid gold
Elliot getting in between tucker and cragan like " woah dad! Dad!"
It’s funny because Elliot despised Tucker and he didn’t want to see Cragen give Tucker a beatdown 😂🤣
Which episode is that one?
😊
Ahhhh, the reference to Liv and Tucker. That is going to be one epic conversation....
I love that we got to see Cragen again for the show’s 500th episode and the way that he told Olivia how proud he was to see her shine and move up in her career. ❤️🥺
Cragen was such a patient father

should’ve included the moment when he gave alex a gun (season 5). they had such an underrated father-daughter relationship
Forgot that one. Yeah it mightve worked. Mightve fallen into the category of "too serious for wii music" tho😂there were a few.
@@mckayleem3098 yeah i get that lol. i just thought that scene was so sweet 🥺 and how everyone was so concerned about her for that episode
Magnifying glass and bathroom are probably my two favorite Cragen moments ever.
I love Liv and Elliot, I really do. But I can TOTALY feel Cragen’s frustration whenever they avoid psych evils or don’t listen to him. Yes they catch the bag guys but they also get into serious trouble
The fact that they all piled into the bathroom. LOL No place for Cragen to hide.
One of my personal fave craven quotes is when the get a suspect to confess by-ahem-“fabricating the truth” and Cragen turns to Novak and says “god I love the dumb ones”
*turns to Cabot, not Novak
"I'm not tipping all of you" vintage cragen 🤣
When he said children I felt that
"damnit this place is a pig sty"
"woah you're the one that said no janitors"
"oh thanks olivia, its my fault"
i mean she's kinda right and it is you're fault this line always got me 😂
what episode is this from?
@@frylkhxn_13 i think its countdown
"The moment she became the favorite child... That's my little girl" 🥺💖 don't make cryyy
Him having an attitude with Elliott is always hilarious
He was mom too with all of 'em waiting for him in the bathroom like "Damn, can I a get a break?"
for real😭
The father-son angry staring contest got me. 😭😭😭 1:23
I wonder who was more stubborn.
@@detmstr341 Probably Elliot 😂
Cragen: I don't have a favourite child in the squad. I love Olivia and all the Not Olivia's equally
I love this! I keep saying that Liv is now pretty much their mommy, raising all of these feral children. Finn is the older and more mature child that tries to help out but can still be naughty sometimes.
I love it when Mariska does her "smug AF" face at 0:14. She looks so beautiful and gorgeous.
How Elliot looked when cragen grabbed his arm 🤣
I miss the days when the golden kids were also the trouble some two for an exhausted dad tired of putting up with their crap. Definitely want to see more moments with Ayanna as 3.0 Cragen.
2:38 « you’re gonna leave without seeing Elliott?? »
_He’s still on blondes… be back in 15 years_
😂👌
You are a literal BLESSING. I LOVE THESE VIDEOS SO MUCH
Thanks ☺
“Beck. Time to Go. I’m not adopting you” 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ahhhhh. This is gold. Pure gold.
And please always use this music with these. It adds to the humor. 🤣
I still hope you do one for Munch and with Liv in the Cragen role.
I might do Liv's karma soon. Just bear with me cuz im working around classes.
@@mckayleem3098 I’m patient. I understand.
thank god i’m not the only one of the opinion that the wii music’s use is a must lmao
Haha this music actually makes it even funnier
Dean Winters retiring always stuck with me. I miss these powerful moments that were all over the early years of this show. Cragen was the man.
This is so accurate! Thanks for making this. You should make a part two. Captain Cragen was the ultimate father figure to everyone on the squad.
“Trio of terror” is too damn accurate😂😂
I loved the previously rare sighting of feral alex and Cragens that's my girl.
McKaylee, PLEASE don't stop making these as there so much FUN! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!
Season 1 was a different breed
0:33 It was at this moment that Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson knew they fucked up.
I wish Cragen was my daddy. And yes, I'm calling a therapist right now...
1:33 They won't leave him alone even in the bathroom😂
I loved having Cragen on SVU ^^
rip Richard Belzer 😢
Munch does give off middle child energy. I know some would say uncle but nah. That’s a middle child there.
Bonnie&Clyde and Frick&Frack are the best names for those two pairs. Love this video!
0:19 and I love him for it!!! Awesome vid as always ;)
Cragen: “Children!” 😂 1:14
Omg that scene was awesome
Munch holding the donut and '*Judging you*' killed me. This show was my ENTIRE childhood. Miss these feels.
🚩🚩🚩He’s still on blondes, I’ll be back in 16 years 🤣🤣🤣
Should do a series of the SVU's Men in Black (Fin & Munch) Munch added a different vibe when Fin was under his wing.
They were my favorite duo!
him turning into Old Dad Cragen in later seasons and just barely managing to parent Amanda because that is his youngest daughter and frankly she can do no wrong, mostly because he is too tired to accuse her
🤣🤣🤣 this is by far my favorite thing in the world! The captions are perfect!!
Cranky Captain Cragen with coffee -- I treasure these moments!! Just wonderfully hilarious and the air bubbles take it to the next level!😂💣🔥👊
Cragen trying to get Elliot to go to his psych evals is so unintentionally funny
please i need more of this!! 🤩
You lied to my children 😂😂
*judging a doughnut*
Aren't these fabulous??
*judging you*
I love Munch. 😂❤️
You are GENIUS! Love these vids!
These are hilarious!!! I’ve watched them all now multiple times and laugh just as hard every time! (The escapé / no escapé one made me snort laugh 😂)
I love these videos 😂and I see the little EO 2021 shots you've put in 😂
I was never that into SVU but I'm so glad Cragen is getting love! I always liked him when I did watch
I'm giving props for the Mii music.
1.) why is this so accurate lol and 2.) it is rare we see Huang lmao
Florek would have been a good James Gordon in a Batman series
Bonnie & Clyde vs Frick & Frack sent me 😂😂
He sounds like a Half principle & a Half teacher for his Detectives
1:14 “CHILDREN!” *death stare of 3 adults*
cragen not so fast children Olivia and Elliot but we were so , so close …
i love to see one with liv being an overworked mother
Man can't even pee in peace without people waiting for him. 😂
I remember this one episode where Fin was like: "dads mad" to El and Liv. And then Cragen was all like: get your asses in here😂😂
The Best Moments of fin and munch please!
I'll take it under consideration ;)
Do more Cragen videos. Cragen was bad ass.
Yall remember when fin seen liv and el and said "dads mad" 😂😂😂
Olivia was so so so so so pretty in season 1. Her face is the reason why I started to watch the show 😂
Love these, thank you🤣
0:35 He liked to keep them humble.
YES these are the best 😂
"... fondly missing Mike Logan all the while."
Omg, this is so perfect, i am crying😂😂😂
He always looks like a concerned turtle
Y'all should watch him on that old show smart guy. He played the crazy and funny coach Gerber. Y'all need to watch him in that one. He's so funny and so different from his role on SVU.
I'm surprised no one talks about that because I think of that role all the time.
@@justathoughtmyfriend1403 interestingly I knew him first as Coach Gerber before Captain Cragen
Cragen is way too tired to deal with this shit. He needs some coffee mixed with a couple shots of whiskey or a ten year long nap-
After Cragen left the show died. This is gold😅😂
This was great. You should have made it longer so you can add two lines.

The opener is solid.

love Cragen... 💜
I have got a shit eating grin on my face watching this. The early seasons were epic
It’s getting pretty epic again, hasn’t been for a while. At least Elliot’s show.
I’m currently on S15 so I wouldn’t know yet but I am definitely excited to watch Elliot’s show & to see lil Eli all grown up😭
