Not only do you have the audience clap when your kids come in but she’s wearing a Michelangelo TMNT outfit. That’s just super adorable. 😊
What I love about Downey Jr.'s character is that he is the very first to truly understand what's happened, but because he refuses to break character, he only tries to warn the others in the way his character would in the context of a melodramatic, Hollywood movie, so nobody believes him.
Well said. It's very curse-of-Cassandra lol
He breaks character beyond his character breaking character though, you can see him laugh multiple times during the movie lol
@@ItsAsparageese "He's not playing God, he's being judged by him." - That made me spit out my popcorn when I first saw this in theaters when it came out!
@@matthintz9468 for me it was “I don’t read the script. The script reads me.”
@@goldboy150 that's my favorite as well
14:42 The "Married with Children" style audience cheering cracked me up so hard. She's so cute!
RDJ absolutely broke character when he said "spit that shit out". Theres no way he didnt, such a great movie
Thankyou for actuals showing real movie footage, I'm tired of other channels muting everything
Damn, you got that it was Tom Cruise right away, props!
One of my favorite comedies. There is a mock documentary extra where Kirk, as Lincoln, takes Lincoln's family hostage in some sort of mental break/episode. LMFAO.
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
I love when the babies make an appearance. Awesome parents. Stopping to give them attention. ❤
14:41 awww she's too adorable and cute 🤗 best part of the video for me.
Awww, that was the cutest Michelangelo ever! Also great film, a classic!
May I suggest to all of you to search for the commentary there is a version here on YT
It’s so good they all are like a bunch of friends talking having a laugh and YES RDJ stays in character
I was watching one of your old videos and you both seem awkward about the camera looking at you 🥹😂
you’ve both come a long ways😘👍
I enjoy hanging out with you two
I can confirm that Robert DJ did not drop character for the DVD commentary. Lol give it a listen it’s so funny all the actors laughing why’ll he’s doing his commentary. One the more fun listens.
I still think every actor in this movie has seriously done a life achievement with this movie !
That new war movie that came out all quiet on the western front is a good one, should maybe check it out
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you🎁
The ninja turtle pajamas were so cute.
Also the reactions were amazing
The Donatello cameo was a welcome surprise
I think you can say with certainty, that you wouldn't get sat-phone reception "under a tundra."
"Under a tundra"? lol Tundra's have zero trees. I assume you meant a canopy
What you mean You people?! WHAT YOU MEAN YOU PEOPLE!!! by the far the funniest part for me
So many 'Platoon' references. Ben Stiller doing his best William Davoe.
Cellphones do not make a direct satellite connection for calls.
Soooo many great one liners..lol...."swallow the gravy"...yo..lol
Never noticed this before but is that audience reaction when your daughter walks in from Married with children
Speaking of Justin Theroux, he's phenomenal in the TV show "The Leftovers". It's a great show and less than 30 episodes, so you could try it on your channel.
14:41 Heerrreee's Ms Movies Jr!!!
also you gotta check bill burr while he is flying a helicopter, he has those clips (not the short ones) also more of theo, bobby lee, uncle joey (they are not flying a copter, just podcasts or comedy bits would be great)
The movie is called Platoon Charlie Sheen is the protagonist
I actually clapped when the tiny Michael angelo entered lol 😆
I know it’s supposed to be a joke, but I would totally watch Simple Jack. I want to watch Simple Jack right now.
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
A Mikey PJ. You both are the BEST parents EVER!
The kid outta nowhere 🤣🤣.
Brilliant movie.
I love that as a modern society we have collectively agreed that Black-face is NOT cool.... But that we all give RDJ a complete universal pass for this one 🤣🤣
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you🎁
My heart 😍
Your baby girl is beautiful.
Also awesome reaction
Platoon is one of the biggest films they parody.
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
I missed both this and Old School when I was at the prime age for it in 8th-12th grade and everybody quoted it. watched them both years later, don't care for more than a couple jokes.
meanwhile Wedding Crashers and Superbad I watched in my 30s and lloved them.
Congrats on your opinion
Btw - you did not watch the original cut - there are two edits of this movie and the other cut was better. There is also an alternative cut of Anchorman one does not need to watch.
Jack Black was Chris Farley
"I'm just a little boy playing with his dick when he's nervous" might be the funniest thing ever written.
Like, who thinks of that, writes it, gives it to a actor who says it and makes it hilarious lol
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
You know what I never got about this movie is why nobody ever wondered why a guy with "no hands" was carrying a side arm.
And a Desert Eagle at that...
@@benschultz1784 im pretty sure from what little of it you can see in the film, notable its solid wood grip, that its some kind of revolver. IMFDB doesnt even list it
They definitely could make tropic thunder 2 or make the original today, audience wise. The perpetually offended ppl are a very small percentage of the population. The reasons they don't make stuff like this anymore is because they are scared of bad press from whiny journalists, are scared investors will react to the negative press and will pull out and hurt their stock prices, and are scared of internal push back from whiny employees and lower level management and executives.
Tarantino gets away with a lot. But he has been grandfathered in. Almost all the most popular stand up comics have talked about or their whole shtick is talking about how PC culture is crazy. But the industry won't touch most of the newer comics that have gotten super famous on the internet. The comics that made it big before this culture really went into hyperdrive, like Ricky Gervais and Chapelle etc, get a pass because they have been grandfathered in.
The PC culture is destroying the industry and several executives have come out and said they need to dial it back because its costing them. Also, some directors have hinted at but not out right called out the negatives of PC culture on the creative end.
This movie was fu**ing great .😵 Some one said they were close to me 😵?
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
That kid is adorable 🤣
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
The character who keep talking too much? Is the voice where the main character on how to train your Dragon. The Only other movie I’ve seen him in was the sorcerers apprentice
Remember when comedies were funny. In this current climate there's no way anybody would make this kind of movie.
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you🎁
Best thing about Tom Cruise's character is that it was all Tom's idea. The look and the dance, everything.
There is a story that he demanded fat fingers. "He has to have fat fingers!"
Isn't he channeling Harvey Weinstein?
A nutless monkey could do his job. 😏
@@abeartheycallFozzy The term he used was "Ridiculously large hands" That and the dance scene was all he wanted.
@@shanester1832 there’s a bunch of producers in that look.
My favorite scene: “For four hundred years that word has kept us down” followed by The Jefferson’s lyrics. Alpa’s reactions are gold.
"Man just cause it's the theme song don't make it not true 🤷🏿"
Wild lmaooo couldn't b these days
Lmaooooooo
@@rtvnartavian09 thats what people said/say about Blazing Saddles... and then this came out. Ofc it can be done even now... its just about HOW its done.
it's so fucknig good eveerytime it gets me
This isn’t _a_ parody movie, this is _THE_ parody movie!
Probably the best meta comedy film ever made!
Ben Stiller’s masterpiece.
The "Never-go-full-retard" scene this cracks me up!
People are too soft now
@@NewCandyCane stuff like this is still made today. this narrative that everyone is too soft is fox news propaganda.
''You talking to me this whole time?''
Gets me every time.
Me too. This MAY be my favorite scene because its such a throwaway scene
Gamer talk.
I was talking to whoever was listening.. 😳
Marriage in a nutshell lol
And it was all improvised by Baruchel.
Robert Downey Jr was actually nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the movie
On most other years he would have won
did you watch the video? they literally said that word for word
He was robbed!
@@AimekReacts chill, dude. It was probably written before they said that
Most quotable “character” ever!
RDJ
The perfect parody of the entire movie industry.
A lot of Reactors don't get that!
If only Don Rickles and Paul Ross were in this than it would be a roast of Hollywood
@x See : "Rust"!
As far as self-deprecating Hollywood movie, this one definitely belongs with the greats, "The Bad and the Beautiful" and "The Player". Most amazing thing is, it was conceived by Ben Stiller, the same guy who did Zoolander and Cable Guy.
The last true great parody
Not only did Robert Downey Jr. remain in character during the DVD commentary, he did it in real time even revealing his Australian character as done on screen only returning to himself, the actor during the credits.
What’s your top 3 black faces?
@@howardb.6205 Firstly mine, Samuel Jackson and I guess Pam Grier. She was beautiful.
Underrated comment
Yea there’s another entire doc style video of rdj character that’s epic, I believe it’s on RUclips
Strangely his Australian accent in the DVD commentary is much better than his one in the film.
The fact that Tom Cruise could have anything he wanted in this movie but chose to play this is gold. He probably pay for all of his filming too. That's how you know actors were just enjoying themselves
I love McConaugheys overall performance, his reactions to everything were perfect
At least you get to choose yours....
@@bigbubbano23im stuck with mine. Hmm.
"What do you mean, 'you people?'"
"....What do YOU mean, 'you people??'"
my friends and I always quote this and many other lines from this movie. Iconic xD
"I love the first 5 Scorcher movies, so I can't wait for that" 😂💀
As an Australian, I'd like to thank you for including for including the "That man's a national hero" line!
Fuck Yeah!!!!
My favorite line in the movie, the one that I go around repeating, is
"I'm sorry a dingo ate ya' baby".
"Do you know that's a true story"?
Cracks me up every time I see it. I know it's coming and I still can't help but laugh.
This is one of my favorite movies ever. It's not just a comedy, there is a lot of commentary on stereotyping and discrimination in general, obviously in terms of Ben Stiller playing someone with disability and RDJ in blackface. I love how generally people still love this movie. Someone tried to "cancel" RDJ for blackface a litlle back and all of Black Twitter put that down immediately. There will be no Tropic Thunder slander, ever. LMAO.
Is there REALLY "commentary" about stereotyping and discrimination? They just made funny characters ... and those NEED (in a certain style of humor) EXAGGERATION, which lands you right in the "disability" and "playing blackface" (because that is the visual way to say "method actor") corners.
"Commentary" is something serious ... and also includes a conclusion ... which is completely missing from the movie. "JUST HAVE FUN WITH OUTRAGEOUS CHARACTERS ... and dont judge at all", that's the message of the movie!
@@Muck006
I mean, there is commentary on it: just because commentary is presented in a certain style, be that comedic or otherwise, doesn't mean it's not addressing something. That's what seperates simple parody from satirisation, which this movie does do: I mean, I still remember when the Ancient One in Marvel was getting so much crap because the role was played by a caucasian woman instead of Asian man. Kevin Feige is still getting crap for this 'whitewashing' to this day, to the point he apologised last year despite casting for the role happening almost 9 years ago and he openly said he was trying to avoid stereotyping when he chose the role.
Alpa Chino playing the 'straight man' whenever Kirk goes a little too far in his portrayal is a perfect lampshade of how a lot of people view casting in Holywood:
"Maybe I just knew I had to represent, because they had one good part for a black man and they gave it to *cRoCoDILe dUnDeE*".
Just because it's not a dark and scathing world like the Watchmen, or a corporatocracy and politics angle like The Boys, doesn't mean it isn't a nice distorted mirror of the modern world.
@@Muck006 From my understanding of the term, I would disagree with both assertions that commentary must be serious and needs to include a conclusion.
My understanding of Commentary is that it draws one's attention to a situation from a perspective that differs from the norm, in an effort to make you view said situation in a fresh and enlightening manner. It is perfectly acceptable to do that and allow the viewer to draw their own conclusions, rather than forcing your own. In fact, it is infinitely more effective to do that, because everyone is more inclined to believe a conclusion to which they themselves have come, rather than one that has been pushed upon them. It is your job as the commentator to highlight that situation in such a manner that the conclusion to which the viewer comes is self-evident, without you having to spell it out for them. And if they come to a different conclusion to yours... well then even better, because the entire purpose of commentary is to provide differing and unique perspectives so as to help us all better understand the objective Truth of a situation.
Likewise, it is often far more effective to call attention to a serious situation with comedy that shows an EXAGGERATED viewpoint (yet still within the boundaries of Truth), with the express purpose of driving home the point that is being made, rather than merely pointing it out in a serious tone. Comedy, especially the comedy of this movie, relies on absurdity for its humour and absurdity is one of the most effective means by which to draw attention to a situation that needs to change. When one realises how absurd the truth of any bad situation really is, one can truly appreciate the need for transformation in order for sanity to be restored.
Robert Downey Jr is the only person in history to wear black face and not only not get shit for it, but was nominated for a Oscar. I love this movie so much.😂
It's not blackface. Blackface is wearing greasepaint to create a non-specific derogatory caricature. This is a great characterization.
It's also not blackface because Downey Jr is, in fact, playing a white character. It's satirizing black face and Hollywood casting white folks in everything. And that's an important distinction.
Cruise should also have been nominated..
To be fair Ledger earned the win
Not a "moment" as such, but my favorite running gag though most of the movie is the entire series of interactions between Alpa Chino and Kirk Lazarus, where Chino just gets more and more offended every time Lazarus opens his mouth.
That and eveyine getting sanduskys name wrong every time. Lol
Tom Cruise's "I WILL F*** YOU UP!" rant is probably my favorite bit.
Hobo's dickcheese😂😂😂
The whole "You have hands" bit is kinda funny, but Jack Black interpreting it as "You grew hands!?" is hilarious.
Really wish Tom Cruise did more comedies, he was hilarious in this one. When he was asked for the movie, all he said was, that he wanted big hands and dance to Flo Rida's "Low".
I liked his cameo in Austin Powers too
He's dedicated himself to one for decades, Scientology
"Damien cut!" is one of my favorite scenes in a movie. LMAO the fact hes being tortured and thinks its still the movie! I lose it every time!
I absolutely think a Tropic Thunder 2 or similarly styled film could be made addressing superhero films, the new prestige of TV and streaming, and social media's effects on an actor's career. The question is would the studio have the balls to go all out? There I think no.
If I'm not mistaken there is a periodic reality tv element in The Boys. I think there are times where they're being followed by camera men and do semi confessionals. It's been a while since I've watched it but I think so
@@brandonhinrichs4393 there is a little bit of that in The Boys, but that's not exactly a realistic show.
Not after the experience Ben Stiller had with Zoolander 2. He's back to Tv these days and took a long break from movies
Superhero capeshit does a good enough job parodying itself
@@vb8428I think they should probably should continue the story between the actors if there ever was a sequel but I hope he gets over this ptsd from sequels. In all honesty I think everyone behind the camera and the actors tried to hard to be funny and tried to hard to recreate and recapture what they did in the first one. That’s why it failed in my opinion
The studio applause for the entrance was inspired.
Sounded like a Married With Children track as well.
@@fs127 Aaaal, did you miss me? - With every bullet so far
Cruise is AMAZING in this movie .... and BTW what a cast for this parody!
This movie saved Cruise's career. People forget that his career was disturbingly close to Tugg Speedman's at this point
When any one of my family goes on and on and on about something, eventually I'll say "You talking to me this whole time?". That's one of my favourite bits, but with this film it's like picking a diamond out of One Eyed Willie's treasure hoard.
Funniest scenes goes to the campfire scenes with Jack Black tied to a tree to RDJ yelling "what you getting at with the book script? Spit that sh*t out man!" to "Lance!". I absolutely died during these scenes.
Agreed! RDJ's face and look when he says that line is histerical...
Jack Black is best when he gets something to really work with, Jumanji was such a great movie in no small parts because of his chops.
Actually the movie "Platoon" is the Vietnam movie most parodied in this film, followed by Apocalypse Now.
I was gonna say that. Like when RDJ says, "You make it home alive" when Ben is getting shot in the back and put up his arms, that's definitely Platoon.
50/50 but that scene they're doing at the beginning, ALL "Platoon" ...later when Speedman loses it, that's a bit more
"Apocalypse Now"
"Let's move, we only have 16 hours till they wake up!!" Easily my favourite line in the movie!!
Love how he knows that lol
One of my favorites! Your kids are so darn cute! I’m sure it annoys you but I love it when they interrupt. The fact that you guys shut everything down to take care of their needs tells me that you’re great parents. Tobey Maguire doesn’t get enough credit for being called up to a very small bit and he said sure! And he nailed it! Yes, Apocalypse Now and Platoon were the most referenced I think. Keep it up guys, love ya!
Cornholio didn't say "I go pee-pee from my bunghole". 😂😅 He said "I need TP for my bunghole". That was hilarious!!
One of Tom's best roles, imo, this and "Collateral" make him more than an action star.
Magnolia, born on the 4th of July, rain man. Definitely can act.
Fourth of July and Interview with a vampire are his best in my opinion.
Tom Cruise is a troubled individual off camera, but it must be said that he is probably one of the best actors of our generation!
Biggest movie star of all time
@@scottbarkley496disagree, has to be Arnold, but Tom is definitely in that legendary tier
The character that Robert Downey played deserves his own movie played by him. I’m black and I loved it. Funniest character by far.
Great catch seeing Justin Theroux near the beginning. He actually co-wrote this movie with Ben Stiller.
I knew he wrote and directed it but I had no idea he resurrected his DJ role from Zoolander. I never caught that in all the times I’ve seen it lol
Tom Cruise did an interview where he talked about doing this Les Grossman role in a movie. He wanted to make the character have big hairy arms and hands. He was signed on to do this movie but it was literally written in that he had the final say in how the character looked. I am not the biggest TC fan out there but this is by far my favorite role he has ever done and played it perfectly.
“I want fat hands, and I want to dance” were his exact words iirc!
He is the GOAT ..
You're a hater
Agreed. I'm not been much of a Tom cruise fan since the 90s but his very overdone character was the cherry on top of one of the best comedies ever made. This movie is too damn funny
@@scottbarkley496We get it, you’re obsessed to the point of being really creepy. Doesn’t make OP a hater just because he didn’t sit there riding Tom Cruise’s dick, though. He didn’t say a single negative word about Cruise-just that he isn’t the biggest fan. Get the hell over yourself, you psychotic groupie.

This movie came out in 08 which still surprises me given how close we were to strong PC culture which was coming right around the corner. What a great movie.
I always appreciate Jay Baruchel's performances.
Everything about this film is amazing. All the performances are spot on, especially Tom Cruise's. Just perfect. And you can tell he's having such fun playing Grossman.
I didn't realise it was him fist time I watched it until he said "he is a white dwarf heading into a black hole. That's physics, it's inevitable"
Because it was a very scientology thing to say.
"You talking to me this whole time?" has to the greatest line in the film! So many small throw away lines and that one was the best.
"I need some dudes that speak American Goddammit" was one of my favorites.
What would Tropic Thunder 2 be about? They wrapped up everything in the film. The drug guys coming after the actors? Tugg Speedman trying to make and direct the film, they were making in the first one? Speedman having to hide from rabid PETA members, for killing a panda? I would love to see these guys back together in a film like this one, but how would you pull off a sequel?
It's crazy to me how many people who don't get Stiller's dialogue. He has some of the funniest lines in the film and I've seen people not react to them because the jokes flew over their heads.
I only watched this once after it came out on home video, It was my wifes choice of movie for the evening and I was only half paying attention to it as I was doing some work from home. The first scene with the Les Grossman character was bugging the hell out of me because I couldn't figure out who the actor was. By his second or third scene I really had my nose in my work but just heard the voice and immediately looked up and said" OMG it his him!" My wife still hadn't picked up on the actor so I wrote it down on a peice of paper and she kept trying to figure it out through the end credits. She still didn't believe it was Tom Cruise when she saw his name in the credits and then went back to watch his scenes and by then, " now I know I can't unsee it."
Funniest parts for me are basically most of RDJ's scenes. I seriously forget it's him so many times because he says things in a way that is very culturally in line with at least the way I grew up and the people I grew up around lol
1. The way he fakes out Tug by complimenting his physique only to snatch the map: "gimme that gotdamn map" 🤣
2. The way he goes "MFer did you say Lance?" when Alpa accidentally comes out of the closet 🤣🤣
3. The "you people" bit gets a chuckle out of me every time, but that's Alpa's perfect timing that makes that pop hahah
I love Danny McBride. His best role is as Kenny Powers in the series Eastbound & Down. Another one of his early film roles is in the Andy Samberg led comedy, Hot Rod.
" Land of the Lost "
Love Danny McBride in this and Hot Rod, those are his funniest movies in my opinion.
I love him in This is the end.
Hwhishkey
hot rod really under appreciated
I was kinda shocked with how good this movie was when I first saw it. Not a bad performance from anyone in the cast.
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you🎁
Fun fact: the story of the explosion with no cameras recording is actually a true story, but from The good, the bad and the ugly.
I also cheered when your little girl walked in. Cute cameo
I think, in spite of expectations, a movie like this today would be just another smash hit. I know people would go after it but I think people would show up for the movie, too. It's obviously an uphill battle.
this movie never fails to make me laugh, regardless of how many times I watch it. One of the best satire movies ever
I think she missed the part where he flung the kid... because she didnt fall on the floor dieing of laughter.
Hello, thanks for watching commenting and showing love 👆something special for you^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^🎁
I like when the director just explodes unexpectedly from stepping on the mine. Scared the crap out of me first time I saw it.
Saw this movie 3 times in theaters and every time was a blast with a crowd of people laughing there asses off, this movie is so good
Tropic Thunder, the movie with many touches of reality and life lessons but most importantly, the words of wisdom many of the current generation seemed to have not learned: "never go full retard."
I absolutely LOVE the sitcom entrance applause when the munchkins appear. Never stop that!!! 🤟😎
When the movie was released, all the fake trailers and ads were shown as if they were real, mixed up with actual movie trailers and ads as we would normally see in the theater before the movie started. A lot of people got really confused and that made it even more hilarious.
You definitely know it had the right cast at the right time
😊
Guys should definitely check out We’re The Millers, hilarious hidden jem I believe you guys would love!
We’ve seen that one. It’s pretty funny. Plus. That shower scene. 🚿
@@YouMeTheMovies YES! That shower scene, "Friends" missed out.
The shower scene was probably the only part of the movie that the theater was not laughing at all.
