I remember seeing this movie in Chicago when it was first released with my aunt. This is where I first seen Jonathan Winters & I remember that entire theater was full of nonstop laughter! My all time favorite comedy movie still to this day.
I could never begin to describe the explosive laughter and total pandemonium of the audience when I saw this scene in the film's first run. I dpn't think I've ever experienced an audience so delirious with laughter.
John, spot on! I saw on first release, age 11, and the audience was in hysterics by this scene, but these 6 minutes had the whole theater on the floor. There were people in the aisles doubled over. You could hardly hear the dialog. It was absolutely delirious. Closest I've ever come to that was the last 15 minutes of "Blazing Saddles." I just watched this again for the 50th time and laughed so hard I cried. ;)
@@John_Fugazzi 👍👍👍👍.Momentous John and the first time I saw this film I laughed till I cried too.Films like this are rare now and are light years behind the 60s n 70s. Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝
--technically it was my grandpa. we used to watch things like this I Love Lucy, The 3 Stooges, Fat and Skinny all the time. He really didn't believe in "modern tv".
LMAO! Speaking of the Incredible Hulk, remember these IMMORTAL words of the late Bill Bixby, aka "Dr. David Banner" from the opening credits of the TV series? : "Mr. McGee, don't make me angry -- you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!" :-)
The set designers did a great job in making a gas station out of thin balsa wood. It's absolutely perfect in detail. The little rest area to have your lunch was a nice and authentic looking touch; indicating Ray and Irwin also sold pre-made sandwiches.
this is the funniest scene,in one of the funniest,and cleanest,movies ever made. I watched this at a friends house when i was feeling very depressed and up set. I laughed my behind off !
Haaaa - this in my mind is only second to WC Field's It's a Gift as the funniest scene in American film history! "This man is insane! I'm not your nurse!!!" "Ray!!! He's craaaazy, he is really crazy!!!"
"Ray!? Looks like we're gonna have ta kill him!" LMAO!!! No other movie makes me laugh like this one does. Every time this movie comes on, if at all possible, I take the time to watch it again. And every time I laugh louder and harder than the time before. It just keeps getting funnier and funnier. I love it!
anytime I need a laugh all I have to do is have this run through my mind's eye to get the comic relief I need. Thanks for posting - JW was hysterical far superior to other present day shows who attempt humor but fall way short of the masters from yesteryear.
I didn't know until recently that Arnold Stang (Ray) had broken his left arm and it was in a light cast- covered by his white overalls.. Notice how he holds his left arm to protect it, how he makes major moves with his right hand. In spite of it all, he carried on with the scene.. a real professional.
TheCoolProfessor Can be used to exemplify: slapstick tradition in post-WWII-era movies, comical build-up and visual variation, scriptwriting techniques (how to make harmless fights look dangerous), prop-making in American cinema, timing in action-filled comedy and a lot more. :-)
I just finished watching a Doc on this film and they said that after this sequence, Phil Silvers had to go to the hospital because of all the tire hits he took to his crotch (lol) true story.
There's a story out there that the mayor or somebody local to the area where this was shot, was convinced that this was an actual actual gas station after it was constructed. A few days after shooting had wrapped, he drove by and famously said, "What happened to my gas station?" It's pretty awesome how much effort was put into this scene and and the rigging crew for making this all seem flawless.
Saw this as a new relese when I was a kid. Probably the all time funniest scene in any move ever. Just watched it again and I'm crying laughing. What a cast, what a riot. Love Johnathon Winters. The big brim hat was perfect.
Jonathan Winters stated in an interview that he did little improvisation in this movie because the script was so good. Also he had just gotten out of a mental institution in real life right before he made this movie, true story.
Anothwr great video! Cool to see you let loose with a HUGE setup! I did the same with my 80s Sonor kit back in 2019 when i had more drums than i knew what to do with. Its always fun to experiment with different setups. But sometimes the "less is more" approach is the best.
That's what it's great to be able to pause it, so you can recover a bit from one gag to the next. Watching the whole movie in one pass is effing exhausting because there's something going on, dialog or sight gag, that keeps you laughing all the way through. Incredible film editing job, BTW, to keep the pace to insane.
3:53 They cut out the part where Ray is hiding up in the rafters with a wrench ready to strike Pike. He misses and hits the light alerting Pike who then grabs him.
The fastest 6 minutes ive ever seen. NOTE.. This scene was all done in one take. The small guy was wearing an arm cast from a accident he had at home 2 weeks earlier. Double Note.. Winters was just release from a mental hospital prior to taking this role. So Phil Silvers was correct.. Jonaton was 'OFF HIS ROCKER" (a little bit). Before accepting this role..Jonathon was hesitiant (just coming home from the hospital) His wife said "if you dont accept this role..you probably will never work again" So off the went to Calironia. The rest is comedy history.
Arnold Stang (the skinny little guy) did this scene with a cast on his left arm, from a broken wrist. He was determined to do the scene even though director Stanley Kramer wanted to replace him. He and Marvin Kaplin were the perfect actors to go against Jonathan Winters.
As a point of useless trivia, one of the gas station attendants, Arnold Stang, starred in a film seven years later with a big dumb guy (like the Winters character here) called Arnold Strong. The big dumb guy eventually dropped his stupid stage name, won some bodybuilding contests, returned to filmmaking and we now know him as Arnold Schwarzenegger.
James - met him on his way to movie fame at dinner party (74'ish?), in Canada. He was smoking a cigar, jovial, a physically big person certain he was "going to be big in movies." Think Conan the Barbarian was released, not impressed, but he did come through in many aspects.
Приколы
After he tore down half of the building, he yells "You guys are gittin' outta line and I've had more than I can take!" LOL!
They crossed his red line.
I remember seeing this movie in Chicago when it was first released with my aunt. This is where I first seen Jonathan Winters & I remember that entire theater was full of nonstop laughter! My all time favorite comedy movie still to this day.
winters was nominated for a golden globe award for his performance in this classic film
I could never begin to describe the explosive laughter and total pandemonium of the audience when I saw this scene in the film's first run. I dpn't think I've ever experienced an audience so delirious with laughter.
It's the funniest movie of all time, I always get my laughter from this movie, I hope Turner Classic Movie bring it back on soon!

Stephen Peeples That was exactly my experience. You described it perfectly.

I guess I am kind of off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream newly released series online ?
I remember when I first saw this with my grandmother. She laughed so hard at this scene she fell off the couch and was convulsing in laughter!
same thing happened to me
Joseph Bacon same thing except my grandfather
"They will be stumbling over you in the dark"!.... LMAO
I just watched this and laughed so hard I cried . This is the funniest scene I've ever witnessed on film !
Thank you Johnathan Winters !
What a classic! They certainly don’t make them like this anymore. Hollywood has been out of ideas for decades.
And drugged out of their minds
"Okay...If that's the way you want it, that's the way you'll get it"! Levels the place LOL!
Funniest scene in the movie! Winters' out-of-control, hilarious rage here is such a wild contrast to his usual gentle, daffy brand of humor.
I just loved this movie when it came out in 1963 - it was so long though it had an intermission if I remember that right.
One of the funniest movies of all times. What a cast of brilliant actors and comedians. Non better and nothing compares to this classic comedy.
This was the highlight of one of the funniest movies ever made. Absolutely hysterical!
The best scene of any movie.
"fella's i'm gettin' really sore here I mean it!"
"Okay. That's the way ya wanna it, that's the way you're gonna get it!"
i used to watch this with my Papa all time. I miss him.
Your dad had great taste in comedy. Bless you.
--technically it was my grandpa. we used to watch things like this I Love Lucy, The 3 Stooges, Fat and Skinny all the time. He really didn't believe in "modern tv".
wildflower2176 Modern TV is garbage.
Yes I used to watch this with my dad alot too . He's gone also.. RIP to our father's
Pike is like the Incredible Hulk-he has such strength when he's pissed off.
LMAO! Speaking of the Incredible Hulk, remember these IMMORTAL words of the late Bill Bixby, aka "Dr. David Banner" from the opening credits of the TV series? :
"Mr. McGee, don't make me angry -- you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!"
:-)
Something tells me that place wasn't quite up to code.
Ya think? :)
The set designers did a great job in making a gas station out of thin balsa wood. It's absolutely perfect in detail. The little rest area to have your lunch was a nice and authentic looking touch; indicating Ray and Irwin also sold pre-made sandwiches.
"Irwin, we gonna have to kill him!" LOL
..."look me up I'm in the book. Dr. Zillman"....
this is the funniest scene,in one of the funniest,and cleanest,movies ever made. I watched this at a friends house when i was feeling very depressed and up set. I laughed my behind off !
Amazing it was done in one shot with no cuts, no special effects just fantastic acting from Winters and amazing set building!
I remember watching this movie in 1986 in Chikkamagaluru, Karnataka, India. The whole movie theater was shaking with laughter.
This absolutely was his finest hour, nothing else really came close to this masterpiece.
I saw this movie for the first time in the mid 70s. This scene was the first one I saw. I was immediately hooked.
Milton Burle:” he just went sailing out there”
Winters completely adlibed this scene and the other picked up on it and the rest is cinematic gold.
How could someone not like this scene? Absolute brilliance!
RIP Marvin Kaplan. Great character actor. Also voice of Top Cat. :(
Voice of Choo Choo. Arnold Stang was Top Cat.
+Andrew Morrice I stand corrected. Thank you.
+Andrew Morrice I stand corrected. Thank you.
And Arnold Stang is also in this scene!
..."This man is insane. I'm not your nurse !!!"...
when i first watched it with my dad last night, i almost died laughing
Haaaa - this in my mind is only second to WC Field's It's a Gift as the funniest scene in American film history! "This man is insane! I'm not your nurse!!!" "Ray!!! He's craaaazy, he is really crazy!!!"

And every time I laugh louder and harder than the time before. It just keeps getting funnier and funnier. I love it!
This is classic and I have to think it was a blast to do this scene!
What a great movie.Good clean fun.Great cast of old movie stars
anytime I need a laugh all I have to do is have this run through my mind's eye to get the comic relief I need. Thanks for posting - JW was hysterical far superior to other present day shows who attempt humor but fall way short of the masters from yesteryear.
Hilarious! Genius! Was thinking about this scene and I just knew someone had uploaded it. Thanks.
i work at a gas station and this kinda stuff happens all the time
It's not the fight stuff. It's his face!
I didn't know until recently that Arnold Stang (Ray) had broken his left arm and it was in a light cast- covered by his white overalls.. Notice how he holds his left arm to protect it, how he makes major moves with his right hand. In spite of it all, he carried on with the scene.. a real professional.
This was and still is so completely epic. :)
"Irwin, we're gonna have to kill him!" Love it!
Somehow I have to justify using this in my class! And that tuba music is hysterical!

What? LOL he really hurt another guy so hard
Phil Sulvers was at his typical best in this film
They just don't make gas stations like they used to!
S. Adam Bernstein The Mexicans would rip them off in a minute
TheMotorman i
THe line that keeps me coming back to this scene :
"We're gonna have to kill him"
“I’m not your nurse!” That line is so out of left field - it’s hilarious!! 😂
This film has so many moments, so many great commedians!

Yes it was....and it was the best scene in the film....and there were a lot of good ones.
I saw this as a kid on a black & white television,it stayed with me FOREVER!!!... EVERY SCENE IS CLASSIC!!!
Funny how both Ray and Irwin have glasses too.
They did this in one go. The station was so convincing that people were stopping by for gas.
Saw this as a new relese when I was a kid. Probably the all time funniest scene in any move ever. Just watched it again and I'm crying laughing. What a cast, what a riot. Love Johnathon Winters. The big brim hat was perfect.
One of the funniest scenes in any movie! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whoever designed and built this collapsing building should have got an Oscar.
Absolutely brilliant film
I just pissed myself from laughing. Thanks for posting.
The demolition of the gas station is hilarious, the two souls have their whole business destroyed and none of it is their fault!
I went to the movies with my dad who never laughed because life was tough back then. This movie made him laugh. A highlight for me in my life.
I love his shrug when he sees the tow truck “fuck it, this’ll do”
This whole movie is brilliant!
Jonathan Winters stated in an interview that he did little improvisation in this movie because the script was so good. Also he had just gotten out of a mental institution in real life right before he made this movie, true story.
Legend is my uncle stopped breathing in the movie theater he was laughing so hard.

I've never been able to watch this whole movie- I keep missing things because I'm too busy laughin' my ASS off!
That's what it's great to be able to pause it, so you can recover a bit from one gag to the next. Watching the whole movie in one pass is effing exhausting because there's something going on, dialog or sight gag, that keeps you laughing all the way through.

Common problem! This is the funniest movie ever! Epic comedy!
Director: Can we shoot the last ten seconds in one take?
Cameraman: "Hold my beer. Look who's driving".
Classic movie, no other words
They did this in one take.
Next to Jackie Gleason and Art Carney doing the Hucklebuck, the funniest six minutes of the 20th Century.
"We're going to have to kill him" (lol)
Funniest scene in the film by far,those two garage guys are just hilarious..!!!!
Famous last words: "Now you fellas keep this up, and I'm gonna get sore!"
Best part of the entire movie
Ok....if that's the way you want it - THAT'S THE WAY YOU GONNA GET-IT!!!!
Physical type comedy. You can’t beat it! I wonder if all that destruction was filmed in one take???
Coca Cola must've been a product placement, since they have it here and later on we see Pike and Finch drinking some.
Yeah, and how about the Coke dispenser Winters throws Stang onto, then pushes the machine and Arnold through a wall!
Don't forget the Coke billboard that Buddy Hackett and Mickey Rooney crash through in the airplane later on.
they omitted the opening clip. It was the grand opening of the station.
My favorite part
Funniest movie ever made. Period.
One of the Funniest Movies in History!!!
Uh huh, there you are!
Funniest scene, ever.
at 3:34...."uh huh...there you are...."
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHAYAAAAAAAAA!" -- Irwin and Ray
you broke my arm, you broke my arm
He makes it look so easy.
3:53
They cut out the part where Ray is hiding up in the rafters with a wrench ready to strike Pike. He misses and hits the light alerting Pike who then grabs him.
Watch him, Ray! Watch hiiim!!
Max Power 😂😆🤣😂😆"Ohhh!!! My arm's broke! My arm's broke!" Ha, ha, ha!! Hilarious!
Phil Silvers shares this scene,with his cartoon counter part, the undisputable TopCat!
The fastest 6 minutes ive ever seen.
NOTE..
This scene was all done in one take.
The small guy was wearing an arm cast from a accident he had at home 2 weeks earlier.
Double Note..
Winters was just release from a mental hospital prior to taking this role. So Phil Silvers was correct..
Jonaton was 'OFF HIS ROCKER" (a little bit).
Before accepting this role..Jonathon was hesitiant (just coming home from the hospital)
His wife said "if you dont accept this role..you probably will never work again"
So off the went to Calironia.
The rest is comedy history.
The funniest film of all time
Just remember: If the oddsmakers ever hit up you on Jonathan Winters vs. any mid-sized freestanding structure...put everything you've got on Winters.
Say a prayer for Ray & Irwin...😇
Jonathan Winters, Phil Silvers, and Arnold Stang -- what more do you want?
This movie was before fart humor and it is none stop belly laughs l can't get. Enough of it
Arnold Stang (the skinny little guy) did this scene with a cast on his left arm, from a broken wrist. He was determined to do the scene even though director Stanley Kramer wanted to replace him.
He and Marvin Kaplin were the perfect actors to go against Jonathan Winters.
need to buy this movie
I could have seen Chris Farley doing this in a remake
Jesus, he tore that building down like it was made of cardboard.
Sounds like a Country-Western song.
*PIKE SMASH!!!!!!!!!!*

3:28- no toilets in the bathrooms
they were out houses
Dale Marcum Okay... 3:28- NO TOILETS IN THE OUTHOUSES.
funny
