I’ve always been the exact same way! I remember as a very young person watching this movie and after watching that scene, rolling around on the floor, dying in laughter, and it still hits me that hard today. His delivery was just hilarious. 😂

NOT BLACK OR WHITE YOU ARE GREEN. ruclips.net/video/IDSv6VWB6VE/видео.html&ab_channel=Michael This could be called insane the way the conversation goes as far as what you can say in the military. but its POWERFUL.
"Hey Haulk, eat a bag of shit! You suck!" Hahahahaha I love that in this movie a man fighting a war actually took time to write and send in that letter, lol
"The other 1,100 calls say that the man can't do comedy to save his dick...! That's a direct quote, sir." People talk about Bruno Kirby as a foil to Robin Williams, but Forest Whitaker has his own genius knack for comedic timing.
Imagine if haulk was captured by the NVA or VC. They said he won't be killed if he make them laugh... Moments later haulk was shot on the foot. One of the VC said "You joke suck little GI, no one like polka, at least the last GI we captured was funny that we let him live" then haulk ask "who was it?" and NVA said "radio man name Adrian cronauer" and Haulk realize that the General and other soldier's was right "Cronauer was funny and he's not"
""Captain Hauk sucks the sweat off a dead man's balls!" I have no idea what that means sir, but that seems very negative to me!" is my personal favorite line of his.
I LOVE that letter / call reading scene. The sheer nastiness of the insults leveled at Hauk, plus the enthusiasm and apparent obliviousness Garlic and Dreiwitz put into reading them, plus General Taylor's sarcastic observations, "I think the troops are trying to tell us something, fellas". Absolute comedy gold.
People (rightfully) applaud Robin Williams’ performance, but I think just as much praise should be given to Bruno Kirby, who played Steven Haulk so effectively that one could very easily forget he was simply acting. The sheer conviction with how he says “sir, in my heart I know I’m funny” is such an exemplary demonstration of how the audience can dislike but also pity the Lieutenant.
Can't agree more, Kirby is brilliant at not being funny! Pure acting talent to be pretend being that bad. I do wonder how he kept a straight face while saying in his heart he knew he was funny.
To which the General merely says _"thank you, Lieutenant!"_ and -- against military custom -- salutes first. It's no doubt his way of saying _"shut up, kid, and get the f out of my office!"_ 😂
Watched this many years ago and missed one of the funniest lines written in a movie at 1:42. "It don't make a damn whether you play Polka or don't play Polka, its military politics. It's nothing personal the men just like him better than they do you"
General Taylor: Don't worry Hauk, in a few years you'll come to my ranch and I'll teach you how to be a cowboy so you and Mitch and Phil can bring in my herd. I'll be as happy as a puppy with two peters.
The general was such a sweet man . The villain guys took radio way too seriously. It's all about keeping the morale of the troops high with the hell they are in. The other 2 guys just didnt get it.
I was in South Korea when they changed the country music time slot from 0600. Before the week was over it was changed back. When you're in a deep sleep and start hearing country you knew it was time to get up and start your day. When they changed it just about everybody was late...
Psychological shit man, have to control the narrative in every way possible. Even if theres a hint of anti-war sentiment, you dont want the troops on the ground to get any ideas.
He just doesn't get it that it's not about him, they're in a war, men are coming all the way over there, far from home, and not necessarily by choice. If they need to hear someone to make them smile or laugh in order to ease their fear and tension, take their minds off the shitshow they're in, for even a few minutes, then thats what they need. Regardless of his personal beliefs the morale of the army is top priority.
@@BanthisyoutubeAbsolutely. When I heard Judy Collins sing Amazing Grace, for the first time. I’d never heard it before in the United States. It reminded me of a bigger idea.?
Dave Sampson I didn’t really despise him like sgt major, just anal about protocol. Bruno played him in s way that made him likeable. Like I said, I thought he held his own against Robin Williams. He made me laugh out loud.
He was excellent. A perfect foil on which Williams could bounce funnies. Just looked him up and was saddened and shocked to find he died in 2006 aged just 57.
You don’t know whether you’re shot, fucked, powder burned or snake bit!! Best line of the whole damn movie. I must admit I’ve stolen that a couple times over the years.
I don't mind a good Polka - and this one was funny when it had the visuals of the running men to go with it - but even I know that's not what you play to make a group of guys feel at home while they're serving overseas!
The whole conversation between Houk and The General is wildly overstated. The only time a general ever tries to explain something to a butterbar is when he's 'explaining' how stupid said butterbar is. In real life the whole discussion would go something like this: Houk walks in and salutes. The General returns the salute. Houk: 'You wanted to see me, sir?" The General: "Cronaur. Reinstate him." Houk: "Yes, sir." The General: "That's all." Houk, saluting, "Yes, sir." Houk turns and leaves.
The General was in charge of the radio station, so it was a more informal environment. The scene fit well with the relationship the General had with the men who worked there. Also, he wasn't a hard ass with his men. He was good natured which is why he tried to let Haulk down easy.
Lt. Weasel gets his ass handed to him on a platter. The General (Noble Willingham) is one of the best character actors ever. He was a hoot in "The Distinguished Gentleman", (1992).
I have to admit I felt sorry for Hauk in this scene. Sure, he may have been a dick, but he seemed genuinely hurt by what people said about him, and he probably does think he's actually funny. Yeah, he's a jerk, but he has feelings.
@@michaelconsuegra7316 Hauk was a man who didn’t have the luxury of saying anything positive the whole entire movie he only knew that Dickerson was jealous of Cronour and wanted Adrian out of the way it was just that they made a agreement with the general to suspend Adrian
I’ve been there. I once had of rear admiral. Ask me why I didn’t want to work on his program. Standing there in front of him I had visions of me on an ice breaker heading north on watch. When he asked that question, I simply closed my my eyes, clicked my heels, thought of England and said Admiral, I will be more than happy to join your project team. Actually, it turned out pretty well for me as I was able to accomplish the goals assigned to me and got a promotion out of the end but it wasn’t what I originally wanted to do but in the situation’s a request from the admiral is an order.
Hey buddy guess what? Us soldiers don't beat anyone's ass in our own unit for being disrespectful. Rare exceptions being when people are drunk off base or a guy fucked your wife or whatever. But fuck no. If you beat a guy up for just slamming a door yoire gonna lose rank and maybe goto jail
Are you for real? You sound like a former upstairs neighbor of mine that every time I closed my doors with any force at all, he took it personally! A real slam is when it shakes the walls.
the casting in the movie was awesome, Williams for obvious reasons. But Bruno Kirby, J.T. Walsh who was a natural villain, Noble Willingham, Forest Whitaker, even Robert Wuhl who is always good with those minor roles.
I have a family friend who fell into a job she had till Williams died, She had training in stenography and her job to was write down what was ACTUALLY SHOT, not necessarily in the script, but what was said. Most of Williams scenes in the movie just had the notation 'Adrian does....." her job was to make sure if they had to RESHOOT it, they could repeat it. She worked on Aladdin with him also....
"Sir, you heard from the men who don't like my humor! But what about the silent masses that do?" Ah yes, the one thing every wannabe comedian hopes for. A silent crowd.....
This movie did a pretty good job at criticizing the over-emphasis on discipline and lack of fun/morale boosting in the military. The US military would be stronger if there was more compassion and acceptance, while also focusing on strength, tactics, and unity. Instead it's about blindly following orders and doing exactly what your commanding officer says always or you will be punished like it's some middle-school gym class. It doesn't help.
I couldn't disagree more. Discipline within the ranks is paramount. Sure morale means a whole hell of a lot, but without discipline, you have no morale.
indyracingnut still need to have fun every now and again, just look at the marine corps, able to act as unofficial ambassadors while simultaneously engaging in drunken shenanigans and contributing to local population growth, for some people making jokes and telling wisecrackers is how they deal with the fear
I can't imagine a scenario where a BG would be talking with a 2LT about anything other telling to the LT to take out his trash from his office (and even THAT would be a job for someone of a higher rank). The LT would be getting this info from a Captain or Major at the highest
The hate Letters from the U.S army are straight up savage, this comment makes me die every time. “ captain haulk, sucks the sweat off a dead mans balls”😂😂😂😂
Lost in this brilliant scene is the reference to the alleged problems of the country at the time. Nothing the General has to say is historically accurate in terms of why it was all happening. The premise that the US was in Vietnam to defend against the north is simply not true.
strawdawgs78 “unfortunately for you lieutenant half the fucking US military myself included disagrees with you now reinstate the man before the sound of private first halik gets a nice ring to it, am I making myself clear?”
He doesn't know how to take a hint. His superior just insulted him and gave him an order and yet he still persists in maintaining his position. If you ever want your career to come to a standstill, do as the lieutenant does.
We see the same thing from people in Hollywood who say that there are “silent masses” who like what they’re doing, when they can’t stomach the fact that their performances are terrible.
"Good Morning Vietnam" is mostly historical fiction. Adrian Crounaur is a real guy who hosted a morning radio show on Armed Forces Radio in Saigon during the Vietnam War, but everything else in the movie is basically made up.
@@tyrannosaurusburke The names have been changed but the officer who gave Adrian grief for playing certain rock bands and singers that are banned by the military is real. Also, there was one incident where he escaped a cafe bombing. That was real.
Cronhauer himself self says, when asked about accuracy of the movie, literally says, "I was in Vietnam, I was in the air force, and I was a disc jockey, now was there anything else?"
I agree. The Lieutenant was not mean-spirited at all. He wasn't trying to hurt anyone. He was just a "by the book" army type. Also, he genuinely thought he was funny and talented, but he wasn't. The Sgt-Major was just EVIL! He tried to have Cronauer killed!

I have to give it to the Lt, he definitely held his own against the general. It takes alot for a Lt, to speak to a general like that.
I always believed that Lieutenant Haulk was the one that made that call prasing him himself.
No way a butter bar would speak to a Brigadier that way
If there were more generals like General Taylor during the Vietnam War, the US would have won.

This movie did a pretty good job at criticizing the over-emphasis on discipline and lack of fun/morale boosting in the military.
The US military would be stronger if there was more compassion and acceptance, while also focusing on strength, tactics, and unity.
Instead it's about blindly following orders and doing exactly what your commanding officer says always or you will be punished like it's some middle-school gym class. It doesn't help.

"Good Morning Vietnam" is mostly historical fiction. Adrian Crounaur is a real guy who hosted a morning radio show on Armed Forces Radio in Saigon during the Vietnam War, but everything else in the movie is basically made up.
@@tyrannosaurusburke The names have been changed but the officer who gave Adrian grief for playing certain rock bands and singers that are banned by the military is real. Also, there was one incident where he escaped a cafe bombing. That was real.
Cronhauer himself self says, when asked about accuracy of the movie, literally says, "I was in Vietnam, I was in the air force, and I was a disc jockey, now was there anything else?"
If you don't believe polka can be fun/funny, watch SCTV do it! John Candy, Eugene Levy
I have to say that I never hated the lieutenant in this movie I hated the sergeant major. The lieutenant was just kind of a dork
I agree. The Lieutenant was not mean-spirited at all. He wasn't trying to hurt anyone. He was just a "by the book" army type. Also, he genuinely thought he was funny and talented, but he wasn't. The Sgt-Major was just EVIL! He tried to have Cronauer killed!
I have hated Bruno Kirby ever since...
Volume was wicked low kinda ruined it for me
