Maniacally-adorable! Absolutely-buffoonish! Very-impressive! When it comes to genuine,compelling,and high-spirited comedy stunts,Mr Danny Kaye is very brilliant,truly one-of-a-kind,and simply spectacular.In his 1956 Paramount Pictures' The Court Jester he had apparently done a lot of outstanding,memorable,and hilarious scenes.And one of them was his speedy,clownish,and exciting song number of Ms Sylvia Fine's Maladjusted Jester. Indeed it's a knockout and eye-catching gag scene.
If this is your first experience with this movie, watch the scene before the jousting tournament where Danny Kaye has to memorize which glass has the poison in it. "The pellet of poison is in the vessel with the pestle, the chalice with the palace has the brew that is true". This has been quoted by everyone even Gilmore Girls.
You're forgetting about the flagon with the dragon. They broke the vessel with the pestle. The pallet with the poison is in the flagon with the dragon, the chalice with the palace has the brew that is true. Get it?
Have to share: This song was the first time I ever was introduced to Danny Kaye when I was a kid. My older sister loved him and later I adored him. This song made me fall in love with him, watch the movie and laugh my pants off.
How talented was Danny Kaye? He had never used a sword before, but learned it from a professional for this role. In no time Kaye became so skilled that Basil Rathbone, veteran of many swashbuckling movies, couldn't do the fencing scenes with him! Kaye's tutor was in costume doubling for Ravenhurst (Rathbone's character), and it would just cut back to Rathbone for reaction shots. Watch the fencing scenes: you can clearly see it happening! I laugh at that every time I see this movie.
Sylvia Fine was a genius, but I don't know that any other actor/artist then or now could have performed the way Danny Kaye did. Truly, one of the most talented people of all time!
Tired of your usual D&D bard? Try a Jester, a bard with the jester specialization will gain; acrobat, singing, dancing, miming, musical instrument, juggling, stand-up comedy, trained clown, tightrope walking, and dramatist: parody, and advances these skills by exp level gain, not needing to expend points or etc. to raise these skills levels, but gaining other skills in the normal manner of a bard and able to raise both these skills, and those gained more normally, in the normal way, too.
I even came up with the Jester's ultimate weapon; the(GASP!) ATROCIOUS PUN! The higher the intelligence level of the hearer, the more hit points of damage they suffer!
@@mikegrossberg8624 brilliant! But, I would add that the hearer must be able to understand what's being said, as well (so must speak the language being used). I would also say that if a target is more than X experience levels above you, the ability has a progressively greater % chance of not working.
@@aburninglandfillofbadmovie2930 Can you explain why you think that would be? Regarding the language question, there's always "the Common Tongue", spoken by nearly everyone in D&D. Of course, the spell wouldn't work on NON-intelligent critters(after all, a pun is an exercise in THINKING, right?)
@@mikegrossberg8624 I simply was meaning to say that it has a lower chance of working on things that are numerous experience levels higher than the user and no chance of working if the target doesn't speak the user's language. So if you used it in common tongue on a level 8 thousand 5 hundred and 19 dragon lord of destruction who didn't speak common tongue it has a good chance of not working.
@@aburninglandfillofbadmovie2930 I would think that dragons, being, IIRC, intelligent creatures, WOULD be susceptible to the "Pun", at least to SOME extent
"A jester unemployed is nobody's fool."
Truer words were never sung.
words that define validation.
My bf asked me, "Is he a fool?"
Danny Kaye is underrated and underappreciated as an actor and entertainer. This movie, IMO, The Court Jester, is his crowning glory. Simply brilliant.
The song makes me SEVERLY wish jesters were still a thing, seems like the only job I'd actually enjoy
Dude modern day comedians kind of are jesters when you think about it
I’d consider Robin Williams’ act fit for a jester, “a funny idea, a jester.”
@@mrritz3843 guess I gotta become a comedian who dresses and acts like a jester 🤣🤣 sadly im not sure how many people would enjoy that
@@larkasmr1128 I would
It’s called a clown, they still exist and because most are self employed they can put on whatever act they want.
This guy had a rare combination of exuberant confidence and a huge talent.
This one kills me every time. Its the funniest moment in movie history with a great Danny Kaye. This man was awesome....
He is a legend

Totally agree.

My theater teachers favorite scene
What's the movie name?
You're forgetting about the flagon with the dragon.
They broke the vessel with the pestle.
The pallet with the poison is in the flagon with the dragon, the chalice with the palace has the brew that is true.
Get it?

Whoever wrote the lyrics is a genius too...
+Marc Corbeel his wife Sylvia Fine wrote the lyrics AND the music.
I had to replay that Spanish gibberish at 1:57 over and over again. It meant nothing, but sounded like actual words. Pretty cool.
Kaye was a master of gibberish in several languages
BEST MOVIE EVER!!!! If you can't laugh at this movie... sad for ye....
I'm a jester in a high quality production this Christmas. This is what I sing to warm up.

We will never see another like this brilliant, crazy, genius.
Im so glad my dad introduced me to this move! This is waaaay before my time but to this day Danny Kaye will always be my favorite actor!

He nailed this whole scene
My best friend showed my this movie we both love this movie and Danny Kaye we are both 23 years old and we both agree his is one of his best movies

Just love Danny Kaye. He makes me laugh.

In my opinion, the best song in the film, and also my favourite.
This is the first time I've ever heard this song and I already love it!
Surpasseed only by the hysterically funny fencing scene. Comic genius!

Danny was the only person that sang in this movie
The song, You will never OutFox the Fox is sung by him and 3 other performers. That song was also written by Sylvia Fine, Danny Kaye's wife.

Can’t believe they copied The Garden
Awesome!!! Merci youpi! i am a jester!
Entertain the king, said the clowns
How would I get a license to do a cover of this song?
I don't think you need a licence to do a cover as long as you state that it's a cover and don't receive any money for it.

Danny could tongue twist & sing fast, He was pretty funny. There were 2 Danny's who had a big nose Danny Kaye & Danny Thomas.
