David Hewlett (Rodney McKay on Stargate Atlantis)swears that he was not drunk and that alcohol is not to blame for his recent bad behavior (see "Slug White Nerd" footage).
this needs to happen. Just straight up new seasons of all three of the series. They can literally just be like "hey, it's been all these years, new seasons" and I'd be stoked.
@tylerx2f01 do not play with my emotions!!! I literally just finished travelers and it was amazing. I didn't realize it was done by the Stargate people. I neeeeed more sci-fi!!!! Preferably some bad ass Stargate sci-fi!!
It's Stargate not Star Gate. Anyway, I loved Stargate but the directing and writing for the plots objectively sucked as well as the acting half the time. They need to make sure to keep all that from happening again and then they might have something viable.
Agreed, I miss the light hearted feel to the show while still satisfying and scratching on my SciFi itches...I felt like Atlantis was just getting going when they canceled it, they just need to not be so crazy with shaking up the cast, at least SG1 let the characters develop, although I will say that Ronin was a welcome change over Ford, but they should’ve kept roided out Ford on as a recurring character, I feel sorry for Rainbow Sun or whatever his name is...But yeah if they bring it back they need to go back to that tone and try not to make it all serious
This vid just popped up and I thought oh my goodness what the hell did he do. Then I got to the last part and realized it was all a joke. Well done you got me.
Idk I thought Atlantis was just a dumbed down Hollywood version of the original, cast wasn't funny in the slightest. Also I couldn't take anyone seriously either, just seemed like they were trying wayy too hard especially Ronan and Sheppard. Like okay if ur gna make a new show or continue with it in the same timeline, actually make a new show... Don't just recycle the same characters and dynamics but with less spice, creativity and originality.
@@HFFCANADAI agree with you 100%. I am currently trying to watch Atlantis after falling in love with SG1--and still I just can't take it seriously. It's very sad. I have completely given up. lol
There are a lot of very kind people on here that didn't realize this was done tongue in cheek. Y'all are fantastic! I love how you try to make David feel better. Faith in humanity somewhat restored. :-)
Yeah I've seen more of his videos pop up recently. I saw one a while ago and a few of them years ago. When I saw this one, I was so worried he had done something wrong, _until he mentions his problem with rap!_ haha come on! that was good dude :D
"I've got a terrible problem... with rap," lol'd. Mister David, Sir, you are too good an actor. It seems almost everyone has taken your apology sincerely.
I'm not one to faun over celebrities but give credit where credits deserved. You ARE definitely one of the industries better actors. The way you're able to take a character and transform your being into someone else is quite a talent,especially when you make it so real it's believable. I am always amazed when I watch you in the Atlantis series and how you're so versatile, able to effect me emotionally and psychologically. That's when I know that I am watching pure genius at work.Bravo!
Apology accepted. We have all been known to make mistakes that can never be taken back. But in this time of emotional distress and embarrassment we send our love and understanding. Admitting that you have a problem with rap is the first step to solving your condition. It has become apparent that you have a serious problem, but we are there for you. Sending lots of love in your time of need :P
I know I've already left a comment on this video but I have to say this lol. If there are people who can't figure out for sure if this apology is real or just for fun then you might want to watch the episode of SGA where Rodney McKay blows up his first solar system, compare this video to part of that episode during his apology to Shepard -- Dave's mannerism, tone of voice, pacing between sentences, the very slight and occasional gulp, facial expression, jittery eye contact, it's all the same between the two. =) Everyone knows that a good actor is at their best when they're being themselves but everything about Dave's apology here and in the SGA episode is 100% identical in the way he's acting. This is just one reason among many as to why he's a badass! =D
This showed up in my feed in 2019...while I’m in the middle of binge watching SGA (just started & am currently on season 3, episode 11) How did UA-cam friggin’ know that I was binge watching SGA, & why put this video in my feed TWELVE YEARS after it’s released on UA-cam??? Whoever is watching me, I hope you’re enjoying the show because I’m boring as hell!!! Have fun!!!!😝 P.S.~ I too thought it was a “real” apology. Great acting!!!
David, there is nothing to be ashamed about or to apologize for. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of men and women around the world just like you with a marked inability ... to rap. Research is ongoing but it is our beliefe here, at the Center for Musical Disability, that you and these other unfortunates share a recessive genetic marker which hampers your ability to compose the rhyming structures and controlled metres found in so much of today's contemporary music. We have found, however, that such unfortunates as yourself have slightly improved manual dexterity and perform better through an instrumental medium rather than voice. As a path to rehabilitation, I would suggest that you start simply. Perhaps by taking up the spoons.
Man don't worry if u don't make mistakes ur not human. Tell u what u gave me more happiness on Atlantis u could do nothing wrong. Hey chin up and remember no matter were u go there u are Loves ya man I wouldn't watch the show if ur not on it... Would give anything if u would just say thanks or something A.B
No he won't do any better with an instrument. Remember, he told Carter how he studied to be a pianist and was told he wasn't any good at that either. Poor guy. But we love you David and alway's will.
Im in awe. I got cold swets at first, what did you do to say these things? How on earth could my favorite talker - almost as big of a blabbermouth as I am - do something so wrong it would recuire an exuse? Then I saw the other one and I listen again to this, and look and behold - where laughing again. :-D Thanks, youve made my day! Actually, even though youre not eyecandy like Joe, your'e most def. earcandy! (And eyecandy do get old and ugly, the brain never does...) LÖV! /Swe
Well yes, of course.. i myself suffered from Systemic Euphoric Rap Syndrome, A critical disease where you think you sound fantastic and want to Rap to the world.... i myself sent a lecture hall into transports of dread as their ears were imploded and aneurisms formed in their brains... however be of good cheer; there is a cure.. Nice weed and classical music and beach time, time to book yourself in David :D
Dear Mr Hewlett, you are one of the best Canadian actors I have ever seen and you make me laugh and make me cry, not a lot of Actors can do this it's got to be inside you since you were born. May I say I loved you in Stargate SG1 and Atlantis. Please PS could you pass a message to a English Rose that's if you see her, Bob from England says if your looking for a Walk through the Stargate anytime I would Walk with her ❤. Cheers mate.
So who had UA-cam's algorithm randomly start throwing them this video 14 years late because they rewatched SG-1 a year ago? Just me? ...yeah you're right, I should rewatch it again, it's been a year since I did that...
I am so proud of this man for having the courage to come forward and admit to having a problem. I only hope he's able to help others in the same situation once he's fully rehabilitated.
As that one romulan said...."IT"S A FAKKKKKE!" . . . . . OhHeyItsLee 8 years ago The fact that people took this seriously proves just how good an actor he is. Atlantis would be nothing without good ol' Rodney. =)
Well thanks SGsephy, I'm glad someone got it. And yes, I bet the same people who are confused as to whether it was a serious post will think that me and my buddy David go to Rappers Anonymous every morning together.
Just finished watching Atlantis on blue ray. Fantastic, as always. But, you know, if you didn't save the day all the time they wouldn't come to expect it. :)
2024 Who is here still loving and waiting for the return of STARGATE❤❤❤
Carter must've threatened him with a lemon
Lmao 😂😂😂😂
2019 Bring back Stargate, bring back Rodney!
@tylerx2f01 hope McKay is in it!
this needs to happen. Just straight up new seasons of all three of the series. They can literally just be like "hey, it's been all these years, new seasons" and I'd be stoked.

I was taking it seriously, right until the end when he said "...with rap". :D now I gotta look up this other video lol.
Yep....I was hooked as well.....right up to the 'with rap' statement. Had to back the damned thing up twice to make sure I heard him correctly. LMAO!
RealityIsInTheGame you are right!;)
For a second there I thought he had done something truly terrible.
or lack of context..
UA-cam algorithm is the real drunk here
Why am I here?!
@@Raggepagge "I heard you liek Stargate" - UA-cam
Oh man, I'm not the only one to be algorithm'd into this?
I, too, have been algorithm'd. Lol.
Oh god
People, let this sink in: It has been a decade since this was released. A DECADE!
Holy... buckets.
I feel so old now, where did my 20's go, AaaaahhhhhHH!!!!!
Don't you mean holy BECKETTS.....I need Carson back
What gave it away? The horrible resolution from his ancient webcam or that he isn't bloated and balding.
i'm only just seeing this lol...
Krazykov i agree i was like 16 when this was released
I thought it was serious until the very last word. Friggin' brilliant!
Krälet me too 😂😂😂😂
Still playing the role of The Canadian. Impressive.
What's so WRONG about beeing CANADIAN OMG XD
Joking btw.
I dunno, I'm just reacting to Canadians apologizing for it ;P
Right Well then Have a nice day and until next time goodbye! :)
Well that is because he IS Canadian...
Lindsay Mastervick He's Brittish actually.
LMFAO how he did this with a straight face is beyond me.
AussieBlokeGordo umm. He’s an actor. He does this for a living. It’s literally the one thing he does in his life.
I guess it took a few tries.
He should be an actor...
I don't even understand what this video was for. Allegedly he's saying sorry for something but honestly I don't give a fuck.
David's acting in the Episode "The Shrine" really showed his range. He has a lot more to him than he was really able to portray as Dr. Rodney McKay.
15 years ago, still shows up in my feed, still priceless.
so weird to see this 13 years later and being completely confused XD, thanks youtube recommendations
right.it just got me
When UA-cam puts a 12 year old video in your recommended feed, you know the algorithm is working.
This vid just popped up and I thought oh my goodness what the hell did he do. Then I got to the last part and realized it was all a joke. Well done you got me.
I miss the Stargate Atlantis great cast one of the best shows ever.
sure was! I only wish they didn't cancel it and went on as long as stargate.
Idk I thought Atlantis was just a dumbed down Hollywood version of the original, cast wasn't funny in the slightest. Also I couldn't take anyone seriously either, just seemed like they were trying wayy too hard especially Ronan and Sheppard.

I love Rodney. I miss the show like a lost friend. I don't know how but they need to bring it back. From time to time I binge watch the whole series.
Ditto, Like every other year I binge watch SG1 and Atlantis.
@@Josh-vv9sz heck I binge watch all of them even stargate universe
Binge watch every winter and I gotta admit, I still have a thing for McKay.
Merentha Tarrant yeah same
UA-cam thinks I might want to see this in 2019
ikr. wack.
Crazy shit yo.
Yeah I've seen more of his videos pop up recently. I saw one a while ago and a few of them years ago. When I saw this one, I was so worried he had done something wrong, _until he mentions his problem with rap!_ haha come on! that was good dude :D
Wade Stubblefield the truly bizarre thing is that I’ve seen zero episodes of SG-A, and have no idea who this is. 😂
Ikr, makes no damn sense.
This sounded more like Rodney than David.
Meredith rarely apologizes and never to that degree.
David, you're so guilty of cuteness.
Oct 2020 and this showed up in my feed! 13yrs! I still love David Hewlett!
"I've got a terrible problem... with rap," lol'd. Mister David, Sir, you are too good an actor. It seems almost everyone has taken your apology sincerely.
Dont worry about that solar system you blow up
It happens some times
Pretty sure Sam Carter did the same thing...
Solar systems blow up sometimes. He lived and learned lol. Kind of.
He only blew up somewhere between 3/4 and 5/6 of it... lol
@@RichO1701e she did it intentionally
You are my favourite actor and my favourite in SGA please bring it back
just saw your rap session it's hilarious and brilliant, and now this, please stop my tummy is hurting 😂😂😂😂😂
And here i thought he would apologize for blowing up 7/8 of solar system
Християн лазаров
Hey, It was uninhabited!
We watch Atlantis just about every day! We LOVE you, David!
UA-cam recommended this to me in 2021. Thanks :)
I love how UA-cam recommended me this again 16 years later

If any form of stargate is coming back it’s gotta involve aul doc McKay
This was a really great show! Miss it the most.glad I got the entire DVD set!
Man you were awesome in Atlantis. Just watched last episode of season 5. I was so dissapointed with ending. I already miss the show.
Apology accepted. We have all been known to make mistakes that can never be taken back. But in this time of emotional distress and embarrassment we send our love and understanding.

i almost fell for it! lol
dam u David! xD
this is amazing. your a wonderful actor! your rap was hilarious! i miss Atlantis T_T
We need more Stargate Atlantis
funny he was so good in Atlanta's I wish that show is still on
Did you know that this guy was a good actor even in Boa and Python.
Drew Russell I try...but those snakes don't make it easy...Thanks much! ;-)
any more dark matter or you kia when it comes to tv series?
Just had yt recommend this after watching all the tech talk with David on then
Why does UA-cam algorithm thinks I should see this 13 years later and completely out of context?

Omg UA-cam tricked me. I'm on mobile so the date was hidden. I was so confused about what must've happened. The end is epic.
Same

P.S.~ I too thought it was a “real” apology. Great acting!!!
Don't apologize David, you're still the best character on the show
He's the only reason I watched Atlantis. Him and Woosley.
Woosley lol, Woolseys' Asian cousin
Who watched it for woosley???? Wtf
ever watch china beach? it's starring mr moosley
Woolsey??? lol Nah Rodney + Ronon are the best ones imo
@@reclaimingfire7903 woosley????!!!!!! 😱😱😱
Best meme
I JUST WATCHED THIS AGAIN AFTER THE “LEADERSHIP VIDEO”
AFTER 12 YEAR
GOOD OLD TIMES
Who doesn't. Did you know the 'C' in Crap is silent?
This was really convincing xD
Hey I loved your rap! Seriously, you are an amazing at it!!!!
BTW, where can we get one of those SGA t-shirts from? They look pretty cool.
Still better than Logan Paul's apology vid

Man don't worry if u don't make mistakes ur not human. Tell u what u gave me more happiness on Atlantis u could do nothing wrong. Hey chin up and remember no matter were u go there u are
Loves ya man I wouldn't watch the show if ur not on it...
Would give anything if u would just say thanks or something

Yes, rappers have the disability to recognize music, that is true :)
No he won't do any better with an instrument. Remember, he told Carter how he studied to be a pianist and was told he wasn't any good at that either. Poor guy. But we love you David and alway's will.
This is a great video. :D
Dave it's all good, hope things have got better for you.
... with rap
I know how u feel....
Oh shit i thought he did something really wrong........... until he said rap lol

LÖV! /Swe
Ah yes, UA-cam algorithm. Just 13 years too late. Still on time!
That was hilarious!
McKay says sorry for NOTHING! Which brings up another question; do you cosplay as Dr. McKay?
Oh, I loved your caracter in SGA! Best wishes, a fan from Hungary! :D
I watch this on a regular basis as it never fails to crack me up.
I'm actually surprised that you make UA-cam videos....
Unfortunaly i discover Atlantis (with you) Later because i don't see tv anymore. Very sad about that.
Aaaa! You really had me worried there! I'm glad it's something easily treatable!
What a great actor. Wish I had seen this years ago. Well done. I am still smiling.
Well yes, of course.. i myself suffered from Systemic Euphoric Rap Syndrome, A critical disease where you think you sound fantastic and want to Rap to the world.... i myself sent a lecture hall into transports of dread as their ears were imploded and aneurisms formed in their brains... however be of good cheer; there is a cure..

Great ... if SARS and MERS combined, would it be called SERS? (Systemic Euphoric Rap Syndrome)
What was he apologizing for?
Listen to the very last word he said
Lmao for his inability to rap lmao.
You need to make videos like these more often! :-)
No entendi nada pero haces un excelente trabajo en tus proyectos . Saludos ...🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
hilarious
what? people took that video seruiosly?
Oh dear XD I could almost feel your lungs clenching and holding in the laughter 💕
Oh my! Hahaa... you really had me there for a moment. What an amazing actor! :)
Star Wars and Star Trek will never ever top Stargate in my book!!
This is a joke

Never apologize for being funny. You're absolutely brilliant.
Can't be worse than destroying a whole solar system.
So I just finished watching Cube and did research on the actors and now I'm here. And sad
Hey man you were my favourite actor in SGA please bring it back!!!!

Why is this now being recommended to me. I was in tenth grade when this was made.
i *love* this man. seriously, he's one of the very very few actors i'd actually want to meet in person.
keep it up :)
Damn I miss those days. Simpler times :/ And I miss watching you on Atlantis, David
