My wife's mom was a piano player for the church and never missed a service or an opportunity to tell us about how much God loved us. One night my wife comes home with this movie. We're watching it and during the "Post nut clarity" scene I'm laughing so hard I'm in tears and I ask her what made her rent this movie. She said her mom had recommended it. After that, I had a newfound respect for my mother-in-law's sense of humor.
I can see why she likes it. The movie has a good heart and shows if we have good intentions God will reward us, in the throes of comedy and tragedy of life.
You don't see it in theatres because they Politically Correct (PC) everything so much that there's no more extreme comedy like this anymore. "Wait, we might get sued by dogs... better take that part out"
I’ll never forget seeing this in the theaters. The entire room erupted in laughter in the frank and beans scene, and the hotel bathroom scene. I had to see the movie twice because everyone was laughing so long and hard we missed a lot that happened after.
I just love imagining Lee Evans reaction when receiving the script. He's a working class English man who's acting as an American that's pretending to be an upper class English man lmao
The actor who played Norm/Tucker is actually a quite-famous British stand-up comedian, Lee Evans, whose 2008 Big tour and 2011 Roadrunner tour broke attendance records, including multiple show dates at London's O2 and the Wembley Arena. Evans also had parts in other movies where Americans may have seen him: 2000's _The Ladies Man_ (Barney), 1997's _The Fifth Element_ (Security Officer Fog), and 1997's _Mouse Hunt_ (Lars Smuntz).
Lee Evans is English. 'British' is a nothing term which incorporates two other countries nothing to do with England. Evans is very proud of his nationality 🏴
@@rnw2739 Well, speaking as an English person myself, I have absolutely no problem with anyone referring to the English as British (which we most definitely are) or even European, if referring to some native Brits' ethnicity, which many of us also can be classified as. My advice, relax on the offence taking thing, you'll live longer. 🤣
@Reactions That's a shame, I personally do have a problem with it. This erasing of a national identity is very subtle but effective - try calling a Scot a Brit and see the reaction but somehow the English are expected to accept it for fear of being labelled petty or dramatic. I most certainly am NOT British. The problem is when you have English called Brits but Welsh or Scottish called Welsh or Scottish.... thats what's happening and it's a shame you have such little regard for your country that you are fine with its disappearance
As an American, I regret I am woefully ignorant of these distinctions, and I certainly meant no offense, nor do I wish to contribute to the erasing of anyone's national identity. I was simply using the construction in common use, and in fact that's how Mr Evans is described in the opening line of the Wikipedia article (no doubt written by one of his countrymen) that I used in writing my comment, to get the dates right for his very popular comedy tours. I had always thought that the UK consisted of the countries linked together under its sovereignty and located geographically in the island of Britain (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland), and that it was therefore proper to call the citizens of any of those countries 'British', just as someone may refer to me (geographically, not nationally) and my Canadian neighbor both as 'North Americans' (though it's not an exact analogy, since there is no overarching 'United Kingdom of North America'....). So if there is now a preference for 'English' over 'British' for citizens of England, I am sorry, but I had not heard of it. I will try and be more precise and respectful in the future. Meanwhile, how about that Lee Evans? Funny guy....
@Bill Parrish Thank you sir, and highly indicative of how sone of my compatriots have been brainwashed to believe any form of patriotism is bad - going by the other comnent. Thank you for your sincerity and yes, he is hilarious!
I saw this in a sold out crowd. By the time the hair gel scene happened we were all laughing so hard it probably looked like we all were in convulsions. I was falling into my neighbor and I didn't know them. 🤭
The guy playing guitar and singing the theme song is Jonathan Richman. He was the frontman for the band Modern Lovers from the mid 70s which also included Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison who would be in The Talking Heads after.
I also love the Britsh actor who played Norm /Tucker. His American accent was so good that some people complained about his horrible 'fake' English accent.
In the bar, Norm explains that he had a friend break his back with a baseball bat so he could go to Mary. You guys were talking about whether Mary was an orthopedic surgeon and probably missed it.
One of the most underrated comedies is Mystery Men starring Ben Stiller. It was made in 1999, pre Marvel / superhero era and the fact it precedes those and makes light of superhero tropes makes it even funnier.
The superhero tropes have existed in comic books for almost a century now, and there were plenty of kids cartoons, low budget TV shows, and B movies featuring superheroes, not to mention the 60s and 90s versions of Batman, and both George and Christopher Reeve’s turns as Superman.
LOVE the variety of films you guys watch on the channel, but my personal faves are when you're laughing and having a great time. Always a treat when a comedy classic pops up on your feed. Your 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' vid is still in my rewatch playlist lol.
@@TheRedWaltz24 the problem with Dumb and Dumber for me is--using the particular scale I'm using in my head for this--I simply am not invested in Harry and Lloyd. I like them, don't get me wrong, but I don't really care about them. In Kingpin, There's Something about and Mary, Me, Myself & Irene, we get stories that had the signature off-the-wall comedy, but underneath were stories about people struggling with deeply personal pain and trauma in search of redemption. Technically, I guess you can sort of say that about Dumb and Dumber, since Harry and Lloyd are two lonely, working class guys down on their luck, but since we never get to know them much, they end up just being who they are. Harry and Lloyd just exist apart from the world with very little, if any, change. I don't have the same urge to root for them like I do for Roy Munson, Vanessa, Ishmael, Ted, Mary, Charlie Baileygates, Hank, and Irene. I love Dumb and Dumber, it is one of the Farrelly Brothers' signature classics. It's very much a prototype for their next films. But, even with the serious moments (which are well acted, timed, paced, etc.) it lacks that extra dimension the others did so well. Kingpin in particular, but the other two as well, could deliver the darkest, most gross-out or obnoxious series of jokes in one scene, give you a melancholic/contemplative scene immediately after, send you laughing hysterically after that, before bringing you to tears later on. It makes for not only an amazing comedy, but overall satisfying cinema. (Kingpin is my favorite of their, too). Shallow Hal had this, too, but Shallow Hal is where the formula started to fall apart, but that is a post for another day.
This is my all time favorite comedy. I watched it in theaters when it came out, and let me tell you, I had, and still haven't head a theater erupt in as much laughter as when the hair gel scene happened. Fantastic film
That's Jonathan Richman as the singer. You might look him up as he's had a lengthy (and very influential) recording career (Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers). I've always seen his appearances (and his drummer) as acting as a Greek chorus for the story.
"I realized something today, Marry. I'm no better than any of these guys. I mean, none of them love you, really. They're just fixated on you because of how you make them feel about themselves. That's not real love. I don't know what that is." For a raunchy crazy sex comedy that's a pretty deep, honest, and great line.
33:22 Samantha, if you rewatch Kindergarten Cop, you'll realize the "cop" that beat the hell out of Ben Stiller was the villain (Dominic's dad) that tried to kill Mr. Kimball.
Very funny movie. The musician that sings throughout the movie is the great Jonathan Richman. He started with his band Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers and then has continued on as a solo act. I've seen him live and he is a lot f fun.
20:47 - I saw this when it first came out in a packed theater. That "hair gel" scene...everyone in the theater completely missed that whole conversation between Ted and Mary because we were all screaming laughing so hard.
Much of this movie you couldn't do today. The Farrelly Brothers were in their bag with this movie. Along with 'Me, Myself & Irene' with Jim Carrey and Renee Zellweger. 😂😆😆
Tucker is played by Lee Evans one the UK's best stand up comedians...on his 2008 tour he broke the world record for biggest audience of 10,108 people on one night and had an audience of 500,000 people over 59 dates...he retired in 2014 after the death of his manager
Don’t forget the amazing Magda! The actress that plays her, Lynn Shay, is the same actress that plays Elise in all of the Insidious films. She’s also a part of the Ouija series. She is amazingly talented! And trust me… the franks and beans HURTS!!!!! It’s a pain you will never forget. I speak from experience. 😧😬 We had no Doctors or hospitals where I grew up so, yeah, I had to fix it myself!
If you really want to see Cameron Diaz show off her acting chops, PLEASE consider watching 'Being John Malkovich'. It's a Charlie Kaufmann (Eternal Sunshine, Synechdoche N.Y., Adaptation etc) film ....so, SUPER quirky.... but an amazing platform for the cast to show off their chops. You may find it an enjoyable watch. I guarantee you've never seen anything like it. 😁 BTW - I LOVE the idea of Jonathan (RoadRunner/PabloPicasso) Richmond musically stalking Mary!
How is this 25 years old already? Time is a MF'er. Fond memory of seeing this the summer it came out while on a day off from being a camp counselor up in Maine. Me and some mates found a theater that served booze. I had turned 21 only a couple months earlier. The joint was packed and the whole place was in hysterics for at least 10-12 gags. Not sure if I've ever been in a similar cinematic experience since, a crowd that large and that thoroughly united in laughter. It was to the point you start laughing at other people's laughing. I hope you guys get to Kingpin. For my money, the best of the Farrelly Bros movies.
If u think about it, Mary is sooo unreal! Surgeon, 6 figure income, a knockout, artist, cares about old folks and handicapped, loves sports, occasionally drinks beer and goes out, cusses occasionally, talks about sex, like- can she get more perfect?
Something About Mary is a comedy of historic significance. It was the first in a new phase of comedy films - super original when it came out, and changed comedy. A lot of films after it had a similar style but this one gets credit for opening up this kind of comedic style film.
Kingpin,with Woody Harellson and Stick on You ,with Matt Damon are two more hilarious Farelly Brothers directed movies! Check em out! Great reactions guys!
I saw this at the movies when it came out. I remember being in the restroom and lobby immediately after it ended and everyone still laughing hysterically! So funny!
My wife and I watched this film when we rented it at Blockbuster. Sitting on the sofa I literally fell to the floor during the frank and beans scene. My jaw hurt so badly from laughter.
Soon as Dan says 'there's a scene...' we all instantly know which one. Saw this in cinema, just had a blast watching it. I've actually done the accidental perving on a woman changing like here, so awkward, she's actually famous now too, so I'm always reminded of it tho I'm sure she'll have forgotten. 😬
@@sergeantbigmac Haha sorry. I'm not sure how well known she is these days or what name she's known to some by but back in day she was called Saraya Knight, I think they even made a film about her but I've not seen it. She seemed to take the incident in good stead but I never tried to explain it away as I thought it'd seem like I was lying to get out it. 😅
@@VonPunk Ooh interesting. Yes I know who that is and ive seen Fighting with My Family. On the surface it seems like a cheesy Bmovie but it turns into a surprisingly well done, heartfelt and genuinely acted film. ...And with all the wacky sh*t that family went through she probably doesnt remember your situation. Its always best to move past the awkward because ive found trying to explain something away digs the hole deeper haha
I lived down in Florida for 12 years or so about 2 miles away from the "aqua-golf" driving range. They have plaques and stuff up from the filming of the scenes they had there. Pretty neat.
38:18: me, too!!! I live on an island, and walk my dogs on the beach daily…and there are sometimes people fishing on the beach. So, I strive to stay clear, thanks to this film.
This is such a fun movie. The Farrely Brothers really are excellent with comedy. The 90s & 2000s films they did are awesome. Kingpin, Dumb & Dumber, Suck on You, Me, Myself & Irene, Shallow Hal. Lots of great movies.
You know it’s gonna be fun when the Schmitts are doing a comedy classic! And especially a comedy classic that also gives us valuable life lessons. Always be careful when zipping up, never piss off the hitchhiker and always stand at least 200 yards away from any anglers! Seeing this movie at a young age served you well, Daniel 😅 Oh, and when Sam said “Can’t the poor dog get a break?!” 😬🤣
Great movie. They mention Tucker had his friend break his back with a baseball bat when Pat confronts him, but just in general spine is notoriously hard to fix, especially with nerve impingement.
@TBR Schmitt If you haven't already, I highly recommend you watching Meet The Parents. It's Ben Stiller playing the same type of character he plays in this movie, a sad clown in a nonstop comedic rom com with wild twists and turns from beginning to end.
When I first saw this in the theater, the "hair gel" scene made me fall out of my chair laughing! I almost peed in my pants I laughed so hard. It was one of the absolute funniest movies I have ever seen.
Breakthrough movie IMO during the 90s. It pushed things to the next level which allowed many of those early 2000s films have easy access to pushing the limits. Great reaction guys!
The 90s were rich in movies that pushed boundaries in all genres. Even earlier than the ones you mention were movies like Clerks, and Austin Powers which pushed the limits of comedy, and Swingers, which set up the buddy comedy genre movies like Old School, which I love, American Pie, The Hangover, Hot Tub Time Machine, and others.
@@Dave-hb7lx Did Airplane push boundaries? I mean, context is everything when making comparisons. What about Blazing Saddles? The context in this thread seemed to me to be sexual humor and Buddy Comedies of the 2000s, neither of which apply to Airplane.
@@andymc96 Dumb and Dumber was funny, but it didn’t really do anything new. 🤷🏻♂️ New would be Carey’s first breakout, Ace Ventura. That changed things.
Don't remember the year, but about 10 years ago Stiller & Diaz were meant to be on the Graham Norton show together just before Christmas, but she was late so he had to end his segment and leave. He left a wrapped Xmas present for her, which was a bottle of hair gel 🤣🤣🤣
The actor that played Warren ( Mary's brother) in this movie is W. Earl Brown who played Kenny The Cameraman in Scream ( who got his throat slashed in the movie) and he played Rock legend/actor Meatloaf in the TV Biopic Meatloaf : To Hell and Back (2000)
If I remember correctly, Tucker says he paid a guy to take a bat to his back. so he actually got his back broken and he just never let on that he got better.
Heck yes, 90's and 2000's comedies pls, just roll right through them. Clerks, Clerks II, American Pie, Road Trip, Old School, Role Models, all the Judd Apatow movies.
This movie is even funnier on repeat viewings because you know ahead of time where each joke has its payoff. Things that you didn't know where they were going, you're now in on 3 minute setups. Such as "You flog the dolphin..." culminates with the hair gel in the restaurant. And now knowing Tucker is faking, you can laugh when he drops his keys.
This was the "Animal House" (the movie that changed comedy forever and you should put on your list) of the 90s, as in for years everybody tried to copy it.
Lee Evans was a British Stand up comedian and actor ( he's retired now), he also appeared in the movie The Fifth Element ( starring Bruce Willis,Milla Jovovich,Gary Oldman, Chris Tucker,Ian Holm, Tiny Lister Jr & more)
A great reaction. Thanks. If you enjoyed the musicians in the film, I'd strongly recommend the 1960s comedy western Cat Ballou with Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda. It has two singing minstrels played by Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye. They sing songs in the film like it's done in There's something about Mary.
I was cracking up that you saw the TV "censored" version originally. During the full watch-along, I must have had the Director's Cut, so it added even more scenes which enhanced and explained the story a bit further.
The fact that version isn't available these days is pretty criminal. Even the scenes that were cut were really good and added more to the story. But it's still an amazing comedy.
I recall seeing this movie while traveling overseas. I think I hadn't seen Chris Elliott since he did a short lived sitcom called _"Get a Life"_ that where he played an adult paperboy that lived with his parents. The intro playing the r.e.m. song, _"stand"_ while he tossed papers from his bike is still etched in my mind. I think there were a number of scenes that weren't in the theatrical release, and when this came out on DVD, it was during the initial boom of DVDs and how a large amount of bonus content, like deleted scenes, bloopers, etc., could be included contrasted with vhs. I don't recall if the 13:28 scene demonstrating yet another reason how wookie "had it all" with his wife after Mary was included in the theatrical release I initially saw.
My wife's mom was a piano player for the church and never missed a service or an opportunity to tell us about how much God loved us. One night my wife comes home with this movie. We're watching it and during the "Post nut clarity" scene I'm laughing so hard I'm in tears and I ask her what made her rent this movie. She said her mom had recommended it. After that, I had a newfound respect for my mother-in-law's sense of humor.
Just knowing this lady found this movie funny made you bond because she wasn’t the stereotype you expected
I can see why she likes it. The movie has a good heart and shows if we have good intentions God will reward us, in the throes of comedy and tragedy of life.
Norm asked his friend to break his back with a baseball bat so he could get in to see Mary. Now that's dedication!
I saw this in the theater in 1998, and the whole theater was cracking up during so many scenes. You just don’t see that in today’s comedies.
Yes! "Dumb and Dumber" was another one where you stomach and face hurt from laughing so much... 🤣

seeing You both laughing this hard has made my night thank you tbr Schmitt and Samantha LOL 🤣😂
I’ve always looked at the musicians functioning as a two-man Greek chorus.
Tucker is played by Lee Evans one the UK's best stand up comedians...on his 2008 tour he broke the world record for biggest audience of 10,108 people on one night and had an audience of 500,000 people over 59 dates...he retired in 2014 after the death of his manager
Don’t forget the amazing Magda! The actress that plays her, Lynn Shay, is the same actress that plays Elise in all of the Insidious films. She’s also a part of the Ouija series. She is amazingly talented! And trust me… the franks and beans HURTS!!!!! It’s a pain you will never forget. I speak from experience. 😧😬 We had no Doctors or hospitals where I grew up so, yeah, I had to fix it myself!
Legit one of the best reactions I've watched to this movie y'all.
Kingpin is another Farrelly bros comedy worth checking out. Toss it on a sports movie poll if it can't win a comedy one 😅
I saw this in the movie theaters ... Everyone was laughing so hard .. Good times
If you really want to see Cameron Diaz show off her acting chops, PLEASE consider watching 'Being John Malkovich'. It's a Charlie Kaufmann (Eternal Sunshine, Synechdoche N.Y., Adaptation etc) film ....so, SUPER quirky.... but an amazing platform for the cast to show off their chops. You may find it an enjoyable watch. I guarantee you've never seen anything like it. 😁
BTW - I LOVE the idea of Jonathan (RoadRunner/PabloPicasso) Richmond musically stalking Mary!
She was so good it took me half a movie to recognize that was her!
One night at McCools...probably one of the best comedies after There's something about Mary..
The angry cop does such a great job. He kills me everytime.
The singer in the movie is Jonathan Richman, kind of a beloved underground artist. Recommend his song Icecream Man.
How is this 25 years old already? Time is a MF'er. Fond memory of seeing this the summer it came out while on a day off from being a camp counselor up in Maine. Me and some mates found a theater that served booze. I had turned 21 only a couple months earlier. The joint was packed and the whole place was in hysterics for at least 10-12 gags. Not sure if I've ever been in a similar cinematic experience since, a crowd that large and that thoroughly united in laughter. It was to the point you start laughing at other people's laughing. I hope you guys get to Kingpin. For my money, the best of the Farrelly Bros movies.
,, umm 🙄🤔✨ the last twenty years didn't really happen 🌀🌪️🏝️✈️💥
If u think about it, Mary is sooo unreal! Surgeon, 6 figure income, a knockout, artist, cares about old folks and handicapped, loves sports, occasionally drinks beer and goes out, cusses occasionally, talks about sex, like- can she get more perfect?
Well, I mean, there definitely Something About Mary after all
I'll see myself out....
I guess you can say there something about Mary.......
Well, if would help if she didn't look like Dolph Lundgren. No one is perfect.
I always thought that was the point. She was written that way on purpose. She’s what most men would want if they could make a woman.
And she looks like Peak Cameron Diaz
Something About Mary is a comedy of historic significance. It was the first in a new phase of comedy films - super original when it came out, and changed comedy. A lot of films after it had a similar style but this one gets credit for opening up this kind of comedic style film.
Kingpin,with Woody Harellson and Stick on You ,with Matt Damon are two more hilarious Farelly Brothers directed movies! Check em out! Great reactions guys!
This movie is comedic gold from start to finish.
Guys, watch Ben Stiller again in Dodgeball True Underdog Story. It's totally worth it 👌.
I second this, GREAT FILM.
Ben Stiller in Dodgeball gave us one of the best villains in cinematic history! Such a fun movie with awesome cameos!
😂😂
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.
Zoolander smiles a lot!
I saw this at the movies when it came out. I remember being in the restroom and lobby immediately after it ended and everyone still laughing hysterically! So funny!
Just btw 'guitar guy' is Jonathan Richman of The Modern Lovers.
Forget Mary... Woogie's wife is the keeper...For real!
Tucker/Norm explains to Healey in the bar scene that a friend took a bat to his back, so he really had a broken back...😅
So many memorable scenes, one of my favorite comedies ever. Looking forward to Raising Arizona, but really happy you guys reacted to this one! 🤗
Brett the eagle scout. Yep, that is definitely how I would describe Brett Favre, lol
@thrawn5k, Couldn't he have been one when he was much younger? 🙄 🙄 🙄
My wife and I watched this film when we rented it at Blockbuster. Sitting on the sofa I literally fell to the floor during the frank and beans scene. My jaw hurt so badly from laughter.
Soon as Dan says 'there's a scene...' we all instantly know which one. Saw this in cinema, just had a blast watching it. I've actually done the accidental perving on a woman changing like here, so awkward, she's actually famous now too, so I'm always reminded of it tho I'm sure she'll have forgotten. 😬
Cmon man you cant drop some juicy trivia like that and leave us hanging! Whats her name!? Whats her name!? haha
@@sergeantbigmac Haha sorry. I'm not sure how well known she is these days or what name she's known to some by but back in day she was called Saraya Knight, I think they even made a film about her but I've not seen it. She seemed to take the incident in good stead but I never tried to explain it away as I thought it'd seem like I was lying to get out it. 😅
@@VonPunk Ooh interesting. Yes I know who that is and ive seen Fighting with My Family. On the surface it seems like a cheesy Bmovie but it turns into a surprisingly well done, heartfelt and genuinely acted film.
...And with all the wacky sh*t that family went through she probably doesnt remember your situation. Its always best to move past the awkward because ive found trying to explain something away digs the hole deeper haha
I'll have to check out sometime then, cheers. 🙂
Samantha's face in the thumbnail is priceless🤣
I lived down in Florida for 12 years or so about 2 miles away from the "aqua-golf" driving range. They have plaques and stuff up from the filming of the scenes they had there. Pretty neat.
38:18: me, too!!! I live on an island, and walk my dogs on the beach daily…and there are sometimes people fishing on the beach. So, I strive to stay clear, thanks to this film.
This is such a fun movie. The Farrely Brothers really are excellent with comedy. The 90s & 2000s films they did are awesome. Kingpin, Dumb & Dumber, Suck on You, Me, Myself & Irene, Shallow Hal. Lots of great movies.
"Shallow Hal" - romantic comedy with Jack Black. Really interesting and fun watch!
Hell yes guys First comment! Love this movie! Franks and Beans! Keith David as the dad is hilarious.
First reply to your comment! 💩
You know it’s gonna be fun when the Schmitts are doing a comedy classic! And especially a comedy classic that also gives us valuable life lessons. Always be careful when zipping up, never piss off the hitchhiker and always stand at least 200 yards away from any anglers! Seeing this movie at a young age served you well, Daniel 😅
Oh, and when Sam said “Can’t the poor dog get a break?!” 😬🤣
I love that Matt Dillon played an equally unsavory role in Wild Things which came out the same year as There's Something About Mary.
Great movie. They mention Tucker had his friend break his back with a baseball bat when Pat confronts him, but just in general spine is notoriously hard to fix, especially with nerve impingement.
You guys should really do a reaction to Harold and Maude it is a fantastic film with a wonderful soundtrack by Yusuf Islam AKA Cat Stevens.
omg @8:33 I almost choked on my drink when Samantha asked if it was TBR who yelled XD
😂That part cracked me up as well!
@TBR Schmitt If you haven't already, I highly recommend you watching Meet The Parents. It's Ben Stiller playing the same type of character he plays in this movie, a sad clown in a nonstop comedic rom com with wild twists and turns from beginning to end.
When I first saw this in the theater, the "hair gel" scene made me fall out of my chair laughing! I almost peed in my pants I laughed so hard. It was one of the absolute funniest movies I have ever seen.
Having Jonathan Richman in this movie was a great idea.
This movie is dangerous! It can make you laugh to near death.
Classic comedy with a great cast. Its fantastic.
Breakthrough movie IMO during the 90s. It pushed things to the next level which allowed many of those early 2000s films have easy access to pushing the limits. Great reaction guys!
I concur, every few years someone takes a chance and ‘elevates’ it. As comedies go, This for sure, then ‘Old School’ and ‘The Hangover’
I would say dumb and dumber started it.
The 90s were rich in movies that pushed boundaries in all genres. Even earlier than the ones you mention were movies like Clerks, and Austin Powers which pushed the limits of comedy, and Swingers, which set up the buddy comedy genre movies like Old School, which I love, American Pie, The Hangover, Hot Tub Time Machine, and others.
@@Dave-hb7lx Did Airplane push boundaries? I mean, context is everything when making comparisons. What about Blazing Saddles?
The context in this thread seemed to me to be sexual humor and Buddy Comedies of the 2000s, neither of which apply to Airplane.
@@andymc96 Dumb and Dumber was funny, but it didn’t really do anything new. 🤷🏻♂️ New would be Carey’s first breakout, Ace Ventura. That changed things.
Was a blast watching the full reaction on Patreon! Can't wait until you dip into Wes Anderson's movies. As Bill Murray fans, they are a must see!
Don't remember the year, but about 10 years ago Stiller & Diaz were meant to be on the Graham Norton show together just before Christmas, but she was late so he had to end his segment and leave. He left a wrapped Xmas present for her, which was a bottle of hair gel 🤣🤣🤣
Matt Dillon in The Outsiders and especially in Drop Dead Gorgeous.
And in "Drugstore Cowboy"
Hope you two are having an great and awesome weekend ❤️
The actor that played Warren ( Mary's brother) in this movie is W. Earl Brown who played Kenny The Cameraman in Scream ( who got his throat slashed in the movie) and he played Rock legend/actor Meatloaf in the TV Biopic Meatloaf : To Hell and Back (2000)
OMG This movie IS a classic ! Just hilarious 🤣
If I remember correctly, Tucker says he paid a guy to take a bat to his back. so he actually got his back broken and he just never let on that he got better.
Turns out Bret wasn't such a good person in real life 😂😂😂
You two are the best, love watching all your reactions
"His friends would say stop whinin, they had enough of that.." lmao sing that joint everyday. Used to have to sneak to watch this.
Heck yes, 90's and 2000's comedies pls, just roll right through them. Clerks, Clerks II, American Pie, Road Trip, Old School, Role Models, all the Judd Apatow movies.
Another classic, love this movie.
This movie is even funnier on repeat viewings because you know ahead of time where each joke has its payoff. Things that you didn't know where they were going, you're now in on 3 minute setups. Such as "You flog the dolphin..." culminates with the hair gel in the restaurant. And now knowing Tucker is faking, you can laugh when he drops his keys.
This was the "Animal House" (the movie that changed comedy forever and you should put on your list) of the 90s, as in for years everybody tried to copy it.
Lee Evans was a British Stand up comedian and actor ( he's retired now), he also appeared in the movie The Fifth Element ( starring Bruce Willis,Milla Jovovich,Gary Oldman, Chris Tucker,Ian Holm, Tiny Lister Jr & more)
A great reaction. Thanks. If you enjoyed the musicians in the film, I'd strongly recommend the 1960s comedy western Cat Ballou with Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda. It has two singing minstrels played by Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye. They sing songs in the film like it's done in There's something about Mary.
Great movie.
I was cracking up that you saw the TV "censored" version originally. During the full watch-along, I must have had the Director's Cut, so it added even more scenes which enhanced and explained the story a bit further.
Didn't they call that "There's Something More About Mary" or did I imagine that? 😂
The fact that version isn't available these days is pretty criminal. Even the scenes that were cut were really good and added more to the story. But it's still an amazing comedy.
I recall seeing this movie while traveling overseas. I think I hadn't seen Chris Elliott since he did a short lived sitcom called _"Get a Life"_ that where he played an adult paperboy that lived with his parents. The intro playing the r.e.m. song, _"stand"_ while he tossed papers from his bike is still etched in my mind.
I think there were a number of scenes that weren't in the theatrical release, and when this came out on DVD, it was during the initial boom of DVDs and how a large amount of bonus content, like deleted scenes, bloopers, etc., could be included contrasted with vhs. I don't recall if the 13:28 scene demonstrating yet another reason how wookie "had it all" with his wife after Mary was included in the theatrical release I initially saw.
