"The Alligator People" - OR - "When I Married A Gorn"
Needs more Captain Kirk.
I wish they would have lived happily ever after and it wouldn't have bothered her that he had scaly skin and a gator face.
With the patented double "ax-handle" maneuver!
I remember soft shoe attacks rising again a few years back. Luckily though they stopped making Crocs......
It says your comment was from 4 days ago but it said that this video was posted 47 minutes ago I'm so confused?
@@popwar-oo3ht Patreon supporters usually get earlier access to videos.
@@Dreadjaws does that mean that I don't have a chance with the code words then If I can't put the last one in and send it until 4 days after patrons? I planned on becoming a patron but I guess I'm going to have to do it sooner than later to have a chance to get that switch. Thank you I was really confused
@@popwar-oo3ht yes I'm a patreon supporter but I don't think Mark will run the competition on a 'first come first served basis'. I'm sure he will wait for everyone to enter before he draws the winner.
@@popwar-oo3ht lol i was confused too
The Nigerian Prince bit was great editing and a great joke.
You'd have to a bit dense not to see that obvious Nigerian prince joke. I mean I saw it and thought that and I'm thick as a brick.
It was a good gag, and the fake letter, or the fake shot, was brilliant.
@@facethestrange15yearsago81 then I must be thicker then a brick because I didn’t see it coming. Mind pointing out any foreshadowing for me???
@@facethestrange15yearsago81 Then slather me with mortar and slap on the stack baby cuz i'm a brick!
i actually paused and read the whole thing thinking that it was in the movie and also that, "teelegrams were paid per word, and that are a lor of words"....
The question of "is she pretty" is easily answered once anyone sees Beverley Garland. Such a gorgeous woman, and such a fun film!
Mark: I turned to the audience and said "Hi, I'm Mark..."
Everyone: Oh hi Mark.....
**Hears piano story**
Hahaha, what a story, Mark!
No! The Super Nintendo was 16 bits not 32. That error ruined my whole enjoyment of the story.
@@maemorri well I did correct it on screen during the story
@@FanboyFlicks Sorry. I was listening in the background.
@@FanboyFlicks Yeah, I was ready to make a similar comment while I listened to it on the drive but decided to watch the part and you did correct it.
A shame. I too was looking forward to putting my nerdiness on display.
First Nigerian prince joke I’ve laughed at for 5 years. Kudos. Also, happy to see a consistent schedule. Great content.
What was the joke you laughed at 5 years ago?
...his Yankee-Diddley-Doodly recital story is what got me.
You laughed at something for 5 years? How did you eat? Or sleep?
@@6sKi6z6 good for the abs
@@6sKi6z6 This video was just released, so OP has slightly less than 5 years of continuous laughter to go. He may not have answers to your questions yet.
So this is where Marvel's Stan Lee and Steve Ditko got the inspiration for Doctor Curt Connors - The Lizard.
The fact that they "just happened" to come up with a character with the exact same backstory only 4 years later is super suspicious...
"We have a lizard situation here.... Let's go hulk to try and fix it."
Yeah because it’s can’t be a coincidence
@@srstriker6420 It could be, but unlikely to be.
@@poeterritory why because they took their secret to the grave? Which I don’t like speak ill of the dead.
Always love it when Mark reviews a black-and-white movie and breaks out the "This is the Twilight Zone" look.
A real Dapper Dan
I love it that no one is mentioning how Mark said the Super Nintendo is a 32 bit console.
@@doubtfulhenry quite the strapping young lad
@@Zeropointill Sega Genesis does what Nintendont
I love that when they are interrogating the girl on truth serum, she speaks fairly normally and the two doctors talk like they are in a trance.
"Why are you attacking the alligator? That is your crew now." Self hate is real Mark. It's real.
"Fingers crossed" was basically the slogan of 1950's medicine.
It's even worse now.
I thought it was "tonic fixes all"
Disposable needles were just invented in 1968, before that all the way back to 1857 when needles were invented they were a glass syringe with screw on needles, the needles were cleaned and reused a few times before they would be sharpened and reused again lol
Ahhh see, you've got yourself a spot of tha 'eebie-jeebies there mistur.
I'll pen you down for a packet of unfiltered mentholated cigarettes and a bag of tapeworm eggs.
@@breakingames7772 I would hate to be the person that got stuck with that needle before it was re-sharpened
I'd love to see a remake of this movie that starts with Mark's idea. A social gathering, and someone brings up bad break-ups. Joyce steps forward, takes a big swig of vodka, and tells her story of her alligator husband.
"I Married Wally Gator !"
So I married a Izod 🐊...
-This is a trouble house.
-What happen?
-People are turning into alligators!
-Thank God! I thought they were communists.
-Uh oh! I guess I'll go buy some fish sticks! *Cue laughter track.*
Naw, communists just turn you into dead people.
Yeah, for a minute there I thought it could be bad plumbing!!
I love when Mark enters the movie and starts talking to the actors.
I’m glad this channel is becoming more consistent, love the videos so much.
Mark has alot going on in his private life & he makes these videos on his own
Wedding Crashers 2005 Full HD Comedy full movies Full length english HD 1080p what movie name anyone
Yeah
Mark has been replaced with a reptile person 🦖
@Alec Macik no clue but I love MGS. lol
When mark said:
“welcome back tooooo the programme” instead of ‘show’ I thought the universe was going to explode 🔥😂
I like to change a few things up when I do the b&w classic era videos to suit the time the movies were made in. I even print out my script on paper instead of using my iPad
@@FanboyFlicks THERE'S A FRANK EMOTE!?
10:05 “Using the pedals” needs to become a thing people say when they try too hard 😂
There was a guy in my neighborhood who owned an amphicar. He used to drive across the river to go to work every day. I would sometimes see him driving back in the evening. Even though it was "normal" to see this dude driving his car ACROSS THE RIVER on any given day, it was still crazy enough to get my attention.
Wonder if he pulled any jokes on his passengers pretending to "crash" his car in the lake
One of our presidents did that in a amphicar. I think it was Truman.@@konradcurze939
I can’t tell you how much I relate to the piano recital story. My step-mom was a piano teacher and had her studio in the house. I was forced to take lessons, but I sucked. Our recital was a Halloween one. I played Camila the camel and was dressed up like an ancient Egyptian. I was clunky and missed a bunch of notes. Getting up and bowing after that, in that costume...It only compounded the humiliation.
I am very sorry ma'am.
*Mark is a precious human being and we need to protect him from any possible threats including aliens*
And quicksand.
I have a similar piano story. In college I had a recital as the final for a piano course. I had pulled an all-nighter before the recital that morning. I got two measures into the song and went completely blank. I looked at the class smiled and then played the last measure of the song because it was all I could remember. Needless to say that was my last recital lol
The Alligator People makes a great double-feat. with The Wasp Woman!
They should marry each other. :P
@@dubuyajay9964 ha ha and guess he could eat her or stomp on her
Still, the movie looks so good. The cinematography, the lighting, the sets. I’m a sucker for oldies.
I liked it.
This movie freaked me out as a kid during Monsterfest on AMC. It's so silly watching it now but little me was like "this could really happen!!!!"
That's me and Time Walker. Scared the piss out of me when I was little. Watched it a couple years back and just shook my head at my past self.
I wonder if it's title was an attempt to steal some of the success of the far superior The Cat People from 1942.
@@DCI-Frank-Burnside that would not surprise me at all. Cat People is soooo good!
You were right about the moccasins. I was born in 1957, and it's a damn miracle I made it out of the 50s without being victimized by those awful, so-called, shoes.
Ah yes, quicksand. Quicksand and lava. The two biggest banes of all 10 year olds.
I'm surprised there was no Happy Gilmore reference during the scene with the alligator-hating man with a hook for a hand.
Yeah. tournament down in Florida. I hooked my ball in the rough down by the lake. Damned alligator just POPPED up, cut me down on my prime. He got me, but I tore one of that bastard's eyes out though. Look at that.
Very astute
I made a Happy Gilmore reference in my comment before seeing this one, good to see a fellow person of culture.
I love that they chose alligators, despite them being one of the few reptiles that have trouble regrowing limbs.
Mark, I had no idea you were in so many obscure movies. Also, what is your skincare routine because you haven't aged a day since 1959!
Trouble house sounds like a term a kindergartener would use to tell an adult about their broken home
TTnTT
An old southern gothic term referring to weird abodes.
11:20 In Dublin we have a bunch of those cars, they all operate for the Viking Splash tour. They basically drive through the city centre, show-case a few Viking sites and ruins, all while the tourists wear plastic stereotypical Viking helmets and yell, like Viking's, at people as they drive past them. The tour concludes with the amphibious vehicle driving into a body of water to make you feel like a real Viking.
Honestly if a guy rolled up in his boat-car and used that line, I'd probably go swamping with them.
Kids back then just could not understand why their idiot dads wouldn't buy one of those eminently practical and sensible boat-cars (or, as I preferred: car-boats.) And every few years a new model would slide into the market to enchant the next crop of youngsters. The truth was, of course, that they all barely moved in the water, burned oil hellaciously on land and sea, and leaked just about as much as you'd expect.
It's the only car that can make me wet
Was going to say this was a blatant rip-off of Spider-Man’s the Lizard. Then I saw the release date. It would seem the character of Curt Connors was at least a little inspired by this movie.
No kidding. Unless we're dealing with a Back to the Future/Hot Tub Time Machine scenario here. In which case the perp didn't sell his character idea to a big enough production.
I was looking for this comment
Absolutely! I was gonna say; "Did Stan Lee write this movie?!" =)
Are you sure its not just Mark, being an reptilian?
Huh, I thought he was from the 50ies - I mean there was already a Spiderman toon in the 60ies and that had the Lizard.
Hey Mark, this was a gooder! Considering how old this movie is, they did a pretty good job on the Alligator-Man/ Paul. Except for seeing his face through the teeth. LOL
Yeah it wasn’t bad make up, particularly the early pre transformation part.
I'm just amazed Mark managed to do a fresh take on the Nigerian Prince joke :D
"No relation."
Yeah, that's what they always say.
I think this is the first video Mark has done on this channel wearing a suit. It’s cool when he covers these very old movies from the 50’s in black and white. Thanks for all the entertaining content, Mark. There’s so many weird movies out there to cover. And I’m confident that Mark is determined to get to all of them.
Oh the 1950s. When there were many movies about animal-human hybrids.
And magical radiation abilities.
Like Cat Women on the Moon! :D Mark should review that.
Filling you in on some details there: The star is Beverly Garland, scream-queen of the 1950s. Lon Chaney Jr, the original 1941 Wolf Man, is drunk throughout. George Macready as the mad scientist was actually one of the best screen villains (Gilda!) of the 40s and 50s. Though it's low-budget, it's better made and better produced than most 1950s scifi stinkers. It would actually have been frightening if the alligator outfit wrent so ludicrous. But Kudos to Mark for picking up this jewel. Now, if you would only indulge in its history a bit; it's not much work.
I dunno, I find the costume pretty good. Pity he is barely in it.
Didn't really show a lot of the Monstrous Alligator Man, Sadly.
Beverly Garland was knockout in the TV cop show 'Decoy'.
Also Fred MacMurrays' wife in "My Three Sons"
@@darkwolf-22 yeah because imagine if they could
Mark is in a suit again, YAY! That will always get a thumbs up from me, from the start Edit: Your piano story was hilarious. I think you did well, you just put your own style on the song. I mean, we all know that song-who wants to hear the same old thing. You just put a cool twist on it, it sounds like.
Plan 9, Reefer Madness, and now Alligator People - love the suit and old timey vibe!!
I see what you mean and do agree that Suit Mark is a hottie, but I still prefer Naked Shower Mark.
And, no, in contrast to my current 30 year anniversary obsession with the naked T-1000, my Mark obsession is not Covid sexual withdrawal related. Thank you for not asking. 😅
I approve of the suit. Hey Mark, if you ever wanna start a ska band...
@@unterdessen8822 T-1000 obsession, that's a new one! I want to see Mark in 70s Huggy Bear costume for a 70s era movie, or like Don Jonson Miami Vice outfit for 80s movies like Chopping Mall
12:10 "yooo cand tokk to me laik dat!!" that's some of the finest acting I've ever seen! this movie deserves more recognition.
I love the science behind some of these old creature movies. If it doesn't make sense it's probably radioactive stuff, gene splicing or aliens. Great video as always, Dr. Mark! ;)
i was kinda wondering: Captain Hook, Chubbs, Mannon... how many characters does it take before an alligator biting off someone's hand is a cliche?
@@the503creepout7 as many as the "omnious shark fin cutting through the water cliche." And the "Hero saves Heroine from venomous snake cliche."
@@the503creepout7i just watched Teen Wolf a few hours ago, i don't recall an alligator biting Chubb's hand off.
Somewhat related, i see him in the locker room and i'm like there ain't no way he's anywhere close to the teenager he's playing. Sure enough i look him up and he was 27 for that movie. An obese 27 which is like 35 normal years.
@@herculesbrofister265 happy gilmore
This was one of my favorite B-movies as a kid! I still have the VHS even!
"Just keep your hands where we can see 'em." Kills me everytime!!
I felt the piano lessons story. My parents were big into music. For me it was the Trombone. I was always last seat in band. I remember having to go in a room a play scales and a song on a tape recorder., I messed up (because I was gaming instead of practicing) and went to rewind to go again, three times later I realized I accidentally rewinded too far and recorded over someone else’s thing. Since it was about 1/3 of the way in, I rewinded two more people and left it so the next person would record over theirs and I got a pass for the semester.
"yeah the doctor's name is Mark too, no relation." Suuuuuuure Mark, suuuuuure
So happy to see Mark cover a horror movie featuring another Universal Monster icon.
Awesome review Mark. As always...cracked me up. “Hey ladies, wanna go for a ride...land or sea?”
I actually saw this movie in a Miami theater when i was 13 and visiting my cousin Mitch. I was already a connoisseur of terrible monster flicks, and what impressed me about this one was how obvious the zipper on the back of his costume was.
Mark tells a story about when he had a piano recital.
After: "Hahaha. What a story, Mark."
A hoodie with an anti-talking-to-people shade would be cool... but if you combined that with an emergency jetpack you'd never have an awkward social situation again!
Shade....not....working.......click wooooooooosh!
I am glad Mark found a way to wear his suit to bring us happiness....
This channel is the only reason I have RUclips notifications on. 👏🏼

Marks piano recital story had me weak 😂😂😂 and it’s very relatable, because I did the same thing during performances as a child I didn’t care that much about (decidedly after screwing up)
Mark your channel is the only one that I actually get excited over when I see a new video. Thank you for the content! It means a lot to a lot of us ❤️
"Welcome back to the show"
--- Dr Mark
You know the black and white look with you in the suit and giving that old-timey horror show intro really vibes well.
Good luck with your medical stuff Mark. I wish you all the best, and not just for my own greed of wanting more episodes.
Looking sharp, Mark! And thank you for uploading more.
Yay, "The Alligator People"! Mark's finally doing old shit! Do more old shit Mark! And you're getting better and better.
May I suggest "Robot Monster"? Oh please oh please
Happy to see you're progressing with the channel, Mark. Always quality material with you.
This is easily my favorite RUclips channel. Keep up the great work, Mark!
This RUclips channel is truly a hidden gem. You are so damn funny, Mark. Your sense of humor is contagious. If you ever get married, your spouse will be very grateful for your ability to evoke plenty of laughter.
Always a joy to find a new review from Mark, Jolly well done chap. Tip top.
Not only is the regular content on this channel downright hilarious, but his off subject rants and stories of growing up is some of the funniest s**t ever .
Mark I just got to say that I really enjoy your videos. I enjoy that you aren't being critical and mean towards these films just because you can. Your opinions are well thought out and you catch a lot of details that I would not have caught myself. Thanks for your hard work and making me laugh I've definitely needed it.
I CACKLED when I saw the Nigerian Prince joke!! Also I love the vibes this video is giving. You never fail to make me laugh with your blend of dry humor, sarcasm, short skit bits, pause-or-you’ll-miss-it bits, and technical knowledge!
Gotta love it when Mark is telling stories from his childhood! But I admit I prefer the ones with a happy ending. You know...when you serve bullshit patties - and an adult actually BELIEVES it!! 😂
God damn it, Mark. For a minute I started laughing thinking they had Nigerian prince scam letters back then, too.
Also...what relationships? At this point a lizard person might be just fine.
I live in an area where the highway is literally feet from a river. You've got the right idea mark. Come be my mayor and funnel the city budget into aqueducts
The Nigerian joke got me real good lmao. Your edits are becoming top notch!
I’m in love with every single one of Mark’s skits!
As someone who has spent time in a psych ward, I can confirm the uncomfortable plastic beds thing. There were worse things about the fucking place, but not sleeping didn't help.
11:15 I saw one of those out one time and talked to the guy who owned it and said how cool it was to go right from driving to boating and why aren't there more of these? He laughed and said "There are, at the bottom of lot's of lakes and rivers."
Tommy Wissau breaks into this episode.
"Oh, hi, Mark!"
Two things. 1) Great work, as always! 2) You remind me of that guy from Back to the Future part 2, who thinks Marty stole Biffs wallet, Wesley Mann
Very underrated channel, we need to give this guy more publicity!
You give the best relationship advice, it's priceless. Thanks Mark. 🤪
Bro this was an epic video! Inserting yourself and the prince letter had me dying only few minutes in and you followed up epically! I can totally relate to your recital story, just different instrument.
Mark you should have a billion subs! You’re so talented and funny! Thanks for the fantastic entertainment. 😘
“Why are you fighting the alligator? That’s like your crew now, you should try to make friends!”
Keep up the good work, Mark!
Mark’s deadpan delivery and jokes are just so on point.
My mom used to work for a dentist that when giving a shot would say...
"Here comes the needle!"
in a sing song voice.
Fucked up.
Mark deserves 1,980,225 subscribers.

I think you mean "Let sleeping Alligators Lie" Your remarks about the X-rays at the dentist office was spot on.
"Don't forget to bring a towel."
-A Towel

Stan Lee and Steve Ditko must have had this movie on repeat when they created Spider-Man's villain the Lizard.
From what I'm seeing in the comment section, this is the inspiration. 😱
@@redwolfe7049 😂
13:46 Of course Dr Mark is not related to you Mark...you wear a Tie..Dr Mark wears a “homemade” Bow tie..2 different worlds bro..2 different words.
I liked the green-screened-in bits, you don't see that too often and was excellently implemented here
I was enjoying the review, but it was the "deadly attacks by soft shoes" joke that got me to stop what I was doing, pick up my phone, and like this video. XD
I like the acting and special effects in this movies
We really need more Mark side stories!
Maybe it's because I'm a sucker for 50's creature features (a huge part of my cinematic education growing up, which of course included this much-loved classic), but this instantly became one of my Top 5 favorite reviews from you, Mark. I loved everything about it and the humor was flawless - I wouldn't change a thing. I know I will be watching this a lot. Thanks and congrats on a really great one.
I really enjoy your FX work (the nigerian prince letter, stepping into the scenes.
You are easily one of the best of RUclips thank you for your videos and your personality they're both equally as amazing
Ah time for my usual „Mark routine“. Grab a tea, give a upvote, watch the video
Speaking of those lead vests, when I was in middle school the orthodontist's ditz assistant forgot to give me one while doing X-rays multiple times and later in high school I developed an orange sized tumor in my neck... shame I never drew the connection until much later in life. I remember the doctors kept asking me if I was exposed to anything radioactive, but I couldn't recall at the time.
I just wanted some more hydrocodone. >__>
