CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mike (Fred Willard) recalls his short-lived career as a television personality and how he came to discover the Main Street Singers.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The writing and directing team who created Waiting For Guffman and Best In Show turn their satiric eye toward the world of folk music in this sly mockumentary. Irving Steinbloom was one of the great behind-the-scenes figures of the folk music boom of the late '50s and early '60s, and helped to nurture the careers of three of the best known acts of the era. The Folksmen -- Mark Shubb (Harry Shearer), Alan Barrows (Christopher Guest), and Jerry Palter (Michael McKean) -- were an earnest folk trio who sang of America's noble past and the challenges of the future; they split up in the early '70s after a failed attempt to go electric. Mitch & Mickey were a duo in both music and life, comprised of Mitch Cohen (Eugene Levy) and Mickey Devlin (Catherine O'Hara). They sang soulful songs of love until the collapse of their relationship sent Mitch into a deep and incapacitating depression. And The Main Street Singers were a nine-piece vocal group -- a "neuftet," as they prefer it -- who offered energetic good-time music, cranking out nearly 30 albums in the course of a decade; their current incarnation, The New Main Street Singers (played by Jane Lynch, Parker Posey, John Michael Higgins, David Alan Blasucci, Steve Pandis, Christopher Moynihan, Paul Dooley and Patrick Sauber) is still on the road. When it is announced that the legendary Irving Steinbloom has died (the character never appears in the film), his son Jonathan (Bob Balaban) decides that the best way to memorialize his father is through music, and with the help of Mike LaFontaine (Fred Willard) of Hi-Class Management, they set out to bring The Folksmen, Mitch & Mickey, and The New Main Street Singers back together for a special concert at New York's Town Hall. Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer -- who previously teamed up for This Is Spinal Tap -- not only perform together as The Folksmen in A Mighty Wind, but composed most of the songs performed onscreen.

The tone change and line of "...But it only lasted a year and that's good because that's how you establish a cult." When I first saw it I laughed so hard, and it still gets me EVERY time. RIP King
Omg thankyou someone else appreciates that.
That's pure improv skill. His asides "folk audiences hated that joke" "you do not want to be on a cruise ship when dysentery breaks out" in the middle of the story are just next level!
Every time Fred Willard opens his mouth in this movie, gold spills out.
WHAT AN AWESOME VIEWPOINT!!!
I miss Fred Williard. He and Guest should have made just one more mockumentary... before...
I asked my grandfather and can confirm that the phrase 'I don't think so" didn't exist before 197smthnahem
💀💀💀💀
Hysterical. How could "I got a real red wagon" in any conceivable way be a catch phrase? How could that come up even once? A "real" red wagon! It's so hysterical!
Hysterical indeed, this is still one of my favorite scenes & the whole movie is so special. I’ve always thought the same about the “a real red wagon” (lol or “I can’t do my worrrrk!”) which only makes it that much funnier.
It's funny because there are so many counterfeit red wagons out there.
Maybe it was supposed to be some kind in-joke?
Random, stupid catch-phrases like that were commonplace on 1970s TV sitcoms (he mentions it was the '70s). I remember watching those shows as a kid. Fred is _perfectly_ capturing their lameness here.
I use it all the time
"Hey, Wha' Happened!" No better words for an epitaph. RIP Fred Willard.
to think that all this is 100% improvised. nothing scripted. genius.
+Kevin Richards Rock the Stage NYC Fred is probably the best improv comedian ever.
Michael McKean told a funny story about him recently on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast. The man is from his own planet.
Kevin Richards RPM Vocal Studio one take. Amazing
SgtTravisBickle my dad was in the army with him they played baseball in Germany. The legend of Ernie Kritzel needs to be made into a major home movie... A character they made up on the spot to mess with their sergant
Wait seriously??? Omg genius.
Fred Willard = pure genius.
He could have gone on and on and on and it would have never stopped being funny.
If it's anything like Spinal Tap (which had hours and hours of footage that didn't make it into the final cut) the scene likely does go on and on, and I bet it never stops being funny.
I envisioned your post when I saw it. True!!
I've seen this a hundred times, but I just paused on the Variety page for the first time. "After a dismal four episodes, 'Wha' Happened' has been yanked from the airwaves and judging by it's pathetic numbers, it won't be missed". Knowing the show only had 4 episodes makes this even better.
LAtvFan But that’s ok. That’s how you establish a cult. Four episodes is all it takes.
"As Lil Eddie would say, 'brace yourselves!'"
4 episodes that nobody watched.
Even funnier, later in the article it says that he only got the show because his uncle is a studio executive and that this was his third cancelled show in 18 months.
And that in that four episodes they already had five catchphrases
"due to TOTAL lack of interest" LMAO!!
I know...that tickled me
Canceled after one season - that’s how you cultivate a cult following. Hilarious!!
"To see in fact if there's a reflection" is a joke that moves by so fast that I didn't catch it for years.
"Back in 197hmmhmhmhm I started…"
That makes me laugh every time
HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Who thumb downs the late great Fred Willard?.....I bet those people are fun at parties
Lol
I make this joke so often when referring to years
"To see if indeed there's a reflection" is briliant
"But is only lasted a year but that's OK because that's how you establish a cult" love his one liners.
The best part of this is that the character is supposed to be a failed comedian. So Fred Willard can ad-lib the lamest jokes and it all fits. This is like the lowest pressure comedy - the more you bomb, the better the bit.
I remember when I saw this in the theater- everyone cheered when this scene started. They’d obviously all seen his performance in Best In Show and knew that what they were about to see was gonna be gold.
What “theater” may I ask?
@@timfisher5417 Marcus. It was playing in one of the smallest rooms.
@@crescentfreshbret it was a theater reference. Due to Fred’s theater incident😬
@@timfisher5417 Ah, I see 😆
He was hilarious in his bit part in Spinal Tap. A natural scene stealer.
Is it wrong "Wha' happened?!" was my first response upon learning of his death? R.I.P.
I dooon't thiiink sooo.
@@RicoRoyal Damn. Beat me to it.
that's why I'm here lol
Same!
Me too 😂
"You don't want to be on a cruise ship when dysentery breaks out" absolutely hilarious
"Dysentary broke out on the ship a couple of times" LOL
Wha' happened is one of the funniest comedians ever just passed away. Thanks for the laughs Fred. R.I.P.
One of the only people I've ever seen in my 54 years that would automatically make you smile upon hearing his name or seeing his name in the opening credits for a movie or tv show. He was always funny. RIP Sir, you brought us joy.
I absolutely agree. He is precisely that person. He should have lived 150 years tbh
One of my favorite scenes in any movie ever.
RIP Fred Willard
This scene absolutely killed when I saw it the first time in the movies
The man is an institution. "I can't do my wook!" is highly underrated as catchphrases go.
"I've got a real red wagon!"
The first one to use the phrase "I don't think so" absolute genius
i love how nonstop he is. the schtick NEVER ENDS. it's just one barely contextualized punchline to the next
About 17 hilarious lines in a little over 2 minutes. RIP to a true genius
"That's how you establish a cult"
Yes!
R.i.p. sir. Your comedy was gold.
always liked Fred, hard to believe he's gone- -
This is the first time I noticed the shot of liquor sitting in front of him. He keeps eyeing it thirstily...🤣 Just another hilarious element to one of the funniest scenes in film history. Damn that guy was a pro! RIP
I've watched this scene about 100 times and never noticed that until now. Amazing.
Related (because Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara are in this film): in the "Five Neat Guys" sketches on SCTV, Joe Flaherty's character is extremely hammered in every scene.
That's like that thing I think is about as brilliantly humorous as maybe anything the Coen Bros ever did, that scene in The Hudsucker Proxy when Steve Gallagher is playing a character who seems a perfect morphing of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, singing Memories are Made of This. There's a very brief pause in the vocals and he starts to raise his highball glass to his mouth but before it gets there he has to continue singing.
This scene is just unbelievable, so many laughs in 2 minutes. RIP you legend ❤️️
Good God, I love Fred Willard. This absolutely cracks me up. R.I.P., sir.
He was the king of small comedic roles. Seemed like such a good guy. We'll miss you, Fred.
Awe, RIP FRED🙏 You've given me hours and hours of laughter.
God Bless You. Get ready, Heaven. You're in for a treat!
Fred Willard is a living legend
WorldsWorstBoy 😞
@@johnnyluna7824 Oh man this emoji just broke the news to me....
Not living anymore
That made me sad.
@@TheKitchenerLeslie :/
RIP Fred!! You were literally the funniest person to ever live!
"Total lack of interest", funniest line ever.
R.I.P. Fred, you will be missed
Fred Willard always steals the show. He will be missed.
It’s should be a life prerequisite to listen to this skit. God love this man. Lol. F’n love it.
We always use this at work when something goes wrong, 'Hey! Wha' happen?!' Funny, funny man. RIP Fred.
Oh Fred. Nothing made me need to pee my pants more than watching a scene with you. To see in fact if there is a reflection. RIP. ❤️
Rest in peace, Fred. You were amazing.
One of the greats of comedy.
I don't think so!
Fred Willard is great in every role he takes. Er, took. R.I.P. :(
RIP Fred. He's doing his work in heaven now.
No he isn't because there is no Heaven.
@@lecutter9382 Look man, I agree, but I don't wanna think about this beautiful specimen of a comedy man in a box so let me just have this.
@@lecutter9382 That's kinda disrespectful
@@lecutter9382 *Afeism*
I don't think so!
I remember watching this movie on DVD with the commentary by Levy and Guest. Apparently Fred Willard could improvise nonstop for as long as you were willing to let the cameras run and then keep going. A level of brilliance missed in so much modern comedy.
Fred Willard often had the funniest roles and played them with comedic excellence. Rest in peace.
RIP Fred, thank you so much for this and everything you've done!!
RIP :( He was so great
I love this guy!❤ RIP Fred. Thanks for all the laughs.
Fred Willard. A comedy God who always dove in commando-style to brutally and efficiently cram in two years worth of jokes into two minutes.
Good God. What a genius to bring it back around to an "I don't think so!" 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
R.I.P. Mr. Willard.
"I don't think so" Amazing.
Oh, Fred...I’m in tears laughing at this right now and you left us in May. Rest well you funny funny man
You had to love his total ability to just be completely unaffected by his banality. Probably the best at what he did it just was so cheesy yet he could do a lot of other things too. Anchorman was a good one for sure just a very funny guy I do miss him greatly
Same thing with his character in "Spinal Tap."
R.I.P Fred Willard
(1933 - 2020)
RIP to Fred Willard. What a comedic genius. This scene always makes me laugh like an idiot
Some of the funniest 2 minutes in comedy and the man did it in one take
20+ years later I still laugh for two minutes straight during this entire scene.
We'll never forget him as the oblivious of dogs commentator in Best of Show. Hilarious!
"If he's got a long enough hose, he's gonna have a lot of friends in the shower room." Folk audiences hated that joke.
That's my favorite line in the entire monologue
I need to see Fred Willard deep faked as Jack in The Shining: he chops through the door and screams "Wha' happened!?"
I can never get tired of hearing Fred saying "Wha happened"
Rest in peace king
Fred could read the phone book and make me laugh.
this monolog is so perfect
I never heard of this movie prior to the this week, happened upon it and couldn't stop laughing. Willards scenes were unbelievable.
RIP Fred. You were one of the greats.
Rip and thank you for the laughs!
R.I.P. Mr. Willard - we needed you to still be here because we need more laughs.
He was freakin awesome, one of the funniest ever
I can't be alone when I say that I'm 100℅ totally interested in Wha' Happened?.
Would I watch this?
THAT'S RIGHT!!
I DON'T THINK SO!
This clip is so distracting that I CAN’T DO MY WUHK!
That would have been a great bonus for the "A Mighty Wind" DVD, to have included an episode of "Wha' Happened?".
Ysmigra Great freakin idea man.... I could use you in my writers room.
Rip to a genius comedian! All he had to do is open his mouth and play himself! Fred Willard was always one of the best part of Christopher Guest mockumentaries.
"you know, back in 1970-mmmmhmmmuh"
christopher guest telling fred willard not to use actual dates is what makes this
Just genius! I love this mans work. He can literally steal a show.
I love wondering how “I got a real red wagon.” can be a recurring phrase in a sitcom. 😄
I get interrupted at the office constantly, so "I can't do my worrrrk" gets used a lot here.
RIP to this master of comedy
RIP Fred. Thanks for the laughs.
Fear of vampires delicately fit into the interview, truly genius.
RIP legend
Rest In Peace, buddy
83 people in the folk audience
Who needs a great big audience with self-assurance like that? :D Not because his 'lines' are funny but because the lines around his lines are funny, and he's poking fun at himself.
his voices resemblance to nogla is literally spot on
What a genius RIP
@0:33 Pause your player and read the Variety write-up surrounding the cancellation of "Wha'Happened'. Love it.
So THATS where Vanoss gets all these sounds haha
lol
i want 10 hours of it
Rest In Peace, you incredibly funny man.
RIP, you hilarious man. Thanks for the laughs.
Funny, great comedic actor!RIP Mr.Willard!
Genius! Still one of my favorite movie scenes of all-time...
There's so much to love in this movie, so many great lines and performances, but I always find myself thinking how much less this film would have been without him and Jane Lynch.
RIP Fred. We love and will miss you❤❤
i always thought that was Daithi De Nogla
Lol me too
+Matt Karolczuk me not :/
LOL ME TOO
me tto
Matt Karolczuk OMG ME ROOF
Rest In Peace Fred Willard
Every time one of my kids whines about cleaning up toys, I say "I can't do my woooooork!" and they laugh and pick up their toys. Thank you Fred Willard, RIP.
This is the best monologue in film history.
