We had a guy in HS who was just like Spicoli - speech, mannerisms, lifestyle. After graduating he became a NAVY SEAL, retired after 24 yrs and now owns a surf shop and jet ski store
That’s pretty dope!
What a chad
Nowadays I live in Arizona so the ocean is a state away. I used to go to the beach annually east as a kid/tee. I. Loved going to surf shops. He's a Navy SEAL and then he goes back to his roots that way?! Epic!!!
All right Hamilton!
Awesome totally awesome
"This guy has been stoned since the 3rd grade"
Lmao..😃😃😃🤙🤙🤙🤙🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️
NAILED IT
.
"Hey, I know that dude"
Pizza!
It's nice to know that the real Jeff Spicoli is doing well.
A lot of people we grew up who acted like Spicoli always turn out to do well later in life. Great last name by the way!
Sean didn't SAY he was doing well.
only that Spicoli's still breathing.
.
i.e. Spicoli's organs are still semi functioning.
-not Spicoli's bowels but everything else.
All he needs are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and he’s fine.
Dude. Spicoli embodied every “bro” in Southern California
Kick back, twist up a fat one, and wait for another set to come in. Totally gnarly!
@@dawoool brah
Still does brah
💯
savage 069 yes it does.
Spicoli is literally a piece of American Art. There were several Spicolis roaming around the country in the early 80’s. If you were the right age (and had the right kind of glasses) you’ve met one or two. “Relax, alright? My old man is a television repairman. He has this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it!”
When I was a system administrator for a government computer site, I also had to perform routine maintenance, so I was provided with a tool kit. Naturally, I referred to it as my "ultimate set of tools."
I recite that line often😂
Sean Penn looks like he eats Marlboros straight out of the box.
He said it was 8 balls and hookers... No really he actually said that.
God bless him for allowing nature to take its course...and not taking the route Mickey Rouke has taken...
And rinses his mouth out with a tin of Skoal and shots of JD and Slim-Fast.
look like he smokeing crack without the pipe
Hahaha
"Sean, wakeup, you need to go out on stage and be interviewed!"
Sean's only doing it cuz it's Conan.
Sean respects Conan.
.
Looks like he stuck his head in a blender for his last haircut.
I don’t hear unless you knock Curtis! (Knocks) Entre!
Orders a pizza while on history class. Legend.
learning about Cuba, havin some food
He knew this was US history bc he could see the globe 🤣
AND....with no smartphone. That's boss mode.
If youre here and im here, doesnt that make it our time
@@momalwayssaiddontplayballi3973 lol usually teachers do not like a fallacy to be pointed out. I had a professor in business college try making an analogy of them being our boss and us the employees...I said well we are technically paying you for a service so that would make us your boss. The class was very amused because he was kinda strict, he didn't seem to like having a flaw pointed out lol.
He always looks like he’s holding back a burp
That s funny man 😂😂
Looks like me after Thanksgiving with the inlaws.
Heh, yup, and he talks like that too! 😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣u just dnt wanna be around when it comes out...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
That character was all over the Southern California beach scene in the 70s and 80s and probably beyond. Every beach where there were surfers didn't just have their own version of Jeff Spicoli, they had multiples of him.
Exactly
It’s true
In the movie, all the girls were trying to be Pat Benatar.
In real life, all the boys were trying to be Jeff Spicoli.
Sean Penn looks like he became the dude he based spicoli on lol. Legend
Bodyswap!!!
I'm sure he held on to a little Spicoli all throughout his life.
Dude looks like he's just come off a 2 week bender
Actually, it's more like a 3 decade bender.
He looks like he woke up in a hedge and dragged himself backwards out of it.
nah. he just visited venezuela for the afternoon
@@dawoool 3 decades bender in vegas
that's actually The Look that Sean was going-for.
.
A long time ago Bill and Ted saw Jeff Spicoli from a distance and went............."Whoah"!!!!!!!
Spicoli is actually bills cousin,
For awhile 'that' was kind of the genre. Until Hollywood killed it, did it to death, stomped-out
any last vestiges-of-life.
.
like when the 30th rocky imitation came out - initially causing mass suicide.
People were drenched by the 29th. 30th was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Karate Kid 7
Sean should have come out in a cameo as Spicoli in the new Bill and Ted's adventures.
"Learnin' about Cuba. Havin' some food!"
My favorite line...
That’s gotta be the best Spicoli line.
🤣🤣🤣
Like that time some people did something
"and there's certainly nothing wrong with having a little food, learning about Cuba"
He inherited his father's TV repair business and awesome set of tools.
“Ultimate” set of tools 😏
You should get his friend on the show because the world needs to know the man behind the inspiration for Spicoli.
You know he's got stories...lol
The way I see it....if I'm here and you're here....doesn't that make it our time??
Jarrett Johnston
“Relax! My old man is a television repair man. He has this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.”
😂
My mother used to say something to the effect of this.
Sean Penn just seems unnecessarily intense. This is the most personable I've seen him in a long time.
he must have smoked a fatty before the show dude ...LOL
@Jay Sebring WTF? Sad to see how social media has turned so many American men into gossipy scolds.
Reality will do that to you.
@Jay Sebring that was 30yrs ago
@Jay Sebring ..that no man can be stuck into their ex from 30yrs ago. Penn has more women than we can imagine. The guys a smoking gun
Sean Penn is a very talented and serious actor, but he totally nailed the part of Jeff Spicoli and turned it into an Icon of the 80's
Sure did, but I also liked his follow up role as a bad boy...gotta like someone who can weaponize a couple soda cans and a pillow case.
@@scottwright388 Actually, I remember watching that movie and seeing him go to the vending machine and thought what the hell is he doing? You got two guys after your rear (literally)and you want a Coke , then when they walk in he womps the crap out of them .
@@Grodd70 I know, and he acted like it wasn't his first time doing it. Just look at his facial expressions if you watch that scene sometime....edit: I thought he was good in Taps also, which I think was his 1st movie.
Absolutely...! One of the most loved characters of the 80's
Sean just had a haircut by a blind watchmaker
love it! lmao
lol!!
Looks like he combs his Hair with his Pillow...
it's for a movie he and Mickey Rourke just wrapped.
.
Its Sean! Everything looks good lol
all i need is a cool buzz.. and some tasty waves
… and I'm fine.
waves first.
cool BUD!
Wow, so happy for Conan. That's the first time I've ever seen an interview with Sean Penn where he wasn't a jerk! That was actually pleasant.
He's probably just now getting over the embarrassment and humiliation of Madonna. Hahaha, can't stand Penn.
I dig that he owns his 'Dragged through a hedge backwards' look.
Damn...I had friends who were alot like many of the characters in that movie. Growing up in the 80's was the best times of my life! To all the friends I had, all the girls I had, and to all of you who made life fun in 1980 something no matter where you were, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
My mom looked so much like Phoebe Cates when she was younger it was weird. Also my best friend in high school was Forest Whittaker character accept it was Rugby, not football. He's doing very well for himself, is married and a daughter on the way
Isn't it OUR time Mr Hand?!
Yep
Yes, that's right, Mr. Spicoli. Yours, mine, and everyone elses in this room. But it is my class.
WolfWould Yes, it was our time. 70s and early 80s were a great time.
@@overtheedge9298 I love that movie. There's a pretty in depth group on Facebook for OTE. Claude taking acid in school lol
One of my co-worker's last name is "Hand" and he bumped into Sean Penn at a bar in LA. As a joke he dialed his father (Hand Senior) and had Sean Penn speak on the phone and do the "Our time" bit for laughs.
I always find it fascinating that Sean Penn got his big movie break playing a character that is his polar opposite in real life. There's nothing in Penn's personality that suggests a happy go lucky, devil may care attitude of s Jeff Spicoli.
he's and uptight militant liberal, sad.
I guess that is what you would call acting.
Yeh Jeff Spicoli is a "Nice Person"...
@@joejones9520 You're basing on this on all the times you and Sean hung out and had beers. I get it.
Great actor. Weird dude.
Grew up in San Diego and lived in my family’s home just behind the Clairemont High School football field. Attended CHS 1978-1981 during the years C Crowe was an undercover student there. Took a journalism class with Miss Ramsey in my first year, (she was in the know along with the principal about Crowe being an undercover student). Overall, I believe Cameron Crowe captured the true essence of what high school was like back in the late 70’s and early 80’s in his film and book - from the beach and surf culture that was very prevalent in our high school in that day; the mall scenes (University Town Center in La Jolla was our place to go for dates, movies, and ice skating); a lot of us worked retail or grocery (FedMart / Mervyns); some did fast-food jobs like Del Taco or Baskin Robbins; or if you were lucky, you got to work at G&S Surfboards or one of the local surf shops in Clairemont or PB.
Now, marijuana use was definitely happening throughout the school, but was not specifically the “surfers” who were mostly doing it, as the movie somewhat portrayed (see Spicoli). I never saw it happening on school grounds but I could smell it at times due to the open campus policy during lunch period.
I remember thinking when the movie came out, “Yeah, I knew a bunch of guys in my classes who all talked like Spicoli, or the All-American Burger in the movie has got to be the Del Taco that was up on the corner next to the school.”, but mostly, I thought the movie best depicted three years of what high school in Southern California was like back in the day, and it’ll be forever-down on cinematic film for me to view anytime I want. And for me, that’s, “pretty gnarly!”
Awesome story, man you make me wish i grew up in southern california in the 1970's. I feel like I missed out on so much! Instead I grew up on the other coast where everybody thought they were a mafia wannabe tough guy, or just guys with attitudes.
Things weren't a whole lot different in fly over country, except for the surfing (obviously!). The one thing in the film that I didn't understand was the lack of support or enthusiasm for the cheerleaders or sports team. Maybe it was the culture in SoCal but in my area, the sports teams and cheerleaders got a great deal of support. Pep rallies may or may not have been everyone's thing but they weren't snooze fests like depicted in the film.
I was in high school in the early 80’s and lived in San Diego Ca, I worked at Clairemont Square and my High School competed and played football against Clairemont… The Movie was a pretty accurate representation of Southern California, High School culture at that time.
@@scott1564You are correct about the Sports Teams and Cheerleaders it was that same way at least at my own High School in San Diego Ca in the early 80’s.
That's so cool!
"Hey Bud... What's your problem?"
Hahaha!
Relax....My old man is a television repair man....😂 😂 😂
He has this Awesome set of tools.
I can fix it.
You can't fix this car Spicoli!
Ultimate set of tools 😁
Lincoln Kills 🏈
I've been a technician for most of my life. You have no idea, how many times I have said this line, right before taking over a big maintenance or repair job, when everything has been disassembled and parts and tools are lying all over the place: "Relax, alright? My old man is a television repairman. He's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it". It's always good for a few laughs.
I think there were a lot of spicolis back in the 70's and 80's especially on the west coast.
Pretty sure there still is
But on the East Coast as well, more Northeast than the South. And lots of guys would transform into Spicoli when it came time to get high, cradle the bong or pipe like it was something precious, get super jolly like Spicoli while high, etc..
I grew in the 70s and 80s in roughly the same area (Santa Monica, West LA, and Venice) and while the Spicoli is an exaggeration, he Penn did capture the subculture of stoner/surfer/skateboarder types that I knew. They were a pretty laid back independent group, but they not pushovers.
"You hear about this surfer guy who pulled a knife on Mr. Hand this morning?"
I can’t find my comb, oh never mind I just rub this balloon on my head.
Funny
During the 80's as a surfer myself there was a lot of spicolis in the lineup , if wasnt for them the surf culture would never be the same !Long Live Spicoli ¡
"First door on the left."
"You mean like up this ramp?"
"FIRST DOOR ON THE LEFT!"
right, that is great, I always wait for it. Such a realistic thing for someone kind of out of it to do; complicate basic instructions.
😂😂😂
"Rhythmically Aligned With That Character"......Penn can be VERY hilarious when he wants to be!
I’ve heard for a long time he’s been reluctant to talk about his role as Jeff Spicoli. Kind of an off limits topic. I have no idea why. That character is legendary. Especially comparing how he is in real life to Jeff that was a hell of an acting job. I guess now that he’s established himself as a serious artist he’s loosening up a bit? Well as loose as Sean Penn can be.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I'm 56, I still have to watch a bit of it when it comes on TV these days. And I do own a copy of it. Always brings me back to my youth. And believe it or not in the opening sequence outside the school an EX classmate of mine from New York a real stoner name Mike I won't give his last name was an extra. So I always love seeing him. And when I say stoner I'm not saying that in a negative way. Since I was definitely no better. Fantastic book and movie by Cameron Crowe
I so loved this movie & Sean Penn’s character in this movie was hysterical!!! He was so deserving of a Oscar for his outstanding depiction of this character in this movie! He was a riot!
Great role and movie but slow down on the Oscar talk lol (edit-just googled who won that year..Henry Fonda for On Golden Pond…yeah, Spicoli had no chance…obviously as a kid at that time I would have rooted for Penn to win cuz On Golden Pond was an old person’s movie)
When Sean talks about how he recently saw the guy, it almost looked like he was gonna cry for a sec. I guess that’s just the way he talks
yh right, probably weed dysarthria or something. He may just talk like this.
“There’s no birthday party for me in here...”
The best parts of this great movie were anything with Jeff Spicoli in it and that amazing Phoebe Cates pool scene. They both had great influence on me but in very different ways!! 😉
I cannot listen to "Moving in Stereo" without thinking of Phoebe Cates undoing that bikini top. "Hi Brad"
Doesn't anybody f**king knock anymore?
Thank you for asking this question!! I’ve. Never heard Sean talk about that amazing character. So awesome.
"That was my skull; I'm so wasted!"
And yet Sean Penn looks like a burned out surfer dude..lol

This interview was AWESOME! TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!
Fun fact Penn was Jeff Spicoli on set and off for the entire filming time frame- he NEVER left character
Supposedly he does that with every role.
Marlon Brando said, Sean Penn is the Best Actor he ever worked with and Seen.
2 Bad Asses.
couldn’t tell if he was getting emotional running into that guy again or just him being all trembly and nervous
Or needs his fix
that's coke trembling if there's one
Acting...
He's a heavy smoker. Problem needs a cig or two.
needs a drink , thats alcoholic tremors
Looks like people living on the streets of Eugene Oregon.
Haha! I live there. 🤣
Love Conan 💜 Love Sean too! I also liked when he appeared on Two and a half men 👍😁
I always wondered what would have come of 'Jeff Spicoli' much later in life. I'm glad Sean Penn cleared that up to some degree.
Bad Boys (1983) is Penn's breakout drama. Great film.
@Telios Abraxas - OK, but let's look at the word breakout and how young Penn was compared to the police crime drama, Colors. He was 22/23 when he had the Lead roll in Bad Boys. And 21 when he was co-starring in Taps, 2 years earlier. By the time he did Colors, he was certainly more seasoned, no whipper-snapper for sure.
@Telios Abraxas - Cool, no problem. And smoke 'em if ya got' em.
@Telios Abraxas - Only on Tuesday, and only during full moons. However...I cannot well repeat how there I entered.
i love Bad Boys 83
Pürgatöry Priest totally! I love that movie!
I saw this film when it came out. I was about 18 and his Spicoli character was going to be the greatest part of the movie until my teenage boy brain saw Phoebe Cates pop her top.
Dude same
@Avalon Hike thanks for telling us any adolescent boy probably had the same thoughts they just don't tell the world
When that movie was being rented on VHS the tapes were being returned damaged from being paused on that scene too often and for too long.
@Avalon Hike little did you know she's downstairs watching a movie with Brad Pitt with her hands under the blanket
I play a guitar and I've told a few people that I can control their thoughts with it. I then play the intro to Moving in Stereo. Everyone so far as chuckled because they immediately think of her rack.
So Spicoli eventually cleaned up his act, but Sean didn't.
@Bob Hartlee All your money won't another minute buy. But cleaning up your act can buy you years.
He used to be so handsome too. Such a shame.
Yep. Penn even screwed up his relationship with Charlize Theron. Ahh he's a huuuuuge success...in CUBA
Notice how he looks sunburned?....yeah that's def from booze
@@hkd8328 He's like 60 tho
Conan can really being the best out of people. Great interview
Love Jeff Spicoli. Best character ever. Sean Penn crushed playing him. Perfect.
Everyone is commenting on old SP looks ....he's freaking 60!
I enjoyed this segment more than perhaps I should. What a great tale, told in such an inimitable fashion. Cheers.
When I watched Fast Times in a theater when it first came out I sat there for the whole movie thinking two things: "Please let me see Phoebe Cates naked".....and....."How did they get that stoned guy to remember his lines?" I literally did not know that it was an actor. I thought it was a real human being on the screen. Just an amazing talent.
The good ones make it look easy, they don't get enough credit. Its an art
I only thought one thibg: "Please let me see Phoebe Cates naked". You were more sophisticated than me.
" That was my skull " best use of a pair of Vans in film history !! When he smacked himself in the head with them .
Watching Sean Penn interviews I feel like something is always about go off unhinged
Sean Penn looks like he's about to have a stroke at any moment.
Even worse, he is in the terminal stage of his hate-filled disease, known as liberalism.
@@4thandinches conservatism is one of those extremist hateful diseases as well. Got to watch out with both liberalism and conservatism.

It's like he used up his entire life's store of joviality on that character and there was none left after that.
Ha, true!
Fascinating story. Just goes to show that anyone can "outgrow" who they are when they're young.
Now this is the Sean Penn that I really enjoyed hearing. Great actors are much more interesting to listen to when they talk about their craft and not about politics. He is a tremendous actor and I wished his public conversations were more like this one.
AMEN
It only bothers us when we don't agree with them. Artists have always given social commentary
I see you'
re point and I appreciate your feedback. But for me personally, I want to hear about their views on acting, not social commentary. Oftentimes, actors have a lot of influence over people and when they are uninformed or misinformed on certain topics, their views can come across as self-righteous, arrogant, and ignorant. For me, it does not matter whether there views lean toward the right or to the left. @@grovermarchand3282

Thanks, I appreciate that. Take care and have a good one.@@grovermarchand3282
Sean Penn is honestly one of the actors I sometimes look up to. There's a heap of things he has done since that not a lot of people nor Hollywood would bother share nor do.
Like the love fest with El Chapo and supporting the crime lord who raped Venezuela?
@@candymiller3304 Like him becoming an unofficial mayor on haiti cos of a massive earthquake and didnt bother telling the press about this for clout
“All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz and I’m fine”
Sean’s greatest role ever. Or the guy in “At Close Range”. It doesn’t even seem like the same person. Of course we’re going back to 1981-82, but if you didn’t see the credits, you’d never think that was Sean Penn. I guess he doesn’t like it now that he’s a “serious actor”, but one of the best comedy characters ever. Great film. I’ve seen it 40 times, I could watch it again. It perfectly captured being in high school in the 80’s. I hated my high school & wished I was at Ridgemont lol
I kinda always assumed that Jeff Spicoli later in life became The Dude from The Big Lebowski. 😎
Jeff Spicoli changed his name to Jeff Lebowski, traded in his surfboard for a bowling ball, his blunts for White Russians and Stella Artoses, and just chose to go even more casual by wearing pajamas everywhere.
You should make that into one of those "Conspiracy Kenu" Memes "What if the dude is the older version of Jeff Spicoli ?!"
@@justindenney-hall5875 LOL! He changed his identity to help himself avoid the wrath of Mr. Hand!
Jeff Spicoli became Jeff Lebowski... Whoa, never made that link before Dude. Seriously

Rob Younghans lol yea that would be pretty predictable wouldn’t it
Hey, man, El Duderino will still bust out one of his hairclips to toast a roach. The Dude still partakes, man.

That was awesome.
As much as I don't care for Sean Penn, no one else could have nailed Spicoli like he did!
One summer day leaving work heading down Wilshire Blvd, I pulled up to a light, looked to my left and there's Sean in the passenger seat of a convertible 325 taking a big drag of a fatty! I was in my white Jeep Wrangler and he looks over with a big grin, holding it in and leaned out to hand it over! Very cool day! Ironically, I had an ounce of cronic in my center console 😜.
Thanks Sean! Appreciate the fatty! Made my day👍✌

We love ya Sean Penn - Cant wait to see more of you, we miss the great movies
Should have asked him about being tracked to catch El Chapo Guzman.
In Southern California, I think everyone high school had a Jeff Spicolli. Mine certainly did. San Dieguito high school Encinitas early 80s.
its amazing to hear the comfortable perspective of a normal person who got a huge break in life sounding as if they singularly peeled the onion of life....be humble when on top of the world and proud, head held up, when at bottom. this is the way :)

Icon ❤ lets goooo great interview
I was in high school in the 70s, in SoCal, and there was a guy there that had a bit of that speech, and was a surfer. Every time I watch the movie I can't help but think of him... wonder how he turned out.
I think everyone had a Spicoli in their life. I know I did😂
tinaloveseddie if you didn’t than you were the Spicoli in everyone else’s life
Mice Elf my dude was in my 10 grade biology class😂
