Batman 1966 King Tut Best Moments Part 1

King Tut is my favorite original villain from the show. So I am showing you the start of his best moments.

[@garykass114]

"I kept my sanity by reciting the multiplication tables backwards." Classic.

[@blueschewy2558]

Thought you'd unhinged me, did you?!

[@christiankrenek7689]

One of the campiest characters of this show-and THAT is saying something. :p Victor Buono, who played King Tut, was a classically-trained actor who starred in Shakespearean productions and received an Oscar nomination for “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” Despite this pedigree, though, Buono loved the role and came back several times precisely *because* Tut was so ridiculously over the top. He even happily bragged that being on “Batman” gave him the excuse to do something he’d been told never to do-OVERACT! :p Thanks for the laughs, Mr. Buono. :D

[@toomanyaccounts]

He is like Brian Blessed in Flash Gordon. Just having a blast doing his role.

[@KingGhidorah5464]

4:30 I’ll bet anything he just did that to try and make the actress crack 😂

[@qgde3rty8uiojh90]

@@KingGhidorah5464 I suspect she did crack... Just watch her turn away as Tut gets in her face. And then the edited, immediate cut says it all...

Victor Buono and I share the same birthdate Feb 3. I loved him as King Tut.

I can understand the main villain dressing a certain way but I always wondered how they convinced their henchmen to do it too.

“Nefertiti … we could have you filleted for that.” As campy as he was, there was a menacing undertone that was necessary to keep it all going.

[@gregnorman2181]

ALL HAIL TO KING TUT

[@johnbockelie3899]

My favorite scene is where he abducted Robin , Robin says " You just wait until Batman gets here !!". Tut retorts , " You just wait Nah, nah , nah nah!!!, ...TAKE HIM AWAY !!!". His retort is done in childish tone.

[@Excremental_Discharge]

I was so happy to see King Tut in the Lego Batman Movie.

[@zemox2534]

King Tut was the best original villain on the show.

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

Agreed, though Shame and Egghead both came pretty close.

[@michaelnally2841]

@@nicholasfarrell5981what might’ve helped Egghead was the fact he was played by Vincent Price

[@gamera5160]

He was the best villain in the show. He's my favorite, no questions asked!

[@Arathor82]

Underrated villain.

[@AT-sd9qq]

He’s easily the most underrated comic book villain I’ve seen in tv or movies. Mainly due to Buono’s perfect over acting.

[@hughdismuke4703]

I watched Batman during the 1970's. I never realized how 'shakespearian' Buono was. I think the main attraction to batman was how great these classic artists really were. The Penguin, The Joker, The Riddler and the rest. All classic characters put on by superb actors.

[@jessfrankel5212]

Buono could overact with the best of them, but that's what made him likeable in this role. But he was a very versatile actor who could do drama, horror, and comedy with equal aplomb. He was great in Who's Minding The Mint as the Captain--that shot of him going down with the ship is classic--and he was amazing in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Pity he died so young.

[@kaos2317]

I also enjoyed his performance as Count Carlos Mario Vincenzo Robespierre Manzeppi in the Wild Wild West TV show. Ah, such talent, such style

[@masongarrett3066]

When did he die? How did he die?

[@jonesy2111]

He was a truly unique character and he played the parts of outlandish villains with relish

[@christopherbacon1077]

If there's one series-only villain I would want to see in a movie this would be it. The only problem would be finding someone who could match Buono's performance

[@tomkerruish2982]

John Lithgow comes to mind, but he's likely retired.

[@christopherbacon1077]

I'm thinking Nathan Lane or Jack Black

[@JacobNintendoNerd99]

While King Tut is series only, in spirit I will always maintain that he was adapted into Maxie Zeus in every other medium because Zeus has Tut's spiel down to a T, sans switching Egypt for Greece

[@azure-aeon-dragonica]

[@azure-aeon-dragonica]

[@c.rutherford]

I love the "Now dance for our amusement. Music! BAT Music!!!!". And he just happened to have a Bat Music 33 record on hand. Now that's a well prepared villain lol

[@toddmartin6572]

The Great Victor Buono… a very talented thespian

[@brianthomas2434]

As someone once said, when Victor Buono was made, the mold was ALREADY broken.

[@Tasukihori]

One of my favorite villains from the 60’s Batman TV show… Wish they could have incorporated this character in Batman the Animated series in the early 90’s…

That pharaoh dude ran a pretty tight ship. His concubine was pretty smoking too.

[@kristopherryanwatson]

the most whitewashed villain of all. they couldn't even bother to get someone who looked dark skinned. its very cringeworthy

[@kevindavis296]

No! Egghead is.

[@haruyasumi616]

dude. that's the joke. the whole point is that he is far from feasibly being king tut as possible. (tutankhamen was also 18 or 19 when he died). he has this delusion from being bonked on the head too many times.

i loved the hammy acting by sid haig as the apothecary. i wish they'd had him in more episodes.

[@drcrumpler]

Between this role and Count Manzeppi on the Wild Wild West, Buono's role is unbeatable. Catch him on any show and he kicks it up several notches.

why? that makes no sense. it seems like you try to find problems where none are.

[@c.rutherford]

Disney will probably rewrite the series soon enough and make the crime fighting heroes strong black women and a rainbow all- minority cast. Like every classic, every race deserves representation in Batman, so they can "see themselves" in it! 🙄

Good childhood memories.I ask to myself if Maxie Zeus of comics is was inspired by King Tut because both are delusional madmans that think are gods.

[@brianthomas2434]

My understanding is DC couldn't use Tut since he was created for Fox studios. Maxie was a work-around. I've never seen stories with him but understand he's played seriously. So whoever wanted to utilize Tut clearly missed the point.

If you have a handsome appearance & great personality, Nefertiti would desire some quality private time with you! My 4th ex-girlfriend Kim Beaudry ONCE told me: "BLONDES tease, brunettes please"! Meaning brunette women ♀️ are better & willing to fulfill a guys desires!
