Buster knows a guy for 30 seconds and makes up a song about his life while giving him a nickname that’ll stick forever.

When you're vilified by the community but your charisma is 10

"when you're unarmed your tactics might gotta be downright Archimedean" god tier dialogue

Buster singing about how no one will miss Joe, then immediately Joe's brother comes in mourning his death is the funniest moment in this whole movie for me.

He has such a creepy look on his face when he kills people...it's like he goes from the nicest guy in the world to a complete lunatic. This guy seriously needs his own FULL movie, such a good actor.

I wish this chapter had its own movie. It was so good.

Buster straight up killed a guy using only a table, then made up a diss track about the guy on the fly and got the whole saloon singing it with him. It’s a tragedy how little this movie actually had Buster in it.

The Coens should have made a whole movie prequel to this chapter. Really nice character

God I love how the audience goes from being eerily quiet, having just witnessed a man die before them, to joining in a fun, catchy singalong tune at the victim's expense. One of the best scenes in a Western film

"Humankind he frowned upon But not now, his face is gone" Underrated line from this movie

I thought the sheer ambiguity of this story was just amazing. The slightly sinister vibe you get from Buster the whole time despite him never doing anything explicitly dishonourable (on the face of it) is a huge testament both to Tim Blake Nelson's acting and the craftsmanship of the writing and production staff. The way it subtly deconstructs the archetype whilst simultaneously embracing it is just so damn entertaining.

Best line at the end (in the book): “We give him to you, as he gave to you so many. We humbly ask, Lord, that you never give him back.”

To be fair, If you walk in to a saloon, find your brother is shot dead, and everyone is cheerfully singing a song about his death mere moments after dying, you kind of have to kill the man that killed him. If not for his death but for making his death a musical. Still gotta hand it to Buster on this haha

"I'm not a devious man by nature" 😂 Coen brothers' writing is legendary

We NEED a full "Buster Scruggs" movie🤣A full movie with just Buster Scruggs would be beyond epic.

This was the most elaborate teabagging in all history.

0:51 anyone ever notice the card player who's pissed that everyone broke out in song? He must've had a good hand

I guess the 2 dislikes are from Surly Joe and his brother

Bashing someones head in and instantly coming up with a diss track off the dome is the most gangster shit possible

Dude: **kills a man in a saloon** Dude: **starts singing** Piano man: "Well, I guess I'm obligated to provide accompaniment." LOL

Perfect casting for Buster Scruggs, this guy needs his whole film

0:48 I like how the piano player exhales the smoke of his cigar right on the beat. Such attention to detail!

Comical how at 1:44 Surly Joe’s distraught brother just drops his head to the floor with a pretty good thump. Wish a whole movie would be made dedicated to the Buster Scruggs character. All of the supporting cast is perfect as well. Tim Blake Nelson is a genius actor. His amazing hillbilly accent just brings such a comedic brilliance to this character.

Buster Scruggs: "Won't be missed by anyone!" Surly Joe: Proceeds to be immediately missed by someone

Love how the French guy goes from downright terrified at 0:20 to starting to get into the groove at 0:54 and then absolutely living his best life at 1:08 🤣🤣🤣

I love Tim Blake Nelson's singing voice. It's so unique!

I just watched roughly the first half of the film, and now I'm very much addicted to this song 🤣

That was so awesome how Buster helped lead the pianist, and the pianist knew where to go!

Buster needed an entire movie. This wasn’t enough.

Am i the only one who favorited the gold mining short ? I thought the scenery and camera work in this whole movie was beautiful but especially in that chapter. Stunning if you ask me

I could have totally went in for 2 hours of this. Something about the entire tavern celebrating a man's involuntary suicide while his brother is there freaking out with this smart-ass singing in the background just makes me smile so hard.

"Joey?... Joe?!?!... WE'VE LOST HIM!" "Where his face has got to, we don't know! He was never any fun, now his grumpy race is run! Yes sir, blown to Kingdom Come, old Surly Joe!"

I love the foreign guy who's scared shitless, get blood on his face THEN starts to have so much fun when the song starts

Every segment in "Buster Scruggs" is a cinematic masterpiece. Poignant. Hysterically funny. Dark as Hell and so completely unique! I have been hooked on the Coens ever since, "Fargo". But best not get too fancy in my comments here

"A cedilla on the C of Curly Joe!"😂 Man, I love this song..

Shout out to my ancestor Buster! We remember him fondly. We honor him to this day. Our family crest is a rabbit holding a shotgun.

Clever. He used a lever and a point of fulcrum to move Surly Joe off this world, and then says when a fella is unarmed, his tactics need to be down right Archimedian.

I wish this was a finishing move in Red Dead 2

i could replay this over and over

Dude even sang a farewell song for the deceased who he put to sleep...What a Gentleman, Man of Culture...

*Lyrics* Surly Joe, the Gambler. He will gamble nevermore His days of Stud and Hold 'em, they are done It was long about last April, he stepped into this saloon But he never really took to anyone Surly Joe (Surly Joe!) Surly Joe (Surly Joe!) Oh, wherever he's gambling now, I don't know (We don't know!) He was slick, but I was slicker. He drew quick, but I was quicker And the table stopped his ticker, Surly Joe yee-haw! Surly Joe (Surly Joe!) Surly Joe (Surly Joe!) Won't be missed by anyone will Surly Joe (Surly Joe!) Humankind he frowned upon. But not now, his face is gone Guess your frowning days are done oh, Surly Joe (yee-haw!) Surly Joe (Surly Joe!) Surly Joe (Surly Joe!) A cedilla on the C of Çurly Joe (Surly Joe!) He was mean in days of yore. Now they're mopping up the floor One more sight to make him sore oh, Surly Joe (yee-haw!) Surly Joe (Surly Joe) Surly Joe (Surly Joe) Where the rest of his face has got to, we don't know (We don't know!) He was never any fun, now his grumpy race has run Kisser blown to kingdom come oh, Surly Joe (yee-haw!)

Buster needs a prequel film. The entire movie is good, but an outlaw who kills enemies Looney Tunes style. and mocks the dead with a song deserves more time. EDIT: WOW, I came back to watch this clip, had no clue this comment blew up. I would say thanks for the likes -- call you "kind folks", but Michael Esposito and goji got surly about it and didn't approve.

The Cohen brothers with another home run. Two of the greatest filmmakers in history.

Always enjoy it when Buster clips enter my feed.

One thing I just noticed that makes this even better is that he's tight lipped before and after, but as he's kicking the board, you can see a big grin on his face in profile.

The best scene in the entire film and I love it so much.

He turned that saloon into a party. 😂

Even that nickname," Surly" Joe, is pure genius

Funniest line of this movie was when Buster Scruggs tells Surly Joe's brother that his death was: "... more in the nature of a suicide ..." 😆

I like how the pianist just turned back and started playing to the tune :))

Amazing how he turned an entire room from shocked silence to good times with a musical cowboy

When your brother is killed and his killer has engaged into a Disney-esque, cheery musical act and everyone you know is singing along.

This chapter definitely needed its own movie, Tim Blake Nelson did such a good job with his part. Buster was definitely lots of fun to watch!

That Frenchman had a tense demeanour as long a that bully "Surly Joe" was alive, but the moment a song gets brought up he's all like "See THIS is why I came to the Wild West!"

Tim you are an absolute genius. I love the accent. You're so doggone funny. I play country music in a band and I'm going to add surly Joe to my song list. You deserve an Oscar Tim.

What's hilarious is how the segment parody of what you expect a white hat in a classic western: he kills only in self defense, respects the local law, and loves to sing rather than fight. But the film twists it around by putting all those tropes in a new context so that it comes blackly comic and disturbing.

Pan shot!!

All of the stories in this movie were great but I can watch Buster scrubs for an entire feature length film; that much is true. And the way he made this character come to life is really really amazing. He said this character so perfectly it really blew my mind.

Surly Joe the gambler he will gamble never more 😔

I love how this a musical scene that actually makes sense in the context of the movie in a realistic way. It's so musical yet no one's dancing or singing other than Buster, the "Surly Joe" chant is simple enough that the entire bar could've picked up organically and the melody is so classic that the piano man was bound to know it and make it work.

I love Buster and his horse, Dan. Definitely the best segment. One of the song's funniest lines, which I didn't catch the first time, is "A cedilla on the C of Curly Joe ," meaning the "C" is pronounced as an "S," so it's pronounced "Surly." Also when one of bad guys refers to Buster as The West Texas Twit. Great parody of Old West nicknames. And the last scene with Buster - no spoilers - was icing on the cake.

So much to love 8n this bit. The pianist is an acting genius. That puff of smoke! The make up on surly Joe, genius. The look on joe’s brothers face. Genius the card playing dude switching sides so eagerly. Countless small details that are gone with the wind.

The dance when he’s slapping his knees is downright hilarious!!!

Love this dude, dispenses his brand of justice and has a great time doin it, he truly lives his life to the fullest.

When you play a Lawful Good bard and roll an 18 in charisma.

The table stopped his ticker?! Holy moly the writers.

The little smile when the piano guy starts playing while he isn't looking just makes this so much better.

Love that one dude who's just pissed off his game got ruined.

The San Saba Song Bird. Herald of Demise!

"He was mean in days if yore, now they're mopping up the floor, no more sights to make him sore, Ole Surly Joe"

We need a whole movie of this

Fess up, has ANYONE ever seen that table flipping move in ANY movie before? Brilliant and funny as hell. The pure contrast between the intense violence and that cool-ass move made this one of the most creative scenes in any modern movie IMO...

I know a Buster Scruggs movie is out of the question, but a guy can dream.

Buster Scruggs is a bard who just rolls nat 20's all day.

A cedilla on the C of Curly Joe! That’s gold! 😂

Nobody does pitch black humor like Joel and Ethan. Hard to believe a western anthology is the funniest movie I've seen this year.

Hey Netflix and the esteemed Cohen Brothers, you really need to do an entire full length movie about Buster Scruggs. PLEASE!!!!

This song just makes me.... Happy

We really need a prequel to Buster Scruggs.

I'm gonna object to wanting a Buster Scruggs movie. I want a series of Buster Scruggs shorts. It's the format Looney Tunes works better in too.

when you max out luck, perception and charisma

This was the best part of that movie.

Love Clancy Brown ... big man with an authoritarian voice.

0:48 i love how the pianist let out the smoke for the drop

This scene cracks me up more and more every time I watch it! 😂

Buster never ceases to amaze me. How he could come up with the words to that song at the spur of the moment is incredible.

Can a movie be more perfect

This was my favorite scene from the entire movie. I wish he had more parts. I loved him and this song

I love the perfectly timed moments in this film, Like when he patted the Piano Players back and the cigar smoke came out at 0:49

Best musical number ever!

Red dead single player be like

Bring Buster Scruggs back from the dead and keep him going as a show! Love this cowboy!

Coen Brothers just know how it's done. Haven't had this much fun watching a western movie in a long, long time. Nuff said.

The greatest song in movie history!

Gonna watch this movie today. Tim Nelson is a great actor. Loved all his performances.

RIP Mr. Krabs

love the puff of smoke at the piano. so good

This actor is GREAT! Award winning for sure.

Now I aint got but one ‘Like’ left... well, best not get too fancy

This movie was really good, love the music too
