- I think that is really hard to do....and funny!!
in this episode Alan Shore was diagnosed with Word Salad AKA Aphasia, that's why he's speaking gibberish and that's why he's speaking like this and her - Komedie
"To end the blue radish is the upside of luxury"
Word.
The best part is that he strings the nonsensical words perfectly well with perfect inflections as if he was talking normally.
It is cheese.
"Not the year sixty, when classic electrons are free!"
“To end the blue radish is the upside of luxury.”
Breathe and wind...
" It is cheese, breath, and wind." my new go to response to silly questions.
I think Sheogorath might have had something to do with this.
I don’t think anyone else could pull off this word salad quite like Spader.
Alan Shore define's flatulence. "It is cheese! Breath and wind! It is cheese!"
You need something to cut it with, though
Best comment ever!
The talent of James Spader is really on display here. Honestly, it's hard enough just to read nonsensical phrases like that, never mind to have to say them while acting.
"it is cheese."
great scene thx for uploading
To end the blue radish is the upside of luxury, and sparking a good lizard can only make tears fall in hindsight.
Ah yes I remember that Bob Dylan song
So true.
It looks like a dada poem.
To me this is just proof that Spader is a great actor. I'm a decent actor, but I would have died laughing half way through this
I laughed so hard when I first saw this. Totally brilliant.
The writers REALLY did a good job with that word salad.
I had to pause this episode for so long when I watched it, I was crying so hard I couldn’t see or hear 😂😂
I just want to point out his speech is about 20 seconds... it is what I say when I'm washing my hands.
“Objection!...I think...”
I'm pretty sure there were times when Marcia Clark wanted to say it that way.
It is cheese, breath and wind...it is cheese.
Love James Spader, he is so talented. An actor that can be serious, sexy and funny. Why was I born too late?
Anyway, love this clip...but especially James Spader.
Now I know what I want said at my eulogy.
Ha ha really?
SCP reference?
I died laughing around the point he said It is cheese.
This would be terrifying to go through in real life.
Just experienced this.
IDT that many who experience this form of aphasia are aware that they aren't making sense. It IS the cheese...
Must be hard to memorize that scene because it's a sequence of non-sequiturs.
ahahha i seriously can't watch this without smiling. ALAN SHORE FTW!
@LonelyCheeto yep, these questions are worth their basements. To end the blue radish is the upside of luxury and sparking a good lizard could only make tears fall in hindsight! So true!
This is truly amazing
This is one of the rare videos where Transcribe Audio makes more sense.
I would have loved to have seen the outtakes for this. I bet it was hard to get those lines right. Or maybe he just improvised.
Absolutely brilliant. I think Alan Shore aka James Spader is amazing....My favourite TV series ever..😊
I love this show !
@celebgirl83 I'm quite sure it was improvization. But I wonder how in the world he pulled it off without laughing and snickering so hard that he blew huge buggers out of his nose. I can't watch any of Alan's arguments without cracking up and he never even cracks a grin. The satirical humor and truthful representation of our oftentimes ridiculous legal system is profound yet hilarious. I so wish the series was still on t.v. with new shows. They became t.v. darlings.
Alan Shore : [Alan addressing the jury on about water pollution] ... What is our biggest fear? The dirty bomb. Not the dirty water!
Attorney Eric Yavitch : [stands to object] Objection! Your honor, Mr.Shore is introducing evidence in his closing that was never presented at trial.
Alan Shore : [turning to the attorney] Nonsense, your honor, I refer you to plaintiff's exhibit number apple.
Attorney Eric Yavitch : [confused look at alan] I beg your pardon?
Alan Shore : [addressing attorney] Apple trash can is picked from God.
Attorney Eric Yavitch : Huh?
Hon. Stephen Bickle : Mr. Shore...
Alan Shore : [to judge] Not the years sixty when classic electrons are free.
Attorney Eric Yavitch : Objection!
[confused]
Attorney Eric Yavitch : Uh, I think.
Hon. Stephen Bickle : Mr. Shore! You have a notorious history of court room theatrics. If your aim is to force a mistrial, you will be disappointed.
Alan Shore : [Under his breath] Pillow pants join forces over embargo pylons.
[Turns to jury]
Alan Shore : You aren't sailing past honor for the liking of a room. These questions are birthday basements. To end the blue radish is the upside of luxury and sparking a good lizard can only make tears fall in hindsight. Puddles do not ask for why not? It is cheese! Breath and wind. It is cheese.
This is basically how he does every show…lol same tones, body language, muttering, tone of voice, it is cheese breathe. And wind. Or The Practice Boston legal and Blacklist 😂
I would have loved to have been on that jury
Freakin Alan Shore. Beautiful acting.
omg so funny! i loved it!
Alan Shore but it's Google translated
This acting is amazing
Deepak Chopra as an advocate.
I wish someone would make a video that had the best come on's of Alan Shore.
I'd watch that.
@sazuko123 season 2 episode 21. It's called Word Salad Days.
“I don’t wanna get used to it.
It was extremely upsetting to be speaking and to see confusion on the faces of everyone around me.
I’m not the most connected individual. ...
Sometimes words are all that allow me to feel like I’m a part of the world, a part of life. If I don’t have words, then I’m alone.”
- (the later scene about this one)
I wish his other word salad moments (I think there was just one other one in fact in a different episode) was on CZcams as well. Loved the one he ended on "Breakdance." xD fortunately I have the show on DVD, must rewatch it soon, it's been too long 😁
What was the other one? I only remember this one instance..
@@shreyasvish I would have to rewatch it, still haven't gotten around to it. But I definitely remember that other one that ended on Breakdance and then there was talk that the word salad "came back". Might have been the one where he went fishing with Denny, or was that in this episode with the first instance of word salad?
Puddles do not ask for why not. It is cheese, breath, and wind.... it is cheese.
The description box: "and her.". 😂😂😂
i love the way he used the gibberish as slight of hand
Holy crap. Doing this isn't hard. Doing this and acting like you don't even know you're doing it? Insanely difficult. I commend Mr. Spader and truly miss Mr. Shore.
Do patients with aphasia really not realize they're saying the wrong words?
He did realize it, he says so later in the episode. He just acted like he didn't to maintain a smidge of integrity. 😄
@@DOSkywalkR This is not true he did not realize it as he was giving this speech he realized it later. This happens again when he's trying to pick up a girl by the pool and then aswell he does not realize what happened untill she threw her drink in his face.
How he held it together spouting that mystifies me 🤣🤣🤣
Puddles do not ask for why not!!!
OMG what season and episode is this from? this is hilarious!
LOL owneeeeed xD Alan shore rocks
@cobby207
My sentiments exactly. God I love James Spader
IM from DEnmark, love boston legal, have not seen this episode. I consider myself to be pretty ok with the ENglish language, and when I first saw this... I was like "wow my english is bad, i didnt get anything". THen I saw it a second time and I knew why, haha
There was an early episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where the crew was infected with a virus mimicking Aphasia effects. So the infected were unable to understand anything, and spoke nonsense. "Let birds go further loose, maybe."
Did Boston Legal just crossover with DS9?
I mean, Renee Auberjonois... :)
It is green.
@@philbertchow5425 Aldebaran Whiskey!
You're out of 0do.
It's the chewbacca defense x2!
Just enjoy the delivery and the sound of those words, forget the meaning :-)
@IceMetalPunk And Wikipedia to the rescue: "Patients who recover from Wernicke’s aphasia report that, while aphasic, they found the speech of others to be unintelligible and, despite being cognizant of the fact that they were speaking, they could neither stop themselves nor understand their own words." So they don't understand any words, not even their own.
Is it weird that that actually made sense to me?
"Pillow pants join forces over embargo pylons" HAHAHAHAA wtfff
Puddles do not ask for why not. I have been saying that my entire life
What episode is this?
Sounds like the Wookie defense to me
That... was.... some....closing?
Did he reference PillowPants from Clerks 2?? O.o
It is cheese!!!
pylons stargate reference for the win!
What reference is that? I know he was in the movie, but don’t get the reference otherwise
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
this can happen to you if youre a sociopath or a spacka too.
hahahah we did training on this stuff today
he just mind fucked an entire courtroom.
The language of schizophrenia.
objection! I think ?
@cobby207 Hell he got me to :)
Interestingly enough, Michelle Bachmann also suffers from this, she just doesn't know it...and no one's bothered to tell her.
Really? I remember that weird senator
Joe Biden as well, but it might be a symptom of something else…
Can he not say a specific word?
Someone explain to me what's happening I thought he was having a stroke
He was having an anxiety attack, but didn’t notice at all. He had things he wanted to say and an argument all lined up, but when he spoke, almost random adjacent words came out instead. The entire rest of the episode’s A-plot is basically Alan Shore trying to figure out what to do to prevent this from ever happening again.
It could be an injury in Wernek's area: the area in brain which integrates the received language.
What?
what episode it this??????
I know it's been a really long time, but if you're still interested, let me tell you that this is the first scene of *_episode 21 of season 2._*
This is hilarious! I love how they edited a Biden speech into an episode of Boston Legal!
Maybe this is the guy who could understand or translate what Biden says.
Is this joe Biden?
Ha ha that was wrong; I'm pretty sure he can say the word salad
You mean Trump?
Jethro Pablo very clever, OrANgE Man BaD!
Trump has been notorious for free-form word salad non-sequiturs for decades, especially in interviews. It has nothing to do with "orange man bad". That's just the way he's always been.
This is our president today. Joe Biden word salad!
It is cheese, breath and wind...it is cheese.
Love James Spader, he is so talented. An actor that can be serious, sexy and funny. Why was I born too late?
Anyway, love this clip...but especially James Spader.
