That man got me fired from a security job at a poly clinic... I had no idea it wasn't actually pronounced diabeetus until I delivered some mail to the clinic there was a room full of obese women who did not like the pronunciation 😂
I got censured by Facebook for quoting that. lol They thought (even though I put it in quotes and spelled it like you did) I was making threatening remarks.
@octagonseventynine1253 Yup. Kills me they never did for Escape From LA, even when Shout put out a new edition a few years back. They spend a big portion of the Big Trouble commentary talking about their sons' Little League games.
You can just tell that Kurt and John are good friends, and respect each other immensely. This is one of the best commentary tracks ever. Making a film with Kurt and John would be such a great time.
1:24 You can hear Kurt pouring what probably is the real source of the laughters. I think that's actually common because I listened to a lot of movie commentaries and one thing that strikes me is that everybody who does it seems extremely laid back so I think they have some beer or wine or maybe even champagne when they do this. On a side note in my opinion the best commentary is from Sylvester Stallone in Rocky because it made me realize how smart and profound that man truly was and how he integrated many aspects of his life in the movie it makes the movie so wholesome.
@@shigermuleye5203 Just in case you wanna know: I got it with the Rocky 40th Anniversary Collection. It comes with Rocky I up to Rocky Balboa ( six films ) The sequels included didn't have much content however. But it was worth it just for the content in the first film.
Robert Rodriquez always seems very prepared for his commentary tracks, he always writes down notes in beforehand and there is never a moment of silence from him. Which cannot be said about every person who does solo commentary tracks.
I find that I laugh a lot during this movie. I don't consider it a comedy, but once you've seen something so many times you laugh out of happiness at scenes. It just brings you joy to relive how great it is. Some of it is pretty damn funny though.. lol
That's how every movie is. That's why they all get turned into drinking games. You're anticipating the moment you've seen a thousand times and you know all the mistakes and goofs. Love watching old movies with friends because someone is always making a wisecrack or inserting funny dialog to take a moment out of context.
Nauls's introductory scene kills me every single time (roller skating into the room during an autopsy and theorizing "maybe we at war with Norway" with a slight head swivel) and I've never been able to parse if it's intentional comedy or not
Thank you for understanding that The Thing is cosmic horror. I don't think any other film ever came close to representing the genre so well. But maybe I'm overlooking something.
February of 1983 was an ice cold day in Oklahoma City. We had just got back from our traditional Sunday meal at the Hunan Chinese restaurant and settled on the sofa and came across "The Thing" just starting on cable. Nobody had seen it, but everyone LOVED Kurt Russell so we got comfy. It was a wonderfully unique movie experience for all of us, truly special.
I saw this movie when I was like 5 or 6. I as cool with everything I had seen in the movie, up until that dude's head fell off...that really fucked my shit up...but everything after that was cool too. 😂
Whenever I say the name Kurt Russell, it's always immediately followed by "the greatest actor of this, or any, generation." I'll watch just about anything he's in because he's just that good.
One of my favorite comments from Carpenter during this commentary is where Snake is kind of lost, wondering what to do next and he just sits down in a chair and thinks for a minute. Carpenter said that they just made that up in the moment and just simply says, "That's filmmaking guys." No pretensions or bullshit. Just make it work and have fun.
@@TheDisturbedKiwi Yes he was, MacReady was a pilot in 'Nam, then when he got out went to be a trucker going by the alias Jack Burton. After the events in California he decided to go back to flying joining up with Hughes and then when they got bought out by GM he went to work for the government in the Antarctic. After what happened at Outpost 31 MacReady was mustered into service by the government to do specops to avoid the public finding out about the more weird stuff in the world, at that time he acquired the codename Snake which is what he was called in Escape From New York
My favorite thing from the commentary was after the first explosion where Kurt mentions his reaction shot was "2 days later" and he laughs really hard. But I think the best part is when Kurt picks up a flashlight at 0:54 and Carpenter says "we don't know why you find that flashlight" like eternally just picking apart the movie even though it's a masterpiece.
I forgot how infectious Kurt's laugh is. While they're laughing off at this magnificent, terrifying project, us fans were shitting our pants at the absurdity.
Love the director and leading actor of one of the best horror films of all time reacting to their own movie like 2 stoned college students watching a campy horror B movie.
Kurt laughing his ass off is so hilarious!! His the best one of my favourite actors growing up!! His movies where always fun. Something missing in too many films today!!
The Thing is one of my All-Time Favorite and in my Opinion is one of the Best Horror Movie 🤘😎 I really love how much Fun John Carpenter and Kurt Russell had with this Movie ❤👍
I've been a Kurt fan my entire life since I first saw him 'Follow Me Boys' and 'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes' back in the 1960s. He just seems to be good no matter what he appears in. It would be a treat to hear this entire reaction.
If you listen to the whole thing they’re definitely drinking some sort of booze out of crystal glasses. You can also hear smokes being lit. (They both like to smoke)
If you ever smoked bong for a period of time you know that was 100% a bong being smoked hahaha. This is glorious, I just watched it high in 4k and now on YT to further indulge. Awesome the creators also get high when watching it :)
0:54 “I don’t know why you find that flashlight” I’m now going to notice this scene forever. Why did he??? Like it’s not the most critical thing, but it was just kinda out in the snow on a box and he found it? So strange and now, hilarious
Kurt reminds me of a character called Mike from this one episode in bbc comedy series 'I'm Alan partridge ' who just constantly laughs anytime someone says something '
John: “ Wilfred brimley “
Kurt: “ hahahahahahaha “
dai-yebeetus
"A long way from those oatmeal commercials here, innit he?"
That man got me fired from a security job at a poly clinic... I had no idea it wasn't actually pronounced diabeetus until I delivered some mail to the clinic there was a room full of obese women who did not like the pronunciation 😂
I love that the mere presence of Wilford Brimley is enough to send Kurt Russell into laughter.
diabeetus
this has made my day
Drink but don't spill. It kills Degrass 😂
Its like Buscemi for Ferrara in the commentary of King of NW
OAtmEaL
'Ray's in rehab now, isn't he?' 😆
Hahahahaha🤣🤣
“That hat kind of commands the scene. It’s a scene about a hat.”
I want a hat like Mac’s.
probably my fav line lmfaooo. laundry ones a close second
"This is a scene about a hat" my dad and I LOVED watching the movie with this commentary
He even mentioned it recently with GQ. lmao.
You just know kurt russell is a laugh and awesome to work with .
@S4MM-E he really is just a fantastic human being & one of my all time favourite actors.
“I’ll kill yeww!” is the funniest line in the movie
I got censured by Facebook for quoting that. lol They thought (even though I put it in quotes and spelled it like you did) I was making threatening remarks.
“Hey Blair! You down there? We got something for ya!”
“The generator’s gone.”
“Can we fix it?”
“It’s _GONE_ MacReady!”
Kurt Russell laughing at Willford Brimley's "I'll KEEEEL YEWWWW!" is the confirmation on the hilarity of that delivery I needed.
1:35 "WOAH-HHH!" sent my sides into orbit 😂😂😂😂
I am doubled over hahahaha 😂
I would watch an entire series of Carpenter and Russell giving commentary on any movie. Regardless if they were in it or not 😅🤣
Rifftrax-esque
All their commentaries are like this
They did escape from New York too and Big Trouble In Little China that I know of
@octagonseventynine1253 Yup. Kills me they never did for Escape From LA, even when Shout put out a new edition a few years back. They spend a big portion of the Big Trouble commentary talking about their sons' Little League games.
@ericjohnson9623 Lmao, that's kinda wholesome tho
Kurt Russel laughing at everything is something we can all learn from 😂 What a great outlook on life!
Well, two more laughs per min and people see you as "crazy".
I can't believe some people like this actually exist 😮
I think it's weed.
lol, I agree with Anthony, this dude is clearly on **something**. I don't know if it's weed, but he's clearly buzzed.
Great guy.
* an alien fuses with someone's face and drags him by it *
Kurt Russel: * laughs hysterically *
“im all better now and i wanna come back inside.”
“HAHAHAHA”
I need a full commentary of Russell laughing his ass off XD

Staying in character. Classy, Kurt.
@@TheFlamingPikeYeah. You can tell he just made the sequels for the money, and good for him, but that first one was something truly special.
listen to Hunter Thompson's commentary on Fear and Loathing
I find that I laugh a lot during this movie. I don't consider it a comedy, but once you've seen something so many times you laugh out of happiness at scenes. It just brings you joy to relive how great it is. Some of it is pretty damn funny though.. lol
After watching 'the shining ' many times I find the movie just has me laughing throughout now

American Psycho
I just imagine Kurt Russell at the premiere in the front row watching the movie like he's Robert DeNiro in Cape Fear.
The Thing : one of the most terrifiying cosmic horror film
Kurt Russell watching its absurd and disturbing body horror spectacle : AHAHAHAH !!
When you've made it and know it's all fake, you probably aren't affected by it.
Look at that hahahahaa
It’s a great movie, but I never really found it to be all that scary.
Thank you for understanding that The Thing is cosmic horror. I don't think any other film ever came close to representing the genre so well. But maybe I'm overlooking something.
@@raul_jocson_ Event Horizon and In The Mouth of Madness, coincidentally Sam Neill is in both
1:04 I'm glad he found Brimley's line delivery as funny as I did, honestly.

i read this as "traditional Sunday meal at Human Chinese restaurant" and did a triple take
Thank you for sharing. Sounds like it was a wonderful evening!
We need to appreciate Kurt Russell and John Carpenter a lot more, they have been putting some joy into the world for five decades now
Whenever I say the name Kurt Russell, it's always immediately followed by "the greatest actor of this, or any, generation." I'll watch just about anything he's in because he's just that good.
Kurt russell is my goat actor hands down. One of the most consistent and greatest to ever do it.
I would give anything to just have a beer with Kurt and talk about film and his career.
I love how almost all of this is a compilation of kurt russell laughing
Must've been really drunk lol
The man is living the life lol
[Disturbing shot of Bennings being absorbed by the Thing]
Kurt Russell: "Look at this... Hehehehahaha!!!"
Kurt Russell always seemed like a wholesome guy
I can only imagine how fun it is to watch horror movies with Kurt Russell howling with laughter while everyone else is screaming
I mean once you've seen The Thing half a dozen times the scare wears off and it starts being fun.
It's like that one photo of the audience reaction to the Chestburster scene in Alien, where you see one guy in the back with the biggest smile.
It’s like they took some edibles beforehand 😂
Knowing how much JC loves the waccy I wouldn't be surprised.
@@ciarzy52 If you listen closely you can hear John flicking a lighter and blowing smoke of something continuously throughout the movie commentary lol
@@1headphoneguyyou can literally hear the bong water lmao
@@1headphoneguy He's a chainsmoker, I count that he had four cigs throughout the whole commentary track
They very well could have lol. Carpenter's love of the devil's lettuce is well documented
Wilford Brimley: *exists*
Kurt Russell and John Carpenter: HAHAHAAHAHAAAA!
diabeetus
For everyone who is sad _ listen to John and Kurt. You'll be laughing and your sadness will be gone.
"It's a scene about a hat." Pretty accurate.
Hearing one of my favorite directors and favorite actors together in a room just talking shit makes me happy.
One of my favorite comments from Carpenter during this commentary is where Snake is kind of lost, wondering what to do next and he just sits down in a chair and thinks for a minute. Carpenter said that they just made that up in the moment and just simply says, "That's filmmaking guys." No pretensions or bullshit. Just make it work and have fun.
"Just be yourself"
Snake wasn't in The Thing. Lol. This ain't New York.
Duh.@@TheDisturbedKiwi

Lmao the bong hit at 1:24
Probably pouring some liquor actually, since they're both talking at the same time while it happens
So thats why he laughing his ass off lol
The more I listen to Kurt’s laughing, the more I realize that The Thing might actually be the most unexpected funniest comedy in the world 😂
Scene: Macready turns around.
Kurt Russell: **Errupts into Laughter**
I love John carpenters laugh too. So macabre lol
Lol them watching the Thing like theyre watching The Naked Gun is hilarious
I love how they made one of the greatest horror movies of all time but they don't take themselves or it too seriously, to them it's just a good time.
“Ray’s in rehab now,isn’t he?”😂
1:23 bong rip 😂

They should have done an escape from L.A. commentary.
Kurt might die of laughing
Kurt Russell and John Carpenter; absolute legends 👏
I couldn't stop laughing listening to this...😂
Love how it’s supposed to be scary and Kurt is just laughing his ass off 😂 also the hat bit was gold
0:30 - pickin' up my laundry 👕👚
1:52 that shit is infectious lmao
I laugh all the way through The Thing too because it's just so awesome. It's a laugh of love and delight.
This just made me love Kurt even more than I already did
I watched it with their commentary. Felt like I was chillin with em. Very fun dudes.
No doubt Kurt and Martin Lee Gore (Depeche Mode) have the most contagious laughs in history..
Both heroes of mine.
Watched the thing recently with the commentary on the extras. Absolutely amazing
Love the director and leading actor of one of the best horror films of all time reacting to their own movie like 2 stoned college students watching a campy horror B movie.
Its the,"oh man" at the end that does it for me
*"Alright cut the bullshit!*"
*HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA*
2:01 Epic laugh
Kurt laughing his ass off is so hilarious!! His the best one of my favourite actors growing up!! His movies where always fun. Something missing in too many films today!!
thats so heart warming, they must have had a blast making this movie
The juxtaposition between their laughter and the absolutely horrifying images on screen is hilarious, lol
I just saw this last night. First time, I was 15. Still love this movie. I had a wicked crush on Kurt as a teenager😁
The Thing is one of my All-Time Favorite and in my Opinion is one of the Best Horror Movie 🤘😎
I really love how much Fun John Carpenter and Kurt Russell had with this Movie ❤👍
It's not just one of the best horror films, it's one of the best films ever made. Easily one of the top 50 best films of all time.
I've been a Kurt fan my entire life since I first saw him 'Follow Me Boys' and 'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes' back in the 1960s. He just seems to be good no matter what he appears in. It would be a treat to hear this entire reaction.

Such contagious laughter lol
“It’s a scene about a hat.” Lul
Kurt def had some plant before watching this 🤣
It's so great to know that one of the greatest movies was also fun to make, and made by really cool people. Everything about this movie is good.
you can tell they are such good friends and just having fun
Kurt had me laughing 😂
Kurt Russell loves to laugh, man. Always has.
0:54 “I don’t know why you find that flashlight” I’m now going to notice this scene forever. Why did he??? Like it’s not the most critical thing, but it was just kinda out in the snow on a box and he found it? So strange and now, hilarious
Could tell it was good times making it.
Kurt legit has one of the best laughs
@1:50 Always loved that scene of the flame thrower hitting the floor and moving back. Something about it.
It's a perfect combo commentary of a movie geek and a "cool guy"
That laugh is contagious.. like the thing.
The way this is edited you just assume Kurt was laughing the whole time.
bet John brought some good grass before recording lmao
Okay Kurt Russel Laughing to clips of the thing is my new roman empire
Kurt reminds me of a character called Mike from this one episode in bbc comedy series 'I'm Alan partridge ' who just constantly laughs anytime someone says something '
Wilfred Brimley in The Thing and a decade later in The Firm is a terrifying man.
Kurt’s laugh has some real Jay Bauman energy.
If I ever work at a fire tower I'd want that hat! 👒
Kurt would laugh at anything. It could a 10 second scene of someone reading the newspaper abd Kurt would be in hysterics
Kurt laughs like the bug that only makes that sound in Rick & Morty
the commentary for Big Trouble In Little China is similar, these two guys are just genuinely very good friends and it always comes through
This is the hardest I've laughed in about two years, and I work in comedy. Man.
One of my favorite commentaries. Wish I had a DVD player still!
No way Kurt is sober here!😂
Definitely not sober
You can literally hear a bong being ripped lmao
@@nbeutler1134Omg I just heard it 😂
“Ray wanted to do ever one of them” “He’s in rehab now isn’t he”
