By all accounts, Schlitzie was very sweet and loveable. God bless him. He was a star!

He was very sweet. I saw purity in his eyes :)

0:51 "I wish for a moment you would understand what I'm trying to say".

Love this movie despite its controversy. I always thought of Schlitzie and the pin heads as adorable rather than "freaks" or monsters. In fact I think the film does these people justice but everyone has an opinion.

I feel awful for Elvira knowing her sister Jenny Lee passed away only 2 years after this film. You can see how close they were. Elvira lived til 1976. RIP Elvira and Jenny Lee Snow, and Schlitzie.

Schlitze was so cute!!!

Schlitzie was a beautiful person, and watching him performing his role and enjoying it warms my heart 🤩❤️

"OH, how beautiful you look tonight. You're just a man's woman. If you're a good girl when I get to Dallas, I'm going to buy you a big hat with a loooong beautiful feather on it",, I always use that line, when I've had too much to drink. The ladies don't know what-tha-hell I'm talking about; I love it. I hope they never see this scene, they'll hate me.

Schlitze said "I want you to understand, I was just playing...understand?"

Vim pelos Fatos Desconhecidos.. Show..

Schlitzie Translation 0:46 "Are you sure or what? I was telling some jokes WHY? I want some and ima' get them on top Stan!" 1:05 "It sounds fun.. I STILL want some! I was tryna' understand but your ass was playing on with Stan!"

Oh, Schlitzie... A truly wonderful Actor, and a beloved person among all Freakshows. I wish I could have met the fellow; I would have been honored to shake his hand. Rest in Power, dear Schlitzie. You're immortal in your performances, and you live on through the ages in the Cinema and all circus/Freakshow Performers across the world!

I've been researching Schlitzie a lot lately. Especially after watching "Salty" and "Pepper" on American Horror Story: Freak Show. It's so adorable how much fun Schlitzie has performing. So cute!

Schlitzie is a legend of the silver screen!

I love those pinheads, were so innocent and tender characters . That's one of the best scenes in the movie , see Phroso interacts with pinheads ; not so the other circus performers who despised the Freaks . I think for that reason Venus fell in love with Phroso

He was so sweet ToT and I love that when people recognised him it made him so happy and that he truly loved acting and performing and would do so for birds in the park I read. What a genuinely sweet person.

this scene is adorable, it's impossible not to love Schlitzie

He was a pure soul ,I didn't know about his life story but after I know I'm weeping .

Imagine a world only lead by pinheads. wouldn't be so bad at all

Schlitzie is really cute, lovely and innocent 🤩🤩

As soon as my sister opened her eyes and saw me after her brain surgery, she said "Schlitzie!" to let me know she was okay. She loved the Schlitzie character, lol.

I love him so much. I wish he was alive right now. I would cuddle him right now and tell him "you are such an amazing person. despite all the hard things that you've experienced you still have that big smile on your face."

schlitzie is so cute ! adorable human being ❤ may god bless him.

God Bless his soul and I’d hug him, if he was still alive and if I met him in person.

One of the most adorable scenes in history.

Schlitzie had star quality! He stole every scene he was in.

People should not get so butthurt over how things USED to be. Consider this: Sideshow freaks at least had something to do, a place to be, where they were cared for, where they were appreciated for their differences, and where they actually performed some useful function. In fact, they WERE entertainers and enjoyed some measure of celebrity as a result. That's hardly the worst way to scrape out a living. (Is entertainment NOT useful in society?) If it weren't for these venues, these "freaks" might have been stuck living in some primitive version of a mental hospital for their entire lives, and there is no way that that would be a preferrable way to live their lives. If I had an arm growing out of my forehead I'd try to use it to rake in all the cash the market would bear. Laugh and point, but don't forget to throw your money at me.

People have always been offended by this film, for good reasons and bad reasons. Honestly, I think these defects should be known about and shown. Educate people and maybe just maybe "normal" people might relearn empathy. Their is very little that separates any of us from a random genetic "chance" that would lead to this or any other handicap. Few things are worse then forgetting the ones that didn't place even in the genetic lottery. We bitch and moan about those that won out due to rich parents, great genetics etc etc. Funny how we forgot about those that didn't have a shot in that lottery at all due to no fault of their own. Funny......sad.

Who watching 2019👍👍

Pobre rapaz. Descobri sua existência por acaso hoje, e vim aqui procurar algo sobre ele. Acho injusto chamar de "freak" uma alma tão pura como essa... Descanse em paz, Schlitzie ...

From what i learned, Schlitzie was well loved by every circus he was sent to and everyone just treated him with absolute love and care. He lived a good life and he won’t be forgotten thanks to this movie and AHS Freakshow. Rest in peace You amazing legend.

As much as Todd brown was hated for this movie as a man with celebral palsy for I'm glad this movie exists.

He's so cute!😊💗

Phrozo was a good dude, he didn't talk down to the "Freaks", he didn't take advantage of their kindness, he was totally genuine and treated them like the people they were. Plus, he wasn't afraid to take Hercules on despite being outmatched, guy was just as badass of a clown as Captain Spaulding was.

I first saw this film about fifteen years ago. I've been working with the disabled for about fifteen years now. Strange that it's taken me fifteen years to put two and two together. Thank you Mr Browning!

Schlitzie is my dear pinhead R.I.P

Schlitzie was just so sweet, adorable, and just all above amazing!

Schlitzie was a STAR!!

I remember seeing schlitzie back in the late fifties. And was in awe of him and the two girls that starred in the "freak" show. I just did'nt understand what they were and where they were from. It was a bit surreal, and amusing at the same time. they seemed to enjoy their work, and entertaining people and teasing us young kids. but to answere your question, they shaved their heads to greater accentuate the so-called "pinhead" feature. That was their life, and nothing demeaning was implied.

Schlitzie is me when I wear my hair in a tight ponytail.

Eu assisti sobre ele no fato desconhecido ... E agora me sugeriram esse vídeo de 11 anos atrás

I have always thought this scene is... well, it's almost adorable. I hate it when people look at a still/clip from Freaks and they say "Oh, how horrible" and turn away in disgust. These 'freaks', these people, exist, and there's no use ignoring that fact. They just look different, that is all.

Well-known American sideshow performer and actor, best known as Schlitzie Surtees for his role in the movie Freaks, was possibly born under the name of Simon Metz in the New York’s community Bronx in 1901. According to other rather “mystical” sources, he was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Maybe that’s why many of the circus posters billed Schlitze under the title “The Last of the Aztecs”.

OMG IT'S PEPPER FROM AHS ASYLUM

Awww that is really sweet tbh, you can see Simon was having loads of fun in that scene :)

Schlitze Was Male, died in 1971. Wikipedia is awesome.

I love Schlitzie❤

Awe, they're so cute.

anyone after seeing him in read dead redemption 2 ???

0:55 that is so much cute and adorable

Oh man sweet stuff . A higher plane . Schlitzie talks like Dylan sings ..........

सिल्झि खरंच आपल्या कर्तुत्वाला सलाम परिस्थिती ला ना खचता सगळ्यांना आपुलकीने सर्वांच्या मनावर राज्य केलेस आपणास मनापासून salut🙏🙏🙏🙏

this is real pepper omg

I met Schlitzie at a free concert in the park in the early seventies. He was very old and dressed in all black like a Rabbi and had a little hair. I couldn't understand what he wanted from me so he stepped on my foot real hard. It wasn't until I saw Freaks about a year later that I realized that was the guy! They always dressed him like a girl because it made him look weirder and he had less toilet accidents that way.

Most beautiful person and soul i ever seen❤️.

For the last 25+ years my wife and i have been greeting each other with whatever it is that Elvira says "hi sanfransan" . . our grown kids know the saying, but have no idea where its from

Fatos desconhecidos ???

"And if you're good girls when I get to Paris, I'm gonna buy you a hat with a BIGGER feather on it!" Schlitzie: It's no fair! "Ohhh, I'm sorry Schlitzie..." Schlitzie: It's all fine. It's your job. I was just jealous that they're the ones with hat.

Yes one of your fellow humans. you could have been born with that deformity.

This condition also makes you have eternal life, they now play on American horror story

Simon is still alive in my heart

Schlitzie translation 1:06 it sounds fun , a sewer shop. ahwahshajustplayin understand?

I am sad for schlitzie

he is the cutest!

"ONE OF US"

This dude in rdr2

Awww his smile! ♡♡♡

my fathers sister had an autographed picture of armless wonder Frances O'Connor...fun fact!

Schlitzie had the mentality of a three year old. Had he not been able to "earn" a living doing vaudeville, sideshows, etc., he would have been institutionalized as "retarded" or "mentally defective". In fact, later in his life, he was put in an institution for a short time, and nearly died, as he enjoyed performing. He was eventually put back on the stage and was happy. So while you may think it's "exploitation", the alternative would have been a life institutionalized in a horrible place.

Elvira and Jenny lee look like they were almost laughing. And the guy looks so confused what to do when Schlitzie comes back to pat him on the chest and say something, they just cut the scene right there because he was probably dumbfounded hqhq

Schlitzie just looks like such a lovable and great guy and looks like he could give great hugs. :)

Such a sweet, adorable little guy😄❤

sad that every being in this video is dead now.

Who watching the video in 2022

She looks so genuinely happy

Again and again watching his cute acting
