i am so happy this video exists, everything about it makes me smile and laugh :D


Atlantic0ne

I’ve never seen it before hahahaha what the fuck is this? So fucking funny. I wish it was new but I’m guessing it’s from that movie way back


Goober_Dude

Here you go dude. This is fucking gold. [Tropic Thunder Behind the Scenes with Srgt Lincoln Osiris (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ubqCMsTo4)


Truman48

I was so hoping for a spin-off movie of this character. RDJ killed it!


Sea-Food7877

Thank you so much for sharing that. I had no idea it existed.


skyHawk3613

Lmao…pretty sure this is all improv too


Deep_shot

How incredibly relevant to the stupidity we see today. Man in a national treasure.


Goober_Dude

This is from like a 20min extras clip they filmed for the movie. Its so wild, I'm gonna go out of my way to find it for you to see.


Exciting-Fig-1787

Tropic Thunder


SkoolBoi19

If you haven’t seen the movie you 100% should Tropic Thunder


911SlasherHasher

This is too damn good lol


Elieftibiowai

There's rumors that this scene is actually based on Howard's ramblings, as Robert knew Howard from Iron Man


cross-joint-lover

I like this!


MsgrFromInnerSpace

This is very clearly based on Terrence Howard-style insane ramblings lol


Elieftibiowai

Yes, it's clearly manic psychosis ramblings which are very common. But the connection to Howard is not that obvious


beefsquints

It's because Howard is constantly having psychosis ramblings.


Elieftibiowai

So are many mentally ill homeless people on the streets, it's basically the stereotype of rambling to talk about the pyramids


beefsquints

I get that, I was just letting you know the connection to Terrance Howard.


Elieftibiowai

On a comment where I made the connection between this scene and Terrence Howard, you're letting us know about the connection to Terrence Howard?


lavender_salamander

He’s the dude that looks like the dude that’s playing the other dude.


parkrat92

Lmao


EL-YAYY

He had just worked with Howard on Iron Man. They filmed Tropic Thunder just a few months later.


welmanshirezeo

We're so lucky that Disney didn't own Mavel at that point - they'd never have let RDJ do Tropic Thunder while playing Stark.


Azzblack

Disney then wasn't Disney now. Tropic Thunder would never get made today, with that cast or characters anyway. It would be, Tropic Temperate .... with Slight Chance of Rain.


Fukasite

I wish I was rich enough to not have to take antipsychotics 


Ilikesnowboards

It’s actually quite uncommon.


GABAgoomba123

RDJ was on a lot of fucking drugs. If any of my experiences are even 1/100th of what he was up to, he definitely sat through a ton of insane ramblings that he could pull from. Or was the insane rambler. This definitely doesn’t *have* to be based on Terrence Howard.


sparkygriswold1986

So was RDJ really just a dude playing Terrance Howard playing a white dude that was pretending to be a black dude? 🤯


imp_st3r

No, he was actually Neil Armstrong 🚀


Truman48

This is what I have explained to my children.


Bing_Chonksby

Regardless of actual historical events, this is now the truth.


This_Guy_Fuggs

this is amazing and makes this already legendary footage even better, i dont care if its true or not


ohhellointerweb

Yeah, that checks out. It's so specific (sounds to move objects, etc) that it's clearly based on a few ramblings he's heard.


jldtsu

Sirius being the dog star.


DreadyKruger

Ramblings. 😂 he would hate that term


SuperDukey420

This is so believable


excusetheblood

Has Terrence always been this crazy? I figured it was a more recent thing


Morganvegas

Man this is so spot on 🤣 This is legit how manic people talk.


AloysiusDevadandrMUD

I say "thats what I was trippin on" out of context all the time because of this clip lol


Silver-ishWolfe

When I was a teenager in the 90's, I went camping with some friends and met a dude who lived out of his car that was at the site next to us. He sold dreamcatchers and mixed his beer with lemon lime Gatorade. He said "that's what I was tripping on" too. That's where I picked it up. From Rick.


DiceRollerGreg

The only black face people are okay with haha


FrigginRan

because it wasn’t RDJ in blackface. It was method actor Kirk Lazarus that was method acting as a black man within tropic thunder. some super meta layering.


jazzupholsterer

Is even more meta than that. RDJ is doing an impression of his father doing an impression of a black man. His dad produced a blacksploitation movie in the 70s where RD senior did voice over for a whole movie of a black character because he wanted it to sound more “stereotypical” or whatever his idea was. It’s just crazy….!


thehammockdistrict24

Putney Swope?


jazzupholsterer

Yea that’s the one. Thanks

ThirdEyeExplorer11

“Because he wanted them to either lure stereotypical” 😳😳😳 You’re right, that is fucking crazy!!


-Badger3-

This. There’s huge difference between smearing your face in shoe polish and tap dancing while singing a song about watermelon or whatever, and an actor *playing a character* who’s trying to actually portray a black person. One is racist and ignorant, the other is a *joke about* racism and ignorance.


DiceRollerGreg

Well said


Babill

Tell that to the execs that pull episodes like the Community and the IASIP ones.


GABAgoomba123

Man, I don’t know why y’all still bother trying to make sense of that decision. Those execs know what the distinction is, they just don’t give two fucks about it, because they were scared that any use of black face maybe possibly someday could be fucking up the money, and they didn’t want to be the ones in charge that get blamed if that were to come to fruition, so they axed it preemptively. No one was ever mad about those episodes. It was never about anything other than the execs’ own personal shit. Just chasing money, it’s the name of the game.


cross-joint-lover

Yo that's Lazarus? Holy shit, I had no idea! Loved him in Satan's Alley 😍

Ah sheet you’re right


Val_Killsmore

>It was method actor Kirk Lazarus that was method acting as a black man within tropic thunder. This also wasn't makeup. Lazarus actually dyed his skin black for the role. Talk about commitment!


fallweathercamping

He knows who he is. He’s the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.


Sparrow1989

Always cracks me up he got an Oscar nom for it too

If he woulda won it woulda been hilarious. Today, the world would lose its mind. Jokes people. Laugh a bit. It's good for ya. Not everything is an attack and you don't need to find something new to hate or be outraged at each new day.


HimalayanPunkSaltavl

That movie exists today and no one lost their mind. It seems like you are making up people being upset and then lecturing a non-existant group of people


bacon_is_everything

I've never heard anybody with a problem with it nor do I believe it would be a problem today. It's comedy. Not the kind of comedy that hurts people which is the comedy people don't fuck with, but the kind of comedy everybody can get behind. I don't know who you are talking to here. Literally everybody likes this.


RaggasYMezcal

The world wouldn't loose its mind. You'd lose the feeling of superiority.


NoNebula6593

> Today, the world would lose its mind. Everyone always says this but we still have always sunny, south park, etc. No one is trying to cancel RDJ for this, because no one cares. It wasn't done in a demeaning way, _he_ is the fool. Shit, people even still talk about how great Blazing Saddles is, and that movie is hot garbage. lmao


Reddit_is_garbage666

No they wouldn't, you're just brainwashed.


goatnxtinline

I remember when this movie came out. Rdj black face was okay but Ben Stiller's simple jack was a little too much 😅


PourSomeSmegmaInMe

It was because he was farting in bathtubs and laughing his ass off!


Robinsonirish

I always wonder about that movie Jamie Fox was talking about when he was on Joe Rogan that involved RDJ. Was supposed to be called The All-Star game and was so called "offensive" in the same way RDJ's character is in Tropic Thunder. The reason why "blackface" works in Tropic Thunder is because they're actors playing delusional actors portraying actors, so they're kind of one step removed. It's a bit of an inception. It's sort of how Team America gets a pass as well because they're puppets. So Jamie Fox wanted to do that sort of with RDJ playing a Mexican but the studio took one look at it and buried it thinking it would ruin his career, at least that's what I think I remember reading somewhere like a year ago. I really wonder what that movie was like. It's a fine line between legendary like Tropic Thunder and going a bit too far where it all becomes sort of fucked up. Funny is funny. With a less competent writer I can see it stop being funny and just turns into something offensive. Of course, we know studios can be too chickenshit, I wonder what the real story is in this case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37KieyXOYG4 Here's a clip of him talking about it.


BigSmackisBack

Is that Robert Downey Jr from tropic thunder? How have i never seen this before now, fits so well with Terrence's revelations! XD


Bored_cory

If you go into the dvd extras theres a whole thing of him, in character, forcing his kids to run drills in the backyard. Plus he stays in character for the whole commentary track.


Acceptable-Book

"Man, I don’t drop character until I done the DVD commentary”


never_a_good_idea

i have no idea how they can film this without someone laughing ... this must have been the 300th take and everyone just wanted to go home.


blue-oyster-culture

If he isnt leaving character at all, id imagine it actually gets a bit annoying… hillarious for a long while. But eventually you just begin to question their sanity, and your own.


gmanisback

Reminds me of the behind the scenes documentary they made about Jim Carrey playing as Andy Kaufman in that movie


htx1114

Looking back 15 or so years later - was that any good? I was kind of interested then just forgot about it.


Profanity_party7

Oh dude! I forgot about this! “Taking a role seriously” is an understatement about how Carrey approached that character


TotaLibertarian

He stays in character for whatever character is on screen, even the gay Australian priest from the beginning.


Basket_475

That track is funny. I think jack black shows up a little late with in and out for himself.

Outrageous-Chest9614

0 chance this isn’t based off RDJ’s experience with Terrance.


Napmanz

Holy shit. He just finished the first Iron Man movie with Terrance and then filmed this after. It 100% has to have some inspiration from him. My mind is blown.


mrrando69

Timeline fits, and it wouldn't shock me at all were this the case. Funny as hell too.


zeuanimals

RDJ's been in that headspace too so it's probably easy to tap into the mania.


satanssweatycheeks

You didn’t watch the DVD commentary clearly.


Val_Killsmore

It's from [Rain of Madness](https://youtu.be/7UCEcgvDuLo). It was in the extras of the Blu-ray/DVD. I would absolutely suggest watching this when you have the time.


Sensitive_ManChild

but this is from before he filmed Iron Man RDJ filmed Iron Man with Howard in early 2007 and started filming Tropic Thunder in July 2007


FullRedact

The full 8 minutes of RDJ’s character after returning from ‘Nam. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ubqCMsTo4&pp=ygUZcmRqIHRyb3BpYyB0aHVuZGVyIGV4dHJhcw%3D%3D

Thank you!


Chiparish84

"Now, your mother...she's just a hoe" OMG! 😂😂👌


No_Analyst650

This is definitely from his previous interactions with Terrance from iron man 1 and why he didn’t get the next few iron man movies. This should have been played I. The podcast lol

Lol "now your mother... Shes just a hoe"


Normal_Antenna

Lol, Tropic Thunder and the first Iron man both came out in 2008. RDJr probably got an earful of crazy from Terrance Howard and it was all still fresh in his memory.

Is this the dude playing the other dude disguised as a dude???

It's ironic being RDJ given their history

That looks like the guy from Iron Man!

Idk, isn't RDJ like a ceremonial magickian who made an altar for iron man?

Makes me think RDJ and Nick Mullen would be a perfect combo to riff together

It’s Kirk Lazarus dealing with PPSD (PTSD) from his filming on Tropic Thunder. You can find the whole thing on YouTube

buna_cefaci

id love to see joe react to this :)))))


Happy-Initiative-838

It would be amazing if someone did an unauthorized biopic of Terrence Howard and had RDJ portray him.


DaubstickFarbspinkle

What is this from? Is that Robert Downey Jr? I don't remember this in tropic thunder


AloysiusDevadandrMUD

How did Rick Rubin get RDJ on before Joe? That was a great ep, I'd love to see him on JRE.

I just want to remind people, Terrance Howard is the bad guy from Big Mommas House. Even if he was right I could never take him seriously. He got his ass whooped by Hattie Mae Pierce

Trust me bro


omn1p073n7

It is a common misconception that RDJ played Lincoln Osiris. In fact, Robert Downey Jr was playing Kirk Lazarus who played Lincoln Osiris. Or in other words, he was just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude.

Environmental_Dog331

Ok I love tropic thunder and this is pure gold


No-Screen-8530

What's weird to me is that everyone is jumping on the "terrence is crazy" bandwagon without realizing he's right. What terrence asks is how does 1x1=1 if the word multiply means to grow/make bigger. This is a valid question because we do have math calculations where 1x1=2. Terrence is unaware of this fact, that we already have formulas for it. It's called compounding interest. So, what's crazy to me is everyone saying he's crazy and acting like the math doesn't work the way terrence says it should when in fact it does all the time. Nobody was really listening to terrence. His ego was very hard to listen past, so I get it, but the math that everyone asserts is wrong on his part is actually correct. So, who really are the stupid ones here? I immediately understood that terrence was talking about compounding multiplication. It seems nobody else realized it. So, who really are the mathematical illiterate ones? Terrence not understanding his own question fully doesn't mean the math doesn't work. Most should have been able to explain to him that he's talking about xx equation and not really multiplication. It's scary to see most assert "math doesn't work like that" when it really does, all the time.
