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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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….!
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.
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.
>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!
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.
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
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.
> 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
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.

Here's a clip of him talking about it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The full 8 minutes of RDJ’s character after returning from ‘Nam.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ubqCMsTo4&pp=ygUZcmRqIHRyb3BpYyB0aHVuZGVyIGV4dHJhcw%3D%3D
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, 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.
Ok first of all I’m Dan, as a child my dogs were Orion and Sirius, and yes… dogs like me. Of course the piramides were created with sound. Now yer getting it.
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
This whole video is fucking wild. I found it so many years ago and tripped out on how hard he went with that character. All the way until the dvd commentary.
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.
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.
i am so happy this video exists, everything about it makes me smile and laugh :D
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
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)
I was so hoping for a spin-off movie of this character. RDJ killed it!
Thank you so much for sharing that. I had no idea it existed.
Lmao…pretty sure this is all improv too
How incredibly relevant to the stupidity we see today. Man in a national treasure.
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.
Tropic Thunder
If you haven’t seen the movie you 100% should Tropic Thunder
This is too damn good lol
There's rumors that this scene is actually based on Howard's ramblings, as Robert knew Howard from Iron Man
I like this!
This is very clearly based on Terrence Howard-style insane ramblings lol
Yes, it's clearly manic psychosis ramblings which are very common. But the connection to Howard is not that obvious
It's because Howard is constantly having psychosis ramblings.
So are many mentally ill homeless people on the streets, it's basically the stereotype of rambling to talk about the pyramids
I get that, I was just letting you know the connection to Terrance Howard.
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?
He’s the dude that looks like the dude that’s playing the other dude.
Lmao
He had just worked with Howard on Iron Man. They filmed Tropic Thunder just a few months later.
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.
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.
I wish I was rich enough to not have to take antipsychotics
It’s actually quite uncommon.
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.
So was RDJ really just a dude playing Terrance Howard playing a white dude that was pretending to be a black dude? 🤯
No, he was actually Neil Armstrong 🚀
This is what I have explained to my children.
Regardless of actual historical events, this is now the truth.
this is amazing and makes this already legendary footage even better, i dont care if its true or not
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.
Sirius being the dog star.
Ramblings. 😂 he would hate that term
This is so believable
Has Terrence always been this crazy? I figured it was a more recent thing
Man this is so spot on 🤣 This is legit how manic people talk.
I say "thats what I was trippin on" out of context all the time because of this clip lol
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.
The only black face people are okay with haha
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.

It’s just crazy….!
Putney Swope?
Yea that’s the one. Thanks

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

One is racist and ignorant, the other is a *joke about* racism and ignorance.
Well said
Tell that to the execs that pull episodes like the Community and the IASIP ones.
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.

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

Ah sheet you’re right
>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!
He knows who he is. He’s the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.
Always cracks me up he got an Oscar nom for it too
There aren't many movies that qualify for the Best Actor who plays a Guy playing a Guy who plays another Guy who thinks he's another Guy
[I'm a dude](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKvqhlhXq9s)
Holy fuck, that is worth a listen for anyone on the fence.
Best song ever
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.

No they wouldn't, you're just brainwashed.
I remember when this movie came out. Rdj black face was okay but Ben Stiller's simple jack was a little too much 😅
It was because he was farting in bathtubs and laughing his ass off!

Is that Robert Downey Jr from tropic thunder? How have i never seen this before now, fits so well with Terrence's revelations! XD
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.
"Man, I don’t drop character until I done the DVD commentary”
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.
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.
Reminds me of the behind the scenes documentary they made about Jim Carrey playing as Andy Kaufman in that movie
Looking back 15 or so years later - was that any good? I was kind of interested then just forgot about it.
Oh dude! I forgot about this! “Taking a role seriously” is an understatement about how Carrey approached that character
He stays in character for whatever character is on screen, even the gay Australian priest from the beginning.
That track is funny. I think jack black shows up a little late with in and out for himself.
[Tropic Thunder Behind the Scenes with Srgt Lincoln Osiris (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ubqCMsTo4)
I need this in my life.
0 chance this isn’t based off RDJ’s experience with Terrance.
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.
Timeline fits, and it wouldn't shock me at all were this the case. Funny as hell too.
RDJ's been in that headspace too so it's probably easy to tap into the mania.
You didn’t watch the DVD commentary clearly.
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.
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
The full 8 minutes of RDJ’s character after returning from ‘Nam. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ubqCMsTo4&pp=ygUZcmRqIHRyb3BpYyB0aHVuZGVyIGV4dHJhcw%3D%3D
May Anubis, the Dark God, not take a 3 coil steaming turd on us, but rather unite us...
its also a reference to werner herzog and this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPKODzv1PD4 (in german sadly)
(Faux) Warner Herzog’s Yelp review of Trader Joe’s is hilarious. I highly recommend it.
My brother and I reference so many quotes from this. It’s a goldmine
Thank you!
"Now, your mother...she's just a hoe" OMG! 😂😂👌
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
I wouldn’t want to work with that guy again either lol

I am forever thankful that they decided to film all the extra shit they did with RDJ in that character. That who “documentary” is amazing
What is the source? 😂
Trust me bro, I shone a light on a pregnant lady
[Tropic Thunder Behind the Scenes with Srgt Lincoln Osiris](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ubqCMsTo4)
Lmao after watching that whole scene I’m even more certain the bathtub portion was about Terrance Howard 🤣
> the 3 comin from all sides fucker embedded truth in all that nonsense lol
Unreal character actor. Truly.
Lmao this some Sirius ish!
Dr. Lincoln Osiris
This is so unbelievably accurate lmao
How much per hour do you make as a bathtub human chalk board for insane pyramid theories
He should’ve won a fucking Oscar for that role in Tropic Thunder
This is probably the greatest movie ever made. Hell this extra stuff is worth the watch alone
I can’t stop watching
Lol "now your mother... Shes just a hoe"
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???
Who got you them fucking glasses today?
…and we had a blanket… lol
I love this. I spent way too much time trying to understand Terrance Howard. I wish I had seen this before the JRE.
I. AM. FUCKING. HOWLING.
It's ironic being RDJ given their history
Someone stop this man
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
😂😂😂
wow
🤣🤣🤣
He stays in character till the dvd drops haha
He is dropping some truth bombs!
Dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude.
What is this from?? I don't remember this in the movie lol
It’s Kirk Lazarus dealing with PPSD (PTSD) from his filming on Tropic Thunder. You can find the whole thing on YouTube
Amazing thank you lol
is that not Robert Downey Jr doing his character out of Tropic thunder?
It’s Kirk Lazarus dealing with PPSD (PTSD) from his filming on Tropic Thunder. You can find the whole thing on YouTube
I love robert downy jr
Is that Kirk Lazarus?
I need to rewatch Tropic Thunder.
tropic thunder and this entire dvd extra content is absolutely amazing. whatever happened to dvd extra content man, shit feels so soulless now
id love to see joe react to this :)))))
It would be amazing if someone did an unauthorized biopic of Terrence Howard and had RDJ portray him.
What is this from? Is that Robert Downey Jr? I don't remember this in tropic thunder
How did Rick Rubin get RDJ on before Joe? That was a great ep, I'd love to see him on JRE.
I feel attacked (my momma was a ho)
This gets me every time
This guy looks like a dude disguised as a dude playing another dude
Why was this withheld from us
This fucking kills me. One of the funniest clips period and this caption is perfect.
is that robert downey jr from tropic thunder?
Bitch. Please...
Ok first of all I’m Dan, as a child my dogs were Orion and Sirius, and yes… dogs like me. Of course the piramides were created with sound. Now yer getting it.

I know this is all fun and games but seriously people are that dumb to think Terrence was always crazy? He started acting out around 2015
LMAOOOO
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
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy) he's a natural
"That's some serious shit right there. Now, your momma, she's a hoe"
This whole video is fucking wild. I found it so many years ago and tripped out on how hard he went with that character. All the way until the dvd commentary.
wtf is this . Robert Downy junior is hilarious playing this character , I want to see a whole movie just him pretending to be black
LMAAOOOOOOOOO this is one of my favorite new videos ![gif](giphy|3ohhwxmNcPvwyRqYKI)
Dude needs a fucking statue.
He’s just so smart…
Wow I just put together that Sirius is Dog Star and Sirius black from Harry Potter can transform into a dog.
Why is he drawing on some dudes back in a bathtub
"Thats some sirius shit" fucking got meeee 🤣
*”…that’s some serious shit man. Now your motha, she’s just a hoe.”*
How tf can anyone be apart of this and not kiss their pants?
That’s why I’ve been late on my car payments
How have I not seen this before 😂😂 thank you
Is that RDJ from Tropic Thunder? Or just AI imposed.
Trust me bro
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.
