I’m confused by his objective. How do you mean be a chicken? A layman can’t understand Shakespeare, follow? He tried. Maybe with enthusiasm? Guidance? Movement? Conviction? Admition? Repentance? Study? How does one become a chicken? He’s asking the impossible. He’s going to break. That’s the point. It’s the opportunity for psychological torture I know understand. That’s why his little brother stepped in. He didn’t want him completely shattered. “Can’t we film this and wrap it up!?” - his little brother shouted. Little did the man know, he was going to face the biggest chicken move of his life he’s ever seen, right to his face.

[@maikelnait4495]

[@kornythechicken]

This scene hit home for me. I make my living as a chicken in a similarly humiliating costume. The reason why I do this is not exactly the same scenario as in this scene, but it's also not entirely dissimilar, either. I'm forced to take pretty much any paying gig I can get, and there have actually been several occasions where I've been required to "BE a chicken" for the duration of an appearance. Not just pretending, but actually "being the bird," as demanded here. I once worked a fair where I had to be a chicken for twelve hours a day for two weeks straight. Either you snap like this guy did, or you give in and submit to the role. Once you actually "obtain the frequency of a chicken" believe it or not the humiliation actually fades away.

[@antommylim330]

[@rockefeller13]

Woah.... How does it feel at that point or you don't care

[@greenbrightly]

That’s interesting thanks for sharing it with us. Makes the scene have more meaning now.

[@kornythechicken]

@@rockefeller13 it's humiliating only until you "give in" and accept your form. Then you stop thinking too much and time passes differently, and humiliation doesn't occur to you. But you're kind of "locked in" at that point, and it can take a bit to mentally come back from that, but when you do, it actually feels deeply liberating.

[@djymbelpow]

the acting, the directing, the score, the editing, the sound mixing.the tension, the uncertainty.. this scene is a masterpiece... Thank you Guy..

[@AlCo-gj4vc]

I know a lot of people find this scene funny but I was horrified and thought it was the darkest scene in the show. There’s something very assault like here - the way he’s forced to eat the worm between the guy’s legs his head going up and down - I was very creeped out.

[@rimmaatoug372]

Please I want to know the music in this scene

[@shumailaamir3924]

Best scene in the whole series. Not lost on me that Tommy did a better chicken impression instantly when a gun is pointed right at him than Freddie had been attempting for ages lol. Also... "I just wanna see BEEEERD" was the most scouse thing I've ever heard!! Legend.

This is simultaneously the funniest and most cruel thing that I've ever seen put to screen. On the one hand I'm laughing so hard at Peter Serafinowicz psychologically torturing Freddy but at the same time I can't help but feel happy for Freddy when he shot a character that in my eyes, deserved more screen time. In Freddy's position, I think we all would have done the same...

[@Chambers36TheEnter]

Those are some really good noise cancelling head phones.

[@natalum]

I just finished watching this scene. As it was playing, all I kept thinking was 'Good, Freddy deserves this punishment'. Just in this 1st ep he has undermined and made a mess of everything. He is unapologetic about his poor decisions and actions. And isn't even grateful when Eddie bails him out and saves the estate. Now Eddie is gonna have to deal with a whole new mess. All because Freddy's little ego couldn't handle being rightfully humiliated. So yeah, the scene was disturbing and humiliating, it was suppose to be cause that is what Freddy should have felt. I hate selfish characters like Freddy the most, so people saying they feel sorry for him in this scene just baffles me.

[@ElPancracioPro]

He reminds me of cousing Roman from GTA IV

[@ElPancracioPro]

Roman didn't care being humiliated as long as he's safe tho

[@dolly_llamas_tea]

Yes this scene was way deeper than some people can pick up on. We all turn ourselves into something based on our frequency. It might not be a chicken, but definitely our energy can portray the bottom feeders of life. Look at what people turn into due to their frequency. Dang Guy Richie! This show is very spiritual.

[@sacha9646]

True but it also clearly shows what can happen when you push someone too far. The actors did a marvelous job in this scene. Well acted.

My living as a costumed chicken was designed to be the most humiliating occupation I could be given. This scene proves that it probably is, but thankfully I don't really feel it anymore.

[@kornythechicken]

@JohnCedar Thanks, and I agree with you on that. I always say, as absurd as I may be as a giant chicken, there's no way I can out-absurd what's going on in the world around me.

I binged watched the entire series in two days. I loved it. There were a couple of bizarre tangents in subsequent episodes but I assert the first episode was perfect. Perfect.

It's absolutely partly Edward's fault for not even considering that this might happen. I think most people in Freddy's shoes would have been driven to the same thing, especially considering the gun was RIGHT THERE offering him an easy way out of the situation.

I don't know why everyone found this scene funny. I think it was meant to be embarrising and I definitely felt it. It doesn't even try to be funny. At first it starts like a joke and Freddy doesn't take it seriously but the guy keeps ordering him and it gets super serious and awkward and embarrising. They specifically show how ashamed Freddy is. Who the fuck would laugh at that?

[@harleyb7880]

That's the point... To humiliate him

[@dolly_llamas_tea]

I never thought to laugh, it was hitting g me so hard in my soul, the not taking thing serious, the trying, the failure he feels, then he gives up and finally allows himself to just fall hard. He’s never been that low before, and I felt that.

This show gave off a similar type of anxiety inducing energy as the Adam Sandler movie Uncut Gems.

[@richardlewis9622]

“The remedy is in the poison “ Just purely watch. Then watch it again. As I see it, this was actually hard but necessary help for Freddy. Freddy behaved as a chicken in a human body up to this point. However, his misplaced pride and ego(the false self) bristled at the idea of acting like a chicken! Even Ms. Glass recognized this & told the Duke “Stay out of this.” This humiliation ritual was to force his false self to die in order to see the reality of his character and subsequent behavior as equal to that of an animal, particularly, a chicken! What a PROFOUND scene! A masterpiece from every part of this scene’s creation!

Based on this scene, this is probably what a Guy Ritchie directed Superman film wwould go (w Daniel Ings as Superman) Clark: "Why am I different from them, Dad?" Earth dad: "Because you're not a f***in chicken, Kal. You're meant to soar...like an eagle."
