Porky’s tallywhacker scene with Balbricker and Mr Carter

[@chrisose]

The fact that they manager to get this scene in the can in a continuous take speaks volumes to the skill of all involved.

[@Carnage924]

What I loved was that this entire scene was not in the script, but when they all busted out laughing it was to good to throw out, & has become the main scene in the movie over the year's

[@chrisose]

@@Carnage924 What you have there is an urban myth. This scene was too well choreographed to have been a complete adlib. As the camera pulls out from the initial framing Coach Warren (Doug McGrath) is positioned to block the picture of President Eisenhower and he spends most of the scene making sure he obscures the picture. As the scene closes and the camera pushes in both McGrath and Hindman clear the sightline of the picture so the camera can get a closeup of Eisenhower's grin. It is also notable that they used Norman Rockwell's painting of Eisenhower since this presented a slightly characterized version of Eisenhower's smile, further enhancing the effect in the shot.

[@Carnage924]

@@chrisose that's not an urban myth, I asked the main character at a signing

[@trwent]

MANAGED, not "manager".

[@drewski1535]

I often wondered if they stitched in the coaches in the background after Ms Balbricker's scene and lines were done. I dont know they could have done this with everyone together it just doesn't seem possible 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bowlnow824]

Ballbricker was literally the best actor in the scene. Not laughing at this scene is absolutely great acting

[@ASmithee67]

Absolutely. To play her Balbricker character so straight and serious while the other actors are laughing... amazing.

[@donnienicholson6062]

Her best acting was in the shower with a foot on the wall and a weird look on her face like "I've wanted to rip one of these off by the roots since I was 12yo!!!"

Perfect use of a Presential Portrait EVER in Cinema History

[@josephperdomo1536]

And they did everything they could to hide the smile until the end of the scene. That was pure genus.

[@KevinO-xq1ns]

A classic scene overshadowed by the shower scene. The camera stays put. Genius!!!

[@willrodgers2436]

Part of what makes this scene so gut bustingly funny is while the mousy Mr. Carter and Miss Ballbricker are having this conversation, the young and middle aged coaches start off trying to keep from laughing, and then finally, forget it, and they begin laughing uncontrollably, and the senior male coach is looking serious and grim, but then even he begins losing it. I can't help but wonder if this scene was done in one take. I'm curious, not only because the actors' laughter seems more real to me than scripted, plus, Mr. Carter stumbling over his lines. I'm guessing Bob Clark must have thought it was so funny, there was no need to do anymore takes. But I am convinced this is the single funniest scene in Porky's. Two Thumbs Up!!

[@gitarzro6519]

Dude you hit the nail on the head. I couldn’t have explained it any better. Rolling ever time I watch this is scene I can’t stop laughing.
