- Dan's back! Everybody, Dan's back! Go Crazy! Alright, calm down.
It's murder most foul! A cacophony of crime! A Monty Python of ending retcons! The three guys talk about 1985's Clue and how(s) it holds up and hows it don't for an hour and a half. Abe tries to get them to dissect the jokes. They're all into Tim Curry and Martin Mull (spoilers). You'll have to listen to the episode to hear whether or not it was developed around Tim Curry or not and how his role was crafted. Also, the hosts kill each other right after the podcast! They're dead now! No more podcasts! It was Michael with the gun in the microphone!

The world needs more Daniel O'Brien
Thinkdeep420 He writes for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Oh, I thought that was DOB introducing her fabulous transition into Danielle 💋 a few months into her post-op hormonal treatment. John Oliver and his marauding pack of rabid libtards had their way with our boy and we just have to accept it.
He has a podcast with Soren called quick questions if you are interested
@@omg_look_behind_you "John Oliver and his marauding pack of rabid libtards"
Sigh. SMH
There are episodes of Last Week Tonight that sound just like Daniel O'Brien. So I agree.
Part of DOB's plan to become Spider-Man involves de-aging himself to highschool age, as evidenced by his voice in this podcast.
Literally sounded like a different person.
Maybe the audio got processed weird and pitchy, cuz yeah, I had no idea it was him despite being told several times. I was like “well clearly this is a different DOB”.
From Daniel O'Brien to Deanie O'Beanie
Tim Curry, man. Cannot say enough good things about Tim Curry. I'm so sad that he had that stroke and doesn't get to enjoy his older years as well as he deserves.
Yes, for a long time I was mystified that he wasn't in the Psych Clue reunion as he had been on the show before, but it wasn't until later that I read that he had a stroke and it all made sense.
I'm very sad that he doesn't get to live out his years to their full extent. He's brought so much to so many people, he deserves better than he got.
Another piece of Clue Trivia - during the editing process the Writer/Director realized that the 'three endings in three theatres' was going to be a disaster, so he cut together the '3 versions' ending that the movie currently has. He attempted to convince Landis and the studio that the audience was going to hate feeling like they missed something, and to just send the 'all 3' cut to theatres. They went with the gimmick, and the film did not do well. They were so set on the gimmick, in fact, that when the movie first played on HBO, it was still just 'one ending' - although in the guide, they were nice enough to list which ending it was, A, B, or C. The 'all 3' ending didn't get used until the home video release.
Murder by Death would be the closest comparison to the Clue movie.
Always a pleasure to catch the notorious DOB
Agents Of Cracked was my introduction to DOB and Micheal Swaim back when you had to watch the videos on the Cracked website. Man those were the golden days of Cracked TBH. 😎
DOB! Daniel the Maniel O'Brien!
Danuel the Maniel
@@JoeFF85 I fixed it.
A Lion!
Ol' Splashmouth
Swear to god, this is my first small beans video so that intro was gold. Not new to these guys tho, been a fan for years, pretty sure Daniel is my spirit animal.
MURDER BY DEATH!
I'm so surprised it was never mentioned because they're speculating so much about the context of the film and why it was the way it was, and so much of it is extremely similar to Murder By Death. The opening part, the mystery, the characters, the cast, the house, the comedy, all clearly inspired by Murder By Death. Eileen Brennan is even a main character in both films!
DOB's wild Encyclopedia Brown reference made my day
The lines, “flames...flames on the side of my face,” was a direct impression of an Aspirin (?) commercial that had once aired. You can’t find any record of the ad campaign on the internet, but when we first watched the movie, my mom recognized it immediately.
Abe: There's a bit in the beginning
Dan: Yeah and it's perfect
Daniel, I love everything you do and I wish you did this more often playing off micheal. This is weird, but I've been watching you since you started at cracked, and I love it that I can hear DOB lines in last week tonight.
I'm glad you guys chose this movie. Clue was a favorite of my whole family for a long time. I watched it first at a holiday get-together and they showed it to us kids. It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, I love it :) All the actors seemed to be on point and hilarious, especially Tim Curry.
If you hit the Tim Curry IMDb page, you see that he voiced the villain for nearly countless cartoons and Saturday Morning live action kids shows. His performances are always amazing. Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates was the one that cemented my appreciation for the guy from Rocky Horror and Clue.
I love how they play with the "Dan doesn't talk till he's introduced " thing.
It's an amazing bit of teasing DOB and it's always funny
@@newflesh666 the whole time Swaim was doing the "Laaaaaaazy intro..." thing I just pictured DOB shuffling papers and turning a little red.
I always thought the Michael McKean twist was just meant as basically, "Y'all know nothing about me, I was doing a bit the whole time."
I liked it when it came out in theaters. But my town has a $1 cinema and they got all three endings so for $3 in the hot ass summer, you could sit in AC for about 6 hours eating and drinking free refills on popcorn and soda, and watch 3 really good endings. It is a great show.
Wow absolutely no dislikes. I never see that on the youtubes. Cool beans. Cracked is back and not too bad but we all know that crack died when these guys left. Im just happy i can still get my dose of swaim.
The film was, in fact, conceived as a showcase for Tim Curry. The Writer/Director had him in mind when writing the part, and had to fight the studio to get a basically unknown actor the lead in the ensemble comedy.
I've always held this belief for Clue: only watch it with sincerity twice, first for the first time when it's all new and you don't know all the twists and jokes, the second time to see if you can pick up clues along the way. Otherwise you just need to relax and enjoy it, every time after that second time you already know what happened, you just want to revisit the memories
I was delighted the first time I saw Leslie Ann Warren and Martin Mull on Community, which sees them playing Britta's parents. #SixSuspectsAndABody
I love DOB. After watching him on Cracked for so many years I can hear his writing voice in last week tonight. I'm happy he is doing so well
I'm a bit younger than these guys. I grew up with a clue dvd. and I loved it. and even to this day I enjoy it, even though I know it's not a great movie, I still enjoy it.
That moment I find out Daniel was in a band, after watching the guy for years. And that he played Asbury Park, but only after it'd been cleaned up.
Holy crap, you guys are young.
This was posted on my birthday and even though I didn't see it til like a month later, I'm considering it a gift specifically for me anyway
Daniel's voice sounds so odd on this video, definitely a different mic than the cracked days. Miss you Dan.
RIGHT?! For the first two minutes I thought it was a joke or an impostor.
@@lexidso7862 Yep, like when he fake it to be soren in another episode. Sounds like a young DOB.
Hasbro had one great idea...cross promote toys using comic books AND cartoons. It was the perfect storm because Reagan had gotten rid of some law about children's programming that banned such practices. I went from Speed Racer to Starblazers to 30 minute commercials for plastic toys. Yes, the 80's were the wild west in that regard...GI Joe, Transformers, Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears, Silver Hawks, Thundercats, Bravestar, Gobots, Jem and the Holograms and several more.
Daniel "MacDaddy" Obrien. My boy! Miss you man
I can't believe none of the guys mentioned the hilarious bit about adding up the number of gunshots. Classic Curry.
I remember seeing it in the theater and loving the idea of the different endings. This was before the internet, so it was fun to talk to friends and eventually find out what the other endings were.
For the record: Clue is called Clue in Canada.
The male Dan O'Brien impersonator was a little off, but certainly did their research
Who immediately went and watched DOB's band videos the moment he mentioned the band's name
can you link me plz????????
@@Irishprice1 ruclips.net/video/Y5Ng9eQA21w/видео.html
Here is the link to the one I watched but just look up lunch money criminals and you will find the rest of the songs there are more uploaded on RUclips.
Listening to the way these comedians describe Clue, all I can think of is..."That is how much Agents of Cracked" meant to me. I saw "Agents of Cracked" and a) was relieved to find others found the same things funny I did and b) was humbled to see people execute comedy so purely and exceptionally. Never seen Clue I just miss you guys
Yeah- I'm not even going to lie, Clue is just as good to me now as it was then, but I was LITTLE when I saw it the first time. I partially saw Legend in the movies (I was 7 and got so hysterical at the unicorn stuff at the start we had to leave, though later I wish I had stayed)- and I honestly don't remember which I saw first- but when my mom told me the Devil in Legend was the same as "the butler" in Clue- I still remember my brain melting.
I've absolutely have loved Tim Curry since Clue- he's always been the best part of anything I've seen him in- he throws himself so completely into everything. Wadsworth would have been SO easy to fuck up, he played it perfectly... and EVERY time it gets to him doing the "I had to make her stop screaming" line- I will laugh outloud just like I did the first time...
I have a theory for why they softened the line into "I'm going home to make love to my wife" or whatever he said instead of "fuck."
When it was released in theaters, you only got one random ending. If the only instance of the word "fuck" was only in 1/3 random versions of the film, that could have affected the rating in a strange way. Like, the movie would be both rated PG and R (I think this was before PG13).
I'd like to thank Daniel O'Brien for pronouncing Nevada correctly.
Haven't even listened yet, but I am so pumped!
One of my favorite pieces of Tim Curry media is the audiobooks of the Abhorsen series by Garth Nix, he absolutely chews it up.
I absolutely need to check that out
I'm crushed that you guys are so down on Legend.
Just went to check out Lunch Money Criminals. Crushing so hard on DOB
Whew! It was driving me nuts, but yes! They do finally acknowledge that they are watching “The HBO cut” with all three endings at like 35mins in! I was getting worried! 😄
I enjoyed this! Swaim, DOB and Abe together again! The only problem is that I now not only want rewatch Clue, but also Agents of Cracked, the Rugrats and Wild Thornberries cross over, the tribute to Clue episode of psych with Christopher Lloyd, Martin Mull, Leslie Ann Warren, but not Tim Curry, the episode of Psych WITH Tim Curry, Knives Out... Let's see, what else....
Deenie O' Beenie. My man.
•Obligatory note that Dan sounds super weird. Took me a minute to even believe it was him.
•I do come across a shocking number of people who have never seen this film, but I’ve never heard anyone say they hated it. I adore it, personally, and will rewatch it at every opportunity.
•According to IMDb, Lee Ving was cast exactly because of his punny name.
•The evidence they were being blackmailed with was in an envelope. The solution never was.
•You absolutely need all three endings. They all build on each other, and it bothers me that the DVD even offers the option to show you only one at random. When you choose to watch all three, it still pauses for a second when you get to that point in the film as the player sorts out what to show you. It’s a small thing, but still a notable detriment to every viewing. I’m glad I can just stream it now.
•Growing up, it took me forever to even notice the dog shit bit. I do appreciate it now, but I still need to poke a hole in Dan’s defence of it. Tim Curry specifically states that all the windows have bars, and when Mr Boddy tries to smash through the conservatory, a Doberman jumps against the glass. Not even the same dog, which I always found strange.
•This was always on my shortlist of films that should NEVER be remade, so I hate that it now is. I will probably (eventually) see it anyway, just to know, but I am perfectly prepared, and even expecting to walk away and immediately pretend it doesn’t exist.
•After seeing Daniel slowly devolve into madness over jigsaw puzzles on Twitter, I started cackling hysterically as soon as he brought them up now.
It's just Clue in Canada, too.
Weird tangent you might get a kick out of: my favorite character from Clue the board game was Ms. Scarlet because she was my favorite character, so when I saw the the movie I got really mad when I saw the ending where Ms. Scarlet committed all the murders
She was your favorite character because she was your favorite character? Lol she was like everyone’s favorite because she was the hot one and she also just looked cool (this is the original I’m talking about because I think they changed their looks later on). Everyone else was unattractive.
Clue is a masterpiece. No one in my life agrees with me on that but it’s a masterpiece.
This is my favorite movie to watch when im sick
Y'all ever catch Murder by Death? Parodying a parody is high art.
i liked the part where they basically eulogized tim curry. and like YES pretty much everyone in the USA has seen SOMETHING with tim curry and appreciated it. and one they didnt mention but it's probably because theyre old is that tim curry voice nigel thornberry aka the guy with the big nose and red hair and the "nyeehhsss" voice that became a meme a few years back on tumblr from superimposing his face on gifs.
so even the gen z kids will at least recognize tim from something or other.
EDIT: i JUST hit 1:15:00 yes DOB mentions wild thornberrys. thanks a lot dan i almost felt cool for a whole video!
What a great cast! So much funny
DOB! DOB! DOB!
The original board game was developed in the UK and was called Cluedo but when Parker Brothers bought it for distribution in the US they changed the name to Clue.
Cluedo is a pun - Ludo means game in Latin. Clue + Ludo = Cluedo
The primary thing that appears to have been lost on all of you is that this is a parody of classic murder mysteries - specifically Agatha Christie's 10 Little Indians, which is the best selling mystery of all time. Searching the mansion in pairs, looking for a murderer among a party of strangers (comprised of disparate individuals) and most importantly the exposition by one person at the end to the group are all directly taken from 10 little Indians as well as others (House on Haunted Hill featuring Vincent Price also follows this format closely). If you watch the 1965 film adaptation of 10 Little Indians you'll get a lot more of the parody. Also, all of the stabs at communism and politics was a 80's tounge-in-cheek look at the 50's McCarthy era content in classic film in the US, not heavy handed politics. As a fan of classic mystery and comedy this movie marries all of the things I love. It is incredibly witty fast paced. There are so many little jokes, it stands up to repeated viewings.
I think a lot of the movie is lost on a generation that is unaware of what is being parodied, but the fact that young people still enjoy it in spite of that shows its real genius. I watched an exposition on Blazing Saddles that explained the same thing to me, I was too young to understand that Hollywood had been inundated with Westerns and Mel Brookes was lampooning an entire era that existed before I was born, but I loved that movie anyway.
Listening to this in Astoria, OR: home of The Goonies.
BTW, it was Martin Mull... Col. Mustard the whole time.... it was his house.
I love this film it is clearly a take off on classic British murder mysteries like those Agatha Christie made famous. Even it's slow begin is well known part of those classic mystery, the idea is get a feel for the characters and drop small clues before the body drops. There is pick a random ending option on the DVD of this movie so you really don't have to do all the ends.which is what I do when I watch it.
So I think they must've had like a thing about wanting this movie to be like punk rock comedy because the Singing Telegram is also Jane Wiedlin from the Go-Go's.
It's a lazy rainy day here so it's perfect =P
That John Morris score is iconic as fuck and a harbinger of Danny Elfman's work.
Also did Blazing Saddles and the Producers. I'm only half way through. Maybe you get to it?
“THIS IS WAR PEACOCK!” come on, you have to be on board with absurd ridiculousness
My family loves Mel Brooks movies, and basically all Madeline Kahn and Tim Curry movies. So, Clue is a family favorite. I'd say it's in my top 100, but I don't really know where.
Tim Curry with Sly Stalone. Classic
Legend is fantastic and I won't hear otherwise! I just want to believe in the magic...
I also legitimately didn't find it boring, but I get it not being everyone's jam. Tim Curry is amazing in it.
If you're looking for some great Tim Curry voice work check out Duckman, which is also a Klasky-Csupo production.
Did Dan discover a time machine? He sounds so young... miss his vids..
That's what the voice of a man with a lot less stress sounds like
Didn't Cracked do an article about this movie, explaining how the second ending is the only one that could have happened?
This is the one film I loved as a kid that none of my friends liked. I still think it's great. Make another board game movie. Candy land I could see being made.
Lee Ving was/is the lead singer of Fear, which is probably most famous for the 1981 Saturday Night Live Halloween episode hosted by Donald Pleasence, where punks destroyed like 40k worth of TV equipment. They were booked to play the show because Lee was good friends with John Belushi, who said he'd make an guest appearance on the show. Only 22 minutes in so far, but the singing telegram girl is Jane Wiedlin from the GoGo's.
Tim Curry as Dr. Pool in Oscar is pure joy!
Apart from Clue, I absolutely loved Tim Curry as Gabriel Knight.
Tim Curry playing a Cajun playing an Irish priest is truly an experience.
Id like an episode where you guys get together and talk. You can call it “after Hours” or “Off Hours” or “Secondary Protocol Scene Activation 2.7” or whatever you want. You guys and gals started doin it but as soon as it got traction Michael had to split, meaning the whole “Off Hours” thing is done (after part 1 of a 2 parter I might add). I wish the best for Michael... he seems like a nice guy with some demons he struggles everyday to shake, and I hope he’s able to keep them from taking control. So no offense to a man who’s just trying to better his situation, but it feels like “After Hours” and Cracked all over again. Just gone one day. Short lived as Off Hours was, I’m gonna miss it. I hope this channel survives and thrives and I think that some version of “Hours” could be a big part of it. Good luck all.
Huh, High School band named Lunchmoney Criminals? How coincidentally serendipitous! Friend's high school band was similarly named Trust-Fund Beggars, who similarly won their local battle of the bands. Library janitor was the judge, I believe his qualifications being a former roadie for some undefined bands back before rock & roll died. 😆
Isn't that cute?
I love clue it’s a bomb ass movie
i grew up comparing this movie (in my head, not with actual friends) with Haunted Honeymoon with Gene Wilder
The director did want improvised jokes. There was actually only piece of improvised comedy. The "flames up face" bit. Everything else was scripted.
Radioland Murders is pretty close but that's a 90s movie
I don't know if this true but there used to be an old game in the UK (possibly Canada too) called Ludo and I always assumed (made up?) that because it rhymed with Cluedo that made it easier to market.
Ludo is just Latin for "Game"
Lucked out means to run out of luck, not to fall into it.
Jonathan Lynn's best work remains Yes (Prime) Minister
Hoy! Pimping for Max Temkin sure has aged poorly…
I was just going to say something!
DOB sounds weird in this video.
The rugrats actually met the wild thornberries, they called him Nigel strawberry
Murder by Death
Hey He was PIGGY in Get CrAZY
No mention of (under rated) Christopher Lloyd? I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but I remember when I rewatched it, I was surprised that Lloyd was in this movie. I didn't recognize him when he wasn't an over the top Doc Brown.
They mention him (they talk about his rapy-ness as a therapist in this) but all in all I'm pretty sure this was just an excuse to gush over Curry (as though anyone needs an actual excuse lol).
@@andrewshepherd1633 thank you, I haven't been able to make it all the way through yet. (Heh, yeah. Oddly, when I first saw this I didn't know who Curry was. Madeline and Mull, certainly. But I didn't see Rocky Horror til the 90s and didn't recognize him here)
Daniel can slappa da bass man
I have no idea if you're going to read this comment, but the name Cluedo is a combination of clue and ludo (Latin for "I play").
Murder by Death and the Cheap Dectective? Or not funny enough?
Murder By Death is a classic! I’ll have to check out The Cheap Detective if you’re looping it in with these two!
my Friend has a dvd copy that plays all the different endings and im pretty sure it does say fuck my wife
Professor Plum works for you know who
Miss the band being together. Ageing and time passing is lame and stuff.
When do they start talking about the movie? I'm 4 min in and nothing.
Whats up with Dan's voice. He has the Dan mannerisms and speech patterns but his voice is just slightly too higher pitched.
I'm with Daniel. I wholeheartedly co-sign on all of this movie. ... & I like Battleship too. But, Clue rules!
My standard post whenever the movie Clue comes up: who is the informant for Mr. Green? In any of the endings… there’s no clear informant for Mr. Green so how did Mr. Body know he was gay to blackmail him?
Even in the infamous “real” 3rd ending where Mr Green is a plant (“I thought men like you were called a fruit”) there’s no clear informant for Mr. Green.
My theory was that Mr Body was bi and had first hand experience.
Or Mr Green/the government sent false information to set him up as a plant, and Mr Body didn't know where the information originated. Otherwise he would have known it was fake.
Name dropping Cody Johnston like he’s not the best news dude there is
