Martin Mull's The History of White People in America - Part 2

This is from the satirical Cinemax series "The History of White People in America," starring Fred Willard and Mary Kay Place. Between SPINAL TAP and BEST IN SHOW, there was this short series by Martin Mull and featuring familiar faces of improvisational comedy in the United States including Harry Shearer and Michael "Lenny" McKean, among so many others.

Came here to celebrate Martin Mull and found myself celebrating soooo many comedy greats we've lost - Fred Willard, Edie McClurg, David L. Lander, Jack Riley, et al. What an amazing cast he was able to assemble.

What? No Mary Kay Place?

Fred and Martin were an incomparable duo. I thought they were a perfect match up then. I have never forgotten their brilliance; or this series. Priceless!! Who could ever forgot Fred saying, “ I’m just a girl who can’t say no!”.... he was truly one of a kind, and so was Martin. RIP!

[@benicio1967]

This series was so underrated but those who loved it couldn’t get enough of this show. Truly great stuff. Willard and mull together were magic! I miss them both so much.

[@vlera8447]

Thank you🎉 Thinking of Martin Mull

[@ChrisMaxfieldActs]

R.I.P. Fred Willard. You were brilliant actor, performer, and improvisor, and I think some of your best work was on this series.

[@tubian323]

RIP Martin Mull and Fred Willard♥

[@pauladouglas9891]

So nice to see these tribute videos. Martin was so multitalented, an artist, musician and brilliant comedian. The line about Jesus going through the goalposts was priceless.

This was the proto-Simpsons. I loved this series, introduced me to satire.

[@cellison9414]

Just what I needed tonight - a joy to watch this great troupe of actors!

[@mordantfilms]

Thank you for posting this! I had parts one and two on VHS long ago and have never seen them available anywhere. Hilarious stuff!

[@ChrisMaxfieldActs]

I think this show was more influential than SPINAL TAP in creating the mockumentary as practiced by Chris Guest to this day. And Fred Willard is a comedy genius!

Wowy zowy. Life has overtaken art!

So many familiar faces, including SNL, Cheers, "Mary Hartman", & its spin-off, "Fernwood Tonight", also set in OH. Dry humor, & no laugh-track. In 2012, 72 yr old Fred Willard was arrested for a Pee Wee Herman type episode in a Hollywood theater. And of course, bandleader "Adrian Van Voorhees", on the Jiminy Glick show. Even George Gobel, and Stella Stevens, as the waitress. (First time I saw MM was in the early 1970s, a stand-up comedian (sitting in an upholstered chair with a floor lamp) in a club in Harvard Sq. Last time I saw him was in a Golden Girls episode.)

"They talk about Stan Musial, but God is the tops." "Been around along time hasn't he?" RIP Fred Willard and Martin Mull.

Martin just passed away, late June, this 2024. RIP.

I need copies of these gems again! I recorded them; but, in my wisdom, I had a beta recorder....and don't have one any longer. Stop laughing. ^^,

"Part One" is The History of White People in America, which is a fake documentary. "Part Two" is the complete TV series from Cinemax. There is no "Part Three."

[@supermanziggy]

Nothing like making fun of Christian church where Jesus is the only possible way of avoiding going to hell for eternity. I don't want any one possible or any thing possible to keep others being in the only way to heaven. It's not a joke. No matter how you think or f and facing eternity it's dead serious. Because we are each near stepping into eternity. Though now I am elderly and known different kinds of people. I want you to know out of all the people I know who were just mean, abusive, and awful. I would not want them to go to hell. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Unless a person seeks God asking forgiveness for breaking Gods moral law Judgement will be forever. It is serious my felllow human being. This? It is not a true point o finding God.

Lighten up, Francis.

This hasn't aged well. It's only created resentments that led to MAGAism.

[@stephanie1624]

The point is that these resentments have been there all along. Trump legitimized these feelings, unfortunately.

[@paisleybabee]

Oh come on! You really believe that?

[@cindy5213]

To the contrary, it’s still funny

[@pauladouglas9891]

It's called COMEDY.

[@MMECorbett]

It's something called "satire" and it didn't create any resentment. Ignorance is the main driving force behind MAGAism.
