There was an old saying about someone who was naive, ignorant, or stupid. "That boy don't know the difference between shit & Shinola", Shinola being a brand of shoe polish. That's what Navin's adopted father was referring to.
Navin
@@davidwoolbright3675 I stand corrected. Thanks.
She doesn't know shit from shinola.
"Honey, can't you see I'm drinking?" - One of the most underrated lines in film history
Great, but I still love best: "You mean I'm going to stay this color?"
splendid reaction and choice of flick.
I reckon Steve Martin's pinnacle of silly films is The Man with Two Brains. I hope this hits the list of our esteemed streamer.
Isn’t that Merv Griffin lurking in the shadows?
Definitely yes! One of his more underrated films, also Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
Dr. Hfuhruhurr
I think Martin’s silliness peaked with All of Me. It was hilarious. Definitely worth a watch. As is everything he made before that.
A classic farce. Other really great Martin films that are under watched are "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", "Roxanne", "Planes, Trains and automobiles".
3:14 "I can relate. If I found this family, I would be straight in there."
I mean they _do_ look quite loving and supportive, don't they?
Try: "Trains, Planes and Automobiles." A Steve Martin + John Candy buddy film. You will love it!
And it's November, a good time for a Thanks Giving movie, although Thanks Giving is only a USA holiday I believe.
Bromantic comedy
That's Plane's, trains and automobiles.
@@chiefsteps-in-poo8447 correct. thjatnks.
@@lawrenceallen8096
Please forgive my ignorance, I'm not from this new generation. I'm generation X. What does thjatnks mean?
Steve Matin is also AMAZING in Little Shop of Horrors.
If you say so, dentists that love pain are scary. 😂
@@toupac3195 Not to Bill Murray...
I love Steve Matin, the French version of Steve Martin
Steve Martin gives one of the greatest physical comedy performances ever in All of Me from 1984.😂
I LOVE that one! Put Edwina backnbowl!
He should’ve won an award for that one. His whole body language would change with each step. And soooo funny.
Yes! That film and L.A. Story don't get enough credit IMO.
Everyone will say "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" with John Candy as an American Thanksgiving movie. You can check on youtube for when he hosted Saturday Night Live. Check out him singing "King Tut"
I think you would like Steve Martin's romantic-comedy, "Roxanne". It is based on the play "Cyrano de Bergerac".
Actually, there is a 1950 black-and-white adventure-comedy of the classic French dramatic poem Cyrano de Bergerac. It is interesting to compare the interpretations.
@@tomreichardt6044 The 1950 version stars José Ferrer, who is _outstanding_ in the roll. His composing of a poem during a sword fight is epic. It's probably the definitive filmed version of the play.
I have a particular fondness for all four of the Steve Martin movies directed by Carl Reiner - The Jerk, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, The Man with Two Brains and All of Me! I think you would like them all as well!
All four are fabulously funny. Great choices.
I don’t “see” how he could direct anymore considering what the OPTIGRAB did to his eyes
Planes,Trains and Automobiles. Steve Martin and John Candy. A John Hughes film.
I'm embarrassed to say this is my all-time favorite movie. I can't help it.
Well at least you didn't react to it like that guy in Black Hawk Down
Its a great movie. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Its one of my favorite comedies!
The bit with the dog being dragged along is one of the best sight gags ever. I love it when the animal performers are so good it feels like they actually get the joke. Carl Reiner, plaintiff #1 in the OptiGrab lawsuit, directed the film. His son Rob Reiner - a director in his own right - played the driver who gave Navin the ride to the end of the fence. Among other worthwhile Steve Martin films are "Pennies From Heaven", "Three Amigos" and "Parenthood".
BTW, I found out something interesting about Steve Martin and Rob Reiner. They were actually a pair of hotshot writers for the old "Smothers Brothers" show that was really popular back in the mid 1960s.
@@chrisbiebel6205 And there's lots of RUclips clips to show you why.
The bigger house is maybe the most funny gag in the movie. It is the exact house but just scaled up, the giant front door cracks me up.
Recall seeing this as a tike with my dad, who never, ever laughed. With the "bigger house" reveal he nearly cried he was laughing so hard.
@@gggooding That is so cool. My dad always took me to Peter Sellers, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor movies when I was a kid. My mom never liked those kinds of movies so at a young age I saw many that are now classics first run. My dad has a great booming laugh and he burst out seeing that giant door.
@@StanSwan Same, mostly. Pryor, Murphy, Martin, Sellers, Python all spoon fed to me by Pop when I didn't understand irony. Airplane scared the s*** outta me (I was 5 and it was terrifying). Only hug I recall from him (I'm cool now, no worries) was after Trek 2, as I was bawling my eyes out 'cause Spock. "Shit!", Pop said, "didn't think they'd kill him. It'll be okay. They'll make another movie and they need Spock."
He wasn't right about most things but he was right about that.
@@StanSwan all hail Silver Streak! That crash...lordy.
@@gggooding My parents took me to see Jaws when I was 5 or 6. I could not sleep that night. I told my mom I was afraid a shark would eat me. She told me sharks only live in the water. I swear I said "but what if there is a flood".
Steve Martin is charmed when it comes to movies. I can't think of a bad one he was in.
He has a tiny part in The Muppet Movie. Other than that, check out:
The Man With Two Brains, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, All Of Me, Three Amigos!, Little Shop of Horrors, Roxanne, "Planes, Trains & Automobiles", Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Parenthood, My Blue Heaven, L.A. Story, Bowfinger.
Oh I just thought of a Steve Martin movie I didn't care for... Mixed Nuts.
noooo. Mixed Nuts is good too. Liev Shreiber is great in that.
@@dannyjoe3343 Yeah and Madeline Kahn it just... didn't make me laugh.
Another good movie you didn't list is Sgt. Bilko.
@@Kiernan5 I never saw that one.
I wasn't a fan Mixed Nuts and LA Story and I thought Bowfinger would've been funnier considering you had him with Eddie Murphy....but it's definitely better than Mixed Nuts.
But all of the others listed are classics....Planes, Trains and Automobiles is still one of my favorites of Steve Martin as well as Sgt. Bilko, both Father of the Brides (which she's seen), Three Amigos and Parenthood. Glad to see you enjoyed The Jerk.... love this movie and loved the reaction.
In the TV network version of The Jerk, the dog is called "Stupid". Maybe he was named "Hey, Stupid", it's been so long I don't remember.
absolute classic great choice Dawn
Steve Martin is a legend. He was the first comic to do large stadium shows and this movie was the forerunner and inspiration for movies like “Dumb and Dumber”. He’s been in a lot of great films but you should watch some of his standup shows. They’re amazing!
In Dr. Strangelove, other than the reference to "precious bodily fluids", the best line is "You can't fight in here! This is The War Room!"
I've been waiting for someone to watch this one.
Thanks.
One of his best is "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" with Michael Caine, plus it's free on RUclips. A couple excellent ones with Steve Martin are "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles", and "Parenthood". I think that Parenthood is an underrated gem.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is great on many fronts: the script is full of fun twists, the cast clearly enjoyed their roles, and visually the settings are a feast for the eyes. Darn Near Flawless!
'The Lonely Guy' is an overlooked absolute jem.
What brought me here was the scene where they lose everything and Bernedete Peters says. " it's not the money I miss, IT'S THE STUFF !". This is a classic movie !!!
"He doesn't know shit from Shinola." is an old saying that means someone is an idiot. Shinola was a brand of shoe polish.
Glad ypu liked the movie. Love hearing you laugh. Another Steve Martin movie...The Three Amigos is one of my favorites.
@eddEl Wapo, what's a plethora?
I see that others have listed Steve Martin's popular movies so no need for me to repeat except for one. With our Thanksgiving holiday coming up the one Thanksgiving themed movie with Steve Martin' is Planes, Trains and Automobiles. It really puts you in the holiday spirit and such an awesome movie. 🍿
You've been watching some great ones and I'm glad to see your reactions. Keep up the good work. 👍 💕
If you haven't seen it yet, Planes, Trains and Automobiles is absolutely brilliant. It has Steve Martin and John Candy. It's also popular this time of year is the USA because of Thanksgiving.
If you liked Steve Martin in The Jerk, you'l love him in these "Man with Two Brains", "Dead Man Don't Wear Plaid", "The Lonely Guy", "All of Me" "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" "L.A Story" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"
Not a loser in the bunch. Every one a great movie.
The cross-eyed man who sued Navin was the director of the movie.
This was my favorite movie when I was growing up. "I'm okay. I was protected by the bill of my Engineer Fred cap", minus the Engineer Fred part, is something I still say to this day.
As an American I loved the way you pronounced "Jerk", it is so much softer. Try not to worry too much, your voice is delightful, like butter.
To be fair, "Doctor Strangelove" is from a different time. You didn't grow up in the Cold War era when we thought WWIII could start any time. Stranglove was just a parody of how we felt and the absurdity of nuclear war. As far as Steve Martin - you would like "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid", "Roxanne" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels".
Wow!!!
He really hates these cans!!!
Steve Martin is a legend!!!!love his work!!! A Fun film and a great reaction 💗💗 is all we need today 😇🙌🏻 hugs lysm Queen Dawn Marie 🌹stay unique!!!!
Back in the day, before convenience store type of gas stations, gas station bathrooms were located outside of the gas station. Owners would keep their bathrooms locked to keep out the homeless people. You had to ask for a key to go to the bathroom. Many times the key would get stolen or the patron would forget to return it and this meant the owner had to incur cost to change the lock. Many owners went to great extremes to prevent their key from getting stolen or lost. Using a heavy car rim as a key chain was the most common one that I saw. Others would simply keep your drivers license until you returned the key.
There was a popular expression in America that is seldom used anymore. It went, "You don't know shit from Shinola." Shinola was a very popular boot polish in the first half of the 20th century. The expression means you're ignorant....like you could step in shit, and not know if it was shoe polish or shit on your shoe.
Dr. Strangelove is a Stanley Kubrick film, and Kubrick loved "The Jerk." He invited Steve Martin over to his house where he discussed working together on a project that became "Eyes Wide Shut" many years later.
Steve Martin is also in " Planes , Trains and Automobiles " with John Candy . Did you notice what street they placed him on in the phone book ? Carl Reiner is the father of Rob Reiner . The son directed movies like : This Is Spinal Tap , The Princess Bride , Misery , When Harry Met Sally and other movies .
I agree with Dawn that Dr. Strange love is kind of funny but only in a very cynical sense. And given the type of leaders we've seen in the world, it feels a lot more like a documentary than it was intended to. So I can relate to not laughing at what is really a very depressing movie.
Strangelove is satire, so there is meant to be a strand of truth through it.
That movie was made about leaders of the time - I doubt they change much, but the US seems to reward people who are openly dishonest.
For all of us that got to watch this video from beginning to end isn't this one of the most adorable person in the whole world
The best part of this movie are the parts that were based on his stand up comedy ambum. Which everyone I knew in the 70s had.
Another great Steve Martin film is "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid," which is made by editing in a whole bunch off classic black and white films together to have him acting along with classic scenes, in a separate story. It's hilarious & fun. And, it's also directed by Karl Reiner.
I love that when you were talking about Steve Martin movies then mentioned John wick in the same breath. It reminded me of one of my favorite movies. Parenthood. Has both Steve Martin and Keanu Reeves. It is one of the most charming heartfelt films. It will make you laugh and cry. Highly recommend Parenthood. Star studded.
I haven't seen any of the John Wick movies, but did he really kill someone with a pencil? In one of Thomas Perry's Jane Whitefield books,, "Dance for the Dead (1996), a judge tells Jane, "I understand you are one of those people who could kill me with a pencil." Jane replies, "If i were, I wouldn't need the pencil." This match seems too specific to be a coincidence. Your thoughts?
Fun fact, Bernadette Peters was actually playing the Cornet and Steve Martin was playing the Ukulele. They're both musicians.
Dang, I never realized Steve Martin was the guy who was juggling the kittens! He has so many hidden talents.
We use to watch this movie once a year back in the '80s when it was aired on one of the three big networks. This one and Stir Crazy with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, both of these were like a family tradition to see them once a year when they were shown on TV. I think Stir Crazy is a much funnier film. The Jerk has a lot of hit and miss humor, but the beginning was very funny.
Another Pryor and Wilder film that is really good is "Silver Streak".
@@randallshuck2976 There's at least one more, See No Evil, Hear no Evil. Oh, I just checked, they also did another one called Another You.
@@randallshuck2976 Silver Streak is mostly Gene, with a delightful dash of Pryor, but a classic nonetheless.
21:52 Dawn Marie: "you can't accept that as identification, surely"....Bank worker: "No I can't, and don't call me Shirley!" (movie callback). Thanks for reviewing The Jerk, keep them coming.
One of the subtlest jokes is right at the end. When he says they built a bigger house.. he means literally, look at the size of the front door.
Steve Martin has been in the game for decades and in my opinion has always been criminally underrated.
You couldn’t go wrong doing an entire Steve Martin marathon. Roxanne. The Man with two Brains. Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid. All of Me. And that’s just scratching the surface.
Dawn Marie
Steve Martin aka Navin is also an accomplished musician. He plays mostly banjos too.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is my favorite Steve Martin movie. It and Roxanne (a retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac) are both great movies to watch.
Oh yes, Roxanne is really good. And dirty Rotten scoundrels is great
Steve has made a lot of funny movies. The Three Amigos, Parenthood, Roxanne, Housesitter, and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles are among the best.
"Roxanne", "Bowfinger", "L.A Story" and absolutely the best one "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid"
I love Steve Martin. I bought all of his albums. I saw him live in concert and have seen most of his movies. This was his first film. It is a riot. Just wanted to make sure that you realized that Steve Martin was also the guy doing the cat juggling.
This is one of my favorite movies!! More Steve Martin in this vain of comedy are Dirty Rotten scoundrels, and The Man With Two Brains. So funny
Bernadette Peters (Marie) is a villain in "Annie" (1982), and voiced Rita the cat on Animaniacs.
Steve Martin has "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles", and it's a Thanksgiving movie. "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (1988), "Little Shop of Horrors"
You might not get "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid", since it parodies 1940s stuff.
Hi Dawn Marie, after seeing the fellow (Bill Macy) who developed and marketed " Opti-Grab " for Mavin Johnson. I have remembered that he was in another excellent movie called " The Late Show " (1977). Haven't seen it in yearsbut it's loveable.
I remember when this came out. Too this day I still quote "He hates these cans!".
About the restroom key attached to the metal wheel from a car: Back in the days of full service gas stations in America, for some reason that was never clear to me, some people would ask for then steal the restroom keys. As a way to try and prevent this, stations would attach the key to a larger object like a 12" to 16" piece of wood (plastic, metal, or anything substantial of any reasonable size were also used).
I did also see a station that used stuffed plush animal toys. The realized they were losing even more keys because people were more interested in stealing the toys than the keys. Yeah, this idea didn't last long. I do have to say though that I believe this movie is the only time I ever saw the use of a vehicle wheel of any kind 🤔.
"All of Me" is my personal favorite of his films, but other must-see films of his are "Roxanne", and "Plane, Trains, and Automobiles".
So glad you had a good laugh with this classic comedy. And now, because you asked...
Steve Martin REACTS:
1979 - The Jerk
1987 - Roxanne
1987 - Planes, Trains and Automobiles
1999 - Bowfinger
There are other good movies with SM, but I'm certain you will absolutely enjoy all the above.
"Show her your special purpose then" haha. This movie was on network tv a lot when I was a kid. But it was edited (the dog's name was Stupid). It's so dumb but I'm really attached to it. Partly because before that I heard his stand-up on records, first stand-up I ever heard. He was a "wild and crazy guy" back then!
"The Grand Canyon" was excellent, though more dramatic than comedic, and Steve's role in it was a supporting one. Still, it deserves more attention .
23:35 - Hey! The butler Hobart was played by Maurice Evans...Dr. Zaius from The Planet of the Apes!
Steve Martin is a genius. Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, Pennies From Heaven, All of Me, The Man With Two Brains are all great examples of his creativity. Honorable mentions go to Roxanne and LA Story. This film is based on some of Steve's stand-up material. He wrote a memoir, Born Standing Up, which I can enthusiastically recommend.
gas station attendants used to wear uniforms and every car got their oil checked, windshield washer fluid checked tire pressure and windows washed free of charge
Several decades ago, petrol/gas station attendants wore uniforms. This was common back in the 40's, 50's and 60's but started to phase out by the 70's.
One Of Steve Martin's Best Performances, Cool Reaction As Always Dawn, Take Care Sweetie 🥰🥰🤩🤩❤️❤️
Gotta watch Steve Martin in 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles' also starring John Candy. It is quite funny, and the perfect time of year to watch as the holidays are coming up.
Out of all the react channels I watch.... the jerk has never been reacted to. Well played. 😁 instant subscribe.
The Shinola bit comes from an old saying, "You don't know shit from Shinola" (Shinola is a type of shoe polish here in the States). It basically means "You're ignorant". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinola There are so many quotable lines in this movie. Right around this time Steve Martin was actually married to Bernadette Peters (Marie in this movie). Carl Reiner and Steve Martin made several movies together.
I remember the first time I saw my name in the phone book. I felt the same way. I mean I didn’t get as excited and ridiculous as Navin, but I definitely had the “I’m somebody!” state of mind.
I delivered the Yellow Pages to businesses in the mid-80's for extra cash. Just about every other business somebody would grab the stack of phone books and go running and skipping around yelling, "The new phone book's here! I'm somebody!"
I forgot Rollo from Sanford and Son was one of Navin’s brothers. 😆
Steve Martin started his career as a stand-up comic. Some of his stage routines, such as Cat Juggling, made it into the film. He also had a big hit with his song King Tut, which I saw the first time on SNL.
He performed in melodramas at Knott's Berry Farm before that.
"Airplane 2" is basically a retread of the first film. Watch it only if you have some spare time IMHO.
“Planes trains and automobiles” is a Must - in case you haven’t seen it.
I love the jerk!
Awesome movie choice! My brother and I still reference this movie, so many quotable lines! One of my all time favorites and a much better choice than Dr Strangelove.
You are the first reactor I've seen do The Jerk, so you are therefore the best reactor on the internet.
Don't miss Steve at his peak silliness in The Man With Two Brains (1983) - his character's name is Dr. Hfuhruhurr and he falls for someone named Anne Uumellmahaye!
Steve Martin movies. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and Planes Trains and Automobiles... two of the funniest comedies out there!
A part of me died when you said you’ve never had a Twinkie, it’s been my favorite snack since elementary school.
That guy Navin regretted kicking was "Iron-Balls McGinty". 😄
Dawn Marie, Steve Martin Comedy "Plains, Trains, and Automobiles" (1987)!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Roxanne, Parenthood, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Man with Two Brains and My Blue Heaven are all recommended!
One of my favorite Steve Martin movies. Saw it at the theater when it first came out. Just silly fun to watch. Glad you enjoyed it too.
I love this movie, and for me it’s the pinnacle of Steve Martin’s comedy. I really rank it personally above Animal House and Caddyshack for my tastes. So glad Dawn’s reacting to it, because I would love to see it get some more exposure.
His girlfriend Marie " Bernadette Peters" was at one time his real wife.She in her own right is a Broadway Legend,starred in many Plays and Musicals.
Nooo. They weren't married. They had a romantic relationship for 4 years but never married.
Thank you for finally watching The Jerk. It's one of my favorite comedies.
24:40 -- Steve Martin plays the cat juggler, Pigeye Johnson. Steve was/is an accomplished juggler.
"Planes, Trains & Automobiles" is my fav. I also love "The Man With Two Brains".
Steve Martin? Ohhhh You gotta watch Planes Trains and Automobiles.. that might be my favorite of his movies! He's also pretty good in Father of the Bride
"You mean I'm gonna stay this color?" 🤣
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!!!
This is one of his funniest movies. Plus, it is a Thanksgiving holiday movie!
Three Amigos!, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and Little Shop Of Horrors.
Also, did you notice the house in the end really was bigger? It was the same only scaled up. It took me over 10 years after I first saw the film to catch that joke.
There's an old saying that when someone doesn't know anything, you say he "doesn't know shit from Shinola". Shinola was a brand of shoe polish. So Navin's dad was literally showing him the difference between shit and Shinola.
Glad you enjoyed The Jairk!
Shinola in shoe polish- The father was referring to the expression, “He doesn’t know shit from Shinola!”
A great movie! Can't wait to watch this one!
