SAM KINISON IN BACK TO SCHOOL

[@TakeDetour]

Two legends of comedy came together at the same time in history to create this classic scene. I am humbled and very grateful.

[@intoxicatedvideos]

I think this is Kinison's best performance ever! Working with Rodney brought him to another level.

[@ryg7779]

I always start coming apart at "Is she right?" Never fails. Legendary timing. Legendary delivery. Legendary Sam.

[@johnnyrotten5507]

the scene is over 33 years old .......and still I laughed uncontrollably.

[@rabbitsfoot8]

[@alvexok5523]

Me too!!!

[@sadakichihartmann1827]

I must have watched it at least 80 times over the years and it still kills. Absolute classic.

Damn funny! Two comedic giants in one seen. Classic, R. I. P. to them both.

[@BigTee3099]

Mannnnnnn!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!

[@Maxx61]

You can see Kinison's character loading up like a catapult after the student's answer. We all knew it was coming.

[@MatthewMcClellan]

Maxx61 He was such a master of the slow burn. When he first asks “is she right?“ with the gritted teeth, you can see him start to come apart. 😂

[@rabbitsfoot8]

ikr...it's like...wait for it..wait for it

[@alvexok5523]

@@MatthewMcClellan, Slow burn, I like that definition of the way Sam gradually mounted up to his full rage

[@robbyddurham1624]

That's a great description.

[@alvexok5523]

@robbyddurham1624 You could say that Sam's character was a traumatized Vietnam vet which was why it was such a touchy subject for him, especially when someone told him inaccurate information on it (the girl's response on why US troops were pulled out). But Sam got just as set off when talking about the Korean War with Rodney, was Sam a veteran of that war too? You can believe Vietnam, especially if he went out there during the last years of it (1973-1975), but he looked too young to have been at least 18 at the time of the Korean War since that was the early 1950s

[@edkeaton1085]

This will never be a tiresome scene to watch! Just too damn funny! RIP both Rodney Dangerfield and Sam Kinison. Thanks for the memories.😊😎

[@thatonemama]

Kinison was so fricken spot on with his timing. He'll live forever! Hilarious !!

[@captainh3831]

Two comic giants at the top of their games, and genius to put them in a scene together.

If I'm not mistaken Dangerfield discovered and promoted Sam. They were both great in any event.

[@NYdrone]

RIP to the both of them. Still making us laugh all these years later!

[@jimdruckenmiller4612]

This movie scene is pure Genius... the Writing, Kinison and Dangerfield, the pacing and the steady build up... It's just amazing. If there was ever a movie scene that I could have been an extra in... This would be the one I'd want to have.

[@dsnitris2007]

I didn't know who Sam Kinison was when I saw this at the theatre. Me and everyone else were gasping for air we were laughing so hard. Then a couple of years later I had a College instructor who had the same temperament who lost it one day in the middle of a class and went completely bananas on one guy. Now, whenever I flash back to that moment, I can't help but laugh and think about this scene.

[@katiemc66]

It doesn't matter how many times I see this movie. Every time this scene comes on I practically pee my pants from laughing so hard.

[@blader45bc]

The suppressed rage starting at 1:04 is beautiful

[@EnzoFuturistic]

god I love this scene so much. "good answer, good answer. I like the way you think....I'm gonna be watching you". That kills me, hahaha!

[@MikeyMoves2]

One of the funniest movie scenes ever.

[@misterysylver]

one of the greatest comedy scenes in movie history

[@OscarDeltaSierra]

Once I finish my 20 years in my current dual military and law enforcement jobs, and qualify for my pensions in my mid-50s, I’m seriously hoping to start a second career as a history teacher. I only hope when that day comes I can care as deeply and teach as passionately as this fine professor.

[@1gunther1]

best line in the whole movie: good teacher, he seems to really care, about what I have no idea...classic!

[@mr.wizard2974]

Agree

[@Marebear2406]

I remember seeing this movie as a kid. This was the first time I ever saw Sam or Rodney in performance. I had never heard their stand up before this. This movie made me really enjoy seeing them in other movies and stand up they did. R.I.P. Sam and Rodney.

[@sum12see]

One of my favorites of all time!! Two comedy genius's!!!

[@KA-te7xk]

By far one the funniest & underrated scenes in a movie in the 80's !

How could it be underrated?? It's one of the best scenes in the movie !!

When Sam rips the desk off I think Rodney is cracking up but you can't see his face😂

I had a professor just like this. He was my all time favorite teacher!

I had Political Science professor in college like this. His voice would change whenever he said “communism” or “military industrial complex”. Made the class a lot of fun.

[@2taggs2]

Probably one of the most memorable/funniest comedic cameos of any movie to date.

[@cherylroberts8022]

Love the losing-it and then tearing-out-the-chair moment. Classic

[@Gardeninggirl1107]

I watch this movie at least once a month, one of my favorites of all time. Sam Kinison was unique and cracks me up each time I see this. When he's screaming at Rodney, watch how Rodney couldn't contain his laughter, just awesome. This movie was also one of Sally Kellerman's best performances, the way she walked into Thorton's party, trying to act cool lol!

[@garyjackson3531]

She was good in the movie M*A*S*H as well.

[@grahamm390]

that line always kills me

[@alvexok5523]

I love this line also, "These kids were only in grade school at the time, and as for me, I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover" Rodney has a similar related line later at the bar to that one provoking guy "Oh, I don't get physical, I just get upset. When I get upset..(points to Lou) he gets physical

[@andrewdzurisin6214]

As a college professor myself all these guys are gone. It’s really sad.

[@acer3573]

I was 12 when I saw this in the theater, found and bought Kinison's album a week later My best friend and I laughed until our sides hurt..

[@ered203]

@TheHound I saw him live 4 times when he was working this bit before it came out on the album. He would live call from someone in the audience. If it was scripted, they did an excellent fucking job of it. Every time I saw it, it turned out completely different and funny as hell. One of the girls snarked back. Sam called her and said, "Hey, I'm sitting here with Jared and about 5000 of his friends (or whomever, I don't remember his name)..." and she immediately cut in with "Tell Jared to fuck himself" and hung up. It was funnier than all the rest. I can't say or not whether or not they planned it, but the look on Sam's face was great. He dropped the act, looked down at Jared (??) calmly said, "I think you're really just better off without this one, brother," and then gave that evil little giggle he had. We fell out.

[@JGraham415]

@@ered203 I had gotten free tix from Sam's entourage to a show and we were right in front. He asked me who broke my heart and my first thought was "Holy shit, he's going to call her". Fortunately he only said she was a "FUCKING BITCH!" and then called the ex of the next guy he asked 😆

"How come we didn't cross the 38th parallel, and send those rice eaters back to the Great wall of China, and take it apart brick by brick (rips chair) and nuke them back to the f***ing Stone Age forever, how come!!? Say it!! Say iit!!" It's funny how in both of his outbursts he mentions rice patties or rice eaters, something about war in Asia set him off like dynamite. It wasn't nessesarily because he was a traumatized vet because he got just as set off talking about the Korean War as he did Vietnam. He said he was in Vietnam, but he looked too young to be a veteran of the Korean War also

[@tubespirit7]

How could anyone, ever, anywhere, anytime, be better than Sam Kinison? Sam took the raw pain of his failed women times and made comedic genius out of it. It can't be replicated, much less replaced.

[@CRFlixs]

Fun fact, Sam was a preacher before he became a comic. When he does his yelling, that's an old preacher trick where he doesn't actually yell, he modulates his voice higher and pushes a button on the mic to amplify his voice. It's to save his voice giving multiple sermons on a daily basis.

honestly dude, rewatch this scene and if you're familiar with the fundamentalist or Pentecostal scene, his mannerisms are super familiar to those of us who sat under such preaching. (Especially watch how he leans forward and uses hand gestures when talking to Rodney Dangerfield.) Even the voice inflections remind me of some preachers.

@@ConcernedResident_GiantStack Oh yes, I can definitely see him as an evangelical preacher. That is exactly where he got his style from.
