RIP, Robert Downey Sr. This film only grows in quality over time, and is so resonant today.

One of the funniest pictures of my youth. Just watched Sr. What a guy!

No, I say he is just relaxing with a friend. This whole thing would be PTA's idea. This guy is his hero, and Putney Swope is one of his favourite film oddities. Even the character Buck Swope (Don Cheadle) in Boogie Nights was named after the movie. And Robert Downey Sr. is even in Boogie Nights, as the guy who owns the record recording studio, the one who does "mp" and yp" scene, "my problem" "your problem" scene.

R.I.P. Robert Downey, Sr. (June 24, 1936 - July 7, 2021)

Now I understand Jr's Tropic Thunder performance! Haha. Excellent...

and if you don't feel that your the creative type jump right in and help someone with what they are doing.

"That's not an MP that's a YP. Your problem."

RIP To the actual Worlds Most Interesting Man

Putney Swope: far the funniest film I have seen since Blazing Saddles. It's a masterpiece.

i wish they'd had the two of them do a commentary track for each film.

one of my favorite films of all time - EXPLAINED FOR SQUARES

Seeing this film this Friday and I can’t wait

Lol RDsr is like a tougher more brash version of RDJ😂😂😂 I can see where RDJ gets his confidence from lolll

It seems fitting that PTA would love this film as a man who went on to become a master filmmaker. He didn't know what was possible and this film, albeit amateurish on purpose, showed some of that.

RDJ has his gestures, his nose and his laugh ... They're a really beautiful family :) ♥

"Have a ball, baby" is my favorite line in any movie ever

what a great series, sad it's over now.

RIP legend. Rest easy

RIP Bob Downey Sr.

Where is that quote from PTA? I've been looking for it and Google brought me here.

The origins of Robert Downey, Jr. 's particular comportment.

This is legendary! 🔥❤️

Thanks for your thoughts.

lol at PTA drooling over the actress in the fan away commercial. "My Girlfriend" lmao

The first time I heard about Putney Swope was when I was working at a book store while completing my first degree at WVU. A college girl came in and wanted to know if I could order it for her. She talked about her love for the film for a good while. This was right before the internet became a thing, so it wasn't easy to see an out-of-print film like Putney Swope. I watched it a while back on the Criterion Channel. It's okay, but I think it's a classic due to how subversive it would have been at the time.

I like that Paul is basically laying down for this

A true cinematic classic.....

It amazing that Paul payed tribute to him in Licorice Pizza.

this interview actually makes me understand a bit better, why his Junior is the way he is ^^

I hate that these videos aren't on the DVD

best thing on youtube.

Howard Stark lol

Damn, I gotta revisit Putney Swope. Been too long.

Love this/

Define the Criterion Collection style...

True genius.

Man I need to see this movie, looks great lol.

Downey Sr. was a stud...

Guys got a remarkable son XD

did he ever explain why he put his voice over the lead actors? I want to hear the original voice

RIP

Can someone explain the mounted fish joke? I feel dumb

RIP LGEND

It's obvious the lines were dubbed.

Goodnight sweet Prince.

Sounds so different than his son.

SWOPE!

Licorice Pizza… for Robert Downey Sr (A Prince) 😭

Ha! Sadly no..

Mark Focus

Did they explain why that was part of the Criterion Collection?

Robert Downey Sr. sounds like Alan Alda so bad!

Other than the drug part I think Robert Downey Sr raised Robert Downey Jr pretty well because RDJ IS A FUCKING SWEETHEART

Martha's [Plimpton] mom was really hot

Well I could... I could.. Try! To eat! an air conditioner! But I don't think I would like it.

Dick Gregory??

That scarf is 100% necessary, just by the way.

Family, what robert downey jr did we do with our latest in 2004? 👮👩‍⚕️🚫👰🍼👼

Haha.

Roberts dad is a lot more cooler than him.

Bingo Gas Station signing in

Is P.T.A. unhappy to be there, or is that just how he always acts? I mean this fourth part he doesn't seem so bad, but in some of the earlier ones, it's like he wasn't keen on all this.

That black man.... looks a lot like Robert Downey Jr. o_o

1:45. Rosario Dawson???

4:05 gf

A prince? Or a putz

God free .....dj vlad

Is the interviewer relaxed or what ?

Mediocrity.

All my hipster friends made me watch this movie once and it really sucks. The jokes are college improv level, the acting is average to poor, and the voice dubbing of the main character is just annoying. It may have been funnier in its time, but it doesn't hold up to the extent that it is worthy of preserving.

Putney Swope is an absolutely God awful movie.
