Siskel and Ebert Outtakes Rant 2 - McDonald's

Watch as Siskel mercilessly mocks Ebert's weight! "He's the only guy to ever answer yes to every question he's asked at McDonald's"

[@tdivad]

I love how Gene can laugh at himself just as much as he dished it out at Roger. I miss those guys.

[@Anarchist86ed]

Noone can deny they had a chemistry that has never been matched.

[@TheConciseStatement]

I love how Ebert starts REVIEWING Siskel's insults.

[@lionelraoul]

Brilliant.

[@BooNube]

Anyone who looks at this and doesn't see two guys who loved the hell out of each other just doesn't get guys.

[@bloboshitful]

Ebert fanboys are complete losers who make him seem like Miss America. Any bullshit ( Hollywood escapism from sad reality) turns them on

@MotherofGodandSatan You're a turd. You know when things don't go well for you, remember it's because you're such a scumbag douche.

@MotherofGodandSatan He quit drinking in 1979, asshole.

@MotherofGodandSatan you seem to be a generally unpleasant person, that is all.

@MotherofGodandSatan You are right. He was a mutant before cancer

[@awr2217]

So bitter sweet to watch these men. When I was a teenager in Detroit, Michigan back in the seventies every Saturday I couldn't wait to watch them on Sneak Previews. They taught me the beauty and essence of film and acting. And they're one of the best comedy teams ever. Thank you Gene. Thank you Roger.

[@GP1138]

No matter how many times I see this, ".... the following" never fails to slay me.

Ebert took his last drink in the late 60s, decades before their TV show.

[@bloboshitful]

@@DLSacks it is drunk here

[@kellygreen5556]

@@bloboshitful I get it now. Although Ebert looked like hell before and after cancer...although he was a total failure at writing screenplays and produced garbage demeaning to women......"he" chatted about which movie these boys should see. That makes him "way cool" and immortal in their little boy eyes. they are ignorant of Ebert's history. The fantasy world of Hollywood fills their lonely nights. Ebert is gone and forgotten. I am here to howl at these freaks who admire his sweater vests and giant glasses. It is the only date they will ever have!

[@boledle]

What a wonderful, rare working relationship these two had. And hearing Siskel F-bomb ... priceless

[@wasteland70]

I love how they are able to laugh at themselves. It's hysterical. You would think they'd be snobs, but they laugh at their own flawes. Love it. (Like I said before, I watch this a few times a day!)

"Do you want cheese with your cheeseburger?" "Yes."

Ebert always said he was in a marriage with Siskel and they turned out to be best friends and brothers for decades. One of the Ebert's last interview through a voicebox he said "I miss the hell out of that guy"....

[@Fgermay]

Mr. Ebert, you are an inspiration, a hero, and my role model. But I refuse to type that you "were" an inspiration. My brain can't handle that sort of grief just yet.

[@emaresea]

RIP Siskel & Ebert.

[@wavyg_1]

This is great. They had great banter on and off screen. It was like they hated each other, but at the same time, they almost loved each other. Like a great comic duo, they took incredibly daring and nasty shots at each other, but could always laugh about it, and in the end it always worked.

[@malevolentgaze9391]

“Salad cherry pie and a coke, on the burger” That killed me lmao

I miss these guys! This is a funny clip but it’s also sad because in retrospect, I wonder if his speech issues were early warning signs of his illness. But it’s best to look back at the good times and laugh at how these two could enjoy some bantering with each other.

[@daviddufresne343]

RoboCop came out in 1987. He was diagnosed with brain cancer in 1998. Hopefully he wasn't suffering from the effects that early on.

[@kevinhoffman8112]

Gene Siskel had a speech impediment from birth. Look at some of their movie reviews from the seventies and he still talked that way.

[@Musiclover19]

I’m pretty sure he had a few drinks while filming. Really don’t think it has anything to do with his illness that he wasn’t diagnosed with until about ten years later.

[@wesj1989]

I LOVE that Gene Siskel can laugh at himself!!

[@JamesBaldwinIsGod]

So hilarious and beautiful. The two of them were so magical together, it almost didn't seem real, too good to be true. It killed me to see Siskel cough like that, because somehow of knowing what was gonna happen so many years later. His death still makes me wanna cry to this day.

[@jameshaury2716]

oh my, was all the tv I watched this low in resolution.

[@mikeclements4402]

Man you can already tell from just the show but Roger is a funny ass dude!

[@waynefoolx]

everyone talks about how they hated each other. seems to me they clearly liked each other so much that they felt comfortable joking around.

[@DS8379]

The Chicago Boyz ❤️ miss them so much!

[@foodlovingpig]

Siskel seems to take the insults so much better. He laughs at all of them. Ebert just looks pissed every time he's bad mouthed.

[@Derby14]

"Pounder Quarter" and "Shake Milk"...now that's funny!

[@curleed85]

In later years, Ebert probably would have said “Yes” to, “Would you like to super-size that?”

[@BarrelShape]

"They ask Roger do you want cheese with your cheeseburger, he says 'yes'" lol!

[@bigpunholla]

That was fantastic! "I'll have the following and another thing!" hahaha

[@jonahanthony266]

1:06 You can tell at that point that Roger is thinking "ok Gene, that's enough."

[@alexthompson9516]

Roger's jokes were brilliant because he was mocking every detail of Gene. Gene was just mocking Roger's weight.

[@greg55666]

This was really great. Two people laughing at the other's insults of them.

[@theowlreviewerofficial]

How awesome and hilarious would it be to see a movie just with these two talking about movies and having conversations about anything. Just mix in the scenarios and style of the writing from something like Fargo, Pulp Fiction and the realistic dialogue from the Before Trilogy and My Dinner with Andre

[@noisepuppet]

Ironically, Gene's screen presence was the more polished of the two, I always thought. And here he is getting dragged for flubbing lines. 😂 I never regarded these two as the pinnacle of critical acumen or whatever, very middlebrow, but they were good journalists and excellent TV presenters, and as a duo, they were unrivaled at this popular-level movie review TV thing. They were household names for a reason, and none of Gene's successors could ever quite fill his shoes, in my opinion.

[@gamer46ful]

LMFAO!! I can't believe what I'm hearing, it's awesome!

[@swededen8314]

This is probably one of the greatest things I've seen in the last 10 years

[@BelatedCommiseration]

I wish there was more out takes like this with Siskle and Ebert just ripping into each other...they obviously both find it hilarious and they obviously got on together quite well to be able to dish it out like that....

[@thereefshark]

They may go back and forth a lot, but it's obvious this is more friends messing with each opposed to cruelty; otherwise both of them wouldn't be laughing their asses off. Plus Ebert talks about Siskel a lot in his blog even though he's been dead all these years.

[@larrylollis5875]

R.I.P Gene and Roger

[@ranickhaan]

Interactions like this can’t take place anymore, at least not without someone crying to HR.

[@mannygee005]

They were both laughing the entire time on this one. It looks like this is what they do to kill time between camera takes. Also it keeps their rivalry sharp for the show. Probably like a warm up routine. Want to see more.

I knew they fought alot but I had no idea to what extent thisis HILARIOUS!! they are so sarcastic and brutal its great
