In O'Neal's defense, "Oh man!" is about as ridiculous a line of dialog as anyone could write for that moment. He was great in Paper Moon.

There is an interview on the DVD with Norman Mailer where he talks about that scene...to sum up; everyone told him to cut it out, he didn't because he felt it needed to be over the top, he later regretted not cutting it and Ryan O'Neal never forgave him for leaving that scene in.

I love the fly on that kid's forehead as he yells, "Oh my gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!" Awesome.
However, the first clip is actually worse.

I think Ryan had some pretty decent roles in the 70's:
The Thief Who Came to Dinner
The Driver
What's up Doc?
Barry Lyndon
Paper Moon
If any actor has at least 5 decent roles, they're not all hack in my book.

O'Neal seems to be acting just fine in that clip. It's the script, direction and editing that blow. Now the Troll kid, on the other hand, isn't even acting.
