Will Settle Salvador Dali Have you ever worked with Walt Disney?.

''yes''

Great comment for a great material. I just found this on YT and I´m liking it. It reminds me of a show I used to watch as a kid in Cuba. Who knows, perhaps "inspired" by this one.

"ies"

"no."

Yes he did

bingo

@@booklover3959 to say it in his own words: "yes."

Nobody said he was bragging.

@@DrummerJacob Golden63 said so, but in a negative assertion, a manner that would be misleading into thinking that someone said he is bragging.

LOL 😃

Yes

Yes

He even appeared in Adverts on T.V in the early '70's and was criticised for it.

@@maxinemckenzie6076 I dimly remember him in an ad for Alka-Seltzer, or was it Pepto-Bismol?

@@Lucius1958 ‘remember him’ like when it was actually happeneding?!

I think he was a guest in Dick Cavett's show. Look it up, much funnier than this clip. He even brought a friend.

4 ppl got this reference

Brilliant!

good one

Lol

Hahah

It was!

No celebrity guest today has the wits to make such clever replies, sadly.

@@user-fe8de2gu5v They have the wits but aren't allowed to use them, the jokes always needs to be lowest common denominator. One important thing to remember is that we no longer have celebrity artists. Outside of Banksy, no one has any real fame.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Such good timing!! Honestly that woman must’ve been a riot.

Right? I wonder if anyone had the presence of mind to save that sign-in board? And if so, whom? And where is it now? And can I please have it?

DIY Improver You kno wat? I had that exact same thought! Sadly I suspect it was just thrown away. I too would love to have it! Apart from its sentimental value I'm sure it would be worth a lot of money now.

@@jasontuck-smith3896 I remember reading he would pay for stuff by drawing and signing art on his bills, so surely they'd know its worth.

Yes

Yeaaaa performance art!

He was one of a fair number of Spanish artists who lived in Paris.

@@nrn312 I actually think he didn't move out of the country because, unlike other Spanish painters of the time like Picasso, he was sympathetic to the Franco regime. Anyway, he could have moved around for other things, I don't know...

Not forgetting that his native tongue was in fact Catalan.

Yes

100%!!!

In his mind, he was in other universes which we will never know

Vladek Ezra Completely agree with you. He dealt so much more than a common painter...

Bluelight Spike; I beleive he was astral travelling and u can go to the moon in your dreams if u want to.

@@jadeshannon5583 like lucid dreaming

The Sentinel His memory still persists

Everything Dali did was surreal lol. That's just the nature of the man!

agreed

How is this not the top comment?

*claps and points finger guns* I see what you did there

back when tv was kind of smart

A past culture we will never see again.

Yes

It's a wonderful world out there.

Shows like "What's My Line?", "I've Got a Secret" and "To Tell the Truth" have never been surpassed. Some truly remarkable moments in those shows.

My favorite episode of the latter: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grxzjbellr-wcWQ.html

Yes

Yes! :D

jes

hjyes

I honestly don't think he was trying to mislead them, he was being honest, the things he's done I'm sure required athleticism and writing and have him as the leading man.

The way he even writes his signature is pretty athletic in my opinion.

This is the perfect answer. Most people complaining didn't really know to what extent his real talents went. Yes he boasted but with great merit.

Innuendo Channel Et Picasso était communiste, Dalí non plus.

Then the anecdote would be lost. It would translate as "Picasso is a communist, me neither" as once uttered by Dalí. Later became the inspiration for the Serge Gainsbourg song "Je t'aime...moi non plus." (I love you...neither do I)

Innuendo Channel Really? I need to explain you what MJ did?

Nostalgic NZer'He certainly was.

Dali yes

Yes

Yes

Yes

No.

Yes

Yes

up

A militant? A engineer?

@@empnadajhhh9469 HE would not describe himself as "scientist" as that term was created in mid-19th century. Also, anatomist and doctor are rather redundant.

A MIC sycophant?

yes

I would say under certain conditions that we would have to accept the possibility that our guest could be considered of a tree variety, but it isn't necessarily germane as to what we're trying to arrive at.

deepstarsix YES!

I just cackled.

They say his English was very good!?

Beautiful comment right here!

It's surreal

Yes, people certainly are in the midst of de-volution now...

@@maydom04 I blame the education system.

EXACTLY!

People have gotten more stupid over time.

indulge

IT's up to the USA to get this show back on and I hope they do and it did cover Australia as well when it aired coz my mother used 2 watch it and I wasn't born at the time.

>endulge u wot m80

Trump comes pretty close though.

What's wrong with shortening shit down?

+Eric Taylor Small world.

***** Of course not. He's the guy who made the weird painting with the melted watches.

+Eric Taylor "Persistence of Memory" is the weird painting that is being talked about.

+Eric Taylor LOL! Mine, too! The man was a genius! No matter how surreal a painting could be, as a viewer you could imagine just "stepping into" the scene and everything was really normal & ordinary!

haha le epic art humor hehehehe ebin reference to his most iconic piece hehe

lol I got that!

"Ehh ehno."

He died on 89, that's actually crazy cause people believe him to be like DaVinci type old

YES

Stone TheCrows;Mr Daly had a great job!

Yes

All of them in fact

That was the T.V. accent. You had to learn that back in the day. It was partially because the mic quality was very lackluster.

Did you notice the large gap between her mask and the lower side of her nose on our right side? Perhaps she peaked?

Tall Gary "Her" being Arlene Dahl.

As of August 2014 she is still living, so one must say she has not yet "peaked." But I meant to say "peeked." I was surprised to see that Arlene Dahl is the mother of Lorenzo Lamas.Tall Gary

I was thinking the same thing, out of nowhere she asked about a mustache?! She absoutely peeked!

Tall Gary This was Arlene Francis, not Dahl. Esther Williams was the mother of Lorenzo Lamas.

If you want to see a true work of art, visit his home in Port lligat near Cadaques, or the Dali Museum in Figueras and also Gala Dali Castle in Pubol where you can find the elephant statues in the gardens.

Dali Museum Monmatre, Paris is really worth a visit too :)

One of my fave stops

Ah, but let's not forget the Dali museum in Monterey, California as well ☝🏼

Go to Catalonia...visit his home, his museum....drink it all in.

Thank you! I was wondering about this published work. Now to scour used bookstores

he also had published at least 2 books before 1950s "The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí" and "Hidden Faces"

It's funny because Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote, was once kidnapped and held hostage for 5 years in late 1500s, untill his family paid ransome, by a mediterranean pirate named Dali Mami, who may have been Salvador Dalis ancestor. He thought so anyway.

Yes

@@nightspicer Neither of those were published with Random House though.

lol

lol

That's why it's funny...

@Mike Fletcher Aaaand it was shot in the 50's

Apparently, in a time machine.

Joao Sa'; lol

lol

Gozer: Then Liiiiiiiiive!

Max Stirner Moment

Some might call him a creator of worlds I suppose.

“no”

In fact it was his fourth

@BALBINO SOBREVIELA JIMÉNEZ And even then, he was Catalan, he didn't have the most fluent Castilian Spanish

@@RoderickVI oh please...he spoke Spanish Castillian perfectly.

@@RoderickVI It's a common foreign misconception to think catalonians don't speak spanish fluently, because the huge majority of them do as much as any other spaniard. But it's even worse to think Dali didn't speak fluent spanish because of being catalonian, because he was in fact very oppose to catalonian independentist movement and that's exactly the kind of thing which makes Dali a less valued artist by catalonian ultranationalists, which had to promote plain shitty artists like Miró or Tapiès instead as catalonian marketing tools. Shame on them, because Dali was and always will be the greatest catalonian painter. And boy did he liked to be spanish.

No

KefkasLaugh ... Yes, then interesting people made tv. Now tv makes pseudo people.

Now, even with internet, it's getting harder and harder to find interesting thing to watch..

I feel sorry that you cant find anything interesting now.

@@makaveli201071 Unnecessarily - I've said it's getting harder, not that it's impossible. I also have a good amount of other interesting activities, beside "watching", so feel free to breathe a sigh of relief ;)

Yes

YES!

Indeed!

miloesalazar This has the ring of a famous aphorism, and yet I do believe you've coined it! (Correct me if I'm wrong.) It does, humorously enough though, remind me of the hypocritical avant-garde artist Paul Newman plays in the 1964 film "What a Way To Go" (satiric screenplay by Comden and Green), who proclaims to his girlfriend (Shirley MacLaine), "Money corrupts; art Erupts!" "Ohh, that's a beautiful saying," she replies admiringly. "It's immortal. I just made it up," says he.

An eccentric genius artist too.

Incredible and very true quote! I appreciate your mind!! 🙏💫

And to think, Dali only died in 89, That really isn't TOO long ago.

@@Adrian-wd4rn I know! When I was little, I thought he died in like the 1800s lol.

You're thinking of Picasso.

So glad for that!

TV was invented in the 1930's and he died in 1989, that's a long history.

not really if you think surrealism was just a reaction to the rationalism that led to WW1

Want your mind really blown? Google Hieronymus Bosch a guy who was on the same level as Dali but better and way more weird but.....he was 500 years BEFORE Dali !!! The Garden of Earthly Delights is the best IMO.

@@djomegaminus His artwork is beyond bizarre and some have been used for record covers.

Sad when you see where we are now

Feels like watching Reviewbrah

You don't like the "cash me outside girl" or "honey boo boo " ?

Yes.

Me too!

That was the joke, misleading realism.

"leading man" means movie star. He was in a few movies, but he wasn't known as a leading man like Leonardo DiCaprio or anything.

@@lUnderdogl That was not the joke. The joke is that Dali was being misleading when he answered affirmatively to the woman.

He definitely was a leading man

@@thefart He was not a leading man in the regular understanding of the term. He was a man who lead his field, but he was not an A-lister male hollywood celebrity that was regularly cast to star and draw in larger crowds for blockbuster feature films.

You mean devolves...

but they are at a fancy dinner party with someone- its fucking Dali heh

Most empires only last 250 years

It's called the trans-atlantic dialect. Most people in broadcasting or in the upper class learned to speak this way. Average people didn't talk like that.

@Tom Walsh you're right, not sure why I said dialect

Dali wrote Fifty Secrets of Magic Craftsmanship about how he conceptualized, his habits as an artist and philosophies. A great read with lots of notes, doodles and inspiration.

The ironic thing is that while the constant "yes" answers were humorous and certainly in line with Dali's perception of himself, almost all was true. In addition to being a ridiculously talented artist, he was an accomplished sculptor, designed sets for ballets and films, designed a very limited run of cutlery, co-designed fashion with Christian Dior and at the time this was aired, true to his word, had published one fiction and two non-fiction works. The one exception that stands out is that none of his published works at the time were by Random House. He wasn't a leading man in the context of the question, but I'm sure that in Dali's mind, performing the daily role of Salvador Dali qualified. :)

+ZeppelinBigFan a film that provided the material for one of The Pixies' songs (Debaser) :) Not that anyone asked

Justin'Excellent line!

Mariano Noriega'He was an eccentric genius!

Yes.

He wasn't trolling. I mean, he was notoriously a troll, but he wasn't in that particular context. He was just answering honestly. He had a poliedrical talent. He painted, sculplted, wrote, directed movies...he did a number of things, in fact.

@Finn Goldberg Oh yeah, everyone at that time that wasnt allied to the communists were fascists. Even americans and George Orwell(and well known anarchist) were all labed as fascists by the reds.

@Finn Goldberg He lived in italy during the spanish civil war where he didnt chose a side, didnt hang out with mussolini.

It was actually a complicated question because the question was phrased "do you do drawings, like comic strips?" rather than asking if he is a cartoonist. I would have definitely said "yes" too.

Thanks to Federico García Lorca

I think they were laughing(not because he was a writer)but it just seemed their wasn't anything he couln't do and yes that is Dali!

They were laughing because he did everything

Yup, actually he co-wrote “un chien andalou” with Luis Buñuel

He was misunderstood. It's hard enough to appreciate him now let alone then. They did recognize him immediately when they realized that he was primarily an artist also known for books and film production.

Is this itself a piece of art? Yes. Fixed that for you.

Olaf De Laat'Indeed it is a work of art!

YES!

"are you a performer" - b*tch this whole broadcast is me performing right now u ask.

And the way they created each other in the end, shaking hands with the gentleman and kissing the hands of the ladies.

Is it really that different?

YES!

Decline of the West 😢

Exactly. People back then talked so much more formally. I wish people could still speak like that.

We've become such a dumbed-down society. 😥

@@JohnJApanovitch it’s difficult to do. Less commonly used words in any language will inevitably be phased out

@@JohnJApanovitch yo we out here dawg.

And so articulate. The M.C. could explains things so quickly because he used the correct words, rather than stumbling around repeating swear words.

And yes, there were only 3 stations then, all popular.

At the time this program began there were only 64 American cities with their own television stations; though most had only one, they could be affiliated with any of the then current 4 networks (DuMont, NBC, CBS, or ABC). What hurt the CBS network (which originally aired this show) was their advocating an industry-wide shift and restart of ALL American TV from the VHF band to the UHF band for their incompatible color TV system (it wouldn't work with the then current black and white system). Add to that the FCC putting an indefinite "freeze" on new television licenses that lasted until 1952 also didn't help matters. The number of CBS stations lagged behind the others for many years in the 1950's.

That would require a refined, polite and well-spoken audience. BWAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Never again!

"back than" "we'dd"

"Is there something quite unusual about our guest?"

Multi-talented...

it still comes on tv

Bring it back but have the panel be guessing internet handles.

It wouldn't work if they revived it. It would be so trashy and full of loser reality "stars"

I t could absolutely work with the right comedians and newspeople

There's a French thing like this that still exists but on the radio

It's very funny.Try viewing him interviewed on The Merv Griffin show,that's hilarious.

a Dali! omg

+Bill Northway Imo, also the best.

why did they wanna kick him out

Betaboog Basically, they didn't like his subject matter. Surrealism is a representation of the subconscious. Basically, if we're being honest here, there is some real freaky shit in people's subconscious. Dali was right. They weren't true surrealists because they wanted to censor and shy away from true explorations of the subconscious mind. Ultimately, they were the enemies of this kind of art despite helping to pioneer it and delving quite deep into it. One example is that he had anuses in some of his paintings. They brought this to his attention. So then he hid anuses in plain view in his paintings. He was the master troll. You see that when you read his words and thoughts, I recommend doing so. Some really hilarious shit in there.

+Bill Northway Picasso tbh will probably go down in history as more famous.

colbyricho That's all good but I believe that Dali was much more skilled than he. His level of detail is unparalleled. You really have to see it to believe it. Detail alone won't get you there, I realize but that's just 1 reason why I think he's the best. It nearly goes without saying that he's the most interesting artist I've ever heard of and that translated full-bore to his work. That's another reason. Basically, the public is only willing to go so far with art, that's why pioneers, legends, like Dali, will not be remembered as much. He went 'too far' and many people didn't 'get it'. Fear of the unknown and one's own self-imposed conditioning to the limited size of their box.

Is this supposed to be funny?

Do you think this is a motherfucking game or comedy show ? HA ?

Ayoob Marafie "Yes"

No it isn't

Technically he was an alien because at that time in America, foreigners were known as aliens

@Regina George why? Is it because it makes you feel higher class then you are?

@@aspider3254 Damn, you took the words out of my mouth. There are certainly programs probably like this out there. It's just that the tastes of the people who watch TV now don't prefer some dude in a suit talking like he's giving a speech at the country club for every little instance.

@@WaldoFindsYo but why is "talking fancy" better?

@@aspider3254 idk what you mean

Well this kind of programs looks more healthy. Not only vocabulary. Nobody is fighting or shouting. Nodoby is doing something stupid. Just healthy fun.

@@andresmartinez2345 so you're telling me that supporting a nationalist dictator, who himself was supported by Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini, arguably the two most well known fascists in existence, does not make you a fascist?

Not really.

Guernicaman the pope’s ring was kissed in his hand.

The Dadaists could really be considered the original shitposters lmao. Dalí and his surrealist contemporaries built on that

It's one of the greatest things I have ever seen too.Now I can;t stop watching Dali interviews because he's so funny.

lol

+Neil Jo

Neil Jo well his wife, Gala, signed him up for such ventures...money in them thar hills. And in the staid fifties, Dali and the Beats made for interesting cocktail conversation, so says my mom.

Yes,I agree.

I think the show was pretty cool lol

excellent,one of the best comments on the show

I'll say!

The only time Dali rubs his chin is when she says that

Almost everything is unusual about him !
