This is what it's like to be depressed. You try to keep that smile that grin. While people pull you to hell an then beg you to be happy with suffering. This is depression. I hope only he never stops laughing.
To strip a man of his dignity of his humanity. Then ask him to not laugh. Then ask him to not cope with his reality. She's a joke an that's why he's laughing. Years. Wasted. On what. Her feelings? Oh how much she feels such a knowing creature that she can't even feel empathy for the man she's supposed to love a man who is struggling but succeeding a man who is still a success. Driven lower by those he would have called friends.
Man I love laughing so hard. I started farting and it was stinky like let me tell you something I was letting loose. Oh man! You know this was just after I had a delicious quesadilla you was so good! So moist. So delicious man. The chicken quesadilla is always really good now. Is Bitcoin going to go up? I'm not really sure. Do you like Jackie Chan movies? Charles, I'm not talking to you right now. I'm going to blow out the toilet
Not really, because she looks like she’s in her mid 20’s at best, and old boy looks like he’s 60. If they’ve been together for 15 years this nice police officer next to me has some questions (Ok. He looks more like 50. But that ain’t better)
At the first laugh, I was thinking "You could do better". At the second laugh, I burst out laughing, and was now thinking "Oh, this guy knows what he's doing."
Honestly, this feels like improv at its finest. With nothing but one line, these two managed to weave an entire narrative in just six minutes, including a satisfying payoff at the end. The husband does a vivid performance, of course, alternating between lively and almost comical on one hand, and actually quite serious on the other. It builds the image of a man who does care about his wife but struggles to properly communicate with her and express his sincere feelings. The wife manages to convey that exasperation and frustration perfectly while also showing hints that she really did find this man's antics charming, once upon a time. The final monologue and her reaction to it feels like a culmination of everything, with the husband managing to find a way to express his true feelings while not completely shedding his humorous shield, and the wife not only finding him funny again, but managing to understand what he was trying to say and appreciate him for it. These two bounced off each other very well, I think. They not only put on decent performances in their own right, considering only one of them had just a single line, but they also managed to build off of each other's responses in a way that's both consistent and in service of the developing narrative, all culminating in a genuinely touching moment of a man who hides behind humor actually using that humor to express vulnerability and compassion.
I was thinking to myself that this scene was really well written. Very charming, nice arc, and great payoff as you say. But then I read the description and the fact that this was all improv with only a single line to start is quite impressive.
To me it also seemed like she was like reconsidering the divorce, realising that for all his faults he does love her in his weird ways. Between crying of laughter, crying from sadness, and crying of joy.
"You're like my... shadow. In the afternoon. When I'm hungry and my shadow's long. You're there behind me. And you're taking care of me. But you know what? I've never thanked my shadow." dude. this is deep.
Me too. I was so surprised it was able to elicit this type of emotional response from me, after convincing me within the first few seconds that it was a disaster of an acting performance. I almost feel like I've been manipulated and deceived by these two actors - they tricked me into thinking that they sucked then, right as I'm completely disengaged, they sneak in a quick a one, two combo straight to my chin for the KO. ...and, you know what? I'm fine with that!
Excellent Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you thought about - Taparton Returning Love Takeover (do a search on google)? It is a good exclusive guide for learning how to stop divorce without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 after a lifetime of fighting got amazing success with it.
I think the oyster thing was to show his character is really bad at conveying his emotions. The ponderosa episode quote continued that but his character managed to hit the nail on the head the second try.
Here's what I've learned from this: If your wife ever comes to you and says she wants a divorce, laugh maniacally in her face for about 4 minutes and then discus an old episode of Bonanza/Ponderosa at length until she falls in love with you all over again lol
My theory is this guy watches too many sitcoms so he’s so used to a laugh track after every sentence that it’s thrown off his emotional balance and he hears a laugh track in his head in every scenario in real life.
Yeah I agree. His Gen X gooberness is way too silly at first. His cadence and breath is too song-songy and his expressions are overt. But when his silliness faded into sincerity and his story started to make sense - after that silly oyster thing - his character kinda crystalized into something real. And credit to the woman, because her micro-expressions allowed the sincerity to be true. It wouldnt have been as effective without her anger giving way admiration. Im seriously surprised that this worked. Edit: im still thinking about this lol. It definitely wouldn't have worked without her supportive expressions. I'm more impressed with her acting the more I think about it. She allowed him to shine - and that's good #acting. Subtle acting is the hardest and she nailed it
Seen clips but never saw the whole thing. My God, this is amazing for pure improve. Wife wants a divorce due to lack of communication. Up to the husband to overcome his nervous laughter and provide that missing communication. It was funny yet serious. 13 years late but hey, still can congratulate it, haha. Well done.
I'm in the same camp. And, as a guy who has poor communication skills and particularly struggles with articulating his own feelings, I strongly relate with the male character in this dialog, which is why that last bit elicited a few tears from me. COMPLETELY unexpected, btw. If you paused this scene midway and asked me if I thought there would be any chance of me crying by the end of it, I would have been laughing in your face just like this guy was laughing at his wife. Yet, here I am, soaking up "eyeball sweat" as quick as I can, trying my best to hide the evidence before an unexpected pair of eyes comes shuffling into my bedroom.
Honestly this improv has a really nice story to it. I don't know if the dodging the question with laughter was intentional or because they weren't sure what to say but it was really realistic for a husband to want to dodge the question. I think she did well with her responses and the way he was telling the story seemed to have decent emotion behind it. Like it was lively. Like how someone would tell a story in real life. The siren in the background kind of grounds it and makes it more realistic. Like you can imagine the setting being a city or something like that. I could never do improv. I would laugh too much and wouldn't know what to say so i seriously applaud anyone that can do it.
Alexandra, I truly appreciate all your thoughts and comments. The laughing was not planned and was a surprise to all of us. Yes, I do believe there is a lot of reality in the scene. Thanks.
@@pawa7714 I think the video was mostly being viewed by drama students at the time or something. I vaguely remember most people in the comments complaining that he was doing like no acting and making her really work to come up with material, which they found cringeworthy. Not sure it’s entirely a matter of tastes changing but 🤷
i dont think people understand this sequence. she is a good actress and she was acting like a wife that does remember those fond memories and cant help but laugh when she remembers it, although now she feels bitter about it. the real crack people seem to miss out is right before the video ends when they stare at each other, though i still feel like that was a rehearsed sequence too. the fact you thought she was genuinely finding the monologue funny only shows that she acted well.
@sirpepeofhousekek6741 Yeah, she really is. Part of me thinks I've seen her in something tbh she's sorta familiar. The dude seems (at least from this) like a terrible actor but a really funny guy so they both got talent in my eyes lol
People keep saying he was bad. Improv can literally be anything. So, if he acts as if hes a awful husband laughing crazily at his wife for wanting a divorce, then it works.
He broke her character when he started telling his story and as soon as he said you never thank me for making dinner he hit a nerve and she had the nam flashbacks😂
She started laughing because he brought up an episode they used to laugh at together, but got serious when she realized he was actually comparing her to the character (just a theory; definitely more likely she broke)
@@Journey24215She definitely broke character but within the context of the performance it actually works quite well, her transition from upset to reluctantly smiling and then to "Nam flashbacks" as OP said was actually really solid and definitely elevates this performance as a whole. Thus is the beauty of Improv.
i'm in love with john's long winded rambles. in the context of the character i imagine he makes them as long as possible to distract from the original point
Guys what that was absolutely beautiful. Their acting and improv was actually phenomenal. The deeper moral in all of that was genuinely so incredible. When I was first watching this I couldn’t tell if it was real or if it was an acting skit. This was crazy
For real, the way they made that work blows my mind That should not have worked. She was even laughing at one point. But somehow..somehow they wrapped it up beautifully in the last minute
@@mrjuanderfuI I agree. I really felt like this was an absolute mess up until he started recalling that bonanza episode; and that ending, my god, so powerful. The stare between them at the finish and the last bit that led into it - the shadow simile/ metaphor - was grade-A performance acting in my non-professional opinion. I really wasn't expecting this one to have a chance at pulling on my emotional strings, yet, here I am trying to "hold onto my masculinity" as a well of tears attempts to form a path of least resistance down my leathery cheeks. Well worth appearing/ feeling weak. Would recommend!
Great snapshot of a man who is so detached from himself that he only knows how to communicate with the words of other people and a wife who is fed up but ultimately receives this apt if long awaited recognition she’s needed for 15 years
Never watched the whole thing, just did and I actually really like it. I love the hopeful look at the end and you realize it was intentional the whole time that they weren’t actually looking at each other. It was their first time they may have actually understood eachother in a long time.
Wonderful actor and actress. This was very unique, and pin points strong feelings and emotions, and the lack of dealing with them in a relationship. The best is that there is resolution at the end. Thank you for this.
This is truly amazing! The TH-cam algorithm has somehow blessed me with this, unintentionally, but absolutely hilarious video 12 years later! The “serious” conversation about divorce, while in the middle of a photo shoot, was perfected by the sirens in the background 🤣
Then tell us what happened afterward. Did your parents actually go through with the divorce, or was your dad able to convince your mom to stay with his jokes?
An oyster? Hahahaha. An oyster...HAHAHAHA This is how I see it. There is an old parable about an old man named Jar Jar Binks. Jar Jar was once a boy who wanted so dearly to get his mom the perfect present for her birthday. He walked from store to store in search of unique gift, but nothing stood out. They were full of the same gifts: perfume, pictures frames, and trinkets that didn't quite represent the love he wanted to share. Just days away from his mom's birthday, he was without his special gift. He was anxious he would have to get his mom another uninspired trinket. Jar Jar went to the beach to think. The smells and sounds always seem to give his mind balance. He thought, "You know what? Mom will love whatever I get. The best gift is our time together." He planned to go to the store and get her a trinket and a write a beautiful card. That's when he saw it. One of the bigger waves washed up a dead osyster onto the sand. Jar Jar picked it up and noticed the poor fella' was no longer with us. The lifeless shell was not difficult to open. There it was; Jar Jar lit up when he saw the pearl inside. He a one-of-a-kind gift for his mom! It wasn't the most beautiful pearl but it had a beautiful story. Jar Jar's mom put the pearl on a ring. That ring never left her hand. And now that ring stays on old Jar Jar's necklace ever more. So you see, you say John has the emotional intelligence of an oyster because he seems disconnected and odd. But like the oyster unintendedly brought love and joy, even in it's death, so to does John bring love and joy to this scene - whether he intended to or not.
Those two should of starred in their own sitcom. She is so suffering and dry the perfect balance to his charisma and unpredictability.I could imagine them running a caravan park with all the crazy residents.
the tragedy of this is that he didn't even learn his lesson, like the majority of men never do. he just spouted a bunch of bs to keep her from leaving, and then went right back to treating her like trash cus he really couldn't care less about her. he just wants her to keep taking care of him. the American dream. and before anyone berates me that this is just an improv acting example, i know it is. it's art therefore i'm allowed to interpret it however i want :)
It's a bit surprising that multiple people in the comment section are taking "I've never thanked my shadow before" to be a thoughtful, insightful line about reckoning with conveying love through introversion and emotional barriers when, in reality, all it suggests is that the husband character takes his wife for granted. Never thanking the person who cooks you meals and never telling your spouse that you love them is inherently selfish and greedy even if (especially if) you simply hadn't ever thought it necessary. The husband character clearly appreciates the convenience of having a wife but doesn't respect her or provide for her emotionally. As you observe, this shallow gesturing that his positive associations with her (that are one-sided) are the same as love (which is two-sided) does manage to briefly convince the wife character to delay what she knows to be inevitable and necessary.
@@Br0ke67 are you serious or just trolling? How is this funny? Not to mention it's been repeated so many times for so long now that even if it WAS funny to begin with, it definitely isn't now.
the way the guy is laughing and shitty acting made this improv more meaningful. the girl gave the foundation of the story, and the guy gave it color. when i watch this, it always give me this dream like effect, almost like you are the girl, and the guy is in your dream. he doesn't makes sense and keep laughing, but you still try your best to talk to him. nothing is happening, but you just keep on going and defending yourself.
...I don't know what made this 12yr old video start showing up in people's recommended again... but I'M GLAD IT DID 😂🤷🏽♀️ So much to enjoy here... the comical randomness yet how well they pulled the imrov together and made it feel organic, relatable, and resonant in the end. Gotta love it... HAHAHAH 🙃
You know, this is really deep. I always just saw the first minute in the memes, but seeing the full video, it’s really crazy. That could actually be like a real conversation that a wife would have with her husband as he’s accidentally pushed her away and never seemed to notice anything she did for him, and she has had enough, and he doesn’t know what to do and all his mind can resort to is humor, but as she yells at him to be serious for once, his last comfort that he had in humor is gone, and he has to face the harsh facts, and it’s terrifying, he grabs at straws looking for a way to remind her that he still truly cares. And in the end after that deep ass “I’ve never thanked my shadow” they lock eyes, and that was the perfect time to end it. Beautiful fucking acting. A damn good bravo to you two.
you know, I beg to differ. I like to imagine he's not actually trying to improv as someone serious, he's more like improvising as if he seems like someone who's been caught of guard, can't face what's in front of him, and is bringing up memories and analogies to divert and get out of the situation at hand.

@@zp7741 I read Patrick stump at first and I almost cried
Honestly, this feels like improv at its finest. With nothing but one line, these two managed to weave an entire narrative in just six minutes, including a satisfying payoff at the end. The husband does a vivid performance, of course, alternating between lively and almost comical on one hand, and actually quite serious on the other. It builds the image of a man who does care about his wife but struggles to properly communicate with her and express his sincere feelings. The wife manages to convey that exasperation and frustration perfectly while also showing hints that she really did find this man's antics charming, once upon a time. The final monologue and her reaction to it feels like a culmination of everything, with the husband managing to find a way to express his true feelings while not completely shedding his humorous shield, and the wife not only finding him funny again, but managing to understand what he was trying to say and appreciate him for it.
These two bounced off each other very well, I think. They not only put on decent performances in their own right, considering only one of them had just a single line, but they also managed to build off of each other's responses in a way that's both consistent and in service of the developing narrative, all culminating in a genuinely touching moment of a man who hides behind humor actually using that humor to express vulnerability and compassion.
Very well said. It was actually really neat seeing this again after so many years, separated from all the meme edits from back in the day.
I was thinking to myself that this scene was really well written. Very charming, nice arc, and great payoff as you say. But then I read the description and the fact that this was all improv with only a single line to start is quite impressive.

To me it also seemed like she was like reconsidering the divorce, realising that for all his faults he does love her in his weird ways. Between crying of laughter, crying from sadness, and crying of joy.

Me too. I was so surprised it was able to elicit this type of emotional response from me, after convincing me within the first few seconds that it was a disaster of an acting performance. I almost feel like I've been manipulated and deceived by these two actors - they tricked me into thinking that they sucked then, right as I'm completely disengaged, they sneak in a quick a one, two combo straight to my chin for the KO.

Bro the Ponderosa monologue was pretty good improv; it actually made sense, at least more than the oyster thing
I think the oyster thing was to show his character is really bad at conveying his emotions. The ponderosa episode quote continued that but his character managed to hit the nail on the head the second try.

I mean it was alright.
Here's what I've learned from this: If your wife ever comes to you and says she wants a divorce, laugh maniacally in her face for about 4 minutes and then discus an old episode of Bonanza/Ponderosa at length until she falls in love with you all over again lol
Lmao 😂🤷🏽♀️
Do whatever you have to I guess💀💅🏽
Im bout to pull this one out on the wife. She won't see this one coming.
“I’m just this... oyster who loves you”
“So you mean I’m like... reruns”
Dude, all these wonderful lines that I’ve never heard before
And I never thank my shadow lol
His improv was full psychopath, sociopath, and on pcp all at the same time
My theory is this guy watches too many sitcoms so he’s so used to a laugh track after every sentence that it’s thrown off his emotional balance and he hears a laugh track in his head in every scenario in real life.
Don't we all
Lmaooooo
I think this is beautiful. His comicly over the top performance fits the scenerio perfectly.
Dear Duck, thank you so much for your words.
Yeah I agree. His Gen X gooberness is way too silly at first. His cadence and breath is too song-songy and his expressions are overt.
But when his silliness faded into sincerity and his story started to make sense - after that silly oyster thing - his character kinda crystalized into something real.
And credit to the woman, because her micro-expressions allowed the sincerity to be true. It wouldnt have been as effective without her anger giving way admiration.
Im seriously surprised that this worked.
Edit: im still thinking about this lol. It definitely wouldn't have worked without her supportive expressions. I'm more impressed with her acting the more I think about it. She allowed him to shine - and that's good #acting. Subtle acting is the hardest and she nailed it
Yeah. Nicholas Cage couldn't have done it better himself.
Seen clips but never saw the whole thing. My God, this is amazing for pure improve.
Wife wants a divorce due to lack of communication. Up to the husband to overcome his nervous laughter and provide that missing communication.
It was funny yet serious. 13 years late but hey, still can congratulate it, haha. Well done.
I'm in the same camp. And, as a guy who has poor communication skills and particularly struggles with articulating his own feelings, I strongly relate with the male character in this dialog, which is why that last bit elicited a few tears from me. COMPLETELY unexpected, btw.
If you paused this scene midway and asked me if I thought there would be any chance of me crying by the end of it, I would have been laughing in your face just like this guy was laughing at his wife. Yet, here I am, soaking up "eyeball sweat" as quick as I can, trying my best to hide the evidence before an unexpected pair of eyes comes shuffling into my bedroom.
Honestly this improv has a really nice story to it. I don't know if the dodging the question with laughter was intentional or because they weren't sure what to say but it was really realistic for a husband to want to dodge the question. I think she did well with her responses and the way he was telling the story seemed to have decent emotion behind it. Like it was lively. Like how someone would tell a story in real life. The siren in the background kind of grounds it and makes it more realistic. Like you can imagine the setting being a city or something like that. I could never do improv. I would laugh too much and wouldn't know what to say so i seriously applaud anyone that can do it.
Alexandra, I truly appreciate all your thoughts and comments. The laughing was not planned and was a surprise to all of us. Yes, I do believe there is a lot of reality in the scene. Thanks.
Truly I tell this, the husband’s laughter reminds me of myself two days ago.
The delivery is obviously what everyone is laughing at, but... the actual story being told is actually really good.

@@jaybee27D oh right, why? People had terrible tastes 3 years ago... and this is coming from 2021, when everyone sucks and their tastes suck even more
@@pawa7714 I think the video was mostly being viewed by drama students at the time or something. I vaguely remember most people in the comments complaining that he was doing like no acting and making her really work to come up with material, which they found cringeworthy. Not sure it’s entirely a matter of tastes changing but 🤷
He's a great unsettling character, the two have concocted a great story of hidden bitterness and resentment between them.
4:02-4:21 She's trying so hard not to lose it. As hilarious as this sketch is, props for still staying in character.
I legitimately think she's a good actress.
i dont think people understand this sequence. she is a good actress and she was acting like a wife that does remember those fond memories and cant help but laugh when she remembers it, although now she feels bitter about it. the real crack people seem to miss out is right before the video ends when they stare at each other, though i still feel like that was a rehearsed sequence too. the fact you thought she was genuinely finding the monologue funny only shows that she acted well.
That lady was hit with a fat "Popzing!" and couldn't stay mad.
@sirpepeofhousekek6741 Yeah, she really is. Part of me thinks I've seen her in something tbh she's sorta familiar. The dude seems (at least from this) like a terrible actor but a really funny guy so they both got talent in my eyes lol

No, it's pretty bad
@@g.g.moquetei think its funny
@hybridflowers5114 it's both 🤝
The acting was poor but the improv was absolutely phenomenal
i interpreted it in the beginning as john having some sort of laughing tic that he couldn't control
This is Jerma in his 50's
He broke her character when he started telling his story and as soon as he said you never thank me for making dinner he hit a nerve and she had the nam flashbacks😂
She started laughing because he brought up an episode they used to laugh at together, but got serious when she realized he was actually comparing her to the character (just a theory; definitely more likely she broke)
@tarynmichelleart nah she laughed because the actress broke character for a few seconds because of the name he was saying. Must be an inside joke
@@Journey24215She definitely broke character but within the context of the performance it actually works quite well, her transition from upset to reluctantly smiling and then to "Nam flashbacks" as OP said was actually really solid and definitely elevates this performance as a whole. Thus is the beauty of Improv.
4:29 Yea this moment is INCREDIBLY expressive, blurs the line between her acting and her reality, we honestly don't know which is which.
i'm in love with john's long winded rambles. in the context of the character i imagine he makes them as long as possible to distract from the original point
It’s amazing how improv can turn into an underlying real life Tense situation

@@mrjuanderfuI I agree. I really felt like this was an absolute mess up until he started recalling that bonanza episode; and that ending, my god, so powerful. The stare between them at the finish and the last bit that led into it - the shadow simile/ metaphor - was grade-A performance acting in my non-professional opinion.
I really wasn't expecting this one to have a chance at pulling on my emotional strings, yet, here I am trying to "hold onto my masculinity" as a well of tears attempts to form a path of least resistance down my leathery cheeks.

Never watched the whole thing, just did and I actually really like it. I love the hopeful look at the end and you realize it was intentional the whole time that they weren’t actually looking at each other. It was their first time they may have actually understood eachother in a long time.
Well said.
Wonderful actor and actress. This was very unique, and pin points strong feelings and emotions, and the lack of dealing with them in a relationship. The best is that there is resolution at the end. Thank you for this.

This is how I see it. There is an old parable about an old man named Jar Jar Binks. Jar Jar was once a boy who wanted so dearly to get his mom the perfect present for her birthday. He walked from store to store in search of unique gift, but nothing stood out. They were full of the same gifts: perfume, pictures frames, and trinkets that didn't quite represent the love he wanted to share.
Just days away from his mom's birthday, he was without his special gift. He was anxious he would have to get his mom another uninspired trinket. Jar Jar went to the beach to think. The smells and sounds always seem to give his mind balance. He thought, "You know what? Mom will love whatever I get. The best gift is our time together."
He planned to go to the store and get her a trinket and a write a beautiful card. That's when he saw it. One of the bigger waves washed up a dead osyster onto the sand. Jar Jar picked it up and noticed the poor fella' was no longer with us. The lifeless shell was not difficult to open. There it was; Jar Jar lit up when he saw the pearl inside. He a one-of-a-kind gift for his mom!
It wasn't the most beautiful pearl but it had a beautiful story. Jar Jar's mom put the pearl on a ring. That ring never left her hand. And now that ring stays on old Jar Jar's necklace ever more.
So you see, you say John has the emotional intelligence of an oyster because he seems disconnected and odd. But like the oyster unintendedly brought love and joy, even in it's death, so to does John bring love and joy to this scene - whether he intended to or not.

Those two should of starred in their own sitcom. She is so suffering and dry the perfect balance to his charisma and unpredictability.I could imagine them running a caravan park with all the crazy residents.
the tragedy of this is that he didn't even learn his lesson, like the majority of men never do. he just spouted a bunch of bs to keep her from leaving, and then went right back to treating her like trash cus he really couldn't care less about her. he just wants her to keep taking care of him. the American dream.
and before anyone berates me that this is just an improv acting example, i know it is. it's art therefore i'm allowed to interpret it however i want :)
I mean, the bullshit worked, didn't it?

Are you a lonely woman
It's a bit surprising that multiple people in the comment section are taking "I've never thanked my shadow before" to be a thoughtful, insightful line about reckoning with conveying love through introversion and emotional barriers when, in reality, all it suggests is that the husband character takes his wife for granted. Never thanking the person who cooks you meals and never telling your spouse that you love them is inherently selfish and greedy even if (especially if) you simply hadn't ever thought it necessary. The husband character clearly appreciates the convenience of having a wife but doesn't respect her or provide for her emotionally. As you observe, this shallow gesturing that his positive associations with her (that are one-sided) are the same as love (which is two-sided) does manage to briefly convince the wife character to delay what she knows to be inevitable and necessary.

You know, this is really deep. I always just saw the first minute in the memes, but seeing the full video, it’s really crazy. That could actually be like a real conversation that a wife would have with her husband as he’s accidentally pushed her away and never seemed to notice anything she did for him, and she has had enough, and he doesn’t know what to do and all his mind can resort to is humor, but as she yells at him to be serious for once, his last comfort that he had in humor is gone, and he has to face the harsh facts, and it’s terrifying, he grabs at straws looking for a way to remind her that he still truly cares. And in the end after that deep ass “I’ve never thanked my shadow” they lock eyes, and that was the perfect time to end it. Beautiful fucking acting. A damn good bravo to you two.
wow. beautifully said
Bravo Vince!!
