UHF (3/12) Movie CLIP - Stanley Gets Fired (1989) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When R.J. (Kevin McCarthy) misplaces his file, he blames Stanley (Michael Richards) and fires him.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
UHF is the film debut of comedy rock satirist Weird Al Yankovic, who also co-wrote the screenplay. George Newman (Yankovic) and his friend Bob (David Bowe from The Cable Guy) are fired from their jobs at Burger World. So George decides to take over Channel 62, a failing local TV station that his uncle Harvey (Stanley Brock) won in a poker game. George turns it around into an overnight success after letting the janitor, Stanley Spadowski (Michael Richards from Seinfeld), host a kid's show. George then fills the broadcast day with bizarre programming, bringing the ratings up and saving the station. Soon, rival station CEO R.J. Fletcher (Kevin McCarthy) of Channel 8 threatens to sabotage the successful station, and George must come up with a way to save it. Only loosely constructed around this storyline, UHF is mostly a series of TV, movie, and music parodies strung together and played for cheap laughs. UHF also stars Victoria Jackson, Emo Philips, and Fran Drescher.

There's this great blink-and-you-miss-it joke at 1:11.

For a split second, he thinks he's had the door slammed in his face and he turns and starts cursing under his breath, thinking that he's walking away from the door... then he looks up and realizes he's still in the room.

You can't write that! I could only be ad-libbed!! XD

[CometMedalChavez]

After being fired, Stanley moved to New York City, moved into an apartment and changed his name to Cosmo Kramer.

[thejellyranger]

After watching this, I feel like screaming “HEY! These floors are dirty as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!”

[cafeterialoca]

I was babysitting a kid, and I put this movie on, and this moment got him so, so angry. It made me so happy.

[xennialsxberner]

I wonder how Kramer would've reacted to RJ Fletcher. Stanley was like a quieter, geekier version of him.

[jasonwilkins]

I seen this movie over 30 years ago and I say the same quote after finding something after I lose it!

[nemonucliosis]

A lot of Stanley's mannerisms and movements were using for Richard Seinfeld show as Kramer.

[mcgannahanskyjellyfetti]

Poor Stanley. He got fired for nothing...😔

[dexx]

R.J. just kicked an innocent man to the curb.

[williamlydon]

I'm glade that rat got what he had coming to him.

[MichaelBrookham]

It is almost obvious that the old man put the file on his chair himself, as an excuse to have Stanley fired.

[RThyrring]

“I guess you know why I called you in here?”

“… because you’re lonely?” 🤣

[bobbackward]

The sad part is, I've met real-life rich people who are just like R.J.

[misterninetyseven]

Poor Kevin McCarthy. Didn't get the Hollywood spotlight he deserved

[CosmicKenny]

1:36 Ha Ha Ha, I fired a guy for no reason!

[Grgaforniateezy]

This was right before Richie Aprile got sentenced to 10 yrs in the can

[brett-]

He looks so different as stanley spadowski, than he does as Cosmo Kramer

[ajoseph]

Kramer before Jerry moved in across the hall.

[coktoe]

[datruthman]
