After I posted about Film Noir last week, Miss Cellania posted this hilarious little video on her blog. The comedian and star is the brilliant Alasdair Beckett-King. He has absolutely captured the essence of every Film Noir movie ever made, LOL!
My favourite part is the deathless line: "You can't learn to have knees, Doris. You either got 'em or you ain't." So, SO true!

They even did the gauze over the camera lens for Doris's closeup!!!
Hahahaha
Get out of here before I fall in love with you! Perfect. The music, the B&W. Everything!
XOXO
Oh Kay. I remain clueless when it comes to Film Noir, Film Blanc, Film Rouge...
Totally brilliant!
I was told I had a nice moxie see...but I ain't sharing them with every private dick now see...I got my reputation to maintains I tell ya.
Made my day! Reminds me of Firesign Theater a bit...
"We were playing a friendly game of Toss the Pickle when..."
Lol. Hilarious! That last scene, I almost spite my coffee across the room.
Hi Debra, The closing shot was too funny!

That was wonderful. So funny and caught every line just perfect. Bogie would be proud.
Oh - Perfect! Every noir film I've ever seen in a short clip!
You have to watch to the very end, made me laugh
Hilarious!
Hilarious! Especially for those who have seen a lot of these films.
This couldn't be more perfect.
I can't remember what film; I think it was Victor Mature, but a line a I'll never forget: “That’s life. Whichever way you turn, fate sticks out a foot to trip you.”
Love this, so funny!
That was BRILLIANT...lol...so damn true. I love it! By the way I'm so happy to hear you were a big SCTV fan too. I think Dr. Tongue was my favourite character of all.
Definitely got the dame's razor thin eyebrows right, but take half a point off for the smokeless cigarette. Noir's like bbq, see, if it ain't got smoke, it ain't noir.
The end just made me chuckle - you got cylinders!
That was hilarious and absolutely spot on!
Ohh this is excellent. Thanks for sharing it.
I can't believe I used to watch those.
I was not expecting that ending! Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
That WAS HILARIOUS!! I'm so thankful I have knees.
Brewella's absolutely right about the cigarette smoke! There wasn't even any steam from manhole covers or sidewalk vents... there were also no beards in Film Noir, just 2 or 3 day stubble! That would have been a lot more funny on the dame. It gets a C+ from this grumpy reviewer today, LOL!
Delightful! This is one comedian I’m going to have to look up. I’ve been following the work of Ryan George on YouTube - he does all those “Pitch Meetings” in which he, too, plays both roles, a screenwriter and his boss, as the screenwriter describes his latest story idea for a familiar film or TV series. They never quite make sense and when the boss questions why this or that absurdity, he says, “I don’t know!” Or “Get off my back about that!” He gets it absolutely right, too!
What a set pins on that gal!
Har-har. :D
'Get outta here before I fall in love with you!'
That's great.
Love,
Janie
Doris just needs a different movie. Tell her to try Freaks (1932)
Too late :) I already love Doris, and all the other Dorisses and Kevins and Karens in this world :)
That is great ..so funny..Thanks for sharing..Have a good weekend..
I was waiting for the "look over her shoulder" as she walked away, but the shot of her "legs" was waaayy better! :)
Haha! Great fun, Debra. My copy of "The Ice Harvest" by Scott Phillips arrived this afternoon. I'm reading it as soon as I finish my current book. Then I'll look for the film. Have a great weekend!
Brilliant!!!!!
