This reminds me of a mushroom trip. But instead its fishing. The uncomfortableness of the cold, the non-necessity of the whole thing, but the commitment and optimism of the situation. Fumbling for snacks, awkward silences the whole thing
Yes! Visiting all the indie video stores, striking out because invariably there was only ever one copy. On that note, I'm convinced there is only one copy in existence and all the stores passed it around and shared it, lol. Anyway, I finally had to get a friend to mail the series to me from across the country. All part of the fun, right?
How cool is this??!! One of my favorite actors....so humble and dynamic, in my home state! Loved his Mainer accent telling that story! Complete with LL Bean boots and probably most the gear : )
Holy moly this is great. I remember when these episodes came out 20 years ago on public access. I think it was originally called Fishing With John Lurie. We used to sing the theme all the time.I think in one episode JL goes fishing with Tom Waits.
I used to watch this over 20 years ago on public access, too. I have the full box set on DVD, but didn't feel like taking it out. So great to find it on UA-cam. Best show ever!
When I watched Platoon I was teary eyes when they see Elias running from the VC ,when he falls and then gets back up then he raises his arms to the heavens, very sad powerful scene, he should have won an Oscar for that film i think he was Nominated , Tom Berenger was also fantastic .
Just D1z Fishing with John. Only a handful of episodes. Jim Jarmusch, Dennis Hopper, Matt Dillon, Tom Waits, Dafoe. That may be it. Short series and pricelessly ridiculous. Waits gets boat sick.
@@t.austinsabel479 boat sick, and pissy as hell. hungover is what. and held a grudge for years apparently. cuz he looked kinda wussy on camera i guess. "you set me up!"(down by law line)
Except for the 6'-5''... Willem's sure gotta lotta Chuck Conners look in him. Had the series not long after it came out & loaned it out to a coworker, who prided himself as a great Texas Bass Master. Next day he brought it back flopped it on my desk & said... ''What in the cornbread chitty ta chaw hell was that all about?'' Later in the day I'd taunt his bewildered ass with that little theme tune - ''Fishing with John''
i am almost sure they did this in one day. what do you all think? watch Smoke and Blue in the face back to back. check the years to see witch came out first. on January 19th John and Willem died...... of starvation. i cry laughing every time i watch it with someone new. first time i saw it on PBS was with friends doing shrooms Bob Ross was on then this new show came on.. hit hard
thekino i get it. that was so dang funny. watched it with my girl.. she did not get the sarcasm.. she thought it was all real. painting with john is art on art... trlppy. take a hand full of mushrooms before watching painting wih john.
Man, I hate to be negative but John is kind of a clumsy whiner. It’s like watching a kid fish with his dad, Willem comes off as so much more mature and capable.

Well Willem Dafoe was at the legendary Ice Bowl NFL game.
Genuinely the best reality tv show of all time
This feels like watching old videos of a camping trip between your dad and his friends or something. Incredibly soothing
I woke up this morning with the theme song in my head. Havent watched this for 15 years. Love it
What show is this? I'm really interested!
Melanie, you are not alone. It just popped in my head...which led me here
That theme tune is addictive, I can listen to it many times but it always makes me smile.
The first line I can't really categorize, but "out on the water" is pure Lou Reed
I remember back in the early nineties I had to try so hard to find vhs tapes of this show; now it's so easy!
BUT WORTH IT..Surely..2paraphrase.'Sometimes In this Crusty mine.@.y.t.'you do find a real gem.'..-Take care lol from .nz.

"I get kinda sweet when it comes to bedtime." I would cuddle with you any day of the week, Dafoe. Embrace the infinite!
had that line in my head for YEARS like...20 years?
He's got a huge pecker on him, too! It's like a rhino shlong.
Right? He can cuddle me anytime 😅😏😍
Sad to see two experts perish in the wilderness. This is nature at its finest
This is very calming, I'm glad JL did this show, every episode is just stellar
"These are real men... doing real things." 3:23
ahahaha , bet the film crew brought out the junk and set up the shelter , most men are pansies :>}
@@bonniecondict5250 bet they were out there for a half a day, no nights, packed up and went back to NYC
@@bonniecondict5250 gee, you figured that out all by your lonesome, Hon? Aren't you the sharp one!!
@@kleinequietboykleinequietb7126 Quiet Boy ! :>}
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"These are real men, doing real things!" Can't beat narration like that!
love it. still have the fishing with john soundtrack in my car. seriously.

Willem is one of my favorite actors too.
RIP Willem and John...
What?
Priscilla C. Matthew must be drinking again?
@@Chief2Moon neither of yall watched the full episode
"Died" on my birthday
Such a loss. They are missed.
Brings back old memories of me ice fishing in Maine with my papa as a little girl.😊
Defoe is a Wisconsin man so you know he’s about that ice fishing life. He wouldn’t freeze his own hand...
Well he was am attendant at the legendary Ice Bowl game.
@@rustyrelicsfarm2406that’s so awesome I could NOT imagine being a fan during that game.
This is the lighthouse
Came here to say this. LMAO.
Yer fond of me lobster, ain't ye?

The Prequel!
Best video ever made. I stand by this.
so true king xoxo
i get kinda sweet when it comes to bedtime, haha.....
cheese on cheese,

im crying. lol

It's on Tom Waits' yt-channel.
I used to watch this over 20 years ago on public access, too. I have the full box set on DVD, but didn't feel like taking it out. So great to find it on UA-cam. Best show ever!
I just recently learned how much time Willem Dafoe spends in my home state of Maine....hope I run into him someday! That would be a dream
Ok despite this, I can't wait to see "The Lighthouse". I hope John stays home.
HA! I described The Lighthouse trailer to my husband, and he instantly sang, "Fishing..... with John...." Bet Dafoe reached back to this.
When I watched Platoon I was teary eyes when they see Elias running from the VC ,when he falls and then gets back up then he raises his arms to the heavens, very sad powerful scene, he should have won an Oscar for that film i think he was Nominated , Tom Berenger was also fantastic .
This is so great. What a pleasure to come across
Here because of this HBO show Painting with John
Same.
where has this been all of my life?
Check out the Tom Waits episode.
@@RewindPlay89 What show is this?! Totally interested!

Just came here from Open Pike Night. Magical
This one and the Tom Waits episodes are gold
There is only 1 Tom Waits episode
Such a fun series...
"...wife hit it with the caaaahh."
Damn I didn't know 'The Lighthouse' had a prequel.
thank you yt algorithm for putting this in my most recommended.
That cheese on cheese bit had to be a Waiting for Gadot reference
I was thinking the same thing it’s too perfect
this is fucking golden
I love the third narrator. That voice..
Robb Webb. 60 Minutes and lots of other stuff. As John Lurie put it, "The Michael Jordan of voiceover."
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS.
i love this ! especially the sheer terror in the announcer's voice v!
on pbs and later what was a great channel IFC now just junk. this episode cracked me up so much. miss dinner for five..
This is awesome Mr. Lurie!
I’m from Maine and Willem does a great Maine accent
“I don’t take those things for granted.” Lol
My favorite episode! Thank you!
Awesome show, come to Wisconsin and I’ll take you ice fishing.
Except for the 6'-5''... Willem's sure gotta lotta Chuck Conners look in him.

Willem has a house out on Thompson Lake, Maine. I go ice fishing there occasionally with some hope that ill see Willem out there on the ice.
Nights of delirium… if only they could catch some lobster
Yer fond of me lobster!!
"These are real men doing real things." The narrator is often funnier than Willem and John.
Willem Dafoe is so fucking beautiful.
He is my biggest celebrity crush and no one gets it. John Lurie is coming in close though lol
@@sambadace Finally someone understands that Willem is attractive LMAO
R.I.P. Willem Dafoe 😭😭😭😭
Bro he’s not dead what are you talking about
@@theonewhocooks111watch the end. They both “die.”
YES! Best ever FWJ intro ever!
i am almost sure they did this in one day. what do you all think? watch Smoke and Blue in the face back to back. check the years to see witch came out first. on January 19th John and Willem died...... of starvation. i cry laughing every time i watch it with someone new. first time i saw it on PBS was with friends doing shrooms Bob Ross was on then this new show came on.. hit hard
Awesome video !
“Ya know, I’m something of a fisherman myself”
9:00 - I wonder how that yellow cloth backdrop came. That, one could get only from the shops near some temples in Southern India.
Brilliant add on
they got it, very nice discount, street bazaar, Thailand. episode 5 and 6.
Man I was really rooting for them ):
this was made before cameras
Thanks /tv/, good rec.
I used to watch this all the time . But it’s only now I realize I’m high.,
here because of the criterion collection
Prequel to the light house
Why does John look like handsome squidward
IM WHEEZING LMAOOO
Dude this ending is too much lol
He sounds like the narrator guy who used to do the NFL highlights back in the 60's!
Best episode
Imagine that. Fishing and camping with the Green Goblin.
This is like Alone, except more people died.
I always wondered what happened to Dafoe?!!
This narration man 😂
How long have we been on this rock? Five weeks? Three days?
LOL
@14:00 no Willem, he wanted to use the dog to get his hands warm but the dog realized this and ran away before he could
"These are real men; doing real things". LOL!
I think they should have read "Moby Dick" to each other each night.
Pretty typical ice fishing trip, tbh, done it a million times.
Willem Dafoe is the fucking man!
People have the power to
Sadly he won't be nominated again for this big-budget extravaganza.
Fishing with John? More like surviving with John lol went borderline Lighthouse there for a minute
Felt like watching “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”
They've only consumed melted snow since they ran out of cheese crackers 2 days ago.
John has the sexiest lips!!!
Okay so I'm not crazy in thinking the same thing
@@LumbChu those lips hav haunted me for forty three years, believe me!
He really does
'...nights of delirium.'

No one is going to explain the joke to you.
Not Johns idea
Never gets old 😆
Car seat Headrest brought me here
how come?
Observationalism I think he mentioned it on Twitter
Whatever vessel takes you to this port.
Why this show needed the narrator from crime documentaries, I don't think I'll ever know.
thanks will
Weirdest L.L. Bean commercial ever.
This reminds me of Nanook of the North; he starved to death.
yes, the literary references run deep here.
Covid cure right here
Ah, don't mention that nonsense!
shoulda brought along some bacon, beans and eggs bruh
The part with the flag always scares the hell out of me
i like how they know some shit.
Velveeta cheese for the win
did they really sleep in there? that's wild
Died of starvation!! HAHA
The ending of this was rough dude hahahaha
How about Fishing with Lars Von Trier?
Doesn't have quite the same ring to it
I actually learned some things from this.
me too, specifically the "other person's armpit" thing for cold hands
