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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
@@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.
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
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.
Funny Fact: When the two ladies look out the window after the dog jumped out, the director's were mooning them and that's why they make that little scream.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
Yep, one of my all time fave comedies. The way it was able to build and build 5-6 scenes just going from bad to worse just had the theater rolling back in the day.
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.
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?!” 😬🤣
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 🤣🤣🤣
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
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)
@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.
I was also fortunate to see this in the cinema. I love the Buttercup montage at the end credits, especially the park scene with some of the cast with pants around their ankles while singing. lol.
I've always thought this might be the best comedy ever made. They just throw it right in your face, "We're gonna put a couple of musicians in a tree to start, first of all...." Just a lot of "F it, we're doing this, this way." Really amazing, and strangely effective romantic themes. I remember the "ugly crying" at the end REALLY hit me in a serious way. Amazing weird storytelling. Hilarious. Joy.
When Harland Williams is talking about his "7 Minute Abs" pitch, it was an improvised bit by him and he said he didn't fully realize what he was saying, lol
Thanks for another great reaction! Always great to see you two react to great one-off/non-series movies. I'm guessing you two have seen Dumb and Dumber already, but another great Farrelly brother movie is the underrated Kingpin with Woody Harrelson, Bill Murray, and Randy Quaid. Can't wait for Raising Arizona!
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.
I saw this in 98 when it first came out. Had no idea what it was about it was just the next movie starting when I walked in. People were on the floor laughing it was crazy.
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.
Tucker is played by Lee Evans, a Brit - so when a lot of people think he was putting on a fake English accent, he was actually doing a convincing American accent.
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.
In reference to Tucker / Norm's injuries, he mentions to Healy that once he met Mary while delivering her a pizza, he became immediately obsessed & had a friend work over his spine with a baseball bat so he would be injured & laid up & need to go to her for medical assistance...so I think at first, he was injured & then kept up the injury so he had reason to always go to her office & be in her life
The guitar and drum player are the farrelly brothers who made the film. Norm got his friends to break his back with baseball bats, it's in the movie. So it was actually broken, Mary isnt shit. Mary dated woogie in high school, broke up was supposed to go out with Ted. Dated woogie again at princeton then got a restraining order against him and changed her name.
First time watching, I failed to notice the music accompanying Puffy's two big scenes. I was laughing too hard. The second theatrical viewing, Brazil is blasting away and I'm rolling in my seat all over again. Both showings, the audience stood up and cheered after the post credit scenes. Great Efin Movie.
I remember as promotion for this movie, a company released those little foam balls that you put on your car antenna in the shape of Puffy in a body cast.
Holy moly what theatre screen has 2000 seats? Im not being critical I really want to know, because most in the USA are much smaller than that usually like 150-300. Thats would be awesome to see the same movie with 2K other people in the same room
@@sergeantbigmac I don't remember the name since it was 1998. I remember that It was the largest in the world at that time. I'm sure there are theaters even larger now.
In Finland this movie is called Sekaisin Marista. Sekaisin means many similar things when looking from a dictionary like messed up but also Spaced Out. Spaced Out from Mari suddenly sounds a bit different :)
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.
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.
I love that he takes out his glasses to see it.. it's the little absurdities about that scene that make it so funny.. and then actually revealing it?? Just perfect.
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.

Just knowing this lady found this movie funny made you bond because she wasn’t the stereotype you expected
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.

Same😂
"So am I like in a lot of trouble here? Where I come from this is not a big deal."
Harland Williams as the Hitchhiker was great too!
I nearly pissed myself laughing the 1st time I saw the part when Pat told the story about a kid called 'Mongo' when trying to impress Mary.
A genuine 10/10 comedy classic. Samanthas face during the full video was priceless! 😂😂😂
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.
Yeah.. that happened to me too.. You couldn't hear anything they were saying at dinner because so many people were dying of laughter.

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.
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)
20:48 That's actually perfect - His eyes sure as beep won't go south so she can't complain about him not making eye-contact
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.
Hope you two are having an great and awesome weekend ❤️
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)
@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.
I was also fortunate to see this in the cinema. I love the Buttercup montage at the end credits, especially the park scene with some of the cast with pants around their ankles while singing. lol.
you two are so much fun when you laugh! it's contagious. 😆
I've always thought this might be the best comedy ever made. They just throw it right in your face, "We're gonna put a couple of musicians in a tree to start, first of all...." Just a lot of "F it, we're doing this, this way." Really amazing, and strangely effective romantic themes. I remember the "ugly crying" at the end REALLY hit me in a serious way. Amazing weird storytelling. Hilarious. Joy.
When Harland Williams is talking about his "7 Minute Abs" pitch, it was an improvised bit by him and he said he didn't fully realize what he was saying, lol
Keith David, Mary's stepdad, has one of the best comic performances I've seen: "Oh My God, Devil, Satan!"
This is the greatest love story ever told! 😂
This movie has so many twists and reveals. It's clever stuff.
Why it's probably the greatest rom com of all time IMO.
Thanks for another great reaction! Always great to see you two react to great one-off/non-series movies.
I'm guessing you two have seen Dumb and Dumber already, but another great Farrelly brother movie is the underrated Kingpin with Woody Harrelson, Bill Murray, and Randy Quaid.
Can't wait for Raising Arizona!
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.
Frank and Beans, hair gel. This movie blew my mind when it came out. Game changer. Love it.
I saw this in 98 when it first came out. Had no idea what it was about it was just the next movie starting when I walked in. People were on the floor laughing it was crazy.
"His friends would say stop whinin, they had enough of that.." lmao sing that joint everyday. Used to have to sneak to watch this.
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.
Tucker is played by Lee Evans, a Brit - so when a lot of people think he was putting on a fake English accent, he was actually doing a convincing American accent.
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.
Having Jonathan Richman in this movie was a great idea.
In reference to Tucker / Norm's injuries, he mentions to Healy that once he met Mary while delivering her a pizza, he became immediately obsessed & had a friend work over his spine with a baseball bat so he would be injured & laid up & need to go to her for medical assistance...so I think at first, he was injured & then kept up the injury so he had reason to always go to her office & be in her life
I saw this in the cinema. The famous hair-gel gag caused riotous laughter in the theatre which rumbled on for a few minutes into the next scene.
The guitar and drum player are the farrelly brothers who made the film.
Norm got his friends to break his back with baseball bats, it's in the movie. So it was actually broken, Mary isnt shit.
Mary dated woogie in high school, broke up was supposed to go out with Ted. Dated woogie again at princeton then got a restraining order against him and changed her name.
First time watching, I failed to notice the music accompanying Puffy's two big scenes. I was laughing too hard. The second theatrical viewing, Brazil is blasting away and I'm rolling in my seat all over again. Both showings, the audience stood up and cheered after the post credit scenes. Great Efin Movie.
I remember as promotion for this movie, a company released those little foam balls that you put on your car antenna in the shape of Puffy in a body cast.
Matt Dillon in The Outsiders and especially in Drop Dead Gorgeous.
And in "Drugstore Cowboy"
Norm had a friend break his back. That's what he told Pat Healy. She cured him that's why he didn't actually need the crutches.
Mary's parents were played by two of the cast of "Night Court".
I saw this in a theatre in London in 1998. 2000 people in the audience! The best cinema experience ever!
Holy moly what theatre screen has 2000 seats? Im not being critical I really want to know, because most in the USA are much smaller than that usually like 150-300. Thats would be awesome to see the same movie with 2K other people in the same room
@@sergeantbigmac I don't remember the name since it was 1998. I remember that It was the largest in the world at that time. I'm sure there are theaters even larger now.
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.
This movie is comedy gold.
i forgot how hilarious this movie is
Hair gel
Everyone was on the floor!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Farrellyes are brilliant!!
In Finland this movie is called Sekaisin Marista. Sekaisin means many similar things when looking from a dictionary like messed up but also Spaced Out. Spaced Out from Mari suddenly sounds a bit different :)
One of the funniest movies !!! 👍
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.
*Warren is Kenny from Scream*
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.
Best line of the entire movie. HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THE BEANS ABOVE THE FRANK!!!!
I love that he takes out his glasses to see it.. it's the little absurdities about that scene that make it so funny.. and then actually revealing it?? Just perfect.
Keith David shouting is always funny, but the way he freaks out is too good!
@@LordVolkov I doubt anyone could've delivered that line nearly as good as him.
