fun fact: parker actually had braces put in because she wanted to correct her teeth...the dude had fake braces but they kept slipping and it gave him a lisp..which you can hear.
@@FreshSpecimens I feel a lot of us ARE represented in this movie, but we don't see it/admit it, because we (fortunately) have had a slightly milder verison of the latte that they had, so to speak.
The first time I saw this, I wasn't sure if it was actually a documentary, because the dead-pan was so goddam good. This cast is among the Monty Pythons of the world, that is basically HOF level, traveling SNL. Incredible humor and writing.
I love seeing Parker -almost- break character by laughing, but then she incorporates it into the performance and follows it up with something completely hysterical. I was crying laughing at this scene when I first saw the movie
Nothing makes me laugh more than watching people's manic idiosyncrasies. Christopher Guest knows how to make the audience laugh!!!! The small touches as well, consider the close-up and head tilt from Parkey Posey, with her mouth full of metal. Makes me laugh out loud. BRILLIANT!!!!
The thing is is that most of this was improvised! All the dialog, mannerisms, etc. Around a central theme and dialog but you can almost see it unfold behind you which is the brilliance of these actors putting this together. Had to be extremely satisfying for Chris to watch right in front of him
"We are so lucky to have been raised amongst catalogues....Oh it's so much easier, especially since you don't have to deal with people as much." ...These two were the original Amazon customers and now we're all like them.
They totally nailed the way some married people act around strangers: like they have to impress when in reality they have a lot of trouble, but are afraid to leave.
"We met at Starbucks... not the same Starbucks. We saw each other at different Starbucks from across the street from each other". That line is the best. Its so true how Starbucks have completely over saturated the country.
There is a corner in SF near Moscone Center that has a Starbucks and another one across the street. When I saw that, this scene came to mind. They were probably less than 100 feet from each other.
Honestly I think these are my favorite characters in the movie. They’re in it less than the others but every time Hamilton and Meg are on screen it’s pure hilarity.
Weird to remember that there was a time when it was absurd and funny that there’d be two Starbucks across the street from each other. Now it’s just a fact of life that there’s one on every corner.
These two are definitely some of the better characters they've ever created. I wonder what percentage of these movies is completely unscripted and improv.
+Christopher Johnson, All of them. Guest and Levy write an outline and a complete back story but the dialogue is all improvised by the actors. Guest will tell them in a particular scene that they must go from point A to point B or C but it's up to the actor to improve and make up the dialogue.
Literally my favorite movie couple of all time. I pair their brace filled smiles with Jackson Brown’s “ Lawyers in Love.” I do feel sorry for that poopie movie dog, sometimes.
When I got my braces at 13 yo it hurt my mouth so bad I didn't speak for a year. An actor getting braces for a role, and having to speak, doing re-rakes and voice exercises...man that is insane. Actors who brag about putting on or looking weight for a role has nothing on these two legends. If you're wondering, it feels like you have barbed wire under your lips. You can hear them both struggling with the discomfort, and it just adds to the scene. You can hear how
People born after a certain time wouldn't even understand the humor in this scene because people these types have become a norm in society. If you don't "get it" just know that 17 years ago these types of people were worthy of parody.
Here in Houston there used to be two Starbuckses across the street from one another at the River Oaks Shopping Center. Alas, that was pre-pandemic . . .
I was just thinking of this exact spot when I saw this clip. I'd also include the B&N next door to one of them (since they serve Starbucks there even if it's not technically one).
Just came back from a vacation to NY. Stayed in Manhattan for a week. Awesome trip. NY is truly the best city in world. That being said, I believe I ran into these two people at, can you believe it, a Starbucks.
We are so lucky to have been raised amongst catalogues.
That line kills me every time. 🤣
Same, that was a great line. Lol
“Reading J Crew”!!!!!!!!😅
Sears Christmas Wish Book was incredible. Drooling over all those toys!
That, and "...what have you been saying?" 😂
The adult braces...it's the perfect finishing touch.
Such an underrated movie
agree ahahahahaha!!!! so good
Parker was already really cute but the braces made her 10x cuter.
fun fact: parker actually had braces put in because she wanted to correct her teeth...the dude had fake braces but they kept slipping and it gave him a lisp..which you can hear.
This scene is everything. I have neighbors (both are attorneys) that don't have kids and just one dog. They act just like this, so great!
Jake Lane I feel like a lot of us know people who are represented in this movie. 🤣

i remember not finding this scene entertaining when i first saw this film....now this scene is hilarious....well done ;

They're simultaneously adorable and insufferable as a couple
Because the acting is flawless. This is exactly what director wanted.
We realize that.
@@severetiredamage6754 you sure showed me how dare I comment on a video
They remind me of my aunt and uncle.
Well said. Her braces ? Lol yuppy preppy all in one .

The braces were Parker and Michael's idea.

They are the post covid-19 future.
Parker is perfection in every scenes
Michael Hitchcock was one of my teachers at The Groundlings. Great teacher and beautiful person.
Lucky you. I think he's very very talented.
One of the BEST comedies of ALL time! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Parker Posey is awesome!!!, but not just Parker ~ the ENTIRE cast!
This movie was 20 years ahead of its time. People are still working on their Macs in Starbucks.
the sky was blue in that movie too. 20 years on, it still is! :O
so true brother. so true.
That was a running joke in the 1990s (late 90s into the early 2000s).
This was actually before Macs had their resurgence.
"Or not..." The two words that are the key to happiness in our times... such as it is.
They totally nailed the way some married people act around strangers: like they have to impress when in reality they have a lot of trouble, but are afraid to leave.
Shhh🤭 let those types think we all can't read between the lines
The sign of a well done scene-you completely forget these two are actors, you just accept them as real people
One of my favorite of their bits in this movie was when they would argue with each other like they were dogs barking.
"We met at Starbucks... not the same Starbucks. We saw each other at different Starbucks from across the street from each other". That line is the best. Its so true how Starbucks have completely over saturated the country.
And that was 2000 that whole thing hadn’t even really developed yet
“We were so lucky to be raised amongst catalogues” is subtly hilarious to me.
That line can also be perfectly attributed to Dunkin Donuts here in the northeast. It's crazy how many Dunkins there are in a one-mile radius.
She says lactose intolerant like he has cancer. Fantastic.
I know, right?!😂😂😂
Her facial expressions at 1:46 get me every time lol
Parker Posey is a National Treasure

Fantastic improv on a single take. Their later scene at the hotel when they're selecting outfits is my fav!
01:20 "awh yeah... soy... yeah... mmmhmmm... you're lactose intolerant now!" I can't see screen through the tears! Too perfect!
Parker Posey NEEDS to play Katharine Hepburn in a biopic one day. She’ll for sure win an Oscar for it.
This movie had so many great scenes .
Masterful improv.
0:59 oh wow, that laugh. 😆😆😆😆
One of the best dialogue scenes in cinematic history. Fight me.

This couple has become so much less outside the mainstream over these past 20 years 🤣🤣🤣
These two are hilarious! They're both so stressed out!
I love that a grande espresso is sixteen shots of espresso, my guy was getting wired
“Working on my Mac” 😂
omg jokes about starbucks in 2000. wow
Literally my favorite movie couple of all time. I pair their brace filled smiles with Jackson Brown’s “ Lawyers in Love.” I do feel sorry for that poopie movie dog, sometimes.
Because of the lactose.
You’re lactose intolerant now.
Mhm.
I always thought that was so funny.
And the look on her face, lol!
The way he said it 😂😂😂
That's the best part🤣🤣🤣
Easily one of the greatest most underrated shows of all time
love the interjection of "big ol'" before chai tea latte soy milk. it's the little things.
These guys are great! Christopher Guest had the perfect cast for his movies.
Smarmy...? Yup. Ms. Posey at 1:46. Classic 🤣
The LL Bean catalog 😆
I love all the yuppie stereotypes. 🤣
Lol, two Starbucks across the street from each other. Lol so damn true.
"Working on my Mac" I know SO MANY horrific Apple people, just like this.
In addition to being incredibly beautiful Parker is flat-out hilarious
This scene is brilliant
Revolting! Christopher guest captured it perfectly.
I swear their is no script in half this scene really funny omg
He's so good.
the braces were a brilliant touch

Spot on...
"my orvis slippers?"
hilarious and went completely over my head as a kid
"reading" J-Crew :)
I can’t help but laugh from beginning to end of this clip...😂
Walking the dog on a treadmill, while also walking on a treadmill is such a look.
One of the funniest movies ever,no silly shit,
Every time I see two Starbucks next to each other I think of this scene.
Here in Houston there used to be two Starbuckses across the street from one another at the River Oaks Shopping Center. Alas, that was pre-pandemic . . .

Hahahahaaaaaa@her dazed, glazed, far off look at 1:47..and those braces!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We all have a Sister or Relatives like this, Unfortunately. 🤣😂
Didn't realize it was all about their braces and the 's' sibilant till a minute in. Brilliant comedy.
I didn’t notice his braces until the LL Bean catalog part 😆
Love this movie !
Comic gold. Best In Show.
hahaha! This is my favorite scene. So hilarious and real. This is why I don't go to Starbucks. haha
1:23 That far-off look of disgust when she thinks about his lactose intolerance gets me everytime.
Lmao, I hope Guest can come out with a new mockumentary like this in the next few years! That’d be sick!
I’m assuming they’re talking about the Starbucks on Robson Street in Vancouver
This came out in 2000 bro really perceptive that whole thing had just started
"Sometimes."
it feels like this whole scene was improvised.
It was. The whole movie is.
He’s so good!
parker posie is off the grid in this what a nutty professor
Reminds me so much of my brother and sister-in-law, both of whom are obsessed with Starbucks, LL Bean and went to law school.
Relationship goals right here
GO GET BUSY BEE
"yeah, soy, yeah" I wonder if Hamilton goes on Reddit...
Omg I forgot that people used to order stuff from catalogs over the phone
She’s so magnetic
Parker's face at 1:27.
Amazing life story
Brilliance.
Starbucks was a joke 21 years ago. And it's an even bigger joke now.
Paul Fussel - Class decodes this train wreck perfectly
This movie foresaw Starbucks taking over the world.
this isnt fair to ANY Weimeraner
Sometimes I worry if people are judging me.
That Starbucks joke wouldn't have hit home if I hadn't visited Seattle in the mid 90s.
Sometimes… Starbucks
Super brilliant lmao
Great funny movie,no silly scenes.
We are SO lucky to have been raised around catalogs 😅
Parker Posey is so funny.
That is one huge house for two people and a dog.
