Brilliant brilliant brilliant! Still remember watching this with my late father when I was in my teens. On late night TV and we laughed so much we woke the rest of the family!
Died too young at 55. Thank you for all the laughs. Also love your hilarious antics in the Pink Panther movies. I hope you are happy wherever you are right now Peter.
I was a high school kid watching in a movie theater. I laughed so hard that I completely fell our of my seat and was left sitting on the floor crying with laughter. Forgot what the movie was even about but will never forget that.
I wouldn't want to have been you because laughter, especially the kind where your body scrunches and your eyes tear- that's hard when you can't make a sound. Happened to me on a train once, George Carlin book and sour, grim people who must have hated trains or travel....I've seen this film dozens of times and it STILL cracks me up- it sends up "the jet set"- Hollywood's dismal phonies so adeptly too- that automated house was decades ahead of my worst nightmare! The late Blake Edwards was GENIUS too. If you could ask Peter's ghost he'd tell you- I have to buy this film, I'm sick currently- I'm hopeful I recover fully, laughter helps...my partner is like your fellow passengers, doesn't like Sellers, not even The Pink Panther series featuring Clouseau the Clueless- i can't understand. I can't watch Sellers in bed because it shakes and he can't sleep! Grouches! Birdy Num Num...
Decades ago i watched this movie slightly stonend with friends. Needless to say we had a effing good time watching it........ Your stomach will hurt afterwards from all the laughter and you will tear up out of pure joy while watching this.😂😂😂😂😂 Some of the sketches are simply pure genius. Blake Edwards realy did it with this one and Sellers shows one of his best performances.
Sellers ALMOST had his scenes stolen by the waiter; watch for him as he gets increasingly inebriated as the film progresses - hilarious. Keep an eye out for him, he's brilliant! :D
Kris A You should hear where Steve (the guy playing the waiter) said there was so much foam,he nearly suffocated. The drunk blonde actress is in a chair & he calls to her to rinse off the foam with the "Vodka"(really water) cos he's gasping for air. They pump in foam from an airport firetruck & the stuff usually starves a fire of oxygen,in this case it almost starved the actors of life!!!
My dad introduced this movie to me when I was a kid. It still cracks me up! “Im on a diet but the hell with it!” Takes his shoe off the food tray) “Howdy Part-iner!” “Birdie num num!” “I’m not your sugar!”
Many thanks! Peter Sellers and others of his time were actual comedians compared to the sick idiots today who cannot joke without swearing or sexual references.
So true!! Many of todays crude comedians seem to just rely on swearing, sexual references and "jokes" about bodily functions. The irony of course here is that Sellers would be the one labeled offensive in todays society. This sketch for example would be considered extremely "racist" and "offensive", with Sellers moral character being called into question.
@@markharrison2544 When I stumble upon conversations like this, I always think of Buster Keatons quote: "A comedian does funny things, a good comedian does things funny." ;)
"The Party" and "Being There" were without a doubt some of Peters best work. Probably best known for The Pink Panther and while funny, these 2 films are indeed comic genius!
I remember watching this with my dad & brother in the early 80s..dad had a loud roaring laughter which was contagious. We all pissed ourselves with his silly buffoon antics which was pure comical genius in that era. I remember the waiter who was in Bewitched & played a warlock...great funny actor. You don't see that kinda stuff nowadays
That's what I thought when I saw Monty Python and later on - much later I'm afraid - got to know The Marx Brothers and Jacques Tati, it's incredible how many different, very subtly nuanced styles of humor(ous acting) have existed before the stuff we got today.
I remember seeing it in full.... I laughed my **** off and the rest aswel... such a funny movie... the Great Peter Sellers.... sadly missed but never forgotten.
What a brilliant hilarious film! Watched this on big screen TV on TCM about 2015 - had no idea and my family laughed so hard! The Howdy Partner cowboy scenes were so funny that my now 5yo son will forever have the nickname Partner!! 😆 Birdy num num is still our nickname for yummy food ha. This whole movie makes you laugh like you’re high!
One of the most acid attack to Hollywood world and to the American way of life. And one of the funniest film ever. As well as "The apartment", "The fortune cookie", funny and dark movies at the same time. A radio program - trasmitted since 1994 by RAI national public broadcasting company of Italy - is named after this movie. It deals with movies, of course. A gorgeous program.
One of Peter Sellers' best non-Clouseau films, and directed by Pink Panther director, Blake Edwards. The Hollywood party plot is simple, and is really a situation for Sellers to react comedically against (I wonder how much of this was improvised?). Interestingly, Hrundi V Bakshi's bumbling bad luck and accident-prone nature is shared by Sellers' more famous character. However, Bakshi has his own charm, lacking the pride and ego of Clouseau, a gentle character going much more with the flow, dealing with a variety of embarrassing misunderstandings, all played to great comedic effect, and against expectations ending up with the girl. The supporting cast is excellent, especially the actors playing the increasingly-drunk waiter, the angry chef, the confused drunk actress, the obnoxious director with a hairpiece, the famous screen cowboy ("Howdy, pardoner!"), and the rich, polite, but increasingly-irritated Hollywood producer host of the party. There are lots of great scenes, but "Birdie num-nums" is probably the funniest sequence. I can watch this any number of times. :-)
I think this movie, (esp. the bathroom scene), Mad Mad World, and The Money Pit are the funniest movies I can think of. Planes, Trains, Autos and the original Out of Towners were also great.
La miraría mil veces. Que genio del humor !! Porque ya no se hacen películas de humor tan buenas ? Esta película es humor con imágenes, hoy en día y ya hace mucho tiempo se pretende hacer humor con la palabra. Creo que eso es una de las mayores diferencias.
blake edwards said at one point in the filming, peter sellers and he were just wracked with the giggles and it became worse...laughing . they drove around hollywood for 1 hr to shake it off. amazing.
I loved Peter"s brilliance! But his writers were geniuses! Did he actually write and modify the script? Well yes! He was a geniuses too! Amazing! Perhaps the best comedy in Human history! Well... the most loved anyway!
I'd love to see the outtakes! That idiotic house! Must have been great filming this classic. I've lost count of how many times I've seen it- birdy num num...R.I.P. Peter and Blake- we miss you- you're irreplaceable- thanks for these few moments of laughter and joy- birdy num num...Namaste from A Sellers Fan, Forever...
Rowan Atkinson stated that Jacques Tatis character Monsieur Hulot was the inspiration for Mr. Bean, but I'd dare put Peter Sellers and Jacques Tati in the same league.
Thanks for sharing Mariluna...you grabbed the best excerpts from this hilarious film for our enjoyment. While Sellers is stellar, you are the artist that shared all this fun with us. Love&Peace from Denver, CO, Estats Units.
One of the funniest movies and Peter sellers one of the funniest comedians
It's the only movie I've seen over 20 times and I always laugh at its scenes.
Peter Sellers. The definition of the word actor.
Still one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Peter Sellers, thank you for your comic genius. We really miss you. Rest In Peace.
Agreed. Hilarious.
I can’t get enough of it and I’ve been watching it at least a dozen times every year since 1968♥️♥️♥️♥️
oh he died what a shame
Mostly visual almost slapstick humour. Outstanding.
My brother and I laughed so much with this movie and now more than 50 years later we still do. Classic!
Brilliant brilliant brilliant! Still remember watching this with my late father when I was in my teens. On late night TV and we laughed so much we woke the rest of the family!
Died too young at 55. Thank you for all the laughs. Also love your hilarious antics in the Pink Panther movies. I hope you are happy wherever you are right now Peter.
I NEVER get tired of this movie...so simple, witty and funny....pure comic genius as someone posted below. Peter Sellers just knew how to be funny...
Samewise hahahaha such a perfect comedic movie lol
This scene takes me back 54 years and I still love this movie with all my ❤️♥️♥️♥️
Watched this as a kid in the early 70s with my brother 😂😂😂❤ an absolute legend 👌🏻🙏🏻
One of My favorite comedies of all time. A man invited by mistake to a party trying to fit in. The perfect blend of dialogue and images scenes.
A classic my favourite part is the waiter who has a drink every time he sees Sellers and is pissed by the end😂
This was a classic. My Pakistani family loved this growing up. Mr. Sellers does an excellent South Asian man.
I first saw this while on an airplane flight.. laughing out loud so hard, the people around me must have thought I was crazy. Thanks for posting this.
I was a high school kid watching in a movie theater. I laughed so hard that I completely fell our of my seat and was left sitting on the floor crying with laughter. Forgot what the movie was even about but will never forget that.
Same thing happened to me at the movies...my sister and I were laughing so hard people were staring at us....
I know Im kind of off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch new series online ?

Decades ago i watched this movie slightly stonend with friends.
Needless to say we had a effing good time watching it........
Your stomach will hurt afterwards from all the laughter and you
will tear up out of pure joy while watching this.😂😂😂😂😂
Some of the sketches are simply pure genius. Blake Edwards realy
did it with this one and Sellers shows one of his best performances.
Mate, I think you might still be 'stonend'! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Humor that is not stupid, an increasingly difficult thing to find nowadays.
I agree with you completly.
Ya, You hit the nail right on the head! I think today they got humour and stupidity mixed up.
Sellers ALMOST had his scenes stolen by the waiter; watch for him as he gets increasingly inebriated as the film progresses - hilarious. Keep an eye out for him, he's brilliant! :D

I did hear him speak about that, yes, that's what happens when you pay attention. ;)
Peter Sellers, a true comedy genius!!!!
The real comedy genius here is Blake Edwards. He created, wrote and directed all "Panther's" films. He is "The Man".
My dad introduced this movie to me when I was a kid. It still cracks me up!
“Im on a diet but the hell with it!” Takes his shoe off the food tray)
“Howdy Part-iner!”
“Birdie num num!”
“I’m not your sugar!”
I saw this movie in my 70‘s childhood and never get tired of it to this day.
My favourite Hollywood film.
Love the interior ❤
One of my all time favorite movies ever
I loved it , my sister and my dad loved this movie!! Great great scenes
This was my grandmother's favorite movie. When it was playing in town we'd never miss it. She would simply say, "That man is so amusing!"
Many thanks! Peter Sellers and others of his time were actual comedians compared to the sick idiots today who cannot joke without swearing or sexual references.

Sellers was a comedy actor, not a comedian.
Sellers is the best comedy actor in movies history !¡
@@markharrison2544 When I stumble upon conversations like this, I always think of Buster Keatons quote: "A comedian does funny things, a good comedian does things funny." ;)
S You tell ‘em, gramps!
Birdie Num Nums 😁
This movie will be forever funny To this day. Peter truly was 1 of a kind ❤
The drunk waiter (Steve Franken) was brilliant in this movie.
indeed
Totally agree Dallas Nyberg, he went toe to toe with Peter Sellers in those scenes. RIP to both gents!
Very brillant 👏
Facts. He draws the eye from Sellers every time and that was not an easy thing to do.
@João Victor - Sim, nunca me canso de ver este filme
"The Party" and "Being There" were without a doubt some of Peters best work. Probably best known for The Pink Panther and while funny, these 2 films are indeed comic genius!
Being There is a work of art and for me, Peter's greatest work.
同感
Back when comedy actually involved humor.
Amen Old School

Blake Edwards & Peter Sellers were genius! Love this film ❤️❤️
I hope they would aired these movie during quarantine.
These movies can save so many life
Now these heroes were truly genius and comedic
Hands down the funniest movie I’ve ever seen. Peter Sellers was a comedic GENIUS
Way,way,understated and underrated movie, a total scream!
The number of gags are uncountable.Everytine I watch The Party there is a gag I missed last time I watched it.Sellers at his best completely original.
Peter sellers was the God of comedy 😂😂😂
They had such marvelous parties back then. I'm envious.
this movie is totally crazy and not comparable to any other movie to this time..
That's what I thought when I saw Monty Python and later on - much later I'm afraid - got to know The Marx Brothers and Jacques Tati, it's incredible how many different, very subtly nuanced styles of humor(ous acting) have existed before the stuff we got today.
@@Sapsche
Rainer , ever see 'The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob' ? I recommend it.
there will never be a Peter sellers quite like him american actor.
what a concept...what a performance....genius...absolutely everything right on the money
The man had impeccable timing.
These clips are hilarious! I need to watch the entire film. Thanks for the upload.
I think that it's a great comedy, surprisingly little known, and underrated.
I remember seeing it in full.... I laughed my **** off and the rest aswel... such a funny movie... the Great Peter Sellers.... sadly missed but never forgotten.
One of the funniest movies I have ever seen! Perhaps only surpassed by Sons of the Desert.
One if not THE most underrated comedy in film history.
What a brilliant hilarious film! Watched this on big screen TV on TCM about 2015 - had no idea and my family laughed so hard! The Howdy Partner cowboy scenes were so funny that my now 5yo son will forever have the nickname Partner!! 😆 Birdy num num is still our nickname for yummy food ha. This whole movie makes you laugh like you’re high!
Laugh like you're high is a great description.
Peter Sellers + Blake Edwards = bloody funny everytime.
The toilet paper roll gag was simply priceless . . . ...
Sad to think we couldn't have a brilliant movie like this today.
Why not?
We could if studios wernt scared and pathetic. They would make a killing!
Peter Sellers-one of the greatest comedy actors of all time👍
To me, the drunk waiter was the best part of the whole story🤗🤗🤗
easily one of the funniest movies of all time!!
Like how the owner of the house kept his cool.
My Mom and I saw this at a drive in. I could always make her laugh when we talked about it.
On ne peut pas mieux dans l'absurde, bravo,bravo!!!
Just thinking about some scenes makes me smile straight away. Brave little elephant too.....simply hilarious movie.
"Birdy num-nums" 🤣
When you think you have a bad day. Watch this video.
but this is not funny... :(
@@criztu Too bad so many have little sense of humor.
@@criztu when someone saying that peter is not funny then he must be already dead,but i still prefer pink panther than this for sure
@@criztu no its hilarious!
@@kentclark6420 it could not be more funny. Peter Sellers was a funny, funny comedian.
Best movie to watch at a NYE party!
This movie and ‘The Producers’ came out about the same time and were the two funniest movies ever made.
Love the piano tune in this scene, imgaine its 54 years ago this film was shown first..
The party is one of his best movies.
I saw "The party" at the cinema about forty years ago. It was perhaps the funniest film I had ever seen.
Very few movies I remember I laughed and cried laughing as with this one. PS genius!
There is one actor today who could remake this and do it justice. If I only had his number!
Maybe 'the most smart 'funny comedy 'in my life 'the party is a beautiful film 'u can see many times 'thank u all
I totally agree!
Genius comedy, there is so much going on in this film.
One of my favourite movies . Love it.
Suction cup to the forehead,followed by "Howdy Partner" from far side of swimming pool..is...just classic.
Peter Sellers?....a genious!!!!!
When I watched Peter Seller's acting I automatically remember the movements of Mister Bean, I think he was one of his acting models.
One of the most acid attack to Hollywood world and to the American way of life. And one of the funniest film ever.
As well as "The apartment", "The fortune cookie", funny and dark movies at the same time.
A radio program - trasmitted since 1994 by RAI national public broadcasting company of Italy - is named after this movie. It deals with movies, of course. A gorgeous program.
Saw this at our flea pit cinema years ago with my cousin, laughed so much..
I haven’t seen this movie in 40 years. Thanks for posting.
Subtle intelligent slapstick brilliance a true comedy classic for the ages
Get this on physical media asap. It's 2020, the world has gone mad..

Peter Sellers was the master. So funny.
One thing I can say for certain is, he shouldn't have honoured the invitation to that party, to save himself from the embarrassment🤣🤣🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
Sellers was so good and the drunken waiter...... 😂
I think this movie, (esp. the bathroom scene), Mad Mad World, and The Money Pit are the funniest movies I can think of. Planes, Trains, Autos and the original Out of Towners were also great.
Sublemi..genioooo....
Ya no existen cómicos así.
La peli un clásico....

Mr bean is nothing on peters genius. His eyes at dinner table lmao 😆
Thats not the Same . Look Pink Panther incredible with Partner Dreyfuß!
good all memories . first time i watched this movies it was only 26 y.0...now it's 52 !! damn :(
Peter Sellers comic genius shines so brightly in The Party
Classic! I was very young in the 60s but, what a decade!
Best EVER THANK YOU

Every time I see this part I’m rolling with laughter.
I bet Mr Bean learned a lot from Peter Sellers
Who then learned from Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.....
@@jerrybobteasdale The Charlie Chaplin of the Orient from Hong Kong , Cheng Kwun Meen and Yee Chou Sui. Both passed away.
@@jerrybobteasdale The whole world learn from both of them more especially Hong Kong where I grew up.

of course , Mr. Bean is not very original at all
"the beginning of this movie was the best part.,hahaha!

A pleasure to watch
We now know where Mr bean got most of his ideas from
