They're a culture rather than a genus. All of us have heard a conversation like this, where people talk about something they know nothing about, and it becomes more and more competitive and absurd as they one up each other. so well done.
"Can I have more bread". Just totally lost it. I've heard about this film for so long and have never touched it. This is simply incredible. Genius one liners all across the board.
this scene REALLY shows their incredible focus and concentration in their improvisation. They know who these characters are and they just let it rip. It's hard to grasp how they can parody so acutely on the fly playing off each other's lines. I scream with laughter.
@@Jeebizz101 Spinal Tap are an English band. Americans can't do English accents, an American who tries to do a Birmingham accent ends up sounding South African.
David St. Hubbins: "They can talk but they can't swear. There's some kind of blockage mechanism that keep 'em...it's like, it's called the anti Tourettes Syndrome...of the ape!" Bwwwaaahahahaha
Yeah, that scene had me laughing as well. They amp up the crowd like there's a massive statue about to descend onto the stage, and it's just this tiny little thing lol
Or the scene where the bassist can't get out of his little cocoon thing on stage. And when he finally breaks free, the concert is ending. That scene cracks me up.
+Jarod Smith I know! I also love it when Jeneane looks slyly out of the side of her eyes while David is talking about her and Nigel's love/hate relationship. And the release party where Nigel and David both have herpes lesions on their lips from being with the same groupie!
+Jarod Smith Since you like this kind of humor, you should watch "Difficult People" on Hulu, if you haven't already seen it. It's my new favorite. It had to replace Curb your enthusiasm because I can't find it available.
You know, it's a reflection of your intelligence (or lack thereof), if you think this. The rest of us are laughing at them (and you)! And you admit it, boast about it even.🤔
I know the feeling. I once started to swim from the coast of southern France towards Africa but had to give up after some meters because of a cramp in my left foot.
@@chrismofer Yeah, it is my son's cat and I am watching him for a bit. I refuse to give him bread but he begs for it like it is fish. He is very odd! I have told my son that cats can't digest bread so he stopped giving it to him.
There is a version of this film that came out on LaserDisc forever ago that has hours and hours of extra improvisation like this. I don't know if it has been presented again on blu ray but one Saturday many years ago a friend and I watched all of it and our cheeks hurt by dinner because we were dying laughing all day.
It's quick and easy to miss, but I love when Derek asks Nigel a _very_ good question. Nigel: *"The smaller monkeys are mainly, bread-eaters, as well, in the wild."* David: *"Really? I didn't know that."* Nigel: *"Yeah, they mostly eat bread, different types of bread, in the jungle."* Derek: *"Crusts??"* Nigel: *"No, they don't eat..."* And that's when David interrupts with his story about a bloke with a monk who ate soup.
What makes it funny is that people agree and fill in each other not because they actually agree, but to go along to get along. When one brings up the bread eating, the others fill in. It’s the same thing that Sacha Cohen does. Most people just nod and fill in, whatever stupid thing you say
When Nigel says that he could hold his own in a fight against a gorilla, that might be the single funniest moment in the spinal tap universe. Who thinks of this stuff?
It’s true. The gorilla could take the fight up to 10, but Nigel could take it up to 11! I think Nigel was just being modest!:) plus, Nigel would kick him in the gorilla’s crumbly bits. Bet that would unblock the gorilla’s anti Tourette’s. He’s probably throw the bowl of soup right at Nigel.
Spinal Tap is one of the funniest movies ever and this is the funniest scene in all of spinal tap and somehow it's not even in the actual movie. Just crazy.
English people really do discuss like this lmao got stuck with 4 English fellows at a detox holding cell one night here in Dallas.... They spent the whole night arguing like this lol
It's called a discussion in Britain, I think. Edit: Also, by "detox holding cell", do you mean the drunk tank? Otherwise it sounds as if you were im a mental institution.
GonzBry True, sarcasm is natural to the English working class, they do it all the time, you do it by never disagreeing but instead adding to each others' bull.
Just brilliant. You know it’s all ad-lib. It liked onion soup with the cheese on top 😂😂😂 they can talk, a few words like yes please 😂😂😂 anti-Tourette’s syndrome of the ape 😂😂😂😂😂
"They're not a race they're a Genus"
"Well some of them are smarter than others"
My favourite line ever.
It's hard to belive that they just improved all of that of the bat. Genus!

You can tell that a lot of this scene at least is improv. They’re talking complete nonsense lol.

None whatsoever, no.

“I’ve never been to Africa proper” wtf does that mean? Either you’ve been to the continent or you haven’t lol. I know, I know it’s a comedy.
Nigel: They like soup.

that open mouth gaze like "wot u mean?"
specie*
Well...not exactly a Species "per se", Tom, ....you see they are Genus. ("Wot's a Genus?") From the Land of William Shakespeare!
Why does it make unorthodox sense and why is it stupid but WHY IS IT FUNNY? I’ve never been to Africa proper so I’ll never know

They're all Americans too.
I DO NOT see how they can keep straight faces. That's miraculous.
@@Garrett1240 Which is kinda funny, because Nigel is a baron in the British peerage. He actually sat in the house of lords.

Sardonic humour is natural to the British working class, they do it all the time.

bruh, i was just thinking this is how most of my conversations would sound to outsiders haha
Trying to explain how men can be women and women can be men
🤣
"20 million dead"
"it'll work this time"
When Nigel says at the start, "None whatsoever, no", he almost bursts out laughing
I know right! It's so lovely to see actors get tickled!
Viv Savage is having trouble keeping it together at times.
The delivery here is spectacular. They convince you that they believe this and it almost comes off as intellectual and true. It’s so damn good.
Love the deleted scenes its like a whole other movie
I thought the whole deleted portion of the movie was funnier than the actual movie.
Jarod Smith same here!!
@@DeadPixel1105 it may have been funnier, but it wasn't a movie, that's the crux. Movies have to make sense, mostly.

What a shame this was cut from the film. One of the all-time great comedic trios.

Anti Tourette syndrome.. I think that was the most serious comment of them all😂
"blockage mechanism" !
I don't care how many times I see this movie, it still brings tears of laughter to my face. Pure genius.
Genus* 😅
One of my favorite scenes ever, even though it wasn't in the movie, proper.
I was randomly cracking up at work tonight, like a crazy person, every time I thought of:
"Can I have more bread?"
I start busting up at work all the time thinking about "The little people of Stonehenge" and their statue was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf!
Yeah, that scene had me laughing as well. They amp up the crowd like there's a massive statue about to descend onto the stage, and it's just this tiny little thing lol
Or the scene where the bassist can't get out of his little cocoon thing on stage. And when he finally breaks free, the concert is ending.

This is all ad-libbed...brilliant!
Your comment is brilliant!
As always Christopher Guest AKA Nigel always seems the most in character LOL ridiculously funny
This is like every episode of Joe Rogan's podcast summed up in less than 2 minutes lol
Yes! It's like they time traveled forward, listened to his podcast, went back to 1982, and made this film as a parody of his bullsh*t!
Omg how this scene was edited out of the final cut I'll never know! This is hilarious!
'I've never been to Africa, proper' omfg lol
I want to know where he actually went!
Do not let Racists run with that line😢
Y'know, just by how they talk, it actually sounds as if they know what they're talking about. Like what they're saying is factual.
Like any politician since the dawn of history
@@Shinkajo I knew that was gonna be good
You mean it isn’t?

Absolute drivel

I fucking died.
"Well I knew a monk! I knew a bloke who had a monk and it ate soup."

So many great lines in this clip. LOL.
"It's a nation of peaceful sort of citizens, really". Good Lord, I die every time I see this.

I like this movie but I love it with the DVD cometary even more. It's the three main characters talking like this over the whole film and it's a riot.
I know, like before it begins, how it's just a black screen and they're talking about it. Nigel even uses the "None more black" line again.
“They’ve developed no baking skills...”
😂
I just realized this movie and Best in Show mention soup😂😂😂
"They can use automated cash registers." I've seen this a million times and every time I hear something new that just cracks me up....
There is no way this scene could be scripted. Lol!
it would have read so weirdly on paper. It's the British accents that make it, for sure.
Of course it’s not
And none of this is in the movie. Think about that for a moment. Absolute masterclass of improvisation.
Seriously! It's like how, "Hey Hey What Can I Do", was left off of Led Zeppelin III.
It's quick and easy to miss, but I love when Derek asks Nigel a _very_ good question.
Nigel: *"The smaller monkeys are mainly, bread-eaters, as well, in the wild."*
David: *"Really? I didn't know that."*
Nigel: *"Yeah, they mostly eat bread, different types of bread, in the jungle."*
Derek: *"Crusts??"*
Nigel: *"No, they don't eat..."*
And that's when David interrupts with his story about a bloke with a monk who ate soup.
This is like a Picasso, every time i watch this i laugh about something different
This is my favorite cut scene from the film. It truly is the best.

When Derek said "Can I have more bread?" I lost it
"They can use computers."
Interestingly enough, some apes have been taught to use computers as a means of communication since they can't speak.
they can use automated cash registers too
Some of them even have youtube channels. I think one ape is called Logan.
TH-cam is the proof.

Absolutely lost it when the bass player says “they can operate automated cash registers”. Love how they make him say the dumbest things in the movie
"They can talk, a few words. 'Yes please', little things like that".... "Can I have more bread?"
They must have had some serious stoney face practise for making this film. It all feels mostly improvised, I don't know how nobody loses it.
"we love you very much, come to the show tonight" :D :D

Love how they are mimicking the guy down the pub who has seen something on a documentary and completely mis remembering it.
I can't believe Saul Goodman's older brother was lead for Spinal Tap. 🎸
He's a legend.
It's like a Facebook discussion on geopolitics.
"No baking skills" hahahaha
That's your average discussion by a group of British lads.
Spinal Tap should do a final last " End of the Rope Tour " to close out their long-running iconic career.
Maybe they should do a documentary lol

You are implying Karl is stupid and i think that's very unfair.
1:37 looks like he's fighting back from cracking a smile about what ridiculousness he's about to say lol
how did they improv this whole movie without cracking a smile?
Each scene must have had 74 takes!!!
They actually almost break several times. Watch Derek when they are at Elvis' grave for example.
