There's something tremendously comforting about seeing these two actors who starred in one of the favourite films of my youth, and realizing they're still good buddies and even funnier IRL than they were in the movies. And we all need a little comfort these days.
❤
This is not the reply from this tab.
We all do, indeed.
But, what about their third amigo? That, my friend is a truly, truly, truly, truly, sad, sad, sad, sad, tale, tale, tale, tale, tale....
amen bro 🙏
plus I think martin short is the funniest person alive - I can always count on him to come up with something that'll crack me up
My favourite line has to be when Rosita says to Chevy - ‘we could take a walk and you could kiss me on the veranda’…Chevy responds ‘on the lips would be fine’.
Absolutely legendary film and the most talented trio✌️
It's a bit of a shame that Chevy seems to have alienated himself and gone the grumpy old man route. I guess the bigger they are the harder they fall. In saying that maybe he's cool with Steve & Martin, who knows.
@@TheTruthKiwiWho cares? Doesn't change the awesomeness of his funny movies.
Steve Martin had so many great movies out during my peak VCR renting years as a kid. 3 Amigos, Roxanne, Parenthood, Little Shop of Horrors, Planes trains and Automobiles, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Jerk... these were all staples I must have watched 40 times each. I actually didn't learn to love Martin Short until later, when "Glick" showed up, but now consider him one of the funniest guys ever.
I recommend Bowfinger. Probably his and Eddie Murphy's best.
Every time there are heavy droplets of rain, I always ask "is it regular rain? Or is it... chubby rain!"
I liked The Man With Two Brains and The Lonely Guy(Charles Grodin was very funny)
One of the best Martin Short movies, in my opinion, was InnerSpace.
@@LextheRobot I forgot about innerspace. That was a fun one.
My little buttercup, has the sweetest smile…
esmile esmile!
I say "It's a sweater!!" every time I open a present. Literally....every. time.
SAME!!
'It's a male-plane' is mine😅
The one we use all the time: "Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?". "Oh yes, you have a plethora."
"Do you have anything besides Mexican food?" is maybe my favorite movie line of all time.
I was born in 1989 and my dad played us Three Amigos a lot during the nineties. We'd recite the lines and do the moves on holiday. It's still one of my favourite films to this day. Whenever I'm at the gym, pulling wires always reminds me of Steve Martin in the prison cell. Comedy gold ❤
My favorite word is Plethora and I can only say it one way because it that movie.
The friendship between these two comedians is really enduring. It will stand the test of time.
And the test of time.
@@kitty1376let's not forget about the test of time
what, again?
I think 40 or so years is already a pretty good test of time
I like that.
I am so grateful for Three Amigos. One of my all-time favorites, and these two chaps are certainly a huge part of that. It's so awesome that this world includes people like them!
Unfortunately it’s not available on any streaming service, except maybe UA-cam, but not for purchase.
2:25 Steve's reaction to realizing it has been 38+ years gone by. That's a pretty universal human feeling.
For the next 30 seconds he's flabbergasted.
To this day, I still think The Three Amigos is one of the funniest movies EVER MADE. I grew up in my Mexican household with my mom & dad forever watching those classic Mexican charro movies from the 40’s & 50’s (sometimes called the Mexican Golden Age of Cinema) and this movie hits every single trope made in those films. An under-appreciated gem, I start laughing at this film even before the title card is on screen. These men are GENIUSES and I will forever love them for doing that movie.
Such a hilarious film
Very cool to get to read that perspective, thank you. I need to watch again, saw it in the theater, expected different and missed out. Gotta watch again.
I love the moment in Three Amigos when the three of them come to eat the humble meal the townspeople have prepared for them in gratitude for coming to save the town. They sit down. Chevy looks up to the girl and says "Excuse me, do you have anything besides Mexican food?"
The delivery of this line is remarkably timed.
I've always wanted to go to a Mexican restaurant and ask the waitress that, but I'll likely never have the courage, same with ordering coffee "black, like my men" on a plane.😆
Chase’s ability to just keep dropping food out of his fajita is gold
What? Are gringos falling from the sky?
my dads favorite he always quotes: I like these guys. They are funny guys. Just kill one of them
My favourite is around the campfire. Goodnight Rusty. Goodnight Lucky . Goodnight Ned. Then the tortoise says his line
My family has just binge-watched the first 2 seasons of Only Murders in the Building. It took a while to convince my wife it wouldn't be slapstick panto with old-bloke jokes. As fans of the new Perry Mason series, Knives Out, and other modern murder mysteries, (and a repellant father who constantly makes bad dad jokes), we started last week, averaged 4 episodes a day, and loved the Nathan Lane and Jane Lynch characters ... actually love all the cast. Can't wait for Friday night. We will start season 3 then.
"...and a repellant father who constantly makes bad dad jokes..."
Come on now. Don't tarnish our reputation. Our jokes are good, just a little misunderstood, I assure you!
Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and her character Poirot are great shows as well. Each episode is like a mini movie.
Everyone’s been saying it much better, but man the comfort and laughs these two still bring after all these years is so healing and bright.
I was 10 years old and we skated to a random theatre in Milwaukee and saw the Three Amigos. I played a couple rounds of the arcade game Double Dragon in the lobby... I remember it like it was yesterday. I miss those days being a kid in the 80's. I love all of Steve's and Martin's movies.
The Three Amigos, by far one of my favorite movies of all time. I can still hear my 21 year old son giggle when Martian Short falls on the table right after El Guapo has his snarky 'gringos falling out of the sky" line. Was thrilled to visit Old Tucson where some of the movie was shot. I even bragged to my sister and took copious photos. Thank you to all who made that movie so fun.
Three Amigos is one of my favourite comedies of all time. It's what I like to call a "mini masterpiece". I adore that movie and always have since I was about 5 years old, and it's one of those rare ones that every time I go back to it, it always still hold up completely. It's so tightly written, brilliantly performed, amazing music, pure fun, adventure and hilarity and even has a little sneaky depth to it while never once being remotely pretentious. Oh, and dare I say it, the finest costumes ever created! I'd love to sit down with these guys and hear some stories, even if it were just Martin Short as Ned boring me to death with his tales of Dorothy Gish!
Steve Martin Short never disappoints
Thanks for mentioning Patrice, I used to work with her...never realizing who she was until I ritually rewatched my Three Amigos DVD. The very next morning at work I asked her and of course had lots of questions for her. She was a wonderful person and does an amazing job with these comic legends as she was an accomplished actor.
37 y/o and I was introduced to these two watching Three Amigos growing up. One of my top 5 favorite movies❤
🎶My little buttercup! 🎶
Three Amigos is a "deserted island" movie. It never gets old. My favorite joke: "We could take a walk and you could kiss me on the veranda." "Lips would be fine." So good!
The best scene of Three Amigos was when El Guapo asks Jefe, "Do you think I have a plethora of piñatas?" and when Jefe thinks about it not knowing what the hell he's talking about but says yes anyway, he asks if Jefe knows what a plethora is. That whole scene was just ridiculously hilarious. 🤣
Quoted that scene so many times in my life. Epic comedy.
@@MaximumBob Would you say you've quoted it a _plethora_ of times?
Tell me @mizztery2994 what is a plethora?
@@mizztery2994
I didn't see it coming, and laughed out loud. You made my evening.
I like when he asks him, Jefe replies like a kid who's in trouble "Whyy, El Guapo?"
Notice that Conan doesn't follow up after Martin at 2:30 , talks about making the decision about having a 2 month movie-making experience and never seeing that person again, or not. Remember that there were 'three' amigos.
Conan is aware of the polarizing nature of Chevy Chase. He knew to not to bring him up to keep good vibes for the podcast.
In 2011 or 2012 I got to meet Martin short after a show , I was so nervous to ask but I asked if we could pose for a pic doing part of my little buttercup dance , he was happy to do it with me and the pic is a life treasure ❤ he was so humble and kind
This is definitely the best episode yet and my appreciation for all of these guys just keeps growing.
It's the best episode yet because I haven't been asked to do the show yet.
@@sstills951And who are you? Is there anything special about you that would give interest from a producer in choosing you as a guest for a podcast?
@@fishercourt well for starters I’m a pretty funny guy.
The fact that Steve mentioned two jokes as "his favourite" shows that the whole movie is his favourite
I have like 20 favourite jokes from that damn movie
Housesitter was so good.
I live 10 minutes from Old Tucson Studios where Three Amigos was shot (in part) and I couldn't be prouder. Such a fantastically funny and endearing film, and one of our all time favorites! Finally got to meet El Guapo in 2017! Such a lovely man
My dad got to watch the filming of Three Amigos out in the desert with a WWII friend who was an extra. Said the most amazing part of the whole thing was the catering tent. Lobster, steaks, amazing layout all the way out in the middle of nowhere. Oh, and the chickens getting out of the way when they jumped off the chairs. Strange how the mind chooses things to remember.
Dude... Steve Martin's films are LITERALLY some of the best things ever. "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles"... "ALL OF ME"(!), "Roxanne", "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (where Glenn Headley was BRILLIANT), "A Simple Twist of Fate", "Father of the B", "3A", etc.
And omg... the SNL monologue. "If I had one wish this holiday season..." 😂🤣😂
🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
The remake of Father Of, Martin playing the wedding planner.
You forgot The Jerk! Comedy gold!
This was such an incredible podcast to listen to. Great chemistry between all three.
As an 80s kid, I loved this movie so much. I remember I was about 6 or 7 years old and the Singing Bush was one of the funniest things I had ever seen. I have no idea why I found it so funny, but I remember laughing so hard I could barely breathe and was gasping for air. I would eagerly wait for that scene every time I watched it 😂
I'm so happy for the success these legends are having with Only Murders. Great show, and a great capper to their incredible careers!
my family and i watched Three Amigos over and over in those "10 years". was always hilarious and instant classic as an 80s kid.
Now that dad’s gone all the movies I experienced with him hold more value to me. This one is one of the greats. I’m sure Iwould’ve learned the word somewhere, but Three Amigos is definitely where I learned plethora.
The only reason I know about the word “plethora” is because of the Three Amigos.
I’ve never heard it used outside of that movie
Do you have a plethora of piñatas??😂
@@charlottesmom I would say I have a profusion or surfeit for piñatas
Love all three of these legends and have thoroughly enjoyed these snippets all week. I was lucky enough to meet Conan about 10 years ago and he was just as lovely irl as he seems on our screens.
It’s a sweater ! Lol best line
😂😂😂
Love The Three Amigos. Steve, Marty and Chevy all killed. Props also to Joe Mantegna as the studio boss: "You hit Harry Flugleman on a bad day!" always makes me laugh.
"Do you have anything besides Mexican food?" 🤣
I loved them talking about Three Amigos, one of my top favorite comedies. I always wanted a sequel as older amigos.
tequila shot scene
"Only Murders" is one of the very best shows out right now...these guys are amazing
i met steve AND goldie ( briefly ) accidentally during the shooting of 'house sitter" and he was GREAT ! i lost it now ( gave to a friend who was a BIG fan of his work on the JERK ) BUT he gave me his business card ! he was the nicest person and treats everyone with respect. glad to still have him in my life. THANK YOU !
I remember Martin Short on the Canadian show SCTV . He was very funny then and he keeps getting better . And Steve Martin has been in a lot of great movies . Really these two are just some really great people .
Yes, that Martin Short fellow definitely has a future in the "biz".
SCTV, yeah!!
Every time I hear about their enduring friendship that started with Three Amigos, I feel sad that Chevy never figured out how to let people in.
I noticed he wasn't even mentioned.
yeah sort of an on the nose moment when Martin was saying how after a movie you decide whether to leave the relationship there or continue it after wrap, and how we always see these two doing things but rarely with Chevy. i'd imagine it's also partly Chevy making the decision not to be close with others; these two are so sweet and humble they'd probably make room for him if he wanted it. despite all his bad press and burned bridges, if Chevy wanted to change and these guys did more stuff as three amigos, it would turn his career around completely - because we all want Chevy to be better.
My dream was to have a 3 Amigos sequel that catches up with the guys years later as they have one last hurrah to save a small village from criminals. It'll only exist in my mind but at least we'll always have the original.
@@davidlrogers In an interview of the three I saw at the time of the release, Chevy Chase made gestures that seemed to suggest he thought that Martin Short, who was less well known at the time, wasn't worthy of the attention he was getting. That was the feeling I had watching the interview in 1985.
I’ve heard Chevy is a real ass in person. Sad to think Clark Griswold isn’t a nice guy. 😢
3 Amigos is on my list of top 5 comedies of all time. Seriously still laugh and quote that movie to this day
Every year or so I go back and Three Amigos because of how genuinely hilarious it is every time. Love Martin and Short ❤
My brother and I are in our 40's and we still remember watching that movie as a kid. Its been on my list of old movies to watch 😁 but now has jumped to the top
"You two.....Youuuu....twooooo"
"Whip-poor-will....whip-poor-will"
"Look up here...look up here.....look up here!"
The Three Amigos is one of my earliest memories of seeing a movie in the theater. Loved it ever since.
Steve Martin could have fit in with my Grandmas brothers. They look alike and had humor beyond bearable. I would wake up sick from laughing so much at Christmas time.
I was 9yrs old when that movie came out and watching it with my mom and dad. Being from a Mexican family it's was so funny and stereotypical and we loved it! Till this day my mom, dad and I always talk and laugh about this movie. Thank you Steve, Matin and Chevy for making a fun fun movie!
In 1986, I was a 21-year-old college student and a fan of 1970's SNL, a big fan of 1970's Steve Martin stand-up albums, and a HUGE fan of 1980's SCTV.
I remember taking a young lady to a movie theater on a date (I believe the film was "Stand By Me"). Imagine the wonderment of learning of the existence of The Three Amigos through a coming-soon trailer.
This is one of the things I love seeing in celebrity interviews, podcasts, etc. When a few of the cast, whom had never worked together before, become friends during the production and stay friends decades after they worked together. It's heart warming. And much needed in today's climate.
Steve Martin has somehow managed to look 70 for about 30 years.
Bro, this is facts. I'm 39. Probably seen my first Steve Martin movie at age 9 if I had to guess. But I DO remember, this is what he looked like. 👆👆👆
I first started loving Three Amigos because it used to run on HBO quite frequently. It’s one of those movies that’s impossible to not watch if it’s on. It’s got great bits, quotable jokes, visual jokes, great performances. I was like 12 when it came out and I just thought it was perfect. I remember quoting the “kiss me on the veranda” joke to adults and getting a laugh. And the humor holds up perfectly. Very deserving of its cult status.
"Three Amigos" was clearly the inspiration for "Galaxy Quest". I love them both.
I always think it was an inspiration for Pixar’s bugs life.
The silliness of that movie, how effortlessly funny it is and the chemistry of this 3 exceptional people, it's what makes this movie so special❤
I'm working with Steve Martin and Martin Short next year and I absolutely cannot wait
The singing bush scene is epic. One of my favorite bits in the movie.
3 Amigos is one of the movies that I was super proud to show my son when he was old enough. Timeless humor
This had to be so fun to do!!! What I wouldn’t give to spend an hour just hanging out with these two…
Son of a motherless goat is still one of my favourite "swear" words lol
I watched Three Amigos in the 90s when I was a kid and it grew to be one of my favorite movies. The style, the comedy, the time period setting, it all fits together so well.
The Three Amigos is a classic....I recall that when my 2nd daughter was being born, she had the cord entangled around her... they didn't realise at the time, so they used a suction cap eventually to pull her from mum....
She came out.... then went back in... came out....went back in, about 5-6 times (my wife was amazing)...
All I could think about in that beautiful, extraordinary moment was...." gonna make it...gonna make it..!!"
When "list of greatest comedians" comes up Martin Short should be in the mix with Robin Williams, George Carlin, Tim Conway, Mel Brooks, Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder
One of the greatest comedies of all time. I've probably seen Three Amigos over a hundred times.
“Oh great, you shot the invisible swordsman.” Gets me every time.
How very meta! Steve and Marty discuss their roles as actors playing actors playing the three amigos !
I was 12 when the film came out. I loved it like the most precious thing anyone can love. Every frame of it. Every joke. Every song. It was perfection and it always will be.
Just started watching "Only Murderers In The Building" & these two are non-stop brilliant in it.
i just realized that these two were ALSO together in a classic movie....Father of the Bride.
At 46 years old my friends and I still reference that movie all the time
I didn’t realize Patrice Martinez passed away. Three Amigos is one of my favorite movies, I remember my Mom showing it to me as a kid. RIP. 🥺🖤
This interview is fantastic! it's good to know that the lines and scenes that have killed me for decades are Steve's favorite too.
As an 80s kid I absolutely love Thee Amigos. I am of that generation where it just stuck the first time I saw it and I've loved it ever since.
I remember being 9 years old and my dad took us to go see it in theaters. 😂😊. Memories ❤. Love watching thoes two Legendary actors. 😌🙃
Impossible to put into words how two people I have never met before but I can feel such a connection to.
OMG I love the "It's a sweater" joke so much from The Three Amigos. I will say that line at random as much as possible but LOVE it when someone opens a present that happens to be a opening an actual sweater.
I would give anything for an hour plus long live special with these 3
When I listened to this on the podcast, it was such a treat to get the extra 10 minutes of them discussing three amigos after Conan had said, 'guys, I'm going to have to let you go'.
When I was a kid I tried to buy the Three Amigos Original Soundtrack. I went to a few stores looking for it. I never found it. I watched the movie multiple times for that “blue shadows” song. Great movie.
I have a Mt Rushmore of favorite comedic actors, as we all do. These guys have been on it since I was a kid. I adore them. My son walked in the kitchen and was like is that the Cat in The Hat? ( Martin Short does the voice of the animated series)
Both of them have some pretty insane resumes of roles they’ve played over the years. There is a pretty big catalogue of movies to binge if you only first saw them in “Only Murders In The Building”. The Jerk has always been my personal favorite of Steve’s, and Martins would have to be Captain Ron.
Obviously the first thing they should watch is Clifford
@@Wabajak13 of course, one cannot forget Clifford
I wish they would bring back movies like that again.
They only make stuff like that for the streaming services now.
@@marks.3303 That's where it belongs.
Comedy movies are dead. They are so boring and "safe" today. Jokes have to be okay'd by a dozen executives and the only jokes that pass are bad jokes.
@@Paulafan5 Total BS. Good comedies come out all the time.
I could watch these 3 all day every day.
I'm a 90's kid and I adored 3 amigos. Some of the jokes took me another 10 years to fully get but it was just so well done and so funny that I'm still completely enamored with it.
Love both of these comic geniuses and sincerely appreciate their vast body of work - from SCTV to King Tut. Solid gold!
I love the way comedians from the lowliest stand ups to the famous successful ones can effortlessly dump on each other when any other professions it’s a possible meeting with HR.
These two are such brilliant comedic geniuses & have been long time inspirations. I used to adore Marty's "Ed Grimley" cartoon when I was a kid. Probably explains a lot actually... 🤣 I still watch Steve's work on the regular: "All of Me" with Lily Tomlin is a highlight as they were fantastic together, "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" & that corked fork still kill me, and the more recent "Bowfinger" is an absolute masterpiece of brilliant stupidity. My roommate is also a huge, huge fan of "Mixed Nuts" and I was amazed to find out that she hadn't seen much of his other work so I'm subjecting her to it all now, hehe!
And that's no lie...
Three amigos is one of the greatest comedies of all time. I absolutely love that movie and have made my daughters watch it numerous times.
Three Amigos was such an incredible movie.
I wonder if Chevy Chase is ever jealous of how close Marty and Steve stayed?
If is his best role.
I think I saw The Three Amigos in the theater when I was a toddler. When it came out on VCR I’d watch it over and over again. I was in love with young Martin Short. ❤
Three Amigos was basically in my pantheon of "best movies ever" as a kid alongside Ghostbusters, Goonies, and Neverending Story, and I think of those four it holds up possibly the best (though the other three are still great dammit). I remember "playing" Three Amigos at school with other kids in the late 1980s, which goes to show how it starting the rounds on HBO was the beginning of its rise to beloved classic status
I guess I like "3 Amigos", as much as the next guy. But it really astonishes me that a so-so comedy at the time became this Icon, when Steve Martin's absolute greatest comedy roles in "All of Me" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (especially), are hardly ever mentioned.
And of Course Martin Short's greatest comic character on film is Franck in "Father of the Bride" parts 1 and 2.
It's amazing what a long stretch of presentations on cable TV, will do for a movie. See the Shawshank effect as proof.
One day at work, I was trying to get a friend's attention, but not draw attention from the boss. At first I called to him quietly, and then a little louder. The boss was distracted talking to a beautiful woman and I realized no amount of noise was going to make him turn to look my way. I started shouting my friend's name in the office and he finally realized I was there. We commented it was just like a scene in The Three Amigos when Martin Short is trying to get the other's attention with bird calls until he finally shouts "HEY GUYS".
Steve Martin has looked like he’s 55 years old for 40 years.
This was a spectacular episode. Luv hearing stories about Frank, Jack and Elvis from my favorite century the 20th. Man do I miss those days....
As a teen, I was such a big fan of Steve's. I loved the Jerk, Dead Man Don't Wear Plaid, Man with Two Brains, Three Amigos, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Roxanne. Also would also enjoy whatever hilarious thing he would come up with for all his Letterman appearances. Still love rewatching these movies to do this day. I once met Steve maybe in 1993 or 1994. It was a surreal situation where I was meeting my all time favorite actor but I couldn't even think of a word to say to him.
Bowfinger is about the most underrated comedy I've ever seen. I still quote it on the regular. It's all good, it's a chicky baby.
The “gonna make it” scene with Steve Martin is my favorite.
