Most people don't realize why he was so amazing at the time he came onto the scene - the 70s was a comic revolution with comedians like Cheech & Chong and Richard Pryor all doing material never allowed before. It was all about drugs, sex, and the darker side of real-life and it was amazing and also really heavy stuff and when Steve Martin broke onto the scene he was the total opposite. His act and humor were stupid, goofy, and very light overall, coming out in a white suit and making balloon animals, wearing a fake arrow through his head, playing the banjo and then right in the middle of telling a joke yelling out, "HAPPY FEET!", and then dancing all over the stage like an idiot, and it was pure genius. He was such a breath of fresh air.
We got a bunny for my daughter, and named him Steve Martin. The first comedy routine I saw the real Steve do was in the seventies, when he put the bunny ears on to get laughs.
Well of course Steve Martin was a breath of fresh air. As noted earlier he didn't do drugs or smoke whereas Richard Pryor smoked even on his death bed and Cheech and Chong smoked a lot of marijuana.
wanna know what TRUE comedy is? youre watching it right now. it doesnt matter what kind of humor you like, he does it. slapstick, silly, musical, smart, dumb. he is the master of them all. ive loved him since i was 10 years old, and i still love him today.
Steve Martin was the first "rock star" comedian. He used to give comedy "concerts" back in the 70's where he would not only sell out venues big enough for rock bands, but people would actually be lined up around the block waiting to get in! Let's get small!
I was born this year and I always liked Steve Martin because my parents liked Steve Martin and Saturday Night Live and Johnny Carson of course , I always wanted to be on Saturday Night Live but we don't always get what we want , and who has time to drive to New York and hope they'll like you anyway
@@Gestr3482 It's 1000 times more difficult! Great actors cannot just go out and be funny or come up with material easily....yet several comedians jump to dramatic acting....cannot name one dramatic actor that has made a successful leap to being a comedian. Steve stated it took 10 years to get material for his act in the 70s. People think its easy to come up with stuff and I suppose it is however having that be funny for a DIFFERENT group of strangers a few times every week is a whole different ball game.

I can't believe he quit his day job to do this. You should have seen the man. People at work would go home laughing. Now it's just another boring day on the job.
Robin Williams was the funniest guy I ever saw on TV and we all know that he took his own life. So WHAT is to be gained in life no matter how successful you appear to be??? Only the Lord Jesus, as the Life-Giving Spirit, can fill the need inside of you. He IS the reason we all were born.
I'm amazed how people like you can take anything, any situation, that has NOTHING to do with religion and twist it into another generic, nonsensical religious statement. Do you ever see atheists constantly on UA-cam or other sites constantly forcing their beliefs onto you? No, you don't. It's only the selfish people deluded enough to believe in an ancient religious fairytale who feel the need to bother everyone with their personal beliefs. Just stop it. It's rude, and NO ONE who isn't a religious nut wants to hear. Have respect for other people who may have other beliefs and stop forcing your personal bullshit on other people.
You are an inhuman monster! Next time you are praising the lord, thank it for creating Lewy Body Dementia, the disease which drove Robin Williams to suicide.
You just have to ignore a lot of ignorant people you did not force your religion on nobody it's pretty ignorant to hate something that you don't think exist atheist have been trying to get rid of God for a long time and they will never be able to that's why they're so mad at Christians
I think you need to read the Bible a bit more. The Bible is clear to state that Jesus came only for the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 15:24)...That redemption was only for those who sinned while being under the first covenant (Hebrews 9:15)...That Jesus came only to redeem those under the Old Covenant Law, i.e. ancient Israelites only (Galatians 4:5)...And that the adoption into Sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law, the worship and the promises ONLY BELONGED TO ANCIENT ISRAELITES (Romans 9:1-4). As far as the Holy Spirit goes, according to Rev.7:4 only the twelve tribes of Israel, the 144,000, were sealed with the Holy Spirit on the day of redemption in the first century and then the end came. If you don't believe the Bible, well, EXCUUUUUSE MEEEEEE!
It hits at a level of comedy that not everyone gets. It might be called deliberate stupidity. I knew someone who described it also as "physical intelligence."
If you didn't find his fishing around during his 'magic' trick and his singing with laryngitis funny, you're not the type of person I wish to associate with. You're a little too thick.
Steve Martin was hilarious here. If you felt the need to comment that you don't get it, you are literally too dumb to understand that you're bringing your brick sense of humor to light. And I guarantee that anything you post when it comes to what you consider funny will show just how typical you are.

He also scrupulously avoided all drugs, which was the "weirdest" thing about him in those days. And probably the reason he's still alive and working.
Well of course Steve Martin was a breath of fresh air. As noted earlier he didn't do drugs or smoke whereas Richard Pryor smoked even on his death bed and Cheech and Chong smoked a lot of marijuana.
Much of Steve’s act was about MAKING FUN OF COMEDIANS AND HOW HARD THEY TRIED.

Ditto!
When life gives you lemons,🍋 give em to Steve. He'll do something amazing!👏
He could spoof magic so deliciously because he was quite an accomplished magician in real life.
He's an interesting guy; same deal with music. He spoofed the heck out of that, which he was great at because he was also a great musician.
I can't help imagining him doing this for Penn and Teller and Teller just flipping out!
Growin' up late 60's early 70's Steve instilled sarcasm into my everyday life. THANKS A LOT STEVE!
Steve Martin is pure comedic genius.

Steve Martin is brilliant!
Steve Martin you are Comedic Genius
I think Steve should make an appearance on Fool Penn and Teller. They would never figure him out.
I was born this year and I always liked Steve Martin because my parents liked Steve Martin and Saturday Night Live and Johnny Carson of course , I always wanted to be on Saturday Night Live but we don't always get what we want , and who has time to drive to New York and hope they'll like you anyway
Thank-you! I've been searching for this on and off for years.
Steve’s act has always been about making fun of entertainers by acting like a stupid entertainer. Pretty brilliant really.
What other comedian can go out on stage and be so hilarious without talking?
Very creative.
Complete genius
He is so ridiculous you cannot help but smile.
I'm Doug Martin, I am a rapping magician! My last song I whisper the whole thing at a library!! Steve is soo funny!! I love the 3 Amigos!
Steve Martin was Johnny's FAVORITE guest.
GENIUS !
this is hilariously funny
Thank you, for your efforts are appreciated!
One of the great tragedies is that he wanted to be a dramatic actor. Great comedy is much rarer, more difficult, and more valuable than great acting.
You are totally right
Eh...not sure I quite agree with that. It's rarer but I'm not convinced it's more difficult.

Steve Martin is great!
Thanks for posting this.
'...and the dog said "I've never had five dollars before..." ' :)
Beautiful.
I love that routine! Saw it with my Dad He never laughed so much. Is that on here?
Nothing is on the internet. Try Betamax at Blockbuster.
32 years later...Johnny Carson and Joan Rivers are gone....and Bill Cosby is....well...., looks like Steve is all we have left
Bill who?
Bill Muthafuckin Murray
Bill Cosby? Wasn't he the white guy who sang White Christmas? 😁😁😁
@@johnlloyddy7016 No, idiot! That was Kevin Costner!
Brilliant
Unbeatable skill
Did anyone see this guy on only murders in the building? 😂
He used a trick deck.
Gee, You think so
how did he make it.
No sound?
Steve Martin could easily do crude jokes when he wanted to, but he showed us you don't have to, to be funny.
the dog said, "this guy wasn't a very good magician, singer, or card-tricker." ~ tenderbastard
lol
420th to LIKE. 👍
I can't believe he quit his day job to do this. You should have seen the man. People at work would go home laughing. Now it's just another boring day on the job.
b flat!!
MOSTLY CORNY BUT SOMETIMES FUNNY
Can't believe he made it this long some funny things over the years. But great banjo player to bad his comedy wasn't as good

Just stop it. It's rude, and NO ONE who isn't a religious nut wants to hear. Have respect for other people who may have other beliefs and stop forcing your personal bullshit on other people.
Then you might want to get back to church and quit watching comedy videos on UA-cam, hypocrite.

Lame , lame , lame
it was not his best work for sure. i wasnt 100% aure what he was doong with that hanky
Not funny
Your sense of humor is broken.
I cannot understand how anyone finds his routine funny, he is awful. Fantastic comedic actor but his standup is horrible.
It hits at a level of comedy that not everyone gets. It might be called deliberate stupidity. I knew someone who described it also as "physical intelligence."
^ You explained his humor perfectly
If you didn't find his fishing around during his 'magic' trick and his singing with laryngitis funny, you're not the type of person I wish to associate with. You're a little too thick.
