John Munch ~ Rebel Just for Kicks

This one’s personal to me. I cannot put into words how under appreciated both Munch the character and Richard Belzer himself are. Seriously. I don’t agree with him on everything (nobody does) but what I wouldn’t give to sit and have a conversation with the man… anyway about the video, it’s a short song but I tried to include all the best quotes. I am going to stick with the wii music for most funny ones but Munch deserved something a little more original. And I didn’t include quite as many captions cuz honestly… I can’t top that humor, only emphasize and add to other characters reactions. I hope I did it a little justice, he seriously deserves more attention. Enjoy.

My favorite scene of his!

[@MsLogjam]

I liked the episode where he was undercover as a pedophile making arrangements to buy a couple of kids from Central America. Big old grin on his face as he pretended to be a happy, rich perv but of course he was really smiling because he was about to nail the trafficker.

Muuuuunch! I miss him and his conspiracies. Also, this reminds me that I miss those fun days of S1 with Jeffries and baby Cassidy aha (although no worries, I love you too Fin). Great vid as always...he's definitely an underappreciated character.

[@mckayleem3098]

I know. I desperately need him to drop in and start making cracks about Benson and Stabler 😂

coming back to this, like many, after Richard Belzer's passing. thank you for this great encapsulation of munch.

[@neko_nightstar1819]

I miss him. I wish he would visit. One of my favorites was when Finn called him his Jew and he said "What if I called you my boy?" and Finn said "I'll be your boy, John." And when they found the Cavalier whose owner had been murdered and he was carrying him around and kissing him. I'm a Cavalier owner myself and it's impossible for even the worst cynic to resist them.

[@killnotic]

Richard Belzer was one of a kind. RIP, sir.

I remember that scene in the court, Munch dropped probably the wildest line on SVU, even the defense and the DA said "OBJECTION" at the same time

That time when he made a dead baby joke and Stabler told him to knock it off 😂 , John munch was in other tv shows such as Homicide Life on Street. Beltzer was great actor , who had really good sense of hunour and will be missed

[@metro121482]

Such a great character...and on so many different shows! I remember watching Homicide: Life on the Street back in the 90's and thinking Munch was the coolest character ever. I couldn't believe it when the character ended up on SVU! (And that X-Files episode crossover deserves an honorable mention, too! Munch and Mulder, two kindred spirits!)

[@PaperbackWizard]

I think the first time I saw Munch, he was "spelling" the word paroxysm in open court. Either that, or it was when he guest-starred on "The X-Files". He made an impression both times.

John Munch really reminds me of Detective Arthur Dietrich from the 70s and 80s cop sitcom Barney Miller. Guy's extremely knowledgable, flexes that knowledge to the entire squad, squad ignores it sometimes but his theories are proven correct at times, and also has objections to the prosecution and the defense. And they also share one trait, they "hate bureaucrats." 🤣🤣🤣
