In the time it took us to get this edited and posted, we are probably cutting it a little too close for Christmas for Toys for Tots for those of you interested in the E.T. Figure. Not to worry, 100% of the purchase price for those items will STILL go to Toys for Tots for later in the year or next Christmas! We are now listing 2 items instead of just the one featured in the video. If collectibles aren't your things, you can still donate ANY amount on the donate tab under the video. Merry Christmas!

I just saw someone react to big fish and it was the best. Do big fish.
You can't watch E.T. without immediately watching Mac and Me, right afterwards. I want to see you guys review that one. It's a travesty if you don't. 😃
@@Metal0sopher Mac and Me, a Paul Rudd Trailer classic!
I appreciate that you guys do stuff like this
It's my birthday
The juxtaposition of Jen crying over E.T. dying then immediately asking to kill a spider lol
ET saying goodbye to Elliott is one of the biggest tear jerkers ever in a film.
The parts of the movie where E.T. is sick and dying were terrifying to me as a kid. Especially when the guys in the NASA suits show up. I couldn't watch it.
Scared the crap outta me before those parts. Was like 2-3 in the theatre and made my mom take me home. Then my sisters had E.T. stickers all over a wall in a room. We called it the E.T. room. I was scared to look at the pictures.
Traumazing as a kid
@@MikeB12800 saaaame
Jen: "OH my gosh, can we please get a pet alien?" Holden: "Sure. With my luck it would end up like Roger from American Dad though." LMAO 🤣
Jen with animals: Look at the baby!! Can we keep it?
Jen with spiders: send it back to the abyss!
I didn't think Jen could get more attached to a character than a puppy or Bumblebee, but here we are! Goodness gracious this reaction was gold! XD
E.T. Terrified me as a kid, but watching it now I realise its probably where my love for space, aliens and sci-fi sprouted from
Scared me too.
It was my first theater movie when I was two. Scared the begeezus out of me. Especially when he screams as the beginning.
I feel like in a way the movies that scared us in our childhood are the ones that really stick with us. That was the case for me in regards to Jurrasic Park and the first Lord of the Rings(the ring wraiths freaked me out as a kid in the theaters). they are my favorite movies now though.
This comment really resonates with me so much.
Yup I use to have a recurring nightmares of E.T. as a kid. Terrified me for years and for some reason my parents thought it was a good idea to take me on the ride when I was so young and thought it would help me with my fear. It did not. Was crying half the time
Got to see this at the cinema this year for the 40th anniversary. It’s very dear to me. It always gets me emotional. Even this reaction for me tearing up.
the girl who elliot kissed in class was on Baywatch posed for playboy and she played a playboy playmate who in the cake in the movie under seige with steven segal
This is one of my favorite movies. My mom, an accomplished seamstress, made an E.T. costume for herself and the man with keys for my dad. I couldn't wait to use that costume (took forever for me to grow into it). I still have the costume and will bust it out every few years. This is a great movie
Born in 1977 here. My brother in 1969. Yep, we did most things on our own. Trick or Treating included. No cell phones, we just came home when the street lights came on. If we were late we got in trouble and legitimate freak outs could happen if we weren’t where we said we would be. But, yes, we did most things without parental supervision in my lower middle class neighborhood.
1969 here... Same here but in Brooklyn New York
Yep! Born in 1975 ....us gen x kids grew up in the funnest time to be kids. Saw ET in theatre when it came out....still cry I admit watching it. 80s was a special time...I hate the world today!
85. Same up to the mid 90s. Rode to so many places on my bike alone. It was a way different time.
“Does he kill the bunny?”😂 why reactions are so interesting is the person reacting has no idea what to expect. This is probably the most harmless alien movie ever made, but Jen thinks they might sacrifice Fluffy in the first 5 minutes 😅👍
Another fun fact! 😆 the part were the kids walk in to the room and scream are real reactions. They were not told about ET and that was their very first time seeing them. Same with Drew jumping when ET is getting jumped. They told her ET was real and she really thought he was dying.
When ET gets jumped?😂
@@j_crump6300 yeah, 😆 Jump start, isn’t that another term for cardioversion? 😆 the electrodes beat the shit out of the heart till it starts again. 😆
@@bluekg13 I completely misunderstood and was trying to remember if ET got attacked by a bunch of guys 😭
Love how you guys pronounce "Reesee's Piecees"! Having grown up in the '80s and '90s, I can say that yes, kids definitely went trick-r-treating and generally ran around the neighborhoods by themselves. One thing I never picked up on as a kid was the subtext about the dad having left the family for another woman. Their mom is at her wit's end, partly because she's a newly single parent and dealing with her husband leaving her. The kids are all dealing with it too, and Elliot being the sensitive one, his bond with E.T. helps him through this time. I read that Spielberg himself had an imaginary friend after his parents divorced, and that was his inspiration for the story. That personal significance is, I think, a big part of why the film is so touching.
Interesting how someone at M @ M’s said no. I wonder if he or she was fired for that decision.
@@laurakali6522 I think they did alright tho
Fun fact drew barrymore actually thought ET was real and used to talk to him in between takes. So Steven Spielberg would tell the puppeteers to keep et going to keep the magic alive for drew
All these years from when I saw itthe first time as a kid, to now as an adult. I still get weepy from the range of emotions this movie invokes. A true classic.
Nominated for 9 Oscars including Best Picture but won for
Best Visual Effects
Best Sound Editing
Best Film Editing
Best Original Score.
It was a huge success at the box office, making $790 million dollars against a $10 million dollar budget.
It opened up 2 weeks before John Carpenter's THE THING was in theaters, and when critics saw that film, they said "It was one hell of an antidote for ET." THE THING was the exact opposite of ET, showing a not-so-friendly alien going on a rampage.
Jen is just like my mom when she watches shows and movies. She cares so much about animals, kids, and anything cute and hates to see them get hurt, or in distress, and she even comments like Jen does, “I don’t like this.” Etc… 😂 Gets really emotional and empathetic towards the characters and animals.
I had just graduated from high school when this came out in 1982. Went to see it at the theater. $4.75 was the ticket price. Love the 80's.
And that must've been the full evening price! Lucky you. I was born several years later ('86). 'E.T' actually opened a week apart from 'Poltergeist', which Spielberg made back-to-back w/ it.
Huge reason the kids work so well is due to Spielberg shooting the film in chronological continuity so the kids build the bond with ET. Also, how funny is Jen? “on no I hope ET doesn’t die. Can you kill that spider?” Lol. Love her!
ET is a great movie to show the difference between a blockbuster from that era vs the modern blockbuster. ET drives drama through the characters and story that connect with the audience because it was so limited by technology. Today’s blockbusters lack that drama because they use special effects to drive the story. This is why ET holds up 40 years later where most modern blockbusters will essentially be forgotten.
After seeing this movie I tried the old thermometer on a light bulb trick. My mom was surprised when the thermometer read 120*
John Williams is a pure genius! such a stellar soundtrack
8:13 That reaction from Dee Wallace was genuine. Henry Thomas wasn't told what to call his brother, just that it had to sound mean, so he had to make it up. When Thomas shouted "penis breath", Wallace really did break character and started laughing before barely regaining herself to finish her line.
It's sadder for me when I realised why E.T. was dying was because of a broken heart :'(
ET was one of the movies from childhood that touches your heart and wrecks u... free willy, lion King, dragon heart and jurassic Park are some of the others
I saw this in the theatre and still gets me everytime I’m 53. Was such a huge movie when it came out. You will have to show Jen the new commercial they did a couple years ago
I have many fond memories of and associated with this movie. I was 11 years old when it was released, and I did not see it in an ordinary theater but a drive-in. It was so much more awesome seeing this for the first time under the stars; it made it more magical and special. That is one memory that will be with me to the day I die. The Christmas after this came out, one of my presents was a plush E.T. doll. That was my favorite present that Christmas and I had it for many years. A little bit of trivia: The biology teacher at the school was played by Harrison Ford. That's why you never see the teacher's face and Harrison Ford changed his voice a little, but, if you listen, you can tell it is him.
"With my luck he'd turn out like Roger from American Dad" - LMAO Holden
Need to show her the ET holiday special reunion from 2019
You should look up the screen test that Henry Thomas did for his role as Elliot. He could cry on command and make it real. They asked him how he did that and he responded: "I just think about when my dog died."
Fun fact! ET was supposed to be a sequel to Close Encounters but he fell in love with how the script turned in to a whole new thing so he kept it different.
I love that Drew Barrymore recently disclosed she thought he was real during filming.
22:36 I kept laughing at this part for so long 😂😂😂Holden that was golden
I think Jen would love The Last Starfighter (1984)! Great music, great aliens and a love story! Plus video games!
And don't forget the Music Man himself, Robert Preston!
I haven’t seen Mr. Preston in anything else besides this. For me, he will always be Centauri, a lovable con-man, alien, thing person 😊
@@billfrantz1638 he’s amazing in Victor/Victoria.
Fun fact: Drew wanted and auditioned to play the little girl in poltergeist but her godfather Steven Spielberg thought it was a little too mature of a movie for her age so he picked her to be in ET instead. Also when they found ET near the water used to freak me out as a child.
Fun fact the E.T. species is in the Star Wars universe, they make a cameo in the Phantom Menace
Fun fact E.T. is a Jedi. He uses the Force a number of times in the movie.
'82 is the year I got married and we went to see E.T. I cried then, and at 64 I STILL cry watching this movie. And I mean it's just as exhilerating and exciting and heartbreaking and heartwarming (for me) as it was then (I just finished watching it again). And it dawned on me that, this ISN'T a "kid's" movie. It's just a GREAT movie!!!
I was born right before this film was released. My parents took me “to see it” as an infant in the back row. So it was my first ever movie.
When in college, I took a short term class studying Christian Allegory in popular media. We discussed books, but also watched some great films, and E.T. was the highlight. The professor even did a trail of Reese’s Pieces to our film room that day and had a pile at each of our desks 🤣
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the allegory side, Holden. E.T. dies to save Elliot, is resurrected, and says “I’ll be right here” before he ascends to heaven.
Merry Christmas 🎄
I'd forgotten that Elliot was played by the same actor who plays the dad (younger version) in The Haunting of Hill House. His face is very recognisable.
I just busted out laughing when the spacesuit guy discovered ET. "You're powers are weak, old man." LOL. Brilliant!
Funfact: In this movie, E.T. is played by two actors because the first actor suffocated unplanned in the costume suit. Other times back then.
This movie never fails to make me cry. Every. Damn. Time. Since I was about 5. Breaks my heart.
My five year old watched ET this year and absolutely loved it.
I saw this at an "Un-titled" screening. A small ad in the newspaper advertised an advanced special screening of a new upcoming Spielberg movie. No title was given, limited seating, blah, blah. I went, waited in line, and was about 3-4 to the last in line for an available ticket. The audience loved the movie, all stood up a gave a loud rousing long standing ovation. This was a few months before its general release. I saw it again later and could see that there were just a few edits, tightening up scenes. According to what I've read, M&M passed as being the candy "bait" - and Recess jumped at the chance, and the rest is history! Because of this product placement Recess skyrocketed in sales and became the candy Powerhouse that it is today.
That's true - MARS either didn't want their candy associated with aliens or thought the movie would bomb (despite Spielberg's previous successes) so they passed. Reeses Pieces were brand new and Reeses jumped at the opportunity which brought them huge sales for their new candy. IIRC, the novelization of the movie still uses M & M's, although I haven't read it since the movie originally came out.
you should’ve showed Jen the little commercial where ET comes back and Elliot is older with his own family.
My Aunt took me to see E.T. in the theater. Being a year older than Drew Barrymore, I was devastated when E.T. got sick and died. I even remember what I ate that night for dinner, (I think only because of what it was, Fried Spam 🤢).
That girl Elliot kissed, is Shauni from the first 43 episode of Baywatch, and the "Dancer" on Underseage.
Also this is the Original version. The re-edit, E.T. was in the bath, and the Government had 2 way radios instead of guns.
“That’s not an alien!”
I expected her to call it a fish. lol
Little Fun Fact, they shot a Scene with Harrison Ford as the Principal talking to the Mom, but Test Audiences were to excited and were disappointed that he didn’t show up again so Spielberg decided to cut the Scene
This movie is my childhood. Makes me super nostalgic. I rode my bike to the theater when this first came out. Needless to say i thought i could fly it after 😂😂
I just love how Jen was reacting throughout the movie. She's so genuine, sweet, and supportive for E.T., the love of a mother y'all. Holden, You cutting to the credits as soon as E.T. is found near the river made me burst out laughing.
I was born in ‘79 and this is the first movie I remember seeing in a theater. I was only 3 or 4 but it was decidedly memorable!😅
Wow, this one took Jen for a ride on the emotional rollercoaster, didn't it? This is a great reaction video. Happy Holidays to you both, and thanks for the wonderful gift of this reaction!
I got to watch this in the IMAX this past August for its 40th anniversary, it was so cool seeing it on the big screen!
Your wife is an interesting character, lol. I still remember seeing this in theater as a kid almost the same age as Elliot. To this day it still moves me, and I think this movie is a great example of Spielberg at the height of his powers. When I think Spielberg I think of Jaws, Raiders, and this movie.
When I was little I used to call this movie E.T. The Extra Testicle.
Star Wars is set a long time ago in a galaxy far away...
E.T. is (acording to a stickeralbum i got as a kid) about ten million years old...
He clearly has the force (healing, levitating)...
Remembers Yoda...
E.T.s species is in Star Wars, E.T. recognizes Yoda, he uses the Force. E.T. is a Jedi! Change my mind.
I find it funny that your channels icon is a recreation of a famous scene from the movie, and you guys are finally getting around to it lol
Should include Flight of The Navigator as well, another 80's classic.
The edits in this were on point so funny! " Kids didnt fear ET at all" pan to the kids screaming XD
Love E.T. Fun fact the ET species are also in Star Wars Episode One The Phantom Menace! In the council scene, blink and you guys miss it!
I live to think somehow E.T. came from the “Galaxy far far away” to explore other worlds such as earth.
Which proves ET was a Jedi. Look at all the powers he has.
Damn it, Holden! I woke up my wife when you put that nasty spider on screen 😂 I can’t play cool when I see them haha
Great reaction as usual and your editing here was fantastic and hilarious as usual!
That spider in memoriam made my day
That shit made me burst out laughing 😂
Watching this in the cinema when I was about three is one of my formative memories. Well, my crying all the way home is the memory, not the film itself.
I cried then because I was sad that E.T. died (him coming back to life didn't seem to remedy my sadness). I cry now because it's so beautiful and wholesome.
Btw, E.T. for Atari didnt "almost bankrupt the gaming industry".. that's an urban legend. The "Game Over" doc about Atari covers this pretty extensively, up to the landfill dig.. the industry was already in decline, and after indie companies like Activision won the right to make unlicensed games, a flood of shovelware hit the system ... Arcades were doing poorly too by 83, which had nothing to do with E.T... video games were just considered a fad that had run its course. The landfill wasnt just ET, it was all unsold Atari stock.
Jen, I took my nephew to see this. He was 2, I think. He was really emotional during it. So much so, I talked about it for YEARS. I think you beat him on emotion.
Two scenes that scared me as a kid. When Elliot finds ET after leaving the Reese Pieces and ET screams. 😮😮😮 then when ET is almost dead in the riverbed. His body creeped me out. Also when they have Elliot in the plastic tubing hallway the FBI comes for whatever. Curious how Jen reacts
It's the Rees-Es Piec-Es for me. They are pieces. Like of a puzzle. That being said...I called them Piec-Es until I was in my 20s. Lol
I feel you Jen! As a child in theaters I had to be removed from the theater because I was crying so loudly when ET died 😂 nobody knew he would be okay at the time, they let me back in when he got better 😅
So glad you all reacted to this movie. At 6 y.o., my first film memory. So good!
Also just to let ya know, Holden, his name was Short Round 😊
"Oh my god he really died this is teriblllle"
* immediately kills a spider *
You should show Jen the Xfinity ET commercial that came out a couple years ago
The first movie I saw in the theater ca 1983. My father took me.. and I cried my eyes out at the end.
Btw loved Jens Friends reference.. "Hop on Gert"
It's actually in the scene where chancellor Valorum is remove from leadership of the galactic senate in phantom menace that you can spot the representatives of E.T.'s race.
The shot of the keys is from ET’s perspective/ eye level to depict his fear of being caught by the Feds.
I love how all the kids on bikes have random hats, hoods or other accessories on their heads, so that they can hide the fact that they're using stunt doubles during the chase scene.
Jen: that was in x files
Holden: this came first so
"...And take the condom outta my front yard..." killed me, guys..🤣🤣🤣💀💀 Nice one, Jen..lol.🤘🏻
E.T. is a masterpiece. 10/10 from me. I've seen this movie literally over a thousand times. It's a very rewatchable movie.
Debra Winder did the voice of E.T. Also, when I was a kid, all the kids saw this and were running around school with their finger sticking out and screaming, "E.T. Goooo Home!!"
This was the 1st movie I ever saw in a theater when I was 4. We named our younger son Elliot. Great reaction vid.
I bawled my eyes out when E.T. 'died'..... How do you guy not even shed a tear?? 🤨😂
I lost it when Jen thought ET died in the river and the credits rolled. 😂
Lmao when Holden said “if the music were different, this would be horrifying”.
Fun fact: The reason E.T eats Reese's Pieces is Mars, Incorporated refused to allow M&M's to be used in the film, believing that E.T. would frighten children. The Hershey Company was asked if Reese's Pieces could be used, and it agreed. This product placement resulted in a large increase in Reese's Pieces sales because at the time Reese's Pieces was a relatively new candy.
As with other commenters on this video.. I watched this movie as a young child and gained a HUGE phobia of E.T. Still have a phobia of him today...I laugh it off as funny, but my irrational fear of him still makes me avert my eyes every time I see a photo or movie clip of him. Safe to say this thumbnail took me by a nasty suprise when I scrolled and saw it 😂
"I just wanna know! How does this alien end of on this bike?!" 🤣
Since I was little every time I see Elliot unzip e.t.'s body bag and he immediately says "e.t. phone home" I crack up.
I completly forgot your pictur is literally you with E.T
Everyone: Reeses Pieces. Jen: Reesy Peasy lol
I wish E.T. would have gotten an official sequel that wasn't a Christmas/Car commercial and maybe end it there. I think the world could use that again. So much adorableness and heart💙💗💙💛
Happy belated 40th Anniversary Steven Spielberg's "E.T. : THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL" (JUNE 11, 1982)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
80s kid here. Yes we went trick or Treating on our own. Our parents never had to escort us anywhere. Today's parenting is super confusing to me.
The final ten minutes of this movie is peak John Williams.
Back then everyone still talked with there neighbors so the whole neighborhood looked at for the kids. Also, unlike today everyone in the neighborhood realy did participate in halloween so you could stay in the area and get a lot of candy. I was 8-10 and my parents just told me to be back by a certain time.
This is just one of my fav movies of all times, this and the ghostbusters movies
There are very few movies that have a soundtrack that works on its own without the movie and E.T. is one of them.
So Asogians (E.T.'s species) have a brief cameo in The Phantom Menace. This means there is a link from our galaxy to the Star Wars galaxy, which means that the Star Wars galaxy does exist at some point in our known universe. And since E.T. has powers, he would essentially have been a Force-sensitive being in the Star Wars galaxy, which ultimately means he could and maybe should have been Jedi. Therefore, I want a crossover story where I see a Jedi Asogian... maybe even E.T. himself.
Because E.T. is ten million years old, it all can fit. ;)
This movie affected so many things and people.
Neil Diamond's "Turn On Your Heart Light" was written about Elliott and ET's friendship!
