+MintyPanda He won a shit ton of other awards though. Out of all of the award shows (which I just learned there are a stupid amount of different award shows), the Oscar is like the only one he didn't win.
So... A screenplay of your life. Good job continuing to work on it. I have been encouraged to write a book. Laptops are not comfortable for writing. My Dad recognized my appreciation of movies. I appreciate what I cannot do on my own. Write a screenplay, not a book. Make the thoughts appear alive, via description, detail, and care. Never be discouraged. Work is difficult. Fuck everyone else. Are they writing a screenplay? Nope. Be well!
All jokes aside there's something remarkable about what those kids wrote. I mean they laugh, and I did too, but when you think about there something so authentic about it and so true. Like "no. your name is thomas". Pure genius. They should do it more often
Refreshing and super funny! I agree with the rest, this should become a staple! Side note: I'm surprised that people don't think kids can write this. I'm a teacher, and their creativity always stuns me ... believe me, I've seen them write even funnier, more creative and more imaginative scenes than these. I do take exception to the one supposedly written by a six year old ... that point where Birdwoman insists on a different billing is more adult thinking than a six year old's.
The top billing joke has been done everywhere though. I am pretty sure I have seen it on Spongebob and on Phineas and Ferb, so it was probably "borrowed" humor from some similar source.
Kids today also consume SO much more media than their parents did at the same age, particularly TV, and particularly drama traditionally targeted at older people. Kids are EXTREMELY good at absorbing dialogue from TV shows, and even though they don't always understand WHY something is funny, they can often work out WHAT is funny and WHEN it is funny. I can totally see a kid hearing the billing joke, working out its a joke to do with birds, and reusing it even if they don't actually get the joke. And, of course, some six year olds are just really good with language. I mean, even if you take someone like Noah, the apparently kid, who wasn't even in school when his first video happened. He doesn't do puns, but he has a wickedly dry sense of humour for a kid his age, and I'd bet you about 80% of it is just what he's absorbed from other people and worked out the kinds of context certain things are funny in.
+porcusuxor I think it might just be the way Keaton read that line. The script doesn't give any stage direction so it could just be birdwoman musing over being married and simply happening to say the names in a different order. If he had it read it in a different tone that joke might not even have registered.
jokesterr119 Mate you can't state that as fact when you know you ain't sittin in no Jimmy Fallon writers' room lol I kid I kid. They're good stories regardless :)
The whole concept is brilliant. From the simple, innocent, funny and witty dialogue written by children, acted out by adults, the hilarious delivery by both Michael Keaton and Jimmy, the serious delivery of the scene description by Higgins to the background music provided by the Roots, setting the tone. More please!
Wow, that second one was such an emotional rollercoaster! You had the joyful introduction, followed by the main character's aspirations and strife, and then the big twist reveal, all concluding with some light comedy. I feel like both actors really brought their best into these rolls.
When did Michael Keaton get so old? WHERE DID TIME GO? HOW IS HE 65 NOW? I swear I only remember him in his forties. It's like time went 20 years forward in 2 months or something. What?
I'm hoping and praying that Michael wins the Oscar. I've loved this dude ever since Batman. Birdman is better than great. Loved the film. I really want Michael to win the Oscar so badly.
I love Michael Keaton’s reaction to the second story when he read in anticipation the real identity of Birdman 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You may be Birdman here but you’ll always be Bill Blazejowski to me.”Love brokers” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
omg damnnnn i love this kid theatre or what! i jus love everything abt it. ur expressions jimmy and the stars and the stories tht little kids write.. awsm man. do more of em
![CAPTAIN GENE | Michael Keaton | The Other Guys [HD]](/img/1.gif)
"can you call me bird son?"
"no, your name is thomas"
HAHAHAHAHAHHA
Best kid theater scene I've seen
Guntur Swardhika lmao best part
This was epic
Lol thomas now got daddy issues
hahahahahahahaha lol
That second one had the biggest plot twist since Star Wars probably, woah
na uh!
Agreed.... Caw! Caw! Caw! lol XD
Games Settings
LMAO X'D
Mary Brit :p
I didn't expected either!!
CAW! CAW! CAW! should be part of Michael Keaton's acceptance speech at the Oscars.
in fact, it should be all of his speech.
Avenging Stark
I wanted him to win so badly.
+MintyPanda He won a shit ton of other awards though. Out of all of the award shows (which I just learned there are a stupid amount of different award shows), the Oscar is like the only one he didn't win.
+Max
Well, he didn’t win the BAFTA, or SAG, which are two of the biggest predictors.
*petition for more Kid Theater*
Yesssss
Yessss
Christiana K I'd sign it
With Christopher Walken, Dame Judi Dench, Jared Leto, Morgan Freeman and Emily Blunt, in that order.
Christiana K great petition! 👍🏼
"If you have wings, you can do anything."
"Where can I get wings?"
"Target or Walmart."😂
That one spoke to my soul.😂😂
It should've been redbull
The kid actually tried to make it rhyme. He wrote "with wings you can do anythings." Fun sketch
Red Bull homeboy
1. Target or Walmart
2. No your name is Thomas.
3. Birdwoman and BirdMan
All the three kids have great sense of humor. :P
The second ending line almost killed me. Awesome
"Can you call me Bird Son?"
"No, your name is Thomas."
I'm dying
"Whatever you say, we're married now."
Gold👌👌😂😂😂
That escalated quickly.
*Gold...digger
Please, please, please make this a recurring thing with other guests promoting their films. I can't see how this could fail. Too funny!
*****
NO, just NO!
YES YES YES YES
Couldn't agree more. This bit is genius, I laughed so hard. haha
Po_The _Jedi caw! caw! caw!
Great idea! What are some of the upcoming films that might do promotion?
"whatever you say birdwoman, we're married now" this kid already knows how it works
Yup, a beta male in the making.
@@vizestroowash or just a wise male ;)
"You want to test me?"
"Yeah."
"Well I ain't afraid of you bitch."
is he Ringo Star???he looks like Ringo but is he? :D
I can't finish a screenplay I've been working on for three years and these kids complete masterpieces almost on command.
So... A screenplay of your life. Good job continuing to work on it. I have been encouraged to write a book. Laptops are not comfortable for writing. My Dad recognized my appreciation of movies. I appreciate what I cannot do on my own. Write a screenplay, not a book. Make the thoughts appear alive, via description, detail, and care. Never be discouraged. Work is difficult. Fuck everyone else. Are they writing a screenplay? Nope. Be well!
I am where nowhere. I see my Mom every week, and she encourages me to write a book.
same thing caw caw caw lol
At 4:55, Michael Keaton was actually touched by the story.
"where can I buy wings?"
"target or walmart!"
He might not have won best actor at the Oscars but Keaton is a legend regardless.
Damn right!
+LaRay82 Yea
Oh no what if another Leonardo dicapro happens
+Gary C Because he's Batman.
Batman doesn't need Oscar.
I'm impressed with those kids .
But kids didn't write it lol
jokesterr119 Are you going to reply to every comment?
@CtOS
Yes
jokesterr119 you're here to be the bull kill for every person that comments huh?
jokesterr119 has no life. Haha
"No, your name is Thomas" Haha, that one genuinely made me happy.
Second one is fucking deep man..
They're all fucking deep!
Second One = deez nuts
Second One= Caw Caw Caw!
CAW CAW CAW!!!!!!!!
Man I loved the second one.
All jokes aside there's something remarkable about what those kids wrote. I mean they laugh, and I did too, but when you think about there something so authentic about it and so true. Like "no. your name is thomas". Pure genius. They should do it more often
"I thought you were not real"
"I'm real when it's useful"
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Bro. Your profile pic gives away your secret identity.
The little giggle before he read out, "Target and Walmart", lolol!
I laughed so hard, lolololol. These kids would become good writers ::))
But kids didn't write these, the writers did lol
Who cares? It's funny. If the kids wrote this, kudos. If the writers wrote this, great!
Refreshing and super funny! I agree with the rest, this should become a staple!
Side note: I'm surprised that people don't think kids can write this.

Watchdog Goon It's a standard trope. Using it isn't plagiarism, but it might be considered staying too safely attached to the zeitgeist.
Qermaq Okay. I was not implying it was plagiarism.
+porcusuxor I think it might just be the way Keaton read that line. The script doesn't give any stage direction so it could just be birdwoman musing over being married and simply happening to say the names in a different order.

*Hahaha these kids came up with better storylines then 99% of the shite on tv at the moment!*
Thank the writers since kids didn't write this lol
jokesterr119 Mate you can't state that as fact when you know you ain't sittin in no Jimmy Fallon writers' room lol
I kid I kid. They're good stories regardless :)
Look at the style of writing in Jimmy's monologues and all other skits. And c'mon mate, "Touch my beak?" Lol
You don't watch a lot of movies or TV do you?
+Netty F Calling TV crappy... original.
3rd one went from 0-100 real quick o.O
Ėėėėėė!
I nearly choked on my apple juice when Keaton said "caw, caw, caw".
I knew it!
No you didn't
You're right
Lol that's me everyday
Please do more Kid Theatre soon! It's my favourite segment!!!!
same here
6:03 --> Still a better Lovestory than Twilight
My parents’ marriage was a better love story than Twilight, and they got divorced.
"Target or Walmart!"
If these were teenagers instead of kids it would have been Red Bull...
Diva380 so true😂😂
Redbull
kid theater is a gift to the world.
Still watching it in 2016 and still LOVING Michael Keaton👏
wow a whole fuckin year
i always rewatch this micheal keaton is awesome
The whole concept is brilliant. From the simple, innocent, funny and witty dialogue written by children, acted out by adults, the hilarious delivery by both Michael Keaton and Jimmy, the serious delivery of the scene description by Higgins to the background music provided by the Roots, setting the tone. More please!
4:44 - 4:48 You can hear a seal in the audience
His name is Thomas
Hahahaha! 😂
dear lord mate, you totally made my day!!!!
Michael bay could learn a lot from this
I don't think he can actually comprehend the complexity of these scripts. Or ever will be able to.
I imagine what Bay would do, explosions in the background, while birdman and birdson have their deep conversation.
Birdman and Birdwoman are talking to eachother and then "KABOOOOOOM"
Jiehfeng His Name is Thomas!
tubelev LIKE I CARE!!!
Can you call me Bird Son?
"No your name is Thomas" LOL and how everybody was dying the entire time
Wow, that second one was such an emotional rollercoaster! You had the joyful introduction, followed by the main character's aspirations and strife, and then the big twist reveal, all concluding with some light comedy. I feel like both actors really brought their best into these rolls.
No. Your name is Thomas.
-Would you mind call me Bird son?
-No, your name is Thomas
😂😂😂🙌
When did Michael Keaton get so old? WHERE DID TIME GO? HOW IS HE 65 NOW? I swear I only remember him in his forties. It's like time went 20 years forward in 2 months or something. What?
Ίρις Γεωλιέζου I know! I'm still looking at him right now and I'm trying to imagine him with black hair again...
Mandela effect
Jess Hughes give it a fucking break already
Calm down Princess
Would love to see Morgan Freeman do some Kid Theater.
ArtByKarenEHaley -
That would be epic
Me tooooo
Gosh this bit is tooo hilarious!!! Kids have the wildest imagination and funniest conversation language
WE NEED MORE KID THEATER!! JIMMY, GET ON THIS, FOR PETE'S SAKE!
Who is Pete?
Loved that caw part! Laughed so hard thanks John for that😂
Keaton is a real actor. He was so professional reading those ridiculous lines.
True that! He's no stranger to the outrageous. He played Beetlejuice, for crying out loud!
Can you call me Bird Son? ... No, your name is Thomas. LOL!!!!
I died laughing at Birdman not wanting to call Thomas his Bird Son.
I don't like Jimmy's interviews as much as Conans but his games and extras like this are always SO funny!
I enjoy these so much that I want kids to make short movies like this
Michael Keaton is awesome!
The second one was my favorite this time 😂
"You're right.Can you call me Bird Son?"
"No.Your name is Thomas."😂😂😂 that made my night
No joke. Literally started choking when he said "I'm not afraid of you, b***h." 😂😂😂
The second one made my life
"I ain't afraid of you bitch"
Fave line
"No. your name is Thomas" 😂😂😂
The second one was such a powerful performance. I'm in tears.
Michael Keaton is GREAT!!!! Love you too Jimmy!
I love this skit. I hope Kid Theater becomes a staple, along with Lip Sync Battle and Box Of Lies.
Can you call me Bird son??? No, you're name is Thomas. Fucking hilarious!!!!!!!!!
I'm hoping and praying that Michael wins the Oscar. I've loved this dude ever since Batman. Birdman is better than great. Loved the film. I really want Michael to win the Oscar so badly.
PLEASE PLEASE be in more movies Michael Keaton!
The 2nd 1 is legit man. The feels. And humor.
Michael Keaton is a freaking legend!!
Still better than Batman and Robin.
Your a savage.
+Slim Shady The Pancake you're*
Absolutely love Michael Keaton.... I wish he hadn't gone away for so long!!!! He's amazing!!!
That character development between Birdman and Birdwoman though😂😂
😂😂😂 You're the man, Michael Keaton! #FromBatmanToBirdman
Keaton is so amazing. Flawless in every god damn way.
I love Michael... he's great. How talented are those kids!
the magic mike ones are the bests!!!!
best line ever: Caw caw caw
Second scene is like Turbo-man from that movie "jingle all the way"
"Can you call me bird son?" - "No, your name is Thomas."
This is gold.
should do more of this
"Birdman and Birdwoman."
"Birdwoman and Birdman."
That second one had me going for a minute there, it reminded me of Michael Keaton's role in Jack Frost!
These were too short to even be short stories, yet there was a beginning, middle and end. I laughed so hard. This was a laughter surgical strike.
Michael Keaton is awesome. Nuff said
I love this guy
thomas has obviously seen star wars recently
Keaton definitely deserved that Oscar, but thankfully we have this. The best Kid Theater!
I love Michael Keaton’s reaction to the second story when he read in anticipation the real identity of Birdman 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You may be Birdman here but you’ll always be Bill Blazejowski to me.”Love brokers” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
"Target or Walmart!" LOL I laughed way too much
When will this segment get a tv show? I think these are a lot better than the Lip Sync Battles.
Michael Keaton! He is a legend! Greets from Europe!
That was brilliant. Standing ovation.
I just adore that grin that Michael does at 2:37
These are just fantastic!! Jimmy is killing it!!
omg damnnnn i love this kid theatre or what! i jus love everything abt it. ur expressions jimmy and the stars and the stories tht little kids write.. awsm man. do more of em
Wow this kids are amazing! And Michael is the best!!
I think Keaton is very polite. He bowed with Fallon after the stage. :-D
"Where can I get wings?"
"Target or Walmart"
This is adorable!
"Whatever you say bird women. We're married now" Lol that kid is going places
"Birdwoman and Birdman" I'm a guy and that actually made me proud of our younger generation haha
This is my favorite heading! Please, do more!!!) Wonderfull, very funny and positive! I love it.
Man that second one was like disney stuff. Sad, happy then weird.
This is so cool! Keaton was having a great time with these!!
