@robbyddurham1624 You could say that Sam's character was a traumatized Vietnam vet which was why it was such a touchy subject for him, especially when someone told him inaccurate information on it (the girl's response on why US troops were pulled out). But Sam got just as set off when talking about the Korean War with Rodney, was Sam a veteran of that war too? You can believe Vietnam, especially if he went out there during the last years of it (1973-1975), but he looked too young to have been at least 18 at the time of the Korean War since that was the early 1950s
I didn't know who Sam Kinison was when I saw this at the theatre. Me and everyone else were gasping for air we were laughing so hard. Then a couple of years later I had a College instructor who had the same temperament who lost it one day in the middle of a class and went completely bananas on one guy. Now, whenever I flash back to that moment, I can't help but laugh and think about this scene.
This movie scene is pure Genius... the Writing, Kinison and Dangerfield, the pacing and the steady build up... It's just amazing. If there was ever a movie scene that I could have been an extra in... This would be the one I'd want to have.
Once I finish my 20 years in my current dual military and law enforcement jobs, and qualify for my pensions in my mid-50s, I’m seriously hoping to start a second career as a history teacher. I only hope when that day comes I can care as deeply and teach as passionately as this fine professor.
I love this line also, "These kids were only in grade school at the time, and as for me, I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover" Rodney has a similar related line later at the bar to that one provoking guy "Oh, I don't get physical, I just get upset. When I get upset..(points to Lou) he gets physical
I had Political Science professor in college like this. His voice would change whenever he said “communism” or “military industrial complex”. Made the class a lot of fun.
I remember seeing this movie as a kid. This was the first time I ever saw Sam or Rodney in performance. I had never heard their stand up before this. This movie made me really enjoy seeing them in other movies and stand up they did. R.I.P. Sam and Rodney.
@@kirosuks Yeah, so were every single Pope of the Catholic Church and I assure you every one of them is in Hell right now. And the current one has a very special place reserved for him.
The movie National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, when Chevy Chase was talking to Mary in the department store, Sam Kinison was in the crowd walking in the background
Every time I see some old fuck at the grocery store with a stupid red MAGA hat on --- I wanna walk to him or her and do this skit on them --- watch them crap their adult diapers LOL
I watch this movie at least once a month, one of my favorites of all time. Sam Kinison was unique and cracks me up each time I see this. When he's screaming at Rodney, watch how Rodney couldn't contain his laughter, just awesome. This movie was also one of Sally Kellerman's best performances, the way she walked into Thorton's party, trying to act cool lol!
that little smirk he gives right after the girl gives that textbook answer about vietnam is priceless, you can tell he wants to belt her across the face...this is the best clip
I was 12 when I saw this. I immediately bought Kinison's album. "You used me! You never loved me! I hope you slide under a gas truck and taste your own blood! DIE! DIE! DIE! I want my records back! !!"
@TheHound I saw him live 4 times when he was working this bit before it came out on the album. He would live call from someone in the audience. If it was scripted, they did an excellent fucking job of it. Every time I saw it, it turned out completely different and funny as hell. One of the girls snarked back. Sam called her and said, "Hey, I'm sitting here with Jared and about 5000 of his friends (or whomever, I don't remember his name)..." and she immediately cut in with "Tell Jared to fuck himself" and hung up. It was funnier than all the rest. I can't say or not whether or not they planned it, but the look on Sam's face was great. He dropped the act, looked down at Jared (??) calmly said, "I think you're really just better off without this one, brother," and then gave that evil little giggle he had. We fell out.
@@ered203 I had gotten free tix from Sam's entourage to a show and we were right in front. He asked me who broke my heart and my first thought was "Holy shit, he's going to call her". Fortunately he only said she was a "FUCKING BITCH!" and then called the ex of the next guy he asked 😆
Funniest Part of the movie ! Back to school was my favorite ! Rodney Dangerfield REALLY MISS YOUR CRAZY MIND ! REST IN PEACE AND MAKE EM LAUGH IN HEAVEN !HA HA HA HA HA HA Sam You 2 ! Love ya both .
GAAWWDAAEM!! This Sam Kinison character is a fucking trip!!! 🤣😂😂 I like it! I first noticed him in an episode. Back when Married With Children was airing. Back in 1995 or so. I was in elementary. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
honestly dude, rewatch this scene and if you're familiar with the fundamentalist or Pentecostal scene, his mannerisms are super familiar to those of us who sat under such preaching. (Especially watch how he leans forward and uses hand gestures when talking to Rodney Dangerfield.) Even the voice inflections remind me of some preachers.
@@ConcernedResident_GiantStack Oh yes, I can definitely see him as an evangelical preacher. That is exactly where he got his style from. I remember watching a movie once where a preacher at a tent revival got a little too in the spirit and yelled "Satan's a pussy!". I immediately thought of Sam Kinison.
Fun fact, Sam was a preacher before he became a comic. When he does his yelling, that's an old preacher trick where he doesn't actually yell, he modulates his voice higher and pushes a button on the mic to amplify his voice. It's to save his voice giving multiple sermons on a daily basis.
This scene has many hysterical moments. The smile After her answer and ‘is she right?’ Still maintaining his composure ‘ I know that’s a popular version of what went on over there….’ When he finally snaps. ‘While pussys like you…listening to the god damn beatle albums… Rodney interrupts and he comes out of his trance and back to reality Destroying the desk. Say it. Say it!!!! Over 30 years old and I lmao.
"How come we didn't cross the 38th parallel, and send those rice eaters back to the Great wall of China, and take it apart brick by brick (rips chair) and nuke them back to the f***ing Stone Age forever, how come!!? Say it!! Say iit!!" It's funny how in both of his outbursts he mentions rice patties or rice eaters, something about war in Asia set him off like dynamite. It wasn't nessesarily because he was a traumatized vet because he got just as set off talking about the Korean War as he did Vietnam. He said he was in Vietnam, but he looked too young to be a veteran of the Korean War also
How could anyone, ever, anywhere, anytime, be better than Sam Kinison? Sam took the raw pain of his failed women times and made comedic genius out of it. It can't be replicated, much less replaced. A true one of a kind talent. The best comedian ever. "the way a lot of people hold their marriage sacred" -classic-
I saw this when I was little I remember my dad cracked up at this scene and i had no idea what kinison was talking about st the time but i still laughed at this
You know for a comedian, Sam really got into that character. Sure, it's pretty corollary to his usual stand up material but still. It's a shame we didn't get to see him longer. He probably would have had a pretty decent movie career.
the scene is over 33 years old .......and still I laughed uncontrollably.
hilarious scene
Me too!!!
I must have watched it at least 80 times over the years and it still kills. Absolute classic.
Damn funny! Two comedic giants in one seen. Classic, R. I. P. to them both.
Mannnnnnn!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!
Two legends of comedy came together at the same time in history to create this classic scene. I am humbled and very grateful.
I think this is Kinison's best performance ever! Working with Rodney brought him to another level.
You can see Kinison's character loading up like a catapult after the student's answer. We all knew it was coming.
Maxx61 He was such a master of the slow burn. When he first asks “is she right?“ with the gritted teeth, you can see him start to come apart. 😂
ikr...it's like...wait for it..wait for it
@@MatthewMcClellan, Slow burn, I like that definition of the way Sam gradually mounted up to his full rage
That's a great description.

I always start coming apart at "Is she right?" Never fails. Legendary timing. Legendary delivery. Legendary Sam.
This will never be a tiresome scene to watch! Just too damn funny! RIP both Rodney Dangerfield and Sam Kinison. Thanks for the memories.😊😎
Kinison was so fricken spot on with his timing. He'll live forever! Hilarious !!
Two comic giants at the top of their games, and genius to put them in a scene together.
Captain Hook yes, genius. pure genius.
They work d together several times
Imagine Richard Pryor in this movie
well said!
If I'm not mistaken Dangerfield discovered and promoted Sam. They were both great in any event.
RIP to the both of them. Still making us laugh all these years later!

The suppressed rage starting at 1:04 is beautiful
When Sam rips the desk off I think Rodney is cracking up but you can't see his face😂
god I love this scene so much. "good answer, good answer. I like the way you think....I'm gonna be watching you".
That kills me, hahaha!
It doesn't matter how many times I see this movie. Every time this scene comes on I practically pee my pants from laughing so hard.
One of the funniest movie scenes ever.
one of the greatest comedy scenes in movie history
best line in the whole movie: good teacher, he seems to really care, about what I have no idea...classic!
Agree
"Mister Helper.."
1BEAVIS13 settle down Beavis.
TELL ME WHY! SAY IT! SAY IT!!!
that line always kills me
I love this line also, "These kids were only in grade school at the time, and as for me, I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover"
Rodney has a similar related line later at the bar to that one provoking guy "Oh, I don't get physical, I just get upset. When I get upset..(points to Lou) he gets physical
Probably one of the most memorable/funniest comedic cameos of any movie to date.
I had a professor just like this. He was my all time favorite teacher!
Lee Hutch My 8th grade history teacher was like Turgeson.
I'll bet he was your favorite teacher!
Sure you did.
I had Political Science professor in college like this. His voice would change whenever he said “communism” or “military industrial complex”. Made the class a lot of fun.
LUCKY.
I pray that Sam is resting in Peace. What a talent.
He's probably screaming at someone for cutting in line to the buffet on his cloud
@@dengueberries No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By far one the funniest & underrated scenes in a movie in the 80's !
How could it be underrated?? It's one of the best scenes in the movie !!
I remember seeing this movie as a kid. This was the first time I ever saw Sam or Rodney in performance. I had never heard their stand up before this. This movie made me really enjoy seeing them in other movies and stand up they did. R.I.P. Sam and Rodney.

Best scene of an AWESOME movie
Love the losing-it and then tearing-out-the-chair moment. Classic
Very Funny Stuff RIP Rodney Dangerfield and Sam Kinison
I pray that they knew Jesus, otherwise their not having a good time right now...
@@TheLordsweapon ,,, Very TRUE !!!
Kinison was a preacher
@@kirosuks Yeah, so were every single Pope of the Catholic Church and I assure you every one of them is in Hell right now. And the current one has a very special place reserved for him.
@@TheLordsweapon lol come on that's fucked up. Lol.
The great Sam Kinison!
This scene from Back To School has to be the best comedy cut of all movies. We miss you Sam.
‘Those rice eaters”. Classic
The movie National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, when Chevy Chase was talking to Mary in the department store, Sam Kinison was in the crowd walking in the background
to louturks23:
Chevy Chase, another great comedian. Every movie National Lampoon's released is great.
I'm becoming more and more like Sam Kinison in my old age. lol
I tend to yell a lot at millennials..
Just don't get them at all
I working hard to figure out, who I should be like in my old age.
Every time I see some old fuck at the grocery store with a stupid red MAGA hat on --- I wanna walk to him or her and do this skit on them --- watch them crap their adult diapers LOL
Bill Belzek Your hate has destroyed your party.
Neil Allen Their next thrashing is coming up in 2020.
Sam Kinnison was a true comedic genious. I still miss him to this day.
I miss them both.
Was a great movie and today probably would not be made. Kenison and Dangerfield were comedy legends and are sorely missed.
Watching Rodney’s body shake as he tries not to laugh when Sam rips the desk apart is the best…
This guy was one of a kind. he still makes me laugh like I did when I was in my twenties this dude was hilarious
30 plus years later and this scene never gets old
Sam’s little chuckle right before he unloads is almost as funny as all his jokes combined haha
I watch this movie at least once a month, one of my favorites of all time. Sam Kinison was unique and cracks me up each time I see this. When he's screaming at Rodney, watch how Rodney couldn't contain his laughter, just awesome.

She was good in the movie M*A*S*H as well.
that little smirk he gives right after the girl gives that textbook answer about vietnam is priceless, you can tell he wants to belt her across the face...this is the best clip
Rodney gave Sam Kinison his first break at Dangerfields Ninth Annual Young Comedians Special on HBO. The rest is history!
Sam was great!
I was 12 when I saw this. I immediately bought Kinison's album.
"You used me! You never loved me! I hope you slide under a gas truck and taste your own blood! DIE! DIE! DIE! I want my records back! !!"

My first exposure to Mr. Kinison and, wow, did he make his point. Freaking comic genius!!!
GAAWWDAAEM!! This Sam Kinison character is a fucking trip!!! 🤣😂😂 I like it! I first noticed him in an episode. Back when Married With Children was airing. Back in 1995 or so. I was in elementary. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I was 12 when I saw this in the theater, found and bought Kinison's album a week later My best friend and I laughed until our sides hurt..
Two Extremely One of a Kind Comedians that can Never be Replaced.
Sam was one of a kind.
OUT of the back to school , entire movie- THis is the scene I remember most and I saw the movie when it came out.
I love the instant where he is going off... and basically oblivious to the fact he is ripping up a chair...
One of my favorite movies. This scene was hysterical
If Sam was a teacher, I would take his class over and over again.
Absolutely priceless. Sam and Rodney were two of the best comics in history.
This has to be one of the funniest scenes in film,just plain funny.
I like it. Teach history under pressure loosely approximating the stress of the time and in your face. Bring it home!
You can tell the extras in the back are trying not to laugh in this scene behind Rodney. Lol
The one directly behind Rodney is doing Rodney.
Lol, He looks like he's about to have an anxiety attack!
Buck Turdgidson
That one guy is wiping his face with a handkerchief lol
Lol!
Good teacher he really seems to care about what I have no idea
Saw it when it came out.
Good times.
Never be another great cast of comedians, ever!
I could watch this all day.
Kinison was a one of a kind. It is hard to imagine him as and Evangelical Minister

Love the way he says "Is she right?" and "Mr. Helper" His timing and delivery are perfect.
"He's very committed, in fact I think he was." I'm getting a master's degree in education, I want students to say this about me someday.

They say that about me now
sad that both of these comedy greats are gone...they are definatly missed
When comedy was funny.
Sam was one of the best EVER. Wish I had a preacher like him, I might go to church.
