Its wild to see George McFly , Fonzie , and Jefferson Darcy in the same scene.
Crispin was looking like James Dean with that hair and attitude.
I hadn't hit "full screen" until I read your comment. holy shit YES. (and I only watched past first 5 seconds to look for your point - ended up watching the whole thing - and this was far funnier than I thought it would be. so thanks for that.)
You've noticed that too eh? LOL
He does look like James Dean.
His performance in River's Edge is the reason I've watched that movie 509 times. It is a true comfort film.
I was lucky enough to have been able to see it in the theater. Eventually wore out my VHS copy years later.
Rivers Edge is screening in Chicago 9/29/23 35mm print
what i do for my fucking friends !!!
@@vinmanr2d2 you didn't have to call me a stupid bitch! I have a name you know.
That was a great film. We had to watch it in psychology class back in high school and write a report about it.
Crispin has so much charisma. Even in a small part like this, he owns it.
He is a very good actor, it's hard to believe he's 19 in this clip...
Crispin is BRILLIANT! I'm truly blown away by his talent - facial expressions, comical physicality, timing, gambit of emotions seen through his eyes (I saw everything from fear, comedy, sadness, happiness, intimidating glare, confidence, insecurity - I found myself reacting emotionally to all of them!). It's bewildering why he wasn't offered more roles after this OR Back to the Future! He's so highly skilled at both comical & dramatic acting!!! ... and THAT accomplished at 19! WOW!
While a great actor he was a bit too much for Directors.
Funny how Happy Days was portraying folks in the 50's and early 60's had 70's and 80's hairstyles.
Yeah, Ron Howard said he kept his hair short out of respect for the setting, but by a few seasons in, most everyone else in the cast was growing theirs out, and it was simply tolerated as a matter of course. Looking back at the first season, they really were trying much harder initially.
Lol😂
Yeah, it lost its steam by the late 70's.
@Harry Engel I thought the show jumped the shark...Haha...after a few seasons. I haven't watched it in decades. I was a kid when it first came out and loved everything 50/early 60's. The music, muscle cars and baseball cards from then. American Graffiti started it all for me. The times seemed so innocent.
@Harry Engel That 70's Show was a knockoff of Happy Days. So, it never appealed to me..
Glover is a master. Had he not been so eccentric in real life he would have been a mainstream star....
Yep I don't think enough people realize how good he is, however he can be a bit of a Douchbag in real life, we all can though
Why would you say he's a douchebag in real life? I've had the privilege of meeting him twice, and on both occasions he has been the most gracious "celebrity" I've ever encountered. After screening one of his new films at our small theater, he stayed until 3AM until he made sure he had spoken personally with each fan that wanted to meet him.
Glover doesn’t care about becoming a mainstream star. He cares about the messages his performances/films deliver. What’s amazing is much of his hang ups and stuff from his past that have him labeled as eccentric are turning out to be accepted as obvious by the mainstream now. For example the concept that corporations are pulling strings behind the scenes while feeding us endless streams of propaganda to keep us complicit and compliant with their agenda to rule our lives and thoughts.
@SIMPLE SPIN, I think after you challenge guys like Robert Zemekis and Steven Spielberg early in your career, you're pretty much taking yourself out of contention for mainstream status, which is exactly what happened with Glover.
Glover probably never cared how famous he was or wasn't. I've had fame and been mentioned on the front pages of the NY Times and Wall Street Journal but no one would really care today.
I had forgotten that scene. Glover was amazing even then! 'You don't seem to be the idiot you pretend to be'. "I'll try harder".
CG is the salt, pepper and garlic of anything he is cast in. I cook for my friends and family a lot and when they ask, "wow, what did you put in this?", I just say, " Crispin Glover". They say well that's just weird and I say yes it is.
JAJAJAJAJAJA MUERO DE RISA! XD
You wanna get kicked out of school McFly? Hello, hello? Anybody home? Think McFly! Think!
You slacker!
What are you looking at butthead
This is good stuff I'm writing this stuff down. My density has bought me to you
I'm George! George Mcfly! I'm your dencety! I mean your destiny!
With that face i'm surprised that he wasn't considered an 80's heartthrob
He is an attractive man
I agree! Our dude’s hot!! 😍
His subdued intensity (scene stealer) was prob a turn off to many casting agents; they couldn't "peg" him. Personally, I like him a lot - he has an energy that makes whatever he's in very memorable.
He didnt have the boy next door charm of Michael J Fox or Tom Cruise or mysterious, bad boy image of a young Johnny Depp or Kevin Bacon. Crispin was sort of off-kilter and bizarre.
@@RichV20Kevin bacon lol
You are my density
I mean, my destiny
Density has popped me to you!
I'll have a milk. Chocolate!
I never realized Crispin was on Happy Days.. I must have missed that episode. Wow, he did great :)
@Sandra Bervoets me too! And I agree!😉🤔📺👍
Later season, I'm thinking when Fonzie and Roger got jobs at the local vo-tech high school for troubled teenagers. Fonzie was the auto shop teacher, Roger was principal.
@@jennifer_m.8613 Fonzie was the Dean of Boys and Roger was the Principal at the George S. Patton Vocational High School. Fonzie wanted to be Principal but they turned him down because he was a High School dropout, which makes no sense to me because he did go to night school to get his diploma. Those later episodes had a darker edge to them and tackled more serious issues. Joanie became a teacher and one of her students tried to rape her and another student almost died from a drug overdose. And it was during this season that we actually saw Fonzie punch somebody onscreen.
Crispin was too cute!
He's always been good looking. You probably just remember him from BTTF the most where they made him out to be real dorky.
Crispin Glover is like no other
Crispin Glover has always been a superb actor -- one of the best! Watch him in "River's Edge" (1986), or in any of his work for director David Lynch.
Superb AND adorable.
Wow! I had no idea that Crispin Glover and Ted McGinley were on Happy Days!!!
You mean George McFly and Jefferson D'Arcy.
And this was AFTER Fonzie jumped the shark!
That Moment when the lead alpha beta guy from revenge of the nerds met Marty's Dad
Ted McGinley, yes. Crispin Glover... well until now I would've had to find out on IMDb. FYI back then (in fact up until the late-1980's), if an employer doesn't know you're a high school dropout, you can have the same opportunities in life as any other high school graduate.
Ted McGinley... the cursed son of TV, whose casting draws the deep ire of the Old Gods, who then facilitate the end of the show daring enough hire him.
I love Crispin Glover. He's the best.
Wow!!! Love Crispin!!!!!
Wow, Glover is gorgeous here. Look at that hair. I've never ever thought of him as handsome. Also, he always comes across as weird-scary-dangerous, and here, he comes across as normal.
Crispin Glover... the only dude to ever to slug The Fonz and live to tell about it.
Matt. McDermott. Crispin. Glover. I. Like him Best. Man. I like him. On. Happy. Days
Wow. Kudos to Crispin and his character. Anyway, I LOVE him in EVERYthing I‘ve seen him in besides Happy Days
Crispin's dad was Mr. Wint in the 007 flick Diamonds Are Forever.... when you watch it you can totally see the family resemblance, right down to how they deliver their lines...
What a happy little coincidence... the Patron Saint of Jumping the Shark teams up with the guy who literally jumped the shark to make sure young George McFly would have a brighter future! It's just so... beautiful...
he kicks down the stack of books with a vengeance. got dang lol
I never knew Crispin Glover was on the Happy Days show! That's so cool!
I've only seen Glover play as George Mcfly in Back to the Future, so it's weird seeing him with a lot of hair and acting like a slacker XD
+Minho Minhendore You evidently, haven't seen one of the coolest cult films since REPO MAN, CG & Howard Hesseman in RUBIN & ED, where Glover has long hair, big-ass platform shoes & these bellbottom LOUD vertically striped pants!! (Funny as hell! -and available here, on You Tube, to see for free!!!)
Nope, guess I'm not as cool as I thought XD. I will try to watch it though, you make it sound amazing :)
Minho Minhendore Wonderful, wonderful film! Definitely "Cult-film" status.
he was in alice in wonderland, the guy with the eyepatch
Masamune Noir You have to see Rubin & Ed - it came out in 1992. It stars Crispin & Howard Hesseman. Hesseman plays this middle-aged man who's kind of a loser: his wife (played by Karen Black) had left him, he's just started this new venture: a real estate seminar which sets him on a path to try and get his life going, etc. Glover is this goofy slacker type who lives in this motel his mom owns: his "room" is one of the motel rooms. His favorite thing to do is to play Mahler for his cat, which, BTW, has died by the time we "meet" "Rubin" (Glover's character)...anyway, the 2 end up together by these one or 2 odd circumstances and then, for a lot of the movie, they're stranded in the Mojave desert somewhere, out of gas, I think, and a bunch of crazy shit happens. Not gonna describe the whole thing here - just remember this: GREAT film. Total "Cult-movie": one you'd wanna see over & over again. Funny as hell too.
he's cute in that scene.
He's thinking,first Biff Tannen and Mr.Strickland,now this guy!
Dang Glover played that well. Can't imagine anyone else doing it like that.
thats his power
You have a small imagination then
Even this early in his career, Crispin all ready shows many of his actor mannerism. Thanks for this clip, it's awesome!
he's handsome
he's now 55.
@@op3129 if he's 55 now he would have been about 15 in this clip
He has really pretty eyes, if u go and look back at him as George mcfly u can really see it. In "back to the Future" my heart just broke for him.
@@stephenmurphy1003 19
@@op3129 still handsome
Hilarious that by '83 the creators of the show gave us on making this look like the early 60s. Look at Ted's hairstyle! LoL
Loved his acting in here!!❤❤❤
My God, this is incredible, I never knew Crispin Glover was on Happy Days! He's totally rocking one of my own mid-80's looks there as well, with the anti-gravity hair and the grey overcoat!
crispin is one of my fave actors ever
Crispin is strong.. and he can kick!
Had to check before I made the same comment.
aww hes soo young and cute there!
wow, even back then crispin glover was a completely destabilising force, inhabiting the scene like a tremendous black hole. fantastic.
I like when Crispin says it must be nice to be bi-lingual.
"There will be no hot lunches until my wallet is returned"...considering what I remember about how awful my school lunches were, that's not exactly a bad thing.:) Crispin is really a very decent actor, and here, even this early, his performance is much stronger than most one-time Happy Days visitors.
I was glad MeTV was playing reruns of Happy Days last summer. I bumped into this episode and got all excited.
It must be nice to be bi-lingual. Classic.
Crispin: Yeah? I like that, tell him thanks. Then the look on Fonzi's face.
Glover is great in all his roles. I believe it was Friday 13th part 4 where he does a super crazy dance, lol its my fave jason for that reason. 😄
Ted McGinley is a hunk 😍😍😍😍
I never could stand him.
It looks like Ted says "You're gonna pay for this you little sh*t!" And they had to dub over it Lol
They definitely dubbed that bit, whatever he said.
Crispin, he looks so young . . . i love him
Love him he is so interesting
It comes through in Glover's performance....what a disturbed young man he was in real life.
They sure liked their blow-dryers and bell-bottoms in the ... 1950s.
By this time, it was actually mid 1960's, but Roger really couldn't look more mid 1980's. Jumping the shark was far in the rearview mirror...
Their shark jumped the shark. Later, even jumping the shark jumped the shark.
Don't forget feathered hair lol.
@fuzz rug yeah I was 10 in 1976 and every girl went to the salon and wanted the Farrah. .lol
@@tracieday1914 yeah they had a lot of things wrong with this show hairstyles that were not around at that time and songs and other things
I like @2:15 when Fonze and Crispin put there foreheads together :))
george mcfly, what a dreamboat!
Love It!! Crispin is a genius...thanks for the post!
That was great. Now I'll have to go watch "River's Edge' again.
HE'S JUST SO AWESOME!!!
A man of the people
George McFly went "Back to the Future" a year before his son Marty did. -:)
This is awesome, love Glover.
I wouldn't expect Crispin Glover to be able to pull off a troubled youth with an attitude (because he's so eccentric and has a very unique and measured rythym with his way of talking), but he's so great in this tiny little snippet of a role! it's absolutely hilarious! I know it's been a few decades, but if you're reading this Mr. Glover, great job! love it!
Man, Happy Days seemed like a totally different show in the later seasons than it did earlier on.
Great stuff.
Happy days have some of the best actors on that show.
Awesome! definitely Awesome! one slick dude learnin from another!
Love crispin
Crispin Glover didn't look out of place in this 1950's scenario.
Was waiting for Stan Gable to point at Crispin and yell "NERRRRRD!!"
He was so attractive when he was young.
I remember seeing this episode (I watched Happy Days to its bitter conclusion) but never realized that Glover was Roach! Back To The Future was still at least a year away from release so he wasn't too well known yet. I also didn't realize how funny this scene was! Glover really nailed it!
YES, he DID!
this is great
jefferson d'Arcy and McFly ?
One of the best scenes of the later seasons.
I'm here because of American Gods. He's creepy in that show. Very handsome
Fantastic actor.
Oh my he's gorgeous.
Crispin Glover pretty much had this same look in Friday the 13th part 4 (1984) as Jimmy.
Revenge of the nerds happy days back to the future cant get any better than that...
Revenge of the Nerds irony here.
i think Crispin Glover is cute... He should be comedian.
He is, kzhead.info/sun/hLqtebeqkKeCY4E/bejne.html
That was interesting, Crispin Glover got all of the funniest lines.
thank you jazzy.
I'm surprised how much clips from this show make me laugh.
Ha, he called him '' Roach '' makes you wonder if he had seen his undies !!!
Wait...what? WTF?
@Amber Fashing HaHa! Cousin Dell in “Wild at Heart” a small, but memorable role for Crispin.
He's making lunch!
He’s also on Friday the 13th part 4!
Crispin looks alot like across between Robin Williams and early 80's Bono.
CRISPIN GLOVER and THE FONZ! good good. crispin glover is gangly and adorable.
I hope Happy Days gets to season 11 on DVD. That'd be AWESOME!
It wasn't that Roger couldn't do his job, Roger didn't know how to talk to him and Fonzi did.
I hated Roger. He killed Happy Days.
Fonzie was perfect for reform school kids he understood them and could communicate on their level
@@gaysponge1207 Roger was supposed to be the new Richie heard in an interview from Ted
@Ali Ostrowski Right. Fonzi was one of those kids and he knew how to reach them.
I like how Fonzie became a teacher to try to help mentor potential drop outs.
In a later episode Roger convinces Fonzie to go to a teachers convention after they crash their small plane Fonzie confides in him that he's not as smart as teachers and that he didn't belong Roger tells him that you don't need a fancy degree to understand kids and that he does belong and goes on to explain why fonzie actually is a teacher
Love the Fonz, Henry Winkler was theeee only human being who could play that role properly. Dam, i love the way Henry walks and talks, the looks he gives when someone says something stupid. There r no Fonzies in this world, only one. When i was a kid my Dad bought me a pair of socks that had him on the socks,they went all the wsay up to my knees. I never saw any other kids wearing them. It was a real photograph type of pic . Fonzie had a thumbs up stance. They were the coolest socks i ever owned. Crispin is an outstandingly funny guy.
LOL, Crispin's on happy days. He came to my city to promote his slideshow and i just laughed, it was so funny.
Fonzie is so awesome! :D
I’m your density I mean your destiny!!
in latino america only that show was available for 2 seasons im surprised that only here I can see more and more seasons A LITTLE LATE BUT THANKS!!!!!!!!
Ken Osmond RIP was in this episode as an arrogant high school teacher similar as Eddie Haskell in LEAVE IT TO BEAVER
Opposite end of the coolness spectrum from George Mcfly
George Mcfly and Jefferson D'arcy...never thought I'd see them on screen together.
I love Krispin
This was a deleted scene from "Back To The Future" where George Mcfly found the Delorean that his future son brought to the 50's, and he traveled to the 70's. It was edited out for time... plus it added nothing to the plot. 😏
