a lot of people like to clown on Ice Cube for starting off as a hood rapper and now he's making family-friendly disney movies as though he sold out or something, but the people that do that don't seem to respect that he SURVIVED the hood to get the chance to be able to get that career...he deserves it.
At 4:58 It took me literally DECADES before I noticed there was another dude in her bed when she's chewing out Craig. This movie is a level of brilliance we rarely see.
I had the honor of making dinner for John Witherspoon once. Super nice dude. He was on a stand up tour, must've been '08 or so in Seattle. I was working at a bar next to the club he headlined, and he came by after and asked if the kitchen was still open. It ABSOLUTELY was. Comedy legend and a gentleman. 💯🐈
All my old school fav movies got John in em. Jealous like a mf lol. Was watching house party back the other week with my 10 year old son. Told him to keep an eye out for John... you will see him a lot in the movies we watch lol. We got this thing of watchin movies i used to watch growing up together :)
- 2:06 LaWanda Page. Played Aunt Esther on Sanford and Son - 3:39 Regina King. Played Cubes "girl" in Boyz in the Hood - 4:54 Most people don't realize or SEE the guy lying on the bed next to her 🤣 - 7:46 That's DJ Pooh, he's the on that wrote the movie with Cube. - 9:18 The guy who told Ezell to get up off the floor was the director, F. Gary Gray -
I largely avoid people’s reactions to Friday just cuz I don’t think most can really get and appreciate the humor and story but glad I tapped in for this video. I’m so glad you enjoyed it too. Made the reaction that much funnier
Epic reaction to this great movie. As I was watching you watch this I was struck by the pace and tone feeling like Clerks and then, BAM, Matthew's notes. Never felt so proud to spot a film's influence. And I think this has weathered the years better than Clerks.
This may be one of the most realistic "hood" settings I've seen. As someone who grew up in a similar area, not all low income housing neighborhoods are East Baltimore.
I got to meet Tommy 'Tiny' Lister a few years before he died in a sports bar in Orange County CA. Him and former 70's Oakland Raider Otis Sistrunk were guests of a former USC football player that day. Tommy actually did grow up in Compton.
"Cultural landmark" really is the best description of Friday...it carries itself well on so many levels...great cast, great writing, quotable lines, memorable moments, great comedy, serious issues and an absolutely magnificent soundtrack!!!
Fun fact Michael Clarke Duncan (The Big dude who was shooting dice with Deebo and Smokey) and Meagan Good (the little girl in the baseball cap) were in this movie too
It took me 20 years to notice that when Craig's girlfriend is accusing him of cheating on the phone in the beginning there's a guy sleeping next to her on the bed .
I love how every single character in this is like a cartoon character. Everyone is quirky and has a distinctive look that makes them memorable and recognizable. Like in The Simpsons.
After watching Boyz N The Hood and Friday it’s a must to watch Straight Outta Compton. The Biopic about Ice Cube and his group NWA. Ice Cube’s real son plays him in the movie and there’s a scene in there with him writing the Friday script.
You know its a good reaction when the laughs come with a side of the snorts. So many quotable lines too. Big Worm's "The fuck THAT gotta do with me?" will never not make me laugh.
I'm old. I worked at a theater when this came out, so I saw this movie a lot, and I always wondered why no one caught that joke. It's literally RIGHT THERE IN YOUR FACE! Yet no one caught it until RUclips. But I'm glad it's getting it's due. Just makes a re-watch that much better!
The neighborhood in which Friday was set is the same South Central Los Angeles area in which director F. Gary Gray spent his childhood. Principal houses that were used for filming were houses of old friends of Gray. The scene where Deebo (Tommy Lister Jr.) punches Red (DJ Pooh) causing him to fly through the air is Gray's childhood home.
I took an unplanned detour down the street where they filmed this and it took me a minute to realize why it all seemed so familiar. The convenience store is only a couple minutes away as well.
Now you have to watch the 1996 Hilarious spoof of Hood movies called "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" ... And YES.. That is the actual name of the movie!! LMFAO!! You would LOVE IT!
You’re a hoot😂. Love your sense of humor. I’d recommend reacting to the Scary Movies comedy. 1 & 2 were produced by the Wayans brothers and are hilarious. The rest of them were good also, except for #5.
Another fact: The Soundtrack had alot of good artist but there was some beef between ice cube stealing a song from Cypress hill and ice cube making money off them without there permission. Its on the soundtrack still lol.
Emily, you're such a kind soul, and a genuine, kindred spirit. I love seeing your reactions to movies that have brought a smile to my face for so long. Friday is now somewhat of a "classic" for so many of us...which is crazy... and makes me feel a bit old...but oh well. lol I saw the thumbnail for this video and immediately thought "awww!!" :)
You and your husband are always welcome at the cookout. You're a light-skinned cousin. On another note, I met Tiny Lister (Deebo) in Chicago. He was a very sweet, humble man. We were at the Boys and Girls Club and the kids were all over him.
I bet you didn't know that F Gary Gray made an appearence in the movie as well he was in the store when Ezel was screaming about him falling , he is the one that told him get your punk ass up it ain't even wet over there
So before this movie Deebo was known by all of us as Zeus. Hulk Hogan's enemy in wrestling and main bad guy in Hulk Hogan's first movie No Holds Barred. Back then the guy wasn't just big he was also ripped, like bodybuilder ripped.
25:29 that "get knocked out like your father used to" line always confused me. Originally in the script Mr.Jones was an amateur boxer in the past who never made it to professional.
I never got peer pressured into doing drugs, either lol...one guy--ONE GUY--tried when I was a freshman in high school and it lasted about 5 seconds before he gave up and left. Him: "You do pot?" Me: "No." Him: "Why not?" Me: "Why should I?" Him: (stares blankly and pauses) "....but why not?" Me: "Why should I?" Him: "Because it makes you feel good." Me: "I already feel good." That's when he gave up and left.
The Movie Craig's father watches is called Man's Best Friend, it's a great B-Grade movie about a killer genetically modified and part robot Dog starring Ally Sheedy and Lance Henriksen (the scene where it kills the Cat is stuff of Legend).
Straight Outta Compton covers most of the basic stuff you would need to know about NWA and the aftermath of everything. It is mostly serious with a few humorous moments.
F Gary Gray makes cameos in his films. Another classic of his is the movie 'Set It Off' with 4 female leads. Two of which are Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith. That one won't disappoint!
If you like the father's routine, I highly recommed Boomerang makes his scenes here seem like an audition. He clowns Eddie Murphys character hard, by far one of his best movie roles ever. "Bang, bang, bang" came from that movie.
😅Very Very Good,Funny And Entertaining Movie. Your Reaction Were Better To Watch It With.😅😂😂..Your Laughter Is CONTAGIOUS 😅😂😂..And I'm Still Watching Y'alls Reactions To Black Dynamite..I've watched it 7even times now😊😅.Great Great Channel👍🏾💯💯👍🏾
In the background of one of the shots, two guys were sitting on the corner drinking and refused to move so they could shoot that part. So they did it quickly with them there
Am loving these solo reactions to these smoking movies you should do the best smoking movies for your solo reactions movies like Half baked, how high, pineapple express, I think Friday 2 falls in that same category
17:56 The little girl in the denim cap that said she hates Big Worm is Meagan Good Regina King has, among other many other roles, voiced both Huey and Riley in the adult cartoon The Boondocks. And John Witherspoon was the voice of their grandfather
Emily Back in my former smoking (wink! wink!) days, I had a friend who used to chain smoke his stuff and asking me, if I am ready for another one? I told him that I am nearly half baked! Now, working for biomedical field and other technical jobs has me stop smoking. Do I crave it? Maybe, but I do love job.
I’ve seen a lot of people react to this movie…. This was one of my favorite reactions. And I’ve seen this movie over 50 times….. I recommend “The Wood” with your husband. lol. Also when he gets home tell ‘em you’ve been deemed Julia Jackson, Janet Jackson’s cousin.
At school we endlessly quoted this movie, Ace Ventura, and the Mask lol. Felicia is also in House Party 3. F Gary Gray has some great movies (like Set it Off). Check him out.
"Come on, I already dropped. If you don't drop too I'll be the only one tripping." School bus on the way to school, freshman year of HS. Ended up sneaking off campus and taking a cab to see Highlander 2. (yes, I am old). But that was pressure to do drugs again. There was never any pressure to do them for a first time. Just once you'd done them it was assumed you'd always be down to do them again so come on and hit/drop/snort whatever it is so it doesn't have to be done alone.
RIP John Witherspoon (Craig's Dad)
RIP Tiny Lester Jr
(Deebo)
RIP Bernie Mac
(Pastor Clever)
RIP Yvette Wilson
(Rita)
RIP Anthony Johnson
(Ezal)
Bernie Mac has a studio apartment in my head that is rent-free. The man was a legend.
Also RIP Michael Clarke Duncan (one of the guys that was shooting dice with Deebo and Smokey)

So many greats 😢 a lot of them were my childhood that's why I think this movie is extremely nostalgic for me
a lot of people like to clown on Ice Cube for starting off as a hood rapper and now he's making family-friendly disney movies as though he sold out or something, but the people that do that don't seem to respect that he SURVIVED the hood to get the chance to be able to get that career...he deserves it.
"I love the hood, but I wouldn't raise my kids there" - Ice Cube
"a lot of people like to clown on Ice Cube"
What does that even mean?
The sudden look of recognition on your face after, "Bye Felicia", was priceless!
Mr Parker finally got his revenge in bad santa
I always believed Bad Santa was an unofficial sequel. I wish there was a cameo of Craig and Day Day as mall security
Mr Parker had it coming.
Stealing Charlie's wife in Rhode Island, causing him to get schizophrenia 😂😂
He also stole Charles wife in Me Myself and Irene
Naa thats wild 😂😂
hahahahahaha!!!!!
At 4:58 It took me literally DECADES before I noticed there was another dude in her bed when she's chewing out Craig. This movie is a level of brilliance we rarely see.
Man, I've never noticed that cat back there either until you pointed it out! What a revelation lol.
Lol well don’t worry it is not the Mandela effect, he was always there.
I had the honor of making dinner for John Witherspoon once. Super nice dude. He was on a stand up tour, must've been '08 or so in Seattle. I was working at a bar next to the club he headlined, and he came by after and asked if the kitchen was still open. It ABSOLUTELY was. Comedy legend and a gentleman. 💯🐈
He is one of my favorite comedians. Super cool you got to meet him.

Debo and my grandfather died within hours of each other and it really makes me laugh thinking of them in line for the pearly gates together
I largely avoid people’s reactions to Friday just cuz I don’t think most can really get and appreciate the humor and story but glad I tapped in for this video. I’m so glad you enjoyed it too. Made the reaction that much funnier
Smokey & Deebo would reunite in 300 years w/ Bruce Willis 😆
Damn it's that far in the future???
Epic reaction to this great movie. As I was watching you watch this I was struck by the pace and tone feeling like Clerks and then, BAM, Matthew's notes. Never felt so proud to spot a film's influence. And I think this has weathered the years better than Clerks.
Pops was watching "Man's Best Friend " while recovering from his dog bite.
Underrated movie....we went to see that in 93 when it came out in the theatre
This may be one of the most realistic "hood" settings I've seen. As someone who grew up in a similar area, not all low income housing neighborhoods are East Baltimore.
The realism is a big reason the other movies don't live up to this one. There are no real stakes in the sequels, and no sense of danger or tension.
@@mage1439 yep they wasn’t authentic as this one
She a whole vibe, she valid, The black delegation would like to invite this woman to the cookout
As a random aside Angela Means, the actress who played Felicia, just opened a vegan restaurant out here in rural west Texas.
Pops is a legend!!!! ❤❤❤ He will be missed.
Another factoid: The actress who played Felicia has a son who played QB and was drafted by my Detroit Lions. His name is Brad Kaaya.
From what I understand, she also moved to Tahoka, TX and is opening a vegan restaurant.
@@Grovester77 Yea she is a pro chef who had a ghost kitchen in LA
And she was fine in real life!
@@Jerzeejaylive She was a model before this movie.
This is just a classic. You can’t go wrong with Friday. I tried to rewatch this every few years or so and it never fails to crack me up.
I got to meet Tommy 'Tiny' Lister a few years before he died in a sports bar in Orange County CA. Him and former 70's Oakland Raider Otis Sistrunk were guests of a former USC football player that day. Tommy actually did grow up in Compton.
*John Coffey rollin dice with Deebo😆
He wanted a line or a speaking role. The director said he regrets not being able to give him some lines but they had limited funding
"Cultural landmark" really is the best description of Friday...it carries itself well on so many levels...great cast, great writing, quotable lines, memorable moments, great comedy, serious issues and an absolutely magnificent soundtrack!!!
Fun fact Michael Clarke Duncan (The Big dude who was shooting dice with Deebo and Smokey) and Meagan Good (the little girl in the baseball cap) were in this movie too
DJ Pooh's 3 strikes is a fantastic movie (good luck finding it). Gta V pooh was in that too
An absolute classic of the 90s. I won't fail to watch. I am glad u reacted. You crack me up. Your laugh is contagious
It took me 20 years to notice that when Craig's girlfriend is accusing him of cheating on the phone in the beginning there's a guy sleeping next to her on the bed .
Same 😂
We're watching 'Friday' on a Wednesday.... Smash the system!
My sister & I quote this movie ALL THE TIME. 😂I’m dying just thinkin’ ab Smokey shitting in the bushes
I just have to thank you two. I really enjoyed your reactions this month. The laughter was infectious and movies were "right on"
I really really really hope you continue this series ! ! !
I am loving the hell out of this ! ! !
I love how every single character in this is like a cartoon character. Everyone is quirky and has a distinctive look that makes them memorable and recognizable. Like in The Simpsons.
Uncle johnny aka john Witherspoon is a longtime family friend RIP uncle johnny miss you
Best reaction Ever to this movie! I couldn’t stop laughing 😂
After watching Boyz N The Hood and Friday it’s a must to watch Straight Outta Compton. The Biopic about Ice Cube and his group NWA. Ice Cube’s real son plays him in the movie and there’s a scene in there with him writing the Friday script.
I never put the Clerks thing together till you said it. Now I see it.
I’ve always thought that
Omg... I've seen this move sooo many times and just noticed the guy in the bed when Craig's girlfriend was on the phone lol
You know its a good reaction when the laughs come with a side of the snorts. So many quotable lines too. Big Worm's "The fuck THAT gotta do with me?" will never not make me laugh.
Rip to pops👃
I like how Mrs. Parker was just watering dirt, lol.
I was about to point out the high pitched sound, but then I heard Chris Tucker's voice, and he instantly got even funnier.
A lot of people don't notice it, but when the girlfriend first calls and talks to Craig on the phone, there's a guy in bed behind her sleeping lol
I had seen this sooo many times back in the day, but it wasn't until people started doing reactions to it, that I realised that there's a guy there 😂
@freemansteinslab same here. The more I watched it, the more I noticed. Lol
At least 20 times before I noticed
I never saw that. Now I have to rewatch!
I'm old. I worked at a theater when this came out, so I saw this movie a lot, and I always wondered why no one caught that joke. It's literally RIGHT THERE IN YOUR FACE! Yet no one caught it until RUclips.
But I'm glad it's getting it's due. Just makes a re-watch that much better!
This movie's a MASTERPIECE!!!!!
A COMEDIC GEM!!!!!🤣

Fun fact the director of the movie F Gary Gray is the store owner
He worked there, but the owner of the "Black Owned Business" was the Asian guy behind the counter. Lol
This aught to be a giggle-fest.
How about "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!" (1998) - it's a blaxpoitation parody directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans.
Smokey somehow forgot that he already had $100
Lmao Thats What Smoking Lots of Weed Would Do to some people Heads 😂😂 Have Amnesia Or He Probably Spent Dat 100$
I bet you didn't know that F Gary Gray made an appearence in the movie as well he was in the store when Ezel was screaming about him falling , he is the one that told him get your punk ass up it ain't even wet over there
Love your snicker when u laugh 😂
So before this movie Deebo was known by all of us as Zeus. Hulk Hogan's enemy in wrestling and main bad guy in Hulk Hogan's first movie No Holds Barred. Back then the guy wasn't just big he was also ripped, like bodybuilder ripped.
Classic film and Great Reaction by you !
Your constant laughing was awesome.
25:29 that "get knocked out like your father used to" line always confused me. Originally in the script Mr.Jones was an amateur boxer in the past who never made it to professional.
I figured his dad use to get into fights
Considering how everybody knows everybody on that street, he probably knows that Mr. Jones always lost and never made it.
I never got peer pressured into doing drugs, either lol...one guy--ONE GUY--tried when I was a freshman in high school and it lasted about 5 seconds before he gave up and left.
Him: "You do pot?"
Me: "No."
Him: "Why not?"
Me: "Why should I?"
Him: (stares blankly and pauses) "....but why not?"
Me: "Why should I?"
Him: "Because it makes you feel good."
Me: "I already feel good."
That's when he gave up and left.
Emily u need to watch How to be a playa, Who's your caddy & For da love of money. Loved this reaction because Daaammmnnn it was funny!! 😂
My boss said he'd never fire someone on their day off after seeing this movie
The Jehovah witness was a famous comedienne Lawanda Page. U may remember as aunt Ester from Sanford and Son.
The Movie Craig's father watches is called Man's Best Friend, it's a great B-Grade movie about a killer genetically modified and part robot Dog starring Ally Sheedy and Lance Henriksen (the scene where it kills the Cat is stuff of Legend).
Mrs.Parker funny as hell watering some dirt
Thee absolute BEST reaction hands down! EVER!!!!
Friday was always so hilarious!🤣
When the ms parker reveal came up,i had the same look
Another movie Ice Cube wrote is Players Club, which I think you would enjoy as well
Straight Outta Compton covers most of the basic stuff you would need to know about NWA and the aftermath of everything. It is mostly serious with a few humorous moments.
F Gary Gray makes cameos in his films. Another classic of his is the movie 'Set It Off' with 4 female leads. Two of which are Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith. That one won't disappoint!
In the exstended version, you see Izael running with the boxes Craig got fired for 😂😂😂😂
I just realized I still use the "for my cataracts" line today from this movie 😂😂😂 RIP Bernie Mac 🙌🏾
The director also did The Negotiator and the Italian Job remake.
I LOVE The Negotiator, I wish more people would react to it.
@@taneshah.1260u ain't lying!!!
@@taneshah.1260 The Negotiator is so underrated. I'm surprised there aren't many channels reacting to it
Check the rest of the 'Friday' trilogy. And then check out the 'Barbershop' trilogy also starring Ice Cube.
I could watch her watch every movie ever made. I can't get enough.
If you like the father's routine, I highly recommed Boomerang makes his scenes here seem like an audition. He clowns Eddie Murphys character hard, by far one of his best movie roles ever. "Bang, bang, bang" came from that movie.

I think you'll like Eddie Murphy Harlem Nights
Absolutely! That movie is hilarious!
5:04 She got some nerve, she's cheating on him with dude beside her!
Also the outfit he wears thru out the movie is the same outfit he wears in the 'Today Was A Good Day' video.
Yes! Highly recommended Straight Outta Compton
19:55 he so scary because he use to be a pro wrestler back in the 80s in the WWF as Zeus
You really do have to watch boomerang! With Eddie Murphy, Martin, Lawrence, and David Allen, Greer. It’s hilarious.
I would love to see a solo reaction to "the breaks"(1999)
In the background of one of the shots, two guys were sitting on the corner drinking and refused to move so they could shoot that part. So they did it quickly with them there

Am loving these solo reactions to these smoking movies you should do the best smoking movies for your solo reactions movies like Half baked, how high, pineapple express, I think Friday 2 falls in that same category
I can’t wait for the Next Friday & Friday After Next reaction for a fact your gonna be on the floor laughing 😂😂
Love to see you drinking Parish Ghost In the Machine! One of the best IPA in the world!
17:56 The little girl in the denim cap that said she hates Big Worm is Meagan Good

My stoner friends and I used to hang out and say ' What's up m- WELL FK YOU THEN!" before anyone got a chance to respond.
Did you notice the man laying in the bed next to Craig's girlfriend when she called him about be caught at the club with another female
Emily
I have to say it but you have picked one of my favorite movies. Chris Tucker is a trip!
Emily
Amazing thing is that actor, Tommy "Tiny" Lister was total opposite of Deebo character. Sadly, Lister died in 2020 at 62

You gotta react to Rush hour 1,2,and 3. Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan are a perfect duo. You will laugh your butt off. The movies also have action.
Friday👀 Cool!!! Super Film.Some kind'a Big Lebowski Humor👌
I’ve seen a lot of people react to this movie…. This was one of my favorite reactions. And I’ve seen this movie over 50 times….. I recommend “The Wood” with your husband. lol. Also when he gets home tell ‘em you’ve been deemed Julia Jackson, Janet Jackson’s cousin.
Mrs Parker was so fine ain't nobody notice she was watering dirt & one lonely flower lol😅
At school we endlessly quoted this movie, Ace Ventura, and the Mask lol.
