"Why do I have to shuffle?" (Scene from "Finian's Rainbow")

[@maryoneill7512]

I was nine years old when this movie came out. My 16 year old aunt loved it so much, she dragged me to the theatre seven times. It's one of my all-time favorites. Before vhs, etc. when either one of us caught it on TV, we'd call saying "Doom and gloom, doooom and gloooom!"

[@1stshepherd]

All these years and still one of the all time funniest scenes ever 🤣😂

[@smotnick]

AND still sadly relevant.

[@toyman81]

@@smotnick Nah!!

[@maryoneill7512]

Agreed!

[@kerrlockhart]

I just love that Coppola knew to let this take run on and on. Whenever I've seen it, the audience laughs right into the next scene. Classic situation of a fool creating his own hell.

"Are you educated or something?" "Well, I'm working on my Master's." "Working on your Master's what?"

[@johnmolina3284]

Don't forget Drumpf likes the uneducated!

[@HolyKhaaaaan]

Howard: It's a college degree! The contempt in that statement is entirely deserved.

[@AngelCintiaRockgirl]

Love that one!! The best.

[@raerae3844]

The best scene in the movie. 🥛😂😂

[@timfontaine6561]

My mother made we watch this movie in 1968 or so........this scene made her laugh hysterically. Me too in 2020.

[@abigalebuss5277]

I have this movie. I agree. This is one of the best parts of this whole movie! This and Tommy Steele.

[@pizzedahff3127]

What if they're tall and tender? What if they're small and slender? Long as they got that gender... I SURRENDER!

[@chaazyasharal7037]

This scene had me crying! lol

[@DanYHKim2]

Holy crap! He almost invented "the moonwalk" right there!

[@GreatDayEveryone]

The actor playing Howard, Al Freeman Jr, played in a movie called The Dutchman, which I saw as a teenager. Profoundly affected my thinking on race in America. Absolutely an incredible work of art. 2 actors. A world of thought

[@holyspacemonkey]

Al Freeman Jr. played the hell outta this scene. Love it! 🤣

[@major600]

A shamefully underrated movie. It has lively songs, likable characters, and a pertinent theme of racial tolerance. Fred Astaire can't trip the light fantastic anymore. They should've made it ten years earlier, but then it wouldn't have had Petula Clark and Tommy Steele in it. The girl who played Susan the Silent went on to have a fabulous dancing career, btw.

[@khissmyputtytat]

Him kicking LMAO hilarious also

[@anthonygalliart1789]

If anyone ever tells you to hurry ... now you know what to do :-)

[@cdtted]

This may be the most screamingly funny scene in the history of the movies.

[@evedemian]

*Screamingly* funny! Can't appreciate how much unless you've seen the film.

[@smotnick]

And relevant.

[@MichelleJacobshistoryrepeating]

We need to resurrect this film right now.

[@smotnick]

Good score, too.

[@jamesmoyner7499]

Michelle Jacobs I watched the film today (St. Patrick’s Day 2019) and I was surprised to hear Keenan Wynn say “Bit@#” later on in the film. This is similar to hearing Paul Newman say “Fu@#” in “What A Way to Go!” towards the beginning of his segment!

[@WillScarlet16]

It was originally meant to be an animated movie. I wish someone would try that again.

[@artykohl1118]

I heard the sound of a high performance, light, airplane about to take off overhead, and then the sound was cut off amidst the conversation as they cut to another audio. I heard more in the background, after. They must have been near Hayward Field or something.

[@BoostedPastime]

This film, is a great American masterpiece! We need THIS now more than ever! I love this shit and I am afro american lol.

[@evedemian]

Too bad it was cut short. One of the funniest scenes ever filmed.

[@JjJj-ev8pe]

The fannies scene in movies history.

[@RonZanderful]

Too funny!

[@followthesun2115]

Classic scene!! LOL

[@Theresabrown1805]

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid and thought this scene was hilarious I couldn't stop laughing I thought the butler stole the scene and it his own. 😅😅😅😅

[@coolnegative]

So funny. It's great that a movie that came out when this did could make such a funny social commentary about race stereotypes.

[@evedemian]

Imagine how great you'll think it is, then, that the stage production came out in 1947.

[@smotnick]

wow!

[@smotnick]

Coolneg, and to think GWTW wasn't as frowned as it is today. Back in '68 it was still celulloid royalty.

[@Atreus21]

Goddamned hilarious.

[@elstarky3123]

I WAS CRYING OF LAUGHING AT THIS SCENE

[@pauldockree9915]

Finian's Rainbow or I am a "Dutchman"

[@d.m.collins1501]

This movie is rated G?

[@badlaamaurukehu]

GwtW is kinda outta company. Even Hattie McDaniel's clan and offsping thinks so. Don't be so easily fooled and bamboozled.
