Gnarfle the Garthok

Arena scene from the movie Coneheads. Best stop motion animation I have ever seen. The kind you wouldn't expect in this kind of movie.

Beldar singing Tainted Love is one of the most underrated moments in an SNL movie. Anytime I hear that song, I think about this movie

[@sideshowbob]

The head cone's face when he sings "eh eh" at 2:27 is Priceless!! Just today (12/29/23) I was in the grocery store & this song came on, & I flashed back to this scene, & started singing along Boisterously. Most folks just looked at me sideways & moved away, but the 2 older blue collar Schmoe's stocking the meat section said "Gnarfle the Garthock" & I gave them both Knowing fist bumps. Ahhhh, sofaking much more fun than Boring holiday family gatherings or x-mas music in the store!!!!!

Imo,, Dan Akroyd is easily one of the top ten most underrated comedians of all time..

[@JarrodFrates]

I think it's because he doesn't usually do well in a leading role. He excels at ensembles (see Ghostbusters, Sneakers) or co-leads (e.g., Blues Brothers, Spies Like Us) or as a supporting actor where he has other highly skilled performers to bounce things off of, but when he has to hold the screen more or less on his own (Dr. Detroit, numerous supporting roles where he's the focus of a few scenes), he's not as solid.

His brother in law sent him to earth to scout for possible conquest, specifically told him several times to cloak once in the planet’s atmosphere, and Beldar still managed to screw that up and cost them a starship.
