Can we have a Steve Martin appreciation thread? He's one

>>80043049
What is his funniest joke?

>>80043065
Shut up, Norm.

Crinkled cigarettes

Cuz I DONT GIVE A FUCK

I was in a local healthy/expensive type supermarket here in Kalamazoo, Michigan (we have a lot of those) and I'm in line to buy some ham at the deli there. The lady asked me what kind, and I said "I have no fucking idea what different kinds of ham there are lady" ENTIRELY to loudly and the guy behind me in line I hadn't noticed burst the hell up laughing.

I turn around. Steve Martin.

He kinda half leans around me and says "Honey glazed!" to the lady over the counter and I just kinda stare at him for a sec then smile and say thanks. I'm about to pay for it and he says "No way this one's on me" and pays the check for it right there. I was astounded, it was so awesome that I did the only thing I could think of ... The Three Amigos salute. Once again he cracks up and asked me if I had any idea how long it had been since someone did that. I said "a year?" he said "try ten".

We ended up having coffee at a place across the street. Turns out he bought a house in Kalamazoo, in a really expensive residential area, and has been living there a while. We talked about everything that wasn't his career for about 45 minutes before he had to take off because his deli stuff was gonna go bad. I shook his hand and said he made my year today. He smiled and beat my head in with a tire iron. I looked up from the floor, my eyes covered in my own blood as I made out a blurry image of an anvil being hoisted above his head. Through the ringing in my ears I couldn't hear his probably witty parting line before the anvil came crashing down, ending my life.

Could you provide a transcript? I do not have the bandwidth to view a video.

>>80043218
I love this guy.

>>80043143
That was awful. Probably be better without video.

>>80043143
the bit about wearing men's underwear is a good one too

>>80043143
>a minute straight
>lol stereo, yeah so like stereo, lol i got this stereo, nah let me start over, yeah this stereo, lol stereo, lol, stereo, lol yeah stereo

I will never EVER get standup comedy.
Fuck that stupid shit, waste of fucking time.

>>80043049
When I was 12 I went to see Bowfinger in the theatre. I liked it very much and it was my fav movie with Naked Gun for a long time.

>>80043351
It's all about the mood he gets you in. It would be funnier if you had been there the whole show.

>>80043449
idk, seems like something a cult member would say

maybe you just bought into the bullshit? idk

This film is overlooked and shouldn't be.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is the GOAT holiday comedy.

DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS IS HIS ONLY FUNNY MOVIE

>>80043534
Best John Hughes movie hands down in my opinion.

>>80043564
The Jerk
Man with Two Brains
Plains Trains
Parenthood....
Face it he was good.

>>80043534
I like me!

>>80043647
>Face it he was good
His thread can't even get to bump limit

Only liked The Jerk. his family friendly shit was crap.

>>80043096
I busted in here to post this, glad to see some of the old guard remains.

>>80043836
That's not a thing. Batman VS Superman reaches bump limit a million times and it's dogshit.

>>80043049
If you don't understand Pennies From Heaven then you don't truly get him.

>>80044119
That's your opinion, not empirical evidence of popularity like attaining bump limit

>>80044150
It's my opinion and it's also correct.

>>80043477
Have you ever been involved in any sort of humorous conversation before?

Sometimes things are only funny in the context of situations. It's why people who have been cracking jokes all night can end up splitting a gut over something trivial.

Part of stand up is getting your audience to respond to that. To make an entire room of people laugh is a lot harder than being a neet contrarian on /tv/.

>>80044178
bump limit data says otherwise

>>80044216
Post his best joke (in text form) or leave.

>>80043096

I chuckled

>>80044074
i never cared for the father of the bride and parenthood movies.

>>80044246
not an argument

Steve is a smug cunt that was never actually funny. He was just great at convincing people on cocaine that he was funny.

>>80044331
It was a request. I'd like to analyse his best joke. Then the argument would come.

Are you simple?

>>80044074
His 70s and 80s stuff is good but the newer films are really watered down garbage.

>>80044246
Literally autism.
An inability to understand humor.

>>80044358
not an argument

>>80044354
Wow, this explanation really makes sense.

>>80044358
When it comes to Steve Martin, it's not so much about individual jokes, it's just about him saying funny things.

O pointy birds, o pointy pointy.
Anoint my head, anointy-nointy.

>>80044422
Transcription?

When did posting links to videos become an acceptable form of rebuttal?

>>80044444
This thread still won't reach bump limit

“Ok, I don’t like to gear my material to the audience but I’d like to make an exception because I was told that there is a convention of plumbers in San Francisco this week – I understand about 30 of them came down to the show tonight – so before I came out I worked-up a joke especially for the plumbers. Those of you who aren’t plumbers probably won’t get this and won’t think it’s funny, but I think those of you who are plumbers will really enjoy this…

“This lawn supervisor was out on a sprinkler maintenance job and he started working on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7″ gangly wrench. Just then, this little apprentice leaned over and said, “You can’t work on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7″ wrench.” Well this infuriated the supervisor, so he went and got Volume 14 of the Kinsley manual, and he reads to him and says, “The Langstrom 7″ wrench can be used with the Findlay sprocket.” Just then, the little apprentice leaned over and said, “It says sprocket not socket!”

“Were these plumbers supposed to be here this show…?”

>>80044679
That's really, really funny.

>>80044679

>>80044705
>not having bandwidth for video is mental illness
Freudian projection, autistic friendo.

>>80044679
Classic plumber humor

>>80044758
A lot of the comedy is from his acting and voice. You're really missing out on what makes him funny if you expect all his jokes transcribed.

>>80044758
Wait, you really don't have bandwidth for YouTube videos? Kek what fucking third world shithole do you live in?

>>80044758
He has AOL 56K with SpeedBooster™

Really makes you think

Dr. Guapo, I'm Lucky Day

The Jerk is so great. At first I was like "not that funny, Steve is an idiot black man and he has a dog named Shithead" but then the movie hit the gear. Even Shithead grew on me.

I recommend Bowfinger as a light saturday afternoon funny bit. Martin and Murphy are playing it pretty kid friendly but it's fun. I kinda get Last Action Hero vibed from Bowfinger that most people are just too fucking stupid to understand kino.

Am I the only one who has seen LA Story? One of my all time favorites.
