- Director, writer, and actor Harold Ramis ("Animal House," "Caddyshack," "Stripes," "Ghostbusters," "Analyze This," "Groundhog Day") has brought us some of the funniest moments in modern film. Join him for an idiosyncratic journey through his favorite film comedies and his incredible career.
This program was recorded on November 4, 2009.
I’m 2001 I met Ramis Harold in a park on 86th st. We spoke for a while unbeknownst who I was speaking to. Lol I was going through a rough time in my life at that time. I was with my kids in the park he had his kids. He said I don’t have time to take your kids and mine out cause of work but gave me $50 said take the kids out for dinner. I was broke at that time that $50 was like $500 to me. I will never forget his generosity. Of course later on I figured out who he was. Rest in peace
That's really cool. You always hope the people whose work you admire are actually nice people.
We didn’t deserve Harold Ramis, but damnit I’m so glad we had him!
The Absolute Best.
He is so amazing he got to be in a movie after he died. Amazing.
Only wish he produced more
AMEN! 🙏🏻♥️
❤
RIP Harold we all miss you
Es correcto 😔😔😔

Thank you Harold for ghostbusters
I can't count the number of times I've watched this since 2014. Brilliant, kind man. I could listen to him for hours talking about the nuances of comedy. He knows it, he gets it, he can craft it.
A really humble man. It's very refreshing to see someone like that, who has so little, in the way of ego....
Especially someone from Hollywood.
He always seemed to be a very genuine individual. I appreciate that quality.
And considering he helped make one of the greatest films of all time
You could say he isnt an Ego, he is an Egon
Him, Rick Moranis and John Candy seemed like such honest, humble down-to-earth, kind hearted human beings. It’s a shame we lost two out of the three😔😭
He was who he really was in his movies. I love that moment in "Stripes" when he makes, hand gestures and facial expressions as he listens to "Ox," talk about why he joined the Army.
One of my favorite movie moments. Agreed.
Join the army? Be all you can be, in the army.
@@MrStupidHead you couldn't choose a better alias for you?
I agree man , as a kid I loved that scene . Harold's face expression when Ox describes he joined to lose some weight,
Especially after they get there heads shaved but Ziskey still has his and John also
One of the best comedic minds ever... greatly missed... RIP Harold
+Dallas Nyberg what did he die of he says that his dad is 94
+robert szvetics Hi Robert, he died of complications of Inflammatory vasculitis - he passed on the 14th February 2014... he was 69.
Dallas Nyberg what a shame he was a nice guy also cheers dallas
+Dallas Nyberg did he outlive his father?
Larry Medina His father died in 2009, so yes.
This lovely man gave me the most quotable happiness of my childhood. And then, because he wasn't quite done yet, in early adulthood he blessed me with Groundhog Day! Impossibly brilliant, it's still very hard to accept that he's gone.
I miss Harold so much. He was a brilliant man with amazing talents. His films were, and still are a big part of my life. Thank you, Harold for making me laugh. I will cherish your movies forever. R.I.P. Egon.
"65 is not that old I think, my father is 94 ..."
Oh, Harold ...
Rest in Peace.
RIP Harold! Ghostbusters will never be the same.
Harold was just a super great guy. He made the world better by being in it.
This showed up in my recommendations right after I saw Ghostbusters: Afterlife. As much as I love Ghostbusters, Stripes, Groundhog Day, I realize I've never just listened to Harold Ramis talk about movies like this. What a wonderful presentation.
Every single time I watch Ghostbusters, I fall into a depression remembering that Harold Ramis is gone.
Same here. I can’t even watch the afterlife trailer without tearing up.
I was 5 when I first watched Ghostbusters and I remember saying to my brother I like the guy with the glasses cos I thought he was cool.
@@hollytaylor6794 Afterlife did what I was dreading they were going to do. Not nearly as terrible as the 2016 Ghostbusters, but it felt hollow and 15 years too late.
@@jamesdurnford1221 I remember playing Ghostbusters as a kid and no one wanted to be Egon, and I was like "you guys are missing out"
@@snavs420 I got the real Ghostbusters Egon for my 9th Birthday from my Mum and my brother got me a Slimer, I was very happy.
"I looked at the trap, Ray!"
-Egon Spengler
I've watched that movie and that clip god knows how many times, and I still laugh every single time he says that line. The timing is just head of a pin perfect between rays warning and him dropping that statement.
Harold Ramis's passing to myself and others was devastating, I grew up with his incredible talents as a boy of. 12 in 81 watching caddyshack on HBO, and Stripes in middleschool, to ghosbusters in highschool and groundhog day during my military years. On that submarine so many many miles from home we would watch these movies and Harold Ramis brought me back home however briefly he did it and those memories to this day makes this now old man tear up in joy and laughter. Thank you Mr Ramis you are truly missed and beloved to this day.
I don’t think there will ever be another Writer like him. He could write anything and pretty much did. Knew how to make people laugh and the people that would play the characters that he created perfectly. Not only could he write, he could act and direct just as well. Very few people have the talent to write as many movies/ tv shows/ skits as he did, not to mention have the comedic timing to pull it off himself if need be both in front of and behind the camera... sometimes all 3. He kept his humble nature and kindness throughout. Never letting any of it go to his head. Very few in Hollywood like him.
God bless him.
The way he addresses the applause and admiration at the opening immediately reminded me of his short part as a doctor in 'As Good As It Gets' when he is thanked by Helen Hunt after a favorable report on her son's diagnosis. "Okay, okay, thank you...I'm good."
R.I.P. Harold Ramis
I watch Groundhog once a year & laugh & cry for 90 minutes.
Thank you, my beautiful boy!
God, he's always smiling. How beautiful
Nicest, kindest guy, funniest writer. gave me great advice when I started out.
I was fortunate to hear him speak at Columbia College Chicago Film School. It was the best insight into comedy I've ever heard. He truly was brilliant. So humble. So smart. Relaxed. I just loved him.
This guy gave us the gift that keeps on giving… Groundhog Day. It’s a simple act of genius that teaches us all we need to know to have a happy life.
Wonderfully articulated Dave. GD is one of my two absolutely favourite films. A supremely profound film.
He brought us caddyshack, vacation, Ghostbusters, groundhog day and many more. Legend. Sadly, Hollywood cant make comedy anymore without fear of offending someone.
Sadly conservatives are weird and act like cock blockers didn't come out in 2018
RIP Harold Ramis "Don't Cross The Streams"
I loved this. what a great and talented man
You are greatly missed Mr Ramis. You made a tremendous impact on my childhood and made me realise the geekiest looking guy could still be cool, instructive and hilarious. RIP Egon♥️
I love Harold Ramis ❤❤❤I wish so badly he was still with us. RIP good sir.
His father was ninety four??? Why the hell couldn't Harold have lived that long too??! T_T
diabetes. need to lose weight
@@wickedhouston5538 he died from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis
@@ramuneingproductions and that is caused by obesity
@@wickedhouston5538 yea but it wasn't diabetes 😭
@@wickedhouston5538 which is interesting because he really wasnt that obese
Hey Harold. I have the same illness you had. It isn’t pleasant, but I’m honored in a strange way that I have something in common with my favorite Ghostbuster, director, and writer. I miss you and it isn’t fair. You’d be proud of the new GB movie. Thank you for my childhood and for being an awesome person.
He would?
@@mlovmo I think so, but I obviously have no way of knowing. It’s a figure of speech. Don’t be an ass.
@@johnnypiss Sorry for the sarcasm (which went right over your head, obviously), but the remake sucked donkey balls.
@@mlovmo yeah, it does. I wasn’t talking about that.
God bless him!
Such a lovely, nice, generous man he was. Always smiling. And it was a genuine smile too :)
+ViceCityVacation I was thinking the same thing. I think he was a beautiful person, and it came across through the lens. And like you said, that smile was so genuine.
he was so lovely and charming! amazing human being! RIP Harold...
Analyze this was his most underrated comedy. It was amongst his best work. RIP Harold
I first saw him on SCTV as a kid growing up in the early 80’s in Toronto where SCTV was broadcast on two stations so it was on nearly every day it seemed. He was a comedic genius, and his small parts on SCTV were so memorable.
Arsenic and Old Lace.. man oh man, i never thought in my wildest dreams, that my Grandma would have been the one to turn me on to this glorious piece of film magic and a goddamn advanced course in how you truly make a comedy that will stand the test of time, no matter what generation you may have grown up in..
Groundhogs day…one of my favorite movies. Bill Murray and Harold Ramis hit it out of the park! Pure magic!
I am watching GB2 as I write this comment, so nice to see him on screen, great character actor, thanks for the laughs, rip. I could use one of his designs to hunt for his manifestation out of the ethereal plane ..:-)
I can go on about how he's gone and how we miss him, but I wanna talk about his hair! I'm jealous of that crown of lushiness with those waves, thickness and just over all... Uhg! 😍😍😭😭
We miss you, Harold Ramis. Comedy will never be the same. You set a standard, and the tone for an entire generation. Thank you sir, rest easy.
Been thinking of him recently. Miss him dearly. Happy birthday, Harold. ♥️
RIP Harold . It's good to know both Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner still here with us.
No kidding, that's the most beautiful smile I have EVER seen.
So hard to believe this is the same person as Egon Spangler. Seems totally different.
Harold Ramis = Genius!
I never seen this guy without a smile. He was a great talent and I wish I could have met him.
Would've loved to meet this man. He was one of the architects of my childhood
Analyze this was his most underrated Film. It was amongst his best work. RIP Harold
There are a handful of people who have passed that I miss in particular for one reason or another. Johnny Carson, Paul Newman, Roger Ebert, George Harrison, Lou Reed, Leslie Nielsen, John Ritter, John Hughes, Robin Williams and Harold Ramis are a few.
I'll never forget the first time I saw him. It was on an episode of SCTV. I was 10 years old and I stopped what I was doing and watched this peculiar, really funny guy. He was doing something I'd never seen before and I was transfixed by it. The comedy bar for me was set to exactly what he did. Years later when I talked about the funniest guy I'd ever seen, many didn't know who I was talking about. I could say he was the 3rd guy in 'Ghostbusters' but in that, he played the straight man. Meanwhile Ramis was going from one success to another more often behind the scenes, writing and directing some of the funniest movies ever. At the time I never thought to look at the credits. He was still a part of my life though I didn't even know it. When I discovered this fact, I was still hoping he would spend as much time in front of the camera.
He was and is a comedic genius. And maybe a bit more than that as well.
By the way, did they really have the speakers that loud in the room?
Sundays in the late 1960s were, for me, some of the best times of my life. My father was Catholic and my mother was Methodist. I guess that meant something back then because it almost prevented them from getting married in 1959. Well, after 10 years they weren't getting along so well. To get some space and return to their roots, my dad took me to Catholic church on Sunday mornings and my mom took my brother to the Methodist church in which she had grown up. The Catholic church was just across town, but the Methodist was much farther away. As a result, my dad and I got home more than an hour before they did, and we spent that time eating popcorn and watching The Three Stooges on TV. MY dad and I don't get along any more, but I remember the good times.
Thank you for sharing this priceless moment!
He said his characters aren't losers, they were rebels who won by refusing to play by others rules.
Wonderful man...terrific director & writer/actor of some of my beloved comedies: Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Stripes, Analyze this, As good as it gets..
Harold had the gift of making us all laugh
We'll never have a genius like him. He is truly missed. Rip Harold.
and now I'm crying again
I could listen to him for hours. What a loss, RIP.
You uploaded the day after his passing. Thank you!
Rip to this legend ❤
Year One was the movie that introduced me to him. RIP Harold Ramis.
This is awesome. Wish they'd do this with all hall of fame comedians
Harol Ramis & The Chicago Humanities Festival ROCK!
As good as it gets!
This made me laugh and wish Harold Ramis were still with us.
You know an audience is easy to please when they applaud the statement "*blank* is a good movie" multiple times over.
Kerry Grant breaking the 4th wall was what made that scene funny. Some rules are meant to be broken. We would never have dead pool if not for scenes like that.
I loved the "Crazy Legs" skit that Harold did on Second City Television show. That was hilarious. But I. Liked all the shows that he acted in and directed.
Rest In Peace Ghostbuster Harold Ramis we will miss you
RIP Harold, afterlife did you justice, even with bringing you back. glad they ran it past your family first. it makes it a really special event. Spengler Forever
Any idea when this was recorded? It was posted a day after he passed away. RIP - what a great and understated creative and comedian of our time.
1:24 "Hey Billy" ... Bill Murray chillin' with ol' Pals!
+lah lahh It's highly doubtful that that was Bill Murray he was saying hi to. Ramis and Murray were not on speaking terms at the time this video was recorded in 2009; I don't think they ever really reconciled until shortly before Ramis' death.
@@adamzanzie Yup. And can you even imagine Bill Murray showing up for something like this?
Harold was an utter legend, and he is missed very much. Writer of Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Vacation, Stripes and many other classic comedy movies.
Harold Ramis is immortal because he lives in us all.
RIP Egon 💜
I honestly prefer the cheese shop sketch over the parrot shop. No wonder I adore Harold!❤
We miss you, Harold. We miss you.
So sad his father passed 20days after this recording. Then Harold was lost only 5yrs later.... time flys live life it can end so quick
What a great hour and twenty minutes. Thanks
🎵Happy Birthday To U WHOO
Happy Birthday Two U WHOO
Happy Birthday Dear Egon
Happy Birthday ✌️ U🎵 WHOO Happy Birthday and Rest In Peace Harold Ramis. U were amazing legend. I love Ghostbusters. All of them. I love Science, too. Smart. Science is so amazing. That's what Ash always say. Your a good man. I'll never stop watching Ghostbusters, never! May the Peace be with u Dr. Egon Spengler. From Harlingen Texas. November 21, 1944 - February 24, 2014
November 21, 2022 through November 21, 3022
Monty Python and The Goons! YES! I love both those! ^_^
I wish I would have met him , we worked at the same psych hospital doing the same job 60 years apart in St . Louis
Comedy Is Almost Illegal These Days Though... You're Dearly Missed Harold.
Miss Harold.
So wonderful. Harold, you are missed xo me
I love Analyze This. It's one of the funniest movies of the 90s.
He’s still here in a spirit
The seven idiots who put thumb down for this video, absolutely has no concept of Comedy of humor and definitely doesn't know Harold Ramis...
RIP... you are and will always be missed...
They don't understand that he is a comedy legend.
He was a psych tech at the same hospital that I am a psych tech now at in St Louis. He worked there while he was in school here in St Louis
nice, rockin that grateful dead vibe =)
Egon but not forgotten
Rim shot...
Stripes and Ghostbusters are my favorite and funniest movies with him in it 🤣 😂
Missing him always😭
Harold seemed like such a nice guy.
forever missed
He's delightful.
These were the times of intelligent comedies. We gave that up for reality TV and Honey Boo Boo. We now revel in our stupidity and call it American exceptionalism.
God rest his soul
rip legend
Thank you, Harold!!!
Death takes greatest. Sad but true.
I miss harold😢😢😭😭
