So. The movie creators won a lottery and decided that they wanted to create a movie based off the comic cause it was funny. So without telling the actual creator, the two have decided to make a parody by playing it absolutely straight. Next I would like to see is JonTron’s “Steven Seagal” also known as IRL HERCULE SATAN
Yeah, these guys knew exactly what they were doing, and the crazies never suspected a thing. It is 100% self aware. They work in all kinds of references like "attack the darkness" and even straight-up lift a conversation from the Tom Hanks starred scare flick, "Mazes and Monsters." 13:03 "Mazes and Monsters is a far-out game... swords, poison... spells... battles, maiming, killing!" "Hey, it's all imagination!" "...IS it?" ...And here's the original... ruclips.net/video/nFIWUYr0n10/видео.html
Even the "shadow" bit is a reference to their own fan film series called The Gamers. Gamers 2 is actually legit and a really fun watch with a notably higher production value and blending both actual irl players with in-game shenanigans.
Oh, this thing. Even with Jon's jokes, the actual movie footage was so draining that I had to take an hour break in the middle of the video the first time I watched it. There's only such much completely irrational garbage that I can listen to before I snap, you know?
You know the movie crrators were making fun of the sauce material thats why they git some dnd terms acurate they actualy played the game the crrator of the comic was too stupid realise the films satire of him
@@demonic_myst4503Yup. For anyone interested, the D&D fan film called The Gamers (and Gamers 2) is made by them. And the "shadow" bit in this movie is a reference to a recurring joke in their Gamers films.
@@demonic_myst4503 See, that's the thing, yes, I know the people who made this were being satirical. Problem is I remember the "Satanic Scare" episode of DnD when I was a kid, and because of what people were actually claiming about DnD back then, I can 100% believe someone would have made this movie completely seriously as is.
16:35 well the arabic was gibberish, but the text about something that not dead and have the capacity to exist is supposed to be this line from hp Lovecrafts Tales of the Cthulhu ((That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die)) but i guess it was lost in the translation XD
I’m actually trying to start a dnd group rn, and I only heard about the “Satanic Panic” a few years ago. Did you know a kid was arrested because he was accused of killing his friend who actually died and he said he wanted to kill him, but he was talking about killing his friend in a dnd campaign?
If it makes you feel any better when I was in Disneyworld in February. I walked by the castle and there were a couple of women in costumes and I asked my friend “what princesses are they?” And my friend laugh and said “they’re the evil step sisters”
You know people show the true depth of their ignorance when they lump Tolkien and C. S. Lewis with the occult. Not only are there Christian themes and ideologies in the Narnia books, but Lewis converted to Christianity through Tolkien (who the two were good friends at the time). In fact, Tolkien (being Roman Catholic) based some of most famous works on religious beliefs. But, simply because there’s use of magic in the story is enough for individuals to throw up their hand decrying hoe the books are “teaching witchcraft, turn our children gay, and send them straight to hell!”
They somehow don't notice that in one book the enemy's greatest weapon is an object of temptation or in the other that a lion dies for a sinner and comes back to life.
When I first saw this video, I thought he was talkinng about my favorite video game of all time, Darkest Dungeon. Then I found out he wasn't and I got sad.
I'm pretty sure the D&D group I played with during highschool had all watched this video, and it's probably one of the reasons why it existed at all. The DM loved JonTron references
Next Week Start Summer With JonTron Fitness Videos!!!! 'Weird Workout Videos' is the oldest workout one and one of the most insane... though Regis and OJ tried.
The fun part about the movie is that it was bring played so straight because it was being satirical. The bit with "the shadow" is a running gag the guys who made it have across their movies.
I don't know if they explain this but the movie was done by Zombie Orpheus who did a few other movies based around Tabletop RPGs, I highly recommend The Gamers and The Gamers 2. They love Tabletop RPGs and the fact that they not only made this as a satire, but got the actual rights and seal of approval from Chick himself is hilarious as hell X)
As a RPGer myself, I can confirm that the events portrayed are 100% accurate. Few people talk about the narrowly-avoided Cthulhu uprising of the 1970s, but we're still trying to make it happen!
I sometimes seen those comics left behind at grocery stores, public bathrooms, and laundry mats. It clearly made by a fundamental Christian and it says stuff you must only read the King's James version of the Bible and nothing else. It also says Harry Potter fans going to hell, the Catholic church is run by the devil, and a ton of tin foil hat conspiracy. So this movie was a good adaption of those books.
The creators were actually mocking the idea of D&D being evil when they made this. In an interview, they were asked why they made a 1 to 1 adaptation if it was supposed to be a parody. They said that the original was so ridiculous that nothing they did would be funnier than just adapting it as is.
You played DND? Cool do you remember what class or race you played? for my friend DND it was set in 1940's America and I was a Half-Elf Paladin that acted like the people who made this movie. I had a police baton and a shotgun.
6:43 Why does that sound oddly personal to you? 16:05 Oh no, Duck no, that's from Cinderella Fun fact: When D&D first came out the big religious figures actually thought this is what RPGs did to kids. They made accusations that it promoted witchcraft & demon worship, & drove people to unaliving themselves & others.
The only good thing about this movie, unless you're a fan of cringe and then the whole thing is great for you, is that the girl with the glasses was actually really cute.
I literally just finished running my D&D game, and now i see this video on my timeline ? Are you trying to tell me something ? lol Also to answer your question... yes all D&D eventually leads to Cthulhu in some way or another (and im not just saying that cause the main villain of my campaign is practically a Cthulhu figure).
John 3: 19 -- and this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Im only like 9 minutes into the video, but it already seems they don't even know what "RPG" actually means. They haven't said it ONCE, but they sure love to spam the acronym edit: nvm they do, they're self-aware edit edit: holy pissaroli, a Lovecraft reference!!11!1!!! really butchered the quote tho. As a professional nerd, I am compelled to fix it: "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange eons even death may die"
So there are a bunch of movies trying to demonize dungeons and dragons. Some where christian thumpers thinking their work would scare off kids from playing the game, some where people making movies to mock the first people. Mazes and Monsters, Dark Dungeons, and Skullduggery (1983) to name a few. The problem is that these movies were hilariously bad. If anything they do the opposite of their intention, and were largely ridiculed.

I mean, you can see it on the actors' performances that none of them took the material seriously, which makes it even more fun to watch.
I feel like there was some money funny business going on

My discord server runs a pretty decent DND game I hear, viktor is the DM if you’re interested
This movie was definitely made to parody the comic. Jack t. Chick was just too old to recognize it when he approved it.
That’s so evil but funny
21:20 - Nevermind that JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis were both devout christians, lol
16:15 I knew you weren't gonna understand the reference... but that doesn't make that statement any less _painful._
It's Cinderella, btw.
If it makes you feel any better when I was in Disneyworld in February. I walked by the castle and there were a couple of women in costumes and I asked my friend “what princesses are they?” And my friend laugh and said “they’re the evil step sisters”

*never heard of Chick Tracts*
Awesome. Let's keep it that way.
*thinks "Bibbidi, Babiddi, Boo" comes from DBZ*
Oof. We need to fix that.
Too bad mooing moon ducks have a huge fear of cartoon rodents.
And musicals.
You might have seen them in a public restroom at least once, a lot of people don't know what they're called.
I'm pretty sure the repeated utterance of "The Shadow" was a reference to another short film, "The Gamers".
Same group :)
I sometimes seen those comics left behind at grocery stores, public bathrooms, and laundry mats. It clearly made by a fundamental Christian and it says stuff you must only read the King's James version of the Bible and nothing else.

Yes, Arabic viewer here. She said a bunch of gebrish bullshit XD
16:17 I wonder if those guys are the reference to something else, maybe something Disney
Apparently it’s Cinderella!
You played DND? Cool do you remember what class or race you played?
for my friend DND it was set in 1940's America and I was a Half-Elf Paladin that acted like the people who made this movie. I had a police baton and a shotgun.
Are you ready to R P G!?
Motherf**ker, I was born ready!
RPG RPG RPG...
Well, if you say so!
*ALLAHU AKBAR!*
6:43 Why does that sound oddly personal to you?
16:05 Oh no, Duck no, that's from Cinderella
Fun fact: When D&D first came out the big religious figures actually thought this is what RPGs did to kids. They made accusations that it promoted witchcraft & demon worship, & drove people to unaliving themselves & others.
I remember having friends in school and their parents wouldn’t let them play yugioh or Pokémon for reasons like that
The only good thing about this movie, unless you're a fan of cringe and then the whole thing is great for you, is that the girl with the glasses was actually really cute.
Fun fact: The teacher’s lines were also in Mazes and Monsters, another anti DND game
As usual my vote is for Howling 2 lol
Also this movie is rough to sit through, but at least Jon makes it bearable
I literally just finished running my D&D game, and now i see this video on my timeline ? Are you trying to tell me something ? lol
Also to answer your question... yes all D&D eventually leads to Cthulhu in some way or another (and im not just saying that cause the main villain of my campaign is practically a Cthulhu figure).
Needs more Cthulhu
I hear you like Cthulhu, so we put Cthulhu in your Cthulhu so you can Cthulhu while you Cthulhu.
author: makes a book inspired by catholicism with a good moral message.
The baptist church: THIS IS EEEEEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIIIIIL!!!!!!!!!
John 3: 19 -- and this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Yeah Duck. I felt the same way watching this. I know, my dude. Because I came from the background that would have shown this to us, unironically.
Yes one of my favorite jon tron video
21:29 I've never seen Game Of Thrones...
2:05 umm aksualy Nebraska has 1.9 million people in it
There’s no way
I've been waiting for this one
Im only like 9 minutes into the video, but it already seems they don't even know what "RPG" actually means. They haven't said it ONCE, but they sure love to spam the acronym

16:05 its cinderella, have you not seen that either?
Nope
I'm not syre if you do video recommendations but I would love if you watched Wambu's Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion Specimens Ranked.
Wait you mentioned Yu-Gi-Oh. Have you seen Yu-Gi-Oh abridged?
Yep there’s a whole playlist on my channel

day 87 of asking for a martincitopants reaction
11:18
So few people get this reference. It makes me feel old lol
Same... everybody knew that one back in the day...
