The handoff part is hilarious and it also explains why he missed all those shots. Only an idiot would think some James Bond shit like that would work. The clumsy way all the violence happens adds a layer of realism and humor that makes this show great.

That was fkin hilarious. The way he just kept singing that song after all the bikers were dead just shows how far he is from being normal. Love that show.

I love the fact that there is ZERO chase music. So when he is driving thru all the cars you can hear a lot of the audio coming from each vehicle. Love this show!

Idk why but the “SHES BACK UP SHES BACK UP” followed by her rising and getting shot again had me in fucking tears

The car salesman was something else. " not today ".

This is probably the closest thing we’ll ever get to a live-action GTA

all these fixed angles and minimal camera movements are great and so classically barry

Anyone notice at the end barry almost materializes out of nowhere? Such a subtle and awesome detail to the scene, he literally went ghost

I laughed my ass off at this guy trying to single arm hand off a M249 to a guy on a Motorcycle while moving.

How crazy is it that Barry is a "comedy" yet has some of the best action sequences in cinema history?

“HANDOFF!” Yep, these guys are definitely cut from the same cloth as Taylor. 😂😂

Most motorcycle chases: quick edits and cool stunts This motorcycle chase: shoot it like a GTA mission

Barry has truly gone insane this season. This whole scene is nothing but a speedbump to his day. 😆

This was better/more suspenseful than the majority of movie car chases.

I just love how he is humming "you're my buddy" randomly throughout the chase.

More people need to watch this show this chase scene was just 👌🏿

I love how he doesn't know how to shift gears so he's just revving the shit out of it. Explains why the bike ends up so fucked up (I think)

This was just…wow. Bill Hader is a truly remarkable talent and this scene was one of the best I’ve ever watched on a TV screen.

I remember my mom asking me to replay this whole sequence (at least) 5 times the first we watched it, before even finishing the episode. We were just in awe, laughing our asses off, and gasping. The lack of any music and just the sound of the sputtering motorbike, gunshots, and whooshing of the cars flying by. Just brilliant. I miss this show, bring on season 4 now please.

This is one of the greatest homage chase scenes in history. Brilliant! GTA Barry.

THAT....was an extremely well shot scene!! (No pun intended.)

I don’t think a chase scene has ever been filmed this way before, beautiful cinematography

the way he is mumbling the song all along this scene defines this show the best

One OF the best scenes I've ever seen. The silence... the noise, the anticipation. Honestly, the best TV show I've ever witnessed. I usually can't help but be distracted by my phone. Not with this show. Bill Hader is on another level. Every episode had me gripped. Never have I ever been enthralled as much as the entire series.

this scene is a breath of fresh air no over edited bullshit no generic action music just the sound of the bikes and the comedy that yoy get from the guy crashing his bike cause he can't grab the Machine Gun properly from the guy in the van

For those who don't know: the guy yelling handoff is the exact same actor from the Ronnie episode that is in the grocery store and gets destroyed by Ronnie.

This is one of my all-time favourite scenes, the way it's shot, no musical soundtrack, the suspense, the humour, and the quiet triumph of holding on to the beignets. So funny and amazing!

The cinematography scene is so much like something like Stanley Kubrick would shoot! It looks incredible! I honestly wish more content today would be shot like that.

Kudos too the creators for not adding music, its what made this perfect. The audio engineer also did an amazing job with the sound when Barry was passing the lenghty row of cars

This will go down with the Sicaro boarder shootout scene as one of the best in years. Its hilarious and dark. A great combo. The shotgun to the rooftop biker girl had me in stiches.

It's really well shot, and using realism as a comical device is genius.

For those wondering how Barry suddenly appears, it is almost certainly not him coming out of the left door, aka the door he entered. It also isn't cgi. If you look below the service & parts sign there is a side entrance. From a production standpoint, they probably had him run in, make his way around to that door, exit, stay behind the vehicle as he approached with the actors lining up the way he did to give him cover, and then split apart to reveal him once he hit his mark. From a narrative prospective this obviously doesn't work and yes, he did essentially appear out of nowhere. From an actual production standpoint this was simply a rehearsed and well timed scene to add that extra little laugh for the keen eyed observer. If you count the seconds he had more than enough time from when he entered to the reveal to do this with a few run throughs before cameras started rolling. He definitely could have come out of that front left door but going through the service exit is the more likely so they knew he'd be out of the shot. The door does seem to move based on reflections but that could have been it still closing slowly as the top of the door doesn't seem to move outwardly.

Don't know if anyone else has noticed but this is a reference back to the very first episode where Barry is sitting in traffic on a freeway and a motorbike food delivery guy races past the stationary cars and makes Barry jump.

Funniest line of season 3: "Hand-off!" Barry crept into my top 5 current shows on TV this season. And Hader directing all of season 4 just announced is awesome news!

4:05 ah yes the 2and amendment

The way this was filmed , the camera facing the rider , a few feet ahead , with the noise of the cars each side . Amazing work by Bill.

You're my Buddy you are my friend...

The hilarious absurdity of this scene keeps me coming back. I've watched this no less than 10 times in the last year.

Barry is probably the best series for sound effects, even the dirt bikes are on point

I wish I could rewatch this episode and season for the first time again because the cinematography went absolutely crazy

The show is so brilliant and the scene was wonderfully shot

Already a legendary show, this whole sequence just raised it a little higher!

It's actually insane how good this scene, as well as other ones in the show, is

When you're doing a sell mission in GTA Online in a full lobby

I find Bill Hader's direction very interesting. The way he approaches a scene like this one or the fight agains Ronny, is very clinical and realistic feeling. At the same time his writing and characters are bordering on the surreal, and of course we can't forget the humor. It all gives Barry an almost Lynchian vibe. I'm very excited to see what Bill Hader does next!

This scene feels weirdly removed and distant. Maybe it's because you can't see Barry's face because Bill didn't want to ride the bike himself (I don't blame him, Tom Cruise he ain't.) That, combined with the fact that you can hear his breathing the whole time kinda reminds me of 2001: A Space Odyssey, the way you feel connected and disconnected from the astronauts at the same time.

Excellent use of compositing and CGI elements in this scene. They're nearly invisible, but they're there, used for the shots where stunt safety is paramount.

I can't...im going to literally die from laughter

Applause to the car salesman who responsibly used his right to bear arms. Makes this priceless. Bad guy chose the wrong place to shoot. Lol

I love how the van dude just opened up with a machine gun while stuck in total gridlock traffic

0:17 There is 2nd gear and also 4 more ! USE THEM 😂😂😂 He nearly blew it up its only a 2 stroke baby

Car salesman deserve a raise for his service 😂

The dealership guy's a legend!

anytime Bill Hader directs, its like a cool version of Quentin Tarantino...he has skills and the episode from last season, wilth the Karate girl, also very Tarantino in its direction I love it, Love ya Hader!

This is like a GTA mission 😂😂 The guy popping out the sunroof with a gun. Shooting an entire car and no one moved 😂😂

2:34 🤣 That awkward stare after the rider crashes due to a failed “handoff.”

The voices and sounds coming from the cars as he speeds between the two lanes. SO great!

The car salesman made it much more entertaining

Classic Barry

HANDOFF!!!!!

this is one of the most realistic chases ever

Probably the best scene from this season. Blew my freaking mind how realistic it was.

This is so well shot. If you pay attention, Barry disappears at 3:49 inside just as the shooting starts, then somehow reappears in front of the group of five people at 4:08, even though he wasn't there when they initially ran over.

At some points it made me feel like Barry's dirt bike just wasn't going fast enough. Not a criticism, it just amped up the tension wonderfully.

Barry action scenes always on point 🙏

As someone local to where all these freeway scenes were shot, I can't help but notice that none of the progressing scene cuts make sense in terms of location but that's film magic for you! They made it work otherwise

So great, unfettered experience

For a relatively inexpensive comedy-drama television series, it has better action sequences than most big budget Hollywood action films.

I hope this new wide, long clip action style takes off, this was awesome.

Bill Harder its always clean with his directing

I love how none of the other drivers react to being shot at

Ted Lasso won the Emmy for Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series over this

3:18 half life 2 smg

Coolest, yet most casual chase scene ever in a TV show/movie

the sound on this is just amazing

I love how slow he actually drives that bike, realistic and hilarious at the same time haha

Proof that a good chase scene doesn't need music.

This show is just layers of genius.

This is such a good show. Bill Hader does a fantastic job.

Him pulling onto the freeway was so well done! I was laughing and intrigued at the same time

LOVE Barry! Best part was the guy flying into the back of the bed of the truck. 🤣

Did anyone else lose track of barry during the car dealership scene, runs inside next thing he walking away.

For those of us who live in L.A., the cars speeding by Barry on the freeway, the speeding and erratic drivers, and showing the gridlock are the most authentic aspects of that scene. Kudos B. Hader, you nailed So. Cal culture !!

Ok, I'm in love on how this scene was shot.

I watched this episode three times. I love the car dealerships scene. What is so funny the the car dealer does not flinch when there is gun fire. This must happen often.

One of the funniest action scene have seen so far especially the rooftop scene

Great background context to this scene. Barry just took out one of the shooters with his car and he hopped on his dirt bike with every intention to keep his dinner date

Best show I've ever watched

Absolute genius Thinking such a scene and pulling it off

The acting in the series was amazing. But the writing as well. This scene alone was just hilarious.

Barry was the best

Those 50 cc motors were Amazing.

I love that the beignets start on his arm the whole time.

Car salesman conversation is pretty accurate

My man couldn't do the pass off :'(

A scene that actually protrays the speed (or lack of) of a 50cc motorbike. Nice!

2:33 Look at his face when he says “HAND OFF!!!” 😂 🤣

Barry feels like the US mr. Inbetween lmao i love it

This is some of the best sound design I've ever heard in a show or movie.

This scene is awesome!
