How Does A Bagpipe Work? A bagpipe is a means of performing the saxophonist trick of circular breathing (inhaling through the nose while blowing air out the mouth into the instrument to produce a continuous sound) without having to spend years learning how to make one diaphragm both exhale and inhale simultaneously. You blow air into the bag and squeeze the bag to push its air through the pipes. The bag acts like an external lung. It allows you to make continuous sound as long as you can keep the bag inflated. Three of the pipes are just drones, producing a continuous tone in a preset register, while the fourth is fed through a tube with tone holes like a recorder flute so that the piper may play tunes by manipulating the holes. The one thing you can never play on a bagpipe, is quietly. The instrument is designed as a battlefield signalling device capable of being heard for miles, for letting the troops know what action their commander wants them to perform. (Attack, retreat, charge, converge, etc.) Rather like a bugle, but somewhat more versatile.

[@awkwardashleigh]

That whole scene is just ridiculously hilarious.

[@TheManInTheLongBlackCoat]

Fun fact: while shooting scenes in the butcher shop, Nancy Travis was distracted by Mike Myers's antics and accidentally cut off the tip of her middle finger on her left hand when chopping vegetables with a kitchen knife. Nancy started shouting "Cut! Cut! Cut!" which she meant literally, although the crew initially thought she was referring to the term for stopping the shooting of a scene. A local doctor sewed it back on. A little later, when Harriet takes the wedding rings out of the talcum powder, you can see a bandage on the middle finger of her left hand. This was the same finger that she had cut during the butcher shop scene while being distracted due to her laughing. Continuity!

Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish cooked inside of a sheep's stomach. Starskey and Hutch was a 1970's tv show about a couple of buddy cops. Was remade as a movie in the early 2000's.

[@douglascampbell9809]

Traditional Haggis is also illegal in the United States. In 1971 it became illegal to import haggis into the US from the UK due to a ban on food containing sheep lung, which constitutes 10-15% of the traditional recipe. The ban encompasses all lungs.

3:45 Haggis, the national dish of Scotland, is a type of pudding composed of the liver, heart, and lungs of a sheep, minced and mixed with beef or mutton suet and oatmeal and seasoned with onion, cayenne pepper, and other spices. The mixture is packed into a sheep's stomach and boiled. It's Groundskeeper Willie's favorite food!

[@PB-tr5ze]

Lol years ago I went to a haunted house with a bunch of friends, one room was set up to look like a butcher shop but covered in body parts. One of my buddies casually walks up to the counter where the "butcher" was chopping up a "body" and asks, "can I get a haggis?" Without missing a beat, the butcher looked up with a disgusted look and said "ewwww, no!" I couldn't stop laughing through the rest if the haunted house.

The plot of this movie is basically an inversion of the film Suspicion (1941). And that actress who was in Pulp Fiction is Amanda Plummer.

When I watched this, the first time he performed his poem, I thought, "This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen." But as the movie continued, I started enjoying the poem more and more. By the end of the movie, I wanted to find a beatnik pub where I could perform my own version of it.

[@adgato75]

Woman ! Whoa man ! I felt the same way eventually. lol. And "This poem .... sucks."

[@luludee1300]

hahaha I love the poems!😂 Woman! Woah, man. Wooooaaahhh man. She was a thief! You gotta be-lief! She stole my heart and my cat! Harriet! Harry-it. Hard-hearted harbinger of haggis. Beautiful. Bemus-ed. Belacose butcher. UN-trust-ING. UN-know-ING. UN-love...ed?

the living room scene is still hilarious today. "HEAD! MOVE!"

[@dawdlerific7071]

We watched this movie on a school bus trip. I've only seen it the one time but the line "she stole my heart and my cat" has stayed with me ever since.

Looking at Nancy Travis's filmography, her first two films were Three Men and a Baby and Married to the Mob. Those were both super fun movies and I bet they'd hold up well. Also, fun fact, she is married to the founder and CEO of the Hallmark Channel.

This was always a cute movie and a lot of fun. One I would like to recommend to you is "Quick Change" a semi-forgotten classic, starring the great Bill Murray (I know you're a fan) and the amazing Geena Davis. A movie that is actually a brilliant idea for a bank heist and a laugh out loud comedy.

That "kimono-like" dress you mentioned is called a Cheongsam or Qipao dress and is of Manchurian origin. The Kimono is something totally different . There are several versions of it in Oriental and Southeast Asian countries and it goes by several other names, but I've always found it a very attractive look.

[@awkwardashleigh]

Oh!! I don't know much about Oriental or Asian culture but that was a stunning dress!

[@adgato75]

@@awkwardashleigh Yes , they are gorgeous. Kimonos are Japanese rather than Chinese and look ( basically ) more like a robe than a dress , per se.

[@ThreadBomb]

@@adgato75 Also, kimonos have big sleeves and are worn with a sash of contrasting color around the waist.

Yes, a kimono is more like a robe with a large belt. I got to wear one for an afternoon in Kyoto.

I just re-watched 'High Anxiety' the Mel Brooks homage to Alfred Hitchcock. It was the first Mel Brooks movie I ever saw and it is very different from the others as its all done in Hitchcockian style. I really think you will LOVE the character Madeline Kahn plays in it as it is completely different from everything you have seen her do before. I can't recommend it enough, and it's Mel Brooks!

[@McBeelzebub]

I think the movie does a great job of combining a coherent story interspersed with a collection of unrelated side skits that somehow lend to the pacing instead of disrupting it. Like, Wayne’s World is fun, but it’s virtually all individual skits with only the thinnest semblance of a story at all.

[@dasta7658]

I love this movie, there is so much humour in it! As a teenager I was in tears with the wedding scene with the Dad singing Rod Stewart. I ended up on the floor uncontrollably laughing with "we have a piper down, we have a piper down"! Years later watching Black Hawk Down I started laughing when they said "we have Black Hawk down, we have a Black Hawk down" because of that wedding scene.

[@kemmdog4444]

The pilot was played by comedian Steven Wright.He’s and very funny and has a very unique stand up routine.

[@AsmrAmurana]

I absolutely adore Steven Wright's stand up. His delivery absolutely kills it!

The "hotel" is Dunsmiere house. It's appeared in many movies, most noteably as Morningside Mortuary in the horror movie PHANTASM.

[@michaelvalenzuela2528]

[@xerex21212]

Wow I forget how representative of the 90's/Gen X this movie was. From the humor , to soundtrack, to the cameos. This is a perfect representation of the early 90s

The sister was played by Amanda Plummer who was also in Pulp Fiction. The tour guide on Alcatraz was played by the late Phil Hartman (voice of Troy McClure on the Simpsons).

Chris, you are an absolute legend for recommending this film, one of my favorites of all time, it's got so many great quotable lines! I feel it's highly under appreciated, and IMO one of Mike Myers best films.

[@sebastianemond5313]

4:10 - 4:13 It was only after rewatching this movie again that I got the premise of the Netflix show, The Pentaverate. Like, "Oh, right, that throw-away conspiracy. I remember now." It's funny you mentioned Shrek, 'cause I thought it was great when that Shrek mascot came onto that show and took out an actual ogre.

[@boli2746]

Wow... I love this movie, never thought I'd see it on this channel. *sits back, gets popcorn, and adds an instant like*

[@philipsmith8644]

So quotable. I hadn't sent this is well over a decade and I was shocked at how many fun lines I remembered 😁

[@UltimateThanos]

Haggis is a type of pudding that's made from diced vegetables, mutton, various spices and chutney sauce. The pudding is stuffed inside of a sheep's stomach which is then either boiled or steamed for like 17 1/2 hours.

Nancy Travis was exquisite as Harriet Michaels. My favorite role ever. Check out some of her other work like "Three Men and a Little Lady", "Greedy", "Passed Away" and "Fluke"(it's about a dog who inhabits the spirit of a kid's father who recently passed away)

[@i_think_i_am_lost]

"The Legend of 1900" (1998) is an interesting movie if you have the chance to get to it. Though it is almost 3 hrs long so you would definitely have to set aside time for it. Its dramatic, heartwarming, and as in the title is suggesting is like you're learning about an urban legend. It up to the audience to decide if it's real or just a legend.

[@paulmcateer1595]

Yes! Legend of 1900 is a fantastic film!!

[@LibraKing3121]

I LOVE that movie!! Tim Roth (another Pulp Fiction connection) was amazing in it.

[@princess20-sideddie95]

Love this movie! The scene where... Spoilers for the film... he falls in love at first sight while playing the piano is some top notch acting. You can see the whole story just by watching his face. Tim Roth is a legend.

[@YouLousyKids]

Mike Myers debuted his Scottish accent in a 1989 SNL skit called "All Things Scottish" and it was hilarious. That went on to be Stewart in this movie, and Shrek, and Fat Bastard in Austin Powers (OH! You haven't seen that!). You haven't seen Wayne's World yet, either, even a year later as I write this. SO, so much to catch you up on. But so glad you loved this one.
