I realize this is an old comment but i wanted to point something out: he's actually doing 4 separate accents in that scene; the accent for Osiris, the accent for Father O'Malley, then goes into HIS own voice, and then comes out as Lazarus. Amazing scene and he really should have won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor that year.
he has no true self. Instead of going through life, creating his own self, he pushed that process off onto becoming other people. Now that house of cards is collapsing.
I hope Infinity War part 2 reveals that Iron Man was really Kirk Lazarus so deeply committed to the nailing the role of Tony Stark that he became a brilliant engineer, developed a high tech suit of armor and saved the world 4 or 5 times.
Sprax when i 1st seen this mivie a literaally thought he was black than he started taking off the makeup cosmetics i was so shocked a drooped my hotpocket 😂😂😂 (u get the reference)
VCR's were really hard to set up and update the clock and connect to the tv. Instructions sucked. It take forever to figure out what all the buttons on ur controller did.
Anthony Randall He was basically saying he's Robert Downey Junior. On purpose? Maybe it went a little close to home in this movie. This might be how they really act in Hollywood. Real life is a dark comedy anyway.
+waltt Not really. In that case he would've said he's the dude, playing the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude. The disguised as is the Asian lead farmer.
I have some advice for Kirk: "You'll have to look deep inside yourself, to save yourself from your other self. Only then will your true self, reveal itself."
@@VaultBoy-ox1sx it's kind of a parody of the ending. Ben stiller (Tugg) is Col. Kurtz and RDJ (Kirk) is Capt. Willard. Basically Tugg is "crazy" but his comfort and willingness to stay in such a horrible place combined with deep metaphors and philosophy leads to Kirk questioning his own sanity/identity. It's a direct parallel to Apocalypse Now
@@lucasimmons075 I feel like it is a mix of both “Apocalypse Now” and “Deer Hunter,” specifically the scene where DeNiro is trying to get Christopher Walken to remember home.
Robert Downey Jr: "I'm a dude, PLAAY-ing a dude, that's disguiiiiised as another dude!" "You a dude, ThatDon'tKnowWhatDudeHeIs!" Ben Stiller: Or are you a dude who has no idea of what dude he is, and claims to know what dude he is.......by playing other dudes?" Best two lines ever in a movie, loooooool!
Made my parents watch this with me last night and had never noticed Ben Stiller say "the dudes are emerging" and it might be my favorite line in the whole movie
He's a dude playing a dude who doesn't know what dude he is but says he knows what dude he is, by saying he's a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude, but he's no dude at all, he's Robert Downey Jr
He was originally going to be Irish but RDJ said his Aussie accent was better And yes I know it's weird responding replying to a seven year old comment
Holy cow I watched the Deer Hunter last week and never realized the "Tugg who? I don't know" is a reference to the scene with Nicky and Mike in Saigon at the end
"I know who I am! I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!" It took the universe 13.4 billion years but it made that series of words happen. God bless us, every one.
Ha ha this movie 🎥 killed me , I was dying laughing during this scene . Tropic thunder will truly go as one of the funniest comedies out there, it’s absolutely a masterpiece.
Can we retroactively give RDJ a co-Best Supporting Male Oscar for this performance? We all knew Heath was winning for The Joker, but any other year, Robert was taking home this award! By the way, this movie NEVER gets made in 2018.
These movies can be made whenever. Mel Brooks said about blazing saddles. "They said we couldn't make it in 1974." Granted it can be hard to get the funding, but movies that are very not PC still do. JoJo Rabbit comes to mind, and I adore that movie.
Any SJWs outraged by this movie just need to watch this scene and understand their frustration isn’t warranted. Granted it will ruin a great movie but they can finally shut up about it.
"They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box"
That cracked me out
I laugh my as off at that line every time
Kyle Campbell 😂😂😂 still cracks me up to this day
Bongumenzi Jigster yo! I came here just after watching this movie...Mann...I never laughed any hollywood movie like this one man...
Kyle Campbell I know, omg!!!! This whole movie is the funniest movie ever
That killed me when I recently revisited this movie
The way he changes his voice three times in a row is raw💯💯💯

@@DTfan43 doesn't make the comment wrong. He spoke in 4 accents but because he started as Osiris, he changed 3 times.
Been sayin this since the 80's. He is one of the best actors in the world.
likes he's an actor something 😄
Kirk has gone so far into Method Acting that all the dudes he has played is emerging to reveal his true self
It looked painful emerging through all these dudes as if this was inception.🤣
He was stuck in limbo and escaped
he has no true self. Instead of going through life, creating his own self, he pushed that process off onto becoming other people. Now that house of cards is collapsing.
@@sea0fgreen33 proves joe rogan was right on when he said Daniel Day Lewis type people are super talented weirdos.
@@ARuiz-eu3hk It was literally a Get Out moment. Dude buried himself so deep that his characters had to be exposed before he was.
Ben Stiller's delivery of "The dudes are emerging" is genius.
dude, this scene alone should have guaranteed rdj an oscar
To be fair, he went up against the Joker.
@Vladimir Putin no, everyone can agree that Heath ledger deserved his Oscar for his performance lol. Dumbass
If heath ledger didn't die rdj would probably win that oscar
@@Ironbat92 Overrated. Heath wasn't even the best Joker.
@@ChocolateMilk.. He kinda is...

@Humble Magician WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS
He the dude, that don't know what dude he playing
Until the dudes start emerging again
The funny thing is there’s likely a multiverse out there where this exact thing happens.
Write the comic and illustrate it... I'll sacrifice my life for the cost... because I know what dude I am.
I still find it remarkable how RDJ delivered the Neil Armstrong line. It sounds like it came from a robots voicebox
like he was in space talking through a radio to ground control
This was clever a foreshadowing for Iron Man. Bravo Vince.
He plays a convincing black man
HA-YEAH! HA!

Like Demoman from TF2 even tho he is black
No...he plays a convince white man.
@@sharkparty1027 *black man
That line about trying to reenter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box might be one of the funniest lines I've ever heard
That's Indiana Jones.
But he's not a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude, he's actually a dude playing a dude acting as a dude disguised as another dude.
I think it is the second one XD

strangefruit42 Good joke if that is what you were going for. But he already discarded that disguise. No longer applied.
wray4real Wray4real the fact that he said disguised actually implies he was referring to the asian costume
You a dude that don't know what dude he is
I have some advice for Kirk: "You'll have to look deep inside yourself, to save yourself from your other self. Only then will your true self, reveal itself."
MegaGothmog okay zuko calm down
wait does that mean ATLA made a reference to Tropic Thunder?
If so then both works are now higher on my props list
Damn
"I am not Sergeant Lincoln Osiris, nor am I Father O'Malley, or Neil Armstrong. I am Robert Downey Jr."
Nah he is Charlie Chaplin
I am Iron man
And tony stark aka ironman

The first time I saw this I missed the beginning and kirk turning out to be white wearing blackface was an actual plot twist to me.
Same. I got to the theater when they get dropped of in the jungle
me and my brother recreate this from time to time when we are bored
i want a brother just for do that XD
d talmood same here
I thought that said boned.
0:19 this little guy always cracks me up.
Finally someone who mentioned him, wtf is he doing?
Fr, there wasn’t really a reason to have him there but he’s there doing his shit and that makes it funny.
tai chi maybe@@therealb888
They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box. LMFAO
WOW, the insecurity level of those 2 is ridiculous! LOL
This never gets old. Every now and then for the next 50 years i can watch this and still laugh
“I ain’t reprogramming a vcr” 😭
Can we take a second to recognize that Robert Downey Jr. is an amazing actor?
0:18 RDJ's face always cracks me up! LMFAO!
The face that he realises he has lost his friend in the script 🤣🤣
his name is twigman - does he want to come with us?
"I think I might be nobody.."
Relatable.
Ok yes, I am watching tropic thunder... AGAIN!
Made my parents watch this with me last night and had never noticed Ben Stiller say "the dudes are emerging" and it might be my favorite line in the whole movie
did they like it?
the dudes are emerging
Im not :-(
He's a dude playing a dude who doesn't know what dude he is but says he knows what dude he is, by saying he's a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude, but he's no dude at all, he's Robert Downey Jr
RDJ is the greatest! “You a dude don’t know what dude he is!” kills me every time! 😂😂😂
When they simp so hard! "I am dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!" 😂
"Roll your shit up man we're going home"
“Don’t you get it? I already am home”
“Uh oh”
😂😂
trying to re enter the Earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box
Thank you for putting up this whole scene!
Glad you liked it!
“Daggomit, Blamtucky, I ain’t re-programming a VCR 😂😂 crying every time I see this scene”
The little kid doing tai chi can't be overlooked.
"Daggomit Blamtucky I aint re programing a VCR" ROFL hahahahahaha Robert D Junior killing it
for a comedy this movie had a very deep subplot about the psychology of these guys under severe duress
0:20
The lil Asian kid in the backround always cracks me up everytime 🤣
We need to give rdj credit he does a freaking great Australian
He was originally going to be Irish but RDJ said his Aussie accent was better
And yes I know it's weird responding replying to a seven year old comment
Watch RDJ in Natural Born Killers. I think he mastered the Aussie accent back then, or at least got it down pretty good. Wild movie
2:01 i like how he changes his voice and accent for every character name he says..
When the shapeshifter is randomly going through all their forms
Holy cow I watched the Deer Hunter last week and never realized the "Tugg who? I don't know" is a reference to the scene with Nicky and Mike in Saigon at the end
1:46 Lol funny how he fell 😂😂😂😂
01:26 if I was the cameraman I would’ve been laughing my ass off 😆
Robert Downey mind blowned how he transitions into characters
"Daggomit Blamtucky, I aint reprogramming a VCR!" that cracks me up every time how they get his name more and more wrong.
"I know who I am! I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!"
It took the universe 13.4 billion years but it made that series of words happen. God bless us, every one.

Just...the fucking LAYERS in his performance! 😳
What a movie it is,Tom cruise and Robert downey in different getups.
Tropic Thunder

Tropic thunder will truly go as one of the funniest comedies out there, it’s absolutely a masterpiece.
I also was dying laughing. Those were the days.
I remember my very religious aunt took me to see this movie thinking it was a war flick. It was very uncomfortable
The idea of taking you to a war flick sounds just as odd.
Arguably the greatest scene in film history
This scene is low key enlightening hahaha
Jack Black at 1:34 lol
I love how they played with color correction in this scene
RDJ is a genius
This is my favorite scene from the movie. Bloody hilarious.
Metal Gear in a nutshell.
So true 😂
Man, this movie was way ahead of its time.
“Daggomit, Blamtuckey, I ain’t reprogramming a VCR!”

Did he just break the fourth wall?
"I'm a dude (RDJ), playing a dude (Kirk Lazarus), disguised as another dude (Sgt. Lincoln Osiris)"
I don't think so. A dude (Kirk) playing another dude (Sgt, Osiris), disguised as a rice farmer.
No
wow "I might be nobody" part is a great performance
1:15 just how deadpan Ben Stiller says it kills me every time I hear it 😂
This movie was ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hilarious and was perfectly timed
I love that RDJ mentioned his "movie role" names with their respective accents. A cool small detail.
THIS SCENE takes the cake. Best moment of the film.
tbh it must be a little fucked up for those months-long-method actors to drop the character
This is one of the best scenes in any movie. Tied with the hamburger scene in Pulp Fiction.
Best scene.
Kirk Lazarus was a faceless man
The little kid doing tai chi kills me.
Ben Stiller was getting a little White Goodmanlike there at 1:28
Bought the movie several months ago for this among many other reasons. Changed my life.
It's 2022 and this is the only movie let playable after the moon wars... this one sceen keeps me going
To this day I'm floored by how well RDJ can play a black man. His comedy movies are a gem just as much as him in the avengers.
2:20 when the shrooms show you your ego
I can't believe I watch this everyday.
Smh.
Do you still do it now?
God, I love this movie so much.
An American actor that acted as an Australian who played a black American that disguising as a Vietnam farmer.
This is deep shit!
I am iron man.
"What?" 😂😂😂
Any SJWs outraged by this movie just need to watch this scene and understand their frustration isn’t warranted.
Granted it will ruin a great movie but they can finally shut up about it.
