Awkward. Hilariously awkward. When I started making this I was surprised how many reactors did not include one second of this scene in their reaction. It is mucho fun watching people laugh at something they shouldn't be laughing at.
These reactors went full reaction:

You have your well-deserved Oscar now, Mr. Downey, Jr.
He went full Oppenheimer though!
@@gregfeasel5874Everybody knows you never go full atomic.
And you know what he didn't do?
I’m glad he got it for playing Strauss rather than Lazarus.
In blackface no less.
It’s very strange watching people get so uncomfortable at a word has been thrown around very casually, and frequently for the majority of my life
Those people are just acting retarded
Yeah, it's an interesting phenomenon.
pre-PC and post-PC
I miss the old days
@@rafaelpozo9962 I don't. Sure, some people overcorrect when it comes to this stuff, but it comes from a good place; namely realising that these terms we threw around thoughtlessly as kids actually apply to real people, who might not enjoy hearing it.
These things always follow the same pattern: First some people recognise the problematic nature of something and go a bit overboard correcting it, then assholes and old people overreact to the overcorrection, and after a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth we arrive at a middleground that is more inclusive and compassionate than the starting point, but without the most ridiculous PC ideas that the group in question doesn't actually want(for example the whole latinx idea).
Honestly, Robert Downey Jr should've gotten an Oscar for this scene.🤣
Well he was up against Heath Ledger as Joker that year so tough competition.
@@Goldeneyes-qs9vjTrue. One went white faced. The other went black faced.
he was nominated for the movie.
He went full rtard in this movie... The academy aint about that sht
@@bullpasha
You right.
The Academy is only about political correct Movies that are about gay black people facing the hardships of racism whilst being superior than them white folks they're oppressed by. If this Movie also is "based on a true story" you basically hit the Oscar Jackpot.
Movies about (lesbian) women who face the oppression of Men, which are based on a True story are a close second tho. If the woman in question is also black and has to face racism on top of that, it overtakes the first option.
And if you think i make that shit up, look at the Best Picture Winners and nominations of the last lets say 8 years.
This whole film is trolling Hollywood. The blackface, the jokes about actors playing people with disabilities, actors taking themselves too seriously.
Yeah tbh I consider Tropic Thunder to be this generation's version of Blazing Saddles. They didn't actually hold those beliefs- they were making fun of the people who actually do hold those beliefs.
And the fact that Ben still wrote that movie just sits well with me in so many ways
good point cool. The same bag of dicks who exploit kids, and partake in every vice known to man. The entertainment industry deserves its scorn.
It's actually supposed to be making fun of Apocalypse Now. The making of the film they did is also supposed to mock the making of Apocalypse now's.
@@mikemccord6276 its multi layered. Its a parody of the typical Vietnam oscar winning drama, and of holywood, the movie industry and actors in general
The black actor nailed the character so perfectly!
He’s not black. He’s Australian.
And he's white in real life
no he isn't, thats Danny Glover retard
@@hughjefner510 he's a dude playin a dude disguised as another dude.
Robert Downey Jr went "full into" this role. Irony that he's telling Ben that nobody goes "full in".
I'm willing to bet that most of these reactors aren't actually uncomfortable with the scene, but instead they are uncomfortable about what other people will think of their reaction to the scene.
You nailed it.
👏👏👏
You'd be wrong. When they were making this film they knew the absolute gold they were making and everybody except over sensitive actors and studio execs would be pissing their pants laughing at the satire
So they're dudes playing a dude who is offended by the actor dudes?
What you pointed out is the definition of Woke. You don't really mind, you just worry that other people will mind that you don't mind.
It is to this day one of the funniest and truest lines in all movie history. Never Go Full Retard is words to live by
are words to live by
@@timh8324 Yer already larnin', son
In particular when spoken by a guy sort of blackfacing :)
@@elwray3506don't be retarded
Unfortunately, these days most people seem to be trying to go full retard.
This is the perfect example of why comedy isn't funny anymore. Everyone's afraid of triggering someone. I love this movie 😂
Agreed, I'm glad I grew up in the 80s and 90s.
True. Mostly they are getting offended on behalf of someone else that isn’t even offended for themselves… modern logic I guess.
Most people don't realize that it's an actual medical term.
Exactly
Yes and no. If you need to drag someone down to be funny, is it?.
I love that everyone laughed at it because its funny, and yet everyone was uncomfortable doing it. Comedy will always have a "dark side", and im here for it.
THANK GOD FOR THIS COMMENT!
To paraphrase George Carlin, “Comedy doesn’t work unless someone gets hurt!”
Dark side because they’re saying “retard”? Bloody hell society is so sick nowadays
If you think talking about retards is dark comedy, you have some learning to do.
@@DeReAntiqua Ha while I agree my fellow Americans are super soft, several of these reactors are not American so the cringing spans at least Canada, US, UK, Australia, etc...
It tells you something about how well this movie works that they are busy worrying about the politically correct way to refer to developmentally disabled people, but have gotten completely used to RDJ in blackface by this point.
The movie does a really good job by throwing their hypocrisy in their face.
Because RDJ's actor character is the butt of the joke. Everyone else in the movie knows the pigmentation thing was wrong. That's why the audience can allow it because of who the joke is about even with the subject.
I suspect the truth is most people accurately pick up on the fact that RDJ is lampooning 'method' actors and not doing blackface as racial mockery. Really only people who haven't actually bothered to watch the film would go down that road. Also with regards to that word - it's superficial to just think of it as a word change or "PC" it's about thinking of people with those disabilities as actually human and not just dumb animals. It's a net change for the better the word is taboo in today's age. Doesn't mean this scene isn't still hilarious, though.
It's all about mind fucking the audience.
When RDJ was on Joe Rogan he mentioned people were more pissed at Stiller for the Simple Jack character and he couldn’t believe it 😂
I love the juxtaposition of someone like Natalie who tries to keep it together and feels bad about laughing and Georges who just laughs out loud!
Thanks for this compilation; it's hilarious!
The best part of that scene is that he delivers it in full black face and speaking jive.
He wasn't speaking Jive or in blackface you retard.
Downey's character is trolling Stiller's character so hard in this scene.
Notice how RDJ keeps breaking eye contact with Stiller as he’s explaining things to him - he has to be thinking, “This guy CANNOT be serious.”
His acting is like working with Mercury, it's an art form.😂
I love how angry he sounds for "simple ass Jack" and "the dumbest motherfucker that ever lived" just because he knows Tugg is too stupid to understand.
"You was farting in bathtubs and laughing your ass off."
Not just trolling. Also teaching real acting technics
"A lot has changed. "
Not really everyone still laughed 😊
She is really into the whole political correctness thing.
Yeah some keep saying that, but it's not true, it is still funny. Some people just don't get the joke, back then and now.
i was thinking the same when she said that, nothing has changed, this stupid people want to belive it is but we still laughing at this, because it is FUNNY
Yeah Yeah closet Liberal.
@@riveraharper8166 - Yeah. So it's so terrible being liberal (i.e. open to new ideas) and not wanting to be an offensive douchbag.
That chick with the hat is someone you couldn't hang with and have fun. She's too into her virtue to be able to talk one on one.
The people laughing are the real ones.
Oh, she would lose her shit with every other sentence that comes out of my mouth. I have a super woke pc cousin who refuses to come to family gatherings because the rest of us don't censor ourselves for her. It's hilarious.
He said to an empty youtube comment section eyes leaking with loneliness.
@@Matisaro the irony of you commenting 8 months after I did with the comment you made is laughable. I'm embarrassed for you.
@@brandonschneider3993 Why's ironic that he commented 8 months after?
@@Despair505 just read his comment.....
Seeing the youngsters get offended is almost as funny as those hilarious lines! 😂😂😂
People are WAAAAAY too easily offended these days. this movie is great :)
Movie is awesome. Some of these people need to grow up and take the stick outta their ass.
These days?
Find it funny he left out sling blade Billy Bob Thornton
I'm sorry,who was acting offended in this video? They were all laughing. Some of them uncomfortably,but I saw TT twice in the movies when it came out and there were 100% some people then that were side-eyeing each other with "WTF?" looks on their faces then as well.
This scene was meant to be a little bit controversial.
And the "these days" crap. F*CKING STOP with that nonsense already. You know,back in 1939 when men were supposedly men if you go by all the stupid BS we read online ,everyone lost their shit because Clark Gable said "Damn" on screen. Oh my stars and garters!
@@wreckingKREW1 I think he meant in the comment section there are people offended I found a few very few
I’ve yet to find a single reactor who truly appreciates the genius level comedy happening throughout the entire movie with RDJ’s character.
Yeah people just look at one or two aspects of the character but when you look at the character as a whole it is brilliant. RDJ’s character is a play on the Oscar bait method actor and how Hollywood will use the guise of “art” as a way to excuse their own depravity while also at the same time pretending to be these uber moral people when they are just total pieces of crap.
The more you dig into the movie the better it gets. Like a whole other layer is there.
Plus this was one of the last times Hollywood made fun of themselves. Which they could certainly use more of these days.
He’s just a dude playing a dude pretending to be another dude.
Epic next level comedy.
@@mcjim256 Disguised as another dude!
they're all zoomers, can't expect thoughts to be generated by them.
@OrbiTiZZeD Almost none of these reactors are zoomers lol. Most of them are in their 30's.
One of the best scenes of the movie.
This movie needs a sequel!!
Bruh the crybabies would burn down theaters
No sequel. Stands perfectly on its own. Sequels are part of the movie business machine they were making fun of.
I love that they got uncomfortable about the word “retarded” but didn’t care that Robert Downey Jr was in black face 😂
The irony.
Actually if you go look at these people reaction videos, they cringed at that too. Tropic thunder is a great Comedy but its weird to watch the younger generation think it cringy, even tho they still laughing
Because he's not in blackface.
Two types of people: those who laugh at this and those who are afraid to laugh....but simply can't help it.
never seen people afraid 2 laugh , so much fear ,
You gotta pretend to be offended so you don't upset your fake internet friends. Duh.
Then you should watch Blind Wave's reactions to Always Sunny.
A few of them are vocal about their certain political persuasions and occasionally virtue signal when exploring a theme in a movie. So if they laugh at this, they will be canceled faster than Speedman went full retard
@@MamadNobariDon't they refuse to laugh at anything that is slightly edgy? Trying to remember if that was them. Stopped watching who ever it was because their refusal to even acknowledge a joke existed was cringier than any joke.
i dont think that was them - they usually roll with the shit just fine. What you are describing sounds like "the Normies" @@RandomPickles
The comedic irony in this whole scene is the hypocrisy that he went full black face by getting a skin pigmentation procedure and never breaking character while telling him what he did wrong with Simple Jack.
yes, but what percentage of the current audience could grasp something like that ? you expect them not to just hang on tight and wait cringingly for the bad word to go away. we are more than a full decade removed from critical thinking occurring in people under 40.
There is no irony there. The Simple Jack thing isn't about the character having been offensive. It's about it being boring.
I still cannot get used to this word being a taboo now. Literally EVERYONE used to say it back then.
I love this movie because it’s not making fun of people, it’s making fun of the industry that thrives off making fun of people.
The craziest part is how accurate this is; he’s throwing out concrete examples of actual movies. This scene killed the entire genre.
I still love how this is the coldest logic about the Academy and it's done with the funniest delivery. It's still gold.
People haven't "woken" up to something they didn't see before. They added significance to something that was never there. This is pure comedy gold. ❤😮😂
People don't actually appreciate RDJ's superior level of acting here. He owned Sgt Lincoln's character like a God. The accent, the monotonous behaviour and the comedic timing is just so perfect
and he did went on character for the dvd commentary.
Hup!... what do you mean "owned"?
You mean, he owned Kirk Lazarus owning Osirus. It's like an onion of insane acting with all the layers.
The irony is, the film is making fun of people like you too. The pretentious type with over the top platitudes for an actor. Like a God? Dude, relax. Really fun film, however you and a lot of the commenters here are falling victim of taking it all too seriously, just like the characters in the movie.
JR: Do you think that you can make that movie today?
RDJ: Oh, you couuuld. 😂😂😂
And can we all please appreciate the fact that, not only did he say the word so many time, but that he did it in blackface
That chick in the brown hat is the type of person to avoid at all costs
I doubt she'll go full retard
Yeah...She's just one of those dumb pc morons
Honestly, the current culture we live in actually makes this movie funnier.
It's absolutely unreal how terrified everyone is when in a "public" setting to do anything at all that they think might get them cancelled. It's so annoying and I'm so glad that there's a stand up comedy boom where they're all holding the line and not catering to the politically correct overcorrection that's happened
@@thaterrapinI think that's mostly a US American thing. I still use "retarded" regularly and it's not really an issue.
I generally don't think that "the current culture" is much different from any culture we ever had. People have been easily offended since forever. Only the reasons changed. The only differene is the massive magnifying glass called the internet that is everywhere now.
“A lot has changed.”
And YET they all laugh. Funny is funny . There are no limits if that’s the goal. I miss comedies.
This scene sums up what the movie is ultimately about. The dangers of method acting, you don't just play a character, you become another person and Ben Stiller even said something about it in the clip.
Natalie Gold taking the gold again in being insufferably sanctimonious
I used to like her but shes so fake
Yep, smugness & condescension creates an unwatchable reactor.
I'm gonna go with Ms. Gold having someone in her life who is Developmentally Disabled as to why she was so clearly offended.
Honestly, I don't quite understand how a word that simply means slowed down has been turned into "The R Word" BUT if Developmentally Disabled people say it offends them, then don't use it. It's that simple.
@@curtismartin2866
Don't go full retard..
@@curtismartin2866 My big brother is retarded, he laughed at Tropic Thunder.
As he says, if you DON'T make fun of EVERYONE, like not making fun of people with disabilities, you are discriminating.
My brother taught me true equality, make fun of everyone and everything, otherwise you're literally treating them differently because of their situation which is what they DO NOT want.
Nothing breaks my heart more than to see people become this uncomfortable with comedy!
They have bent the knee and accepted censorship, which in turn, makes them into sheep who cannot even laugh without looking around to see if it "Ok to laugh".
They are feminized, they are afraid of "hurting feelings".
It's pathetic.
Women are 6 times more politically correct than men and we have let women take over society and tell people "to be soft, sensitive and in touch with your emotions", and now everyone is soft and weak, afraid of words and can't even laugh at a joke because "oh my, that's not correct".
Pathetic.
Nothing? I’d say seeing people abuse disabled people might be more heart breaking…. I think this scene is hilarious- but that’s *because* they are making fun of the guy who is an idiot- not disabled people. It’s sad how many people are commenting that they *miss* a lack of empathy.
@@brianblock2583 Saying retard is not abusing disabled people you fucking nancy.
It's George Orwell 1984. The thought police
@@brianblock2583 I think you missed the point little buddy.
The genius of this movie is RDJ says "playing a guy who isn't smart but thinks he is, thats tricky" ... while he is doing the exact same thing in this movie
This had me crying laughing. I LOVE this movie. Saw it back in theaters when it was first released and I still laugh. All the time.
What’s funny is you could t even say it when this was made.
That’s also what made it so funny.
Love the fact that these are precisely the people and reactions this scene is mocking...
"We'll never get movies like that again"
We will. When the world stops thinking that words are vIoLeNcE. The pendulum is swinging.
Totally agree. I reackon in around 5 - 10 year we'll be just as honest and irreverent as we used to be.
There’s always the pendulum swing. I’ve been warning people for decades when they get all uptight and one-sided.
@@silver292I honestly pray for this. People judging others for saying something innocently, over the quality of their character, is just back asswards.
@@n30ng75there's always the pendulum swings and I feel like this politically correct overcorrection was caused by it seeming like there is a bigger crowd of people doing the cancelling bc of social media. It will and already is correcting course. Just look at the stand up comedy boom that we're in the middle of. It's bc people want good comedy and don't want to worry about every word being judged.
I'm black and legit forgot Kirk Lazarus was a White dude several times in the movie, its such a genius performance by RDJ.😂
That is the quietest reaction from this channel ever.😂
Sean Penn did go home empty-handed. Dustin Hoffman and Tom Hanks didn't.
I don’t know what’s better; three minutes of laughing my ass off with some of my favorite reactors or that it took one scene to finally shut Natalie Gold up for once.
😆
Who?
Ouch lol
You know you don't have to watch her videos if you don't like her talking in a reaction video when it's literally her job.
@@phoenix0153the last one
This reaction video is as funny as the actual scene. They are so uncomfortable. Absolute gold.
Is it wrong that I find it strangely enjoyable watching Natalie Gold slowly dying inside whilst watching this movie? 🤔😊🤣
I find it super cringe and that tells me all I need to know about her.
Yeah i fucking hate her. I enjoyed her early reactions but she is insufferable to watch now
@@Alran109Yeah I had to stop watching her reactions because she came across as extremely fake.
But what’s ironic is… like the video caption stated, she’s one of the few who’s bold enough to actually post her whole reaction to the film. Most people who react to Tropic Thunder skip this part. I’ll, at least, give her that.
@@tmc31390unless you count it as a virtue signal. "Look how uncomfortable I am. "
“A lot has changed in 12 years” … yeah for the worse
Yes for the worse unfortunately.
For example, wearing a hat at home
Damn right.
@@sobrevalorado yeah she sucks
Good point.
I remember watching this film in the theater, unable to hear during this conversation because of the vociferous laughter. Some guy then says aloud to “rewind it” because of the noise-causing another bout of laughter.
To say this film was a riot was an understatement.
One of the things I love about being born (and living in) a country that speaks a different language is that I get subtitles. Don't matter how loud the room is, I get all.
Natalie Gold's Tropic Thunder reaction is when I stopped watching her. She kept forcing herself to both cringe and not laugh, as if she felt obligated to do so. Tropic Thunder's humor is deceptively genius and Ben Stiller (and his co-writers) new exactly what they were doing. A hilarious, instant classic of comedy.
Sad thing is she's suppose to be an actor...how does she not get that scene? And how old she is too, sad to be that old and brainwashed
LOL at the uncomfortable reactions. This is a generation who were never taught stick and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.
We need movies to return to a point where we are again comfortable making people feel deeply uncomfortable.
Seen Hereditary?
And through their discomfort, hopefully they’ll pull their heads out of their 4th point of contact.
Love this movie when it came out in theater. Now it's a masterpiece because of the current culture we live in.
That part had me laughing so hard I started coughing. He said fartin in bath tubs and laughin your ass off. Lol classic man. Made my day
Can everyone just say what an awesome edit this is??!! Kudos to the editor.
"Sean Penn.....went FULL-RETARDED! Came home EMPTY-HANDED." That was
BRUTAL!😂😂😂
Leonardo DiCaprio also went full-retard in What's Eating Gilbert Grape and went home empty handed.
it's not brutal, its sad.
I couldn’t hear the dialogue because of all those truth bombs.
"I am Sam" was a terrible movie.
It's about a very low IQ guy who somehow managed to have a one night stand and is trying to get custody of his daughter (played by Dakota Fanning).
The movie doesn't work because the character of Sam does not have any redeeming qualities. Rain Man had amazing mathematical abilities, and I would personally say that Forrest Gump's greatest "talent" was simply that he was a good man who always went out of his way to do right by others. All the other movies in a similar vein showed triumph over adversity, but that triumph depended on some amazing talent or admirable character trait.
All Sam did was use the legal system to get custody of his daughter ... who would have probably been better off almost anywhere else other than under his care. The movie was sold as being about Sam's triumphant gaining of custody ... but nobody with sense and an ounce of empathy actually wanted that outcome.
So there are clearly limits to the trope. No one wants to watch a movie that consists of watching a vegetable spasming in his hospital bed. That would just be depressing - and "I am Sam" was just barely above that level.
Man I grew up in the 80's and everybody called everyone retarded, it wasn't even a thing, people are so sensitive now....
Even in 2008 when I watched this in theater my first thought was “oh they don’t give a f” 😂 still the funniest movie I’ve ever seen. The layers to it. The packed cast with perfect roles. They all killed it. Tom Cruise was just the cherry on top.
Inappropriate laughter is the absolute best. As a young boy, I used to get one of my oldest brothers in trouble by bringing something inappropriate to his attention in public, then stepping back from the situation as he made an ass out of himself for laughing. In church was the ideal time to put him in this position . 😂LOL
Its scary watching how easily offended these 20 somethings get. How do they get through the week?.
They don't without drugs, therapists, and social media. What a weak generation.
It's like a Pavlovian response, just a reaction to what they've been told over and over is bad. It's as if context is no longer important.
"A lot has changed in 15 years."
Only for saying the word. The attitude is still there.
Stumbled upon this gold, by accident, and glad I did. This movie is top tier comedy!
This scene is such a great litmus test.
This is insane, because this scene was so funny to general audiences back then (still is to people who still have senses of humor today) that it was getting repeated for years after the movie released, it was considered one of the funniest scenes in the movie and part of it was in the trailer. What’s more insane is that most of these people are old enough to have remembered this and remember how funny it was to themselves too. But alas, they’ve been told this isn’t allowed to be laughed at anymore, so they just pretend. What a world we live in now.
Most of these people don’t look old enough to have watched tropic thunder 15 years ago. Usually the entire premise of recording a movie reaction is that you haven’t seen the movie before.
And at the time it was already a bit controversial. The Special Olympics requested for people not to see the movie. Everyone knows it’s the boomers who started the whole PC movement, not young people/millennials.
Not only did most of the reactors still laugh at the scene but they left this scene in their videos when they could have just cut it out if they were really that afraid of being politically correct.
@@TP-pq9xx nice troll
@@cojac6SMG Every bit of that comment is factual
@@TB-tc5zb You weren't technically old enough to watch a rated R movie in 2008. So you see my point about people 30 and younger who all missed when this movie came out.
Lots of people when they're in high school aren't very aware of anything outside of their own personal lives. And even as adults many people remain that way. There were actually people upset about the movie when it released whether your 16 year old self heard about it or not.
Bunch of retards ill tell you that - they went full retard
This movie was epic! " You been talking to me this whole time!"
The actual black guy what do you mean you people 😂
Idk why, but that scene is 10x funnier now than it was then.
Stick n' stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Sack up kids.
I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. We called our Friends "Retard" all the time. We probably said it 20 times a day to each other. So watching people get weirded out by a word like that is strange. The dictionary still has the SAME definition for the word "retarded", and it's an apt way to describe someone. So I think I'm gonna keep saying "retarded"...because I like it, and it works.
My best friend and I still use the word on each other. People need to lighten up.
I still use it regularly.
I was a kid in the 60s and 70s and we would call each other "retard", "fag" and "pussy" all the time. When my family moved from rural Ohio to Orlando, Florida, the blacks called everyone the "N" word and Motherfucker. Times have sure changed. Nobody said any of those things out of spite or hatred. There are so many words that got used - doofus, nerd, dickhead, etc. yet Nobody took real offense. Today's kids (and sadly many younger adults) freak and scream at the slightest thing.
Every single reactor was holding in laughter.. Just laughing at a absurd and over the top conversation In a movie
turned into a cloud of fear if you smile too much .
dudeee this was amazing omg holy shit this edit was genius
Sensitive asf people!!! 😂 That's sooo hilarious!!!
As an old person it is interesting watch the young react in such a Pavlovian manner. You have been conditioned beyond your understanding

Don`t let political correctness spoil this scene. This is great acting! Ben and Robert at their best:-)
I just wonder how many takes this scene did, wonder if they broke character doing this scene it's pure gold!!
That makes it even funnier. When this came out, nobody cared about who said the word, now, hearing him say it 20x so nonchalantly makes it so much better.
This is a movie that is supposed to satirize the lengths actors go through to win awards, and just how incredibly stupid it is. If anything, this issue comes up from individuals drawing a hard line on what is unacceptable to say and removing context. The removal of context from public discourse I believe should be in a politically incorrect sphere just as much as the person actually saying the r-word within the context of intentionally being offensive. Removing context is a recipe for misinformation and propagates a civilization without critical thinking skills. Case and point, I feel where the communities this film offended, I being a person on the autism spectrum, should have directed their issues is in the fact that this thing did get nominations, and if Stiller was truly on point with making this film to make fun of actors who go to extreme lengths to win awards, then the actors should not become what they were trying to satirize. That can be argued to be quite hypocritical as this film won a critic's choice award. This film literally became an extreme satire that went to that length in which... intentional or not... won awards. At that point, what are you truly satirizing? Yourself? They should have refused the awards if they felt so strongly about the satire argument.
New... PC. I don't remember this, Political Correctness, when I was growing up.
It was PC to say retarded back then. It's why this scene was in the movie and why he kept saying it. This wasn't just a casual conversation, the joke was saying it. I lot of people in the comments are acting like the word was just recently taboo. We have this scene because people were trying to erase the word use back then too
Easily one of the most brilliant and hilarious expositions in cinema history.
I don't know what was more funny. The clips from a hilarious movie, or how awkward these folks were as they tried to fight off full-on laughter.
The lady at the end was right "a lot has changed in 12-15 years". Social media has made people less tolerant.
Social media has ruined society.

That expression is everywhere now😂🤣 I hear it on the golf course after bad shots. 😂
The best scene and may be the last of its kind ...gotta protect this movie at all costs 😂
This whole sequence and the "What do you mean you people?" are probably the 2 funniest scenes in this movie.
This role proved hands down how genius Robert Downey Jr's acting is.
A lot of people making reaction videos, when a joke like this come around, they usually say "Nowadays, they cannot make this kind of scene" "This kind of humor cannot happened these days"......... My question is, why the fuck no? If this video proofs something is that we need this kind of irreverent over the top kind of humour, if only not to become mindless drones at the mercy of whatever random morality rules on twitter by the moment......
Watching this I can see the people I would have fun hanging out with, and those I wouldn't. I can't imagine not thinking this is absolute comedy gold.
Embarrassing watching grown men and women so scared of people's opinion that they pretend to care about a word in a movie.
Amazingly, all viewers survived this horribly traumatic experience...
When this movie came out I got about 8 minutes in and couldn’t watch anymore. Years later I finally did watch it, fricken HILARIOUS. It’s actually a very well done film.
Just laugh guys. It’s funny. Too worried about being canceled nowadays
I love the woman with the hat. 😂
I got a coworker called Nelson who has down syndrome. People tiptoe around him when he first came to the office. During our first lunch together a couple of the guys came and introduce themselves so he said "My name is Nelson, you can call me Babyface Nelson, not because I'm a gangster but because of the down syndrome" and we all busted our guts laughing. People are so afraid of offending others that they don't know whether the person who is supposed to be offended is fine or just don't care.
It also matters where its coming from, whether its coming from a place of humor and comradery or a place of malice and meanness. Trust me they can tell when you are laughing with them or at them
@@slider954then it should be up to them, to tell whether they are comfortable with it, or not. Outside opinion just may ruin a relationship that could have blossomed. Walking around on egg shells just means you don't trust each other.
Seconded. A coworker and I worked home improvement, amd he had a birth defect. A smaller arm. He made jokes about it and made others laugh, and showed how comfortable he was about it, others got along well. One time, we were in conversation when he was called off to help with a load, and I tell him to remember to use his "strong arm," while motioning my arm, as if it was his. The guy nearly fell to the floor laughing.
Obviously, this goes without saying, you just don't approach some random person, or just expect others to understand and be OK with jokes about personal abnormalities. Read the room, and know your audience.
Nowadays you got these self-righteous people who are offended on behalf of those they see as less. If you are offended FOR someone, that means you see them as less and so you think you have to defend them. Meanwhile, those of us who enjoy the presence and having a good time joking around with them are seen as the evil baddies. It's such an upside down world now.
Bingo, pretty sure the people who are offended are the ones saying other "groups" are offended as a whole. So basically people are getting offended on behalf of other people who have not said they are offended.... so the offense is kind of made up.
I remember hearing about Apu on the Simpsons being played by a white actor and all the white outrage over that. Apparently he is a beloved India icon. Similarly with a video of a guy wearing a poncho and sombrero at white college campuses upsetting the white teens who thought it was racists. Meanwhile authentic Mexicans loved the outfit and couldn't stop talking or complimenting him on it. It creates conversation, opens language barriers. Now if the kid went to Mexico, took a shit on the poncho and burned it in the street then yeah I bet a lot of people would be pissed off.
Turns out that most people have a sense of humor and also people just like recognition. A lot of countries consume American media so even a joke character like Apu is a big deal to people who feel a kinship to their people.
I still think to this day that Stiller knew RDJ was going to get a ton of fake outrage for his character, so he cranked the offensive meter up to 11 for Simple Jack to pull some focus lol
What makes this so funny (and totally okay to laugh at in my opinion) is the fact that intellectually disabled people aren't the joke, the actors are. Just like Downey doing a character, literally in blackface. The joke isn't on black folks, it's on the actors again and how ridiculous their reasoning is.
This is STILL fun to watch. 😂 Also, what a great movie. 👍🏻
It's taken me a while to notice this, but I really appreciate how you mix the scene in with the reactors. It follows from the idea that the characters are reacting too. Great work.
Some people seem like they're missing the point of the movie. It's satire about Hollywood actors who on one hand are really insecure and on the other hand are full of themselves. So, all these conversations make sense when you know how they are fully out of touch with the rest of the world.
I’ll only be friends with the people who laughed their asses off, watching that movie and that kind of humor100%!!!
Actually, it is amazing to realize how few people today realize they are not making fun of people with mental challenges, but are making fun of people who act THIS WAY.
