That's why I'm here. That line has been banging around my head for days (since the last time I saw this movie... again). Yeah, that and "How HIGH a ridge I could not TELL."

hahahaha!! I think my favorite part of this scene is at 1:55 where Catherine O'Hara and Fred Willard go "Hubbub hub hub hubb" to make it look like they're "talking"!! HAHAHA!! Priceless. Thanks for posting this! :)

For me, the tiny, superbly-talented orchestra - all decked out in black tie and led by the deadly-serious conductor, performing like he's at the Academy Awards - is a terrific absurd element that helps make the overall scene so funny. It's not what you'd expect from a small town stage production, and that's precisely the point. Such a great comedy.

If the orchestra had been scripted as lousy, it would have distracted us from the stage performance. Sort of an overload of “badness”.

Better than my community theatre where people are too soft!

EVERYBODY DANCE!!!!!!! haha man I love Christopher Guest, can't get enough of this movie!!

I was actually in a show very similar to this when I was 17 years old back in the summer of 1976. It was my hometown's 100th year celebration. I absolutely love this film because it is EXACTLY like the show I was in...LOL!

For such limited screen time Michael Hitchcock is brilliant in this. He do love him some Corky.

"What did your keen and perceptive eyes behold?" HAHAHAHAHA Flippin Eugene Levy is awesome.

I always thought Catherine O'Hara's overacting here was hilarious, but it became even funnier when I remembered the earlier scene where she explains her acting techniques.

"If you forget your lines, just say a line, any line. It doesn't have to be from the play."

I LOVE this movie. Christopher Guest and the other creators obviously did some community theater (as I have) because they got so many things spot on: the unnatural way the actors move around the stage, like when Corky pursues the girl in this scene, the actors yelling all of their dialog, the cheap props, garish makeup, and the hilariously inappropriate casting, such as a middle-aged, obviously gay man as love interest to a young woman. Oh and the total self-seriousness and pomposity of the directors and some of the actors. Yet even while making fun of its subject matter, the movie never becomes mean spirited, and it manages to also capture the love and cameraderie among the cast and crew. Classic.

Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara are from Second City Toronto. They did improv there, then had to learn to write scripted material for Second City Television.

This is a good rainy morning movie. I watched it yesterday right after I got my coffee at 6:20 AM. It was still dark, chilly and raining outside and I wrapped myself in the comforter to enjoy Waiting for Guffman. I paused the movie once, midway, to get another cup of coffee.

Apparently, Fred Willard didn't pick up on this joke until he'd delivered this line and looked at Eugene Levy's eyes. Once he got it, he lost it for about 10 minutes.

The reactions from the audience are priceless.

When Corky and Libby enter the stage at the beginning of the show, then promptly exit it kills me every time.

I can relate. You know, maybe we looked a little silly but also the audience loved it too and that's what counts I think.

lol, "everybody dance" and the guy doing the guns with his fingers.

"grab your lady by the arm, take her out behind the barn!"

I always put Guffman and Spinal Tap at the top of the list for mockumentaries. I think Spinal Tap is funnier in the broader sense, but having been involved in some of the pompousness and self-deluding importance of local amateur theatre, Guffman (personally) makes me laugh harder. "California will be a sight for these weary eyes"; just the way she delivers the line and cheats to the audience, it frickin' cracks me up every time!

It's amazing how much effort it took to do this 👏

Did anybody else notice Catherine O'Hara just said "hub hub hub" while everyone else said "salt water" Hahahah

Guest Is The Man. But "Waiting" Is By Far The Best !!

the band is amazing.

One thing that's funny is that, throughout RED, WHITE, AND BLAINE, as hokey and corny as the score is, the musicians play it quite proficiently, certainly more so than you'd hear in most bad community theater productions. WFG is one of my all-time favorite movies!

I have to think that's one of the in-jokes of the film; that while the stage production is hokey and the actors hopelessly amateur, the tiny (and unheralded) orchestra is gloriously spot-on and professional.

Cinematic gold

I love when Corky is trying to catch Libby for a kiss. LOL! The instrumental part of the song reminds me of Little Mermaid! :)

How the hell does the pioneer look work so well for Parker Posey?

@rustown1 Heh, yes he is. He has a bad lazy eye without his glasses. Corky told him he couldn't wear them during this scene because they didn't have glasses during that time period even though they did have glasses back then. LOL

Blaine Favin's entrance KILLS ME EVERY TIME.

EVERYBODY DANCE!

That guy at 1:59 to me was the best.

What do your keen eyes see? Oh man its funny how he had a lazy eye.

This Bulging River!!! Best scene in the movie...why was it deleted?? Regardless, this movie is a classic.

hahah, that was probably the funniest part in the movie

Downright classic film haha

for me it's catherine o'hara and "california will be a sight for these weary eyes"...

yeah MORE CHRIS GUEST MOVIES NEEDED!!!!!!!!! I love this!!!!!!! why doesn't he make more movies!!

The movie is worth buying.

It would be cool if someone would share the whole movie on youtube. I really want to see it, but can't find it online without buying a membership to some site or downloading something to be able to watch it. I love Christopher Guest and all the regulars he uses, geniuses, especially Parker Posey.

I just noticed that when Catherin says[ California will be a sight for these wary eyes ] its almost has the same delivery that Ed Norton gave in the chef of the future Honey Mooners episode were he is on the set with Ralph doing the can opener commercial and he says - [ I wish i had a can opener that would do the work of all of these ] LMAO

the guy's face at 27 sec. cracks me up and i don't know why?

hub bub, hub bub!

...everybody dance...

Well said, Perhaps, I'll give FYC one more shot...and O'Hara, as i recall, was terrific...but it was (especially by their standards) almost devoid of inspiration and insight. FYC and Best in Show were the only ones I saw in the theatre. I laughed my butt off @ BIS, but it didn't improve on repeated viewings as Guffman and Wind did (for me, of course). It's still a terrific ensemble comedy, though.

Everybody dance! 2:26

Salt watahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Where can I buy the soundtrack

1:56 "hub bub hub bub" ROFL!

lmao i know! hub ub hub ub hub ub. God I love this movie!

Being from rural Missouri, I am completely offended! How dare Waiting for Guffman portray us in a way that is totally and completely 100% accurate!😆😎 (By the way, I am just joking about being offended.)

I agree. I put this ahead of Spinal Tap, followed by A Mighty Wind and Best in Show. All are awesome; unfortunately, there is then a precipitous drop to "For Your Consideration." I only saw it once...and just not very inspired.

Eugene look's like the winter warlock from santa clause is coming to town ...LMFAO..when they filmed this im thinking how the f--k did the extras in the audience keep a straight face

I'd like to take Parker Posey behind the barn...

Don’t ever do to off off Broadway, then. They have stuff that’s even more amateurish

Community theatre never has such a professional sounding orchestra. That is the fail point on this mockumentary. Plus it's less humourous and rather just mean spirited. A professional making fun of amateurs is beating a dead horse.
