_nobody_ can play "Drunk" like Catherine O'Hara. that woman is a queen, and should be honored as such by the combined national governments of Earth.

Agreed ! She’s an unparalleled comedic genius. I LOVED her on SCTV and in Christopher Guest films - especially this one - and in all of her other ongoing work. I’ve never, ever seen an actor nail the behavior / thought and speech patterns of a drunk like she does here. And it’s all improvised. Yes, she absolutely deserves a permanent crown for her service to all of us !

Me too, from the time I discovered him on “Fernwood 2-Nite” when I snuck out of bed on school nights as a young kid to watch it. He stole the show effortlessly. He was never “hit or miss” - always nailed it, and exceeded all expectations of hilarity among even the pickiest of viewers. His improvisation in Guest films (the scene above is a classic example) showcased this amazing gift perfectly. Cannot believe he’s gone.

RIP roasting in phosphorus, which is brimstone;;; You cannot out psychologize the Bible for God not to throw you into hell for all eternity. In other words, you cannot come up with a good enough excuse here and now, so you will not be able to on judgment day. If you say you did not want to be born, God is going to say you should’ve been born again, that means become a Christian so that’s not gonna work. And there are no other excuses try to think of one. So now you know for the first time in your life, that the Bible is smarter than you and it is a steel trap, smarter than all of mankind, What should you do then? So at least investigate and look to see that these things are true, because right now you just learned the Bible is smarter than you, and you will be accountable for your life on judgment day before God! Prophecy, the Bible is 27% prophecy, that’s future history written in advance. God‘s really sticking his neck out to get it cut off if he’s wrong, but he hasn’t been wrong about the thousands of prophecies that were fulfilled, so he’ll be right about the end of the world prophecies as well and you’ll have no excuse on judgment day for not looking for truth! Caveat: you cannot look for God in times of chaos says Isaiah 45:19, so you better do it now. In other words,You’ll be too worried about your own survival when chaos hits, than your eternal destiny! Statistic probability of 40 writers writing the Bible with zero margin of deviation, proves God wrote the Bible through the 40 writers! God authored the Bible! DNA does not auto encrypt, the code writer is outside of the code of the 3300000,000,000 lines of computer code in the human genome of our DNA! So who wrote the code to such sophistication? 1,000,000 seconds is 12 days, 1,000,000,000 seconds is 32 years! That’s the difference between 1 million and 1 billion! One person’s DNA could fill the Grand Canyon up to 50 times full of books. John 21:25 “I suppose everything Jesus did, the world wouldn’t have enough room for the books telling of it.“ this verse would be fulfilled! Psalm 139:16 “in my members you have written many books“! Psalm 139 is about the human body!

"Medicine Man not go near Dances With Stumpy" is one of the most brilliant lines I've ever heard. If Eugene really did ad lib that in the moment, he's an absolute genius. (Well, he's a genius anyway...)

Travel agents who never left Blaine. Brilliant. "Dances with Stumpy" simply amazing.

God, these four are talented. So hilarious!

It was released on August 23, 1996.

"They went to Peking- where they make the ducks", and "...they say, the food is not as good over there- you can't get a sauce as thick and sweet like here". brilliant

'....have you tried the dumplings?...' LOL

Eugene Levy: "Have you tried the egg rolls? ... Unbelievable" Cracks me up!

I saw Catherine O'Hara a few years ago, in a CB2 store on Sunset. I regret not getting a pic, but we both looked rough (no makeup, dressed in sweats); I wasn't feeling photogenic and I guessed maybe neither was she. But it was really cool. I'm a huge fan.

Truly a brilliant film! Cheers to Christopher Guest and his impressive ensemble cast!

The best comedic lot of actors ever I think. All of their movies are so original and hysterically funny.

Catherine's acting drunk is so great.

We’re talking about Miami now

I can barely watch this due to the tears running down my face...

Fred Willard.... funniest guy esp. in the Mock-umentaries. "How about if we just splash the whole group with water. and every body goes WOT HOPPENED?" or... give the bloodhound a Sherlock Holmes hat and pipe. Priceless stuff.

On man I love trivia, and did not know that. Linda is a real cutie! I love this scene, it is so natural, not as though they're acting at all. The "it's not you, it's me," from Seinfeld breaks me up every time. Thanks for the info.

OMFG, I began looking for a fav clip from a half-remembered "For Your Consideration" and am now going to finally commit to my once halfhearted goal of watching watching ALL of this guy's (the director) movies!! I love Catherine O'Hara so much, for one thing.

Alan's "I'm sorry?" kills me every time.

Comedy gold, comedy genius. Ohara and Levy is the gold standard comedy duet.

one of the top 10 funniest movie moments of all time!

Happy 60s Catherine O'Hara

The bit about the operation, she's doing it like Fred would. So he gets to be the restrained one, but only for a minute. It's brilliant.

I know that's a 3 year old comment, but search "well pissed father". It's from an 80's British film. The drunk acting blows my mind every time I see it. You are right though, Catherine O'hara is fantastic.

O'Hara is fantastic! and in my humble opinion...should have gotten OSCAR for best actress in " For Your Consideration " !

Have just discovered these crazy films and adore everyone, but especially Catherine and Jennifer Coolidge!

This almost went wrong because Catherine went in a different direction at first by suggesting he had an enlargement ("it's not minor anymore") but who else but Fred would invent a penis reduction premise? She plays along because it's ridiculous and a better "Yes, and..." and we get comedy gold.

Catherine O"Hara does the best drunk scenes in the business. Her other one is in "For Your Consideration". It may have been in the DVD extras, don't remember but it was unbelievable.

"Ssh, girl talk" brilliant... lol 🤣

LOL there's so much subtle comedy going on here, "Chop Suey" 0:05 "we've been coming here for many, many years" Wife says "Every Thursday" and still can't work Chop Sticks ...
