@@CancelHornyCulture a great UA-camr who mainly does analysis on marvel comics. He has a great video on Ultimate Spider-Man, his villains, the one above all, Marvel Infinity, and Speedball. His wall video video is part joke and part serious analysis.
Spider-man as a New Yorker, rooting for an underdog team, getting no respect after he saves the day? This is a better understanding of Spider-man than most adaptations these days...
"A normal happy high schools student until an incredible blunder during a chemistry experiment turned him into a wall" And what, might I ask, was this experiment that somehow turned a human into a brick wall?
Walls becoming sentient and mobile and giving the batting team the advantage by running under the ball was common enough back then to warrant a passage in the rule book? And all it says about this is that it's not funny? No penalty or anything? WTF, 1970s?
The reason Spidey used word balloons instead of speech is that this is from a show intended to teach kids to read, so his dialogue was shown as text for the young viewers to read for themselves. Incidentally, not only is the umpire played by Morgan Freeman, but the outfielder is played by the voice of Fritz the Cat (yes, THAT Fritz the Cat, the X-rated animated movie)
Are there any Spideys in the theater tonight? GET 'EM UP AGAINST THE WALL! There's him in the spotlight, he don't look right to me! GET HIM UP AGAINST THE WALL!
The cool thing about the Spidey skits- everyone in the adult cast got to be the villain at least once. Jim Boyd was the best - The Wall, the Yeti, the Birthday Bandit, and some of you might remember the Can Crusher.
Still the best live-action adaptation of Spider-Man ever! I wonder which fading former A-list star will play The Wall when the MCU gets around to adapting him into the Tom Holland movies?
@@sandal_thong8631 I got your joke and I joked back. 👏🏽 My “difficulties” brought you pleasure while being a spelling and grammar Nazis. I’m very happy to have had provided purpose to your life, 13 years after the fact at that.
the S man segments used to be the ONLY thing I disliked abt the Electric Company as a child. actually. Now I find them funny and awesome as an adult. I was born in 1975 but the show ran well into the 80s where I lived. I recall it in detail, and find that watching clips now remember every word! I adored this whole show, so many great people.
DEFINITELY one of THE GREATEST and FUNNIEST installments of "Spidey's Super Stories" of all-time for _The Electric Company._ Like, seriously... EVERYONE was AT - THEIR - BEST on this one -- Skip, Jim, June (or whoever the Short Circus narrator was), and especially Morgan!
This sketch first appeared in season four and narrated by June "Julie" Angela. It would be the last sketch before the "That's All" song on the series finale of TEC.
I cried when he brutally murdered Morgan Freeman like that, so glad that Morgan Freeman was able to overcome death itself in order to keep the ballpark in check.
The walls camouflage at baseball stadiums easily makes him of of the strongest spiderman villains
Even if someone uses thermal vision it's hot enough during baseball season that he still blends in, and 8f he is found, he's faster than the average wall
Some even say that he can move faster than the speed of walls
@@Solo_man69 he can also jump higher than walls

"it's about sending a message"
@@untiecries9174 “DON’T FUCK WITH THE WALL BITCH!”

1:59 the sole line that caused the creation of the entire character. They just wanted to have a character say this because it sounded clever.
the way he delivers that line is so perfect tho
Because it was
well if it isn't the wall crawling *creep!* here's one *wall* you'll never *crawl* you *red and blue buffoon*
It’s so satisfying to be watching this 40-odd years later and actually being able to read what Spider-Man is thinking and saying
Glad your enjoying your childhood
I love the implication that a wall has come to life enough times, AND tried to come onto a baseball field specifically to make it an official rule.
He’s the nemesis of Morgan freeman and baseball players world wide
🤣
Who else is here to see the masterpiece that inspired Alex Lennon’s Magnum Opus.
Idk who that?

Yep just watched the video it honestly almost made me cry
Decades later and still an absolute work of art... a true masterclass of drama theater.
"I can be pretty stupid when I wanna be!"
Morgan Freeman can make ANY line a classic!
That's Morgan freeman!?!!
Don't know which is more amazing. The fact Morgan Freeman is in this or that it was written by Joss Whedon's dad.
Specifically Jods Whedons dads wife was credited for this episode actually
The Marvel universe is a fucked up place to live. People magically turning into walls and shit during chemistry experiments.
+Swordswoman Later, they changed his origin story,, so that he was bitten by a radioactive wall.
at least its not marvel ruins
Or turn into a portal dimension creature because of a bagel
Language.

I hated that part with the umpire. If I had been Spidey, I'd have given up crimefighting.
@@sha11235umps are still notorious for being awful
Let's Go Yankees!!!
Honestly the Wall looking up at Spider-Man's speech bubble when he talks is hilarious
His damn smile is just the cherry on top lmao
@@FookMi69and don’t forget that Spider-Man is holding out his hotdog like a microphone
Even Spidey is no match for Morgan Freeman and his epic voice. Give him his own Marvel comic series.
He’s so powerful only a wall could stop him
It's not about the wall Spider-man
It's about the METS!
The Mets baby the Mets it's all about the Mets
@@markx322 "NO ONE CAN STOP THE WALL!"
since when SPIDER MAN IS A METS' FANS
"A normal happy high schools student until an incredible blunder during a chemistry experiment turned him into a wall" And what, might I ask, was this experiment that somehow turned a human into a brick wall?
He got bit by a radioactive wall.
Of course, how could I be so stupid. Now it makes sense.
it clearly states in the rule book that that makes perfect sense
In the comic version of this, it's shown that while building a brick wall it falls on him and for some unknown reason melds into his DNA?
He was experimenting with brickion particles.
"he's so dumb he's trying to eat a hotdog with no mouth!" hahaha
that's a classic...lol
Walls becoming sentient and mobile and giving the batting team the advantage by running under the ball was common enough back then to warrant a passage in the rule book? And all it says about this is that it's not funny? No penalty or anything? WTF, 1970s?
Fun fact: This would be the first time Spiderman has faced a comic book villain.
Wow this is really cool I wonder if anyone made an hour long video essay about the deep psychology of the wall

Awesome, Morgan Freeman knows Batman AND Spiderman.
When I was a kid I was so scared of the wall & rooting for web head to save the day. Closest thing to MCU we had
Marvel needs to give this guy a 12 part maxi-series...along with some spin-off bricks.
He became a series regular in the last season of The electric company
He became a regular in the last season of The electric company
Across the spiderverse forgot about this one
Believe it or not this Spidey was actually in the original Spider-Verse comic. He kept trying to teach the other Spider-Men proper grammar.
2:08 underrated moment
Great line from Morgan - "I can be pretty stupid when I want to be !"
I'm with stupid.
"what is the wall's weakness?"
"it's morgan freeman"
"Your up against the wall and i'm the fucking wall" - a bulldozer
Imagine having to actually say and think “holy shit it’s a wall!..THE Wall!”
"Here's one waaaall you'll never craaawl you red and blue bafoon!"
He should be in Beyond the Spuderverse lol
he was actually considered to be into it. they went with the spot instead.
"He's so dumb, he's trying to eat a hotdog with no mouth!"
My favorite part was when The Wall said the best line in the comic its Wallin Time and Walled Morgen Freeman truly the most comic of all time
"I wonder who won."
Not the Mets, boy I'll tell ya......and that's coming from a Mets fan :(
Remember the character on _Lost_ who was a Red Sox fans, and didn't believe they won the World Series while he was on the island?
"I can be pretty stupid when I want to be!"
When is Sony Pictures going to give The Wall his own movie?
1:20 Okay. He got me! I had no idea he was there the entire time.
This version of Spidey (ECU) should have been in Across the Spiderverse
There is actually concept art of him in spider-verse so who knows, he may come back.
Here's one wall you'll never crawl
yea I miss the eletric company however I bought the best of on dvd its still funny to this day.
Are there any Spideys in the theater tonight? GET 'EM UP AGAINST THE WALL! There's him in the spotlight, he don't look right to me! GET HIM UP AGAINST THE WALL!
The Brick is what he calls his sidekick.
🗿
RIP Jim Boyd (the Wall)
:(
Derrick Threex such a great 👍 underrated character actor.
Thank you for this gem.
I remember as a kid, that I only watched the Electric Company just for Spiderman.
"He's so dumb, he's trying to eat a hot dog with no mouth"
"I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye."
Joss Whedon's dad worked on this
The man, the myth, the legend!
THE WALL NOBODY ON EARTH CAN MAKE YOU FALL
0:06 What does this even mean? "Nobody knows who you are"?? Who WOULDN'T know Spidey, especially during this time period
It means nobody knows his secret identity which ig would still be Peter Parker in this show
DOH! lol
TLDR: You will never crawl the wall
I had Pink Floyds The Wall in my head during the whole episode.
Damn, that routine fly-ball sure turned into a homerun in a hurry.
The Electric Company! Loved watching those Spidy segments as a kid! lol
ITS ALL ABOUT THE METS
This guy better be in beyond the spiderverse
"Yay! a free home run! you're our hero!"
-opposing team
2:06 My favorite part. Took me about 40 years to see this again. Thanks! {:-)
Marvel Comics should print these IRL with at least 50 variant covers.
The cool thing about the Spidey skits- everyone in the adult cast got to be the villain at least once.
Jim Boyd was the best - The Wall, the Yeti, the Birthday Bandit, and some of you might remember the Can Crusher.
that devastating blow at 1:23 was god damn terrifying, it really makes you wonder how it kept it's rating
Even back in the old days Spiderman is a thankless job
Can’t even watch the Mets without a Wall coming to life and getting you kicked out
Finally. A character that can beat Gold Experience Requiem
Still the best live-action adaptation of Spider-Man ever! I wonder which fading former A-list star will play The Wall when the MCU gets around to adapting him into the Tom Holland movies?
Sorry, he didn't make the cut. Spidey fought the Scaffold, instead.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He has the talent to play a wall.
Hard to believe this was once Morgan Freeman's biggest gig...
1:44 "Tough tamales, four eyes!"
45 years ago today, this wonderful show went off the air,but we had reruns until 1985.
Anyone here because of that one video of his origins
Why wasn’t the wall in the PS4 Spider-Man game, would’ve been the greatest villain spidey ever faced

Another brick in the wall
Man..... everybody was doing soo many drugs in the 70s
The WALL!!!!! Bwahahahaha!!!! Oh man, I nearly lost it!
Honestly they did Spidey a favor by forcing him to not watch the rest of a Mets game
The Wall should have been one of those "new characters" doing tryouts on David Letterman.
Tune in next time to see Spider-Man take on "The Final Cut"!
He’ll also need to fight “The dark side of the moon”
“He’s so dumb that he’s trying to eat a hotdog without a mouth”
I’ll give him this, The Wall can make jokes.
Tom Seaver of the Mets was pitching to Steve Sausen of the Padres.
A little bit of trivia, this Spiderman skit and several others were written for The Electric Company by Tom Whedon, Joss Whedon's father.
I love how the infamous line at 1:57 even has spiderman holding the hotdog like a microphone for the wall to speak into.
This sketch first appeared in season four and narrated by June "Julie" Angela. It would be the last sketch before the "That's All" song on the series finale of TEC.
if el muerto, who appeared in 2 comic issues total, can get a feature film, the wall certainly can too
SpiderMan turns 50 years old this month! Happy 50th Spidey! :-D
I cried when he brutally murdered Morgan Freeman like that, so glad that Morgan Freeman was able to overcome death itself in order to keep the ballpark in check.
Looks like action really is his only reward.
It's not about the money, spiderman.. it's about the mets!
The Wall must've been a reject from Metal Gear Solid 3's Cobra Unit.
it's not always about the money, Spider-Man.
It's about the METS BABY, LOVE THE METS, LOVE THE METS BABY, LET'S GO BABY, LET'S GO METS!!!!
Well that was an "off the wall" adventure starring your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. 😃

Makes no sense posting this but ok lol
it sais right here in the rule book that thats not funny
The Wall obviously joined Freedom Force, the group of ex-villains that works for the government.
