Little shop of horrors - Dentist! (Old upload)

I had a wisdom tooth pulled years ago and this song was playing in my head the. entire. time. My dentist also looked at bit like Steve Martin, so that didn't help. I told him about it later and he got me back by pretending to suck up some gas and then say, 'What? You thought that was for you?' and cackling like crazy. Had he not been my childhood dentist, I probably would of ran out of the room screaming.

[@littlezorkie9311]

J Jones your dentist sounds like a real jokesterXD

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

I wish I still had my childhood dentist. When I was little, I never even knew he gave me shots because he'd numb the area and make sure the needle was out of sight. He always talked me through the hard parts. When I got older, was disabled, broke and in need of a root canal, he did the procedure for free. I don't think I appreciated him as much as I should have while I knew him. Mind you, I _did_ appreciate him. I just assumed most dentists were like him. WRONG! I don't know if he's still living, but I almost feel like I need to send him a note of appreciation after the experiences I've had with other dentists. I had a representative from an organization who looks out for disabled people with me at an appointment on Friday and the dentist _still_ treated me like a piece of crap. The representative said she could have written him up immediately, but doing so would be counterproductive. When I got home, I remembered this scene / song and I've been mollifying myself with it.

[@Thom1212]

Had three wisdoms pulled by an Army dentist at one time. Woke up at 5am, given a local and the procedure started. I was eventually given a couple of motrin (literally 2, which all Army medical handed out like candy. It was their cure-all for everything from a stubbed toe to a sucking chest wound...) and 24 hrs to get over it.

[@Timbrock1000]

IRONICALLY, THIS SCENE INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A DENTIST! 😂 Yes, really. I was 12 years old in '86 when this movie came out. I was busting a gut watching Steve Martin ad the sadistic Dentist. (Even when he ended up as plant food!). But this scene also sparked my interest in dentistry, and I decided I wanted to be a dentist. So, after high school in 1992, I went to college, earned by BS degree, then on to Intro to Medicine, and to Dental school. FYI: To become a dentist, one must show excellent grades, as well as have funds to pay for the schooling. But before that, a dental school applicant must be evaluated by a board staffed by practicing dentists. The applicant must show he/she has the right temperament to be a dentist. The board I mentioned is staffed by practicing dentists. These people have a deep reverence for the highly respectfull and admired profession Dentistry is. The board members must agree that a given applicant is an ideal candidate to be admitted to dental school. If they don't agree, the applicant will be turned away. Now, here I am, 20+ years in the profession.

I know that might sound stupid when talking about a 'silly' film like this, but it's true. Also, the scene with Bill Murray as the masochist... that just confused things for me :P

[@theanglerfish9852]

This movie got everything right. Amazing songs and actors perfetly fitting their roles. I can´t imagine anyone else other than Steve martin playing the sadistic dentist.

[@desharrahscott8556]

Aidan Reviews I love that damn part !!! 😂😂😂

[@zarcon85]

My dentist asked me why i'm afraid....i asked her: " Did u ever see the "Dentist scene" in "Little shop of horrors"? She cracked up for 2 minutes straight....lol.

[@docthefaust4519]

You sure she wasn't on the ol nitrous? 😂

[@ringozeitgeist]

Have you ever seen "Marathon Man"?

[@agnesi8690]

I brush my teeth religiously bc of this bit. My dentist is like, do you have another dentist? I tell him not really.

[@EffinSlayerized]

This is still so great and hysterical after all these years. Steve Martin Is a legend. One of my favorite rolls of his. And when Bill Murray comes in and is all getting off on the pain. Lmao.

[@ashleyseay7646]

Going to the dentist this morning. This always makes me feel better.

[@Rlotpir1972]

Pam and Gina were two of the three vocalists.

[@Quaczar1]

Robert Lopresti we know 😌

[@marcustrice3246]

The other singer Michelle Weeks

[@penina8438]

I’m so glad this movie played in to how camp this song was, plus being directed by Frank Oz and hiring a bunch of comedians. So many movie musicals now take everything so seriously.

[@Tyler_Mills26]

I love his dancing at 2:12 it's so funny never fails to make me laugh xxx

[@briantyler3474]

Anyone notice that Orin's mother kind of looks like Agatha Trunchbull from Matilda?

[@elijahalonzo6056]

Potential crossover?

[@ProfessorUniverse95]

His mother looks like a dude

[@elgrigorio1]

Oh God Yes, yes yes. I was beginning to wonder who that was

[@ticklesyoumoistly]

Hell fucken yass

[@airotiv7916]

Omgoodness could you imagine if this was in the same universe?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@freddiemercury5747]

O H M O M M A that is my favorite part of this

[@AntiSocialExtrovert323]

2:04 “oh mawmuh” 😂. I love Steve Martin SO much. This part is actually really hard to execute and he was marvelous in it. The camp is just perfection.

[@pompeii7839]

the fact that someone thought to rhyme bicuspid with maladjusted will always be so impressive to me

[@wildsmiley]

This brings me back. Oh, the nostalgia. My brother and I watched this movie numerous times back in the ‘80s when we were kids. We loved singing along to this song the most.

[@SKYDORMER]

2:11: those moves tho xD

[@kawaiimarshmallowlover9011]

SKYDORMER me trying to dance

[@TheHManShow]

Sometimes it’s hard for me to believe that’s Steve Martin! A great singing voice, so much energy, and incredibly hilarious (but of course he’s hilarious it’s Steve Martin)

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

He’s also a virtuoso banjo player as well!

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

@caitlyncarvalho7637 I agree!

[@Signalement]

I am a dentist and I approve this message.

[@binghamguevara6814]

That elvis-lipped ‘maladjusted ’kills me every time.

[@ReubensTutorials]

3 girls: what did she say? Orin: - sings an entire song- 3 girls: it doesn’t really take an entire song to explain what said :/

[@usedbodypillow6718]

I've replayed this like 100 times this week. Why is this song so good.

[@dideoluwaadebayo923]

Every time I hear this song I wish I went to dental school, for no reason other than I would have had so much fun blasting this song daily on my way to work.

[@littlesomebody_]

but hey, you can still blast it kn your way to a different job

[@davidfarmer2193]

So pleased to hear commentary by Frank Oz that Steve Martin didn't really want to hurt the boy 0:58 :)

[@DaveDave65]

Priceless. What a superb ensemble they put together for this movie. Talent, quality & class to the extreme :))))

[@kimmyfreak200]

my brother and i laughed like maniacs during the bill murray scene when he is moaning and grabbing his shoulder🤣 its one of the funniest scenes ever done

[@musicalmaniac9183]

"I thrill when I drill a biscuspid, it's swell though they tell me I'm maladjusted" Is such an underrated line

[@gavinhart1068]

When I first watched this movie, I laughed out loud throughout the entirety of this song and any time he punched a nurse and the best part is that I was alone. No one else around: Steve Martin is hilarious 😂

[@beejfqjuice]

YEAH FRR!

[@skeaneable]

Trivia: 2 of the female background singers Tisha Campbell and Tichina Arnold later got roles in the black sitcom 'Martin' playing Gina Waters-Payne and Pamela "Pam" James respectively!!!

[@8Rincewind]

I remember seeing this when I was young, I never realised Steve Martin played this role. At the time I didn't know who Steve Martin is and I remembered this song well (because it's super catchy and memorable) but I'd never revisited when I was older so never connected it to the dad from Cheaper by the Dozen. (I know Steve Martin has been in loads of other things, but when I picture his face, Cheaper by the Dozen is the first one that springs to mind.)

[@danielmoran3233]

Every aspect of this movie is QUALITY. It’s excellent. The song writing is smart, hilarious and catchy. I can’t think of a modern actor that could deliver a performance like this with the energy Steve Martin does here. The backup singers add so much. It’s like they are in the movie, but not in the movie. I know it’s a cliche but Hollywood couldn’t make a movie like this today. They don’t have the acting talent or writing capability anymore.

[@cenglish0828]

Someone that could have approached Steve's brilliance in this role is Michael Palin. He's such a soft spoken, sweetheart of a man. But look at the scene in Terry Gilliam's Brazil, where he's torturing his own friend into a confession. - He played a sadist brilliantly and he could handle the comedic side just as naturally. Brilliant by Steve though, no doubt..

[@chatteringbox7583]

What's crazy is that Audrey actually dated this guy

[@sso_emmy5739]

*but he's a professional*

[@HB-ge9of]

He probably would have killed her if she tried to break up with him

[@springheartedtiger]

Maybe because she wanted a guy who can provide money for them both

[@hollywoodmkx]

Yes, Doctah..coming Doctah!

[@usedforks]

That girl suffers from a low self image

[@stephaniemahoney7737]

My dentist was very old school. His mentality was if it didn't hurt, he wasn't doing his job. He has since retired. I have severe phobia of dentists. My new dentist is absolutely amazing.

[@GCJACK83]

Steve Martin at his absolute best.

[@JMaxfield09]

I would never had guessed that the dental nurse at 0:45 and 1:45 was British-Australian actress Miriam Margolyes, had she not recently suggested how Steve Martin's "talent for causing things pain" wasn't quite staged as intended, contrary to what Martin and director Frank Oz have attested.

[@mikemccabe8841]

I only learned recently that the nurse/receptionist he punches and hits with the door is miriam margalees!

[@carolcheslek4510]

at 1:50 is absolute ear candy! The singing is wonderful in this movie.

[@joemasters2270]

Steve Martin totally NAILED this.

[@OldCouches]

I’m suffering a particular bad sickness these last few days, and I have been waking up over and over for the last hour with this song stuck in my head. I keep getting to the part where he rips off his leather jacket and then it resets in my mind

[@BlueCanary-cr5um]

I can't hate Steve Martin even in this role. What a legend. The fact that the Ronettes like him is telling. He is both the least and most likeable character in the movie.

[@riverjordan2725]

The least likeable character is Audrey 2. Audrey 2 EATS people! 😱 The WORST things Orin did was give Audrey the Human a black eye, punch his assistant, hit her with door, and perform sadistic and painful dental procedures.

[@RadagonTheRed]

He’s the musical equivalent of Negan!!!

[@docthefaust4519]

Ah shut up, open wide, you just took one HELL of a HIT!!

[@Entertainment_Headquarters]

"On the 23rd day of the month of september, the Entertainment Headquarters will revisit Mr. Mushnik's flower shop. Uploads will start then."

[@AFoxInFlames]

My step brother played him in our high-school musical of Little Shop of Horrors it was so good!
