I remember the actor who plays Cantor talking about doing this scene. He said it was a very hard scene to do because the Michael K. Williams and the other guy "are just the nicest guys in real life." They were trying so hard to be intimidating and he was trying so hard to look scared and inevitably, one of them would start laughing and it would set them all off!!
Are you know what to me when I first saw this I thought it was very funny as well only too funny and you have to know he's a Michael or the guy who was doing the host routine you know they was going to bust out and start laughing.. only when I did my own research about the guy who was doing the singing routine that's when I began to actually know how serious it was supposed to be supposed to
Chalky was not Gyp Rosetti. In fact, Eddie could have been killed by Gyp for interrupting Gyp mid-sentence, but Gyp got distracted by something else so Eddie never learned how close he came to a brutal death.
Lol right. My favorite part is when the guy starts explaining why he can't and Chalky cuts him off and asks if there's anywhere he'd like em to sit. Lol

Yea it was a nice wave that season they were working together. They went a little too hard on Dunn after he killed that talent manager..started treating him like a stooge. Then again, he was always mad jealous of Chalky..probably wasn’t meant to be.
A really great actor that needs to be getting more big Hollywood roles. He’s paid some righteous dues playing some really great roles. He deserves more than “Hap & Leonard” on Netflix, an admittedly good show. Although who knows. Netflix may be paying the biggest bucks in the business these days.
This is one of those brilliant scenes before the complications of telling a compelling story get in the way of two characters that work great as allies…Chalky and Dunn were great together, the way they circle around the prey like two sharks is terrifying and hilarious at the same time
+ISureDoLikeCats actually he's correct, whether the mafia or street gangs, research has shown rather consistently that such groups accomplish more through the threat of violence than the actual usage of violence...or as it is more commonly referred....INTIMIDATION TACTICS....
buddhafyre I think it's a fantastic scene with solid performances however I do not believe it can be called a "hidden message". In fact I am not entirely sure that it can even be called a *message* at all It is just "what is happening in the scene". I feel to point out something that is so patently obvious in the comment section of a TH-cam is, at the very best, redundant and is insulting to our intelligence at the worst. In conclusion I think the faux-analysis, with it's grandiose language and the "Beating around the bush" structure usually used by students who need to pad out a poorly planed essay, came across as pretentious. I think the well loved Shakespearean poet and playwright "William Shakespeare" said it best when he said that "Brevity is the soul of wit". It is because of this quotation, that Mr.W.Shakespeare said, I believe it is best to just make a point in as few choice words as possible as that demonstrates a true mastery of the English language especially because that is why I believe the comment was made. To sum up; I don't believe this comment was left in an attempt to share an astute observation about an otherwise esoteric extract of contemporary film art, I believe it was left in and attempt to show of. In short; The showing of is, in it's self, not much of a problem in-fact almost all of humanities greatest achievements where made in an attempt to show of: Tutankhamun built the Sphinx in order to make is dick look big as well as to make every forget about his gammy leg, Van Gogh cut his ear of to appear all nonchalant and cool for some girl or whatever and I kill squirrels with a hammer to assert my authority to dinner guests. So basically the showing of is not what i have a problem with...It is the cack-handedness of the attempt. The comment is rife with grammatical and spelling errors...But it's late and I've been typing this comment for hours so maybe i should sum this up. So essentially what I'm trying to say is; If you've got a point to make...Just hurry up and make it...It's not cool to ramble on and on, using fancy words in an attempt to impress strangers on the internet, Unless you're satirising the very concept of "rambling on and on" and "using fancy words in an attempt to impress strangers on the internet" in order to make a point like I am right now...Then it's funny and sexy and clever and you look really cool in front of everyone. So in conclusion...*Ure dumb.* Lot's of loves and hugs- ISureDoLikeCats xoxox
@@FOXSUSENKO He means in contrast to today. Grown men walking around in wife beaters with their pants hanging off their ass. Even the black gangsters here were respectable.
FOXO you ain’t smart buck, back then there was no such thing as just buying clothes off the rack, everyone was dressed dapper as fuck (even poor people) because you had to get all your clothes made to fit. Pretty much everything you owned was tailored, but you only had a few outfits if you were poor. So actually, yes, it was historically accurate from a “tv show made in 2012.”
No I don't think so, some people just have that habbit of putting their hands in front their mouth when they watch something, like a movie or paint. I do it all the time.
"Ain't a Cabby" This shows how fickle and spoiled Nucky is. Eddie Cantor had a contract to perform with another show. A man's word is his word and now he has to ruin his reputation because your skeezer is depressed about her current musical.
Its a good thing he didn't do his black face routine lol (look it up, Eddie Cantor did such a song unfortunately, though hopefully he didn't mean it in malice)
Boardwalk Empire is such a great series! Its not allot of action, but its scenes like this that makes this one of the best series today! In my opinion...this and The Sopranos are one of the BEST series around!
Solid acting at the end…the short breathes he takes in between the singing is because the airway is constricting due to the panic / adrenaline setting in… …but he’s also hilariously a performer; so he’s also making sure what he sings is still clear (and it actually is!). The defeated flop at the end when he can’t continue was solid gold. Behind the scenes, those pauses might actually have been the actor trying not to laugh…if so, that’s a nice way to twist the appearance.
One of my favorite scenes. Making a white male who's social status as a white male was so assumed w/o a thought got corrected about where he stood in comparison to black gangsters.... The irony of the scene is he unassumingly thought they were cab drivers, but ended up having to shuck and jive for 2 black men... lol
Ummm if that was the intention of this scene... But I'm going for a stretch here and sayyyyyy you're a Marxist arent you? It's ok if you are... there's treatments for that amico 😎🔥

@@alliwishis_2This was confusing to read.
@@shinsukenakamura1288 oh Indeed
Calling Chalky "Milky" - I'm amazed he got out of there alive.
Chalky wasnt Gyp Rosetti. Its an honest mistake.
Lol truth, but Chalky had a cooler head than Gyp
"You Eddie Cantor ain't you"
"Depends on how big the bill is."
😂😂🤣🤣chalky reaction
Chalky was not Gyp Rosetti. In fact, Eddie could have been killed by Gyp for interrupting Gyp mid-sentence, but Gyp got distracted by something else so Eddie never learned how close he came to a brutal death.
Poor guy, he's never been muscled before. Took a him a while, but he finally realized how this was gonna end..
Lol right. My favorite part is when the guy starts explaining why he can't and Chalky cuts him off and asks if there's anywhere he'd like em to sit. Lol
He hurts for being bested
"you're milky ain't ya?"
"you're a parrot aint u"?
Reminds me of in The Sopranos when cousimano's wife's Sure referred to Meadow as Fielder
At the “you’re milky ain’t ya” My stepmom literally said “oof strike one” when we watched this scene the first time lol
grantd165 "Chalky"
I was dead ass hearing that shit.
These overcoats are among the most stylish things I've ever seen, I want those so bad!
Lucas Zech trust me it just adds that extra bit of badass

I love how his trans-atlantic accent just disappears at the end when he submits to them
dukenukem252 😭😭😩☠️
Lol 😀
Fear, the great motivator
2:46 look like he’s bout. to be asleep 😴
All three were fantastic in Boardwalk Empire
Purnsley had that can’t be trusted look to him the entire time he was on the show.
Paul Rodriguez He never forgot the beating he took in prison when he tried to mess with Chalky.
Ikr
Right? That guy seemed like a Snake from the beginning!
Like a...
...Diamondback...😏
He pulls off that malicious smile/grin perfectly.
MalcolmTurnerKing I see what you did there.
Purnsley is one scary looking dude.
purnsely said make it something funny with a dead ass look on is face like he ready to fuck his shit up.
Jay Reffner Purnsley be Dunn
imagine dropping the soap and seeing purnsley behind you
On account of the rules of the venue
He is
I wish that Chalky, and Purnsley, hadn't had a falling out. They were such a great team :(
Elephants Are Cool sucks that Purnsley ended up being a no good traitor
Katrina Ezeiyi purnsely was cool tell he got asshole doctor .
Purnsley just wanted 15 minutes worth of jelly
Purnsley was always a bit of a loose cannon.
Yea it was a nice wave that season they were working together. They went a little too hard on Dunn after he killed that talent manager..started treating him like a stooge. Then again, he was always mad jealous of Chalky..probably wasn’t meant to be.
why would he choose the gayest performance in his arsenal?
Because he was gay
The guy had 5 kids
He was gay and jewish... What do you expect
Kbholla 😂😂😂😂
Self deprecation can be hilarious
We simple folk
Make it something funny...

Michael K. Williams is the most nonchalant "villian or antivillian" I ever seen....Great Great actor....
Jerry Mitchell - He was awesome in The Wire..."Its Omar!...Omar is coming!"
A really great actor that needs to be getting more big Hollywood roles. He’s paid some righteous dues playing some really great roles. He deserves more than “Hap & Leonard” on Netflix, an admittedly good show. Although who knows. Netflix may be paying the biggest bucks in the business these days.
Rip Michael K. Williams
the same actor who plays PRUNSLEY was in LUKE CAGE..i know he probably hates being cast as the heavy all the time but he's just so damn good at it
Eddie needn't have worried Chalky didn't do the "this here muh daddy's tools" routine...
Marie Adams lol daddy,s tool the best chalky white scene.
@ŇøHă Ģ. lol he's more like the teacher's little bitch
"These are my daddy's tool" *puts on tap dancing shoes*
@seanjones2524 "these here my momma's shoes..."
This is one of those brilliant scenes before the complications of telling a compelling story get in the way of two characters that work great as allies…Chalky and Dunn were great together, the way they circle around the prey like two sharks is terrifying and hilarious at the same time
This scene answer on how the criminals scare people into compliance without the use of naked force but just with suggestive violence.
Ure dumb.
You're just a coward as bitch!

Don't know why, but if a guy with Purnsley's face appeared at my door, my first thought wouldn't be that he's here to help me. More break my legs.
Just imagine one of them trying to hold back their laughter from how ridiculous he made himself look trying to perform 😂😂😂
Chalky and Purnsley stole the episode with this scene
I never missed an episode of Boardwalk.
One of the best series ever.
chalky and pernsly make excellent partners, wish we got to see more of them work together.
"Lucy Danziger, ever heard of her? the next one won't know a damn thing about you either" Gotta love Eddie C
That's the best line I would they would have added it to the end of this.
Gangsters was so CLEAN back in the day
+Jay T9 And you base that knowledge on the TV show made in 2012? Ain't smart buck.
FOXO well you got a a point but they busted there ass to replicate it, so it's somewhat accurate
@@FOXSUSENKO He means in contrast to today. Grown men walking around in wife beaters with their pants hanging off their ass. Even the black gangsters here were respectable.

Black or white, they all had fine threads.
Like how dude was giving reasons why he couldn't do it and Chalky interrupted him asking where they should sit. Lol
Rest In Power Mr Michael Williams 🙏🏽 God speed and thanks for the memorable performances.
I really enjoyed the congruent duality Chalk and Purnsley had before things went bad
I bet they couldn't get through this without cracking up.
one of the funniest scenes in the series. 😂😂😂😂
Duns face when he says … “on account of the rules of the venue” 🤣🤣🤣
Rest in Peace.. Michael K Williams. Thank you for sharing with us your great talent. God Bless you Sir xxxxx
I wish Pernsley and Chalky had worked together more as a team. They could have been a great team like Lucky Lucciano and Meyer Lansky.
"we simple folk"....my best character ever!! Love you Chalky!! RIP
the art of intimidation ....
Like many scenes in Boardwalk, this is brilliantly written and brilliantly acted.
Purnsley’s facial expressions are everything in this scene 😂
"We simple folk." lol
The way they sit there, just staring reminds me of the clip Run DMC/Aerosmith - Walk this way
Now I see why Erik LaRay Harvey was picked for Diamondback in _Luke Cage_.
Seconded.
Have mercy, Opie. You had it once before
2:28 ...🤣 YA KNOW Michael was holdin back laughin there! LOL!! Probably took 3 or 4 takes to get that scene! LOL
More like 10 takes.
Hence the hand on his mouth 😂
No I don't think so, some people just have that habbit of putting their hands in front their mouth when they watch something, like a movie or paint. I do it all the time.
Yes, but...maybe not here...
To hide his smirk or laughter, possibly.
"Ain't a Cabby" This shows how fickle and spoiled Nucky is. Eddie Cantor had a contract to perform with another show. A man's word is his word and now he has to ruin his reputation because your skeezer is depressed about her current musical.
Mr.Purnsley is a intimidating figure
"oh you aint, aint cha?" lol.
"You're Chalky, right?"
"The name is Milky. Milky Way."
opens the door
-Insult the man
-play the victim
Dun Pernsley is a great character
Purnsley was such a great henchman! I hated that he didn't stay loyal to Chalky.
If they ever done a remake of Candyman Purnsely would be great for that role.
Indeed. Truly scary dude.
Chalky's face - it has me laughing so much
This scene makes more sense when you realize IRL Eddie Cantor did a few blackface/minstrel acts in his career...
"You're... Milky, isn't it?"
"Chalky"
because the situation wasnt tense enough, Eddie had to go and do that
You can tell the real actor playing chaulky was trying to hold in his laughter
yeah he's trying to cover it up with his hand but you can see it in his eyes
Have to say, I wouldn't mind not being let into the show to see his cornball routines...
LMAO They got off to a rough start but gotta love permsley as chalky's right hand man. Scene was funny as hell and gangsta at the same time.
I feel so bad for this guy in this scene. This show is amazing.
I love how Chalky corrects him for saying "Milky"
He wasnt angry, he looked amused
Its a good thing he didn't do his black face routine lol (look it up, Eddie Cantor did such a song unfortunately, though hopefully he didn't mean it in malice)
Oh you ain't, aintcha?
You know how nerve racking it would have to perform in front of them alone😂
You'll never know the meaning of dead eyes until you face these guys in your bathrobe and your flip flops
That was the most evil sounding "No Sir" I've ever heard
I need to see the bloopers for this lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Purnsley alone is more intimidating than Patsy Parisi and Richie Aprile together
I never saw patsi Parisians an intimidating guy
@@optimusprimerib602 patsy looked like a psychopath when he threatened gloria.
I can tell their reactions were on a "Bruh Moment" when he performed
Out of breath... "Tell the son of bitch, Ill do it!"
“When you come to town we never do get a chance to see you strut”” lolol😂
"Wait, you shot him, why!?"
"Have you ever heard the mother fucker sing?"
"No?"
"You're welcome."
The best gangster show of all times...
Purnsley and Chalky were a great duo when they were on the same page!
Omar's great grandfather
Lol
😭😭😭😭
Boardwalk Empire is such a great series!
Its not allot of action, but its scenes like this that makes this one of the best series today!
In my opinion...this and The Sopranos are one of the BEST series around!
The two most evil cool men in the show
how would this guy ever think that was funny?
Eddie Cantor was one of the most popular performers in his day so he was obviously doing something right for the most part!
Intimatating without words...brilliant!!
The dialog in this show was excellent.
Chalky: "One thousand more."
"Intimidation"? He thought they were the help at first
Not so much, sir.
2:38 and 2:44 he's trying so hard not to laugh he's covering his mouth to stop him from cracking.
It's like the audience at Def Jam
Solid acting at the end…the short breathes he takes in between the singing is because the airway is constricting due to the panic / adrenaline setting in…
…but he’s also hilariously a performer; so he’s also making sure what he sings is still clear (and it actually is!).
The defeated flop at the end when he can’t continue was solid gold.
Behind the scenes, those pauses might actually have been the actor trying not to laugh…if so, that’s a nice way to twist the appearance.
Tough crowd.
"you're.....Milky?" lol
The point he does at "Make it something funny" is so, so, SO brilliant
your Milky?
“Oh you ain’t aint ya” his last words right before he shit in his pants lmao
I know it was so hard to keep a straight face during this scene. Lol
Imagine Chalky and Dunn became judges instead of Simon and Randy in American Idol..
Remus liked that joke.
Gootothesecond Remus shuns gambling.
This guy looks and sounds just like Eddie cantour
swear to fuckin god Purnsley reminds me of a Snake like the one from Rango. he just has that fuckin snarl man and those 👀
Boy! talk about preforming under pressure 😂
You can see Chalky and Purnsley are impressed.
1:18
R.I.P. Michael K Williams
One of my favorite scenes. Making a white male who's social status as a white male was so assumed w/o a thought got corrected about where he stood in comparison to black gangsters.... The irony of the scene is he unassumingly thought they were cab drivers, but ended up having to shuck and jive for 2 black men... lol

Hesh

Solid point about role reversal
Ummm if that was the intention of this scene...

Classic shit! I enjoyed it thoroughly💯
Godfather level performances.
Great series, Thank you
