Harland Williams Kicks Ass

Harland Williams on "Thank God You're Here"

[@jamescollins2638]

I remember seeing this on tv when it came out. Blew my mind how well he did at improv.

[@Imperium83]

Harland is one of the most underrated comedians of our time. Every movie he's in is that much better because of him.

[@EGOS42]

This continues to be the best piece of improv I've ever seen. Amazing!

[@shamelwow]

Awesome! I remember seeing live... his regular stand-up kinda sucked, but when he did improve with the audience, it was hilarious.

[@dailytimes6787]

Joey Shamel I just saw him live 3 weeks ago. It was insanely funny. If he ever goes to your town you must go

[@zachpayne3533]

While most contestants on this show were simple followers, Harland took the lead and he did it perfectly

[@masterof1]

I find it hilarious that he keeps them on their heels the whole way. The look on their faces says it all.

[@randman21]

I remember seeing this when it first aired. I knew Harland would do well, but this had me in stitches. I hated that it was canceled, as this was the only episode I saw.

[@lelandfranklin3487]

Brilliant! True artist at work!

[@Rocketjay12]

He was brilliant! I remember lmao when this aired originally.

[@gershonhopster]

nothing less than legendary.

[@castle4640]

Prime example of Harland's comedic genius in action.

[@Marius-vw9hp]

Harland WIlliams is made for this. He should have been part of the Green Screen show.

[@x0xDarthWyylokx0x]

what a mad man!!! the win is overwhelming

[@RogueRaven17]

"Pull it out Professor Tinklebottom!" "That's what she said, old boy."

[@richardgwynedd1024]

classic!! harland is a legend!

[@Turkstank]

harland williams is comic genius

[@Playan.]

Harland Really rules the show!!

[@garymcaleer6112]

Genius in comedic improvisation is also seen in the jazz world. Both soften the blow of life's temptations.

[@ltmcknight]

AMAZING...improv at its finest

[@matthewdethrow]

Harland Williams, David Alan Grier, and Dave Foley... what a lineup!!

[@striklylow]

it waz also great tht he came up with smthng 2 say next without hezitation

[@Atticusv1]

Thank you, Harland... thank you.

[@667mumble]

they should bring this show back

[@Elusive_Pete]

Across all seasons in all countries, this is a top 5 set for sure.

[@Ev105]

Harland was one of the few who made the premis actually work.

[@someone20th]

His face after he says KFC is just hilarious. 3:30

[@54spiritedwill54]

this show was funny. I wish it was still on the air

[@filmidioten]

Hahaha.. this is perhaps the best Thank God-performances I've seen on KZbin (which is impressive since generally speaking the Aussie version pwns the US version). Great job Harland!

[@jeahhh]

Oh the Hilarity! All of it improve! Bravo Harland ENCORE good chap!

[@jesusranch34]

Harland Williams is Canadian, one of the reasons why he's funny

[@batlizard37]

HARLAND IS A GOD!

[@chaseman12]

harland is so great

[@underpressureprod]

love tht guy

[@margarettejeda4795]

I missed it he was so young and with the Chewbacca that's when I was a teenager I used be in love with his outfit his boots in 2009 but he is mature then I'll leave him with my sister he is very funny looking.

[@theinfiniteawe]

Definitely.

[@killerkombat428]

harland williams is the funniest person alive

[@MetalSonicEX]

I saw this when it first aired. Has it really been five years since then? Holy hell...

[@fly2k6]

"Yes...Let's Do...Shall we Pillsbury"

[@Red10Ferrari]

At the end he was gonna say HEAD!!! lol

[@HavendaleBlvd80]

Harland Williams with a grand slam performance.

[@jonathanelmasih8974]

WE SHALL BOW TO LORD HALAND WILLIAMS!

[@RonRock1967]

His bird calls are soo funny! And his Chewbacca impersonation.!!🤪😆😆😂😂

[@OneMansLoss]

Love him!

[@ATHODrew]

My favorite one of all!

[@herronariela7469]

Shows him with some girls:What were you exploring here? I do believe I was exploring the deeper jungle lmao

[@peterblumpkin7454]

Thanks, I could see that because KZbin is a visual medium, but real strong comment nonetheless!

[@habarakoo]

HARLAND 4 LIFE

[@rottworks]

I lost it as early as 1:13 , luckily I had a mouth full of water all ready for a spit-take.

[@Uncle_John_Ai_Xin]

"Well, I know you gentlemen always enjoy getting a little he- AEOUNGA!" LOL Best part!!

[@johnsmith69]

Lmfao! Omg I've been looking for this for years!!! Thanks so much for posting!!! :D

[@dustinlamb7941]

This was funny as shot in 2007, still funny as shit.

[@FunkyMonk_96]

Why has Harland never been on SNL!?! He is the greatest improv actor who can keep a straight face. He was made for that show.

[@livardo]

I love that there's two Canucks prominently featured in this vid ;)

[@atiredblue]

He’s the best

[@AvaCarmichael]

Genius.

[@exaltedchampion201]

Upvoted after the first line..

[@beetlejews]

Here after Rogan podcast. Harland is amazing

[@phongie00]

I agree, the Aussie version is the original right and much better. Harland was the best of the U.S. series.

[@tkpenalty]

indeed

[@licoesdedireitoportugues4886]

Brilliant

[@lyndonluquin4091]

4:46 My favorite bit in this episode. XD

[@NotYourShiningStar]

"I know you two gentleman were interested in getting a little head." HAHA. HILARIOUS!

[@uppy11]

i made the mistack of trying to eat while i watched it

[@kornandfoofighters]

man tha aussie version is way betta and we invented so we of course tha masters of tha show

[@pauloabelha]

Just press 1 for a far away sound.

[@dashriprock5720]

I remember watching this when it came out. Harland and Bryan Cranston were very funny. I think if most of the guest on this show were half as funny it would have stayed on the air because it really was a lot of fun

[@mightisright]

It sucks that the only improv show that got viewers was Whose Line Is It Anyway. Short form games. Maybe long form is too unpredictable to hold a TV audience that wants guaranteed laughs.

[@wickkidda]

hilarious how harland takes control, i bet the other guys were a little intimidated

[@DemonFalux]

This is based off the Australian one, the one where Josh Lawson portrayed an explorer from the Amazon. Both Harland Williams and Josh Lawson aced the part completely.

[@Fridgemusa]

That was hilarious!!! As far as the copying ideas comment goes, I'm Australian and yes we copy American ideas all the time, does Australian Idol ring a bell?!

[@wtny2208]

LMAO THIS IS HILARIOUS

[@Ayo601]

kenny from half baked

[@WisconsinParkour]

ahahaha lol best one

[@badandy4452]

btw dont forget hero's returns in 7 days

[@TvvinkleToes]

Yeah

[@FunkyMonk_96]

Professor Tinklebottom was “half-baked”

[@TheChrisHype]

Harland didn’t need to be ready for the ensemble. The ensemble needed to be ready for Harland.

[@TheOffspringFan12]

i have to say Wayne Knight then Harland

[@holl01]

this is really funny! would you mind getting out of the way you freak! what did you call me? LOL

[@Therapyozot]

@xnappyboyyx i so agree

[@EpicChikenChronicles]

The magic sea turtle. Lol

[@yeah10000000000000]

yeah they didn't have any sell outs on!

[@ATHODrew]

heres the thing...everybody thinks there version is better just because they know the background of the comedian therefore they stick to them, and when we watch a comedian we don't know, its a bit tougher to relate...so just ignore the fighting and watch the show!

[@nirradical]

One of the most original comedic minds of our generation. Harland's appearances on Conan are legendary. Full playlist! kzbin.info/aero/PL8VhnpFTVmMVWCb33dYytbsN8S4jneczK&si=2-WJ8ePFiAAOnHf7

[@EWOKSUPRISE]

haha very funny! if you liked this skit, watch Ross Noble in thank god your here, hilarious!

[@Froodrook]

he is realy good at improvising...

[@JD0x0]

@phongie00 checkout the tom green one

[@dabble778]

Well, according to Wikipedia, Lincoln's still alive and living in Korea, so...

[@MissSwirlz]

hahaha this is pretty funny. isn't this the scene with josh lawson? and the one where he sings sexyback? ahhh australian humor. hamish + josh.

[@Falumpaset]

accept david's trap doors

[@Kreed101]

his improv is off the hook.

[@kuroshashu]

Agreed.

[@razorpayne13]

quick witted

[@abemcg3803]

5:53 might be the best part 😭

[@rickfranklin1471]

The magic turtle.

[@DominicanaChika]

lol they have the same pictures from the australian version :]

[@theivory1]

Classic Harland improv..... Scroll the comments and notice the random agendas placed throught.

[@djlansing2724]

*Hoooolllllllllyyyy CHIN*

[@pizzasuits]

improv'in and wackyness is definitely his strengths. Hlaf the stuff he said in "Employee of the Month" was random crap that he thought up on the spot.

[@mspill01]

This is the only skit from the american version where I thought the actor actually "got it". The american version seemed to be dependent on comedy actors who are awesome with a script. The aussie version went with radio comedians and absurdist comedians who are more experienced with thinking on their feet.

[@big_vladi]

i disagree. Jason Alexander, George Takei and Bryan Cranston were all very good

[@Marius-vw9hp]

Thanks for the names, just checked out Bryan Cranston and it was amazing! :D As good as Harland. Gonna see Jason Alexander and George Takei now.

[@lowellriggsiam]

Tom Green, was the second best.

[@Velazquez283]

@nerdflanders8710 Wayne Brady?

[@Jessabelle86]

similar pictures, but not the same ones, it was more of a close up on the african womans face, and the women in the picture of three of them were completely different.
