I love O'Hara being a pro and saying yes so it lands and picking the right time to say no. Even the final two lines of these masters wrapping it up with, "you brought it up", "sorry, I did." Obviously she didn't REALLY, but I love that she said she did. BOOM. Two old Canadian improvisational besties who were categorically the best.
No one helped him deal with the comments by snobbish movie reviewers. One comment about "the funny fat guy" tormented him always.I would have pointed out that he didn't do his work for snobby elites. He did it for the every man...all of whom LOVED him. I was just a girl when he came on the scene, but to me his appearance in a scene was like my favorite crazy uncle or aunt arriving for a visit. Everything was going to be great from then on 😂. He did a lot of damage to his young body self medicating with food and alcohol to ease that pain. If only someone had explained to him that he was like beloved family to his fans, he might still be here. There aren't many other actors people have felt that way about. To me he was like a favorite uncle and to Dad, he was a favorite brother... someone to get into trouble with at family get togethers .
@@dgeneeknapp3168 Thanks for the touching reply to my post. The funny fat guy will always be in my heart but he's not a fat guy to me he is a glimmer of hope. It's a different world now than when he was here. A world with lots of disrespect and a lack of compassion but when I see your post D'Genee somewhere there is hope. "It's not so much the heat, it's the humidity that 'll kill you" (Cool Runnings) or "Aaah geez if you have to get to Chicago, we'll gladly drive you it's on the way to Milwaukee" -John Candy- Merry Christmas.
You can see Cathrine O’Hara trying to hold back the laughter, all you need to know to validate that John came up with this off the top of his head. Guy was a genius 🤣💯 RIP
It's the subtle things with Candy that are always genius. When she asks if he has ever gone on vacation and left his child home alone...he really lets it sit there for a few long seconds to think if he ever did...because he just may have and possibly forgotten he did that. So he thinks hard for a few seconds and then feels confident enough to say "no" lololol I mean knowing this was all improv for Candy...that is the stuff that just makes it gold!
John Candy shared all of his screentime with Catherine O'Hara. The two previously worked together on SCTV (1976), and were good friends. Candy died on O'Hara's 40th birthday, and O'Hara gave a tearful eulogy at his funeral.
I don't know how ANYONE ever worked with him without busting s gut every day. I love comedies, but I could NEVER work on one with the like of John Candy...and some members of The Carol Burnett Show. I'd ruin every scene.
Nash Shaffer, yes you could always tell when Harvey Korman was getting ready to lose it working with Tim Conway...oh, especially if Tim was playing the extremely old, white haired man. Carol could take a lot and was another culprit causing busting up in the scene. I understand she is the only one who ever cracked up one of the queen's guards in London...she was doing a full on Eunice from Momma's Family. I don't know how ANYONE worked on that show. They were ALL so damned funny.
Jack Benny and Jackie Gleason were both very good at this sort of thing in their day as are Steve Martin and Martin Short. Chevy Chase and John Belushi were also vert talented comedians turned actor. John Candy had a lot of talent but there have been lots of comedians who also acted.
*John Candy made $400 for 23 hours of work for this role.* *The pizza boy at the beginning of the movie made $500...* *The movie has since made over 1 Billion dollars and counting daily.*
Before shooting John was at my trailer we were discussing his role we actually practiced this sceen together while watching topgun with subtitles . After 3 attempts he finally asked me to try his part i did this exact sceen in my trailer. He asked me what he owed me and i said if you make anything over 500 bucks dplut it with me. I'll be damned ! I never saw a penny he took 414 just so he could steal my idea!. To this day i live in poverty because John was a cruel cruel human being.
My mom and one of her friends left me and another one the kids in the group at the grocery store. That's what happens when 3 mons with like 9 kids go to the store in a giant 1960s station wagon with a crew of kids all within about 2 years of age of each other and having reddish hair and fair skin. We all had short hair because little red heads just don't grow hair very well as little kids. It took several countings of the mass of moving little people in the back areas of the car to realize SOMEONE is missing. What's bad is MY MOM had exactly ONE and didn't realize I wasn't in the car leaving. 😂. It looked like a kid got xeroxed like 8 times, when we were together as a group 😂.
The poor boy must’ve been traumatized for some time after being left in a funeral parlor with a corpse for hours. Who could blame him? I probably would be the same way.
This is the idea for the reboot/sequel/prequel/remake of home alone mark my words. Itll be like a yr or two be4 home alone so say 1989...88 and itll be called funeralhomealone
I think they probably included him because Home Alone was inspired from Uncle Buck. It's interesting because initially Chris had reservations about Mack being Kevin because he just cast him in UB. But he knew it had to be Mack
He's a touring Polka musician who has to ride around the country in the back of a rented moving truck, so I think that paying for a therapist probably wasn't going to happen.
To this day I never understand why they didn’t put his name in the opening credits. Couldn’t they put the word “And” in front of his name instead of Catherine O’Hara’s? Or did they intend to keep it secret like Kevin Spacey in Se7en?
In this case, downplaying his involvement increased his impact. It's a nice surprise, and isn't some hokey forced inclusion like having him play an uncle to visit him. Smart move.
@@lionelhutz5137 to make it worse my idiot brother didn't even realise until he was reunited with his kid. I don't think his wife or kid will ever let him live it down 😂
"He was ok, you know, after six, seven weeks ... came around, started talking again." -- I absolutely lose it every time!
@Hop me too. Makes me sad also as the great man has been dead so long.
Same hahaha
I didn't get it when I was a kid, funny how many movies I rewatch as an adult and finally get the jokes.
“Maybe we shouldn’t talk about this.”
“You bought it up.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
kids are resilient
Fun fact, this whole scene was totally improvised by John Candy!
true
ghfdfhfdndxhcg yea no shit it was, O'hara and Candy were comic geniuses fron second city
He's the GOAT
hes gone now
@svin You're over thinking this.
"You brought it up..."- A true Chicagoan.

Comedy gold. I love Candy's flat delivery.
I love how it took him so long to answer "No" when she asked if he ever went on vacation and left his child home. Lmao 😂
John Candy had such a big heart. How could someone not like John Candy? In a world where empathy is so lacking, we are missing John Candy.
Only people inspired by these people can, that includes me

You watch this as a kid and it goes in one ear and out the other...... now as an adult this is hilarious
Deleted scene
@@Hawkeyes2017no it’s not. It’s in the movie.
So many things in this movie where that way

His timing absolutely makes it
Candy could've starred in a spin-off movie with this character. It'd be comedy gold.
Rest in peace John cadny, thanks for being part of Home Alone. you will never be forgotten.

No script was given but yet he made it work. John was such a pro.
I saw this with my sister in the theatre when I was a kid. We laughed so hard at this scene! LOL 😂
Love John Candy
The 1970's-1980 kids loved john candy. He sounded soothing as a heartbeat coming from a chest of someone you know.
R.I.P. John Candy.
I don’t know how John Candy delivered those lines without cracking up...
I don't know how ANYONE ever worked with him without busting s gut every day. I love comedies, but I could NEVER work on one with the like of John Candy...and some members of The Carol Burnett Show. I'd ruin every scene.
@@dgeneeknapp3168 Agreed. But I’m giving the Carol Barnett cast a pass. Them breaking character enhanced the scene

I miss John Candy
Omg I can't breathe!!! "He came around. Started talking again 6-7 weeks later" hahahahhahahaha
*0:42** You brought it up. Haha!!!!*
Hilarious line!
This scene gets funnier every time I watch it
As I get older I laugh harder at this.
Loved John Candy! Feel sad for him when I see him in a movie, taken away from us at such a young age 😔
This is the ultimate example of John Candy’s brilliance and nobody did this type of comedy better than he did.
Jack Benny and Jackie Gleason were both very good at this sort of thing in their day as are Steve Martin and Martin Short. Chevy Chase and John Belushi were also vert talented comedians turned actor. John Candy had a lot of talent but there have been lots of comedians who also acted.
Just finished the podcast and this was the first thing in my reccs
I can't believe I didn't remember this scene in the film until I watched it with my boys for Christmas.
I wanna see a prequel movie about this, "Funeral Home Alone"
The closest we got was _My Girl_ where the little girl was briefly accidentally locked in the basement morge...
*John Candy made $400 for 23 hours of work for this role.*
*The pizza boy at the beginning of the movie made $500...*
*The movie has since made over 1 Billion dollars and counting daily.*
Love. Love. Love.
"We left the little tyke there in the funeral parlour all day, all day."

rip john candy
As I now understand it, this scene was complete Improvisation by Candy. And he was paid $443 for his one day of work.
Ah this scene, later found out that big hearted guy is john candy and became big fan.
Kate's increasingly horrified reactions are so perfect
Gotta love it
You brought it up...
Two Canadian actors in this movie. Both are from Toronto.
Canadian Royalty John Candy 🇨🇦

''But I did leave one at a funeral parlor once.'' lmao
After 7 weeks he came around started talking again🤣🤣
Classic Candy !!!

"All day with a corpse"
...."but he's okay!"
The poor boy must’ve been traumatized for some time after being left in a funeral parlor with a corpse for hours. Who could blame him? I probably would be the same way.
Yeah
I came here from John's IMDB bio page.
Quick question, I’m 2021 can you still bring people in the back of that rental truck? Just curious…
All improv
cool runnings
😂 John Candy 💓 😂
This is the idea for the reboot/sequel/prequel/remake of home alone mark my words. Itll be like a yr or two be4 home alone so say 1989...88 and itll be called funeralhomealone
I'm going to say it. Home Alone would have been better without Kevin. I'd rather have had more with Candy and the parents.
Always wondered why he did such a small part
I think they probably included him because Home Alone was inspired from Uncle Buck. It's interesting because initially Chris had reservations about Mack being Kevin because he just cast him in UB. But he knew it had to be Mack
Gus and Eddy
To funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Uncle Buck?
Hilarious!!!!
It’s interesting that he didn’t mention therapy for that poor kid. That’s probably why it took 6 or 7 weeks for the kid to come around...
He's a touring Polka musician who has to ride around the country in the back of a rented moving truck, so I think that paying for a therapist probably wasn't going to happen.

Uncle Buck was a much better movie than Home Alone.

How Dare You. Home Alone Is Awesome.
This world is definitely big enough for both movies. They are both great.
They're both great, but I am sad UB never got the same attention
