I don't think the problem with most modern remakes is that they didn't like the original. I think its often because they liked the original TOO MUCH and were scared of making changes that would offend its fanbase. See: the Robo-Cop remake and the King Kong remake for very good examples of this.
Speaking of the professor, I think more people identify with the Eddie Murphy version better than the original, a big guy trying lose weight to look better for the woman he loves. I get that many people are social awkward but when your both social awkward and overweight, it's even harder for someone to get a date!
It also works better as a statement on our society. Whilst both professors are academically brilliant, it counts for nought in a society that is very obsessed with image and presentation. To a casual observer, people would be less judgemental of the Lewis version, since a lot of his features are genetic, such as his teeth, his glasses, and his voice; they are beyond his control. But Murphy's version is one that invites a lot more criticism from the casual observer - his appearance is associated with laziness, gluttony, and a lack of self control, so many more people would be dismissive or hostile towards his plight, simply because of that. And it definitely has its roots in his own insecurities - after a lecture where he has made a bit of a fool of himself, he immediately tucks into a Snickers, it shows he does comfort eat, a natural reaction to being embarrassed. Where Lewis' insecurity only really manifests because of genuine bullies, like the student and the dean, Murphy's insecurity comes from a lot of people, not just the bullies.
The main reason this movie worked as a remake is because everyone involved looks like they LIKED the original and are simply adding a new twist - making the Eddie Murphy (who always respected Lewis) version an alternative instead of a replacement or improvement.The message I get from most remakes is, "We're too cool for the original; here's what they should've done the first time around."
+Paradox Acres Same here but then again the original was made in the 60s, a lot of films from before the 80s are not that well known and the ones that are are so because they are considered masterpieces or played a very important part in some regard.
+John Klein Don't you mean...a lot of films from before the 80s are not that well known...because you're relatively young? Kids these days...LOL!

+Paradox Acres It was mentioned but anyone old enough to know that already knew it. In other words, it wasn't news to the majority of the population. The original is a classic. That was the movie's initial audience.
Yes, he’s an homage to Jerry Lewis’ character. It’s fascinating how they in fact have low key satirization of this fact in the subtext of some Simpsons episodes involving the Professor.
@@hoofbeatsroku Oh yeah, I remember that moment in "Abe Simpson Vs. Sexual Inadequacy" where he took a sip of Abe's tonic and turned into a smooth swinger.
The 1996 remake was much more grounded in reality in regards to the torment and social alienation of being obese. It also satirises "quick-fix" solutions that fail.
The scene where he gets humiliated by the stand up comedian is quite touching, but it's ironic that Murphy did such a sad scene of a man getting ridiculed for his weight and then makes a film devoted to ridiculing fat people (Norbit).
Ehhh Norbit wasn’t so much making fun of Respushas weight so much as her horrible evil nature. I mean look st the mother from nutty P. She was fat and yet was nothing but warmth and love. It was really mocking Norbits utter lack of a spine. Being controlled utterly for DECADES!!! By this evil bitch
if that's what you got from Norbit then you didn't understand the movie also ain't nothing wrong making fun of fat people might make a few actually loose some god damn weight.
I kinda like the Lewis version better, at least with Buddy, cause the lack of confidence is a nice way of tying back to the frail Professor though not obvious
The new version relies too much on the fat suit, special effects and worn out fat jokes. I saw the Murphy version first and then watched the original. Despite having been watched second it still seemed less predictable and more creative. The fact that it was dated also helped as it gave it more of a sci-fi feel allowing you suspend disbelief and ignore some of the illogical scenarios.
@@conniethesconnie Eh, I like the Eddie version better. For me the final scene is what makes it good. I like the idea of an internal battle where Klump finally stops being a pushover and stands up to his alter ego, refusing to let a jerk like him live , and even though buddy love was about to vanish forever that last line "Nomatter what you got to strut" is a nice message to tell the audience that you have to be proud and confident in yourself. It's a nice twist that an antagonist gives the hero a message of hope before their demise.
@@AdiCool88 Much of the Simpsons characters come from other movie and tv characters LOL!

@@SuperMarioBrosIII 100% correct. I love it lol. It’s come full circle too because Jerry Lewis played as Professor Frink’s Father in Treehouse of Horror XIV. 🤣
What I love about the new version is that, like Jekyll and Hyde, the other personality starts as just the scientist with a different face, but starts to change the more he uses the drug. A real psychological idea
+Ben It basically is. If you take out the forced references to the first one, there's not a whole lot different about it compared to the first one, except for the fact that nothing about it is funny.
***** Russ, being a completly different character than he was in the original films? And basically acting exactly as his father did? It's a remake. It was probably written as a remake first, just changed around slightly to work in the son part so they can excuse any criticism of it being a sloppy remake by saying "WELL NO SEE IT'S ACTUALLY A SEQUEL!"
Would kinda weird. I wouldn’t chose to be with a self-centered person in bed, over the normal person you want. It seems more like she knows the value of his concoction so keeping the only supply is smart as she’s shown to be. Or, as someone who has seen how it works, possibly wants to try it herself as an experiment.
"Don't some of you wish you could do that to Dave Chappelle?" Way ahead of you, Critic. Only my line would be "Let me play you out!" followed by tossing him in the piano.
I have to admit that's one of the funniest moment I have to admit from the new Nutty Professor movie I have to admit one of the funniest moments I can tell of course. 😊😇
because lucys parents would not complain with a trumpet.... they would just suddenly drag him threw they streets tied to a horse like a horrible Japanese prank
It really is OBVIOUS from the voice. Funny enough, I can see the plot of the film happening in an episode of The Simpsons. It’s definitely something I can even see Professor Frink doing.
Dave Chappelle had good reasons to leave: 1) A lot of people were taking his jokes at face-value, to the point of Dave realizing he was becoming the very thing he was mocking, much to his horror and disgust. 2) Comedy Central execs were sticking their noses in where they didn't belong WAY too often for Chappele's liking. 3) Pressure to keep the show going, with the co-creator ignoring the above problems despite Chappelle's protests. 4) CC airing a bunch of "lost episodes" despite promising Chappelle that they wouldn't.
And now Comedy Central these days relies heavily on political comedy and a comedian who mocks other videos on the internet while re-doing some of them in his birthday suit as well as insulting people who are fans of certain things because he's a celebrity and he can do that.
The 1st one was honestly the straw that broke the Camel's back. I remember Chappelle after his "Hiatus" said about the show "People were laughing at the wrong things I wanted them to laugh at the Racists, instead they were laughing at the racism"

Don't worry, MythieTheReviewer. I'm geeky too when comes to things like this. For example, you hear very little about any of the kids parents. The only parents I heard mentioned in Peanuts was Linus and Lucy's and it was only in that one where Linus and Lucy briefly moved away. From there the only other adults mentioned were the teacher, the store clerk when Charlie Brown was buying gloves for Peggy Jean, and the adults Linus talked to when he and Charlie Brown looked practically the entire United States for a girl Charlie Brown saw in the crowd of a baseball game
2014 wasn't a remake, it was a sequel to the original like Godzilla 2000 and Godzilla 1985. It changed the origin, but otherwise took the same track as Godzilla 2000 in terms of alternate sequel.
Geoffrey Sorkin Actually Godzilla 2014 has no connections to the original 1954 movie. This is evidenced by the fact that the Legendary Godzilla never attacked Tokyo in 1954, as well as the fact that he’s had his powers since the time of his birth in the Permian Period instead of receiving them after being irradiated by H-bomb testing in the 1950s. Godzilla 2014, Kong: Skull Island, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters are all part of one separate universe and continuity.
Interesting how this is the only "Old vs. New" video where instead of having a character in the losing movie complain, it has a character from the winning movie saying something positive.
fun fact: there is also an animated version of the nutty professor that serves as an unofficial sequel with the main character being Harold kelp, the grandson of Julius kelp of the original film, voiced by drake bell. And yes that is as forgettable as it sounds.
I also think the fat suite helps in helping you to think they ARE two separate people, where the Lewis version is just a costume and hair change it is literally not possible that the Lewis versions’ love interest can’t see the prof. as buddy love it’s a costume change nothing more. But with murphy nobody could believe it’s the professor why, it takes YEARS to lose that kind of weight not 3 minutes or whatever it was
When he brought up the cool jerk, am I the only one who thought of Uncle Frank singing in the shower? GET OUTTA HERE YA NOSEY LITTLE PERVERT OR I'M GONNA SLAP YOU SILLY!
One common random ground: Both actresses who played Sherman/Julius's love interest went on to play characters who suffered painful unfortunate agonizing deaths: Stella Stevens: The Poseidon Adventure. Jada Pinkett Smith: Scream 2.
I agree about the ending undercutting the entire morale of the movie. Shortly after Miss Purdie says she wants Julius, she turns and we see the bottles in her back pocket, indicating that she wants both Julius and Buddy. Plus, the sequel to the Lewis movie shows that Buddy was a permanent part of Kelp (he switches between the two with no need to use the potion).
Murphy´s version was the "safe version" but for that it probably won as it was more consistent. It also had the correct amount of "rollercoaster". Meaning it played really well on the emotional side ( I believe I even got teary eyed during some moment of the film) and had enough slapstick to keep it a comedy, so it had a good balance of comedy with a message at the end of "be yourself". Kind of like a reverse romcom with emphasis on comedy so a comrom? On 2 days of a week, Lewis would win if you liked a certain element of a film more. It was more wild, it had more to it, more variation, obviously also being the source material. It did feel a little like Murphy´s version was the "original safe" choice and Lewis tried to one up it though by doing a rehash, not the other way around. Then again I saw Lewises version later than Murphys.
When I was 5, I saw Nutty Prof in the theater with my older sisters and a crowd of kids. The transformation scene caused half the kids to flee the theater in terror. No kidding. We were traumatized. My sister had nightmares for weeks.
When I was a kid, I first saw the Eddie Murphy version & thought that one was the original one whereas I would later watch the original one with Jerry Lewis & think that one was the remake.
Nobody ever comments on Lewis's family in the original. The flashback to the parents, and their role reversal at the end, we're my favourite scenes. ' Idiot! Can't you eat with your mouth closed?' ' Not until I get something in it Dearest ' LOVE that!
The irony is that your criticism of Buddy is exactly how he was supposed to be. You were supposed to know that something was off. Everybody did. But nobody in the film could identify just what was wrong. In the context of when the film was made it was exactly what should have been done. And student/teacher relationships were scrutinised a little differently. These were adults...not kids who could be intimidated by a bully teacher. Women/students weren't all victims. Today everybody seems to be a victim.
Something I love about these old OvN’s is that you can tell Critic really likes (if not loves) both versions of the movies (Willy Wonka vs. Charlie aside), and has fun comparing them. The newer OvN’s don’t, they just feel like Critic is liking one thing the other and complaining about the other. Another person has to give out the positives for the original.
ajmrowland It was recently taken down to make more room for other shows and movies. It tells how the son, from the first nutty professor, is under going the same challenges his father went through. And his persona is Buddy jr.
I remember I watched this movie with my parents at the theater when I was 7 years old and that "Godzilla" dream scene of the professor turning giant and attacking buildings gave me nightmares for a very long time.
Given how much he harps on Eddie Murphy, I honestly expected him to show bias towards the Jerry Lewis version, like what he did with the Willy Wonka movies
Well you can argue Buddy or Sherman’s own insecurity is the antagonist/villain. Both provide obstacles for the main character. I don’t know maybe I’m splitting hairs.
Old vs New episodes I wish Doug had done: Charlotte’s Web (1973 animated vs 2006 live-action) The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1988 BBC miniseries vs 2005 Walden Media & Disney film) Little Shop of Horrors (1960 Roger Corman film vs 1986 Frank Oz musical) Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956 vs 1978) Imitation of Life (1934 vs 1959) Seven Samurai (1954) vs The Magnificent Seven (1962)
The reason this remake worked is because it showed they LIKED the original. I don't get that vibe from the numerous other remakes since then.
Ward Payne ocean's eleven?
Billy Mcjoebick well there's always exceptions
And they actually knew why the story worked and even improved on it. Other remakes prefer to dumb down everything.
Not to mention that Jerry Lewis, who starred in the original film was on board as a writer.
I don't think the problem with most modern remakes is that they didn't like the original. I think its often because they liked the original TOO MUCH and were scared of making changes that would offend its fanbase. See: the Robo-Cop remake and the King Kong remake for very good examples of this.

I get that many people are social awkward but when your both social awkward and overweight, it's even harder for someone to get a date!
Emanuel Rojas Well the same could be said for someone who's socially awkward and physically weak in size and strength.
I think they both comment on which was harder in the time of their release.
Classy Doctor yeah, but being weak can be fixed more easily than being morbidly obese. One can take a couple of months, the other will take years.
It also works better as a statement on our society. Whilst both professors are academically brilliant, it counts for nought in a society that is very obsessed with image and presentation. To a casual observer, people would be less judgemental of the Lewis version, since a lot of his features are genetic, such as his teeth, his glasses, and his voice; they are beyond his control.

Yea....Chappelle stopped his show because the whole point of it went over the heads of everybody.
I gotta give it to Mr. Lewis. What a spectacular performance.
One common random ground:
Both actresses who played Sherman/Julius's love interest went on to play characters who suffered painful unfortunate agonizing deaths:
Stella Stevens: The Poseidon Adventure.
Jada Pinkett Smith:
Scream 2.
Jerry Lewis...is dead?!
Poever Yes, I'm afraid so.
I wanna check out the Jerry Lewis version now
+Kelsey Menges Glad you like Gloomy Doom.
digitivortex Youre like the third one on my comments that pointed it out lol.:)

Nostalgia critic has done a LOT of stuff, man. I bet before he dies, he will think only of Family, Friends and RUclips.

Anyone watching this in honor of Jerry Lewis? Well I am. Thumb up if you want to honor him.
I honored Jerry Lewis because nobody can’t beat the classics
R.i.p., mr. Lewis!
In back to the future, doc brown jokes that Jerry Lewis is vice president to ronald reagan!
Lol!
i honor Jerry Lewis too
I think the ending joke could've been a little funnire if Patty's parents were actually complaining.
Lucy was the bigger *itch than peppermint patty
Aye Wasn't expecting JonMastu to be here XD
I agree about the ending undercutting the entire morale of the movie. Shortly after Miss Purdie says she wants Julius, she turns and we see the bottles in her back pocket, indicating that she wants both Julius and Buddy. Plus, the sequel to the Lewis movie shows that Buddy was a permanent part of Kelp (he switches between the two with no need to use the potion).
16:13, I was waiting for that scene :P
when Dave was telling the jokes about Murphy I wanted to just reschedule out and give him a hug my vote for character is Eddie
0:40 that’s as rare in Hollywood as an good sequel.
Jerry Lewis has a special place in my rose tinted nostalgia goggles and I can't help but love the old one more.
Murphy´s version was the "safe version" but for that it probably won as it was more consistent. It also had the correct amount of "rollercoaster". Meaning it played really well on the emotional side ( I believe I even got teary eyed during some moment of the film) and had enough slapstick to keep it a comedy, so it had a good balance of comedy with a message at the end of "be yourself". Kind of like a reverse romcom with emphasis on comedy so a comrom?
On 2 days of a week, Lewis would win if you liked a certain element of a film more. It was more wild, it had more to it, more variation, obviously also being the source material. It did feel a little like Murphy´s version was the "original safe" choice and Lewis tried to one up it though by doing a rehash, not the other way around. Then again I saw Lewises version later than Murphys.
'"let me get my clarinet so we can have a proper conversation," CLARINET!!!!
When I was 5, I saw Nutty Prof in the theater with my older sisters and a crowd of kids. The transformation scene caused half the kids to flee the theater in terror. No kidding. We were traumatized. My sister had nightmares for weeks.
Which one the Lewis or Murphy version
Story - Jerry Lewis
Supporting cast - Jerry Lewis
Main character - Jerry Lewis
Winner - Jerry Lewis
He truly is squidward 17:04
When I was a kid, I first saw the Eddie Murphy version & thought that one was the original one whereas I would later watch the original one with Jerry Lewis & think that one was the remake.
@6:04-6:10
NC: Explain Movie, EXPLAIN!!
(Tiny Micro Nuke Happens on his head)
NC: Oh Good, that was just a Little one.
Nobody ever comments on Lewis's family in the original. The flashback to the parents, and their role reversal at the end, we're my favourite scenes. ' Idiot! Can't you eat with your mouth closed?' ' Not until I get something in it Dearest ' LOVE that!
I think when she blurs out it means that he’s not listening
I think Peppermint Patty and Doug Dated
Well it would explain his distaste for her
+Jimmy Estrada Wouldn't it be funny if Doug ws in the Peanuts movie? :)
No that was Patty Mayonnaise....
Terrible joke I know
+YBH If you hadn't said it, I would've.
Omg I was looking for this
The irony is that your criticism of Buddy is exactly how he was supposed to be. You were supposed to know that something was off. Everybody did. But nobody in the film could identify just what was wrong. In the context of when the film was made it was exactly what should have been done. And student/teacher relationships were scrutinised a little differently. These were adults...not kids who could be intimidated by a bully teacher. Women/students weren't all victims. Today everybody seems to be a victim.
I can already tell that neither the original nor the remake are hard to choose.
Yeah. I actually laughed out loud when Jerry jumped away.
That was great.
The Nutty Professor Franchise (1963-present)
Box Office: $856.8 million

Oh, Hi, Benzaie !
... Watcha' doin' out of the Hard Corner ?
(If you're not french, you probably won't get that)
I haven't seen the original in so long, I really need to revisit it.
Something I love about these old OvN’s is that you can tell Critic really likes (if not loves) both versions of the movies (Willy Wonka vs. Charlie aside), and has fun comparing them. The newer OvN’s don’t, they just feel like Critic is liking one thing the other and complaining about the other. Another person has to give out the positives for the original.
I had a highschool science teacher who was bullied into quitting, he only worked here for a year.
"Thank you very much I'm fatter
Flattered"
-Eddie Murphy
Both are still better than the god forsaken Netflix remake
Reymundo Arellano There's a Netflix remake?
ajmrowland It was recently taken down to make more room for other shows and movies. It tells how the son, from the first nutty professor, is under going the same challenges his father went through. And his persona is Buddy jr.
+Reymundo Arellano
That sounds atrocious.
Reymundo Arellano And somehow they got jerry Lewis back for those movies.
The new one wins because of the professor's family.
"hold on let me get my clarinet so we can hold a proper conversation!"
I would ask for an old Vs. new Annie, but there is no point, the newest one is an abomination. Maybe do a "The Haunting" style old vs. new, lol
He already made a review of "The Haunting" (1999).
I remember I watched this movie with my parents at the theater when I was 7 years old and that "Godzilla" dream scene of the professor turning giant and attacking buildings gave me nightmares for a very long time.
Given how much he harps on Eddie Murphy, I honestly expected him to show bias towards the Jerry Lewis version, like what he did with the Willy Wonka movies
Well you can argue Buddy or Sherman’s own insecurity is the antagonist/villain. Both provide obstacles for the main character. I don’t know maybe I’m splitting hairs.
Do an old vs new for Beauty and the beast
I prefer the Eddie Murphy one
Old vs New episodes I wish Doug had done:
Charlotte’s Web (1973 animated vs 2006 live-action)
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1988 BBC miniseries vs 2005 Walden Media & Disney film)
Little Shop of Horrors (1960 Roger Corman film vs 1986 Frank Oz musical)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956 vs 1978)
Imitation of Life (1934 vs 1959)
Seven Samurai (1954) vs The Magnificent Seven (1962)
Wow I never knew nutty professor was a reboot
Yes, that was the best come back ever!!!... I feel so god every time I watch it.
That ending though... "WHO TALKS LIKE THAT?!?"
According to the late great Schultz, as a kid we often saw parent talk as gibberish
Eddie Murphy never would have made his film if the Lewis version hadn't been so beloved. Points to Lewis for originality.
Yet when people say Nutty Professor, we think of Eddie's
Eddie loved the film. He has said it was the 1 film that made him want to be a comedian
13:00 OMG Professor Frink
2:49 The hardcorner in a nostagia critic video !? WOW 😂
Dawn of The Dead on Old Vs New please.
another good one
