Best in Show (4/11) Movie CLIP - Naming Nuts (2000) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Harlan Pepper (Christopher Guest) talks about his tendency to name nuts and how it drove his mother crazy.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
After parodying the idiosyncrasies of community theater devotees in the mock documentary Waiting for Guffman, actor/director Christopher Guest returns with another semi-improvised comedy that casts a satirical gaze on the world of championship dog breeding and training. A television crew is on hand to document the prestigious Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show, and competition is fierce among the canine devotees vying for top honors. Salesman Gerry Fleck (Eugene Levy), who is cursed with two left feet (literally), and his wife Cookie (Catherine O'Hara) have entered their Norwich terrier "Winky" in competition. Wealthy and neurotic Meg Swan (Parker Posey) and her husband Hamilton (Michael Hitchcock) are on hand with their Weimaraner "Beatrice," who they fear may have been traumatized by watching them have sex. Scott Donlan (John Michael Higgins) and his life partner Stefan Vanderhoof (Michael McKean) have brought their beloved Shih Tzu, "Miss Agnes." Trophy wife Sherri Ann Cabot (Jennifer Coolidge) and her close friend and trainer Christy Cummings (Jane Lynch) are hoping for a repeat victory for Sheri's poodle, "Rhapsody In White." And Harlan Pepper (Guest), who operates a store specializing in fly-fishing gear, has decided to stack his bloodhound "Hubert" up against the competition. In addition to Guest, Levy, O'Hara, and Posey, several other veterans of the Waiting for Guffman cast also appear in Best in Show, including Fred Willard, Bob Balaban, and Lewis Arquette.

Indeed one of the best parts of this movie. One of my sisters would play this part over and over and laugh until she cried watching Christopher Guest in this scene. Whenever we are together cooking, god forbid if the recipe has pine nuts in it because one of us invariably goes off on a tangent listing all the nuts just like Harlan Pepper. These Christopher Guest movies are brilliant.

[jazzywubs]

The best thing is that in the commentary he mentions that he didn't know a whole lot of nuts while he was improving, and he didn't know why he mentioned it, lol

[Schrodingers-Fat]

Christopher is an absolute comedic genius.

[Ed_Okin]

This is my favorite comedy. The improvisation is just brilliant. And if you’ve ever actually known someone who took dogs to dog shows or been to a dog show, everything is spot on.

[Thekennel]

This little scene is a masterpiece in acting.

[missjt]

The humor in this movie is very subtle. Its not for everyone. Its for me though!! I love Guest!

[plaidawan]

This small bit was so completely unrelated to the movie, but it’s the funniest scene in my opinion.

[sandyt]

This scene was hilarious because it’s so unrelated to anything. The amazing thing is that the entire movie was unscripted and the just shot 80 hours of film and kept these crazy parts. He was so great as Corky in WAITING FOR GUFFMAN. Probably his best part ever.

One of the best sleeper comedies ever, just sayin'

[conniel.]

I rewatched this movie the other day. This scene had me on the floor! The way he pauses in between the name of each nut.

[joshjohnson]

The kick he gets out of himself before he says macadamia nut. 😂😂😂

[benjaminhatcher]

« Woarrghaaoor...it sounded like Macadamia nut... » 😄

[cdachyk]

Best scene in the whole movie. I use the sayings "I used to able to name every nut that there was.". And "Harlen Feffer you stop naming them nuts boy.". Way more in day to day life than I care to admit 🤣🤣🤣

[KaneRobot]

"If you don't stop namin' nuts..."

[mikemanrod]

Harlan Peppa, if you don't stop namin' nuts!!!

[alexthompson]

"The joke was cuz we lived in Pine Nut..."

[LMDinNC]

pistachio nut, red pistachio nut, natural all natural white pistachio nut...

[indiesindie]

Truly one of the funniest dudes on the planet!

[Argonaut]

So how can this be funny? A guy naming nuts. But it is just hilarious.

[JohnTurner]

Loved this movie and this scene.

Wife: "I bought some pistachios at the store."
Me: "Cool, but what about the other nuts? Hazelnut, pine nut, ..." in my best Guest imitation.
Drives her crazy.  😂
