My ex wife is from West Africa. She'd never heard of W.C. Fields. I wish I'd had a camera to take a photo of the look on her face when she watched his movies with me. She couldn't believe it.
Ever since watching this movie, as a lad in my knickers, I have appropriated the phrase "Great Snakes!" as my personal utterance. It has brought me great comfort in my many travails.
Run for the Grampian hills! the whole town of Lompoc is underwater! Waxahachie Texas .. shot a man's nose off one time! .. clean as you could cut it with a buzz saw .. playing cards with WC ..

love WC Fields great comedy you never see classic reruns again i watch them till this day TV today dont watch at all just classic comedy i grew up with
What some of us need right now. Returned from collapse lungs in 1972 and a young lady lived downed the street she found out and gave me 2 ft. statue of him. I talked it daily. Helps keep me sane.
Fields had a strong resurgence in popularity amongst young adults in the early 70s. His films were sought after, every head shop had posters of him for sale.
"What a wiicciup they have here!" A wicciup (sp?) is a circular hut made of bent poles by Native AMericans...can be used for a sweat lodge ceremony.....I helped build a couple
Iconic comedian, and legendary drunk. Classic comedic actor, is Fields. I love the way his daughter goes in, and is ready to take off her earrings to fight the mob.
Say listen, this is the greatest by this great one. It’s a Gift is great also. Thanks so much for this. If you don’t watch the whole picture you are cheating yourself
@@20thcenturyAV yes a lot of fields is mumbling dialog that he delivers in his pictures people assume oh, because of his skill as an actor and comedian, to be improvised whereas nearly all of it was very carefully scripted and rehearsed.
Tart apple? Kartoffel?? Tartufo? What Mr. Bel-Goodie called larceny whipsnake, I mean Larson E. Whipsnade, seems to confuse him a bit: "Tartuffle? What kind of a tartuffle, are there two different kinds, male and female? " Sadly, this term seems to be lacking from the dictionary, but a tartufo is an edible fungus like a white truffle. Watch as this w. C. Fields word confuses the Google speech to text engine: takaful, tartufo, Shuffle, car duffle, nothing but a common talk topple, particle, car couple... It seems to go on forever. Score one more for Larson e. Whipsnade!
@@Wolfinger1935 yes, I did a version of "Tartuffe" called, "Sly Fox" some years ago onstage so that occurred to me too. But I consider them two different words since "Tartuffe" is a personal pronoun and Fields' "Tartuffle" is obviously an adjective the way it's used in this scene.
They didn't have the part where the mother fainted due to the snake and the father said "Someone get her a whisky." To which Fields shoots back: "Yeah, get me one, too."

WC Fields created the most unique form of comedy, and has never been equaled since.
Spot on
The Funniest of all. Comedians. Timing was perfect 😂😂😂
You can't beat those mumbling asides and wit and irony. He is Unique.
Popeye did the mumbling asides as well.
Totally
“She’s allergic to snakes.”
“How unfortunaaaaaaaaaaaate.”
😂
He's always thinking out loud. Love it.
No that's not what hes doing
He’s got zero inhibition.
This was hands down my favorite W.C. Fields movie when I was a kid.
A friggin chariot! What an exit!
Entrance?

I like to reference my many excursions to Lake Titicaca.
Run for the Grampian hills!
the whole town of Lompoc

Waxahachie Texas ..

Tintin often said "Great snakes!" too.
love WC Fields great comedy you never see classic reruns again i watch them till this day TV today dont watch at all just classic comedy i grew up with
Love the hat twirl at the end. William Claude was one of the world's greatest jugglers.
"Young man, if there is such a thing as a tartuffle, you are just that thing!"
Look of horror and shock on Roger Bel-Goodie's face.
“She is, eh? How unfortunate!” Thanks a million for this! WC - the best.
Too right,!
The most awesome comedian evahhhh!
I love it. He was so funny.

Along with everything else, listen to how LOUD he's talking. I can't stop laughing.
I am repeating this clip over and over, the elite we dont see any now.
You were after my position
W.C. was a character and a half.
Dad what time is it?
I dunno son I've just got this watch chain here held in place with a safety pin.😅😂😂
You can't cheat an honest man. Never give a sucker an even break, or smarten up a chump.

Now I'm anxiously awaiting the next person to call me a tartuffle, because I've finally got a good comeback.
The Best ever!!!
The Master.
Genius! Wish he was my dad!
Let's head for the Grampian hills children.
Iv been to the Grampians many a time,
In Australia.
@@barrycowen627 I thought it was in the outskirts of Lake Titicaca.
Great 🐍 snakes you are correct.@@DoubleDoubleWithOnions
Thanks y’all
If there is such a thing as a 'tartuffle', you are just that thing.
The KING!
The KING.
The funniest man….EVER..

High society folks do not shake hands.
..."A lot of necks washed here tonight"... XD
Fields is the best there ever was.
I laughed so hard at WC Fields my stomach used to hurt.
Unhand me woman...
That was so out there, it had to be an ad-lib!
@@rufust.firefly2474 I think so!

Great snakes

I believe it refers to Tartufe... a character in a Moliere play. He was an imposter and a charlatan who insinuated himself into a wealthy family

They cut out the end out 🤧
Come to the Grampion Hills!
“Papa 😂
A Mans MAN 😉👍🏻

I think that this inspired La Cage Aux Folles
WC Field’s nose showed he imbibed in alcoholic beverages quite often. 😮
one can be humble and still fight for oneself WC Fields and Jesus the Christ - one's a crap shoot - One's your Salvation
Bing Crosby in the end
it needs subtitles
If only I was a 'tartuful'..
As a kid when he got called a Pecksniff I thought it was just a funny word as an adult I know it’s a villain from a dickens novel
Entirely reprehensible conduct.
She's allergic to snakes, lol she's so allergic you can't even say the word.hahahah!
...........Snakes!........
Aaaaaauuuuughhhh!!
W.C.Fields shudda been potus.
Yes indeed!
3 people are tartuffles.
What kind of Eightarc tuffle , tocqueville , kartoffel
WC Fields diner WC Fields in a diner WC Fields diner
Obviously you're dealing with the phantasmagoria of the English language, and epitome, Gildersleeve, great snakes!
Lol 1939.
This is how the establishment felt about Trump.
elite liberals 😂
W.C. Fields a multi-talented genius head and shoulders above contemporaries like chaplin

The KING!
