Did anyone notice how David Alan Grier was trying to hold back laughing when he was kneeling down and walking pass Martin LOL..this scene was too funny!!
The fact that he almost broke character is what makes this scene. haha
Lynsee Lynsee exactly😂 when he kneeled down to whisper "The Holy Ghost Dun told Me" he almost lost it, I wonder how many takes they did of this scenario😂😂😂.
I lose it at "the holy ghost whisper done told me everything gonna be alright" everytime. 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I’m weak from that part Martin and Gina was trying not to laugh
Whats funny is, he SANG that thing, too.
Kaizen Supreme Yes he did, which made it even more funnier and shocking!!!😂😂😂 one of many great episodes of that show!!!
For real tho. He killed when he did Cephus Merriweather and Calhoun Tubbs also. Dude got pipes...
Right!!! When he hit that last “be alright”, I was like “this nigga can sing too”, lol
Nobody talks about how David actually ate this whole vocal performance. Even though it was comedy, he was singing on key, on pitch, and hitting every cadence, plus all those churchy singer notes, all while dancing and being funny. Cosplaying a Preacher was this man’s true calling. Lol
Edit: came back to this comment after seeing David cosplay the Preacher and father to Sug Avery in the new Color Purple 2023 movie 😂 I can’t make this up!
The man can sing very well. I’m surprised he didn’t do it professionally.
The first time I ever saw him was on Showtime at the Apollo years ago. He was doing his standup routine and singing Mary Had a Little Lamb. Once again he was being funny, but sounding very good. I’m sure he knows he’s a talented singer among other things.
@@littlejoe9381 I think back in the day a lot of comedians or actors had to possess more than one talent because Tommy Davidson was featured on Martin and In Living Color too and he could really sing. They did a sketch and Tommy pretended to be Stevie Wonder and sounded just like him!
@@TheCommentFactory
check out his character “Don No Soul Simmons”
He sung his @$$ off!
Best things about this clip:
1. David Allen Grear
2. That organ tho
3. Cole getting lit off the song
I'm watching now and just noticed that too!!! David Allen Grier laughing when he next to Martin and Gina so now they covering they faces so they stop laughing and Cole singing and dancing too!!!They did so many takes they was just like 'fuck it'!!!
When he backpedals and gets down low and whispers it’s so funny. 😂
When he went back!
I've replayed this a thousand times already and it still cracks me up😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
whenever you are having a bad day, either watch this exact scene or the best of jerome. 😁
Reverend Leon Lonnie Lust is going straight to Hell, lol. A sitcom based off of His character alone would've been hilarious tho.
You on to something... Martin and Gina could've did pop ups in certain episodes
Trying to take me with him. When we sing it at church ,I look down the isle and laugh to my self.
David Allen Grier is the most underrated comedy act EVER! He never got mainstream roles for some odd reason. I believe he was the funniest act from "In living color". Shame how his career didn't take off. Smh!
Fox declared war on the In Living Color crew because they wanted control of the scripts and content. Fox never renewed their contract even though it was the highest rated in it time slot back then.
Yeah he didn't blow, but he's had a decent career & is still getting work. Forget who said it, but sometimes you gotta decide whether you wanna be an actor or a star. An actor will always find work somewhere, somehow while stars fade.
Don’t feel sorry. I can guarantee he wouldn’t change his career or how it went. He worked with many stars and he’s a star himself. Got nothing but respect for him.
Erv Gotti He was in Jumanji with Robin Williams & he was on Broadway . That was years ago
He never became a huge star, but he's worked consistently since In Living Color.
This entire scene is one of the best in the history of the show. When Martin and Ms. Geri get into it......TEARS of laughter!!
David Allan Grier straight killed this! Knock down drag out hilarious. When he breaks it down on that the holy ghost done told me...whisper part Its hysterical
He did the rumpshaker the cabbage patch and moonwalk.lol
For anyone born in and after 2000, which dances are which? Im tryna see somethin 😂
that's the power of the holy ghost ... surely you now believe everything is gonna be alright.
He almost broke out of character laughing lol
Howling!!! I could never understand how he kept his composure during this scene.
Yes he does😂😂😂😂 I was watching it and had to record this one when I saw him 'snigglin' lol!!! I'm watching it now and keep rewinding that part so I came to youtude for a lil Cyphus from In Living Color!!! That crouched down low holy ghost whisper and shuffle was too much, Cole singing it with him and Gina and Martin hiding they faces cause I know everybody was laughing!!! 😂😂😂😂
I literally sing this every Payday Friday 😂😂😂😂 I had to remind my parents where I got it from. #Classic_Martin
Back pedal cleaner than any corner in nfl history 😭
“Whisper” gets me every time 😂 they would have had to kick me off-set lol classic!!!
one of the best scenes in Television History
lmfaoooo. especially the part when they back up and the holy ghost whisper. David had to hold it together cause he was about to laugh.
"The Holy Ghost whisper done told me.."
Dog. My sister and I used crack up to this and mimic it in Sunday service whenever it popped in our heads, which was almost everytime
Just had to find this after watching D.A.G. in "The Color Purple" today. It was hard to unsee him as Leon Lonnie Love. 😂
The old lady got me hyped with organ intro LOL. Love this show
This show is the funniest sitcom ever, even over 20 years later it's making me die of laughter.
That's when you know, thiscwas a great show. When we all can reflect on it twenty years later wow!!! We are getting old.
From the cabbage patch right into the moonwalk. LOL!!!
Ok but this is actually a bop lol. David Alan Grier doesn't get enough credit. Comedic genius in my opinion.
Bruh got the best back peddle I have ever seen. He keep up and he's going to Canton Ohio
SOFT.....holy ghost....WHISPER....done told me...everything gonna be alright. I DIED!!!!!
How can you not smile and watch this?
I like how Cole was silent clapping to the Holy Ghost whisper.
I laugh even harder today than I did back then at 12 yrs old😂😂😂
That. Organ is humming. Dang that lady can play!!
The way he backed up though 🤣🤣🤣
That entrance was everything 😂😂😂😂
Hands down, one of my FAVORITE Martin moments!!!!
"Whisper !"
David Alan Grier was a comedic genius, he was truly the highlight of this entire episode. He was actually ate when he was singing down the aisle, he was singing on key, had the right pitch, right cadence all while dancing and everything. He deserves his flowers for all he brought to the comedy world.
The Organist was playing that song! David Alan Grier laughing while performing was gold
They all ducked their heads all of them were trying to hold back from laughing lmao
Martin was the show!
he screamed "whisper", LMAOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I didnt realize how hilarious this scene was until like a few months ago. I guess I havent saw this episode in a long time but I was cracking up when I saw this. Its even funnier that David almost laughed himself when he was singing. Too funny!
I'm over here crying laughin. I needed this! lololol
The holy ghost...WhISPAH....done told me everything gonna be alright!!! 0:24 tho
I died laughing when David Alan Grier was moon walking backwards so fast I fell out laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Varnell Hill, Leon Love, Hustle Man, Otis, and Dragonfly Jones had me damn near suffocating with laughter as a teen
David Alan Grier is so underrated as an actor and comedian it's almost crime. The man always has an impact in a scene that almost steals the show. This is one of my favorite scenes in "Martin". I really miss the 90's...things were so much better then.
I laugh every time David lets that lil chuckle out when he kneels down 😂
David Allen Grier is so darn funny!🤣😂 "living in color" folks are so damn talented!!!
51 seconds of pure genius. Plus I felt like I was in church 🤣
I can look at this over and over and over. I can't stop laughing
I been laughing at this for two days
i play bass in a holiness church and we do this shout run for an hour and a half every sunday. I laugh every sunday as this is in my head. I even play the same chord turn around on purpose to mimic this organ player. god this is so damn funny to me!!!
That entrance tho 🤣
Lmfaoooo 😂😂😂😂😂 he tried so hard not to laugh while singing
Watched this 1000x & It gets funnier than the last time!!
😂😂😂😂 ain’t nothin better than Martin when it comes to comedy.
The slight laugh is sending me🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can't stop laughing!!!!!!!! He said @33seconds WHISPUD
David is hellllll!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eye--haahhhaaah , I gottah feelinnn!
This really uplift my spirit. Dispite him being a fake preacher.
Did anyone notice Leon Lonny Love laughs/chuckles at 0:29 into the video
This just never gets old. Love David Allen Grier...... hilarious 😂😂😂😂
0:32 the holy ghost WHISPERED!😂😂
I wonder how many takes they needed to do on this scene cause It would be impossible for me to keep a straight face during it lol. so funny!
I am guessing they probably did so many takes & realized, "We are not going to get anyone to keep their cool, so THIS take is going to be the print."
It happened with Jennifer Aniston barely able to stay composed at David Schwimmer "playing" the bagpipes on Friends (the blooper they played after is even better!) & Jane Leeves just managing to utter "He was a detective, you know?" in that episode of Frasier with the "Hot & Foamy explosion".
Eventually, you just reach a point where you go with what you got.
I think this was a one take and DONE😂comedic timing is through the ROOF. Miss Jerry, Cole and Lawd when Martin looks at Gina as if to say...”ain’t that Leon?”😂
You can't hate on this it's the best💯💯💯💯
I almost pissed my drawers from laughing so hard at this nigga! This is too funny!
Funny ass hell every time I watch it!!! David is hilarious!! No joke I think I have replayed this back hundreds of times!! SERIOUSLY
who else didnt want this clip to end lmao laughed so hard im in tears , so on point !!!!
Yo, the way he rolled into the sanctuary.... Hahahaaaaa
David alan grier so underrated 😂😂😂 he killed this scene😂😂😂
When Dave started backpeddlin', I was D-O-N-E!!!!
XD
I can not tell you how many times I have played this!! It never gets old!!
TH-cam recommended found they way back in my heart.
When Rev Leon makes the DANCE MOVES from 0.40-0.46 I cry! LMAO!
All these years later and this still cracks me up
The holy ghost whispa.. done told me....lol
I REMEMBER THE COMMERCIAL PROMO FOR THIS BACK IN THE 1990'S & IT WAS JUST AS BIT HILARIOUS
It's unholy, how many times I've pushed 6 on this video and felt immense joy.
The whole 50 seconds was hilarious. From that lady sweeping across that keyboard to David Allen Grier finishing his song...
Ms. Jeri with that patio umbrella on her head remind me of all them hat wearing sistas in the church I grew up in. There were Sundays when I could only hear the service.
Buddy back pedal was clean af 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I keep replaying that part!!! 😂👌
