This video introduced me to this film because I had a little Gene Wilder phase in 2020. Hes still one of my favorite actors! Im 19 so im a little late on the hype lol. Im glad to be born in this generation because I can watch these films whenever I want, and listen to every song from any era and have the ability to have good taste. This movie is one of my favorites because ne and my friend watched it together and we laughed really hard during it, especially at the ass scene. For weeks, we'd randomly go "Yyyeh!" Because of this film. Rip Gene Wilder rest easy

I'm actually tearing up watching this. I'm so happy my parents would show me movies like this growing up. As timothyj said before me, it is sad to think everyone in this clip is gone. RIP.

Madeline Kahn had the most wonderful voice, Ever. Gotta rewatch this movie someday.

"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" feels like the missing Mel Brooks movie. It's hilarious and criminally underrated.

"If you're over eighty you can waltz a little while..." Kind of sad to think that only one of that hilarious trio actually made it to that age.

RIP Gene Wilder. Shortly after this scene we see Leo McKern too... four fine performers now all lost to us

Come on and Hop! Hop!
Come And Do The Kangaroo Hop! Hop!
that's the dance for me and you
If your over eighty you can waltz a little while
but hoppin' about the parlor is the very latest style!

Come on and Hop! Hop!
Hear the music going Pop?
You'll never never want to stop!

There's no other kind of dance at all
So come along my honey, make the others look small
Come and do the kangaroo
(if you know what's good for you)
Come and do the kangaroo hop

(Key Change)

Hop! Hop!
Come And Do The Kangaroo Hop! Hop!
that's the dance for me and you
If your over 80 you can waltz a little while
but hoppin' about the parlor is the very latest style!

Come on and Hop! Hop!
Hear the music going Pop?
You'll never never want to stop!
There's no other kind of dance at all
So come along my honey, make the others look small
Come and do the kangaroo
Come and do the kangaroo
Come and do the kangaroo Hop!

Hop! Hop!
Come And Do The Kangaroo Hop! Hop!
that's the dance for me and you

Strange..haven't seen this movie in about 8 years.. i was stood in the kitchen today when somebody on the radio said "last night i hopped into bed" and i started instantly singing this..and doing the actions.

Hahahaha PF genius! What a cast -- Wilder/Feldman/Kahn, but don't forget Dom Deluise, Leo McKern, and Roy Kinnear! Agreed that this is an underrated film -- what loons! All gone now but RIP in comedy heaven!

Those three. I don’t know how they were behind the scenes but it looks like they are having a blast

I loved this movie. So underrated and overlooked.

0:51. Trademark Frederick Fronkensteen/Willy Wonka crazy eyes. Gene was fantastic.
