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!!!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha
ReplyDeleteGet 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...
ReplyDeleteTotally brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteMade my day! Reminds me of Firesign Theater a bit...
ReplyDelete"We were playing a friendly game of Toss the Pickle when..."
Lol. Hilarious! That last scene, I almost spite my coffee across the room.
ReplyDeleteHi Debra, The closing shot was too funny!
ReplyDelete--Jim
That was wonderful. So funny and caught every line just perfect. Bogie would be proud.
ReplyDeleteOh - Perfect! Every noir film I've ever seen in a short clip!
ReplyDeleteYou have to watch to the very end, made me laugh
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Especially for those who have seen a lot of these films.
ReplyDeleteThis couldn't be more perfect.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely 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.
ReplyDeleteThe end just made me chuckle - you got cylinders!
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious and absolutely spot on!
ReplyDeleteOhh this is excellent. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I used to watch those.
ReplyDeleteI was not expecting that ending! Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThat WAS HILARIOUS!! I'm so thankful I have knees.
ReplyDeleteBrewella'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!
ReplyDeleteDelightful! 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a set pins on that gal!
ReplyDeleteHar-har. :D
'Get outta here before I fall in love with you!'
That's great.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Doris just needs a different movie. Tell her to try Freaks (1932)
ReplyDeleteToo late :) I already love Doris, and all the other Dorisses and Kevins and Karens in this world :)
ReplyDeleteThat is great ..so funny..Thanks for sharing..Have a good weekend..
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for the "look over her shoulder" as she walked away, but the shot of her "legs" was waaayy better! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! 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!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!!!!!
ReplyDeleteloooooooooooooooove
