Acting Masterclass with Michael Caine

From The Peter Serafinowicz Show - coming to DVD Autumn 2009!

[@thecw301]

"Has anyone got any sausages?" "Yeah yeah of course"

[@Serai3]

See, what's REALLY funny about this is that it's not only a parody of Michael, but a parody of a specific program he did called "Michael Caine on Acting", which was indeed a master class with Caine. If you can find it, you'll see how good this actually is.

[@Genious.]

Luckily it's on here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIuzfYl6rKqlbbs I first heard about this on Howard Stern who did a full 20-30 minutes on it back in the 90s and it led to me actually renting the video so I could see it for myself.

[@helix254]

Watching that program now on BBC4 and its spot on 😂

[@patriceaqa288]

​@@helix254Kevin Spacey actually did an acting masterclass years after peters sketch. When Steve Martin did a comedy masterclass I couldn't tell if it was a wind up or not

[@veronicapagelaflin]

oh my gosh I thought this was that it took me a second to realize this was not that

[@sphinxtheeminx]

Good to see Benedict Wong when he was a young pup. He's a British institution - honour required in his direction, your majesty.

[@daveys]

I was just wondering if that was Benedict Wong.

[@vooveks]

You’re not Wong.

[@michaelcox3403]

Magnificent. The sound of the leather jacket kills me.

[@idespisebeans9158]

Holy shit this is ancient.

[@davidaston5773]

I LOVE and find it very amusing, in the video side bar, there are LOTS of REAL Michael Caine acting classes videos?!?" And the weird thing? Peter Serafinowicz has got Caine, as all his RECREATIONS, spot on to the point that dear wonderful Jon Culshaw would tipping his hat. IT JUST OCCURRED TO ME Peter Serafinowicz, John Culshaw and Kevin Pollak (famous for his amazing Columbo and others) should do a special together? Or a series? David

[@XhoowieX]

Almost died when Caine walked into the back of his own shot.

[@garethwynn01]

@@arjanpatel4895 of course it's Michael Caine! There were even 2 of him at one point how can you not see that it's Caine?! How much more of Michael Caine do you want before you are convinced that it's Michael Caine?

@@Kriegsman1119 it has been 11 years but I still haven't fully recovered from the incident; how dare you question my experience? In fact, your comment brought me back to this video and has triggered some pretty serious PTSD. Shame on you.

[@NicholasMarakas]

The sound of the leather jacket always gets me. This sketch is unreal. Super accurate. I loved his real acting class by the way. Michael Caine is a legend.

[@felicity4711]

That was a good Bob Hoskins impression!

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

This is a 1000% perfect impression of the movie acting class Caine did!

[@Kiwi_In_Japan]

He just happened to have some sausages.

[@purefoldnz3070]

of course its Wong from Dr Strange.

[@henridelagardere264]

2:41 The sausage and the box of lovely cigars, genius!

[@SirSmellaLot]

Peter Serafinowicz is some sort of genius. Comedic maybe.

[@moddler]

I love that Benedict Wong is in this.

[@denissweet6639]

I honestly thought that it was Michael Caine teaching a real class for the first few seconds or so before I figured out it was all a joke. I was looking for a clip on youtube where Michael Caine teaches a class of film acting and when I selected this clip I thought I found it. I was pleasantly surprised when the clip turned more and more hilarious.

[@ShiroMiura-fy4lw]

Me too. I was like, sausages?

[@OIP_1]

holy shit there are so many perfect moments in this sketch. the sausage in front of the cigar box at the very end destroyed me

[@AndyFerr]

They got me there when someone just randomly has a pack of sausages during acting class with Michael Caine.

[@apologyisnothepolicy]

Serafinowicz doesn't need scathological humor at all,he just comes with this insane shit all the time,he's a genuis

[@Phil_Mitchell]

Yeah, that's why he had Brando lay a turd in his sketch...

[@liamdhardy]

I think he would do a great Sean Lock impression.

[@FlyingFox86]

He does and has.

[@goatlps]

Sean Lock isn't famous though.

[@MEGABUMSTENCH]

@@goatlps not as famous

[@nkt1]

Too late now.

[@vooveks]

@@nkt1 Yeah, it’s terrible that once someone dies, you can no longer do impressions of them. Just one of those weird facts of life, like dolphins not having nipples.

[@TrailBlazer5280]

Just watched Michael Cain master class the other day, this is so damn funny

[@johnmartinez7440]

This is weirdly relaxing

[@somebuddyX]

I love Bob Hoskins double take as he walks off.

[@MegaAg47]

I lost it a the sausages part that's going to take me a few days to recover from.

[@Basauri48970]

Excellent impersonation. Nearly faultless, actually. But also a demonstration of how very few people are born with that elusive star quality that can never be replicated. The pure magnetism and charisma of Michael Caine's facial features, the electricity in his voice, his suave mannerisms, that keep the audience staring at him over anything else that's going on, on and off screen. This guy here though, although technically brilliant, has seemingly nothing behind his cold, blank stare. His facial language also remains nearly still. He couldn't pick up the intuitive Michael's micro gestures that make him so attractive and relatable. That's something you need to be born with.

[@TheSpuddmann12]

The part about the cigars had me in tears!

[@indypj7443]

George. Where've you hidden the maona lisa!?

[@acron21k]

Puranjay Samson "Where've you Hidden the maona leiiisa?"

[@crixxxxxxxxx]

It’s funny because the movie they were in together called Mona Lisa had nothing to with the painting or anyone stealing it.

[@mikabreto]

Brilliant

[@paulmorphy6187]

How can this just be forgotten its brilliant stuff

[@TheStoneMagnet]

Why does this not have more views? This is brilliant!

[@giovanna722]

An excellent impression of Caine. Probably the best I've seen. Who is this talent?🤗

[@planetyes]

Michael is so down to earth. it's so refreshing to see him remain true to his east end roots eleven after all these years. God bless ya, Mikey!

[@RollingOrmond]

+planetyes You know this is a Michael impersonator, right?

I've never seen the sausage/cigar bit at the end. Effing genius!

[@greg82380]

I watched Michael Caine's acting class, and then this was recommended, lol

[@bidenisnotourpresidentscre3032]

the end scene when the cigar turns into a sausage ...OMG

[@MadMatt021081]

I was feeling down this morning, until I watched this. Thank you Peter. 😂

[@marksmith4304]

This is hilarious and brilliant, when I first saw it, I said Michael is young there, then had me in stitches, I am sure the real Michael would like this, I wonder if he has seen it, lol

Has anyone got any sausages? guy pulls out pack of sausages

[@Harrier_DuBois]

More Petafinowicz! Someone give him a new show please!

[@darylperrins820]

I reckon Coogan and Brydon where watching this and just updated it to show the effect of all those cigars over the years. Pete's is still the gold standard however. I remember the original Caine masterclass and its not far off.

[@SirMrHowell]

I need Peter Serafinowicz to portray Michael Caine is his upcoming biography film. It's too brilliant!

[@wallyanimations]

waw, that was hilarious, especially the end, this video needs more attention

[@NxDoyle]

I know that girl. She's with Margaret Harris at Take One Management. She's changed her hair.

"the movie camera"

[@tomthefunky]

I'm a butcher. I often carry sausages around with me. Here in NYC there's a company called Pork King. They are a fantastic sausage company based in the Bronx. I often take their sausages home.

[@stud105]

Too much information...😁😉 Thanks for sharing your new York tales though. I carry strips of bacon whenever I'm out in North London.

[@areposo]

always remember to bring sausages to a classroom

[@kingomar69]

LOL, like his Acting in Film Workshop. The wardrobe, the camera, everything.

[@FlashMeterRed]

oh the hand with the sausage callback on the sausage-cigars got me good

[@banchtants]

His wardrobe is spot-on.

[@bcask61]

Michael Caine is a great actor. Not a lot of people know that.

[@TolkienStudy]

So funny! Brilliant man!

[@normietwiceremoved]

The fact that Benedict Wong has sausages on him without explanation fucking kills me.

[@deliusmyth5063]

The sausage packaging changed into a cigar box as well.

Looking forward to this coming out on DVD! May I ask when it might be purchased on Laserdisc? Ask Jeeves doesn't appear to know.

Sounds like Sean Lock

[@kinggimped]

It's Michael Caine's aesthetics with Sean Lock's cadence. I never realised how similar the two voices are until I saw this clip.

[@thesoze1]

So good in "Spaced" lol!

[@Webbula]

He's a bit like Del from Wayne's World 2. "But the shopkeeper an his son were a different story. We had to beat them to death with their own shoes..."

[@Uniongamers]

I have to also ask whether Ozzy went on stage?

[@ltrifari]

Had me goin there for a minute.....

[@QualityLindsey]

Oh my- there's a touch of Savill in there..

[@TheSultan03]

WOW!!!!

[@green-isaac-ii]

I seem to remember a different part to this scene - where Mr. Caine teaches a way of remembering one's lines by counting to nine in the same rhythm. Maybe it was one of the other masterclasses? Maybe I'm imagining things...?

[@WayneYonke]

@loginatu2 The leather jacket sounds are really brilliantly nuanced! TRUE

[@goatlps]

My friend and I were just watching the original Caine acting masterclass video. This is an exact word for word replica - I don't get the joke.

And just think. The "asian acting student" in the class is Benedict Wong aka of Doctor Strange, Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame, Annihilation, The Martian, Prometheus, etc. He acted on four episodes of The Peter Serafinowicz Show ;)
