- Although this little shop of horrors is kind of terrifying it is also very appropriate for this channel. I think Steve Martin is a genius and here are my reactions to his famous scene where he walks into his dental office.
If you think I should react and/or comment about any other popular shows or movies please let me know.

![Watching LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS for the first time ever! // I CRIED!! [Commentary & Reaction]](/img/tr.png)
The comedy behind the dentist character is that he's not just "crazy" but he's a sadist and gets off on inflicting pain which makes the future scene with Bill Murray, a masochist patient, a complete match made in S & M heaven.
Except the response was all wrong for the Sadist lol
"Masochist uses reverse uno card"
Sadist: *angry confusion*
Very well said, theGorn68.
Yes but if you remember, it pissed him off when the patient was actually enjoying it.
My pops took me to see this when it fist came out... I was 8 or 9, I believe? Anyhow, watching it as an adult, I see so much that went "over my head" as a kid. Watching the Bill Murray scene as an adult, I was kind of creeped-out! As a kid, I didn't understand the whole "S & M" concept, and how Orin kicked him out after realizing that he was ENJOYING the abuse and pain! It is a much darker movie/play than I ever realized!
I know that when the movie first came out there were a few dentists who were upset that they were depicted as sadistic. I'm glad you can see the humour in Steve Martin's portrayal.
Can't take yourself too seriously:)
I had a dentist once who didn't want to give me Novocaine so he only gave me a bit and he totally didn't wait for it to kick in either he just started drilling so before he even got to my tooth I started thrashing ( I was young, it was the early 90s ) and he called me a brat and kicked me out.
I only knew that my other dentist before I had to switch insurance would wait for me to get numb and this new guy didn't so I guess naturally as a child I was like "somethings wrong" in my brain and kicked into tantrum mode.
Also, keep in mind that it was released in 86, but was set in the 50s
I remember someone telling me about a time their dentist was working on them and the dentistâs phone went off and this song was his ringtone.
@@ThriveDentist I don't blame Steve Martin. He is a great actor. But I am glad that you reacted the scene from the movie
The hop dance he does after heâs finished praying to his mom cracks me up every time
The "There he is, folks, the leader of the plaque." line gets me every time!
Look at him suck up that gas, OH MY GOD!

Is it safe?
@Katy TerBerg who wants their teeth done by the marquis de Sade?
@@cheriblossom983 Oh that hurts!
@@__Ibot__ wait Iâm not numb!!
This song....feels so accurate to how my early visits to the dentist were. I had a horrible dentist as a kid. No matter how wide I opened my mouth, it was never wide enough. He would put this thing in my mouth that I can only describe a tiny jack, which he would then use to force my mouth open to where he wanted it. This wouldn't necessarily be a problem in itself, except that he forced my mouth open to a point where it was actually painful. Like, I felt like my jaw about to dislocate painful. Between having my mouth forced open farther than it was meant to go, stabbing my gums with his hook, and any other work he had to do, I would start screaming in pain. He eventually refused to see me (which I was fine with), because I apparently made the other kids nervous. Of course, my mom never believed my side of the story, so I just got in trouble. We started going to a new dentist. One that had an N64 in waiting room, so kids could play and relax before they had to go in. I was still kinda nervous my first time in (for obvious reasons), so as I'm trying to prepare myself for the usual pain, the nurse asks me: "What movie would you like to watch?" to which I could only respond "....what?" Turns out this new place would put on a movie for the patients so they could focus on that while the dentist was busy doing his thing. I never screamed in that office even once. Everyone had a great bedside manner, they were all super friendly, and if they ever put anything in my mouth to keep it open, they made sure I was comfortable before they started. Best dentists office ever. 10/10, would recommend.
Little Shop of Horrors is a movie from the early 1960s and is set in that time period.
The musical version movie was made in 1986 but it is still set in the early 1960s.
Gloves, masks, shields would be rare back then.
By the mid 1980s dentists usually used gloves and usually masks.
Oh cool
"Even though I'm mal-ad-just-ed.." hahahaha I love that line. And the little kick dance he does coming out the closet shrine. Check it out on re-watch, Steve Martin is an unsung genius. đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
When I was small, a crazy dentist pulled out my rotten teeth with no anesthetic, causing me years worth of trauma and me needing to be heavily drugged. Pretty accurate
Fun fact: The office was originally going to be covered in blood splatters đ
I knew it!! The walls were too white, they needed a little red on them honestly đ
I've seen the off broadway version and the off broadway version has blood on the walls.
Dr Nate: It seems youâre feeling the pain a bit, do you want me to continue?
Bill Murray (smiles): Yes Doctor.
đ đ
Awesome video! This is actually the first time I saw an actual dentist react to this clip of "Orin Scrivello!"
"It's the professionalism that I respect!"
"CANDY BAR!! candybarcandybarcandybar! Gonna get a candy bar!"
Gotta do the Martin vs. Murray scene and comment on ever encountering a patient who is a lover of dental procedures. :)
lol.
Yes please!
More than medical procedures đ
For all of us who thought that the dentist in Little Shop of Horrors is a realistic depiction of the profession.... exactly no one.
Actually, not totally true. When I was 12 in the early 60s I lived in a small town and had never been to a dentist in my life before. Of course I had to have every tooth in my head filled because of poor dental hygiene and excessive candy consumption . My dentist was so angry that my parents had neglected to give me dental care that he wanted to make a point. You said that dentists put topical anesthetic on the gums to numb the effect of the needle. Not this guy! He carried the needle in front of him like a sword. and proceeded to numb me. It is so amazing that I survived that incident without hating dentists or not having great dental hygiene. I am 70 years old now and still have most of my teeth. There are whack jobs out there in every profession. Thankfully he has bee dead for decades and has not inflicted trauma on anyone in a very long time.
You're wrong. So so wrong.
My dentist loves Little Shop of Horrors. He also likes Marathon Man, starring Laurence Olivier as a man who is not only a sadistic dentist but a sadistic Nazi dentist.
I thought about asking my dentist if he could sing this song when I see him this next Monday. Weâre related so he might actually do itđ
Im in grade 9 and trying to get the best grades possible. Ive always wanted to be a surgeon but after doing research i realized it not my thing. After watching you and a bunch of your videos you've inspired me and i strive to be an orthodontist with my own offices just like you. Thank you!
Glad I could help:)
Go for it! Please!
Just be a better dentist than in the little shop of horrors.
Literally nicest guy ever so super nice to his patients and reassuring
"of course he can't have a mask if he's trying to sing, right?"
My highschool, doing a performance of lsoh this year: *sweats*
I remember before the liquid suction tool, we had to lean over to one side and spit into some small ceramic bowl that was constantly flushing water down it like a small toilet. The times always a-changing.
Itâs called a cuspidor. I wish they still had them. They have saliva ejectors now. I read that one in five patients may receive the backwash of bacteria and blood from the prior patient when asked to close on the saliva ejector..
Yep! We kids called it the Spitty Sink
@@cybersee9966 I doubt it's that high everyone would be getting sick đ€ą after going to the dentist đŠ· !
Having a real Dentist go over this priceless, hilarious scene is, yes, priceless!
Thank you so much, Dr. Nate, for your input. It's awesome!

Hearing the boy scream scared the bloody hell out of me when I saw this as a kid.
I was a little girl in the 1950s & my mom, a doctor, was friends w/ the dentist in the health care practice a large corporation provided for their employees. So of I went on most Saturday mornings to be tortured by her friend, who I later realized hated children. He wasnât as awful as Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors, but close.
But thatâs only aside. I grew up to be a Ph.D. level psychologist who taught in the medical school. Later I was asked to put together an advanced seminar for the Psychiatry Residents about how to diagnose & treat people who came to see them on an outpatient basis instead as inpatients on the psychiatric unit in our hospital. As I was preparing my course curriculum & looking for materials to use as teaching aids, I encountered the most outstanding, comprehensive teaching aid I have ever seen, that illustrated not just one personality disorder but several poorly described ones in the DSMs (American Psychiatric Associationâs Diagnostic & Statistical Manual).
After watching a video of Little Shop of Horrors w/ my family & laughing until I cried, I had a brilliant idea that I shared w/ my girls & my husband. What did they think of my showing the video to the Residents in my new seminar that was starting soon? The 3 girls got all got excited & started calling out names of movie characters & their diagnoses. I was amazed at how right on they were.
My husband did not get a chance to say a word but was laughing at his 9 & 11 year old daughters getting so excited about the idea of Audrey 1, the plant from outer space, being the best portrayal of a Borderline Personality Order who is so needy & selfish that they suck the life out of other people close to them . And Steve Martin was called a sadistic, narcissistic, psychopath from hell. Of course they absolutely loved him & several years later performed âThe Dentistâ at a Charity Event in the town where we lived.
And when my Psychiatry Residents did their class evaluations at the end of the seminar, can you guess what all but 2 of my students wrote that watching the Video of the movie, âThe Little Shop of Horrorsâ was the best part & they knew theyâd never have trouble with making the diagnoses of those particular Personality Disorders in the future. Since a committee of faculty members had to read the class evaluations from our residents, I was suddenly inundated w/ calls from the members & other faculty members who had heard about my seminar. So I had to have a party at my house w/ food, drink, the video, & lots of fun & laughter. And, as we all should know by now, Laughter Is The Best Medicine!!!
Thanks for showing âThe Dentistâ part of the movie & relating it to the reality of dentistry today. You are a delightful & insightful narrator & Iâd love to have your beautiful smile. That smile is the best advertisement for your dental practice, especially when you laugh. Your genuine laugh comes from your heart & invites us to laugh w/ you!!â
I think the little shop of horrors is supposed to be based in the 50's or 60's.
The original film, a non-musical, was made in the 1950's. Most notable for being the first film Jack Nicholson appeared in.
This scene is SO funny!! Also love hearing reaction from real dentists!
This character would get sued so fast these days, for literally everything lol
Also, watch the movie if you haven't yet! :D
I think the movie is saying he can get away with it because it's skid row and nobody from skid row would have the money to sue but there are pro Bono lawyers who would take the case just to make a name for themselves no money đ° upfront needed I think đ€ I'm Not a lawyer myself so ... đđ
2:15 Not Dr Orin. "It dulls the senses." lol
I'll give this guy this... he does have REALLY good teeth.
Say AAAH!!!
WHEN your dentist waterboards you lol
This was a cute reaction đ
This has always been one of my top favorite musicals since childhood- like age 9
Iâm 39 now
This was a cute reaction
Youâre a cute dentist
Still wouldnât let you you near my teeth đ
âLittle Shop of Horrorsâ originally was a Roger Corman movie made in 1960. Jack Nicholson played the dentistâs patient.
âNovocaineâ is a movie starring Steve Martin as a dentist. I read that the director/screenwriter of the movie comes from a family of dentists.
Interesting. Never heard of it but I'm going to look it up.
This should be a required watch for any and all Dentists...
Heeey, this is the first time I've heard of the topical anesthetic. My dentist never used that, just did the injection straight away. Made my eyes water for about 5 seconds before the numbness kicked in lol. Well darn.
Anywho, love Little Shop of Horrors. This is one of my favourite scenes. Always cracks me up. Shame it didn't have the first few lines of the song though.
The topical is to reduce the feeling of the very initial "pricking" with the needle. However if it only took 5 seconds to inject, it could be that the solution was injected a bit too quickly - it should take up to 30 seconds. You could say the dentist was in a rush or more likely they thought it's better to 'get it over with' for you, but the trouble is that the fast injection causes the solution to sort of "whoosh" into the gums. The pressure of the solution going into the gums fast without time to dissipate causes that pain.
5:27 Best pick-up line ever
I am 60 and back then I never had a dentist use gloves or a mask. I was child in the 60's /70's. This is portrayed in the 1950's. They did not use topical back then. I have assisted in Oral surgery in Europe and they do not use topical there either. They also used novacaine instead of lidocaine.
if you thought that dentist was crazy then wait until you see the dentist that Corbin Bernsen played in the horror movie the dentist.
Yup too scared to watch that!
@@ThriveDentist I dare you to do a reaction to that one next as well as it's sequel.
One of the characters in the movie was a teenage girl who was going to get her braces off. She was clever: she was able to protect and defend herself.
@@cybersee9966 too bad the gal in the sequel didn't turn out so lucky though.
âThe Dentistâ movie was based on a true story.
I watched this back in the 80's and loved this scene. When I started to need crowns in the 2000's I would act excited and jump up in front of all the patients waiting and walk fast to my room. Afterwards I would tell the Doctor and his assistant how much I enjoyed that. When leaving in front of the patients waiting, I would always act like I was in extremely bad pain holding my jaw. I love going to the dentist.
Why do so many fictional dentists have to be such psychopaths?đ
I'd hate to see Orin take out some poor teenagers' wisdom teeth.
Love this vid. I laughed at your reaction to one of my fav scenes of one of my fav film musicals. Steve Martin is a comedic genius and watching you watch it was truly endearing since you are a RL Dentist hahaha đ
"He should be giving them anesthetics"
Given that the scene takes place in the 1950s (I suppose), that sounds almost incredible to me. The dentist my parents took me to when I was a child would only ever numb me up when he had to do something "serious" ... like extracting a tooth. I guess he must've been "old school" or something, but nope... no needles for poor little me back then. And that was in the late 1970s/early 1980s.
Needless to say that I absolutely dreaded any dentist appointment back then. I distinctly remember one occasion where I did get some Novocaine from him, he sent me back to the waiting room for the stuff to take effect and so that he could work on my mom first. When his assistant came to call me back into the practice, she freaked out because out of sheer nervousness and terror of having to get back into the chair, I had chewed open my lower lip (without realizing it, because it was numb) and was thus bleeding like a stuck pig.
exactly what i was looking for. a real dentist reacting to this! thank you good sir!
Omg I remember that movie!!! Lol
Finding Nemo's slapstick dentistry make me crack up even more.
What every dentist office should have is a shrine to Steve Martin the dentist đ
The reason I have dental anxiety đ
There is another film called Novocain where he also plays a Dentist.
Me: *looks at Nate's teeth*
Also me: *gets blind đŠŻ*
I remember seeing this in the theater when I was 11. Since I hadn't been to a dentist in longer than I can remember, it became a partial definition for what a dentist is.
In my 20s I actually considered suicide to avoid dentists.
I'm almost 50, and still terrified of them.
@Nathan Coughlin: As thegorn68 commented, below, the point is that Steve Martin's character is actually sadistic. So - you should definitely check out, and do a reaction video on, the scene a little later in the movie where Steve Martin's sadistic dentist meets up with a masochistic patient ( Bill Murray. ) It's also hilarious.
I never knew a kind dentist. Most of them yell at you about your teeth, cleaning and bla,bla,bla.And at the end they charged you very expensive.
Oh no, sorry to hear that :( I promise nice dentist do exist. Many of mine were pretty friendly but they will nag you about flossing, its all out of care though.
The dentists instruments/tools he uses are used again in Batman 1989 movie when Joker goes to the plastic surgeon after falling into that acid
This song comes to my mind every time I go to the dentist. I paid for laughing gas and I don't recall any joy whatsoever I was like oh man my dentist probably took my shit. Lol.
I have very bad ptsd from a childhood dentist that I believe took Steve Martin's song to heart. That ahole never listened to me when I said I was in pain! I usually can't go more than once every 5 years or so and I have to get knocked out. And I'm almost 40.
As an adult, I don't think I could see a dentist without being completely under with anesthesia. The discomfort and pain combined with a really strong gag reflex, and I just can't do it. I haven't been for the past 20 years as bad as it sounds.....
There are recordings of demos for the off Bâway musical with songs that were discarded from the show. One of them is My Hobby which is an early version of Dentist. Orin says that when he was a kid he & his buddies went to a graphic horror movie. He got turned on and his friends got sick. There is also a musical number sung by his punching bag girlfriend called the Worse He Treats Me.
I remember getting braces when I was seven having them on until I was nine ,then having to get them on again because I kept sticking my tongue through my teeth. This was in the 90s before Invisalign and coloured braces, my braces were the silver kind that looked like train tracks. I never got laughing gas when I got my braces on, is there an age limit?
Also getting braces tightened hurts .
You should comment on the range of equipment portrayed when he (Martin) is going to work on the masochists (Bill Murray) mouth. Some of those instruments look like something from the dark ages.
When I had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed my dentist gave me a numbing shot right on a sentive nerve and I screamed to high heaven with tears. The dentist then said don't do that you scared me. I can't say anything cause mouth kinda full of gazes and drugged pretty good. Although looking back I would say well excuse me, but you would scream too if someone jabbed a needle into a painful area. The operation was fine and I cried 3 times. đđ
Great video, Dr. Nate.
This movie is set in the 50s where dentists didnât always use gloves, anyway great video, it introduced me to ur channel đ
I ask every dentist đŠ· if they have seen this movie đż thatâs how I judge them
lol
Me too đđ
Don't forget, this was supposed to be in the 50s. If you look closely you'll see ashtrays in the waiting room. Heck, I'm 57 and I remember when you could smoke in a hospital around all that oxygen.
I went to the same dentist while I was growing up, and he didn't wear a mask or gloves in the early 70s but started doing so later on.
My last dentist played Steve Martin's part in a college production.
Whoa, those Chiclet teeth are upstaging you.
Love your channel!
Thank You!
yess i love his channel too
him: innocently mentions laughing gas for proper dental practices
me: oohhhh don't start with that in this situation
Hi Dr.Nate I hope youâre doing great ! I have a question thatâs been lately up on my mind which is, Orthodontists are only specialized in braces? And is whitening teeth and fixing cavities a part of an orthodontistâs job?
Iâm in 11th grade and my dream job is to become a dentist but I didnât know what type of a dentist I wanted to exactly become. After watching your videos you inspired to become a successful orthodontist :)
Hey Nadine. Yes, orthodontists specialize in braces but we are all dentists originally and have filled cavities/extracted teeth/whitened teeth, etc.
Glad I could be a little insprirationđ
I went into the dentist office to get a drilling and the anesthesia wasn't working but by the 4th time they tried to give me anesthesia and it still didn't work I felt bad and didn't want to have to stop again so I toughened it out. It numbed the pain to a point where it was still very painful but not so painful that I was able to keep myself from screaming.
About the injecting you may want to say that to my dentist, he never numb before and stab right away.
I'm in the UK and I've never had that pre injection gel or even heard of/been offered that before. Hmm
Oh that's interesting.
@@ThriveDentist I've had it once or twice (iirc, in the form of a cotton nub coated with gel and placed between gum and cheek/lip). While it numbs the initial prick, it does nothing for the needle feeling like it's going right up your nose. At least the initial flash of pain acts as a warning for the slow sear of the needle being in?
I've learned to dissociate during those few seconds, and after that I can focus on keeping my head still, tongue down, and mouth open. As long as I'm numb for the actual work, the injection is tolerable.
Check out at P. Sherman in Finding Nemo.
You should have talked about the Bill Murrey scene too especially when Steve Martin starts taking out the instruments what they are and if they are real too and if you ever had a pachant like Bill Murrey in your office who enjoyed the pain đ€ LoL đ I also like Steve Martin other Dentist đŠ· comedy movie Novacaine have you seen it and did you like that movie đ„ ? If I remember correctly he played a Good Dentist in that movie đ !
He didn't wear a mask in this song, but he does wear one later on that proves to be his undoing...
He better be giving me the shinyest if imma go through that
Realmente es amaizing!! la interpretaciĂłn me reĂ mucho,y lo disfrute se la voy a poner a mis pacientes
Genial
Question To Ask You Or For Anyone Here That Is A Dentist, On The Back Of My Mouth My Back Tooth Feels Sharp.....It Doesn't Feel Loose Or Cracked It Just Feels A Little Sharp....Should I Be Worried About That?
You should review the self tooth removal with a ice skate scene from the movie Castaway
What should I work as in high school/college to gain work experience?
I would try your best to work/volunteer in a dental office.
Yes đđœ

Watch this though, it sums up the comedic issues, they are psychological - like politicians sometimes, who are supposed to take into consideration, other peoples needs - it's a power dynamic - czcams.com/video/XB7R0ZxNgC4/video.html
Watching this, I wanna be a dentist when I grow up ... or maybe a Grand Inquisitor ... yeah, maybe that.
Tim Conway Dentist skit.
I don't think dentists wore masks in the 80s, I was just a kid then but I don't think mine did
Can you day why the needles used in dentistry look so different from the ones used to give IM injections? I would have expected them to be smaller, giving a much more shallow injection.
OK so why did California BAN Laughing Gas?
Now do the scene with Bill Murray.
0:40 đ đąđ
How expensive was schooling to become an orthodontist
Hey Luis try this video. czcams.com/video/BrVC6qqweHA/video.html
Dayum! Your teeth are making me snowblind!
Shiny like a wealthy womanâs neck
Scrub the deck and make it look shiny
So straight and bright
Iâm blown away
And everytime Iâm having an appointment with my dentist I have this video playing in my head.
I could actually imagine my dentist having a Schrein of his mama...hihi đđđ
Not wearing gloves and mask. It was at the end of the 80-ies these became normal, deu to the risk al AIDS. That's how I remember it. Maybe a mask was used sometimes prior the aids, but not common.
Like the comments.
This movie was from the 1980s. When I had braces in that erra my dentist dident where a mask or gloves eithor
he should of reacted to the bill murray scene
he didnât answer the one question we all wondering
2:10 I just noticed. He is using an upper Ash on lower teeth. =P
I want to recommend the Three Stooges. I can hardly wait episode.
Weâre you a smart student in high school/college? Cause I am far from smart and my gpa is like 3.5 rn in high school. I wanna become a dentist but fear the rejections from dental schools. Your thoughts?
I was an ok student but just keep trying your best!
My old dentist was more like orin then like you. She did stuff like showing me the needle and not waiting for it to kick in.
Uh just a little note here: This movie takes place in the early 1960s, thatâs why we see him not wearing disposable gloves. They werenât invented yet.
Why does he punch people and RIP off doll heads? He's a sadist. A sadistic little twerp. That's why he is such a jerk. So that's why he wants to inflict pain, and he uses the laughing gas like marijuana. It's a drug to him. Thought I'd clear that up
Hey, Steve Martin is not _a jerk._ Heâs _The Jerk._ đ
You seem to be explaining how things are to someone that's not of the human race. Still, LOVE that scene.
How about you do that movie again but with Bill Murray
I think this takes place in the 50s
Doctor, dentists washed their hands and put on gloves before working on their patients in 1986. Dentists were not like Steve Martin.
