I guess the story is that they were both having a hard time maintaining straight faces, so the filmmakers thought it'd be easier just to shoot it with them cracking up. I guess they were laughing not so much at what she was saying between takes but her thick Wisconsin accent 😂
Edie McClurg always steals the scenes she is in - I remember her in Planes, trains and automobiles, Cheech & Chongs next movie - she is so talented & an absolute hoot!
Keith Gordon killed it in this movie. I have a Back to School poster that has almost every cast member's signature-- even Robert Downey, Jr., (I got them all myself in person) but I don't have Keith's, d@mn it.
Keith Gordon cracking up is great, I don’t think that was scripted. But how could you not be in a scene with Edie McClurg and NOT crack up? I don’t think she ever had a moment on film where she wasn’t hilarious.
If you get caught saying that as a professor, you will be lucky if you still are a professor by next week. This violates so many university-regulations...
@@alexisdiva9 I didn't even know about that movie. I've just known of 3 movies she was in; Back to school, Ferris Bueller, and Planes, trains, automobiles
@@DANSABEATS Ferris Bueller and Back To School may have or were very close if those are the two you are talking about. Carrie would have been about ten years earlier.
I find it ironic that Thornton Mellon is a millionaire business tycoon and the teacher is just a professor of business. Think I'd drop that class and listen to Mellon instead.
@@AnnusMirabilus, yes, it's a funny scene, the whole classroom scene. The other students also realize that the millionaire tycoon knows even more about business than the professor, even if not all of Thorton's business practices are conventional, such as bribes and "greasing the polititions". Those tycoons still become rich and successful. Thorton sure didn't need to be enrolled in college when he's already so successful, he's only doing it to aid and help his son.
I had business professors in college who were business professors because in the real world they failed spectacularly at business. The same was true with project management.
Edie McClurg was also in the movie "Carrie" as one of the girls wh bullies Carrie. In the film she's wearing dark framed glasses. She reminds me of "Velma" from "Scooby Doo"😂😂
She was my old school bus driver from high school took me and Danny to the Work Program because my school is going to Take my little Edie McClurg Squeezebox from High school in because I'm dealing with transitions and Ramis Promotion for a 5 day adult schedule
Trivia fact: both Edie McClurg and Keith Gordon both starred in Stephen King films. Edie McClurg was in Carrie (1976) as Helen Shyres, the girl with the glasses. Keith Gordon plays Arnie in Christine
I don’t know what I like best about Paxton Whitehead, his smooth voice or his English accent. Both sound great together, but I can’t choose which I like more.
Actress Edie McBlurg as Marge Sweetwater was................ AWESOME ! also hysterically funny in "Cheech & Chong's Next Movie", and many other movies....
Funny part is.HE wouldn't really need to pass. He was all ready out he world making money hand over fist. While this chomp would still be stuck in classroom. Teaching kids stuff that didn't apply in the real world
That is partially correct. FDR delinked the value of the dollar to gold. LBJ signed a bill eliminating the reserve note backing by gold Nixon ended the convertibility of the US dollar into gold in international transactions, thus killing the Bretton Woods Agreement and putting the final nail in the coffin of the gold standard. I'm not an expert, but I think all three played a role in taking us off the gold standard. FDR started the process, Nixon finished it, and LBJ was probably the most responsible.
That she can stare calmly without blinking, and smile with that elfin smile is endearing.
That's Ed Rooney's secretary in Ferris Bueller's Day Off 😂
It’s also Ms Poole. Lol
10 years later, Helen Shyres is in college and had survived The Black Prom
GRACE!
Also the airline worker in planes, trains and automobiles.
@@mrHoppedupford, yep, Steve Martin's F bomb rant.
I love her! She was in so many great films, what a wonderful character actor. GRACE!
Also a weekly TV show
.
"Oh boy what?"
"You're f+cked."
@@georgehenderson7783 "Planes, Trains, And Automobiles."
@@brian197686 John Hughs' crown jewel. Wonderful movie.
@@georgehenderson7783 I love the 80's. Great movies.
Mellon's kid cracking up is the best part.
Almost EVERYONE is cracking up.
Over acting. Cringe
It’s not even acting, the actor genuinely couldn’t stop from cracking up so they kept it in.
@@FastEddie3000Not even.
I always found it hilarious how Keith Gordon is cracking up during this scene!
So is the black guy behind them.
I guess the story is that they were both having a hard time maintaining straight faces, so the filmmakers thought it'd be easier just to shoot it with them cracking up. I guess they were laughing not so much at what she was saying between takes but her thick Wisconsin accent 😂
Keith tries to hide his laughter throughout most of his scenes with Rodney Dangerfield. Dont blame him.
Yea i was thinking was it scripted or just couldnt help laughing.
@@SRP3572 That's really good directing because honestly it makes the scene even funnier
The guy behind the secretary trying to (and failing to) keep from cracking up as Keith Gordon is the best part of this scene
That's what makes the scene even better.
She was so hilarious AND brilliant in this and especially Ferris Bueller’s Day Off as Grace, the school secretary.
Edie McClurg always steals the scenes she is in - I remember her in Planes, trains and automobiles, Cheech & Chongs next movie - she is so talented & an absolute hoot!
Sad she is suffering from Dementia now 2022.
And she was Herb Tarlek's wife on WKRP In Cincinnati.
I think she's also Carlotta from the Little Mermaid (1989).
She was the next door neighbor in "The Hogan Family" and "Small Wonder"
She was Helen Shyres in Carrie (1976)
"But professor, everyone thinks Mr. Mellon is a righteous dude"
Especially geeks, sportos, motorheads, and one pissed off cursing Steve Martin who can't get back to Chicago for Thanksgiving
But he wasn't.
Jason is just losing it. Dying with laughter.
So is the guy right behind them, he takes off his glasses and loses it... it's hilarious
@@kevingreen2400 he tried to hold it together but didn't succeed
That was unscripted
She was also Herb Tarlek's wife on WKRP in Cincinnati. Appeared in a few episodes...
I love the fact Mellons son busted out laughing .
I heard that was not orognally scripted
Keith Gordon reaction makes this scene 😂😂😂😂
Keith Gordon killed it in this movie. I have a Back to School poster that has almost every cast member's signature-- even Robert Downey, Jr., (I got them all myself in person) but I don't have Keith's, d@mn it.
I love this movie. Pull the dvd out once a year

It wasn’t scripted, he couldn’t stop so they kept it in.
She was hilarious in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
I really hope she got to play more than this one character type in her career, but damn she's amazing at it.
She cussed out Steve Martin in I think "Planes Trains and Automobiles".😂
Edie McClurg had a small part as an LA swinger in the 1982 flick "Eating Raoul" also featuring several regulars from Andy Warhol's Factory!
She was hilarious in planes trains and automobiles
If you get caught saying that as a professor, you will be lucky if you still are a professor by next week. This violates so many university-regulations...
She's literally the same character as the secretary for Ed Rooney in Farris Bueller.
And the lady at the rental counter in Planes Trains and Automobiles
@Snotty Boi20 yes, Edie McClure played mean girl Helen Shyres in the original (1976) version of "Carrie"
Yup! Didn't both movies come out on the same day?
@@alexisdiva9 I didn't even know about that movie. I've just known of 3 movies she was in; Back to school, Ferris Bueller, and Planes, trains, automobiles

I find it ironic that Thornton Mellon is a millionaire business tycoon and the teacher is just a professor of business. Think I'd drop that class and listen to Mellon instead.
The professor was jealous of Thorton's success, and didn't like being corrected by him and made to look bad.
There is a scene in which Mellon lectures the professor as the class takes notes about what *he* is saying.
@@AnnusMirabilus, yes, it's a funny scene, the whole classroom scene.

Melon sure doesn't need to be in college when he's already a rich successful businessman. But I do know that he's only there to help his son.

He's a righteous Dude.
She would’ve been perfect for Fargo!
Edie McClurg is so awesome!
00:41 He literally face hugged himself. Hahahaaa
Love her !
Same character in this, Ferris Bueller and I think the Rent-a-Car lady in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

0:40-0:43
Was Jason, and the guy behind him, cracking up unexpectedly?
I didn't know she was the secretary from Ferris Bueller's Day Off 😂😂😂😂😂
We've got Arnie from Christine and Grace from Ferris Bueller's Day off
Jasons facepalming at 0 30 hilarious
This lady plays the same person in every part she's in. I'm wondering if that bridges all the movies lol
She was the neighbor and Harriets mom on Small Wonder.
She has been in some classic films. You go Marge! Ferris Beuller’s Day Off as well!
I'm Marge Sweetwater, Mr. Thorton Melons private secretary.
So sad of her passing and enduring Elder abuse for years.
You would think Phillip would pass Thornton Mellon so he can get him out of his class.
Very beautiful actress, always loved her
Trivia fact: both Edie McClurg and Keith Gordon both starred in Stephen King films. Edie McClurg was in Carrie (1976) as Helen Shyres, the girl with the glasses. Keith Gordon plays Arnie in Christine

A STAPLE of 80s film.... Ferris Beuhlers Day Off...."He's a rightous dude"... With that voice............🤣
Brilliant scene.
Not in this scene, but RIP to "Dean Martin". Ned Beatty passed away over the weekend.
The professor said that he will never pass this course… I dont think he gives a hoot lol
Lol. Now no one would even notice since there are so many laptops taken to class.
She was perfect in every role she ever played
10 years later, Helen Shyres is in college and survived the black prom
Ahhh...Marathon Car Rental lady from Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Awesome college professor 😆. Wow!
Wonderful actress!
My Little Edie McClurg Squeezebox from high school
There's a guy at the coffee shop with a typewriter. So I'm blasting this clip in his direction.

Love the MOVIE !!🤣😃😂😂😃
Edie McClurg is amazing
We love this movie 🥰
We love you Edie McClurg
Notice how Jason Mellon was laughing but after Dr Bombay said he would necrr pass his class... he was no.longer laughing
I bet she's the kind of woman who does not know what a reservation is.. Gobble Gobble..
Never underestimate the drawing power of the Garden State.
Mr. Mellon is a righteous dude....
I also liked:
"Here, have a pen"
"Hey I know you, you're Tall and fat"
"Well you're short and ugly, give me the pen back"
Absolutely BRILLIANT writing - (and acting) too by the way. Comedy sucks now, like pretty much everything else...
Edie is so cute
Miss Sweetwater I'm Mr melons private secretary Jason facepalming priceless it's sad that Rodney Sam and b u r t aren't with us now
Burt young still alive
What a threat
Mrs. Poole!
Them there are fightin’ words
You will Neh-vah. Eh-VAH. Pass this course.
You wonder why Thorny isn't there and has Marge doing this for him.
Marge Sweetwater is so compliant and huggable. Dontcha just love her to pieces ??????
She also did cheech & chong movie
I'm taking no-n-n-no-no-notes for Mr. Melon
The typewriter and keyboard will kill us all
What is that clicking noise?
Why is Dr. Barbay just lecturing here? What happened to the plan to build the widget factory?
1:35: Me: That’s hurtful, man.
She failed college and got a job for a car rental agency at an airport.
She was also in Carrie……
She played in Plane trains & automobiles...pushed off Steve Martin ^^^^^^^
Rosie fuking cheeks!
The old saying goes those who can- DO! Those who can’t-TEACH!🤡
Back To School & Ferris Bueller exist in the same cinematic universe? Cool
Actually I don't see a problem here!
graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaceeee graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaceeeeee
But did she keep taking notes?
Secretary from faris bueller!
Who's her better boss - Ed Rooney or Thorton Mellon
Melon of course. Rooney is just an employee no different than her. Melon is an owner. Takes balls to be an owner.
"When u look at a menu and say ok"
Funny part is.HE wouldn't really need to pass. He was all ready out he world making money hand over fist. While this chomp would still be stuck in classroom. Teaching kids stuff that didn't apply in the real world
Ah, so I see you chose death....
Nixon did not take us off the gold standard. It was FDR during his 1st term as president and as such introduced us to inflation.
Correct, but Nixon made it worse when he refused to honor any foreign creditor who demanded he be repaid in gold.
That is partially correct.
FDR delinked the value of the dollar to gold.
LBJ signed a bill eliminating the reserve note backing by gold
Nixon ended the convertibility of the US dollar into gold in international transactions, thus killing the Bretton Woods Agreement and putting the final nail in the coffin of the gold standard.
I'm not an expert, but I think all three played a role in taking us off the gold standard. FDR started the process, Nixon finished it, and LBJ was probably the most responsible.
Marge Sweetwater
Give Me A Long Kiss Goodnight And Everything Will Be Alright Tell Me Edie I Won't Feel A Thing
Welcome to marathon may I help you?
Write this down. Give me a Dodge a Buick a Mustang 4 wheels and a seat.
While she wasn't on camera, she played the old lady with the giant goiter on Seinfeld.
So there's something else Nixon did.
