Dude just gave the best 90 second monologue for the whole night without breaking a sweat or staring at a teleprompter.
His talent and his borderline 1930s transatlantic accent just screams Oscar Host.
His Burt Lancaster was pretty good, too.
Nailed it. So great! 😆
I think most of it was him quoting a movie.
@@TyTyMcGintynah it really wasn’t. If you had an attention span of more than 20 seconds you’d know that, moon boy.
Given who John is this is probably a real conversation he has had multiple times.
John Mulaney MUST host the Oscars next year! In one and a half minutes he got more laughs than Jimmy Kimmel did all night.
Yes! I couldn’t agree more! John Mulaney never fails
I thought the same thing.
jimmy kimmel is supremely annoying and unfunny
And JM is handsome, too! And has an excellent voice, and projects quite well!
His governor’s awards monologue this year was fantastic, in case you missed that.
If John Mulaney's next special was purely dedicated to him recapping movies he's seen, I would gladly watch it.
I'd gladly watch it if it was just an even more in depth review of Field of Dreams tbh
Oh good lord yes. His whole bit where he interrupts his story about meeting Bill Clinton with talking about The Fugitive is one of my favourite things he's done
His recap of Back to the Future is the video I show people who have never heard of John Mulaney
@ryandhamilton18 My favorite thing about that is each time hedid a fugitive aside he stops the story at the exact same spot. "We walk in and it's packed with people..."
How about just Law & Order recaps? I could listen to him do that all day.
There is not a single extra or wasted word in this entire 90 seconds. It's so perfect, I'm in awe. I can't wait for the day John hosts the Oscars
He's the master of leading you off the rails and being able to land it perfectly. Exquisitely written and flawlessly performed.
A guy named William Shakesman once said "Brevity is the soul of wit."
Unfortunately they'll never let him. Did you hear how half the (older) audience couldn't even muster up a laugh? Maybe in a few years when the rest of Hollywood catches up.😊
@PaulHayesRocks yes. His brand of comedy can be defined as "organized chaos"
@@gregfaber3417 And he's less political than JImmy Kimmel. I like Jimmy, but you know about 40% of the potential audience won't even tune in to the show because he's hosting it and will inevitably say something political. A horse loose in the hospital is about the most he's said about that, AFAIK.
Every presenter you can tell someone else wrote their lines for them. No one could have come up with this but John Mulaney
Him presenting an award is like a horse.... loose in a hospital.
🏆
Best description of Trump ever. 🤣
Great call back!!! 🤣
Drug addicts say the darndest things
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 nice
Between this and his “The Fugitive” bit, I’m convinced I could legit enjoy a series that’s just Mulaney describing movies.
And Back to the Future - "Who's his best friend again? A disgraced nuclear physicist? Ok, proceed." Ha, just remembered: "...well now I'm embarrassed to say... I mean... WE THOUGHT it would be funny if...."
Don't forget when him and Pete Davidson describe the events of the Clint Eastwood movie the Mule
also his home alone 2 bit
@@yonick1 That bit's funny, but only *really* funny if you haven't seen the movie in ten years and don't remember it very well because it's really innacurate
@@yonick1His friend is somewhere between the age of 40-80.
John is consistently the funniest person in the room, wherever he is. I hope he keeps showing up to these events. His joke about Angela Bassett getting an Oscar nom for a Marvel movie being equivalent to a reddit comment winning a Pulitzer Prize killed me.
Wait you good?
@@hixta Yo you never listen, he already told you he dead
Where did he make this joke, that's fucking hilarious
@@mellow399514th Govenor's award monologue.
He is MY GENERATION's version of maybe what Steve Martin was for my Dad's... this effortlessly funny, confident comedic voice that just lights the scene on fire wherever he goes... becomes synonymous with an effortless and precise comedy that stands in it's own lane even amongst contemporaries. Nobody TRIES to be Mulaney - his schtick isn't a schtick that can be copied - he's just GOT it. Legend. He's catching on more and more and I'm all for it.
David Letterman might have been talking about John Mulaney when he said "there is no 'off' position for the 'genius' switch." Incredible.
You misspelled "annoying and boring."
@@jospenner9503 Who hurt you?🤣
That’s not genius and this entire show is bread and circus IQ..
Nice quote but that quote was meant for Gilbert Gottfried
@@72marshflower15then what are you even doing here, since you’re apparently so far above it?
The dig at Madame Web was absolutely amazing
John is the best argument for being sober
Love this
"I thought my coke habit was the reason I was successful, but actually I was succeeding in spite of it"
Meh, he was also funny when he was high. He has the talent to do both.
@@jsteeles>
@@baxtronx5972 That's true but it can be a misconception in an addict's mind that one needs it in order to do or be xyz
“These people are difficult and insane” 🤣🤣🤣
I'm going to use that line very often from now on. LOL
I never expected a joke about Madame Web to be part of an intro to a category in the Oscars done by John Mulaney. What a time to be alive
Is that what the spiders in the Amazon quote was about? I had no idea. Thanks for the info
@@keatherton403 Specifically the *trailer* to Madame Web, it didn't make the final cut.
He was in the Amazon with my mother when she was researching spiders just before she died
He was in my mom when she was researching Amazon with spiders just before she died.
What is this a reference to
@@Sheenifier Madame Web
@@brodull1142 oh that's why... Didn't see it
@@SheenifierWell that is okay because apparently it is only said in the trailer but also it is okay, even preferable, not to see Madame Web in general.
Now he should have hosted
I bet you $2.50 he will be the host for 2025 Oscars.😂
Def
@@ElementalWitchn maybe this was kind of an introduction...
@@trancos7641 you maybe right 🤔
John’s still got it!!!!
He's actually better than ever
That's still Frank!
He never lost it
His comedic timing is impeccable
His cadence, tone, inflection, affect, pauses, everything, are perfect. His delivery on long form jokes is second to none, it gets funnier as it goes on and you still know the punchline is coming to cap it off, despite the mini-tangents and side laughs. He is brilliant in his field.
I might be wrong--I usually am--but I don't think they needed the writers for that bit. That sounds like pure Mulaney.
"John, we need you to fill some time."
I’m certain John wrote that in his own. The actors had writers but the comedians did their own bits
John came up with that bit when he was 12-13, just waiting for the right moment
It's very much in line with his aside bit about the Fugitive.
I would love to see a skit by John Mulaney and Dakota Johnson about Madame Web
I love when he goes on a rant. One of his specials he did this bit with a different movie.
The Fugitive?
also Back to the Future 😂
Which one? I am going to see it!
@neoshinok9962 one of the funniest long form jokes ever
Also Home Alone 2. “If only it hadn’t come out 17 yrs earlier. But [he] wasn’t a comedian then so [he] was going to have to talk about now (in his special). [He] wished it had come out then. [He] wished [he’d] been a def com comic.” And then he goes for the BEST PART which I will not ruin in a comment. I think it’s in his first special John Mulaney New in Town. I’m sure it also contains jokes about Law and Order bc all of his early stuff does. And that’s also worthy of watching. He’s hysterical!! Already a legend! 😅
I would pay $50 to hear Mulaney summarize a movie rather than watch the movie itself.
You should watch his Back to the Future stuff if you haven't.
He should summarize the ENTIRETY of TLW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best audition to host the Oscar’s I’ve seen
John Mulaney should be given a shot at hosting. As long as he can write it too.
they might still try to zhuzh it up with Bruce Vilanch.
A minute and a half of John Mulaney, all the Oscars show I need to see.
Please welcome your host to the 97th Academy Awards, John Mulaney!
John Mulroney really cleans up good. Sobriety looks great on him.
John Mulroney lmao
@@KillBill808 this made giggle to myself.
He's like a kid's toy that needs new batteries.
Botox is great stuff.
I genuinely love when comedians are given a topic to start with and they devolve it into lunacy and something completely unrelated just before swiftly going back on topic.
Definitely much better than two comedians doing a horribly rehearsed bit that nobody understands because they're doing the bit before they announce the category they're presenting and so the most it gets is a groan from the audience. Why do they keep doing that over this?
I also like that he didn't demean or make fun of anybody specifically. He just made fun of how the Field of Dreams has a bit of a weird plot, but is one of the best movies made.
It would not be the Oscars without a solid Burt Lancaster impression
John Mulaney has the sharp and efficient brain of an attorney. I'm so glad he's using it for comedy instead.
Both of his parents are/were lawyers, so that tracks!
He says that difficult and insane casually like he's ordering a coffee, just a simple observation that speaks volumes
This little segment was funnier than anything Jimmy Kimmel has ever said.
John has always been A+ for this delivery about summarizing films. This is no exception.
He just recites the plot, and it’s so funny. What a genius.
He's right about Field of Dreams, too.
John Mulaney is an achievement in sound
Let’s make a movie about his monologue lol
🙏
John Mulaney is so much better at this than everyone else.
John Mulaney showing why he should host the Oscars next year.
That Burt Lancaster impression was perfect.
John Mulaney just got the job as host for 2025!!! OK, I'm not crazy about that tuxedo he was wearing, but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that we never have to even think about Kimmel again, ever. It's like Christmas or something.
I love the tux. It's the kind of thing I would imagine I could pull off but then I'd get made fun of by my adult friends who should be nicer by now.
@@thejimbruce I'm sure you'd look fabulous in this tux! But I think the proportions are off on the one John's wearing. He looked fantastic at the Governors Awards though. Perfect actually.
Source?
I agree he should host the whole thing though I think Kimmel was better this year than he's ever been. The trump aside was excellent, and he seemed to realise it wasn't about him and kept the whole thing moving along.
It should be John and Nick hosting the Oscars not John alone. Go watch the two years they hosted the independent spirit awards. Brilliant!
The best moment of the show, by far. I could have watched him the whole time.
This moment was perfect. Just perfect writing, perfect delivery, by the perfect guy. Why the hell is he not hosting more things!?
John Mulaney is such a remarkable talent.
John definitely must be selected to host next year... He's perfect. With only his comedy dialogue it's so entertaining to watch
Get him to host next year. It's time. He's absolutely hilarious. Kimmel isn't bad but he's kind of boring and safe.
Kimmel's also hosted like a billion of these award shows. I'm hoping for a break from him for a while lol
I nominate Graham Norton
🙏
Totally agree. Kimmel has hosted many times and his shtick is a little tired.
I think Jimmy is over it too though. This year was really safe. I’m thinking his Governor awards hosting gig was them & him testing the waters. Hope next year he host.
he needs to host the next oscars.
he didn't need cocaine he *is* cocaine
"you switched the samples!" "ladies and gentleman my friend Dr Kimble"
First we had him retell Back to the Future. Then The Fugitive. Now Field of Dreams. We need more John Mulaney recaps famous movies.
"What a chance, because there's always people in the Oscars trying to rush you. And (John) went fast. But what he said, I was very touched by it. I should talk to him because I was really impressed. He was a genius. I loved what he did." -Kevin Costner, GQ Magazine
This guy would be the perfect Oscars host.
🙏
I like how they didn’t even cut to Dakota Johnson when he made the Madam Web joke, like they do sometimes when a joke is made about an actor/director in attendance.
“Without Sound we wouldn’t hear iconic lines such as “We’re going to need a bigger boat”, “I’ll have what she’s having”, and “He was in the Amazon with my mother when she was researching spiders just before she died”.”
John Mulaney, man of the people.
John mulaney roast madam web🤣🤣🤣
John’s gotta host next year- John’s comedy doesn’t cause controversy but just speaks humorous truth
This reminds me of ‘88 Oscars, when Billy Crystal was greatly presenting the academy for the best sound and a year after he hosted the Oscars…hopefully we see John hosting next year!!
John is an all star. Dude crushed this
He's so great at subverting expectations in his comedy. He did a similar bit in The Comeback Kid with his President Clinton/Richard Kimble bit. Brilliant! Glad to see hm on top of his game.
This is him sober
I also thought The Boat Rocker was a real book.
In the novel, it was Catcher in the Rye.
It’s insane this man had a sitcom and we forced it off air. Mulaney is at the top of his game
LOLOLOL "These people are difficult and insane."
They were the people who thought "The Artist" was the best movie of 2011.
His delivery is like the old “trans Atlantic” speak of 1930’s movies….like Hepburn etc, and he is really good at it.
While we’re doing this, Weird Al for the Superbowl Halftime Show
YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!! omg Let's start a petition!
They did not figure out sound with Ezekiel voice in Madame Webb. It did not sync with lips 🤦♀🤦♂🤦
Mulaney reminds me of Jason Bateman a bit here.
Now the Oscar for achievement in sound.
You know, for years, movies didn’t have sound. And then, they figured it out.
Some people say that the silent era was the golden era of film. These people are difficult and insane.
Without sound, we wouldn’t been able to hear such classic lines as; “You’re gonna need a bigger boat”, “I’ll have what she’s having” and “He was in the Amazons with my mother when she was researching spiders just before she died”
Or what about that moment in Field of Dreams, when we hear; “If you built it, he will come”. And then Costner does it, he builds a baseball field. Or i guess he doesn’t build it, he mowns down corn and then there is a field. And then he is like, “I'm gonna watch ghost play baseball”. And the bank is like; “You wanna pay your mortgage?”, and then he is like; “nah, I’m gonna watch ghost play baseball”.
And then he finds James Earls Jones, who wrote the Boat Rocker, which i thought was a real book deep into my twenties. And he’s like “People will come Ray”. He’s the only one with a financial plan.
But what's weird is Timothy Busfield pushes little Gaby Hoffmann off the bleachers, and she falls down and she is unconscious. Then Burt Lancaster's "Moonlight" Graham and he comes up and he pats her on the back a couple of times. And he’s like; “Hot dog stuck in the throat”.
And then he can't come back in the game. Cause i guess there is a rule, in ghost baseball. That if you leave the field at any point to become an elderly ghost and do the Heimlich maneuver, you can't return to the field.
I love Field of Dreams, that should win best picture. Though, they'll probably go with one of this year's.
Here are the nominees for best achievement in sound.
Bravo John!! Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’ve been thinking it my whole life, “Field of Dreams should have won the the Oscar’s Best Picture - 1989.” And finally someone said it. Thank you John.
Can’t we make this happen Posthumously?
I’m certain of it. Let’s do this John.
Love John! I’ve seen him a few times live and he’s laughing-so-hard-your-cheeks-and-sides-ache hysterical. If you get the chance, see him live
I like the overarching joke of him rambling on and filling as much of his time as he could while presenting the award for sound. It’s clever.
What was that, 14 laugh breaks in 90 seconds? Amazing.
He wants the gig, how could they possibly not let him host?
I’m surprised Jimmy even came back on stage after John showed him how it’s done.
All the digs at Madame Webb this evening... Lol.
he needs to be the new billy crystal. instead of an opening song every year about each film he can just riff on the plots of each film being increasingly ridiculous and i would eat that up
“Hot dog! Stuck in her throat!” His voice was a perfect Burt Lancaster.
Please let Mulaney host next year's Oscars, he is hilarious, witty and genuinely charming.
Field of dreams is one of my favourite movies of all times.
So many amazing characters that play such an important role in the film.
And James Horner's score. Spare and gorgeous.
If you build it they will come not he will come.,. He totally got it wrong!! So your obviously not that big of a fan of the film are you??
Kids breathlessly recounting specific parts of a movie they just watched in detail:
This was my favourite part of the entire night.
John Mulaney needs to host the Oscars. Forever.
~Trav
my favorite john bit is just him describing the plot of something
Madame Web reference yay
At this point I almost feel sorry for Madame Web hahaha
John Mulaney always cracks me up. He would be a better host although his stories might be longer than allowed.
That tall child looks exhausted! 😂😂
Throwing shade at Madame Web lol.
PLEASE let this man host the Oscars from now on! So much better than Kimmel!
This was so smooth!
The Madame Web roast hahahahahha
That Madame Webb burn was amazing 😂😂
I want a video series where John Mulaney recaps his favorite films.
I hope he hosts one day
John Mulaney needs to host the Oscars please!
John Mulaney, a national treasure.
He's talking as if he doesn't know the rules of ghost baseball forewards and backwards. He knows the rules of ghost baseball.
😂 It's funny cuz it's true
Baseball movies should be acknowledged by the Academy more often. Maybe a documentary about baseball in Cuba or Dominican Republic would win
I hope someone can make a compilation of John Mulaney talking about movies cuz he actually talks about them quite a bit. He would be the perfect Oscars host for his passion for movies, brilliant comedic skills, and is able to do musical numbers if he wishes
“Hey it’s Oscar night! What’s one key bump?”
I agree that he looks high here.
That gig is his next year if he wants it.
Says who?
No wonder Kevin Costner is impressed.
