WTF Happened to RANDY QUAID?

want you to hit me as hard as you can randy quaid is many things he's an oscar-nominated Golden Globe winning thespian he's everybody's favorite wacky cousin an outlaw on the run the second most famous Quaid brother and a straight-up crazy person I'm but this video isn't just gonna say look Randy Quaid he's crazy hahaha look at him wow he's going crazy isn't that crazy no no no we're going to dive deep to truly understand what makes Randy tick why he believes what he believes and maybe find some truth in this madman's rants the real story it's about to happen at one time he was a budding star he had the opportunity to become a well respected actor a superstar who could do anything he wanted in any genre alongside some of Hollywood's most talented actors were then suddenly he's not working anymore he's gone where is he I don't know he's also a trump supporter and I hear that's a big no-no in Hollywood but there's much more to it than just that wait Quaid had a successful career in Hollywood for 40 years and then suddenly he ran away from it all and dedicated his life to exposing the dark side of that industry the darkest of dark I'm talking secret organization of assassins dark and we will go deep down that rabbit hole later while also examining his professional career but you can use a Cohen huh now you're talking [Laughter] sometimes he's a lovable goofball and sometimes he plays more dramatic sinister characters and he's great at both Quaid has worked with some of the greatest filmmakers and actors of all time he was the original Rain Man he was going to be Rain Man that's right before it was Tom and Dustin it was Dennis and Randy oh what could have been I don't know they could have been good or bad I don't I don't know I'm curious and the dude has achieved iconic cultural status thanks to the vacation franchise cousin Eddie is practically an official Christmas character by now his magical holiday influence now rivals that of Rudolph and frosty I'm serious this guy is a Christmas sweater there is no greater honor and I myself am honoured to have been granted the task of finding out what the [ __ ] happened to Randy Quaid WTF do Quaid or a certain fool syringe used to inject a certain tranquilizer into the minds of the American male human young Randy Quaid became interested in the art of acting while in high school during drama class the acting bug had bit him hard and he continued his stage studies on to college at the University of Houston h-town represent an out from Houston I just say that sometimes and while he was attending the University his teacher got him to audition for the last picture show he got the role and his debut film was a masterpiece not many people can say that the first thing you're ever in is a classic how many people can say that Randy Quaid he can say that the film won Oscars and has gone down in history as one of the greats it's got 100% on the rotten tomato website it's a beautiful film and Randy Quaid fits perfectly in the ensemble cast so I guess you can say the last picture show was Randy's first picture show joke that's true yeah I did it last Easter this was the beginning of a great professional relationship with director Peter Bogdanovich the two would continue to work together on such classics as what's up-dock and Paper Moon then came his oscar-nominated performance alongside Jack Nicholson in the last detail Randy's performance as a sailor awaiting punishment is extremely powerful and he was also nominated for a Golden Globe and a BAFTA it's hard to believe now but in the 70s Randy Quaid was well respected Oscar bait he was a major part of the artistic groundbreaking wave of the quote/unquote new Hollywood he was right in the middle of that cinematic Renaissance he then starred alongside Nicholson again in the Missouri Breaks with Marlon Brando this followed with the oscar-winning Midnight Express where Randy had a strong supporting role in this powerful drama it's a great film check it out watch it pop it in yo yo yo playa then in 1983 came vacation it's probably his most iconic role in for good reason Randy stole the show in this National Lampoon comedy creating a character that is the epitome of the drunk redneck cousin but he didn't just play on stereotypes no no he made cousin Eddie his own and brought a strange charm to this disgusting person only Randy could make Eddie lovable and he did a great job classic classic performance he'll go down in history he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 1986 for one season it was during SNL's infamous Robert Downey jr. days and I actually completely forgot that Randy was part of the cast until right now he was all right funny things happened it was okay I've seen better skits from SNL but I've also seen worse but yeah since I forgot I guess you could say it was it was forgettable because I literally forgot how silenced reimpose until next year one more thing in 1987 he was nominated for an Emmy and won the Golden Globe for his performance as Lyndon Baines Johnson President of the United States of America in a TV movie called LBJ the earth years.this Texas boy was perfectly cast as this Texas president they even look alike he was he was born to play LBJ both crazy people he played a lawyer in Caddyshack - there was out cold with John Lithgow he was the lead in the 1989 sci-fi comedy Martians go home but then he returned to his most beloved character in National Lampoon's Christmas vacation which is probably the greatest Christmas movie ever made that isn't die hard Randy really gets to shine as the world's worst cousin and gets more screen time in this holiday classic this film has become a tradition many people try to watch this every December and I am one of those people the jokes never get old they're still hilarious every time his [ __ ] gets full I laugh at the [ __ ] that is full of [ __ ] and Randy Quaid started out the 90s with a bang he was in a dark comedy called cold dog soup and quick change with Bill Murray Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise and for some reason they made a sequel to The Last Picture Show called Texas Ville and in 1992 he starred in the TV movie Frankenstein and he played the monster Randy brought humanity to the creature in 1994 brought the Ron Howard film the paper and a funny little uncredited role in major league - he also had a guest appearance on Ren and Stimpy for you people who like Nickelodeon then Randy really found his place in the world of comedy with the film kingpin he played an Amish bowler it is one of the finest comedic performances ever put on to film on celluloid and it's from the director of Green Book ish ish pull it over pull it over but 1996 anno domini was the greatest year ever for Randi not only did he have the hit comedy kingpin but he also had the mega blockbuster Independence Day Randy is great as the drunken crazy pilot who saves the world spoiler alert and I know many people say many things about Independence Day that aren't exactly positive it's it's not perfect cinema no but I still remember walking out of the theater as a little kid in complete amazement at its cinematic magic so I don't care say whatever you want ID for will always be a great film in my eyes and it made us see Randy for who he really is a hero the heart of gold I love this movie and I love Randy's performance oh and by the way thanks for saving the world Randy really nice of you just sacrifice yourself for for me and my fellow earthlings then it was time to bring back cousin Eddie again this time he joins the Griswolds on a Vegas vacation it's not the best of the franchise but it's still full of cousin Eddie shenanigans which are always hilarious like this one he was in a great underrated 90s action film called hard rain as a sheriff with an attitude it's an action heist film that takes place during the flood it's pure nineties action awesomeness and I don't know why they don't make movies like this I wish they did but they don't maybe they do they somewhere I'm sure he cooked around with cartoons in that Rocky and Bullwinkle movie and he goofed around with teens in that not another team movie movie he returned again to the character of cousin Eddie in the sequel to a sequel called Christmas vacation to cousin Eddie's Island Adventure yes this is a real film it almost ruins the legacy of cousin Eddie the wonderful wonderful legacy almost but he bounced right back with the successful TV movie Elvis which earned him a Golden Globe nomination and an Emmy nomination - for playing Elvis's manager 2005 brought the oscar-winning Brokeback Mountain hit a strong supporting role playing a homophobic homophobe suffering from homophobia it was directed by master filmmaker Angley and on set he formed a friendship with Heath Ledger it's a good addition to Randy's filmography sure found a way to make the 10 passive deer but Randy ended up suing the producers of Brokeback Mountain because he believed that they misrepresented the film to him during the pitch randy claims that he was tricked into working for a lower salary because he was told that the film was a low-budget arthouse indie flick with no prospects of making money but it actually made a lot of money he worked with Harold Ramos in the ice harvest and in 2006 he worked with filmmaker Milos Forman in Goya's ghost where Randy played the king of Spain it's good to be king 2008 brought the film real time it was an indie comedy which opened the Slamdance Film Festival slammed not son and earned him a Vancouver Film Critics Circle Award sounds pretty prestigious to me even a daughter died 2009 brought the film balls-out Gary the tennis coach it was a direct-to-video movie starring Sean William Scott hey what the cabin to him that's another video Randy is the kind of actor who can balance a career of doing trash and class at the same time that makes him special but then came the legal problems first Randy and his wife were arrested for skipping out on hotel bills worth tens of thousands of dollars Randy allegedly assaulted one of the police officers during the arrest they had warrants out for burglary fraud and conspiracy he was arrested a year later for squatting in a house that he used owned and during the arrest his wife went crazy and started yelling shoot me I don't know here's some of the audio police said they broke into the home and completely trashed it but Randy claims that the property was still his and he was a victim of document forgery so once again I don't know believe the Quaid's were very passionate about how they believed their constitutional rights were being trampled upon because they are Americans in America so they fled to Canada as refugees seeking protection seeking protection from what you ask Starr whackers what our star whackers you ask people who waxed ours what do you mean by whack you ask whack as in killing we believe there are to be a malignant tumor of star whackers in Hollywood how many people do you know personally who have died suddenly and mysteriously in the past five years 2010 Randi gave a press conference to CNN the most trusted name in news where he announced to the world his theory about star whackers it's a conspiracy about a group of people who conspire to kill and discredit famous people and yeah sounds pretty crazy right it sounds like it could be a some wild publicity stunt from Randi at least that's what I thought at first but then I watched his interviews closely and he seems legitimately afraid and sad he chokes up when he mentions his deceased Hollywood friends and yeah I know he's an actor but dang he's not that good maybe he is I mean maybe he used his amazing acting powers to make the pain look real but but I I honestly believe that Randi believes what he believes he claims that people like Heath Ledger Crispin David Carradine Brittany Murphy and her husband were murdered and that people like Lindsay Lohan Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are being played to get their money by some super elite super secret underground group of powerful people star whackers don't always just kill people they they can ruin you in the eyes of the public eighth legend crisp and david carradine among them I believe these actors were whacked and he doesn't say that they're necessarily gonna like you know shoot him in the face or anything but they're gonna get him out there on the streets unable to provide for himself and starve to death that's what he thinks that's what he says they compared this Hollywood hit squad to the Mafia it's full of corrupt businessmen it's probably the Illuminati or lizard people or something so he ran away from the United States to escape these star whackers and he made a refugee claim in Canada to escape to safety because nothing bad ever happens in Canada and Randy and his wife felt like they were in serious danger but were they really you decide okay Saudi so why have you said them that you feel that the same people who you believed killed David Carradine and Heath Ledger these star whackers are out to kill you as well well they are star walkers maybe this whole thing is an extremely elaborate Andy Kaufman desk walking phoenix-like social experiment artistic expression thing I don't know it sounds like something cousin Andy would do the press called him paranoid and delusional and his lawyers would not comment on that but you can comment on it is Randy Quaid a paranoid delusional crazy man comment your comment in the comments [Music] Wade and his wife say that these assassins have hacked into their computers and their phones and are constantly tracking good old Randy he has no freedom and of course yes many question the whole thing claiming that it's just a media circus for Randy to clown around him and others say that these incidences are examples of mental illness which is not funny I checked on a list of things that aren't funny and that was one of them and others claim that the Quaid's aren't actually fleeing the star whackers they're just running away from their own legal problems which they have a lot like I said before you decide cuz your truth is all that matters it is very possible that Heath Ledger could have been could have been murdered or David Carradine so they stayed in Canada for five years as Hollywood fugitives it's strange to think of Randy Quaid as being an outlaw fugitive flight risk life is truly stranger than fiction and Randy Quaid is a living example of that I think of all of his movies all of his weird movies none of them even compare to this weirdness and Randy didn't make the most sane grooming choices either he grew an out-of-control wild man beard and I'm just saying if you're trying to convince people that you're not crazy then maybe you shouldn't look crazy I mean come on Randy you look like an elderly Howard Hughes who got stranded on an island it's not helping your case but I will not judge a book by its horrable beard then Randy discovered YouTube and started making videos lots of videos crazy videos of him doing crazy things one of his most infamous videos was when he dressed up his wife as Rupert Murdoch started humping her yeah his videos also contained long political rants about anything and everything and most of his videos consist of just him reading Trump tweets in a demonic voice while this MKULTRA light flashes on his freaky Wizard of Oz face I'm trying my best to explain these videos but I think I should just let Randy show you Russia Russia Russia to the leaders of Iran Trump derangement syndrome [Music] they never even saw the transcription because CNN MSNBC and he sings songs about his situation with the star whackers - and his band Randy and the fugitives rock and roll Randy and of course all this craziness and legal trouble have kept him from working for about a decade and in 2015 he was not asked to be in the vacation reboot they did not want cousin Eddie in a vacation movie what is that it's that's blasphemy he can't do a vacation movie without cousin Eddie I mean you can but you shouldn't but he did make an appearance in a weight loss documentary called weight and he was hired as the announcer for tosh point-o but I feel like tosh point-o kind of ironically hired him as like a joke like I'm working with Randy Quaid isn't that crazy I don't know so Randy has had one of the most infamous Hollywood declines ever an oscar-nominated movie star can easily turn into a raving lunatic who only gets like 300 views on most of his videos nobody's watching these you guys should subscribe to Randy Quaid get help him out watch some of his watch some of his videos you watch him on mute if you don't want to hear it but you know I mean this is cousin Eddie you guys this is cousin Eddie and I'm sure half of those views are just me watching them on loop while researching this but he hasn't slowed down he's still doing it and he's constantly tweeting and stuff like that social media in he talks about current events fake news Bernie Sanders Donald Trump all that stuff and by the grace of God may you never again darken the hallways of our sacred institutions but like I said Randy is an example of how things can change how life can turn upside down one minute Randy Quaid is the voice of a major credit card company and the next he can't get a credit card Wow so is he a hero who's found the truth or is he a wacko who's lost his marbles or maybe he's a wacko who has found the truth anything's possible in Hollyweird right guys but I don't think we should judge Randy too harshly he's been through a lot and I'm not just gonna stand here and say that you or me or anyone else on this earth is more or less crazy than Randy I mean I don't know who am I to say who are you to say maybe you're the cray-cray one but maybe I am maybe this whole world is crazy and Randy's the only one preaching the truth we just laugh at him cuz we stirred we can't handle the truth everyone who has changed the world or who has exposed a deep dark conspiracy was at one time considered crazy so I don't know I might kind of see what Randy's saying I think I know where he's getting it he gets it he gets it no Americans really want an incompetent idiot for president I am Randy Quaid star of Independence Day and Rupert Murdoch approves this message and you know throughout history it's always been the goofy court jester who's only been allowed to speak the truth and maybe that's what Randy is to our society and I and I don't think I've been brainwashed even though I know that's exactly what a brainwashed person would say but I I'm totally not is this the way America goes is this really a huge wake up you sleeping giant and after listening to hours and hours of randy rants over and over on loop to make this video for joe blow calm like and subscribe please I find myself thinking what if he's right WTF we are not criminals nor are we fugitives from justice nor are we crazy we are simply artists and filmmakers for being racketeer Don but let's put all that conspiracy stuff aside for now and just appreciate the great films that Randy has given us all the laughs as we loled all over the place because of him for decades and even though there's another Quaid movie star out there you you my friend you are truly one of a kind and I think the world is a little bit more interesting because you're in it so thank you Randy thank you for saving the world thank you for making Christmas a little funnier thank you for warning us about those star backers if they do exist and if those star whackers try anything on you trust me bro I got you back and that is what the [ __ ] happened to Randy Quaid [Applause] [Music] [Music] Oh [Music] [Music] you
