I've thought that line in my head or said it out loud every time I've seen a chestnut since I first saw this movie. Holy snikies it came out on 1997. I need help.
Ok, now I want to see Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader in group therapy together 😂. Vader's hissing respirator and his booming voice as he says to Luke "Join me and we can rule the galaxy as father and son". Leia being like "Um, hello, did you forget my existence?!?" And the other group members staring at them in bewilderment while the therapist is like "Ooookkaaay....this might be beyond my scope" 🤣.
I'm sure it's mostly improvised. Myers said that over half of this movie was improved and I think here it's evident. You simply can't write things like this on a script 😂
Nice as somebody who repeatedly watches movies over and over again, and says everything along with them, I appreciate the determination and dedication to Dr Evil. 😊
"Summers in Rangoon" one of the hottest most humid places on the planet. "Luge lessons" where you lay flat on your back feet forward on a tiny little sled going down an ice covered track at 80+ mph. And of course every child's dream of making "meat helmets" NOT. As if to say to the entire room... You thought you had it bad growing up. And if describing his father and mother wasn't already enough. The shaved testicles knocked it out of the park. This dude had a messed up childhood. Kills me EVERY time too.
1:46 The look Meyers gives here is comedy genius in my opinion. Dr. Evil gives scott a slightly approving nod like that of a proud/loving father before quickly snapping into a faux posture of strength after realizing he is showing emotion/weakness. The insecurity of Dr. Evil is hilarious.
@@Hastalaverga420 What do you mean, this ''excellent'' comment was just describing the scene, and I assure you MOST people saw that face, it wasn't subtle at all
I also feel the look after was also meant to be threatening, as in he's proud but reminding Scott that he would still be attempting to kill him Sort of like the faux lunge 'tough guys' tend to do when they want to remind you that they might hit you to keep you on your toes
He also never said he hates Scott, attemps on his life could be his own way of showing love. The life of evil is dangerous and he doesn't want Scott to be a one time baddy that dies on his first attemp to take over the world.
@@paulleckner8235 What a pathetic comment. First of all, it's incomparable. This is a parody on Bond villain, not on real-life tyrants and dictators. Secondly, stalin did not have messed up childhood, he was just like that. Third , soviet terror is not just stalin's doings as it has existed before and long after him. modern day russian continues the worst stalinism practices both internally (oppression of their own population, no free spech/press etc.) and externally (influencing countries in the orbit of the influence and invading those that ''slip away'' like they did to Georgia, Chechnya, and now to Ukraine which I'm from. But sure, keep drawing inaccurate and inappropriate parallelisms.
The degree of creativity required to construct something so perfectly balanced between coherent and meaningless is unbelievable. Even if I could have sat down and even come up with the idea of making a monologue that was both realistic and insane at the same time, which, in itself, in this sense, I couldn't have, I wouldn't have even known where to begin piecing it together. Such amazing genius.
I feel a similar way about Day Man from It's Always Sunny. Like... any fool can write a stupid play. And making something genuinely funny is hard enough as it is. But it's much, much harder to knowingly construct something so bafflingly crazy that it just fearlessly blasts straight through its own weirdness and circles back around to being hilarious. This monologue is one of those things.
I used to think he meant he used some crazy evil weapon to turn them into liquid, then I learned that this would be "liquefy" and that "liquidate" probably just means he dismantled the group and took the money
i dont think mike meyers gets enough credit for what he has done. he's a brilliant comedian and story teller/writer and portrayed various characters perfectly. he knows how to make us laugh and have a good time
1:47 That little nod of approval then the stiffening of his back at the realization he became dangerously close to being "positive" towards someone is such a small but great touch
He mistakenly let his fatherly pride in his boy, evil though it may be, slip out for a split second before realizing the mistake and immediately returning to his austere demeanor. I bet that’s how it read in the script haha.
@Night shade I know. Dr. Evil as a father is pretty f***ing liberal; he doesn't mind anything his long lost son's plans to spend his life on as long as it is evil.
Dr. Evil is truly one of my all-time favourite characters. Mike Myers was brilliant as all four of the characters he played but Dr. Evil was easily the best.
Well, you must be TH-cam's worst ever Internet troll or you must genuinely be both a dumbass and blind, then, if "you've watched the movies hundreds of times" and not noticed that Scott is Seth Green, not Mike Myers! A little tip: go and do your research before making an ignorant comment. :)
And yet now Manscape's fortunes of money spent on marketing has gone a long way to normalize what was, as this movie shows, so unheard-of as to be laugh-out-loud weird like meat helmets
I think it’s because subconsciously you know the meaning of “penchant for buggery,” and that’s it’s frequently connoted as an act occurring between two men, especially in a non-consensual way such as “buggered in prison.”
"He's quite wily like his old man." This is such a supportive statement from Dr. Evil, he even smiles after saying it, but Scott only focuses on the negative. Come on Scott, throw him a frickin' bone here.
Princess Leia would make a good therapist, having herself a rather disfunctional family, her own father also being a diabolical supervillain with parent issues.
+Skeptical Chris Carri Fisher is a manic depressive and suffers from bipolar disorder and alcohol problems. im sure i wouldn't want her for my therapist.
literally he said the sort of feeling of pain hard to explain that only a highly intelligent human can have while they are expressing their crazy feelings.
This scene always stuck out to me even as a kid. Dr. Evil clearly had a very uniquely messed up childhood lol. I love the haunting, off-putting vibe that Myers evoked with this monologue, so very unexpected in a cheeky spoof movie.
I agree. It's one of those moments of semi-seriousness in an otherwise comic film that I would be able to catch as a kid. Myers was never better than here and he deserves most of the credit for knowing how to nail that delivery. It's the music though, perfectly evoking the suspense of John Barry's legendary scores from the James Bond movies, that also should be acknowledged. A similar scene happens in Ace Ventura, when Ace goes to Ray Finkle's house and enters his old room and we see just how much Finkle had deteriorated with his delusions. Even as I kid, I could tell there was something very disturbing about that scene.
The writing for his monologue is actually brilliant. Each line is just so funny. I feel like when this came out nobody actually paid attention to what he was saying in its entirety.
"We don't want to kill each other here. We might say we do sometimes, but we really don't." "Actually, the boy's quite astute, I really am trying to kill him. So far unsuccessfully ... he's quite wily like his old man ..."
I absolutely LOVE that moment at 01:47. And I never realized that was Carrie Fisher. Damn, I still love this movie and the first sequel, even all these years later.
I have memorized Dr. Evil's entire monologue about his upbringing, and it always cracks friends and family up when I recite it! This scene is comedy gold!
Spread the word! Preach on, Brotherman! The world needs to hear like never before! I blew a chance to buy a poster listing the monologue; it's too late for me. Think of the end of Fahrenheit 451 where people memorize an assigned book.
team snacks 😲😯😆😂🤣 Damn that's awesome it's nice to know that references like that are realized YEARS later. It makes the joke and reference that much better. Good one to your Uncle. Good one.
For me the best bit is when Dr Evil shows a hint of pride at being unable to kill his son, and that Scott is a chip off the old blick...then catches himself for showing weakness 😂😂😂
I remember when I saw this in a theatre I was sitting in the aisle seat and I was leaning over laughing so hard it looked like I was about to vomit. I was laughing sooner and longer than anyone in the theater, to the point that I was embarrassed. That's only happened to me twice ever in a theater, laughing to the point of embarrassment.
"So what do you want to do Scott?" "Well I was thinking of starting a channel that specialises in animations, that isn't popular but has a cult following." "Will it be an evil channel?" "No, maybe I'll become a voice actor for a popular animated comedy." "An evil voice actor?" "You always do that!"
I've watched this movie several times over the years. I was re-watching it today, and I had never realized until now that the therapist was Carrie Fisher. I think my brain was triggered because yesterday I watched When Harry Met Sally for the first time and Carrie Fisher plays Sallys best friend, Marie, and the therapist looked like an older version of her. I wasn't sure but I looked it up and sure enough. I'll be damned. That just makes this scene cooler.
Can still watch this over and over again 17 years later and laugh! Absolute master class by Mike Myers 'Sometimes he would accuse chesnuts of being lazy'
Leave it to Princess Leia to host a group dedicated to Daddy issues. She seemed to recover well after seeing her planet destroyed and getting subjected to torture.
I NEVER get tired of watching this movie series...a true classic. "My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons...in the spring we made meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bad and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really." LMAO...
I like to think that, like Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men, and Marlon Brandi in Apocalypse Now, he went off the rails and made up some details that were not in the script.
To be honest I did it because my friends called me and was like Dude were going to system link out x boxes and have a Halo 2 lan party you want in ?.And I was like F*** yeah !! but I got this thing I need to get out of first.

he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. i just imagine his father yelling at inanimate chestnuts like sitting in a bowl and calling them lazy.
...while wearing a Meet Helmet.
I remember when I saw this in a theatre I was sitting in the aisle seat and I was leaning over laughing so hard it looked like I was about to vomit. I was laughing sooner and longer than anyone in the theater, to the point that I was embarrassed. That's only happened to me twice ever in a theater, laughing to the point of embarrassment.
The egg he holds, the group's individual reactions, and the clarinet in this clip are just some of the genius little details of comedy in this scene.
And of course, it's just some charity father-son counselling group, held in a kindergarten room on a weekend.
Man, Carrie was everywhere! I'll miss her.
"So what do you want to do Scott?"
"Well I was thinking of starting a channel that specialises in animations, that isn't popular but has a cult following."
"Will it be an evil channel?"
"No, maybe I'll become a voice actor for a popular animated comedy."
"An evil voice actor?"
"You always do that!"
I guess it's better to be the son of a bumbling fool who talks before they think like Peter Griffin.
Well I dunno, maybe I'll raise a chicken--
An EVIL chicken?
No...maybe like a robot chicken
An EVIL robot chicken?
You always do that!!
Robot Chicken had a bit more than a cult following back in the day...
Rest in peace Carrie Fisher.
The famous actress who played as Princess Leia in the Star Wars series.
I've watched this movie several times over the years. I was re-watching it today, and I had never realized until now that the therapist was Carrie Fisher. I think my brain was triggered because yesterday I watched When Harry Met Sally for the first time and Carrie Fisher plays Sallys best friend, Marie, and the therapist looked like an older version of her. I wasn't sure but I looked it up and sure enough. I'll be damned. That just makes this scene cooler.
Brilliant observation.
arguably the one of the greatest and most iconic monologues in movie history
Can still watch this over and over again 17 years later and laugh! Absolute master class by Mike Myers 'Sometimes he would accuse chesnuts of being lazy'
00:38 that little stare he’s giving that guy... 😂
The funniest part of this is how realistic it is to actual group therapy
"...a penchant for buggery." One of the funniest pieces of dialogue.
I had to google what buggery was. I already had an idea.
Carrie Fisher did a great job here. She always retains her professionalism no matter how shocking Dr. Evil is.
Even as a kid this struck me as a weird, haunting, and even profound moment in the middle of a lighthearted comedy.
“There is nothing like the feeling of a shorn scrot, you must try it yourself.” Best line😂
Who's watching in memory of Carrie Fisher? RIP
Right here
Jack Walker 🙋
Me! I love her in this movie. In fact this is one of my top ten favorite movies.
Jack Walker Cheers, never knew that was her :O
Jack Walker I am
What an incredible monologue.
2:25 - Scott learning about his grandparents for the first time (and looking pretty disturbed) 😆
God, that monologue is amazing.
When Dr. Evil started describing his childhood at 2:00 ... dude, that shit fucking cracks me up every time. Love it.
Leave it to Princess Leia to host a group dedicated to Daddy issues. She seemed to recover well after seeing her planet destroyed and getting subjected to torture.
RIP Carrie Fisher
Shanethefilmmaker there’s a picture of her sunbathing during a brake I’ve got foot fetish’s and not only she had nice body but also beautiful feet
@@luislizard2626 Bruh.
Imagine Donald Pleasence giving this monologue as Blofeld.
Every few years I go back and watch these movies and they get better. I can't get over how fucking funny this is.
Dr. Evil didn’t spent 6 years in Evil Medical School to be called “Mister” he said so himself
The way he says "I suggest you try it" 😂
What's interesting now is that "manscaping" became a popular trend some twenty years later.
Perfect delivery of an absurd monologue
this fucking monologue is so brilliantly written and has me buckled over with laughter every time i see it
I am glad that the Doctor liquidated the group. Their insolence got on my nerves.
They didn't get lightly of with placement in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Now that's EVIL.
I may even use Dr Evils childhood description as a background story on a date 😂
how bad are your dates? lol
Typical, I'm sure.
Annnnnd I just saw this quoted on a girl's Tinder bio lol
With an Evil date?
If they still date you, you know they are keepers.
“The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament”... listener sheds tear in laughter
Truly my favorite scene! So incredibly well done. Still laughing all these years later!
I NEVER get tired of watching this movie series...a true classic. "My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons...in the spring we made meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bad and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really."
LMAO...
An evil petting zoo? Lmfao
Jordan Brown You always do that!!!
"At the age of twelve I received my 1st scribe!!". WTF and the whole monologue is priceless even all these years later!!
He would accuse chestnuts of being lazy
It's funny how the therapist is still happy at the end.
"He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark, sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy" 😂😂😂
Best written monologue of all time
I like to think that, like Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men, and Marlon Brandi in Apocalypse Now, he went off the rails and made up some details that were not in the script.
That four-note leitmotif is just MASTERFUL…
I swear to god I did that bit once to a blind date she got the fuck out of the so fast it was hilarious.
LMAO!!
+xoxoFISHERxoxo word for word?
Stephen Martel WORD FOR WORD !!! I swear
That's fucked up. I like Fucked up
To be honest I did it because my friends called me and was like Dude were going to system link out x boxes and have a Halo 2 lan party you want in ?.And I was like F*** yeah !! but I got this thing I need to get out of first.
