Your hearty laugh at the “Use your open eye, Frank” joke was everything. 😄
it is the best jk in the trilogy. & nothing to see here. -JC
Agreed.
Indeed! Plus, it’s more genuine than a lot of other reactors that have watched this movie.
That and the body outline on the water are my two favorite gags in this movie.
Dawns laughs everything, she genuinely gets me laughing!
"Who?"
Who's your favorite popular music star from the last 40 years? Type in that musician's name and "Weird Al" together in the search bar. Watch the first video it tells you to. Welcome to your next rabbit hole.
People don’t know who Weird Al is anymore… No wonder the world is going to hell
To be fair he was never huge over here in the UK.
Has he really been out of the spotlight so long that grown-ass adults don't know him? Yikes. I feel really old now.
First reaction to this movie I've seen where he wasn't recognized, I agree it's probably the UK thing.
@@eddiecollison he had 2 biggish hits here with fat, and eat it, he's viewed more as a novelty act, we never got marketing campaigns for his albums, quite sad really because he has real talent
There’s countries other than America, bud
Hearing “Who?” to Weird Al hurt my heart a bit.
He’s the greatest novelty musician in history, and one of the nicest people in show business. Try watching his music videos, that’s one rabbit hole you won’t regret.
"UHF" would make for a great reaction!
@@Stevarooni Dawn would love UHF.
@@Thomas-kj1fk If you like ZAZ, you'll love UHF.
Weird Al is a god among men. I have not heard a single bad comment about him, except maybe through Coolio.
@@RareHarmony Amish paradise lol. Coolio took it too seriously.
The “who?” for Weird Al really cut deep.
Every now and again, something happens or someone says something, and I feel really, REALLY OLD!
Thanks a lot Dawn! Now I think I'll go sit on my rocking chair & whittle.
It's nothing to do with age as Weird Al is almost unknown in the UK.
@@wipeout2098 Really? Huh. I knew "Weird Al" was a "niche" performer, a niche I enjoyed since my teens, but I assumed he was a "Global" niche performer.
"Learn something new every day" I guess.
@@wipeout2098 how do you figure that?
@@motodork I live in the UK. MTV was never big here so Weird Al parodying music videos few people had seen on a channel few people had means he's almost unknown.
Who’s Weird Al you say? He’s king of the parody song. He’s done everyone from Michael Jackson to Madonna to Nirvana. Look him up and you’ll not be disappointed
Also the hotdog bit is a callback to the guy who falls into the vat earlier in the film
He also has a few original songs here and there too, but they're supposed to be comedy/funny songs.
Some of the "newer" songs I remember:
Tacky ( "Happy" by Pharrell Williams)
Handy ("Fancy" by Iggy Azalea)
Word Crimes ( "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke)
Foil ( "Royals" by Lorde)
Holy crap, I never put together the hot dog/finger joke before, thank you!
Holy 1989, Batman!!!
This may make you feel better: the first ad that played was for Shudder's new show "Gwar" featuring, you guessed it, the guy with the terrific hair himself.
16:00 The "finger" thing often gets missed. It's a callback to the scene where Frank was attacked by one of Ludwig's thugs in the factory, and the thug accidentally went into the meat-grinder. Said factory was apparently making the hot-dogs for the ballpark, so Ludwig finding his own minion's remains in his lunch is a little poetic.
Weird Al reactions are now required!
The driving instructor was John Houseman, one of the most important figures in 20th century American theater.
Houseman collaborated with Orson Welles through the 30s and collaborated on _Citizen Kane._ Houseman went on to direct and produce many plays on Broadway. He was the founding Director of the drama program at The Julliard School, which has produced such talents as Kevin Kline (Otto in _A Fish Called Wanda_), Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya in _The Princess Bride_), Christopher Reeve (Superman in the 1978 film, or, as my friend Bobby Newell has it, "The only blue eyes"), the great Patti Lupone, and the late Robin Williams.
While primarily a director, Houseman did act on stage and in films from time to time, and eventually on television, even winning a Best Supporting Acting Oscar for his role in the 1973 film, _The Paper Chase_. In that film he played a professor in a law school, which role he reprised in the 1978 TV series based on the film. So making him a driving instructor is a parody of his most well-known role.
That's some damn cool stuff I never knew about this movie, thanks. :D
I'd completely forgotten he was in The Paper Chase TV series until now! That was such a great show, we could do with more shows like that today to remind the world what the printed press (and media) should be.
That was the most informative comment I have ever read! No matter what subject. Nice work 👍🙏.
You have to watch Weird Al videos! Eat It, Fat, Amish Paradise, Perform This Way (which I'm in), Living With a Hernia, Yoda. Too many to name!
Seconded!!
Like a Surgeon, Amish Paradise etc.
It's a little bit of a crime to not know Weird Al.
They're eating red pistachios. The coloring notoriously gets on everything.
And, if you haven't yet had the pleasure, I assure you, you DO indeed want some.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 You end up wanting too many, hence the pile of shells.
@@mikejankowski6321 And taking out a loan...Not the least expensive nut, but surely a fine treat!
In weed-legal states pistachio shell piles of that size are commonly seen.
I guess pistachio's are not too popular. I have watched a few reactions of this movie and none of the reactors knew what they are.
Ok, you’ve done Airplane and The Naked Gun. Now it’s time for Top Secret!
Top Secret! is the best , far more sophisticated
Which, just by the way, is WEIRD AL YANKOVIC'S favorite movie of all time :D !
Loaded Weapon.. plz
@@anyviolet Well, there you go. No other reason is needed!
The complete lack of a reaction to the pillow throw at 8:24 hurt me. That's probably my favorite bit in the whole movie. 😂
She did crack a little bit of a smile. Her reaction of "who?" when Weird Al appeared is what hurt me. I had to pause the video to process it.😦
but it's horrible!
Frank almost died by pillow!
Leslie Nielsen's brother Erik flew 33 bombing missions with 101 Squadron in WW2, where he was awarded the DFC. He later became a Member of Parliament in Canada.
Actually Erik Nielsen was Deputy Prime Minister for nearly 2 years, and Leader of the Opposition for about 3 months.
OMG
I just hear you say WHO when the name WEIRD AL YANKOVIC was mentioned!! YOU need to watch his @ 1 hit from 1984, the spoof of Michael Jacksons BEAT it titled . . EAT IT!@ :D
Baseball game notes:
The Vaseline in the pitcher's hat is to let him doctor the ball. A baseball thrown with some wetness or other scuffing on it (known a spitball, because they originally doctored the ball with their spit) will come at the batter differently and spin in unexpected ways. Baseball banned the spitball in 1920, but pitchers have been trying to get around it ever since. Normally, when an umpire checks a pitcher, he's looking for the Vaseline (or KY Jelly, or sandpaper, or nail file, or whatever else you can imagine), hence the joke: Drebin doesn't care about the obvious illegal substance, showing he's not a real umpire.
The escapades in the base paths when Drebin starts throwing the ball is a rundown. The ball was hit into play and the Angel fielders are trying to tag out a Mariner runner before he can stop at a base. The two fielders are trying to cut down the runner's room to run when Drebin steps in, catches the ball, and throws it to the runner, who is trying to avoid the ball like the Devil avoids holy water (though hitting him with the ball won't cause him to be out; the runner catching the ball would be called out for interfering with play).
The first batter of the game was Jay Johnstone, who had retired a few years earlier (and died just a few months ago). Johnstone was a journeyman outfielder who played for many teams, but mostly the Los Angeles Dodgers (the other team in Los Angeles is the Angels, playing in the game, though it was using "California Angels" as the moniker at the time of this game). Johnstone had played for the Angels, but like 20 years before. To give an idea how serious this game actually was, Johnstone was a left-handed batter, which means he would have stood on the other side of the plate.
The right fielder who was out to kill the Queen was Reggie Jackson, who was an incredibly famous ballplayer for his home run power (he's a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame) and for his massive ego. Johnstone in his memoirs Temporary Insanity (Johnstone was legendary for his wit and his pranks) wrote that, when he and Jackson were teammates on the Yankees about a decade before, Jackson was bragging to the other players about how many home runs he had hit and how amazing his other statistics were. Johnstone had to point out that Jackson struck out quite a bit (he's still the all-time leader in strikeouts while batting) to deflate Jackson's ego. Seriously, he dominated the sports chatter of the era. There was a candy called a Reggie Bar named after him and his remark that if he were to play in New York, they'd have to name a candy bar after him, and he got traded to New York. Pitcher Catfish Hunter, a teammate of Jackson's in Oakland and New York, quipped that he tried to eat the candy bar, but he opened the package and the candy told him how great it was. But he was great: his three home run game in the 1977 World Series was legendary for years afterwards.
On a further sports note, the unfortunate Officer Nordberg was played by O.J. Simpson, who was a football legend in the 1970s and killed his wife in 1994.
Played in a celebrity golf tournament in the mid 90's that had Jay Johnstone in it. Unfortunately, wasn't in his foursome.
surprised you didn't mention wrigley field in chicago (the LA wrigley field was torn down at this point but used to house Cubs minor league, the Angels when they were a minor league team and then later the Angels proper) was used in the establishing shot of the game but dodger stadium was used for the rest.
Leslie Neilson was considered a dramatic actor for decades before he finally broke in comedy, still love him in the sci fi classic Forbidden planet.
🤣🤣🤣 Neilson is some swedish actor? I believe here in this film the canadian actor Nielsen is present 😉
@@wrf85 .. Actually, Leslie Nielsen was a Danish-Welsh Canadian. His father was an immigrant from Denmark who joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and his mother from Wales.
And his brother was Deputy Prime Minister.
And he often played villains, which is a little shocking if you're only familiar with his comedy roles. He uses the same deadpan seriousness, but makes it quite threatening.
I love that you are too young to know who OJ is. You pick every movie I loved when I was your age. The tv show that proceeded this, Police Squad is also awesome. The Three Amigos, that's right up there too.
In all the reaction videos ive watched for the Naked Gun, nobody ever comments on the fact that Enrico Pallazo's tuxedo fits him perfectly. LOL!!!!
I mean, true, but if that's the only unusual thing you pick-up on in this movie, you may want to re-watch it. Any commitment to reality goes out the door in the first minute or so.
The older lady who portrayed Ludwig's secretary is actually the mother of the directors. She was also in Airplane; she portrayed the lady attempting to apply makeup at the worst possible moments.
Gotta check out Weird Al's stuff. "White & Nerdy", "Amish Paradise" or "Foil" are good places to start.
And “Word Crimes”
And UHF movie.
& "Dare To Be Stupid", my #3 favorite song of all time!
Weird Al has been the King of Song Parodies since the late 1970's when he was in college. His early hits were "Another One Rides the Bus", " I lost on Jeopardy", and "I love Rocky Road". In the 80's and 90's, he had some really big hits parodying Michael Jackson, with "Eat it" and "Fat". Also had hits like, "Amish Paradise", "The Saga Begins", "Foil", " White and Nerdy", "Tacky" and many others.
He is, as advertised, weird but is a seriously good musician. All his songs are of good quality. It's a rabbit hole you should be happy to fall into.
He also did a movie called UHF. It's incredibly silly, which suits his personality perfectly. Worth a watch too.
The one he did for phantom menace was better than most serious songs
Pricilla was Elvis’ wife. She was 43 at filming.
I had no clue how old she was when these were made. She looks amazing....
And pretty.
Weren’t they cousins also
@@jimideth no that was Jerry Lee Lewis & his wife
Those pink shells -- pistachio nuts. And they are DEEE-LICIOUS. This is one of my all-time fave films. Much respect.
So glad you finally got to enjoy this - so many quotes to choose from!
Personal fave: "Doctors say he's only a 50/50 chance of living. Though there's only a ten percent chance of that..."😂😂
I remember seeing this as a kid back in the 80s and I must have laughed for a good five minutes straight at the sight of OJ flipping through the air like a football at the end.
The red things, that Frank and Ed were eating in the car, were pistachios. There are conflicting stories as to why, but the shells were dyed red here in the States; that practice started dying off during the '80s. That was a big pile of pistachio shells outside Frank's car door.
Nice beaver... 😁
Naked Gun never fails to put a smile on my face... much like your reaction vids, Dawn! So glad you enjoyed it, and that you read through the credits too 😉
And don't forget the Police Squad TV series these were based on
It'll take less time to watch the entire TV series than the film trilogy.
@@johncampbell756 Sad, but true. Though, the running garbage can crash gag would have been insane, had there been a hundred episodes.
@@johnsensebe3153 The show never got the chance to become disappointing.
If you truly enjoyed this, you just might have a blast with the 2 Hot Shots movies. These movies spoof Top Gun (the former) and Rambo (the latter).
12:15 He's eating red (dyed) pistachio nuts. That pile is the shells. They are delicious and addictive.
YT search 'The Naked Gun | Red pistachios scene [HD]':
"Iranian pistachios were dyed red because their harvesting method stains the shell an unappetizing color. We set up an embargo against Iran in the 70s and now we get them from California. Our harvesting method doesn't stain the shell so theres no reason to dy them anymore".
I kinda miss the red dye. It was 'tradition' in a way.
I'll bet the red dye is made up of crushed beetles. Still miss it?
Top Secret was equally amazing. It was Val Kilmer’s first movie role I believe.
According to Dan Akroyd's character in The Great Outdoors, hotdogs are made of "lips and assholes".
You're a joy to watch, Dawn... love your reactions! 😘
"nice beaver!" is one of my all time favorite lines, up there with "say hello to my little friend" in Scarface and "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" in the Godfather lol
rip to the legend that is leslie nielson. one of my top 3 favorite comedians of all time
All the Weird Al comments mention his music, but where's the love for the movie "UHF"?
Saw it in the theater when it came out with my best friend. He and I still worship Weird Al.
TAPEHEADS with John Cusack and Tim Robbins (1988) is hilarious!
Love that movie… couple of jokes in it that some people might be sensitive about now, but oh well lol.
When O. J. was being pumped full of lead and flailing around painfully afterward, I flashed on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Tom Servo's commenting, "Joel, is it wrong for me to WANT to see this?" (It was for a completely different movie, but a perfectly applicable sentiment notwithstanding.) 😏 😕
OMG nearly fell off my chair it was just 2 Funny - NEW SUBSCRIBER
The Vaseline in the baseball hat would be used to “doctor” the baseball and make it move more deceptively when pitched, and thus harder for the batter to hit.
It makes the ball slip off the bat , making a solid hit almost impossible
It's one of the methods of ball tampering in cricket as well
@@nadronnocojr Ahhhh no.
When I was born in 1995, Weird Al was in town on tour,
& was at the hospital visiting sick kids,
& when I was born, he held me before my parents did. ❤
Priscilla is the wife and Lisa Marie is their daughter, though technically Priscilla had already divorced Elvis years earlier before this movie, but she kept the name.
Technically Elvis was dead since 11 years when this film came out
This film has two sequels that came out after this, those being "Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear" (1991), and "Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult" (1994). They're both pretty good as well.
Weird Al is an American treasure. He's been around for over 40 years now. His most recent really good song parodies are Tacky (Happy by Pharrell), Word Crimes (Blurred Lines) and White and Nerdy (Ridin' Dirty). 100% recommend.
I like 'Handy' too xD (thats 'Fancy' by Iggy Azalea) Im a glue dat glue dat
The "big pair" at 3:52 are the cooling towers at a decommissioned nuclear power plant (San Onofre) on the road between Los Angeles and San Diego, not far from where I live. One of the local breweries produces a beer named in its honor, "Nuclear Chi Chis".
The way you say “better” is so amazing! Could listen to your accent full time 🙂💓
it always makes me laugh how no one nowadays knows who the people are in the first scene
-Thye’re not here for you. Weird Al Yankovic is on the plane.
-Who?
Me-DA’H!!!!!!!! MY HEART!!!!!!! (THUD!)
Two things:
You’d enjoy Weird Al Yankovic’s movie UHF to react to.
Nordberg is played by the now infamous OJ Simpson, who was previously an NFL pro football player in the USA - if you know who he is I don’t need to explain, if you don’t, his murder trials and publicly viewed police pursuit are almost legendary, arguably resulting in the world having the Kardashian family foisted upon it.
This movie was before the murder, and was a flow on from the movie Airplane! that you watched where one of the supporting actors was Kareem Abdul Jabbar, a famous NBL pro basketball player, who was there because the movie Airplane! was parodying also had a pro sports player as a supporting actor.
Weird Al's movie "UHF" should be on your mission to laugh at silly movies.
Full of American pop culture references that may have to be explained to her.
“We don’t need no stinkin’ badgers!”
@@asterix7842 True but there's a lot of silly sight gags that Dawn would probably laugh at and isn't what this is all about?
@@Macdelaven You get to drink from the FIRE HOSE!
Dawn, there was a Naked Gun tv show, called Police Squad. With Leslie Nielsen. Same silliness. 😉
The TV show came first.
@@carm3d and was funnier!
@@vinnygi They were a little bit different in the humor.
I loved that series
I loved that series
This was one of my favourite films growing up. We used to recite these lines all the time 😊
Weird Al Yankovic is a musician who does parodies of hit songs. He was bigger in the 80’s, and his biggest hit was Eat It-which was a parody of Michael Jackson’s Beat It.
I remember this movie when it came out and how it was painful to watch as I just couldn't stop laughing all the time.
Have to watch the TV series as well.
Police Squad. 😊
Only 6 episodes.
This movie is so good! One of the best comedies ever. You'll have to watch multiple times to get every joke there are so many.
Seeing thumbnail I was like FINALLY!! XD
The Naked Gun? Finally babe! Thank you great reaction!
"Weird Al Yankovic is on the plane."
"Who?"
😲😲😲
I think we must all let Dawn Marie know: Weird Al does a different kind of music video altogether.
Who else thinks DM needs to do Weird Al reactions?
Your oldies must be models XD
It’s a natural progression from Airplane to Naked Gun. I remember Omar Sharif was in it!
For some context this film was based on a TV series called Police Squad. Hence the name of the film from the files of Police Squad. A lot of the jokes are taken from Police Squad. The show was canceled after one series of six episodes, which is criminal. The TV company thought people wouldn't watch it because you had to pay attention. So Zucker Abrahams Zucker decided to take all the material left for the second series and made it into The Naked Gun film. It was a huge hit and still to this day. I do recommend watching Police Squad it is well worth a watch. Considering how much you liked this film. Truly one of the best comedies ever made along with Airplane! It will never not make me laugh no matter how many times I watch them.
I grew up watching these films and I love how you love them even now after so many years. Comedy gold.
I love that all the comments are about Weird Al. Exactly why I scrolled down.
Also,, Another Classic For You & Your Daughter,, "THE INCREDIBLE MR. LIMPET"..A True Timeless Classic.
Priscilla Presley was about 45 in this, it was only 11 years after Elvis, her husband died. She looks way younger because... Hollywood.
I never noticed his hunch-back right in the opening sequence when he climbs over the table! I guess they had to keep him on a harness even for that sort of stunt for insurance purposes or his own safety request.
"Weird Al Yankovic is on the plane"
"Who?"
I died a little...
Yay, pretty Dawn reaction! Let's get it!!!!😎👀🍻🍷🚬💕
Last name pronounced the same as his brother Erik . 🤔
Yes I know that didn't help.
Love the way she says '33 and a third!' :)
Agreed. That accent is addicting to listen to so I keep watching
I just noticed that the mayor was the same person that played Tony's mom on The Sopranos.
"who" to Weird Al? That's a rabbit hole you need to go into.
If she doesn't know him, it's not likely she'll know the songs he parodies. His genius may be lost on her.
UHF
@@andrewcharles459 She could react to the original videos and then watch the Al versions. She may just become a fan.
"Nothing to see here" is my favorite gag in the whole movie.
Fun facts: The Naked Gun was a movie sequel to the short lived comedy show "Police Squad!" (1982) that also stared Leslie Nielsen. Most of the characters from the show (all but 3) was recast in the movies as the same characters, most notably: Captain Hocken (got recast to George Kennedy because the studio demanded a award winning actor in a leading role) and Detective Nordberg (who was white in the show but they thought would be hilarious if they recast him as a black man). Nordberg was in the movies played by the now infamous O. J. Simpson who was arrested for the murder of his wife the same year the 3rd movie was released.
Just like with Airplane! they chose mostly actors who hadn't done comedy before.
1st time watching your channel. 1st thing I noticed is how amazing your smile is, wow! Just lights up the room. 2nd , your reaction to the movie was so fun. Can't wait to see some of your other reactions. Keep smiling🤘🙂
Neat fact: Leslie Nielson's brother Erik was a politician in Canada eventually rising to be the Deputy Prime Minister
Isn't he the cutest comedian ever ? Nielsen is Debbin and Drebbin is Nielsen ... I love all the three movies. I have seen them many times and will see them many many times again. I am happy you have enjoyed watching it (tbh I expected that, because it is sooo pleasant to watch. Make sure to watch it again - you will always find something new to laugh at and with). Greetings from The Czech republic
Hello once again Dawn. You my dear are in for a treat. These movies are very funny!!! Frank has NO bedside manner, none!!! He is raw yet loveable.. This movie is full of one-liners and sign gags. This chase scene of Frank after the bad doctor is very funny!!! Just put your arm out of the window, and now extend your middle finger!!
Wait for the chewing tobacco part of the baseball game. Notice who all is chewing. Even the wives.... The movie is stupid, yet quite funny!!! I hope you liked it!!!! I am glad you are feeling better!!!
Re: The "5 gun vs 5 gun showdown", the trope is usually used to show that one group is cowardly (they give up), or that the other group doesn't actually want to fight (they drop their weapons & cooperate), or that the other group has a tactical advantage (they have bigger guns, or have armor/shields.)
Also, the thing with all the quotes in the credits, those are people who (generally) only had one line in the movie.
Probably the best scene in Saving Private Ryan.
You should watch Loaded Weapon, a similar type parody.
This is based on an older B&W sitcom, Police Squad, and the intro with the roof of the car was taken from that.
If I knew Weird Al was getting off a plane I'd be waiting there for him with flowers too.
If nobody has mentioned, the original 6 part TV show is an absolute must for you to see. Most of the jokes you see here were in the TV programmes. Leslie Nielsen was much funnier because he was so much more deadpan in those, but beware, the jokes come in so much quicker and sharper, especially the visual ones. Another little fact about the sequel movies. The third one, 33 1/3, is subtitles "The Final Insult". It was originally meant to be "Naked Gun 33 1/3, Just for the Record", but the executives wouldn't allow it.
Presilla is the mother of Lisa Marie, she was Elvis’ wife!
3:35 Love the luggage falling off the plane and missing the carriers!!
My auntie owns the house Leslie Nielsen lived in until he was about 4 years old,
in Regina, Canada
In the closing credits:
Mr. Weiss’s Divorce Attorney.
Set Painter _and_ Paint Setter.
In Case of Tornado - Southwest Corner of Basement.
"Weird Al Yankovic"
"Who?"
Holy shit. UHF. YOU MUST WATCH UHF
I can't wait till you do Naked Gun 3; I my opinion the funniest of the 3, and no one ever reacts to it.
Just checked Leslie Nielsen's career Dawn, really impressive spanned 60 years he made over a hundred films and 150 tv programs along with 220 characters served in the Canadian air force during the war. Talented man. Sadly died in 2010 aged 84
O.J. Simpson was great as Nordborg, in all these movies,
I think this is sillier than the "Airplane!" movie which had some smarter humor. The "Police Squad" series only lasted 6 episodes because the network thought people had to pay too much attention to get the jokes. All 6 are on You Tube as well some compilations of best moments. Also "Airplane II: The Sequel" is worth seeing, I don't think anyone has reacted to it yet.
Best joke from Police Squad: "Who are you and how did you get in here? "I'm the locksmith, and I'm the locksmith."
Enthusiastic seconding for Airplane II: The Sequel! I don't know why hardly anyone who has reacted to the first movie has given this one a go. Not only is it just as chock-full of gags as its forerunner, but also it contains one of William Shatner's greatest comedic performances!
By rights, this movie should have done for Shatner what its predecessor had done for Leslie Nielsen. Perhaps it was because Shatner was already a figure of fun (both for his acting and the alleged toupée), while Nielsen's successful comic turn came literally out of the blue.
That is, it would have, if Airplane! had been shot in daylight. 😁 😆
Not sure I agree that one's "sillier" or "smarter" than the other. They both have heaping helpings of both types of humour, which is the ZAZ trademark.
Airplane 2 sucks, don't waste your time.
Now you have to go down the Weird Al rabbit hole. He does have one starting movie, UHF, but primarily a musical parody artist.
Funny that opening scene. Leslie Nielsen was a Canadian.
The hypnotized baseball player was megastar Reggie Jackson, who actually did meet the Queen a few years later in a receiving line.
Haha. These movies are so funny.
Weird Al... "Who?"
A part of me just died.....
I'm loving your reactions, you really make me laugh.
And who else is doing the Monty Python TV series?
My dad worked (and eventually managed) a small engineering firm in West London. They made precision parts for all sorts of things, including the hydraulics on Concorde. But they also had some side projects: for example, they serviced those coin-in-the-slot telescopes you find at the seaside and other vantage points. And they also made candy floss machines!
One year, between years 1 & 2 of university, In think, I worked there for six weeks or so. I had two jobs: engraving product numbers on little tools that hoicked the gunk out of hydraulic valves; and endlessly testing the candy floss machines, tweaking the size of the holes so that the sugar came out right - basically I made candy floss all summer. Sweetest job I ever had.
2:35 An early scene in "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" answers that question quite nicely. Basically, it's a game of chicken, and the person most willing to risk the consequences (because of courage, stupidity, desperation, whatever) is the one who refuses to quit.
Few musicians have the music longevity, humor, and wit of Weird Al Yankovic. If you like "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun", then you'll love Weird Al's parodies that span over 40 years of American Pop music. Maybe try a few music video reactions. Quick, fun, and you can get away with the whole video.
