"But you're not crazy, you're mean. And this is just radio." That hits hard.
It’s funny because my company has a radio platoon and their corporals and sergeants are all ass holes for no reason at all
The general has enough juice to send him Point Barrow, Alaska.
Except it wasn’t just radio after Adrian was hanging with the enemy.
What a lot of out of work radio people want to say to the CEOs at iHeart, Cumulus, Audacy, Townsquare, and the other media companies.
@@AJ___USA someone yelled at them and made them cry so they feel like they are justified to make others miserable.
I like how the old man has a sense of humour than the stubborn young man.
That is because the "young man" is playing the part of an Army Sergeant Major perfectly and the General is definitely in the IDGAF stage.
@@williammitchell8247 Is that you John Wayne?
@gothicman03 ln other words a tight ass
Well, he sounds Texan, so that can help for the sense of humor.
Well he does have prostate problems
I love how after the general tells Dick he’s going to Guam and that he’s not crazy he’s mean. He has a little moment to himself after he turns the corner to laugh and appreciate Adrian’s remark about Dick and you can tell he agrees with him 110%. The reason he does this is because he couldn’t laugh at it after Adrian said it because he was right there getting water and Dick would’ve seen and heard him do that. The general was very smart and disciplined with his emotions. Respect.
It's like the guy in Beverly Hills Cop 2 who keeps yelling at Taggart, Foley and Rosewood during the film, the mayor keeps on giving him the bullets to fire until the very end where he fires him. In this film, this guy gets a measure of what it's like to be on the side of being yelled at especially after Adrian's "Dire Need of a blow job" joke.
@@GenGamesUniverse that guy was an A hole. He bully people in the BH Precinct he because thought they beneath him and better than him. He was right, he sucks as a cop, Leader and never listened to anyone but himself. The mayor did the right thing by firing Lutz and his protégé. And also should consider lucky that foley didn't screw him because if he did. He wish that he never met Foley
Your “insight” is actually incredibly obvious.
@@c0mputerExactly my thoughts. Lol Some people just comment with literal narration of events in the video. We all saw the video.
There really were generals like that … probably a few left. My dad was in the military and he admired the generals who treated him well. And a boss in general. Good bosses know what’s going on in their office - the bullies, the cheats, the ones who get all the work done but get no credit.
I love how Adrian asks the General about the show not for himself, but for the troops that are still out there because he realized what he did on the air made a difference.
I loved how the general was fair and honest to Cronauer and the asshole SGT Major. Cronauer broke some rules and had to go and even the general had to do what he had to do, but least the E-6 got shipped to Guam.
E-9
E-9 with a Silver Star
E-8 you mean.
@@patrickfullan9509 No. E-9.
@@johnforealdoe8999 you are correct... E-9 is a SGM or CSM. SGM is the rank, CSM is an assigned duty position.
RIP Noble Willingham (August 31, 1931 - January 17, 2004), aged 72
RIP J. T. Walsh (September 28, 1943 - February 27, 1998), aged 54
RIP Robin Williams (July 21, 1951 - August 11, 2014), aged 63
You will be remembered as legends.
Robin gets a lot of accolades for this and right so, but "Your not crazy. Your mean" is powerful in a whole different way.
Yes. Becausere after all these funny but direct insults, this is just a simple statement: After giving it some thoughts, I am convinced now, that you have a bad character.
"You're not crazy, you're mean" hits harder from 2016 onward. Everyone's like, "Those people are crazy!" Nah, they're just mean.
But SOME R CRAZY AND MEAN
@@marshamariner7897 That's worse.
RIP to Robin Williams and JT Walsh. Two amazing actors!!
To all three of those actors..

And Bruno Kirby

RIP Forest Whitaker's left eyelid.
The world is not a better place without Robin Williams.
look who his friend were. all the hollywood types know pedophiles and do nothing to speak out. chances are he was too.
It does mean there is more cocaine for the rest of us
I had the displeasure of having to deal with R. Williams, twice. Always had to get the last word in, stole other people's jokes, was never 'wrong'. Better he's gone.
@Derek My reply was deleted and i didn't even swear... im sure youre 100% on the right side of history.
yall so hyped up on bullshit. robin was a good guy and the world is dimmer with him gone
Just the way Gen. Taylor says at the end, "That's *funny*," he says it like "I'm gonna use that one."
Now that's funny.
And now its his joke. The 2 people who know it was Adrian's will be gone soon.
I have used that line with some variations over the years.
I feel like it was Cronauer's parting gift to the General, having covered for him so much. Was the least he could do.
I love the General
Spike Lowry I'm with you there.
Spike Lowry I love the moment they smile to each other. Always makes me smile too...
General is chill af =)))
Why is the General wearing his cover indoors?
You're going to Guam, I love the way he just casually mentions it while knowing full well he's destroying the sergeant major
It was after this speech when I just began to realize that I know too much people who aren't crazy as I thought but mean...
You nailed it Tamas took the words right out of my mouth
Although the whole movie and that clip is great. Really that line is the best part of that clip.
RFKFANTS67 #greatminds
Tamás Kalocsai he walked away laughing then repeats it I total get ya now lol yes I know to many as well
0:48 I always liked how his expression goes from being smug and dismissive to concerned, angry and betrayed as he can't argue against what Sgt Major is telling him about his friend.
I have always enjoyed this movie, but now I have to compartmentalize the fact that it is all fiction. The real Adrian Cronauer said that the only thing this movie had in common with his experience is that he, too, was an AFRS jockey in Saigon in 1965. He also said that if he had done even half the stunts Robin Williams pulled in this movie, he would STILL be sitting in military prison.
@Christopher Marlowe Gee, when you see, "Based on a true story," you would like to think that the story you are presented is biographical with a certain touch of dramatic license. Do you understand now? Al is klar? Verstehen Sie mich?
@@lindseysummers5351 "Based on a true story" doesn't mean that the entire story is true, just parts - or A part - of it. "We Were Soldiers Once" is also 'based on a true story,' but while most of that one is true there certainly are parts of it that are not, and are in the movie due to poetic license. If you want more of an example, then read the book from which the movie was taken and you'll see what I mean. "Good Morning Vietnam" takes a very liberal view towards poetic license and does indeed stretch it to the breaking point, but the fact of the matter is that there were very few things about Vietnam that were funny, and I think the makers of the film show this fact very well.
If you go to a movie that is hyped as "based on a true story" and are expecting anything even close to 90% historical accuracy, then I suggest you stop going to movies because you're not gonna find it.
@@traveller4790 That would actually be a great idea since hollyweird is way out of fucking control with their bullshit and need reined in a bit. Hopefully after this pedophile scandal is over, most of the garbage will be gone, and maybe we can get some people with fucking integrity in there.
@Christopher Marlowe
Why do you need a reason to do anything?
Biggest error of the film was at the beginning. When he was searching the shelves for rock music albums. So if the brass was against the music WHY WERE THERE ANY ALBUMS AVAILABLE on the shelves.
I can just imagine the MASS EXPLOSION OF APPLAUSE in theaters across the country when Robin rebutted with those words.
We watched this movie in my Modern History class and I recall everyone laughing and clapping when he said the line.
Not to mention the GALES of laughter when he said it!
We seen this during Bootcamp Trust me just the 80 of us rocked the place.
There was
The General was deeply compassionate.
J T Walsh is one of greatest supporting actors in history. Jack Nicholson would agree! Keeping that serious, grim demeanor amid Robin Williams’ uproarious monologues must have been very difficult during the shooting if the film. He pulled it off brilliantly! I miss his work.
i loved the late J. T. Walsh's portrayal of the devoted yet tormented Lt. Col. Matthew A. Markinson (U. S. Marine Corps) - the executive officer (second-in-command) - vis-à-vis Col. Nathan R. Jessop (U. S. Marine Corps) - as portrayed by Jack Nicholson - in the 1992 Rob Reiner film 'A Few Good Men.' Unlike the quintessential 'douchebag' of a Sgt. Maj. (U. S. Army) in the 1987 Barry Levinson film 'A Few Good Men,' Lt. Col. Markinson (U. S. Marine Corps) truly comes across as the 'reasonable authority figure' in 'A Few Good Men.' Talk about a stark contrast between Sgt. Maj. Phil Dickerson (U. S. Army) and Lt. Col. Matthew A. Markinson (U. S. Marine Corps).
Two brilliant actors. Gone too soon. RIP guys
What a treasure Robin Williams was.
Everybody did great in this! Great casting, directing. Noble Willingham brought a lot.
3:07 see's the general who gives him a quick nod, turns around and gives that epic line. You just know the general gave him the go ahead, at least thts what I always thought
"Yer mean, and this is jest radio."
On my first tour to Iraq I was fortunate to be with a unit that was great to be around and leaders that were hard only when they needed to be. My squad were the jokers of my company and no one was safe from us. Hell, I even got my captain and 1SG a few times. We never did anything that would jeopardize the mission or put anyone in harms way. All but 3 made it home in my battalion. Two years later I went to the sandbox again, but the army changed. There was no camaraderie, no pride and an overwhelming sense of fear in everybody. The leaders were very stand-offish and provided neither guidance nor discipline. The entire brigade was full of "yes men" and people only out for themselves. We lost more people for a variety of reasons, more than I care to remember. For you civilians out there that do not understand, your unit is your family or at least they are suppose to be. When one suffers, we all suffer.
What changed the army in that time? Was it just a different group, or had the effects of war, or lots of inexperienced people or something else?
In the few short years I was away the DoD made a lot of policy changes that brought the military into this "brave new world". When I got back in I was forced to reclass because my previous MOS was overstrengthed. As soon as I got to AIT I witnessed first hand the type of people were being recruited, and they way the Drill Sergeants and cadre treated them. Absolutely no discipline, they treated everything like a joke. The leadership was too afraid to punish bad behavior because of someone would cry foul and then the leader would be "corrected". Things were much worse when I got to my unit, hardly anyone cared that we were going to be deployed in one of the hairest areas of Iraq. A handful of us veterans filed a report with the Inspector General about the condition of the unit, especially the leadership, nothing was done. We had convicted felons, gang members and junkies in my company, leaders that turned a blind eye to all insubordination and so on and so forth. It was not just my unit, I kept in contact with most of whom I served with before the "dark times" and they all said similar things about their own units.
Thanks for the info. I guess the strain on the military of Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time probably effected the DoD's recruitment and the outlook of some of them people serving. I saw a Vice video talking about similar problems of lower recruitment standards as they try to increase the militaries size. ua-cam.com/video/hrHQyjCzmOc/v-deo.html Also sort of randomly but as a Brit your points reminded me of a scene in In the Loop ua-cam.com/video/ijfrzTnydfU/v-deo.html which was based on a tv show we had called The Thick of It.
There is a fine line that balances quality and quantity and humanity always swings to one side or the other, never settling on that happy median.
Honestly I feel the Army is now a daycare for political correctness, and the brotherhood of war is discouraged. I'm glad I went private sector when I did.
Hats off too to Noble Willingham as General Taylor.
1:52 the most honest face of Robin Williams, no jokes, no acting just plain scared
Disappointed, i dont think scared
He gets sent to Guam I loved that part.When I saw this in the theaters people were clapping and yelling at that scene
J.T. Walsh, great actor. I retired after 29 years in the service back in 2013. Worked for a few positively brilliant leaders (officers and senior enlisted), but they unfortunately were all too often outnumbered by egomaniacal assholes who allowed positional authority to put the zap to their brains (as so accurately portrayed by J.T. Walsh). Toxic leadership is still very much a sad and very present reality in the Armed Forces. In all fairness though (and a little ironically), I freely admit that I learned more from the toxic leaders I dealt with because they unconsciously taught me how *not* to lead and inspire subordinates. Those lessons came in handy when I headed up my own shops as a Chief and then a Senior Chief...I was bound and determined not to embrace the toxicity they exemplified.
One of the best one liners In the film. Good scene
I was stationed in Guam in the 80's, all you had to do was go to McDonald's on Marine Drive by yourself at night get your ass kicked if you couldn't fight.
Blood Alley outside of Alameda used to be off limits, for the same reason.
i know that mcdonalds very well. the one in tamuning lol
Rest in peace to all three of them. Good actors. Fine, indeed..
I'd completely forgotten that priceless line as Williams left the office.
Fucking beautiful!
Loved that last line. Even the general got it.
As great as Robin Williams was, hats off to J.T. Walsh who was an amazing actor. A great bad guy in anything he was in.
Truly
Sure do miss Robin but you know he still lives in my heart minds thoughts RIP
This is a great scene. It is one of the best scenes ever of the hero of the movie being brought down, the acting is fantastic. The look on Williams' face as he realizes that what he's being told is true is just superb! "A charge of treason against the United States carries with it some penalties kind of on the stiff side, if you know what I mean..."
1FokkerAce unless you are trump
No
2 minutes, later; the same man who brought down the hero is brought down. With a punishment posting for all of his bullying antics. Sent to Guam where there's nothing going on. As a former special forces Sergeant major; he will be as bored as hell.
Not any more.
@@mickeykindley9885
Only someone like you would respond to a 4 year old comment, on a video about a 1987 movie about the Vietnam war, and make a random comment about Trump. The salt carries on.
35 years later and it's still funny 🤣
Anyone who's ever been a DJ on live radio loves this movie. It takes a very special talent to riff off and spin tunes as part of the performance like this. Few can do it right.
i'm a DJ and i don't find this movie funny or good because i know funny, i know it in my heart and my friend frenchy too
JT Walsh was a great actor. His death was a loss. Only 54 years old. Nicholson loved working with him. RIP
Although JT Walsh usually sadistic characters and unlikable military characters he was well liked on set. Even JT Walsh said he wanted to get away from typecast of playing villains and be more like Gene Hackman with a variety of roles.
@@scottknode898 The one role of the late J. T. Walsh that was a radical departure from the archetypical villain was that of the devoted yet tormented Lt. Col. Matthew A. Markinson in the 1992 Rob Reiner film 'A Few Good Men.'
when he counldnt cover for him this time.. he sure did in a way that he could be getting rid of that asshole.. what a great general we need people like this in life more
I don’t know how JT Walsh can memories all those lines, he’s great in the scene & carries so well.
Such a massive loss to the world.
Robin Williams was such a wonderful man.
The only celebrity death I've ever cried for
Teared up for him(in tribute to all the tears he gave me from hysterically laughing-seriously, Night at the Met had me using my inhaler as a kid every 3 minutes), as well as for Stan Lee.
I loved this movie. We were stationed in Guam during Vietnam Nam. The wounded were E-vacked to the island and mom brought the young soldiers home to have dinner with us. Four rowdy children, a mom that looked like Donna Reed and a CMSGT with a dry sense of humor. I will never forget.
The plainness...the bare, unfettered candor of "you're mean."
That actor playing the 1st Sgt really did a great job. I love the subtleties like how he was annoyed at 3:08 he was annoyed at having to listen to the airman once more time, and how he wanted to strangle him while having to listen to the general. Excellent acting.
blockmasterscott SGT Major.
blockmasterscott he was Sgt major and was played by the late JT Walsh
And his blue chord is on the wrong side
I was living in Atlanta when I heard that Robin Williams left this world forever. I actually saw a shooting star in the sky that night.
That wasn't a meteor coming down, that was the spirit of Robin Williams going up into a higher plane of existence.
He may be gone, but the impact he left shall forever live on.
Rest in peace, Robin. We all miss you.
He's in a better place now. 😇
"In more dire need......." Brilliant.
That's the trick in life being able to find humor in life and laughing at it.
R.I.P. Robin William, Noble Willingham, Bruno Kirby and JT Walsh
Willingham died too? Didnt know
ArseneWenger yea Noble Willingham died in 2004 at age of 72 from natural causes
That is a great General
Robin Williams won that one single handedly.
Robin Williams made me smile and crack up when life fucked me in the ass. Thank you Robin.
I don't know about anyone else but to me, this is the most memorable movie Robin Williams has ever been in. So much in it and it ties together well.
Robin wasn't just a great comic but a great dramatic actor and listener. Great subtle facial reactions at 0:40
listerone he was good in drama as well and pulled it off and even played a convincing serial killer in one of his darkest movies Insomnia
Robin attended Juliard and after either his sophomore or junior year, his professors told him to drop out, telling Robin, "There's nothing left for us to teach you."
@@scottknode898He was great in One Hour Photo, too.
Sgt. Maj. Phil Dickerson's reaction to Adrian Cronauer's parting zinger at 03:15 - PRICELESS
I would have said yes sergeant major dickheaderson
I'm renting this movie right now. rip Robin Willams
That General is such a great actor in this movie!
I loved JT Walsh in Breakdown. Awesome movie!!
This is a good movie.
R.I.P Robin Williams and J.T. Walsh
Lol, I love this clip, one of my favorites from this move.
He reminds me a lot of Donna Reed, especially around the eyes.
I saw this movie when it came out in theaters. I loved it then and I love it now!
We miss you Robin
We miss you, Robin.
Miss you Robin! Thanks for all the laughs Praying you are at peace
One of the best lines in the film industry.
I have never laughed better than when I saw the movie and saw that scene.
It made my day right there.
Best scene of the whole movie!!! 🏆
I love watching Dickerson's hairstyle change multiple times during one conversation 😅
Loved that movie! It's the one in which I realized Robin was not only the funniest man alive, but also a very talented actor.
Robin's pain in his voice and face saying "Why'd you do this?" Gets me every time, but stops before his last words to JT Walsh.
Robin at his best!! I miss him
Such a great cast
And still they had to get a Thai actress to play the lead Vietnamese woman
This film came out five years after Mork & Mindy ended, and most of the world only knew Robin Williams as a quirky funny alien. The only thing I'd seen him in before that was the awful Popeye.
When I saw this film I expected a comedy, because Williams was in the lead role. What I got was a brilliant film that gave us comedy and then slapped us in the face with the reality of war. We got to see that Williams wasn't just a comedian, but an actor of very high calibre.
This film not only showed me Williams in a new light, it gave me a great deal of respect for him.
R.I.P Robin Williams.
This was all I knew him from really, until I listed to his Night at the Met album. Holy shit I was using my asthma inhaler every couple of minutes, cause a 13 year old hearing this blew my mind.
Just watch Robins expression as the Sgt tells him about his friend. The truth hitting him slowly ☹️😲
There will only ever be 1 Robin Williams. RIP
GUAM SIR?! 😂😂😂 I always lose my shit. I wonder if they were on the same DC-8 😂
Oh that would have been a fucking PERFECT after credits scene for the film! XD
Poetic Justice.
The best scene in the whole movie.
Jt walsh was also great in a few good men
Who will be the next Robin Williams? This guy inspired more kids and adult actors to branch out into new things. Will we ever see anyone like this again?
Hilarious last line from the late great Robin Williams. May he RIP
This is such a great movie. Thanks for uploading this scene! I think it would have more views if the title was different. It took me a while to find this.
You're welcome! As for the title, I don't mind changing it. Do you have any suggestions? What search terms did you use to look for it?
In more dire need. Or, any white man in history. Or you're not crazy, you're mean.
Changed it to "In More Dire Need." Thanks! :)
Cronaur came to my high school and said the morning announcements. It was epic.
I love this movie was one of Robbins best
This is the quality recommended I’ve been lookin for
R.I.P Robin Williams & JT Walsh!
Chiles Russell-Taylor noble willigham (walker texas ranger) also
Chiles Russell-Taylor R.I.P. as well to Bruno Kirby who played Lt Steven Hauk and was in City Slickers along with Noble Willingham (General Taylor)
“And my mother's a werewolf right?“ lmao
I've missed you .... luv it
so fuuny man and cool
😱
first time i watched this movie was in Guam! born and raised there :)
Amazing acting!
It’s nice, at least, to see that Shelly Marcone was an honorable man before he became a sleezeball and the owner of the LA Stallions.
My thoughts exactly!
Great movie
Great movie. Robin never disappointed.
RIP wonderful man.
Rest in piece, Robin Williams
Excellent
RIP Mork ....My comedy hero......
Blowing in my left ear only!
How can a guy keep a straight face after hearing that I’ll never know😂
The annoying thing is Cronauer will never know that Dickerson got transferred to Guam because of he tried to kill him. The worst punishment of a dedicated hard core Sergent Major is to get sent to a peaceful place.
I never thought in a military discussion would I hear a man call another man mean lol
Being a disciplinarian is one thing, I had a Sergeant who was hard, he demanded a lot from us but he was fair. I also had another Sergeant who was a moron, he had no idea how to lead men and tried to fool everyone by being a sadist. Always screaming because that was the only thing he knew how to do. He was just mean.
Andrew E. Craver Being “mean” is an actual thing. It refers to those who nit-picks at details, overuses their authority, and doesn’t accept apologies nor efforts at redemption.
Mean, petty or vindictive leaders can destroy a unit, department or team more effectively than any other force. The problem is that kind of personality also tends to be the most effective ass-kissers & ladder climbers.
They tend to skate across a fire-storm of destruction until their career encounters a senior manager that is competent & secure enough in their position to recognise what is going on & do something about it.
I know "mean" managers that have cost companies tens of thousands in contracts & their most competent staff/working groups, its not a small thing to be or to accuse someone of.
There's being harsh but with a purpose, and then there's just being a power-trip asshole.
@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 Like Captain Sobel of Easy Company. His men put up with his, well, "meanness" because he showed them no mercy, which was exactly what to expect from the enemy. But that was as far as he was effective; as a trainer. He was no leader and not suited to actually lead Easy Company. Only to train them for war.
