How could one man come up with so many funny lines? Brilliant!

Totally agree! He was a comedic genius for sure!

"It ain't a fit night out for man or beast."

[@zurogato]

That's a classic quote! "It ain't a fit night out for man or beast" is from W.C. Fields' film "The Fatal Glass of Beer" (1933). Thanks for sharing it with us. W.C. Fields had a knack for memorable lines like that. If you have any more favorites or trivia to share, feel free to do so! 😊👍

@@zurogato I really enjoyed that he NEVER flinched when the "snow" "blew" into his face. But at the end when no snow, THEN he flinched!🤣

[@zurogato]

@@musicloverme-hj2sr Thanks for pointing that out! That moment sounds like a real gem of humor. W.C. Fields was truly a legend in comedy! 😊

[@kevinshelly6853]

In 1940 there was a movie called "My Little Chickadee" with W.C. Fields and Mae West I havent seen it but with those two in it there would be some good one lines there.

[@zurogato]

Thanks for the suggestion! "My Little Chickadee" is indeed a classic with W.C. Fields and Mae West, and their witty banter surely resulted in some memorable one-liners. While we can't guarantee a quotes compilation for that film at the moment, we appreciate your input and will keep it in mind for future content ideas. If you have any specific favorites you'd like to see featured from other films, feel free to share! 😊

"Make him drag ya, lady, he got ya drunk!"

[@zurogato]

Thanks for sharing that line-it definitely has W.C. Fields’ vibe! It’s not one of his quotes, but it’s a fun one. If you enjoy this kind of humor, make sure to subscribe for more compilations!

[@37Dionysos]

@@zurogato Fields says the line (a rough cliche at the time) to a passing couple as he works at a circus ticket window: I saw it but don't remember which film. Most of his dialogues were in his own unique idiom---"or we wouldn't be remembering him today" (as a Fields film crewman said it).

[@zurogato]

@37Dionysos Ah, you’re absolutely right! That line is from The Bank Dick. Fields’ unique delivery and humor definitely set him apart. Thanks for the great insight-I’ll be sure to dig deeper into his films for future compilations!

[@marklivingstone3710]

A story I heard about W.C. Fields, he was an atheist all his life, he was terminally ill in hospital, a friend called by to see him and found him in bed reading a Bible. He asked him what he was doing, he smiled and said ‘Looking for loopholes’.😂

[@zurogato]

Thanks for sharing that story! It perfectly captures W.C. Fields' unique sense of humor. His wit truly was one of a kind. If you have any other anecdotes or favorite quotes, feel free to share them. 😊

This story comes from the book written by his mistress, I read it over 40 years ago and can't remember its title. Fields, and his entourage were on a road in Georgia driving to his next engagement. The car ran out of gas. The driver told Fields they passed a gas station about a mile back. The driver walks and gets gas and comes back taking about 45 minutes. Not wanting to run out of gas again, Field's has the driver take them to the gas station. Now the owner was an elderly man who did things according to his time schedule. By the time he filled up the gas tank, took a couple of phone calls, checked the tires and under the hood, about 40 minutes elapsed. This drove Fields nuts, and his temper was rising. Finally, they were on their way, passed where they had run out of gas, took the curve in the road about 200 yards ahead, and saw a brightly lit, up to date modern gas station. Fields almost had a stroke.

[@zurogato]

I heard, while Fields was in his last hours, the attending physician asked his daughter if it was true when Fields admitted to drinking a bottle of gin every day, Fields daughter replied, no Dr., that's a lie, he drank TWO.

[@zurogato]

Hi! Thanks for sharing that hilarious anecdote! W.C. Fields certainly had a legendary reputation when it came to his love of gin. His wit and humor live on through stories like these. Cheers! 🍸

[@stephenschroeder6567]

I heard a recording of Groucho Marx on the Dick Cavet show (early 60sish) and he told a story of being invited to Field's home. During the tour inside, he said that Bill took him up into the attic and he saw nearly endless crates of whiskey - he estimated over $50K worth of the stuff (In 1930s/40s money - so a fortune today). Amazed, Groucho said: _"Bill! What are you doing with all this whiskey. Prohibition ended years ago."_ Groucho said Bill replied: _"It could come back."_

[@zurogato]

Thanks for sharing that story! An attic full of whiskey must have been quite a sight. Fields certainly had a way of thinking ahead (and keeping his priorities straight). Appreciate you adding this gem to the conversation!

[@stephenschroeder6567]

@@zurogato You are most welcome. Fields has been a life-long fascination for me. During the 70s, he had a large resurgence in interest and me, being a preteen, ate the stuff up. I have several Fields themed board and card games, posters, T shirts, etc. And lots of people are not aware of his juggling skills. I have seen early, early movies and I would certainly classify him as one of the all-time greats!

[@barryergang2043]

Allegedly, someone asked him if he ever drank water and Fields replied, "Never touch the stuff. Fish f**k in it, y'know."

[@zurogato]

Haha! That's one of W.C. Fields' most famous lines. His wit was truly unmatched! 😄

[@kiwitrainguy]

Woman: Do you like children? W C Fields: I do if they're properly cooked. I'm about as busy as a pickpocket in a nudist colony. I once read in a book about the evils of strong drink. It made me want to give up reading. It was a woman that drove me to drink and I never had the decency to write her and thank her. Someone's taken the cork out of my breakfast! Woman: And your breath smells of cheap liquor! W.C.Fields: CHEAP? It cost four dollars a gallon! When he was dying in the hospital reading the bible a friend said "Bill you never read the bible, why now?" He responded "I'm looking for loopholes". Contrary to popular belief Gods last name is not "damn it". "Is this a game of chance?" "Not the way I play it, no." Ah yes, Drink...one of the greatest pleasures in life. I bought a wonderful club in Toronto, yeah, a Canadian Club. The Duchess and I sat up 'til 4 o'clock, and drank 3 quarts of rye. Why do you drink so much? Because I like it.
