This is genius.... Love Fred Willard and Catherine O'Hara... Day next to Fred at a Happy Days Musical premier in Calabasas one night. See funny ... And he was a gentleman and made some small talk. I couldn't believe i was hearing his voice in person. He passed away late that year i believe. We now know where the mask wearing family came from in the movies the Strangers. This scene is very sardonic and that Ohara, 1000 yard stare into the wood pile and Tennessee fog is as depressing as it gets.

I would disagree with the notion that the scene is "not funny enough" for inclusion in the movie. It's plenty funny. I mean, my god, Catherine O'Hara's body language through the whole thing -- how she's not only in the depths of an alcoholic binge but clearly sick of everything Fred Willard has to say -- is hilarious and heartbreaking. I love how she uses her arms as a defense mechanism, like she's trying to physically shield herself from her husband's voice. Note that she doesn't say a single word but communicates so much with her actions and posture. I think this and some other deleted scenes hint at a much, much darker version of "Guffman" that could have been made. Fred's monologue about DiMaggio is funny but also poignant, and the scene ends on just the right note: "Sheila...?"

IMO, deleting this scene was a good call. I think it portrays Ron's and Sheila's relationship as a little TOO sad/unhealthy, relative to what we see in the rest of the film.

Fred Willard is using particles from his real life as an aspiring baseball player, which gives the scene gravitas, but it's best that the scene was left on the cutting room floor. Doesn't advance the story and not funny enough to stand on its own.

And yet Strong enough to stand on it's own. Arrested development on any level is always comical and a reality for many... Myself included. Its so unbelievable it can't be true but it is and it's a sardonic reality.
