The biggest tragedy in this movie is that Marge never got to see how funny looking he was 'cus he was most of the way down a woodchipper by the time she met up with him.
The whole "funny looking" thing is so funny because it seems like such an unhelpful description and yet you know when they see him it will be like: this guy.
My grandma was from Bemidji, MN, and she had a super strong accent. She was so perturbed when this movie came out. She kept telling us "Oooooo goodness. We dooooo NAHT sowned inytheen at AHL like thayat".😄
Then, they set season two in Bemidji. LOL I'm Canadian, have relatives towards Point Pellee. By Geez eh, certain wey dat people around de great leks talk yknow. If I had a Daller to buy the fashuns, I'd be as rich as the sasuge king of Chicaaago
The way Marge’s eyes get a little bigger when the girl says he wasn’t circumcised and then says “was he funny looking apart from that?” cracks me up every time!!
In an ordinary film, the hookers are either some troubled junkies/alcoholics or defensive smart-asses who give cryptic answers to the police. Fargo isn't an ordinary movie. I LOVE that these hookers act like a couple of bubbly high school cheerleaders who casually talk about their complicity in illegal activity to a cop, all with a big, friendly Minnesota smile. 😂😂😂
Years, years, years ago when I tried to describe Steve Buscemi to friends as a rising actor I'd draw a profile sketch of him. Sloping forehead, prominently sticking out nose, bug eyed, receding chin, goatee. It looked NOTHING like him but they all suddenly realized who I was talking about.
I don't know how this scene came together but my goodness - the story tellers, the writers, whoever got these three characters together, the character actors....Pure genious! Not to mention how good the rest of the movie is. I'm always re-watching this scene. Boy did we have it good in the 90's!
I think the entire state of Minnesota had a meeting after this movie: "Ok guys we have gotta stop talking like that don't cha know, everyone is laughing at us". Sometimes I hear a little bit of the so called Minnesota nice but its far less pronounced than this movie would have us believe.
I moved up here from Atlanta two years ago. Every once in a while, I'll talk to a Minnesotan who literally sounds just like this. And my coworkers say yah, sure, and you bet constantly. It's adorable.
@@RC_928 exactly I live in Minneapolis and never heard anyone sound like that most black people here sound like there from Chicago since most are but we just had the normal northern accent here
The reason they say JAA in Minnesota is that a large number of Germans, Swedes and Norwegians settled there a long time ago (there were some Danes too, but not a lot of them). In all of these countries ja is the word for yes, although it's pronounced differently from country to country.
Most Finns went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It's the only place in the US with a lot of Finns like 25-50% of people there are Finnish. Of course theres also only like 50k people there too.

The funny and ironic thing about this scene is, both of those chicks are also funny looking as hell, too! Especially the one on the left! I can only imagine how funny looking their kids would look, if one of them got pregnant by the funny looking guy. 😂
Was in college. Saw this movie and they sounded just like my professor. Next day I ask her “are you from Minnesota?” “No Wisconsin but it’s like a 1/2 hour away.”
I don't understand why they insist they don't talk like that. My brother was in the navy and he was friendly with some guys from Minnesota, and they did act like this!
Larissa Kokernot, the actress playing the prostitute on the left, also acted as an assistant dialect coach for the film. I also saw this in the theater with an audience who mostly didn't get it. At "Was he funny looking apart from that?" I laughed so hard that I thought the shocked and uncomfortable moviegoers around me were going to demand that I be ejected from the theater.
Yeah, I also saw this in the cinema and was pretty much the only one laughing. People didn't understand it was a pitch black comedy. Actually (even more bizarrely) it was the same with Lebowski. I guess it takes some people a while to catch on. That's ok, everyone caught on in the end!
"Fargo" and "Drop Dead Goregous" are hilarious to me. I think a lot of people don't like them because they're not familiar with the Minnesota accent and traditions (Lutheran Sisterhood Gun Club in "Drop Dead Gorgeous" is funnier than Hell). Both movies are very dark comedies, while maintaining a subtlety about them that are unappreciated by some people.
Upper Michigan--"Da Yoopers"--talk just like that. "Yah, eh." Nothing but snow 9 months per year. Minnesota and Canada radio and TV. Hunting, fishing, and curling. Like intergalactic aliens. And they're all funny lookin'.

For real though 😅😅😊😊
In a general kind of way
True, but all the parts were there.
SHE SAW HIS FOOT IN THE WHITE SOCK
I'm sure his face was eventually in the newspaper
The whole "funny looking" thing is so funny because it seems like such an unhelpful description and yet you know when they see him it will be like: this guy.
I heard that a lot when I lived in Minnesota
You betcha
chris4072511 Well ya know, he was funny lookin! GO BEARS
wasn't possible in the end
you got that right
When the girl says, "Go Bears"... check out the snarky look she gets from her friend. Kills me every time. LOL!
Funny thing is that's my high school their talking about
Ha! Never noticed that, thanks
Lorne Malvo also says "Go Bears" while masquerading as a minister in the Duluth police station.
@@paulorocky Those Fargo Writers could make a dictionary with Coen missed liens
Haha never noticed that. Have watched this movie so many time
The description of Buscemi as "funny-looking" is actually pretty accurate!
I'm glad you could confirm that ,I'm sure the oscar winning brothers Joel and Ethan cohens meticulous eye for detail missed that
including non-circumcised body parts?
Yah!!
Lol you guys are making fun of someone’s son
How could she not remember his messed up teeth???
The delivery of "was he funny-lookin' apart from that?" was absolutely fantastic. Kills me.
My grandma was from Bemidji, MN, and she had a super strong accent. She was so perturbed when this movie came out. She kept telling us "Oooooo goodness. We dooooo NAHT sowned inytheen at AHL like thayat".😄

"Like a subconscious type of thing." ... "Ya, that can happen."
Yaaaaaaaahh
The way Marge’s eyes get a little bigger when the girl says he wasn’t circumcised and then says “was he funny looking apart from that?” cracks me up every time!!
I lose it every time I see that girl say "Go Bears" lol
lmao hahaa
me too cus im from white bear lake!
oh ya?
The best part is the look from her friend lol
It's so sweet

Minnesota Nice
Oh you betcha yaaa
This head bobbing in unison gets me every time
Yaaa
Hands down funniest scene
Hilarious.
Yep.
This scene rocks. Hell, the whole movie rules. I love Fargo
Ja, gosh darn it!
“It’s like a subconscious type of thing” coupled with the hand gesture slays me every time.
There's an audition clip where she's saying it like it's kind of funny, but here she delivers it completely serious. Much better that way.
I give Steve Buscemi a lot of credit for being okay with this line repeated over and over in the movie 😂
Or steve park being okay with racial mockery
Yeah, I always feel a little bad for actors when they get mocked a lot like that. Like Bobby Baccalieri in The Sopranos.
0:36 the delivery of that "so" is fantastic
go bears
daniel_plainview milkshake
when Marge says "oookay" after the "Go Bears!" is the single funniest scene in the movie for me
She killed it in this movie.
“Go Bears” [smile] is my favorite part in the movie
This was Melissa Peterman's only film credit before she played Barbara Jean on "Reba."
This scene was is cinematic gold
This movie is a masterpiece. :) Love it. 90s were the best.
Joe Pesci: Funny How?!!
Fargo folks: In a general kind of way
"He was kind of funny looking,": the perfect epitaph on Steve Buscemi's future gravestone.
Years, years, years ago when I tried to describe Steve Buscemi to friends as a rising actor I'd draw a profile sketch of him. Sloping forehead, prominently sticking out nose, bug eyed, receding chin, goatee. It looked NOTHING like him but they all suddenly realized who I was talking about.
That f’in piece of shit, Tony Soprano’s cousin……I cant even say his name.
why is every scene in this movie so great
Those two are so perfectly late 80s Minnesota.
I went to high school in the Minneapolis burbs in the mid-80s and can confirm this statement.
Hell not too long ago they still look like this
@@piggy310yeah girls in the twin city suburbs still looked like this until around like 2005 lol
"He wasn't circumcised."
Gaear, about a week later:
"He is now."
That's wrong dude😆😆just wrong
As someone who lived in Milwaukee, my dad had a kick out of this movie.
what a great scene that's only a minute long but tells you so much anecdotally about these 3 characters. go bears.
Never gets old 😂
I don't know how this scene came together but my goodness - the story tellers, the writers, whoever got these three characters together, the character actors....Pure genious! Not to mention how good the rest of the movie is. I'm always re-watching this scene. Boy did we have it good in the 90's!
It's like a subconscious type of thing.
I thought they would have made her say “unconscious” to portray her as even more of a half wit.
Yeah that can happen
you mean that those are just basically hookers and the whole thing is dominated by the simple female obsession with sex?
The Marlboro Man 😂😭😂😭

Lived in the Twin Cities, didn’t really hear it much, but once you got out of the cities.

I LOVE THESE TWO
I’m from Chaska...so proud🤦🏼♂️
genius !!!!

+Infinite Sky not sure about Finnish, but I know it's not a Germanic language like the other Scandinavian languages.

Aaron Verico1 Picture a real-life Wishnik Troll, and you’d have the offspring of the girl on the left and the funny-looking guy!
They’re not as funny looking as Steve, let’s be real. They’re just very Minnesota.
what a dope scene..
Is there a more perfectly hilarious minute in all of movie history? I’m not sure …
The "I wanna fck you in the a$$" scene from "Whоrе" is competing for the title. You can check it, it's here on youtube.
Was in college. Saw this movie and they sounded just like my professor.
Next day I ask her “are you from Minnesota?”
“No Wisconsin but it’s like a 1/2 hour away.”
I've got relatives in the same general part of Wisconsin, and they really talk like that. Most common phrase: "DoanChaKnow?
I don't understand why they insist they don't talk like that. My brother was in the navy and he was friendly with some guys from Minnesota, and they did act like this!

Those two are so funny
I can't stop laughing with marges face expressions in this scene 😂
i love how the girl on the right just keeps nodding and with the goofy smile its funny asf
The bears are going crazy out there at the lake.
Priceless :)
timeobserver2013: You are quite right. If I ever feel a bit down in the mouth - not so very often, I watch this film. As you say: Priceless :-)
Damnit Barbara Jean
Love this scene
This is the most accent thick part of the movie
Everyone in this scene is so adorable.
these girls taught Frances McDormant to speak like that
such a good god damn fucking movie
I watched Fargo full movie here twitter.com/6b17e7860347ed879/status/824452700960026624
No, it's a piece of shit. All those tropes diguised as satire or whatever it's trying to be.
"more than most people even"
yea this was absolutely the best way to describe to steve buscemi
Isn't everyone in this movie kind of funny looking 😂
Well, he's more than most people, really
Oh ja you betcha..
Either these are really two ditzy broads or they are terrific actresses.
Melissa Peterman is a Minnesota native
Marge : was he funny looking apart from that?
Companion#1: he looked alot like a Praying Mantis.
Marge: That's a good lead-Yaaa!
You darn tootin!
I dated a woman that looks the blonde, Melissa Peterman. We’re still in touch. Go Bears!🐻
Yah!
Both actresses are from Minnesota, and so is Francis McDormand
Oh yaaa?? Yaaaaaa!!!
'He wasn't circumcised'. Uhm, okay.
ha ha that made me laugh next to the TV part of the movie XD LOL
One of the best scenes of one of the best movies ever!
LeSuer home of the Jolly Green Giant Yah you betcha
Best part
Yeah she dropped
"OOOOOOO Yarrr?"
LOL
Oh, Barbara jean....
Yaaaaaaaaaa!
I went to college in Minnesota. Being from IL, this is how I’d explain someone from Minnesota hahaha
WE ARE NOT LIKE THAT
YEAH YEAH YEAH
U BETCHA YEAH.
My sister went to Normandale college. It's a pretty good community college and you can get 2 years of generals done for around $6,000 per year.
oh yaah?
Being from Minnesota they exaggerated the accent so hard oh yeah yeahhhh but it’s funny though
No wonder Chaska is referred to as Trashka.
My God!! :D :D :D
😂😂😂 best scene
The girl on the right has aged pretty well today.
Onmysheet
you're god damn right she aged good, I was shocked when I seen a more recent pic of her
What's her name?
she's bonnie from baby daddy.
Ooh, rack
oh yeahhh
Funny looking? Funny how?
Like a clown here to amuse you?
get your fuckin' shinebox
HAHAHAHAHA awesome reference
Tommy.. you got it all wrong
...more than most people, even.
Go bears, lol
I love the "WTF?" smile that Hooker #1 gives her.
i grew up a few blocks from the 'Lakeside Club'. They're tearing it down to make a multi-family dwelling. Such a shame.
You betcha ya..
This movie can be anything but comedy.
oh yeah betcha yaaa...
Yeaa....
Oh yea!
