Half in the Bag: Borat 2 and The Haunting of Bly Manor
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- Half in the Bag is back! Since they're not going to the theater to see the 1.5 movies that have actually been released recently, Mike and Jay instead talk about a couple of popular streaming options, the Borat sequel and The Haunting of Bly Manor. RIP Movie Theaters.
"I didn't care about Tenet either way" - There it is Jay, the cleverest pun based movie joke you've ever made, and you didn't even realize you made it.
"Way, either Tenet about care, didn't I."
could you please explain for the uninitiated ( foreigner) .. I don't get it...
@@asifexisted "tenet" is a palindrome, meaning it is the same read forwards and backwards, so either way.
It’s also a Simpsons reference, from the episode Two Bad Neighbors.
I haven’t seen TENET yet, but it’ll be out on disc shortly so not long now. Love Chris Nolan’s films, but at this point, I’m kinda hoping he’ll drop the non linear-puzzle box style of storytelling that he’s become known for. M.Night Shyamalan went to that well once too often and look how that turned out for him.
This is the best intro sketch to a Half in the Bag episode ever. I’ve never felt this tense before. Glad Mike is safe until age finally catches up to him.
@Connor He was feeling very tense, and I for one can sympathise.
Or cirrhosis
Or the alcholhol.
Or diabetes.
... in three years.
"It's much like that episode of Star Trek." *looks into camera*
My god. He's becoming self aware.
And it totally was like that episode of Star Trek
The world will end when he inevitably says, "It's much like that episode of Half in the Bag when I brought up this one episode of Star Trek."
In under 6 minutes we had Mike make a movie idea out of thin air AND compare it to a Star Trek reference. It's like they're speedrunning a Half In The Bag episode.
Somebody get summoning salt.

That's a good Bzzzt.

These frauds need to admit that they only reviewed Borat 2 because Tutar, his daughter, was majoring in VCR Repair.
that was a hilarious "coincidence" and i immediately thought of Lighting Fast when that happened
hahaha good catch
I'm just waiting for:
"Half in the Baaaag"
"It's like that episode of Star Trek"
i clapped when it happened
@@pantalaemon very cool. Very cool
Look at today's video! (Half in the Bag: Censor)
Wish granted.
"And then I fell asleep because I had too much rum" I feel like this could be added to the end of any of Mikes sentences for instant comedic effect.
"and then I farted"
It's hard to judge a bad episode of half in the bag.....cuz they don't really exist. But this one feels really off. It's usually because mike's rambling about his love of haunted house movies is just long winded and boring
After watching that beginning ramble, this is the first Half in the Bag where I genuinely believe that Mike and Jay have been truly broken by 2020.
I loved it. They have so much polished content and this is a reflection of the time. Leaving it in will harken back to absurdity that is these times.
I live for Mike Stoklasa Movie Ideas.
Yeah but it's the main reason I watch RLM. They go off on great tangents. Thank you 2020
Had no idea Mike was a TNG fan! It was nice for him to pull on that obscure show for reference.
He is the biggest TNG fan.

I saw Mike Stoklasa at the gas station. He was stuffing Reese's fast breaks in his pocket and threatened me not to inform the cashier. Scary!
If he didn't mention Star Trek to you at least 10 times it wasn't him
I'm guessing most of the population of Wisconsin looks like Mike, it could've been anyone
That's the shortest version of this Copypasta I've ever seen
Sad!
did he get in a soccer mom van afterwards with his grandma
I would love for Borat’s daughter to be in an episode of half in the bag after she gets her degree in VCR repair
My god I laughed so hard when they were walking down that hall and the introduction guy announced them lol VCR Repair.. funny stuff
That look Mike gives the camera when he realises he's referenced Star Trek before the ten minute mark
Where's the alarm sound they used for Civil War
I worked on Chopped and it's completely true. once we spent a good half hour dropping a raw turkey in a bathroom to record the sound since we missed it in the actual shoot. Editors can make anyone look bad with a few evil genius cuts.

Jay had 'them' enough 😄😄
I took my father to the original Borat movie, and usually he liked history or more dramatic films, I figured something funny as a break.
(My father was at time a Eastern European immigrant from the post WW2 era)
The funny part is after the movie I asked him what he thought and he said; "Y'know after the cold war ended i figured Kazakhstan would be doing alot better...they're not doing well at all"
I still think this is the funniest thing he's ever said.
Hahaha
If just reading the story you mention is funny enough I can't imagine how funny it was to actually witnessing as it unfolded in real life.
how did he not catch that the gypsies at the start of Borat were all speaking Romanian ? maybe he didn't pay attention, because i've yet to meet a Romanian that didn't get a little pissed about that part.
i assume your father is/was Romanian, since you have the most popular Romanian last name, that's why i'm asking
@@dracowar6 He is, he might have heard that part but ignored it, the part I thought was funny was his misunderstanding of the parody and also ignoring the naked male wrestling.
He wasn't a dumb guy, maybe the Borat character is actually close to people he's met or something.
Lol
Hey you should let your farther know that now, Kazakhstan is actullay doing rather well. Hope he's plesantly suprised
@@peepers20001 no, I assure you, he's quite ignorant - unless he was sarcastic. That's exactly the kind of people Borat is meant to expose as ignorant. And there are plenty of those in Europe too, not just the US.
Hopefully he was just making a joke (a good one, btw).
Mike: As editors ourselves we know you can make people look terrible
Rich Evans:
Which is sad because Rich Evans is the Brad Pitt of Milwaukee.
Mikes half-assed ideas are better than most netflix originals.
This literally has turned into Jay listening to the ramblings of a madman and I love it
I knew Jay edited this one as soon as a picture of Discovery popped up labeled "Next Generation." I hope Mike was furious.
Amazon won’t let me watch borat cause I live in Vietnam. They’re super smart and good at running a steaming service.

As a Bulgarian person it was genuinely funny you said 'Bulgaria' 12 times in the first half and then said the actress in Borat was Romanian when she is in fact.. Bulgarian

@Quick Dry that Cohen is considered a "far left radical" really just shows how far to the extreme right American political discourse has moved since 2006
@@naturesquad9174 Left means censorship, mass blanket censorship like he suggested makes it far, and radical just means adherence to the root ideology. You might consider anything right of doublespeak "extreme right", but that's not insulting to people who don't do doublespeak. Without doublespeak "extreme" doesn't mean "extremist" like in your vocabulary. Burning buildings is extremist, "extreme discourse" is a fake excuse to burn buildings.
5:53 Jay finally found a way to deal with Mike constantly bringing up Star Trek: just ignore it, do not engage in conversation, and the problem will go away.
Brilliant!
Exactly. Unfortunately Jay isn't quite as big of a Trekie as internet celeb and dyslexia advocate Rich Evans!
@Craton ...that reminds me of an episode of ‘Re-View’, where Mike and Rich talk about an episode of TNG where everyone ignores Geordie and Ro.
@Andrew Hogan Thanks that's one of my best.
Maybe he was already dead at the time of that comment and only looks like he's living while having a lively discussion with Mike through editing magic.
Came for a Borat review, left with an introductory course in film editing
As a Bulgarian, I feel pretty amazed with the fact that these two hacks talked about a Bulgarian circus for 15 minutes, but failed to acknowledge the fact that the actress that plays Borat's daughter is Bulgarian and not Romanian.
I was about to write this exact comment but I came across yours so I upvoted instead.
I was about to write the same comment but I realized that no one else gives a shit if she's Bulgarian or Romanian.
@@hihi-sj8wd No, she's not putting on an accent. That is her normal Bulgarian accent.
@@bezahltersystemtroll5055 Less gypsies in Bulgaria maybe?

True... but in fairness, the VCR repair shop pretty much runs itself...

This is the first Half in The Bag in a long time
When Mike mentioned editing I actually was thinking a lot of the first Borat. If you watch him sing the national anthem at the rodeo, there are cuts periodically to people loudly booing. Then there are cuts back to him singing, and you can see the audience behind him, and they are NOT visibly booing... they are kinda just standing there. Definitely filmed at different times (maybe from later in the song?). I agree that there was more editing/ADR in the sequel, but I think the first movie had a bunch too.
Yeah, that movie ruled.
I have a feeling none of these hidden camera movies would work without extensive fibbing like that.
Here's another thought. Borat isn't making fun of stupid people. He's actually showing just how polite people are and how much silliness and rudeness normal people will put up with so THEY aren't rude. Kind of skewers most of it when you realise that...
SPOILERS:
So amused at how Mike, by ad-libbing an overly convoluted plot to ‘Tent’, actually nailed the climax to ‘Tenet’ in which a crack team of soldiers have to penetrate an underground bunker in order to control the reversal of time
Oh, so that was what the hell was happening. I couldn't even figure out who the parts of that conflict were, much less what the objectives were.
He can’t keep getting away with it!!
@@milfordmilfordmilford I keep hearing this from everyone. That the movie was a convoluted mess, but instead of that they keep saying it's "complex", it "really makes you think" and that it requires "some knowledge about time travel before you can start making sense of this new representation of the concept". Just sounds like nobody got it but they don't want to admit it.
@@DarkAngelEU ok so basically tenet doesnt actually make sense if you think about it. Most time travel movies dont
@@DarkAngelEU the movie is nonsense, but it's definitely not hard to understand. It's like nobody ever watched a time travel movie in their life before.

Re: about the toilet thing. Back when i was a kid, we knew several immigrants from very poor countries or were just from poor areas in their countries. After we found poopy tp mounds in our bathroom trash, my parents explained to us kids our plumbing is good enough to flush TP to theirs back home didnt or simply didnt have plumbing. And my parents knew this because they have visited some really poor areas in other countries. I remember the poopy trash stopped so apparently my parents bothered to explain.
The fact that one lady cared enough to explain how to use the toilet was literally just accepting Borat was from a different place. It wasnt looking down on the guy. If anything you guys are looking down on her for simply believing a man was a from a really foreign place she didnt understand but helped out.
Anwelei yes it also ignores a trend back then before the borat release where the US had programs on stuff like PBS showing people from really poor countries escaping to the US. I remember watching them freak out about light inside of rooms and flushing toilets so that lady was jus5 being nice but the point mike was making was also still good. Just wrong example
I also did not understand how they skewed it to be the ladies fault.
Hell even in fairly prosperous countries they don't flush TP. I live in South Korea and you're not supposed to flush TP here. I mean I do, because fuck it. But most South Koreans don't.
@@TrekBeatTK no, it really isn’t
Yeah this was not a good take from them. Such a bizarre interpretation of her trying to help. It's still funny!
When they were talking about how easy it would be to manipulate the rudy giuliani scene I was hoping mike would mention the simpsons episode where homer is accused of sexually harassing a girl and the news totally recuts his interview

Homer was falsely accused.
Rudy was probably erect.

When Mike says "ghost", his Wisconsin really shines.
He just has a fascination with the paranormal that’s all.
That and 'Winnebago' XD
@Sheev Palpatine cool, I had never heard that before.
@Sheev Palpatine absolutely, I’ve had friends and family members pick up accents and dialects even after only a year or so in another country/region! Hell I remember about a decade ago I binged Torchwood one summer, and noticed that on some words I had a Welsh lilt for a couple weeks 😂
I think Mike has a very neutral accent... and then he says “go-ohhst“
It's the same way the old scottish guy in Sub Rosa says it. Sub Rosa is the episode of TNG with the candle and the space ghost.

Never realized Mike's Wisconsin accent till he kept saying Ghost lol
Winnebago and ghost are the code words to unleash his Wisconsin spirit...
@Crow That doesn't sound remotely right yet its true.
@Crow I think depending on where exactly you're from, Chicago/Wiscconsin/Minnesota accents can blur. I live on the border of IL/WI and know mine can shift at times.
I knew someone from Indiana that said ghost like that too, might be a general midwest thing or a "some people just pronounce some words in a goofy manner"
I say it the same way and I’m from Illinois. So probably just a Midwest thing. Lol
I'd love to hear you guys talk more about deceptive editing tricks in shitty shows and movies. The US Kitchen Nightmares show absolutely bombards you with forced fake emotions.
The UK version however, no censors and dramatic music. Leagues above
Very similar editing to US Hell's Kitchen, which contains my favourite editing blunder. In season six, one chef shows up in the background of a shot despite being eliminated three episodes prior

Half in the Bag now has the vibe of Jay visiting Mike at the nursing home and nodding politely until his hour is up.
That moonflower scene perfectly illustrates one of the main problems with modern television writing: "I am a character with a backstory, a handful of deep truths that explain all of my motivations. Let me now tell you in detail what I'm feeling and why, on a subconscious level that I wouldn't be able to readily explicate if I were written like a human being."
it feels like they’re pandering to the less intelligent ppl in the audience bc some ppl are rly that stupid
The movie that mike described sounds like a good idea for a sequel to The Prestige.
The woman who was trying to teach Borat how to use a toilet doesn't teach him because she assumed that Kazakhstan doesn't have indoor plumbing, she was teaching him because he definitely did not use the toilet correctly
If anything, she's awesome for caring enough to endure teaching someone like him how to use one
That's how I feel about it. The dude came down with his shit in a bag. The first thought someone would have is "...this dude either has never used a toilet or has serious brain damage"

Yeah I don't understand that at all. So if someone says something outrageous to me, I should just assume they are tricking me? Are we really supposed to be that paranoid?
I think her reaction was actually pretty good considering: who the hell would go that far for a joke? And then to do it deadpan while they have their own people recording them do it? Silly take on RLM's end.
@@epiphany271 Was thinking the same thing. The whole situation is absurd, which is why it's funny. But the classy lady actually doesn't berate him or have this typical reaction of being disgusted. She keeps calm, acts very motherly and explains to Borat how to use this toilet.
Believe it or not, but we had a Chinese exchange program a couple of years ago and one of them was squatting ON TOP of the toilet like they would in China, because there they mainly still have French toilets aka just a hole in the floor. We knew because he told us it was so difficult to balance on our kind of toilets and then asked us why they're shaped like that lol
Yes. The moment he did that, there are two possible conclusions: this is a fucking joke or this guy really doesn't know how toilets work and someone needs to explain it RIGHT NOW to him.
@@gnomeam They did put that one together. What is surprising is that you can't put together that the point is that people would easily realize the dude is trolling them and it's an act if it wasn't a foreigner that they assume is uneducated and dumb, which is what they're actually saying.

Thank you

He's from Arizona.
It gets more subtle as the video progresses. Cool!
The babysitter and her church actually thought the girl was being trafficked. They were really worried about her.
No such thing, CNN told me it's just a conspiracy theory.
"The mere fact that they feel like they have to explain that to a grown adult from a foreign country shows their opinion of people who live in foreign countries. That they're so unsophisticated that they can't even wipe their own butt."
I donno that's a bit of a stretch. I don't think she was explaining how to poop and wipe purely because he was from a foreign country. She was doing it because he just demonstrated that he didn't know how to poop and wipe by bringing her a bag of his own poop. If anything it goes to show how nice and accommodating Americans are towards foreigners. The lady probably didn't think she would be teaching a grown adult how to use the toilet. But she did it because she wanted to help out what was, from her perspective, a naive foreigner who didn't understand how society works in America.
Reminder that Mike and Jay are Wisconsin versions of hipsters so...
I think Mike and Jay were coming from the angle of "You should really know this is a joke, and that foreigners know that putting your poop in a bag isn't normal in any part of the world"
@@ciknay547 In that case I would say that Mike and Jay are pretty ignorant to the cultures and customs of the world where people have different standards and contexts for dealing with bodily functions.
@@Wolf_ManJack where do people act like this? I've lived in a few countries and I've never seen or even heard second hand of anyone needing such help.
@@PhilipKaskela we´ve had volunteer people teaching how toilets work, how microwaves work, that you should not flood the floor with water when cleaning, to refugees from Africa. but I think sanitation and knowledge of sanitation would be presumed to know in anywhere in Europe and near Europe. - finland
but yeah it was the shock of this man carrying poop with him, likely. its not like its in any culture to carry shit with you.
"And then I fell asleep, because I had too much rum." This is the relatable 2020 experience we subscribe for.
"The lady then takes him upstairs, and is like OK the poop goes in the toilet... and the mere fact that someone feels they have to explain that to a grown adult to someone from a foreign country shows their opinion of people from a foreign country that they are so unsophisticated that they can't even wipe their own butt"
Seems a little harsh on the lady. A foreign man returns to her dinner table with a fresh bag of shit and asks her what to do with it. You see the initial look of disbelief on her face, but then for the sake of her guest, collects herself, decides this is real, decides not to make a big deal out of it, and then graciously takes her guest upstairs and shows him how to use the toilet. I imagine not many people would have reacted with such class. Hats off to her imo. By the way, in Europe signs have been put up showing people how to use toilets. Because some foreign people didn't know what to do with them. They were standing on the toilets. They were shitting in the showers. They were putting shitty paper in the bins instead of the toilets. So maybe the lady isn't an ignorant person who deserves to be sneered at.
We have problems in Texas with Mexicans putting used toilet paper in the trash. Conversely, Mexico has trouble with Americans constantly clogging their toilets by trying to flush toilet paper.
Bruh in what part of europe?
That's what I was thinking. I probably would have made the same assumption that Borat had no idea what a toilet was.
Wait....isnt he the one that came down with the shit in the bag and then she explained to him how the toilet works. Wow way to rant about that didnt actually happen the way you say. Maybe you have some of those judgemental values that you project on others i feel.
I think the point he's making is that it is so absurd that she shouldn't believe Borat's ignorance. And the only reason she does is because she can believe that in some places abroad that they don't understand how to wipe their own butt.
for half in the bag connosieurs. this intro was even more tense than that whole mr plinkett marriage fraud.
Rich Evans's off screen outbursts of maniacal laughter are now the most entertaining thing about RLM videos.
It's actually a Bulgarian actress that plays Borat's daughter, ties in nicely with that Bulgarian circus from the start of the show :D
I’m surprised they didn’t mention “The Innocents”. By far, the best adaptation of “The Turn of the Screw”
Exactly! I was wondering the same thing. The Innocents is easily one of the best horror films out there in my opinion. And when it comes to turn of the screw adaptations, it’s on another level!
I know! Shame on them! A very creepy movie that still holds up today and Deborah Kerr is
Yeah I was disappointed by that. Truly they are hack frauds
Exactly! Some of the scares in Bly Manor were actually taken directly from The Innocents, and there were a bunch of other references too.
Quite right! I also searched for this comment in comment with these 5 other people
I zoned out for like 8 seconds and am completely lost when I come back to Mike rambling for 5 minutes about Hitler being crushed by an elephant...
"That reminds me of this episode of Star Trek!"
*Looks at camera*
In Bly Manor, the guy playing the local cop who visits to investigate sightings of the missing P.A. gave a performance that was so affected, wooden and out of kilter with the rest of the show that he seemed to have wandered in from the Borat movie.
That policeman was the absolute worst thing in the show.
I’m English and his accent was like nails down a chalkboard to me.
Absolutely awful.
@@marks6928 ehh, wasn’t that bad
@@bryannepeguero4953 maybe you’re not from there area where it’s supposed to be set, whereas I am, so it sounds worse to me? I thought it was caricaturish and awful.
Mike knowing alot about the titanic, ghost adventures and star trek just makes my day.
If Mike can't relate a Star Trek episode to a film they are talking about he just invents one on the spot.
@@JallenMeodia Remember in Season 4 of TNG when Spock's force ghost fell through a time rift and landed in Troy's body and they went back in time to help Rasputin deliver the soul of a child from the 20th century back to its human body in time for the big game? The episode was called Rising Time and there was a scene in this shitty movie we're talking about that's very similar to Rising Time where Froshmup Diddlingkids (played by Christopher Lee) always wants to go fast, but has to learn that sometimes slowing down makes you faster, because Jordie taught him that with a metaphor.
Borat was a wholly different era. Nowadays we are inundated with performance after performance trying to be more zany, ridiculous, and offensive as the last, that Borat as a character no longer feels like anything special. Mike Pence just staring at Cohen at the convention perfectly encapsulates this; it’s literally the far more out there reality of the modern era scoffing at the limp attempts of outdated outrage comedy.
On top of that, the character’s anonymity prior to the release of Borat 1 allowed Cohen to get more genuine and unscripted reactions from people he interacted with.
Just before the RUclips “it’s a prank bro!” Era
Pence's reaction was expected, he's a politician and they're trained in a sense to keep their cool in public/TV just like that Trump clip with Ali G and understand where you're coming from that Sasha had to be more grounded because of expectations
@@DaArcaneNinja several people who attended that speech confirmed there was no Borat in sight (even dressed as a Drumpf). Soooo, the sequence is spliced AF. Crowd and Security officers on Sasha were most likely paid actors.
@@SuperFlawless2010 Trump is still your President. Trump 2020 🇺🇸
Halfway through the "Tent" pitch, I forgot what Mike was talking about and was just enjoying the yarn
Nice! Perfect start to my day
Dont you mean ....VERY NICE start to your day? Il see myself out.
A RLM hits the spot in the morning just as much as a cup of Maxwell House Coffee. Both are good till the last drop.
I liked how the “tucked away” mechanic in _Bly Manor_ was used as a way to deliver flashbacks or present the story non-linearly. The uncle’s episode is both a series of flashbacks and, in a very subtle way, a flashfoward since the whole episode is concurrent with the final episode where he is briefly dead. Very clever. It’s a show that rewards people who pay attention without making the setups and payoffs too obvious.
6 minutes in and they haven’t even mentioned either movie and they keep making Star Trek references. God I love this show
Mike is literally my favorite human being in the history of ever. We must save him from ceramic mug chips at all costs.
I read that in the Borat voice. :)
