0:25 The comedic timing here is so perfect. The music begins to sweep up as he walks off stage like a doofus all with that giant grin across his face. Then it cuts to his crew who are just standing there, stiff as logs with these blank expressions on their faces. And the camera stays on them just like a millisecond too long, making it so awkward and funny. Then it cuts back to the captain who now changes up his walk to an even goofier one and begins to sing. Then it cuts back to his crew who previously could have been played by mannequins, now spring out of their spots and click their heels. It’s perfect. Cinematic beauty. Also right before at 0:21 they do that shuffle and it just adds to the beauty.
Well yeah, this outward cheerfulness is unseemly of a Naval Captain. A happy Captain is focused, serene, and concerned primarily with the operation of his ship. A captain ill-at-ease seeks excessive intimacy with his crew. It's the same moral as the first few episodes of Our Flag Means Death.

So the captain is just saying hi to his crew you know his buds they’re having a gay old time singing seas shanties and things. But then this lady comes down and... “sir you are sad” And me: quite lady you’re ruining it!

Thats why its a play taking the piss out off a certain story in the RN with a good captain .. over the top good.. and a really bad usless admiral above him who never actually was in the Navy.
This is crazy how he didn’t even have to explain what he meant by never heard a quail of a fury of a gale .. . Just by the crews reaction alone I could tell 😂
I've just recently begun listening to Gilbert and Sullivan and sing some of their tunes around the house but I can't remember the lyric to this song... I just keep singing the family guy version lol.
Tv movie, by the bbc (shown on pbs) this is one of the worst ptoductions of the series, Frankie Howerd was the only saving grace. Their productions of Iolanthe and Patience are much better

A beautiful analysis and I wholeheartedly agree. The choreography and cinematography are very well combined.
He's dancing and cheerful and woman shows up with 'sir you're sad'.
Typical. A guy is happy when he's out with his buds then a girl shows up and brings the misery lol

I'm here because of family guy
I used to listen to classics such as this sung by the F.B.I Light Opera Society on long car rides through cactus fields with my family.
So the captain is just saying hi to his crew you know his buds they’re having a gay old time singing seas shanties and things. But then this lady comes down and... “sir you are sad”
And me: quite lady you’re ruining it!
Sideshow Bob: I'll send your ears to heaven before I send you to hell.

Stewie brought you here to?
I like the way the crew did "The Curley Shuffle" at 2:14.
"A plump and pleasing person"...right there with ya captain...right there. Nowadays we call it thicc but i see we share similar tastes lol
Mark, when you played the part of "Captain" in elementary school, I don't remember you singing in that kind of voice. I remember it was sort of yelling, however we were really proud of you!!!!!
Sideshow bob you have great taste!
I'm exceedingly enjoying this!!!
By the way, "using the big big D" is saying the word "damn". I guess people were a lot more mild mannered back in the day.
that one sailor at 1:37 that looses his hat is hilarious to me.
0:26 When I make an awkward comment at Thanksgiving. But still want more mashed potatoes.
If the Simpsons didn't bring you here than I'm sorry. Side show Bob puts a good show on.

The chumminess of the captain does not correspond to my father's description of such a life in the navy... like... at all.
Thats why its a play taking the piss out off a certain story in the RN with a good captain .. over the top good.. and a really bad usless admiral above him who never actually was in the Navy.
they are GROOVING
Stewie from family guy brought me here
Me too
same here
Yup
yeah
Ditto.
Simpsons and Family Guy must have a real sense of culture for using this musical
I FOUND IT AFTER YEARS OF SEARCHING. THE ORIGIN OF FAMILY GUY'S SONG CAPTAIN OF THE QUEENS NAVY
The mikado, also by gilbert and sullivan, is the origin of Family Guy's "I've got a little list" song
0:26 When you just took the most unholy shit and walk out past the missus waiting to use the bathroom.
Zany G&S. This Captain had me laughing so hard..
As a former child and grandchild of sailors. I never heard them sing anything like this. Maybe in secret. :P
Captain has had a good go at the rum.....
"Sir, you are sad!"
(Cries a little bit) "No! I'm not! (Sniffles a bit) Y-you're sad! I'm n-not crying! You're crying!"
Women
Loved this version. Very good.
Very good, indeed EXCELLENT!

Yo this guy has got some fucking moves son.

Stuff like this can be directly blamed for us eventually being infected with stuff like Snoop Dogg and Madonna!!!!
Its stuck in my head

This captain is a little bouncy than all the captain in this, just saying
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle brought me here lol

Me, didn't know they based it off this
Going to FamilyGuy next 😁
Yup right here
This campy shit gets my rocks off, this guy's the shit!
Family Guy, Simpsons, Tracey Ullman, Benny Hill.... funny how this was used as a base over several generations. Talk about staying power

Ah, the way men USED to sail.
This performance is the best in my opinion

.....
did they ever perform this on a real ship?
That's Hollywood Square's Peter Marshall !
Before or after his unfortunate demise?
Riker when Picard isn't around
That captain is a little too creepy and jovial for my liking. Was he supposed to be like that?
“But I’d rather get it on with you hahaha”
Stewie brought you here to?
The singing is on point but what’s going on with the dancing 😂
That's what I'm saying 🤣
The Captain could be Peter Marshall?
It is
I feel as though the captain in this would be better suited to the Major General in Pirates of Penzance.
I doubt he would, he wasn't even watchable on ths Hollywood Squares
The Hand that Rocks The Cradle "
Family guy and stewie
They could’ve tried tricking us by putting water in the background atl lol
0:00 - He expands and then collapses the telescope, but then expands it again for no apparent reason at 0:23
Why does this remind me of Monty Python.
The actor playing the captain looks familiar.

Great movie!!
Is that Peter Marshall as Captain Corcoran????
He seems like a good captain honestly 🤣, I guess no real captain is this polite cause sailors are known for the exact opposite
What Never... Hardly Ever!!!
Family Guy brought me here.
Is this from the play or a film version. If its the play I'm surprised people aren't laughing at all, shit's hilarious
Film
Tv movie, by the bbc (shown on pbs) this is one of the worst ptoductions of the series, Frankie Howerd was the only saving grace.
Their productions of Iolanthe and Patience are much better
My gallant crew, good morning!
Weird that the production with the best captain has one of the worst admirals
You forgot about Captain Tanneal from MXC. Although Guy LeDouche is my favorite character.
Which production is that? Frankie Howerd was the only good thing in this one
You obviously don't much care for music
Family guy is awesome with a remake of this song with different words
Sideshow bob in the simpsons also did a fantastic job
