W.C. Fields is one of my favorite stars... I love his sarcasm, wit, physical comedy, and persona.
W.C. Fields was a comedy genius.
Fields was a genius and a groundbreaking performer. Although I have heard many of these stories before this is the first time I have seen photos of many of the people and places in his life. Thanks for posting this today.
" I don't drink water fish f.... in it" W.C. Fields.
Love WC! Back in the 60s and 70s, his films would be on LATE LATE night TV and my cousin and I had an agreement to call each other no matter the hour so neither of us would risk missing him. On rainy days at school, they'd show his films in the auditorium at lunch time. That's where I saw "The Dentist." Lily Tomlin is also a comedic genius and I never heard till now that she lived in his house. I love it! Thanks for this production - greatly enjoyed and appreciated. Imma see if I can find "The Bank Dick" to watch tonight. 🤣🙏🏻💚
Great comedy Mr. Fields! Thank you for the memories!
I spent half my money on gambling, alcohol and wild women the other half I wasted
W.C. Fields was the best.
R.I.P.
I never thought Chaplin was funny. W C Fields used to have me in fits of laughter with his laid back style of delivery. So called comedians of today aren’t in the same league.
I agree about Charlie Chaplin. I first saw him in films in the late 1940's when I was in Grade School, and I thought he was tedious at best. His film 'The Great Dictator' was a fiasco, and his speaking voice was unpleasant. **And then there were the various people around him who said that he was not a nice person. That's not a great legacy.
However, most people from back then to the present times generally agree that WC Fields was a great comedian.
He once worked as a professional drowner in atlantic city. Several times a day he'd pretend to be drowning and be rescued by an accomplice. Hot dog vendors would sell to onlookers and pay Fields and accomplice part of the proceeds
Dear w.c. fields you are wonderful and great. We will love you forever. ♥️🎚️🙏🎚️🙏🎚️🙏🎚️🙏♥️
My favorite routine of his is " The Day I drank a glass of water"
Being born in 1947 I thought Fields was much funnier than Chaplin ever was.
Very different funnies.
Different comics yet both died on Christmas Day.
Different type of comedy, he’s more like a Laurel and Hardy slapstick actor…..
even as a small child, I never thought Chaplin was funny. Much like Jerry Lewis, when I was a little kid, he never made me laugh ever, the same with Tim Allen, I did not know that he was even categorized as a comedian for years, Carol Burnett never made me laugh… Robin Williams, not even a smile out of me.. Bill Cosby never made me laugh, neither did George Carlin, just not funny
so, who do I find funny? Rodney, of course, Jonathan Winters, Steve Allen, Johnny Carson, J Leno, Jackie Mason had me laughing so hard a couple times that I couldn’t breathe… Jerry Seinfeld, but only when he did stand up.. Sam Kinison often had me laughing so hard it was tough to breathe.. Burt Reynolds was not a comedian, but he still was a delight to watch on Johnny Carson.. Henny Youngman was funny with his one lines, Gracho, but none of the other marks brothers I found it to be very funny. Especially Harpo. He was just silly like Jerry
Lewis… Dean Martin was funny..
Of course WC Fields what is hilarious
Born the same year.....and I have never seen a Chaplin movie. Still like watching WC Fields and Laurel & Hardy though. From an era when comedy was actually funny.
A genius
a guy who could make you laugh for sure
and Juggler he was amazing.
Awesome!!!
"Dukenfield" takes a long "U."
T’aint a fit night out for man or beast
Did he die from vocal fry? I nearly did.
What about the shocking guest at the funeral?
Yeah....
It was his exwife
Compared to Fields , Chaplin is a mere amateur.
He didn't play a grumpy, hard drinking curmudgeon. That's who he was.
The great man
Here is a fact. W.C Fields and the one comedy actor he never liked... Charlie Chalpman, both died on Christmas Day. W.C. in 1946 and Charlie in 1977.
I've always liked W.C Fields and Buster Keaton much more than others in early comedy movies.
Thanks y’all and sweet Coolbeans
The Best!!
WC never said I’d rather be in Philadelphia, quite the contrary.
it was rumored that he was going to have the words, “I’d rather be here than in Philadelphia” on his head stone, partly because of the cold reception he had with Philadelphia audiences in the beginning of his career..
Oh yes i was in love with a beautiful blond drove me to drink one thing i am indented to her for
Reading the bible and was asked " what for " ? WC Fields replied : " looking for loopholes "! ' nuff said ....A true ,true original artisan .
Funniest man that ever lived.
Died Xmas day
Years later, Fields's rival Charlie Chaplain also died on Xmas day, upstaging Fields one more time.
Just a small correction: Most people called him Bill.
Fields was loaded....
He had lots of money too. 🐸🐸🐸
His estate was over 4 million dollars.
One of the most comical. Would love WC at the rear row of a church crackin up!
why he didn’t like water “ I accidentally took a drink of water and nearly drowned! WCF
Also….Water, yuck ! Fish f**k in it
Love W.C Fields more than Chaplin but, maybe that isn't fair as W.C. was a 'speaker' while Charlie was silent.
You are correct. Apples and oranges. Chaplin later spoke in dramatic roles but not for comedy
That’s horrible that a little baby died in the fountain 😞
I agree-much funnier than Chaplin
He definitely had the funny bone.
Started out as a juggler and acrobat ...
All things considered. I doubt he would choose Philadelphia today.
It took 2 years to cremate him?
Big cheief have knew sqal she had been unwraped yet
And the mystery guest waaas.....?
I could not watch this-- horrible narration. Probably didn't do one bit of honest research. Guess I won't know..
"insouciant" is the word for that voice. I wanted to slap the snot outta him ... WC would have too.
Chaplin era un tragicómico,no puedes comparar su estilo ,
I had my suspicions about Lily Tomlin being a lesbian and this video proved it.
What’d I miss?😳😳😃😃
Gaydar workin’ overtime?
Well, Lily Tomlin has been married to Jane Wager for 10 years, so I don't know why you were bothering with suspicions.
Sorry, Wagner.
@@donnahighley2940 You were privy to knowing this, but I wasn't. I quipped the above to highlight a succinct point: one CAN proverbially tell a book by its cover.
You left out the fact that we was the worlds #1 gogglier.
