They weren't comic relief in the book, though it makes perfect sense to make them so--all the other characters were tragic, broken people so laughing at any of them would be distasteful. It only follows that the musical turns the two characters who _aren't_ tragic into comic relief.
Katelyn Schmidt Did you think they both had Thenardier for a first name? Or have you somehow navigated Harry Potter without ever noticing the name Dursley? I can’t decide which is worse... 😜
Only Sacha Baron Cohen could play a character like this in a movie version of a musical. The best comical relief I've ever seen in a dramatic movie like this.
Well, it’s a point in the book. Eponine used to be a terrible spoiled bullying girl, who was horrible to Cosette, but descending into poverty and never getting the man she loved really broke her down and forced her to build herself into a new woman.
I was wondering what he was going for... It's not a very good French accent. Sometimes he almost sounds Italian instead, like his Pirelli character in Sweeney Todd. But why would Thenardier be the only one with a French accent, given that they're all supposed to be French?...
A french accent is very eloquent whereas an exxagetated british accent can be percieved as impropper, so basicly im saying it was on purpose, makes him seem like hes more upper class
As a British stage production, actors simply used their own voices. It's mostly tragic melodrama. But the Thenadier's are comic relief. Some stage productions overplay their roles with a Cockney accent, while others poked fun at the French (an English national sport) with an exaggerated French accent. Sasha is doing the latter.
I think it has more to do with the fact that singing disrupts natural speech flow so your less likely to have a noticeable accent while singing. It’s a trick used by some polyglots to learn new languages. If you want an example, look at all the international Got Talent videos of people in non English speaking countries, singing in English.
@@Robynhoodlum no he mainly uses French when he's trying to impress new clients. He has a cockney accent in the beginning, when he's just singing to himself/to the passed out drunks. then, when clean new clients come in, he puts on a french accent to seem more appealing to them
Whizzer Brown I watched it in school and my teacher couldn’’t figure out how to lower the volume so it was loud as hell and well.... just imagine a ton of ppl walking by the door hearing ”OH SANTA” 😂🤔
Everyone hating on this, I really do hope you know they sang EVERYTHING in the movie live and had one take for it (They didn’t record it in a studio and put the sound over, they just sang it all live))
Yeah, that's why I'm not a fan. It's impressive, sure, but... they could've just dubbed it and it would've probably been fine. I see this film more as an interesting experiment than a successful finished product.
Hamiltrash, I agree. It's much more difficult if you sing it live to the camera with one take. While you are technically singing live when on stage, usually, you've had adamant rehearsal time (including the understudies) to get it right, and, if you are ill enough not to do it, your understudy should know the role well enough to take it on. So yes, a valiant effort to do it on film in one take, and Sacha isn't a trained singer, aside from his voice.
"I just keep singing it over and over. It just comes out. I have no control over it. I'm singing it on elevators, buses. I sing it infront of clients. It's taking over my life." - George Castanza
Borat And Bellatrix in a movie about Gladiator chasing down Wolverine, who helps Catwoman and Little Red Riding Hood, during a Revolution with Newt Scamander. Who've I left out?
Just so you know that baby they give away is Gavorche... also eponine's last word would have been 'grow' but she died and gavorche's last word would have been 'up' but he died too. 'Grow up' Neither got to Grow Up😭
So I’m normally against blatant comic relief characters on principal, but these two just work so well. They do an amazing job with the physical comedy, they’re totally in sync with the entire operation, and they fit the time period and circumstances so well. It’s almost like their existence just works to show more of the effects of the awful society they’re a part of. Plus it’s Cohen and Carter.

For the kind of sound this piece should have, the musical version sounds too clean, in my opinion. That said, both version are amazing, and probably the preference of any of them by anyone would be based more on personal preferences, rather than an actual better performance of one of the two cast.

When you're used to listening to the stage versions, this one makes them sound as if they've been sedated. Yet I loved both Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter in Sweeney Todd, which had the same type of energetic songs requiring a lot of acting as well as singing.
I like it too. There's a sort of logic as well that if you act a certain way, the rest will follow (so herd mind?), so the fact that they act tired and drunk could make sense.
My favourite song in the film. Love Helena's verse. Only performance of Sacha's that I've seen him do in his natural accent. (British) Now I'll forever see him as a singing scoundrel or a royal (self titled) lemur
@@JellyMyst if you notice he seems to only put on the French accent when he's being deceptive to people. When he's singing to his friends and family, he uses a British accent.

Really enjoyed this movie, I never watched a movie based off a play. All the actors did a excellent job, singing, dancing, and playing their parts. Had to rewatch it with the subtitles on, and understood it better
This song is addicting. The innkeeper and his wife are so greedy and evil it’s comical, and everyone else singing along is so drunk that they’re happy to go along with it.
🖤🖤Helena Bonham Carter & Sacha Baron Cohen Mrs. Lovett & Adolfo Pirelli in "Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", Madame Thénardier & Monsieur Thenardier in "Les Miserables", & Iracebeth the Red Queen & Time in "Alice Through the Looking Glass"
my school "turkey" is too light to be dark meat and too light to be light meat, it's all one color which is weird. you won't through away most of the "turkey" and it has a clammy taste.
That line was also in the stage musical and doesn't even need to be true. It's my interpretation they're putting on a quarrelling couple act to both garner sympathy from different parts of their clientele.
To this kid, anyway. They threw their son out on the streets... Not to mention how they treated Cosette. She wasn't their own but she was still just a kid.
Even with my eyes closed I recognised Sacha Baron Cohen. Love this scene. There is no other role than Monsieur Thénardier that is made for him. It adds a distinctive quality to the character, doesn't it?
I sang this in a school talent show when I was 15 and the teacher told me to leave out all the rude words, but then he played this version of the song with the lyrics, so it didn’t matter anyway.
Everyone is in agreement that this movie is a disaster, but there’s something in the almost deformed adaptation that makes it an absolute delight to witness. Especially this sequence, which is just wonderful.. I could watch it a hundred times through.
You know, Schumann went mad from that. He went crazy from one note. He couldn't get it out of his head. I think it was an A. He kept repeating it over and over again. He had to be institutionalized.
I was about to say that this was the best song in the musical. But then I think of all the others and I can't pick a best one because they're all so good.
There was a lot in this movie (a lot) that ranged from questionable to just plain bad, but there are two things about this movie I know to be true. 1. Samantha Barks is a queen who stood head and shoulders above everyone else in this movie (I know she’s not in this clip but it just needs to be stated). 2. Sacha and Helena flaming nailed it!
So long ago yet I still notice small visual gags I hadn't before. My favorite is how the blonde street kid later in the story is the baby they swapped the man's briefcase for.
The only comedic relief in this emotional rollercoaster of a movie
You forgot the bits where Russell Crow sings.
RIP my sides.
I suppose you aren't one to appreciate the comedy in hilariously bad acting.
They weren't comic relief in the book, though it makes perfect sense to make them so--all the other characters were tragic, broken people so laughing at any of them would be distasteful. It only follows that the musical turns the two characters who _aren't_ tragic into comic relief.
@@1painting434 I genuinely loved Russel Crowe's singing
The Thenaidiers make the Dursleys from Harry Potter look like appropriate guardians.
Yes
In care wise, yes the dursleys are better, personality, I love the thenardiers
@@sapphicmoonlightlilith who ?
Katelyn Schmidt
Did you think they both had Thenardier for a first name? Or have you somehow navigated Harry Potter without ever noticing the name Dursley?
I can’t decide which is worse... 😜
To be fair in the playbill I have for les mis they're just marked as ¨Inn keeper¨ and ¨Inn keeper's wife¨
Only Sacha Baron Cohen could play a character like this in a movie version of a musical. The best comical relief I've ever seen in a dramatic movie like this.
Seems like he's having a blast 😂😂😂
Have you seen Alun Armstrong? His version is brilliant!
He's like King Julien at second best running the inn for a two timing dirty lying sneaky cheating lowdown backstabbing thief.
Love this movie but that camera movement gave me a headache.
Let's just all agree on two things
1. Helena is AMAZING
2.Most of the characters she plays are either wicked, funny, or both.
I've seen funnier Madame Thenardiers. And Madame Thenardier was usually played as a homely big woman.
She’s great in Fight Club.
MakeupLover 24 I don’t agree
Helena worked with Gaulier and he didn't like her one bit.
Peyton _24 and she's badass at it
While Voldemort was recovering, Bellatrix had to lie low for a while
Mackenzie Sigmon omg
Omg yes
And we mean really low. Like rock bottom low
Haha lol
breaking news: actors are in other movies and harry potter is for morons
How the hell does eponie grow into such a wonderful, honest, brave girl, I would never know
I had the exact same thought watching this!
Well, it’s a point in the book. Eponine used to be a terrible spoiled bullying girl, who was horrible to Cosette, but descending into poverty and never getting the man she loved really broke her down and forced her to build herself into a new woman.

Lol Sacha Baron Cohen was the only one who even attempted a French accent in this film
I was wondering what he was going for... It's not a very good French accent. Sometimes he almost sounds Italian instead, like his Pirelli character in Sweeney Todd. But why would Thenardier be the only one with a French accent, given that they're all supposed to be French?...
@@aramis5301 I always thought the purpose of his distinct accent was just to show how he puts on airs to trick his customers into feeling greater ease
but... but Gavroche ;-;
A french accent is very eloquent whereas an exxagetated british accent can be percieved as impropper, so basicly im saying it was on purpose, makes him seem like hes more upper class

Helena has made food from random animals in a weirdly high number of musicals.

Did you just call humans "random animals"?

I just noticed that tonight!
@@richardharoldmeddows728 probably has a small water container built into his costume and a pipe to replicate his penis
I love how he keeps switching from a british to a french accent
It's cause accent represents class in the movie
French - high class
British (more specifically cockney) - poor
I think it has more to do with the fact that singing disrupts natural speech flow so your less likely to have a noticeable accent while singing. It’s a trick used by some polyglots to learn new languages. If you want an example, look at all the international Got Talent videos of people in non English speaking countries, singing in English.
yes, it keeps throwing me off!

It's either you haven't listened to the other songs or you just genuinely really like this song

and they also sing

I went to see it last week. I can’t get it out of my head. I just keep singing it over and over. It just comes out. I have no control over it. I’m singing it on elevators, buses. I sing it in front of clients. It’s taking over my life.
Yeah it’s going take about 8 months to get rid of it and about 2 years to forget about it entirely just to remember it about 6 years later.
I was never really into the Thernadiers when I'd seen stage versions but Helena and Sacha just kill it. This is my favourite scene now.

And meet the best innkeeper in town
As for the rest, all of 'em crooks:
Rooking their guests and crooking the books
Seldom do you see
Honest men like me
A gent of good intent
Who's content to be
Master of the house, doling out the charm
Ready with a handshake and an open palm
Tells a saucy tale, makes a little stir
Customers appreciate a bon-viveur
Glad to do a friend a favor
Doesn't cost me to be nice
But nothing gets you nothing
Everything has got a little price!
Master of the house, keeper of the zoo
Ready to relieve 'em of a sou or two
Watering the wine, making up the weight
Pickin' up their knick-knacks when they can't see straight
Everybody loves a landlord
Everybody's bosom friend
I do whatever pleases
Jesus! Won't I bleed 'em in the end!
Master of the house, quick to catch yer eye
Never wants a passerby to pass him by
Servant to the poor, butler to the great
Comforter, philosopher, and lifelong mate!
Everybody's boon companion
Everybody's chaperone
But lock up your valises
Jesus! Won't I skin you to the bone!
Food beyond compare. Food beyond belief
Mix it in a mincer and pretend it's beef
Kidney of a horse, liver of a cat
Filling up the sausages with this and that
Residents are more than welcome
Bridal suite is occupied
Reasonable charges
Plus some little extras on the side!
(Oh Santa!)
Charge 'em for the lice, extra for the mice
Two percent for looking in the mirror twice
Here a little slice, there a little cut
Three percent for sleeping with the window shut
When it comes to fixing prices
There are a lot of tricks I knows
How it all increases, all them bits and pieces
Jesus! It's amazing how it grows!
(Oh, sorry love
Let's get something done about that)
I used to dream that I would meet a prince
But God Almighty, have you seen what's happened since?
Master of the house? Isn't worth my spit!
Comforter, philosopher' and lifelong shit!
Cunning little brain, regular Voltaire
Thinks he's quite a lover but there's not much there
What a cruel trick of nature landed me with such a louse
God knows how I've lasted living with this bastard in the house!
Master of the house!
Master and a half!
Comforter, philosopher
Don't make me laugh!
Servant to the poor, butler to the great
Hypocrite and toady and inebriate!
Everybody bless the landlord!
Everybody bless his spouse!
Everybody raise a glass
Raise it up the master's arse
Everybody raise a glass to the Master of the House!
I love how he changes his accent once the wealthy customers come in.
I love this so much, these two are brilliant together, Helena is really good with Johnny depp too
Love those last twenty seconds!! 4:35 the instrumental part at the end fits perfectly in how funny, miserable and dirty is the place where they are
Am I the only one thinking Helena is HOT AS HELL???
she always is
Nope
Bit too gothic
Shes constantly hot as hell
Lol no absolutely not
This is the best song/scene in the whole movie adaptation. For multiple reasons. Perfect casting!
Me: Wishing Helena was sitting on my lap no matter the reason
Same lmao
This man is making so many health code violations! I'd yelp the hell outta him.
Cosette should have reported the health code violations
*I’d yelp the hell outta him*
They lose the inn later in the book/movie because people eventually caught on to how terrible their business was.
Funny to see a libertarian whine about enforcing regulations.
@@JakabBigShow makes the best kind of pie
Even if you don't like Les Misérables", you are obliged to love the song ^^
I’ve been a landlord for ten years. This is my jam!
"Oh santa" 😂
I saw this for world history, I was cracking up at that part😂🤣
Thenadier: Seldom do you see, honest men like me...
Also thenadier: steals the guys hat while saying that.
i played Gavroche in a production that i did when i was younger and wow! it was educational! that's for sure!
Really enjoyed this movie, I never watched a movie based off a play. All the actors did a excellent job, singing, dancing, and playing their parts. Had to rewatch it with the subtitles on, and understood it better
This song is addicting. The innkeeper and his wife are so greedy and evil it’s comical, and everyone else singing along is so drunk that they’re happy to go along with it.
Helena Bonham Carter is just AMAZING!!❤️
Yes!!
🖤🖤Helena Bonham Carter & Sacha Baron Cohen
Mrs. Lovett & Adolfo Pirelli in "Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street",
Madame Thénardier & Monsieur Thenardier in "Les Miserables", & Iracebeth the Red Queen & Time in "Alice Through the Looking Glass"
god they're both so attractive
What they put in the food sounds like public school lunches...
Maybe the people behind school lunches watched Les Mis when they were coming up with the menus...
I don't think anyone who's running the public school systems has that much taste or class to be quite honest with you.
Yeah. I think you are right about that.
my school "turkey" is too light to be dark meat and too light to be light meat, it's all one color which is weird. you won't through away most of the "turkey" and it has a clammy taste.
Well done Sacha!!! Master of disguise!! Brilliant!
So this is what George wouldn't stop freakin singing.
Schuman...
Haha that’s why I’m here
Nicholas i want to hear him singing les mis now
Pipe down chorus boy
Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter are amazing in their movies but what they did in Les Miserables was perfection
This is like one of my favourite songs from this musical and I used to listen to it as a kid not realising what they were singing lmao
Just realized the genius of having him literally catch the guy’s eye at 2:21 right when they say “quick to catch your eye”
Love this song. My favourite from Les Miserables. Helena Bonham Carter's parts are hilarious. 😂😍
The man Helena is flirting with.... that's the man who shot garvroche. He killed her son,
wait no! the soldier who i thought was hot? 😭😭
Gavroche isn't her son, is he?
@@Joe_Cool_irl theres no way...
I've seen it. Or is it only mentioned in the book
@@rpminergabe2953 well, if you watch on Amazon there is trivia on the side and it says he’s Eponine’s brother so yeah. Hope this helps?
What's his name? 🥴🤤
We watched this in class when we read les miserables, and all my language arts teacher had to say after this scene was "ooh Santa."
I like how Sacha gives him more of an accent over the production’s Thénardiers
"thinks he's quite a lover but there's not much there" ..ummmm y'all seen him in Sweeney Todd?
toOmoide I will never see pirelli the same way in that movie again... o-o
That line was also in the stage musical and doesn't even need to be true. It's my interpretation they're putting on a quarrelling couple act to both garner sympathy from different parts of their clientele.
More importantly, she says that then THE WOMEN ALL STARE AT HIS D I C K
🤣🤣 he was packing... ah large banana in his pocket 😁
@@murjanipeterson9825 🤣🤣
Awe I love how sweet he is to his kid
To this kid, anyway. They threw their son out on the streets... Not to mention how they treated Cosette. She wasn't their own but she was still just a kid.
There will never be a better version than this
“Food beyond compare, food beyond belief”
*cuts off cat tail and throughs it in the pot”
Liver of a cat
*chops of the tail
Comforter, phylosopher and biologist
Even with my eyes closed I recognised Sacha Baron Cohen. Love this scene. There is no other role than Monsieur Thénardier that is made for him. It adds a distinctive quality to the character, doesn't it?
The dark humor in this scene never fail to make me giggle in sadness
I fell in love with this musical when I was 13, and waited decades for this iteration to be made when I was 29
I sang this in a school talent show when I was 15 and the teacher told me to leave out all the rude words, but then he played this version of the song with the lyrics, so it didn’t matter anyway.
Everyone is in agreement that this movie is a disaster, but there’s something in the almost deformed adaptation that makes it an absolute delight to witness. Especially this sequence, which is just wonderful.. I could watch it a hundred times through.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the movie but this scene was so good and these two did an amazing job!
Bellatrix and the others deatheaters after Voldemorts death. (If they actually lived I mean) 😂
I was looking to see if someone would say that 😂😂
LmAOOO
Ayesta Z omfg yass. And got a tme turner.
Ayesta Z nope Bellatrix dead death by ginger
😂😂😂😂
You know, Schumann went mad from that. He went crazy from one note. He couldn't get it out of his head. I think it was an A. He kept repeating it over and over again. He had to be institutionalized.
I like how Monsieur Thenardier is the only one in the whole movie with a French accent.
Even funnier that, despite being fully capable of a good french accent, he chose to go full pepe le pew lol
he only does it when decieving richer guys to impress them lmao
and my name is BORAT and I am the master of the house.
calviniron13 wawaweewa king in the castle, king in the castle, oh go do this, go do that, king in the castle
I heard boar rat
*my name uh borat
I love Eponine in this it’s the only time you see the three of them as a happy family
0:58, 3:05, 4:33
This song is such a earwormer that George Constanza has it stuck in his head for a week. Yes, I arrived here from the jacket episode of Seinfeld.
I love the little "No no no. Not tonight."
Where was that part? 😂
This movie is Gold. Personally one of my favorites. 🍻
Sacha Baron Cohen is a legend!
I was about to say that this was the best song in the musical. But then I think of all the others and I can't pick a best one because they're all so good.

Sasha and Helena always make a good team
Sacha
There was a lot in this movie (a lot) that ranged from questionable to just plain bad, but there are two things about this movie I know to be true.
1. Samantha Barks is a queen who stood head and shoulders above everyone else in this movie (I know she’s not in this clip but it just needs to be stated).
2. Sacha and Helena flaming nailed it!
So long ago yet I still notice small visual gags I hadn't before. My favorite is how the blonde street kid later in the story is the baby they swapped the man's briefcase for.
this movie is an emotional roller coaster of sadness and excitement
Thank you for (imo) the best performance in this piece, Sasha
Do right wingers even realize how relevant this song is to modern times?
Long live mlm
@@williambenefiel6646 I'm confused as to what you mean by this - I don't rember Thénardier running a MLM scheme or being gay
HELENA IS A GOD, I LOVE HER!
Normally I can't stand or take musicals in general seriously, but I love this tune so catchy and funny 🤣
If you’re not here for Helena or because this is the best song in the musical then what are you doing here?!?!🖐😔
Some people are sadly here for “Santa” but you have a point I’m here bc of Helena and bc I love the song is the only reason I watched the movie 😂
Sacha
