The fact a weasle at The Hollywood Reporter doesn't like a joke automatically makes it 10x funnier.
The Hollywood reporter is a pathetic joke herself, so she's jealous of the OK joke.
"I am offended!!!"
"Seriously, who gives a fuck?!"
Amber and Johnny's relationship can not be compared to a trashed trailer. It was more like a train, on fire, being driven into a fuel depot and then exploding.
How I hate this time period where everybody becomes offended by everything...
What you just said is offensive to those of us who have feelings.
@@Criner05 Hey! I’m a ginger and I don’t even HAVE feelings. Check your having-feelings privilege you bigot.
Agreed; some people will find it funny, some people will find it offensive, some people will find it forgettable, etc. It was a joke in a movie, I wouldn't even address it.
Only one joke ? People are insane ! Hope more people find more of this movie offensive ! Free advertisement for the movie ! It’s NOT WOKE and this is GOOD COMEDY - go and see this movie !! Do NOT apologize! Own it !!
Only Soy would find it distasteful in any way , shape or form.
That writer must not have anything important to say if she’s going to get worked up over a throwaway line.
The Fall Guy is Kenough. Never apologize for success.
Alan has zeroed in on the target. "Internet upset" = 2 people with a few followers said a thing.
That's so soft. That's a nothing joke.
If we can't laugh, we never move on.
And I plan on laughing a lot at the last decade
“Since the rise of social media there’s been a need to validate people that don’t really make” (paraphrase)
Well said
“There is no such thing as an appropriate Joke, that’s why it’s a Joke” - Michael Scott
Also: The perfect response to this is playing Seinfield saying that the woke and far left have ruined comedy.
This joke is perfect...
I don't think it's about "journalists" needing to validate anyone. They have a need to fabricate outrage for clicks by finding anything no matter how trivial and pushing and exaggerating the narrative until it gains traction. Once that happens every other clickhunting "journalist" will use it as a definitive source.
They’re not journalists. They’re activists.
This just proves what Jerry Seinfeld said about comedy was correct
I can't even tell which way the joke is leaning....
It's leaning the PROPER way - it's making fun of an aggressive toxic relationship between two people, AS IT SHOULD. It's an awesome, well placed joke that takes a jab at what's ACTUALLY wrong.
I mean, some people side with Amber, some people side with Johnny, but REASONABLE people understand they're both blithering idiots who damaged their own lives, and what's worse, their child's life. Fans of Johnny will say "but SHE did it ALL" while completely losing perspective that HE wasn't a helpless victim chained to the bed. I mean he could've walked out on that relationship AGES ago and also have kept a condom on. Instead they created all this pathetic drama with their kid as a collateral.
If anything, the joke will date the movie. In a few years, people will scratch their heads and say, "Huh?", if they even perceive the joke as such.
Even if the joke is dated, one joke won't date the movie.
In any case, I like a little time-specificity in old movies. Part of the fun of old movies (and books) is old references and slang, especially as we live in an age where you can just look it up online if you are genuinely puzzled. I watch a lot of foreign movies too, and encountering expressions and cultural practices that are novel to me is part of my enjoyment
I don't think going over a screenplay to make sure a movie is purged of all jokes people won't get in 20 years will just result in even blander movies.
I also think that Johnny Depp stands a good chance of entering the pantheon of stars that people will remember indefinitely. The Depp-Heard trial is also very likely something that will be an enduring part of Hollywood history..Not only does it have plenty of sordid details, it's also genuine cultural turning point against cancel culture.
I'm going to see this at Universal Studios next week! 😊
There are always a few weak and spineless people who spend all their time trying to find something to be upset about. Have a word with yourselves.
Just watched it last night. That joke was subtle and very funny.
Comedy is dead because of Twitter jackasses like the person who was "offended." The writer should highlight that fact. They'd be doing the film industry a favor.
The wording of the joke is so vague as to be inconsequential. What he SHOULD have said was "Jeez, did Amber Heard drop a deuce in HERE, too?" {quick edit: If that's TOO specific, say "crazy Amber" instead. If Miss Heard's lawyer's object, they could say, "we didn't mean YOU, we meant some other Amber".)
I remember the joke. I laughed at it, as did the mostly full theatre, get over it. The film was good, not trying to preach too much, funny with decent effects and action. Predictable but easy to watch without needing to think at all.
Worst thing you can do as a creator is apologize for your creation.
That joke hit perfect imho.
Well, since they're brave enough to make such a tame joke, perhaps the movie won't be completely forgettable after all. I might just go see it.
Dante's correct, the existence of this article proves that the writer has an agenda in writing it
Remember Twitter isn’t the real world, but unfortunately some people think it still is and need something to fill their empty lives. Agree 100% with not trusting journalists- do your own research to find the original source.
Agreed, don't apologize. Especially with a certain type of people who if you give them an inch, they will take a mile
I just saw the movie, and I didn't even catch that joke.
I'm offended that the antagonists in films are always portrayed negatively.
"fuck em just to see the look on they face" is a lost art
Amber really did a "number" on Johnny.
I remember the scene... but I don't remember her saying that. Also, if it's the scene where she attacked him while he was wearing the costume, and the place is all messed up, why would anyone be offended by that? The Depp Heard trial went into too much detail about their lives and the fights they got into with each other. I see nothing wrong at all with a joke mocking that. Maybe if there was shit on the floor in the trailer I would say it was a bit too on the nose, but otherwise, this is a non-issue.
I don't remember there being any turd in that scene
Oh well.
Despite how inconsequential the joke is, it's the attention brought to it that these complainers want. Negative attention is better than no attention, and no publicity is bad publicity to them. The more it gets discussed, the more it encourages people to take this kind of offense.
Or, with some of us, we go en masse to watch the movie and laugh at the joke. But yeah, they just want the attention.
If they apologize then they deserve the wrath that will fall upon them. Never apologize for anything they say was offensive to the woke.
I just watched this last night and I had no idea what she was saying and didn't get the joke at all. Anyway, the executive producer is intended to be a despicable person who says inappropriate things. As far as I'm concerned, the comment fit the character and situation, regardless of how you might feel about the Heard/Depp trial.
“Did a stampede roll through here?” Anyways…yeah, who cares about Twitter?
Wait, Amber Heard has fans?
The Fall Guy was a good time. Not spectacular but should be doing better at the BO. Gosling and Blunt are seriously great on their own but especially together
Stop clutching at the pearls…🙄
It's hilarious and it was a joke. Nothing more to it, however you will have people that find it funny, people who find it offensive, people that don't even know what the joke is referencing and people who won't even notice the joke.
Hahaha just heard the joke just now and it's just funny to me
There is no such thing as a distasteful joke. There are jokes that make you laugh, and jokes that don't work; jokes you like, and jokes that you don't. And if you don't like it, you don't like it. Period. Move on and let others enjoy it, or judge it on their own.
comment, videos, movies
doubtful movies can survive with social media. its good going back in time before social media to when good movies were made, and we could make fun of what needs making fun of. otherwise, today, cancel pigs are too dangerous.
I'm sure I'll buy fall guy on disc, maybe watch it in movie house too, because Ryan, and Emily are worth supporting.
the ONLY people who have any right to complain about the joke in this case would be Johnny or Amber... the rest of us can simply suck it up and either laugh or not as we see fit. move along, nothing to see here! Cheers!
It's not a good joke, and nothing will date this movie more than a joke that no one will get in 10 years. That said, they absolutely shouldn't be apologizing or even worrying about this little article. Nobody is really offended.
I want to be a fence sitter. We complain about woke stuff, that we ruin movies because we need more representation due to a minority group. Now we actually have a 4th breaking wall and it's suddenly okay?
A video about an article about a tweet by a random guy... really ran out of topics? Will you do a video about what the drunk on the corner blurted out?
I haven’t really been paying attention but I thought for sure someone was going to get upset about the toxic masculinity joke in that film. I can’t even remember what was said exactly but as soon as I heard those words I expected the woke mob to be beating down their door. I saw the film and I thought it was just OK. I found the trailer to be misleading about what actually happens in the movie but that’s par for the course these days.
I think Amber and Johnny poop joke are hilarious.
If this triggers the wokesters, it increases my desire to watch the movie.
Somebody was offended?
Who cares?
Give this 48 hours when other, bigger stuff will inevitably happen, and nobody will remember nor care about this “journalist’s” ludicrous opinion on jokes.
someone is offended.
That is most likely a you issue, don't make a you issue into a everyone issue.
The joke seems so generic it's not funny at all. It's low-hanging fruit. And it was tame. It wouldn't even be said at a roast.
Jokes are meant to push the envelope. Show me on the doll where this one hurt the millionaires. Get over it.
I was more offended that I wasted 2 hours watching this crap chicken flick. It was f'ing awful.
