“Your flesh will be RIPPED from your body by grotesque SERPENTS, with razor sharp TEETH!!”….I crack up every time I see this awesomely tremendous scene!
I went to a Catholic school for 6 years, and it was the Nuns who scared me for life, they were devils in black. And this doctrine isn’t far from what is still believed in the Catholic Church and other religions.
This film is brilliant and was a favorite of my father. He attended Catholic High School in Queens NY from 1958-1961 and was taught by both the Brothers and Nuns. He said the film was pretty damn accurate in its presentation of the time.
This Talk About "The 'Ultimate' 'Price-Is-Right' &/And 'Jokers🃏-Wild'" Is Worse Than When As "The 'Masked-Avenger'", He Said To An "'Evil😈-Doer'" "Off To Jail For U/You, I Hope (That) U'll/You'll/U Will/You Will Enjoy Making License Plates", Or OtherWise We Can🥫 Feel "So Much For The Allowances God Gives Us For Being Human", It Just Should Only Be Fair To Reserve/Save Punishment/Consequences For If/When The Action Is/Was Taken.
I remember when this came out. It was marketed as "Porky's Goes to Catholic School," but it's not like that at all. It's actually a nostalgic, funny, and, yes, sweet coming-of-age story about growing-up Irish-American Catholic in the Pre-Vatican II church. Sadly, it's deceptive marketing hurt it at box-office and it's been pretty much forgotten despite being one of the better teen films of the 80's.
Wow! That’s a huge marketing gaff. Maybe they thought the real essence of the film may have seemed too boring? Or were they just thinking “heck, the 60s is the 60s for all teen stories so let’s link them”. It was Probably the latter and if so…LAZY marketing.
I only saw this film in its entirety once in the theatre. But this speech, and many other scenes, have stuck with me ever since. Thankfully Catholic schools were way more chill by the 1980s.
I didn't go to parochial school but I was considering the priesthood while in junior high. I probably got it from my dad, who himself was considering joining the Jesuits while at Seton Hall before he was introduced to my mother who was going to a Catholic nursing school....also in Brooklyn....and was herself considering becoming a "bride of Christ"! They were introduced by my uncle, so I owe my very existence to that man!!
i went to parochial school all my life but went to very liberal jesuit schools where the priests were so liberal you would think they were communists...hahah.
Look at how he responds to the line about admiring someone’s buttocks…this could be at least partly responsible for his subsequent descent into gay porn.
I have sometimes wondered if priests do this kind of stuff just mess with people for their own amusement. I bet after that rant he went in the next room and laughed his head off thinking I got em really good.
went to catholic schools all my life. If the priest was a type (you know, the kind that would happily torture you for jesus,) then he truly means it. If he is a liberal priest forced to say it from a higher ranking conservative priest, then yes, he would laugh about it after he was done. I knew that kind well. Jesuits in particular were very liberal and loved messin with our heads. Very intelligent. The less intelligent ones took themselves very seriously and likely believed all that stuff.
My mother was in a catholic school; she was almost 7 or 8 years old and she told me she had seen two girls very close to each other in very strange positions.😒😒
Fun fact. Actors for the voices of Lisa and Bart Simpson are both present in this scene. Yeardley Smith and Nancy Cartwright (uncredited).

I'm Sorry🙏 But Does That Sound🔊 Like An All-Loving God &/And Goddess To U/You?, It Just Might Not To Me.
and we Unitarians wonder why Catholics grow up emotionally scarred.

and your marrow will BE REDUCED TO A PUTRID BLACK SLIME! Anyway, enjoy the dance kids.
Same😂
This movie is an underrated masterpiece!
Undefeated by whom?

same here. my dad made sure he raised Unitarians instead. ;-)
That was then, this is now.
I love this film, absolutely love it. It is pitch perfect, I don't think there's a scene in it which is off.
Classic movie. This scene cracks me up every time. 😂😆🤣
This guy is the epitome of "No small roles, only small actors." He's one of those character actors who steals every scene he's in.
Christopher West sent me here!!!
His book which my college class was based on led me here! My professor showed this clip in our class hehe.
This was my first exposure to Wallace Shawn.
Same here! He was certainly a standout in this one big scene (I didn't see Princess Bride for many, many years until after I saw this) :)
@@jpgiuliotti Could you repost this scene without the major glitch in the middle please? It ruins it.

*INCONCEIVABLE!*
What is?
@@ElectricDreams2 it's a line from "The Promces Bride" which Wallace Shawn was in. He said it in the movie
Great movie… and this scene is all time classic humor…😂.
I loved how the student’s demeanor changed when the Father got up there.
My dad doesn't talk much about his time as a Catholic school boy. When I saw this movie, I understood completely.

Wallace Shawn could ruin a wet dream
This is a phenomenal speech from a very good movie.
Happy Birthday to such a legend
Ha!! Hell Ya ! This is funny as hell.
Every time I’m in Church, I think of this scene
Love this!
A first Friday novena- how they would've jumped for joy at that!!
Wallace Shawn kill this scene 😂 . Wonder how many takes this scene took. How they all held it together without laughing is a mystery to me 🤣😂

@@debbieavellan1889, definitely a far cry from the Basilian Order 4 years out from Vatican II, huh?
God bless Wallace Shawn. Also 1:27 Lisa Simpson! Hey
Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart) was also in this scene, although uncredited.
In this year ladies and gentlemen it is a voice of Rex the plastic Godzilla toy in the classic film toy story!
"Grotethque therpenth" sound a lot more fun that a damned novena, any day!
Bwahhhaaa
3:12 - is that Evil Ed?
Look at how he responds to the line about admiring someone’s buttocks…this could be at least partly responsible for his subsequent descent into gay porn.
yep. Stephen Geoffreys. First movie for him (this was 1985)
Williams at 0:13
LOL!

Is that Gordon Sondland?
Principal Mazur.
Hahaah williams
Catholic doctrine cracks me up 🤣
My mother was in a catholic school; she was almost 7 or 8 years old and she told me she had seen two girls very close to each other in very strange positions.😒😒
