The other day, I decided to make a video of my cat, Mr. Whiskers, attempting to catch a laser pointer. I set up my phone, started recording, and within seconds, he was zooming around the living room like his tail was on fire. Just as I laughed at his clumsy attempts, he took a flying leap and landed right into my pile of freshly folded laundry, sending clothes flying everywhere. The video became an epic montage of furry chaos as he tumbled amidst socks and t-shirts, confused but fully committed to finding that elusive red dot.
What makes it my new favorite blooper is that the moment went from “graceful feline hunter” to “slapstick comedy routine” in just a heartbeat. Watching Mr. Whiskers flail in my laundry basket like a cartoon character struggling in quicksand had me in stitches. It reminded me that even the most regal of creatures can have a completely uncoordinated day—especially when there’s a laser pointer involved. Who knew my laundry could turn into a playground for a clumsy kitty? Now that’s a blooper worth sharing!
N
The fact that it’s one of the most tense moments in the series makes it so funny, from all the moments it had to be this one
C
And just to show how great their acting skills are, you can still feel the tension through this.
G
Kinda wish it closed the second time cause man the try again felt fucking threatening.
G
That’s what I’m saying lol, The tension didn’t break until Dean Norris collapses from comedic overload; Bro held that mean mug until his body gave out lol.
C
Brian Cranston probably stuck out his tongue a microscopic amount that only Dean Norris could notice.
C
Gave him the ol’ lizard-flick from behind the teeth
N
Just goes to show how professional he and Cranston are. You never know if the director, writer, or editor decides that something unplanned improves the work in some way, so you work through it as best you can.
G
Also the editor could have easily cut the failed attempts out, so that when the door finally went down it would have looked like it was on the first attempt. Them staying in character would have allowed the scene to progress as usual.
N
It’s called saving a scene and it’s one of the key skills of acting.
P
You could tell they were both trying to find somewhere to go with it.
R
Not to mention them both knowing it and staying in character, just rolling with it trusting something magical might happen in the scene.
C
It would change the scene too much in the other direction. Hank closing the door is holding the power finally. Telling Walt that he is locked in there with him. The other way it’s Walt telling Hank he’s got the power. It’s better the original way.
Z
Yeah, no, the tension kinda relieved itself somewhere between the first fail and the « try it again »
C
Well I still think that whatever tension there was to hold, they did their best to hold on to it.
M
Yeah, they could have probably made it work with editing,bbut after the second time the scene is pretty much shot.
A
I absolutely think it could have worked after the first fail if they both rolled with it. The original scene, Hank closing the garage door is taking some of the control in the dynamic of the conversation: Hank is the one making it a private conversation that no one’s running away from easily. If this scene had been able to play out with the door failing once, then the “try it again” makes the power dynamic shift back towards Walt; now he’s made it clear that he’s _happy_ for Hank to shut the garage door.
F
I am the one. Who. Closes.
Z
Walt grabbing the remote and closing the door would have been perfect
H
yeah theres the tension and they do hold it but theres the goofiness factor from the garage failing and eventually that outweighs the tension and the whole thing pops into absurdist.
S
> releaved itself Make like a tree and get outta here!
F
I was wondering for more than half of it why I don’t remember this scene like this
V
Exactly, the funniness comes from it hitting right in the middle of the most tense moment. Perfect timing chaos.
B
clanker
L
It is funny because of the visuals. It was a tactical trap of what was intended versus what transpired. It is not just visually funny, it is unintentional and that is what defines humor. Semicolon. Em dash. :emoji:
R
Ya… woulda been a good move if seasoned cop Hank deflected or de escalated with a ” whattaya talking about Walt just use your big brain and help fix my damn door”
W
Trying so hard to stay in character lol
P
One of my favorite Bryan Cranston quotes was in reference to playing Hal in “Malcom in the Middle.” “You have to act like what you are doing is completely normal and serious. If you try to act like what you are doing is supposed to be funny, you lose the audience.” or something along those lines. Cranston is definitely a professional.
U
That’s why The Naked Gun was named the best comedy of all time. Nielson played the whole movie serious, and that’s why it’s so good.
J
How did Nielsen know Sir Ian’s secret acting method before the interview where he revealed it?!
T
Shh, you fool! He whispered it for a reason, dash it all.
S
Like a blind man in an orgy, I was going to have to feel things out.
Y
Like a midget at a urinal, I’m going to have to be on my toes.
P
Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth!
S
You are aware I am not actually a Wizard
E
Check British crime-series “A Touch of Cloth” They are done in a simmilar style. (Not saying they are better or on the same level, the Police Squad, but simmilar in style).
D
“I want it on my table, Cloth!”
E
You can’t hang Cloth out to dry.
B
He was originally a ‘serious’ actor until he was cast in _Airplane!_. Supposedly he was cast specifically because he was known for serious roles, which makes it amusing that he’s remembered almost entirely for comedies.
B
Surely he can’t act serious?
B
He can act ‘serious’. And don’t call me Shirley.
A
That’s why Steve Martin failed as Clouseau because he wasn’t serious enough.
G
Wasn’t a funny script either
K
Surely you can’t be serious, it’s “Nielsen”.
A
I’m always serious and don’t call me Shirley….
S
>Nielson played the whole movie serious Are you trying to tell me that the police officers trying to stop the assassination of the queen is not serious work?!?
Z
What do you think about the new The Naked Gun?
T
It’s hilarious My favorite gag in the movie is in the beginning when Liam Neeson is on the scene of a car crash. He walks up to the car and is going to pull something out of the trunk. He puts a latex glove on one hand, wipes his nose with it, and pulls the piece of evidence out of the trunk with his ungloved hand. I was completely sold from that moment on.
S
I was sold in the opening when it’s played completely straight until the moment >!the robbers retrieve the item from the safety deposit box… and it’s the P.L.O.T. Device.!<
C
“Drunk, Frank?” “A little bit, just enough to wake me up”
O
Mine was the twist on the car going through the pane of glass carried by two guys, except it was a windshield and replaced the one he just smashed.
