Hard to believe this movie was still fantastic 25 years later! I hate roaches. HATE THEM.

The "Elvis just went home" joke is saying that Elvis was a alien, and he left to go to his home planet.
Omg thank you for clarifying that. I bet it would have mystified scholars for the next ten thousand years had it not been for your intrepid wisdom!
@@stevewoolhiser7249 This person explained it because Alex seemed confused by the line. There's really no need to be nasty about it.
@@stevewoolhiser7249 thank you for being such a condescending idiot!
@@JessieNebulousGaming Yeah. Some people, man...
@@stevewoolhiser7249Actually, I never understood that line until now either, and I had just assumed he was saying he was in heaven or something.
One of the best most relatable lines..."A person is smart. People are dumb, dangerous, panicky animals and you know it". So so true
A forecast of MAGAs .....
100%
Nah, just people being people.
You don't need political to be a moron. Whether you aim left, right or center, there's bound to be assholes who act like a herd and think like a jackass.
Humans, I tell ya.

I honestly think J’s justification for shooting the little girl should have been enough to earn him a spot in MIB. He didn’t shoot the “big scary aliens”, and instead shot the girl who was calmly walking through a terrifying alley at night with physics books. As an MIB agent, he’d have to make split second decisions, while also not judging aliens by their scary appearance. And then there’s the fact that many aliens can blend right in as humans.
I think that was the entire point of the test, and why its the last of their tests. J absolutely nailed it. All it took for the fancy soldiers to shoot was some scary looking monsters and blinking light, and they immediately started shooting to kill, except J. he kept calm and assessed the situation, and acting accordingly. It would be a huge pain for MIB if their agents kept getting spooked and shooting innocent refugees.. probably the best part about the whole movie.
The MIB ride at Universal is an laser dot gun shooter game. This is exactly why the first time I rode it I was confused why we were supposed to be shooting all aliens. I didn’t want to shoot any aliens that seemed to be minding their own business doing normal stuff. Lol.
Myself and I hope others agree, do the trilogy! You can leave out the newest one if you want. It wasnt the worst movie I ever seen but it wasnt anything I needed to watch twice.
There also was an animated series.
There’s a new MIB movie?
@@toddschneider847 international I think-with Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson
@@toddschneider847 After the first movie, Warner Brothers put out an animated series on TV, then came the rest of the trilogy, followed by Men in Black International.
I’ll definitely throw it on Patreon
OK so here's the full version of the joke Kay was telling in the restaurant: a man and a woman decided to take in a movie one night, and it just so happens that on that same night a farmer has decided to sneak in one of his roosters from his farm. After getting their snacks the couple head into the darkened auditorium, which is nearly full. there are only two seats left, and they happen to be next to the farmer and the rooster which he has concealed in his pants. Midway through the movie the rooster pokes his head out of the farmer's zipper and begins to peck and eat the woman's popcorn, she notices and nudges her husband; "Honey, look what this guy's cock is doing!" Her husband replies; "Ah, don't pay it no mind, if you've seen one you've seen 'em all!" So she looks over at her husband and says; " Yeah, but Honey this one's eating my popcorn!'
A 20 year old mystery solved. Thank you!
Not all heroes wear capes man! Lol thx 🙏🏽 bc I never knew the rest either 😂
I never heard that joke before lmao
How did you know that?!
Is it possible to acquire this knowledge?
The Male Morgue attendant is David Cross. He also shows up as a new character in MiB II, Newton, a video store owner. Cross loves tiny little cameo roles in tons of stuff.
his body of work is huge, but i’d say he’s most well-known for playing tobias fünke on arrested development. and yes, he was in scary movie 2 🙂
Ronnie Dobbs!!!!
Ian in the Alvin and the Chipmunk movies too (my kids went through a phase of watching them often)
Gizmo from Small Soldiers XD
who says he's a "new" character.. Maybe his memory was erased and he ended up in a video store.. ;)
The guy who gets taken over by the alien and loves cockroaches is Vincent Donofrio. He also starred in "Full Metal Jacket" and was in "Adventures in Babysitting" and he was on the show "Daredevil". The man is such a great "chameleon actor".
Great in multiseason TV show Law & Order: Criminal Intent
Loved him in the magnificent 7
He’s brilliant in this
ho ly shit
I still held will smith in high regards due to his past career, he made a big portion of my childhood
I was a huge fresh prince fan
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault I used to Dream he got Fresh with me!
Honestly the CG is dated but it still holds up well. I love this movie so much. It's iconic and brings back some good childhood memories
…..I…..I have a pug named Frank. We hadn’t seen these movies in so long and didn’t realize that we had done that until someone pointed it out. So thank you to MIB for silently influencing us like 20 years later 😂
To answer the monster goop question. It’s usually a glycerin mixture. Or some sort of slime that’s thinned with water to get the right consistency.
That is awesome!!
I named my cat Orion after the kitty with the galaxy on his collar.
Back in the day this movie had the best of the best special effects
And a great soundtrack 👌
🔥🔥🔥
I still like to think it still ia
@@breaderbrawler7894 They really do hold up. That's what's great about practical effects, the puppetry work in the MiB series was awesome.
They hold up rather well even today, more than two decades today after the fact.
Quality, I tell ya.
I remember being confused about the genre of this movie after it first came out. And then a friend told me to think of it the way I did the first ghostbusters movie. That clicked it all into place for me.
Action comedy sci fi right?
That's easy .... Sci-Fi Comedy!
There’s a Horror element to it in there also. The jump scares. The monsters/alien/ghosts attacks. Something like Cabin in the Woods, but more family friendly.
It's Sci-Fi and Comedy... fucking obviously????
This was such a surprising movie when it came out. Funny, quirky, a little scary. Great FX.
Vincent D'Onofrio is an underrated actor. Edger is one of his many good roles. I'd check out more of his films.
That's Egger ....
@@jamesalexander5623 misspell my mistakes.
@@justingarrett1675 ha ha ha
12:42 Tall Guy is played by Carel Struycken, who previously won hearts playing both Mr. Homm on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and Lurch in "The Addams Family" films (also by the Sonnenfeld brothers).
I remember seeing this in theaters when I was 16. It was a huge deal when it was coming out and my mom had won advanced screening tickets from the radio so we were able to see it the week before it released. Such a fun memory.
Glad that memory could resurface!
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault thanks to you sir appreciate it greatly and your videos!
I was born in 1997 so I probably didn't see it in theaters, unless I was old enough to go to movies without going nuts, but probably not. Maybe I was at one of the sequels though, I do remember watching all 3 Men In Blacks countless times as a kid though.
@@Werewolf914 I got out of foster care in `97. That was also the golden age of Cartoon Network!
@@AspieMediaBobby hope you’re having a wonderful life nowadays!
This is Marvel movie in name only. The publisher that owned the Men in Black comic was bought by Marvel Comics in the mid-90’s.
"It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all" was originally part of an elegy. In context, when that loss is death, it makes a lot of sense. My husband will die someday. If it happens before I go, I know I'll be in a lot of pain, and grief that I can't even really comprehend until/unless it happens. But I am 100% certain that I wouldn't give up my time with him for anything, no matter how much it hurts. It's the same for the love I feel for my family, and my closest friends. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
In this situation, I agree with it. Nobody died every time I fell in love and had to learn firsthand how selfish, narcissistic, and sociopathic everyone is these days. No thanks. I'd rather be an unfeeling, uncaring asshole like everyone else than to have "loved and lost."
This movie was my childhood. I have seen it SO many times. It was truly ahead of it's time! Enjoy!
definitely held up!
Now that you have done the first MIB it makes sense to do the sequels. MIB is just good fun. It is meant to be strange. It is a Sci Fi comedy. Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest are other good Sci Fi comedies.
Great suggestions!
Oh my gosh! I’m so glad someone else knows about Galaxy Quest! I was explaining the movie to my coworkers the other day and none of them believed me that it was a real movie 😭
Galaxy quest is a G.O.A.T movie! From my child hood as is spaceballs, to the point I became confused between SW and SPaceballs lol!
Yea just go ahead and skip the 4th one.. "Persons in black international" only movie that scored below 30 on rotten, infact to hammer down the fact, it scored 23.. real stinker
I also recommend Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I still love this movie. I just wish I still had my signed MiB comics (they got lost in a move).
We were so psyched when Lowell, who lived and probably still lives in my hometown, told us that his comics had been optioned by Hollywood. 😀 He was always so just quiet and cool and still is. When MiB came out the local paper interviewed him and he just referred to himself as a local geek who got lucky and made good. 😀 I would still see him around town when I would go back, usually browsing around the used book store, wearing one of his many cool bowling shirts. We'd stop and chat for a while and he's just so chill. And nobody pays him a lick of attention cos he just looks like your average aging nerd, which is how he likes it. 😀
Take the time to watch Casablanca, considered to be one of the great romantic movies. It was shot in the 40's so yes, it is black and white. The dialogue may seem a little stilted, but the story is unbeatable.
"The dialogue may seem a little stilted", mate, Casablanca has one of the best writing ever, with brilliant dialogue.
@@celinhabr1 Don't misunderstand, I love the dialogue, but it is definitely dated. Today it would seem very formal. I wouldn't change it for anything, it is perfect for the movie.
the point of the test with short pencils and no place to write was to see who would utilize the table first
Absolutely please do continue all of this, you're one of my favorite reactors of all time
Loved it! First is O.G! The third is my favourite. I quote a line from that movie alll the time ahha!
Keep up the great work 🤩
It'd be funny if you released this on marvel Monday after realizing it's based on a marvel comic. Love your reactions man, keep em up. Cool to know you're only a year older than me.
Right?!
"Elvis is not dead. He just went home." Kay was saying that Elvis was an alien, too.
Small bit of trivia, the slugs hanging out around the coffee pot are all speaking the same language as Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars Return of the Jedi.
This film is loosely based on an Aircel comic book that later became Malibu Comics which was later bought by MARVEL Comics .It started as a horror anthology black-and-white comic book similar to "The Twilight Zone" and "Outer Limits",with the introduction of the Comics Code Authority it became more of a mainstream sci-fi,comedic title like the film adaptation.The animated series on Kids WB balanced the universe,characters and comedy relief of the film with the dark,conspiratorial tone of the original comics.
Right on! I came here to say exactly this. While 'Men in Black' is technically a MARVEL property by acquisition it's not a "Marvel Comics" comic book.
Saw this in theaters back in 1997, I was 13. It’s still awesome! 🔥
i always chuckle at the part when they are in the HQ and he states while holding a mini disk "these will replace CD soon" bit as the mini disk did indeed come out very shortly after the film but flopped big time along with the Zip Drive XD
🤣🤣🤣
The amount of “dick speak” in this reaction was alarming lol
I saw this one in theaters. Back in the 90s I was a BIG Will Smith fan. He was just a funny guy. Fresh Prince, Independence Day, Men in Black. Plus he did some great dramatic stuff like "Enemy of the State" with Gene Hackman. It all came to a head with 1999s Wild Wild West, and his career was never quite the same after that.
"Here Comes The Men in Black" is such a great toon.
I wouldn't say the film is a parody as such. It's not really making fun of anything. It's more of a whimsical comedic film taking certain pop culture things and playing with them. IE, the men in black, alien abductions/conspiracies and combining them with Will Smith's sense of humor. I think the two leads do a great job and have some fantastic moments. They tried to replicate this idea with Wild Wild West... Which is one of those movies I want to love more than I do.
I'm not too keen on the sequels. Men in Black 2, from 2002, it just feels.... Like it suffers from America's post 9/11 depression. It wants to be a 90s movie so bad, but everything feels stilted, awkward, and rushed to me. Men in Black 3 is a bit of a return to form, but that's ten years later. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Johns look especially aged. I don't know. I think Men in Black was a one and done film for me. The first one is still pretty damn great. The animated TV series was also pretty awesome, too.
I'd love to see you suffer through WIld Wild West. Just as a companion piece to compare with the original Men in Black and how a "mixed genre comedy" can go horribly, horribly, wrong.
The goo used for the bug's death is KY jelly. Same stuff used for the Xenomorph in Alien. It is the go-to in Hollywood for generic alien slime, because you can get a lot of it for cheap, and it's not irritating to the skin.
Another great reaction. I loved MIB 1 and 2 growing up, lots of memories watching them with my Dad before he passed. Damn this was a nostalgia kick!
We actually watched this in school. My teacher had watched it at the movies, thought it was brilliant. Brought it to school when it came out in VHS for us to watch. Excuse was it was relevant to immigration and so on. Awesome teacher.
Dude CASABLANCA is cinematic gold!! As a movie buff it’s one you gotta see at least once
If you have not seen "Casablanca" you don't qualify as a Sentient Human Being!
People don’t talk about how funny it is.
The reason J spits out the lemonade is because she doesn't have any sugar left.
"tiny little gun packs a big punch, I'm used to that sort of thing" 🤣thumbs up, you crack me up, what a fun reaction. Please do the sequels! (and cats make awesome pets/streaming companions)
You’re awesome!!
This was originally a Malibu Comics title, but Marvel bought Malibu. The original was much darker than the movie and MiB was a more malevolent organization. Later comics were based or inspired by the movies and the cartoon that was based on them, rather than Lowell Cunningham's original comics and were much more lighthearted and comedic.
Vincent D’Onofrio played the bug alien character. You may no him from Full Metal Jacket as Leonard or more recent as King Pin in Daredevil among a million other roles.
The first few times I watched MiB, I didn't have a real concept of what movie production and "acting" actually entailed. I just didn't question for one second that this was an alien wearing the rotting skin of a human. I can now see that "D'nofrio" absolutely KILLED this insanely difficult role. The voice, the way he sells it with the awkward, jerky mannerisms. I just looked it up and no one got an Oscar, but the film did win Best Makeup and I guess that's fair.
Also Jurassic world and Hawkeye
I don't think you've seen it yet. And this is weird But if you enjoy marvel stuff just stop the movies for now and watch all 3 seasons of daredevil and the punisher. And season one of Jessica Jones. It's better than every single movie I promise you
My pug's full name is Sir Buford Frank Dunn (aka The Boof). He's named after that one kid in Phineas And Ferb, and then the pug from this movie.
“That guy is tall”
Was also on pilot episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun.
Dennis Rodman also made an appearance on 3rd Rock 😂
Please watch the other two, they're really good. Also people say it's not great, but another Will Smith movie I love is Wild Wild West, it's so cheesy and stupid but I love it
Love will smith!
@14:54 Was the lemonade gag where they took her offer for lemonade but Edgar got all the sugar earlier on so that's pretty much just straight lemon juice and a bit of water.
The amount of times I have said to my kids, “You don’t start nothin’, there won’t be nothin’!”
"You do know Elvis is dead, right?"
"No Elvis is not dead, he just went home."
Your look of confusion. . .just adds to the scene. 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was 10 when this movie came out. It's the first movie that I saw in the cinema that wasn't a 'kids' movie. It was awesome then and it still holds up now. Love it.
Every time I see the twin towers in a movie made before September 11th 2001 it always gets me in the heart.. I can remember what I was doing that exact minute I was working for a moving company and we were moving this lady stuff and she comes running out the house screaming the towers are hit the towers are hit and we were all like what's going on and we went in there and watched it and seen the second plane hit live and ever since then it's just crazy to see them in pictures and movies
Crazy right?
Always enjoy your reactions bro
My brothers did the dance to the MIB song in the movies at the end lol great reaction!
Classic 🙌🏻
I watch this every time I come across it. The trilogy is a must!
the mib trilogy is one of my faves that gets better and better, hope you'd react to those in the future too!!!
One thing that makes me think is the guy who pays the farmer/alien bug thing is Vincent denofrio who plays Kingpin in Daredevil, Hawkeye and now Echo
keep the awesome reactions coming!!!!!!
Please do men in black 2!!! Love your content man. I’ve been binge watching so many movies on this channel 😂 great energy and so funny
God this movie brings back memories.
BUT I AM SO EXCITED FOR MONDAY'S REACTION LET'S GOOOOOOO
100% better to know the pain of losing a true love. Than to live a life never knowing how incredible love can be. It's worth the pain.
Would have thought so, until it happened to me. As K pointedly said… try it. Two years later the loss is a knife in my chest. Every. Single. Day. YMMV
@@LostButMakingGoodTime It is friend. Doesn't feel like it now. It will. Keep on trucking. It gets better.
@@LordMesa Thanks for that. Sincerely.
Your lil dance at the end is golden 😂😂❤️
Tim Russ will ALWAYS be famous for saying "We ain't found sh!t."
Siobhan Fallon will ALWAYS be famous for saying "Edgar suit."
The men in black movies have been aired on so many times so I'm surprised you haven't seen the movies. You may have past it or seen it on the TV guide sometimes though. Great reaction! I'm glad you're channel was in my recommendations
I got to see this in a drive in theater with my family as a kid. Me and my sister got to lay on top of my mom's station wagon with pillows and blankets. Also got to see Flubber that way
The reason J spits out the drink is because the bug ate all the sugar. He was given straight lemon juice. The amount of time that joke takes to marinate is so good and it just passes by if you aren't paying attention.
Makes WAY more sense! Thank you!
Fun fact: In Men In Black, the Edgar suit decomposes as the movie goes on.
So proud in yourself for guessing the cats name. Here 🍪❣JK Love the Movie Reviews.
“Like some kinda Edgar suit??” MY FAV LINE 😂
Mine too
when he said madagascar hissing roach i was like "huh, ive never heard of that before" as he said "goddamn roach expert" lmao
🤣🤣🤣
Man, glad you have gotten better at this.
Man, I saw you had reacted to this, and loved the reaction to it, since it was a great film, but how you only gonna watch the first one ahah, gotta catch up! All but the newest one really good!
When you asked "what are those things?" --- They were platforms / revolving restaurants for the 1964 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows, Queens... Still there today, but closed / off limits to the public. The big globe or "Unisphere" is still there too.
Your reactions have been awesome 👌. Keep it up.
Thank you so much!
The fact that you didn’t recognize the tall guy in this film, makes me think you have never watched “The Adams Family” movie, he plays Lurch. So in that case, please watch for Halloween! 🙏🏻🎃
Omgosh super cool 😎 that you’re reacting to this.
I hope you do all three, the 3rd one is actually my favorite! Lol
Because of his physique he plays a lot of aliens and monsters. One of his most well known roles is that of Trois Mother's servant on the Next Generation
@@Xonslaught1 oh wow I’ve never heard of that movie. I’m gonna have to check it out, thanks!
@@elizabitty213 tv show Star Trek
@@Xonslaught1 oh I’ve seen Star Trek but it’s been years. 🤔 I don’t remember him being in it, I’m gonna have to rewatch lol
Saw it in the theaters on release day with 5 of my friends. Awesome memories!
New to the channel. Your reactions make me laugh. Love it
blew my mind that MiB was Marvel, but it's just owned by them.
"originally published by Aircel Comics. Aircel would later be bought out by Malibu Comics, which itself was bought out by Marvel Comics."
personally I think this matters cause Stan Lee probably didn't have any influence on it's creation.
"Lenny from Mice and Men"
😂😂 That is a great description
My childhood movie, definitely watch the rest of them, they're so good!
Mono And Diglycerides, Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum, and Carrageenan make up many different types of slime in Hollywood movies. Especially if the slime has to go on an actor's face or in their mouths. Oddly, this slime formula is also what McDonald's "milk" shakes are made of.
They're all great, the last one makes me cry lol.
MIB 2 is good, but the one that legitimately blew me (and my family) away was actually MIB International. Like, my wife and I saw MIB back in the day (heck, I even watched the cartoon they did for MIB!), and we were curious to see how it went, but we did not expect to enjoy it as absolutely much as we did. But, heck, it's Thor and Valkyrie in the MIB (like, no joke, same actors). It was really amazing, and I really hope you get to see it and react to it!
You were three when this came out, I was watching it in the on-base theater while I was deployed to Turkey.
The bug dude was played by Vincent D'Onofrio, who was also Kingpin in the Daredevil & Hawkeye shows, Thor in Adventures In Babysitting, Satan in The Cell and Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket.
LoL I was watching this last night before going to bed and simply paused the video so I could continue today, and what do I see when I open YT again this morning?
RUclips Premiere 13 hours ago, 1 person watching 😂
Edgar is played by Vincent D'Onofrio.
He also plays the Kingpin in Netflix Daredevil and Gomer Pile in Full Metal Jacket among other things.
Very underrated actor.
Will Smith spits out the Lemonde Beatrix gives him because it's just lemon juice. She didn't have any sugar because she gave it all to "Edgar". It's a cool little detail to put in the film.
The second one really cracks me up. The third one Josh Brolin nails Tommy Lee Jones. ❤❤❤
was 13 when this came out. used to watch it all the time at the cottage on the tube TV and VCR.
"N-Y-P-D means I will KNock Your Punk-a** Down!" Cracks me up every single time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Roaches don't centralize their nervous systems like we do, in a head & spinal cord. They can operate even with their heads removed or destroyed, until they starve due to lack of eating apparatus.
So crazy!
I'm sure you've been asked but have you watched either of the deadpool movies? Those two movies are an absolute must for you to react too.
I love that the woman from the beginning was told to get some nice dresses and get a family. In the next movie she comes back with husband and kids.
90's movies are legit the best movies. Before pure CGI when writing/acting made the movies good and production was just peaking with practical effects. Independence Day and Jurassic Park are maybe the best and most complete films of the pre-modern era if you include the 90's as not modern (im a 90's kid) - The majority of Films after 2010 are actual garbage in comparison to 90's flicks/blockbusters.
90s babies! The last REAL generation.
Everything will only get more dystopia from here
For real! Born in 87, we had the best movies.
You can't not include the masterpiece that is Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
Facts 4 of my Top 5 favorite movies are from the 90s that being The Crow (1994) Scream (1996) Jacobs Ladder (1990) and Candyman (1992) I may have been born in 97 but I still grew up watching a lot of stuff from the 90s and it's full of the best movies ever
Getting that prime hydration! I see you dawg
The "goop" they use for the slime effect is methylcellulose, and it's the same stuff they use to increase the liquid density of thick shakes and gravy, among other foods.
There is whole galaxy in there, but we're not part of that particular marble.
"Meat Sack", not suck.
For about 24:43: Ah, see, you'll catch it next time around, but they did explain: Those towers are the remains of the NY Pavilion, in Queens, from the Worlds Fair in 1964 (I was there!). In the movie, the towers are supporting space ships, and that's why J shouts out: "Hey. Old guys. Do these things still work?" You don't have to be familiar with New York to appreciate this movie, but it helps. That's Shea Stadium that you see a little later on, extremely close to the Worlds Fair site.
dude i laugh more at your videos that at any standup ive been to xD
I loved this movie when I was 15. It was the coolest film I'd ever seen. If you like sci fi stuff, you have to check out the Torchwood series. It's a Doctor Who spin off and it's got some terrific storytelling...and raunch.
Great, as we have come to expect.
Appreciate that you voice all the thoughts of the 13 year-old boys that we remain...well into our 50's...at least😉
"A person is smart.
People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."
Words to live by; as recent and current events make very clear.
That's one of the best quotes of all time, and completely true.
Part 2 would be great!!
U totally have to watch the sequels now. The 3rd one might be my favorite, because of the story/the way it all wraps up.
This movie was a HUGE hit in the theaters back then... Will Smith was at the beginning of his meteoric hollywood career, charismatic as hell, his theme song fot this movie was playing everywhere, Tommy Lee Ones, Vincent D´Onofrio, Linda Fiorentino, Barry Sonnenfeld(the diretor of Addams Family and Addams Family Values), Danny Elfman, nice VFX, fantastic makeup, original script... I miss movies this good, this funny, being outrageous, innovative, a little bit silly and carried away by three fantastic actors in top form.
