I love how urgent and terrified Field's is when he sees Mr. Muckle coming. So well played

Fields was a genius... I never realized how funny he was until recently ... I can’t stop watching him

"How about my Kumquats" is a line as priceless as it was one intended to grate on the nerves. And an Oscar should be awarded to he wjo played Mr. Muckle for crossing the street. Ingenious comedy. WC, we miss you.

The way he called him " Honey " how adorable !!!!

Great comedy. If you notice, the pack of gum never actually got wrapped. It is still on the counter when Fields walks away.

"I've got a piece of chalk! Do you wanna play hopscotch?" This kid wins the Utter Randomness Award of 1934.

WC Fields, comic genius

If I were stuck on a desert island and I had one movie, this would be it.

"I'm not going to lug that with me . . . send it!" : Mr. Muckle.

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I love the way he calls Mr. Muckle "honey!" I didn't have to dig through my closet of old videos...you were so kind to put this GEM on youtube!!! :-)

The genius move at the end is to grab the handle of a shovel and use the shovel to pry or lever himself out of the dust bin. It's nothing he could not have done differently, since by the end of the scene we have been laughing for over 5 minutes. It's almost a throwaway gag, but it highlights Fields's extraordinary physical talents combined with his comedic insight giving us another classic W.C. Fields moment. This is, after all, an expert juggler, and a man who once ran the table in pool with a broomstick and some chalk.

Very funny, that blind guy was quite the character. 😎👍

Blind and deaf guy is "the house detective at the Grand hotel" .............genius

NEVER AGAIN In History will there ever be REAL GENUINE TALENT like this from the old Masters; (Laurel & Hardy, W. C. Fields, The Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton) etc. I also love Mae West who is in another category. Thanks for uploading these videos.

Only Fields would have thought to make a blind man a menace rather than someone for the audience to be sentimental about -- brilliant!

The girl who wants to play hop scotch later became Josephine the plumber on the old Comet TV commercials. No fooling.

As fresh and funny as the day it was made. That's genius.

"you got that door closed again" oh man...that has got to be one of my favorite scenes of all time.

I love all w c Fields movies he makes me laugh more than any other old time actor. Who doesn't love Mr muckle!

whenever i get down, i watch this clip and get hysterical.

I have LOVED WC Fields ever since my dad brought home some Fields 16 mm movies he found on his trash route in 1970s

Do not trust anyone who does not like WC Fields. Seriously!

Mr. Muckle: "I'm not going to lug that with me!" (one tiny piece of chewing gum)

My favorite comic cinematic genius in one of the funniest scenes from his masterpiece, "It's a Gift." "Sit down, Mr. Muckle. Sit, down, honey."

Never in all of history has a man needed 10 lbs of kumquats so badly!

This scene and the scene where he's trying to sleep on his porch, and then the guy comes along looking for "Carl La Fong!! Capital L small a Capital F small o small n small g...LaFong! Carl LaFong!" are the 2 funniest scenes EVER filmed!!

one of my favorite comedians EVER.

W.Cs movies use to always be on TV and now you can't find them on any channel. It saddens me to no end.

He's trying so hard not to mind the fact that the guy is destorying his business!

how could one man be so dam funny no matter which movie he is in, his pool is my favorite

Sit down honey. Sit down MR Muckle please dear!

These six minutes are funnier than the last five years of today's movies.

My father once said the nuns at his school called the kids "honey" because "the children were slow and thick". That's not a joke.

stand back kids, watch the master..

FYI: we had a kumquat tree in our backyard in CA...It's a fruit that looks like an apricot only smaller in size... delicious. Leave it to WC Fields to add kumquats to the dialogue. It is a funny sounding word. LOL

Now you know why he was called a comic genius and he was one of the best jugglers ever he wrote and directed a lot of his movies and if he didn’t he had a lot of input usually he made a script up what he would say along the way

W.C. Fields was way ahead of his time!

Anytime Feilds or Wallace Beery was on on in the 50s I got to stay up and watch. Good times.

I'm here to tell you I miss many days from school to stay home to watch this in the morning on Johnny Grant.... great comedian....

Send a pack of chewing gum, I don't want to lug it 😀

The funniest film ever made. Peter Sellers must have drooled over this.

LOL!..LOL! One of the funniest scene ever!

oh god , i cried tears of joy , i saw this thirty years ago and nearly wet myself , and it is still funnier than anything since

...and the whole time Fields is bouncing around this scene with the roof of his hat punched out..LOL!!

THE most naturally funny man in the history of comedy,.,,,the incomparable WC FIELDS! he was also the greatest juggler the world has ever seen,

Fields was a comic genius, one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time!! ''He's the House Detective over at the Grand Hotel"" LMAO!!!!

"I've got a piece of chalk! Do you want to play hopscotch?" LOL So bloody odd.

I'd love to go to the veggie department at SuperFresh and start yelling about kumquats, but nobody would get the joke :D

Calling him honey and dear, lol!!!!!

W.C. Fields was truly a comic genius who’s talent will never be matched.

Genius. One of the great scenes ever.

BRILLIANT! Thank you so much for posting!

The P.C. gestapo certainly wouldn't try it, but they would sure as hell CENSOR it.

How about my kumquats!

IT'S A GIFT should be required viewing for anyone who would like to claim to be "funny."

He had perfected the physical comedy for years in Vaudeville. As a kid I though he made it look effortless, now I know why...he had done it hundreds of times. He was brilliant.

Sit down Mr Muckle. Sit down honey.

I have this movie and have watched it 100 times. I still laugh all the way through. I recently loaned it to a friend and he wasn't impressed with it at all. Go figure.

One word: genius.

Sit down Honey!

"Sit down Mr. Muckle honey! Sit down! Sit down!" If this isn't funny then nothing is.

That man sure loves kumquats

SIT DOWN MR MUCKLE

Fantastic! Thanks for posting

Nobody is funnier!!!!!

As many times as I've watched this scene (movie)...

When I first saw this it was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

one of his best !!!

That's because nobody has class like they used to. They almost ran over that kind old gentleman. :)

i just realized 10lbs is a helluva lotta kumquats

BEYOND HYSTERICAL ⭐️⭐️😂😂⭐️⭐️

brilliant !

I have had the line "I want my kumquats" floating around in my head for years but couldn't remember what it was from. I used to think it was a made-up word.

Here's a bit of media trivia--the little girl who wanted to play hop scotch with Fields was Jane Withers, best known as the "Comet Lady" in TV spots for Comet Cleaner. She also appeared in an episode of The Munsters with guest star Richard Deacon. KUMQUATS!

Lockdown essential viewing! Feel better already 😂

He used a shovel to pry himself out the trash can Classic . Some real close calls with mr. Murkel crossing the street.

I wish that I could be as blissfully dumb as Mr. Muckle. (But without having to sacrifice my eyesight of course.)

Coming coming coming...

Loved it!

I laughed so hard I peed myself😂

It's unbelievably hilarious ,a Real genius

There's nothing like having a little fun with the afflicted! LMAO!!!!!!!!!! Let's see the P.C. gestapo try something like that today!

Har-OLD !

"Ya got that door closed again, huh?"

Love it! thx

😍😍 W.C. FIELDS WAS SUCH A CRACKUP.😂😂😂😂😂😂💕💕💕💕💕

..i love the Mr muckle bit

my favorite fields bit

top man,thanks for the clip

Fantastic Fields.///The funniest thing I ever saw on TV was a 'Get Smart' episode where Maxwell Smart meets an Oriental archvillian called "The Claw", except that he introduces himself saying, "They call me... The Craw." Of course...: "Ah, pleased to meet you, Mr. Craw." "No, you idiot, THE CRAW!" "Oh, yes...Mr. Craw" "No, you fool...." and so on.... Saw that once, 50++ years ago, still a chuckle. Google it, maybe?

I think the guy should get the kumquats somewhere else

My cat's name was Mr. Muckle. He died from old age and/or rat poison. He was a good kitty, if clumsy.

a true genius and and as a lover of sugar and yeast infusion my hero.

Man. That guy really wanted his kumquats.

Bring back slap stick comedy like this

best ever

I'm dying when he using the pipe like a phone.

thank You!

A few funny WC memories. Ah yes, Drink...one of the greatest pleasures in life. CHEAP...it cost me $5 a gallon! On our excursion to Afghanistan we lost our corkscrew...we had to go for days, on food and water. I bought a wonderful club in Toronto, yeah, a Canadian Club. Why do you drink so much...cause I like it. I noticed today that WC is even funnier, if you slow the playback speed down to about 80-85%. :)

For those of you who've never eaten a Kumquat, they are delicious.
