@H M It is about a peach. Actually, it might be interesting to see what Peter might write for a children's book. I know that he does have children, so he does have some experience.
@allys744 That's right, it was very funny. Buddy did the same thing to the racoon in the beginning of the movie putting his arms out where the racoon hissed at him causing him to back away at first but then continued trying to hug the racoon. Perhaps if Mr. Miles hissed at him, maybe Buddy would have backed away but only thought Mr. Miles ran to him to hug him.
@@cadefilms4072 That's correct. Since Buddy thought Mr. Miles was an elf, he thought Mr. Miles was running up to him to hug him. Perhaps maybe Walter should have said "Buddy, he's a midget and not an elf and some humans are born shorter and they're called midgets." After that Walter could have said "I'm sorry Mr. Miles, he's been living in the North Pole his whole life with other elves which is why he called you one."
Yep. I just commented the same thing. He got lucky and was able to use this scene to channel a lifetime of pentup rage against people who messed with him.
Dwarves usually are very good at attracting women, with their reputation of having a third leg as long as the other two legs (lol). Remember in Austin Power's Goldmember in the scene with Mini Me (Verne Troyer) and Michael Caine's character saying about dwarves, they're Tripods!
I like to imagine that they simply gave Peter Dinklage his lines without telling him one bit about Will Ferrel's character, and then they just let the whole thing play out.
@@Cedar_Wolf “Hey so we know you probably hate short jokes, but check this out; We’re gonna have Will Ferrell come in dressed like an elf straight from Santa’s workshop, and you’re just gonna whoop his ass. Sound like fun?”
What perfect writing, directing and acting in this scene. I love how Buddy's complete and utter innocence reads as the meanest condescension, particularly that "Is that riiiiiiight?" eyebrow raise he does. Ba ha ha! Classic.
Buddy was pretty damn stupid for continuing to push Miles Finch, even after not only his dad made it more than clear that he was disrupting an important meeting, and not only after Miles himself warned him that he better stop, but even after Miles attacked him and said "call me elf one more time!!!". I really understood James Cann's (Buddy's dad's) reaction after Miles stormed out. I still found it funny when Buddy said "he must be a South Pole elf"
PLOT TWIST: Dinklage, infuriated with Ferrell’s changing of the script and insulting of his figure, attacks the actor and storms out of the set. James Caan, bring the professional he is, just yells “Miles!” instead of “Peter!” as he leaves so they can still use the scene.
@@CovidVirginThey're right about the first part. The joke is about a condition that someone can't change, and how it's apparently funny and ok to laugh at someone who deals with it. Treating people like they're walking jokes over something they can't control *is* bigotry.
I found out something very interesting about Peter Dinklage. In his entire movie career not once has he ever done any typical dwarf roles. According to him being a dwarf actor is extremely hard when you're trying to land serious roles. He was picky. He worked hard. And eventually he landed the roles he wanted to. Which eventually led him to becoming the number one most popular dwarf in Hollywood. Dave Acuna is ranked second. And Brad Williams is third.
Narnia ??? that's pretty stereotypical dwarf role right there if there ever was one. Just saying. But y eah, Peter has worked very hard. He's good in everything he does. You can tell he takes acting very seriously.
@@slewone4905 but it's not a stereotypical dwarf role. Tyrion is clever, a capable player of the political game despite being belittled by many other characters for what he is.
The reason this scene works is because neither of them knows why the other is doing what they're doing. Finch is understandably mad at Buddy for being unintentionally ableist and doesn't know that he's a legit elf, and Buddy thinks he found someone from the North Pole and is confused as to why Finch is beating him up
If He Told That To Me I Would Tell Him This. Fine I'll Get Out Of Your Life. But Before I Do. I Just Want To Say You Are A Horrible Person Who Cares About Nothing But Your Job And Self. If Your Gonna Keep Caring About Yourself And Not Others Like Your Family Then You Are No Longer My Father. Goodbye Walter!
Considering how Buddy did albeit unwittingly cost him a golden opportunity that could have helped him with his business troubles and he had only known his long lost son for a few weeks not to mention the implied bad memories he had with his previous wife you can’t entirely blame him for snapping at Buddy like that
"I've got houses in LA, Paris and The Vale, each one of them with a 70 inch plasma screen! So I suggest you wipe that stupid smile off your face before I come over there and smack it off! You feeling strong, my friend? CALL ME ELF ONE MORE TIME!😠
@@Conor2496Considering his upbringing of being raised around elves it makes sense why he thought Miles was an elf rather then a dwarf though unfortunately Miles doesn’t know this meaning from his point of view Buddy is mocking his dwarfism and just will not stop. So it’s hard to blame him for getting so pissed off. I also at least partially blame Santa Claus for not telling Buddy that not every short person is an elf as well.
Peter Dinklage is seriously one of the best actors out there. For anyone who hasn't seen The Station Agent, he;s wonderful in it. His gesture and face here after "call me an elf ONE more time" are just perfect.
I like how Peter plays an arrogant, abrasive, successful author when he’s the opposite in real life. According to many co-stars, Peter is actually really easy and fun to work with and is also super nice.
Apparently there is some truth to this scene as Peter is known to be firmly against these kinds of stereotypes. I know its just acting, but I think he put some of his own emotions into this scene.
Miles and Walter were both unintentionally sympathetic in this scene. Miles was basically being relentlessly bullied for his disability, something he had to work really hard to overcome, and Walter, despite his desperate efforts to defuse the situation, can only helplessly watch as it escalates, delrailing his huge deal in the process, and putting him in imminent danger of being out of a job. Therefore, you can't really blame either one of them for snapping the way they did.
True. Buddy may not have known that being called "Elf" is offensive to some, but he does understand to leave when his father asks him to. So he could've just gone back to the mail room. On top of everything else that was stressing out Walter, you can see why this incident made him finally snap
True while Buddy wasn’t trying to be insensitive since having grown up around elves most of his life it makes sense why he would think Miles was an elf, he didn’t get the hint that he should have stopped even though he was told to leave the room and Miles gave him plenty of warnings to stop he didn’t do that for some reason you can’t entirely blame either of them for losing it since as far as Miles is aware Buddy is mocking his dwarfism and just won’t knock it off even though he gave him several warnings to stop though getting physical with him was taking it too far and Walter having put up with Buddy’s weird behavior for weeks and having a potentially golden opportunity being unwittingly ruined by him that could have helped him out of his business troubles, it’s no wonder why he snapped and said some hurtful things in the heat of the moment though he did go a little too far in what he said. So yeah both had every right to be angry but they did not handle it in the best way possible.
To be fair, Miles should have understood that there was something "off" about Buddy. It goes both ways. If someone lacks the capacity to grasp their actions and you have reason to know, you shouldn't use that as an excuse to take your anger out onto them. Buddy acted like a man-child and his father's reaction made it clear that the former wasn't fully aware of what was going on. It's not really Buddy's fault: he grew up in an extremely sheltered environment where no one really bore ill-will against anyone else. Further, Buddy made no effort to fight back and looked scared and confused. This is yet more evidence against Miles' behavior under the circumstances.
Miles was saying at the meeting that there's one idea he's completely psyched about, and he also says "no farms, everyone's pushing small town rural", yet when those guys find his notebook later, they're really excited about his psyched idea and saying that it's a peach on a farm.
@@awesomeninja9178 I came up with a theory now on why Miles said "no farms" to the other guys' farm ideas but had an idea himself about a peach on a farm, it's that Miles really just didn't want to use someone else's ideas, he only wanted to use his own. But he didn't want to tell the other guys that so he just blew off their ideas by simply saying "no farms". I'm not sure what Miles' response would've been if the other guys questioned Miles directly about why he can use a farm idea but they can't, because before Miles could even pitch his peach idea, that idiot in the elf costume barged in and ruined their meeting and Miles (rightfully) kicked his ass, and then stormed out
@@alvexok5523 I think Miles would o been annoyed that buddy interuped the meeting but it;s when buddy kept callimg Miles a elf thats when he got pissed, kicked buddys ass and left in anger
@@filmtheory783 So could I. It's really annoying actually the way Buddy continued to so deliberately ignore James Cain and Miles when telling him to stop interrupting them and calling Miles an elf. Buddy wasn't that stupid where he couldn't understand what they were telling him, he just chose to not care, and didn't care until after Miles left and Cain yelled at him to get out of his life.
I don't know why but seeing Peter Dinklage acting is always such a joy especially when he is doing roles in comedy and drama where he has so much depth
I got a theory is that Miles didn’t approve the tomato pitch because it remind him his own childhood. Due to suffering from dwarfism, he was probably a perfect target for bullying and was very vulnerable due to his small size. He is like a tomato who can be eaten by rabbits. Also, maybe the peach idea was based on his childhood but he decided to give up because he doesn’t want to admit his insecurities
I think his reaction was rather understandable. If you see a fully grown man straight up calling this guy an elf and spouting out stuff about Santa, you'd be wanting to woop his ass too.
My cousin took me to see this at the theaters. Cousin started laughing hysterically at this moment, this caused the guy sitting in front of us, to jump out of his seat, looking very uncomfortable at us. He summoned an usher and the usher didn’t see the problem. I guess he got a refund?! 😂 I always remember that every time I see this bit…. 😂
The fight scene was originally longer. It featured Miles punching Buddy repeatedly, who then bites Miles on the hand. Following the fight when Walter tries to stop him, Miles tells him "nobody bites Miles Finch!" and leaves.
This is my favorite movie scene out of all the movies that ever been produced! I watch Elf every Christmas season, and every time, this scene breaks me into a fit of laughter that nothing else can compare to. Great video!!
I love the subtle irony of this scene; Finch's pitch being a "peach on a farm" is quite literally the same as the tomato on a farm idea. They're both vulnerable fruits in a small town rural setting. Also subtle is the fact that Walter doesn't realize a tomato is a fruit.
Well a tomato is probably more vulnerable because it's on the ground on a vine so most animals like rabbits would easily grab it. Also a tomato is basically gelatinous on the inside that's why when they're rotten and you throw it they splat. A peach is on a tree out of reach for most animals and they have a hard pit in the center of them which tomatoes don't.
I love how in 2003, a 70” plasma TV was almost unheard of. 😂

"I've got houses in LA, Paris and The Vale, each one of them with a 70 inch plasma screen! So I suggest you wipe that stupid smile off your face before I come over there and smack it off! You feeling strong, my friend? CALL ME ELF ONE MORE TIME!😠
True, there's all types of perverts out there looking for someone weird to screw.
I met this man once. He called me a bastard
Who the guy that played Miles Finch?
sportsygirl8 Peter dinklage
That is cool that you got to meet him.
Don't forget who you are, no one else will. Wear it like armor. The King Of the North!!
They say that actors who always play pricks in movies are usually pricks in real life.
A Lannister always pays his debt
Wait a minute that Huey in the blue shirt and black vest is the same guy from pixels
Of course, he is Peter Dinklage!! Don’t mess with Tyrion Lannister or Sonny Corleone!!
This joke is hilarious, but as an adult you realize Buddy’s unintentionally making fun of someone with dwarfism
Buddy probably didn’t know what a dwarf was and that every person that size would have to be an elf
@@Conor2496Considering his upbringing of being raised around elves it makes sense why he thought Miles was an elf rather then a dwarf though unfortunately Miles doesn’t know this meaning from his point of view Buddy is mocking his dwarfism and just will not stop. So it’s hard to blame him for getting so pissed off. I also at least partially blame Santa Claus for not telling Buddy that not every short person is an elf as well.
You only realized that as an adult? That's literally the entire joke.
Don't you know that elves and dwarfs are sworn enemies, haven't you seen lord of the rings

2:45 *Whispering* “He’s an angry elf.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Miles: (Jumps up on the table and charges at Buddy like an angry bull)
"He's an angry elf" OMG I laughed so hard at that line!!!! And throughout the whole scene ;D
I said a bad word when Miles came charging at Buddy like an angry bull.
He's not an elf. He's the Imp of House Lannister.
Indeed, who once brought a jackass and a honeycomb into a brothel…
When he charged at Will Farrell, was anyone else shouting "Half-man, half-man, half-man!!!"
I sure as hell was
Andrew Levin I figured someone would be shouting "Imp!" :D
where's the rest of ya, lmAo

Peter Dinklage is seriously one of the best actors out there. For anyone who hasn't seen The Station Agent, he;s wonderful in it. His gesture and face here after "call me an elf ONE more time" are just perfect.
@Jake-vy2bh Peter Dinklage was also great on the movie "The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian" where his name was Trumpkin on that movie.
He amazing in X men days of future past
He did such a great job in the station agent
Also in Game of Thrones and Infinity War
Of all the great actors in GOT, he had the best line delivery, and off-line expressions
I like how Peter plays an arrogant, abrasive, successful author when he’s the opposite in real life. According to many co-stars, Peter is actually really easy and fun to work with and is also super nice.
also he says no farms but one of his ideas is a peach on a farm!
To be fair, even though Buddy didn't know it was an insult, he still had it coming
he doesn't know anything about that
@@jaisenweaver9341 His father told him to stop, but he refused to listen
itsjemmabond he loved he’s in tire life being an elf,so that’s why he was so weird
@@afanofcupheadfnafandundert857 exactly. He'd been raised by them, so he didn't think anything of it, really.
True since from Miles Finch’s point of view he was insulting his dwarfism and just wouldn’t knock it off so you can’t entirely blame him there.
Buddy: YOU’RE TALKING TO AN ELF!
Miles: *slaps Buddy* and now I’ve struck an elf. Did Santa put me on his naughty list?
Buddy:he’s an naughty elf
Santa: “No Christmas for Miles Finch.”
A Finch always pays his debts.
The Asparagus guy gets me every time 😂 The confidence in his Suggestion had me Deeeaad lol
Apparently there is some truth to this scene as Peter is known to be firmly against these kinds of stereotypes. I know its just acting, but I think he put some of his own emotions into this scene.
Yea i felt it really hurted him 😢he seems like a chill and adorable guy tho ❤
Hahahahaha, love how he drop kicks Buddy and then Buddy says "He must have been a South Pole elf."
1:23 the script Peter delivers is over the top and hilarious ASF
when he ran across that table 😅😅😅
“Does Santa know you left the workshop?”
“We’re all laughing our heads off here pal”

“Did you have to borrow a reindeer to get down here?”

I love it when he's running on the table and Buddy puts his arms out and he's all like "Look at you!"
2:37 "Call me Imp one more time!"
"He's an angry Imp!!"
LOL!!
I guess Miles Finch is a specialist in short stories. :)
oh wow, you're hilarious my friend.
Everyone who makes a joke about a dwarf's height thinks he is the first person ever to make a joke about a dwarf's height.
Peter Dinklage getting more action than anyone, I wouldn't doubt that. Lol
Miles and Walter were both unintentionally sympathetic in this scene. Miles was basically being relentlessly bullied for his disability, something he had to work really hard to overcome, and Walter, despite his desperate efforts to defuse the situation, can only helplessly watch as it escalates, delrailing his huge deal in the process, and putting him in imminent danger of being out of a job. Therefore, you can't really blame either one of them for snapping the way they did.
True. Buddy may not have known that being called "Elf" is offensive to some, but he does understand to leave when his father asks him to. So he could've just gone back to the mail room. On top of everything else that was stressing out Walter, you can see why this incident made him finally snap
True while Buddy wasn’t trying to be insensitive since having grown up around elves most of his life it makes sense why he would think Miles was an elf, he didn’t get the hint that he should have stopped even though he was told to leave the room and Miles gave him plenty of warnings to stop he didn’t do that for some reason you can’t entirely blame either of them for losing it since as far as Miles is aware Buddy is mocking his dwarfism and just won’t knock it off even though he gave him several warnings to stop though getting physical with him was taking it too far and Walter having put up with Buddy’s weird behavior for weeks and having a potentially golden opportunity being unwittingly ruined by him that could have helped him out of his business troubles, it’s no wonder why he snapped and said some hurtful things in the heat of the moment though he did go a little too far in what he said. So yeah both had every right to be angry but they did not handle it in the best way possible.
To be fair, Miles should have understood that there was something "off" about Buddy. It goes both ways. If someone lacks the capacity to grasp their actions and you have reason to know, you shouldn't use that as an excuse to take your anger out onto them. Buddy acted like a man-child and his father's reaction made it clear that the former wasn't fully aware of what was going on. It's not really Buddy's fault: he grew up in an extremely sheltered environment where no one really bore ill-will against anyone else. Further, Buddy made no effort to fight back and looked scared and confused. This is yet more evidence against Miles' behavior under the circumstances.
I hope your parents tell you to get out of their life
I love how Miles says no to farms and yet his top idea is about a peach on a farm. I wonder if the director kept that in as a joke?
yeah, his hypocrisy is intentional
@@scottmatheson3346 Maybe it was an old idea he later rejected or just wrote it out of laziness.
Peter Dinklage's and Kyle Gass's face expressions crack me up at this scene every time.
"He's an Elf!"
@@niallcashman929 he's an angry elf

BITCH
@@niallcashman929 ...you're an elf
Call me elf,one more time...
Miles was saying at the meeting that there's one idea he's completely psyched about, and he also says "no farms, everyone's pushing small town rural", yet when those guys find his notebook later, they're really excited about his psyched idea and saying that it's a peach on a farm.
kinda odd hes like "no farm!" *has a book about a peach on a farm"
@@awesomeninja9178 I came up with a theory now on why Miles said "no farms" to the other guys' farm ideas but had an idea himself about a peach on a farm, it's that Miles really just didn't want to use someone else's ideas, he only wanted to use his own. But he didn't want to tell the other guys that so he just blew off their ideas by simply saying "no farms".
I'm not sure what Miles' response would've been if the other guys questioned Miles directly about why he can use a farm idea but they can't, because before Miles could even pitch his peach idea, that idiot in the elf costume barged in and ruined their meeting and Miles (rightfully) kicked his ass, and then stormed out
@@alvexok5523 I think Miles would o been annoyed that buddy interuped the meeting but it;s when buddy kept callimg Miles a elf thats when he got pissed, kicked buddys ass and left in anger
@@alvexok5523 "that idiot in a elf costume" dude your pretty funny I could see patrick star saying that
@@filmtheory783 So could I. It's really annoying actually the way Buddy continued to so deliberately ignore James Cain and Miles when telling him to stop interrupting them and calling Miles an elf. Buddy wasn't that stupid where he couldn't understand what they were telling him, he just chose to not care, and didn't care until after Miles left and Cain yelled at him to get out of his life.
That intense music as Miles is walking into the conference room always gives me chills.
Peter Dinklage is beyond awesome!
Waaaay beyond
I don't know why but seeing Peter Dinklage acting is always such a joy especially when he is doing roles in comedy and drama where he has so much depth
"I get more action in a week than you've had your entire life." Yes we know Tyrion, we've seen the show. Lol
Timeless classic. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
Merry Christmas
I swear this has to be the best Christmas movie. Everything about it is just so perfect.
This is as close as we're ever gonna get to a Mad Men/Game of Thrones cross-over Christmas themed episode. Co-starring Will Farrell and James Cann.
Will Ferrell was very lucky that he didn't have a crossbow
Will should always lock the door when in the privy
"I've got houses in LA, Paris, and Vale--"
Me: The VALE?
Sorry... I just... I couldn't stop laughing at that part lol
I think I GOT that reference also eheh
I love how this was uploaded years before _Game of Thrones_ started airing.
Dinklage is such a great actor! All these nuances ... wonderful!
He's awesome, but we didn't get to see enough of him before GoT... Now I'm a far bigger fan and I recognize he's a very talented actor.
"Does santa know you left the workshop "😂😂
"You know, we're all laughing our heads of here"
I just love Peter Dinklage. Best part of GoT.
I got a theory is that Miles didn’t approve the tomato pitch because it remind him his own childhood.
Due to suffering from dwarfism, he was probably a perfect target for bullying and was very vulnerable due to his small size. He is like a tomato who can be eaten by rabbits.
Also, maybe the peach idea was based on his childhood but he decided to give up because he doesn’t want to admit his insecurities
RIP James Caan
1940-2022
I can't blame the dwarf for attacking Buddy. Even though Buddy was not meant to be offensive the dwarf understandably was quite right to be insulted!
+rstein926 The dwarf has a name.
+rstein926 Everyone called him Miles in this film. Call him Miles.
so it was wrong for Buddy to call him an elf?
He should be called as the Imp.
His name is Miles
I think his reaction was rather understandable. If you see a fully grown man straight up calling this guy an elf and spouting out stuff about Santa, you'd be wanting to woop his ass too.
Yeah when you take the context out of the film, Buddy looks like a full blown bully.
2:51 "Look at you!" I always say that to my dog 😂
A Corleone, a Lannister, and a Ferrel walk into a conference room...
My cousin took me to see this at the theaters. Cousin started laughing hysterically at this moment, this caused the guy sitting in front of us, to jump out of his seat, looking very uncomfortable at us. He summoned an usher and the usher didn’t see the problem. I guess he got a refund?! 😂 I always remember that every time I see this bit…. 😂
I swear I heard Tyrion say "I've got houses in LA, Paris, and the Vale"
well maybe not "the" but damn

The fight scene was originally longer. It featured Miles punching Buddy repeatedly, who then bites Miles on the hand. Following the fight when Walter tries to stop him, Miles tells him "nobody bites Miles Finch!" and leaves.
Say it again
You’re an elf

This is my favorite movie scene out of all the movies that ever been produced! I watch Elf every Christmas season, and every time, this scene breaks me into a fit of laughter that nothing else can compare to. Great video!!
Rest In Peace Mr Caan…..
3:06 he was just doing what you told him to 💀💀💀💀💀💀
I love the subtle irony of this scene; Finch's pitch being a "peach on a farm" is quite literally the same as the tomato on a farm idea. They're both vulnerable fruits in a small town rural setting.
Also subtle is the fact that Walter doesn't realize a tomato is a fruit.
Well a tomato is probably more vulnerable because it's on the ground on a vine so most animals like rabbits would easily grab it. Also a tomato is basically gelatinous on the inside that's why when they're rotten and you throw it they splat. A peach is on a tree out of reach for most animals and they have a hard pit in the center of them which tomatoes don't.
Biologically. Not commonly/practically.
The way he says “yes” makes me laugh every time
The perfect reason why we should never make fun of dwarfism!
If you think about it, in a way this def had to be a platform for Dinklage to let out a lifetime of pent up rage against people who laughed at him.
