Tech Director: Josh “JTE” Tapia

Dan's tombstone: "I never in my wildest dreams believed we would be set upon by a rabid pack of Walton's fans."
Let’s still remember dan watched this 2 years ago just to find out they were doing King Kong instead!!
"A clown is funny in the circus ring. But what would be the normal reaction to opening a door at midnight, and finding the same clown standing there in the moonlight?"
- Lon Chaney
My weekly Joe comments, very exciting he's slowly transforming from "Hipster Joe" to "Magnum PI Joe". Loving it.
Gotta love Spencer's love/hate relationship with the comments
Dan. Your Alf turned into Bernie Sanders.
Honest trailer of the Phantom of the Opera film (2004) because it had akward scenes in it, also there would be great jokes on the songs that you always do for musical films
They've have to get Felecia Day or somebody like that in to sing.
would be good to time this with this the release of cats.
@@potterpotty01 Oh yeah, true
I always thought the scary clown trope came from John Wayne Gacy
I think that's where the killer clown trope comes from. Clowns have always been unsettling because of the whole uncanny valley thing.
I thought Cesar Romero?
That's what I thought was well.
I believe Joker was before that?
I don’t remember when Gacy was an active murderer, but I think everyone understood that Joker from DC Comics had nothing to do with people being afraid of all clowns, joker was a comic book villain that fell in a vat of acid and got deformed so bad that his face and skin was extremely pale and he can’t stop smiling (Red Hood Storyline I Know) but the main point was yeah clowns never really scared me either
I really like that Tim Curry plays Pennywise as a creepy, over-acting figure who wears ridiculous costumes, seamlessly blends into the background, and conjures his victims through over-the-top gestures and catchphrases…so basically the real-life Tim Curry.
The “Scott” joke is so good and they just brush right past it.
Tim Curry is a national treasure
But which nation? He's british by birth...
Yes, I remember Sea Quest, Three’s Company, Night Court and The Waltons! And Tim Curry (Annie, Rocky Horror)!
"Legend" film for Tim Curry as well.
Yup, Gen X representing on Honest Trailers. :) Although, dammit, I'm not ready for the geriatric jokes yet. Please, let me hold onto my illusions that being in your 40's isn't old, lol.
I thought Night Court was a fever dream created by Mr. Plinkett.. do you mean he gaslit this thing into existence??
When you don’t even have notifications on but you’re on RUclips all the time
Isn't that the way it works? Do people really rely on notifications with how iffy they are?
Do you even watch the show formerly known as “SJU”? You gotta smash that bell! (Ryan’s cue)
So the next episode of Fandom Uncovered will be about The Waltons, right?
Dudes, most of us watched the waldons at our grandparents
See guys, y'all gotta cater to the Walton fandom if y'all want that EMMY
Tim Curry in Clue is my absolute favorite Tim Curry at the height of his powers performance carrying a movie
How could you forget the classic Dunstin checks in?! Shame!
Apex Mountain
oh man, i would love to see an honest trailer for Clue!
@@pennavedc who did Tim Curry play in that one? I only remember Jason Alexander
Yes, the AARP members love you!!! Don't forget The Waltons! :-)
"THE SHOWERS ARE SPRAYING PEE PEE" is the most accurate description of Impractical Jokers I've ever heard.
Everyone's Sean Connery just sounds like Jim Carrey's Grinch.
Well now I'm gonna enjoy The Grinch so much more!
I love how Joe and Dan are growing beards. Lon already has one. And Spencer's got a smooth face😂
Also Joe that mustache is on point!
I'm not sure i like Joes facial hair, it makes him look like a character from Boogie Nights
Men really have no standards of hygiene and appearance
@@emhu2594 Well their beards are in that awkward stage between like full beard and no beard. It's a transition phase. And I wouldn't say that at all. I think there is a standard depending on what look you're going for. Beard or no beard. That's sort of thing but you have those people that choose to ignore it or aren't aware of it at all
Joe looks like Luigi we all know it.
I loved SeaQuest. Tween me was devastated when Jonathan Brandis died.
I would love an Alf Honest TV Trailer!
Didn't John Wayne Gacy make clowns scary in the 70s?
The Waltons bit and comments was too funny. 😂😂 I was really surprised (not angry) that there was no reference in the HT. Then you guys got to that bit in the commentary. 😂😂
This bloody family show is on constant reruns in Germany (& probably in a lot of countries all over the world). 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really love these HT commentary vids. Also good choice to wait 24hrs to include viewer comments👍🏾👍🏾🤓🤓
spikehikari yess! The waltons still play in the USA too 😂😂
I secretly hope that Joe gets a bonus every time he works in a Fandom synergy plug.
I remember my first ever nightmare at around 5 years old was about a naked Ronald McDonald chasing me. It was very disturbing. So yes, clowns are scary, no matter what age you are.
Identifying myself as one of your "older audience" that knows who Richard Thomas is. Your channel has a larger reach than you realize.
How do I know it's Wednesday? My favorite web show, Honest Trailers Commentary hits RUclips. Love you guys
Thank you for paying Jonathan Brandis the respect that he deserves!!
@@ThreadBomb It was a sad to find out how he passed away, such a great actor.
I, an old dude, have come out of total lurk mode to thank the esteemed Spenny G for “Little House on the Who Gives a F....”. 👍👍👍
I used to be SO in love with Jonathan Brandis in Seaquest. Poor guy, fame can be a terrible thing.
"Battle Beyond the Stars" is the true Richard Thomas classic
Yes!!!!! The ship with breasts...the Magnificent Seven in Space. St. Exmin of the Valkyrie,Gelt(Robert Vaughn), Cowboy(George Peppard),Nestor against Sador(JohnSaxon). I still enjoy watching this movie.
Yep, but even when watching that I couldn't shake that it was a 'John Boy in Space' movie.
I am a proud 40 year old viewer... bring on the "outdated" jokes, fellas! I'm ready! lol
Is it me or does Joe Star's mustache make him look like Magnum P.I.s under-developed twin?
How dare you call Kim Possible a Gen Z show. That is prime Millennial artwork
Hey man, I'm 27, from the south of Brasil and even I have heard my parents mention this "John Boy" guy.
I think "Good Night, John Boy" was an old-timey meme or something
Yeah I've heard of John Boy, but I couldn't tell you anything about him let alone recognize the actor.
@@notme222 Me neither, but it goes to show that the character was "kind of a Big Deal"
LOL old-timey meme sounds about right. I actually never heard of this until 3 years ago, at my best friends house, her and her family would say "Goodnight, John Boy," to each other randomly and then we started saying it, and to this day we still randomly say "Goodnight, John Boy" and I had no idea where it was from until this Honest Trailer said where it was from.
The real injustice is overlooking Olivia Hussey as the wife. Franco Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet, come on!
I remember watching that in high school!
I'm 29 and would love to see Honest Trailers do The Philadelphia Story :)
I'm 26, and its one of the best and most fun movies I've ever seen!
The best line in Congo is " Stop eating my sesame cake!!!"
And this movie introduced us to the deep bass of Kevin Grevioux, writer/producer, actor in the Underworld franchise.
The Walton's was apparently the Rick and Morty if it's time at least in terms of fan quality.
I think it's just that everyone knows John Boy Walton (except maybe a few of the younger generation). It was way before my time but I definitely knew of it and have seen a handful of episodes.
Yeah, that mole is a dead giveaway. I’m an 84 baby, but I’d recognize John Boy anywhere!
Don't mess with those Waltons. Good night John-boy.
Every time I see that name I think "Dammit Ellis put the phone down THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO KILL YOU"
@@VolguusZildrohar
Hans..
*Bubbe!*
8:55 I can't hear the word Implication without thinking of Its Always Sunny
You can tell from Spencer's eyes that he was thinking of it too
Thank you. Same here.
Forget modern stuff like The Waltons. I need joke reference to Stagecoach or Some Like it Hot.
Showboat (1936)
If they don’t work in a Gentlemen Prefer Blondes joke in the next few months, *I’m unsubscribing*
The guys: why are people scarred of clowns
Me yelling at my phone: JOHN WAYNE GASEY!!!!!!!
Beverly Tenhagen me too😂
I like joe's 1970s off-duty cop look.
Please do a honest trailer for Death Becomes Her (1992) would be funny on your take on it.
I love that film. It's so amazingly ridiculous. I would love to hear their take on it
You watched that on Stars this weekend too huh LOL
i love that one, i don't think they'll do it, it's not that popular
Growing up it was on HBO on rotation almost weekly about a year.
@@keyveehill No. Watched it for the first time about a month ago here in Britain
Clowns became scary to me as a kid going to small traveling circuses and fairs, followed by the movie Poltergeist so by the time we got the IT TV special in 1990, I was already in clown NOPE mode.
Edit: I laughed at the "John Boy Walton" being lumped in with "These Guys." I knew who he was, but I thought it was hilarious.
Hell hath no fury like The Waltons fandom
I didn't even blink initially when they didn't do a John Boy reference. I thought I was one of the oldest HT fans at 43, and that's even waaaaaaaaaay before MY time.
@@kevinw712 I don't know The Waltons much, I'm sure my parents do. They don't watch Honest Trailers though.
@@andrewfeistner3384 I mean, I've never seen an actual episode of the Waltons, nor do I ever care to, but I was in single digits for the back half of its run so I'm aware of what it is. The biggest part of it that's held over in pop culture at all, if you've ever seen a show or movie do a bit where they have every member of a family say goodnight to each other member at bed time (from an exterior shot of the house), that's basically a parody of the most enduring Walton's element. I'm sure Family Guy's done that joke at some point.
Kevin W Family Guy has done a joke about The Waltons. The joke ends with John-Boy saying,” Damnit. Can't a guy masterbate in this house!"
@@kevinw712 Family Guy has done that joke, that's my main touchstone for The Waltons.
To be fair, I’m 18 and watched the Waltons growing up cause it was the only thing on when I got home from school.
Does Dan also write Alf fanfic? I mean I came here for the laughs, stayed for the Alf
Indeed, yall did John Boy wrong, man! I just figured you were all too young to know, and reruns of the waltons are less frequent than Little House on the prairie.
Where im from the line up on deji vu every day is little house, waltons, and Murdock mysteries. so I know the Waltons very well. (24yrs old), its a fantastic show
Waltons are a vague memory to me from that one time when I was ill back in the early 80s and that was what my parents were watching while I lay on their bed with a very high fever. That is my whole experience with the show.
Man, I miss this era of Honest Trailers/SJU/Fandom or whatever. I miss Dan, Joe, and Spencer together. I miss Movie Fights. I am feeling oddly emotional.
The Waltons is STILL on in the UK at like 4 in the morning
Lol Dan pointing out the hidden Alan.
Never underestimate angry Boomers.
In the U.K. they played the waltons every Sunday till 1999
They're not really thinking that hard. Like pretty much all vaguely popular shows that made it to 100 episodes, The Waltons was on in syndication in the U.S. until the end of the 90s.
Also, pretty much every adult cast member in the movie was a pretty big star. Aside from John Boy, Dennis Christopher starred in the Oscar-winning Breaking Away and Richard Masur was seemingly in everything in the 70s and 80s as a fairly memorable character actor. Olivia Hussey was even in there.
The Waltons is still played on tv in Canada on weeknights!
Channel 4, IIRC.
Really great job at hiding the Alan raptor.
Jonathan Brandis was my childhood crush. Loved him in Born Free. RIP!
Okay, who wants a reboot of ALF with Dan doing ALF's voice? :D
Who doesn't?
I'd be happy just with the ALF Honest Trailer.
"a FINE year for Mini-series..." I love that Lon for a brief moment went into his Schmoedown character persona.
At the time, Richard Thomas was one of the stars cast to sell this mini series along with John Ritter. The way you presented him in the finished honest trailer made it seem you didn't know that ...
They didn't. Instead of admitting that, they kinda made it seem like their older fans were being ridiculous by bringing it up. Left a bad taste in my mouth. And I didn't even watch the Waltons growing up. Just the way they talked about it was belittling. 🤷🏻♀️
@@roshieifra lol ... I know, right? Acting like "Good Lord! Old Fogies watch our show?!?!" ....
... huh, I guess I shouldn't expect much when Spencer still hasn't got a clue what people are talking about, thinking Richard Thomas was on Little House on the Prairie ... confused with Michael Landon? who also starred in 'I was a Teenage Werewolf' ... which was one of the guises Pennywise scares the kids with in the book ... I mean, c'mon, man! I was nerd long before nerd was cool. Old fogies like me were taking the wedgies in the locker rooms back in the day so you fellas could be sitting in your studios doing what you do .... a little respect please! :P
Yup, broke my old heart too! I think they'd be surprised how many of their fans/former fans are older versions of their own damn selves.
But yeah, I think these guys have probably been dealing with too many comments from the youngest end of the internet spectrum that they've forgotten that people older than them do watch RUclips too, and yes, some of those older internet users may be movie/TV nerds that enjoy snarky humour series like this one.
@@Hapsard both The Waltons and Little House are over 50 years old at this point.. I think after half a century in pop culture, the “old fogies” comments become appropriate. But who tf am I kidding? I’m only about 15 years away from semi-centennial status myself. I still watch Cheers on a normal rotation fwiw
Joe circa 2017 "My first draft of the IT miniseries might be my best work yet!" cut to Spencer "Joe's come a long way." Amazing! Love you guys!
Tim Curry in Clue is the most amazing thing ever. ....wait please do a trailer on Clue 😭
I'm younger than the IT mini series and I've seen the Waltons, it's still on in the depths of UK TV, lol. I loved the trailer and this commentary, made me laugh!
Kinda feel like John Boy is more significant a cultural role than the Dad from Sister Sister
I need the whole screen junkies crew to do impressions of characters or actors 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can’t stop laughing 😂
I will admit that I'm one of the old(ish) audience member here, and much as I actually enjoyed the series, the "Little House on the Who Gives a..." crack made me laugh so unexpectedly and loudly, my dog now looks worried, like he thinks I may be having a stroke.
I was surprised you guys didn't mention John-Boy in the trailer, and I'm younger than you guys.
Man. I was 3 when Richard Thomas stopped playing John Boy. I still knew who he was, lol. Because my parents were still watching The Waltons reruns in the 80s.
I think the scariest clown, was the clown doll in Poltergeist. That thing was creepy. Oh, and, "good night, John Boy," was a thing in pop culture loong after the series, so that and reruns are how people know The Waltons. I mean, it was cable, there were tons of channels with many hours to fill, so something that was long, and family friendly, was going to be put in rotation for a while.
Sorry to be part of the Waltons pile, I didn't realize so many were vitriolic. I'm Dan's age, and didn't even see much of it as a kid, but enough of the cartoons and sitcoms references happened as a kid that "Good night John-Boy" seemed obvious to me. But I certainly get you guys point. I love all of the references you did get in there though. :)
Also, I'd never thought of it before, but now that Lon mentioned it, I want to see you do Parallax View.
It is not the fact that he played John Boy Walton.. it is just Goodnight John Boy .. is a pop culture reference. I think I may have saw the Waltons like twice.
A joke something like "Good fright John Boy." should be low hanging fruit, and would have kept Waltons fans at bay.
Joe’s mustache is a whole-ass mood
I think the Honest Trailers team is missing the point on John Boy. At lot of us growing up in the 70's and 80's weren't fans, yet John Boy was an iconic cultural character that EVERYONE knew. Hell, it was parodied on Carol Burnett, with her playing John Girl. There was hardly a group sleepover in which at the end of the night in the dark somebody didn't quip ''Goodnight John Boy'. I watched the 'It' miniseries when it was first broadcast and my reaction to seeing the leads was, "Hey, there's Jack (from Three's Company), Harry (from Night Court) and John Boy (also Venus from WKRP, much more culturally recognizable than Sister, Sister - but that's another beef). The guys are saying, that John Boy and the Waltons were clear back in the 70's, but that was only 15 years earlier from when 'It' first aired. There is definitely some ageism here. I enjoy Honest Trailers even though I don't necessarily get every pop culture joke that is aimed at Millennials or younger. They shouldn't be paranoid to include pop culture jokes from before the 90's. Me thinks that the Honest Trailers team needs some additional Gen X'ers working with them to whip these young'ins into line.
Spencer saying "My heart breaks for a clown" is so great, LOL!
I love asking a question and then having the crew on the video answer it themselves mere seconds later. Moral of the story: I should watch the video all the way through before asking.
There should have been a reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the clip where Seth Green's character Ritchie is attacked by a 'werewolf' and he played the werewolf Oz on Buffy for three seasons on Buffy (and one episode of Angel).
"Little house on the who gives a fuck" had me weak.
I only know John Boy Walton because there was a joke about him in Animaniacs, which my parents had to explain to me.
Me: I'm looking forward to that evil clown movie this year.
Friend: Which one? 'It' or 'Joker'?
Me: Yes.
Sean Connery as Pennywise is now my favorite Pennywise!
I remember Sea Quest fondly 🙂 I was in love with Jonathan Brandis when I was a kid.
Richard Thomas became a household name as "John Boy" because of "The Waltons". He really didn't do a whole lot of note after that. So, those who remember him always identify with him as "John Boy". I don't think they could remember his real name.
I think the genesis of the scary clown, was John Wayne Gacy. NOW THAT was a real monster clown.
I DIDNT REALIZE HOW MUCH I WANT A SEAN CONNERY IT MOVIE NOW
Can we just get an Honest Trailer about Alf even though i know very little, and just have Dan show up as alf? Please!
15:38
Anyone who says they spotted the Allan on their own is lying.🤥
Omg Dan was killing me today with his Alf riffs 😂😂😂😂
SJU: 1990’s TV can’t be scary.
Twin Peaks: Hold my beer.
I'll be honest (Haha, no actual pun intended) I am 36 years old and I knew the John Boy Walton connection. Had no idea that Walton's fans were still around and rabid. That was shocking.
Please do an Honest Trailer for 1998’s “Dark City” starring Rufus Sewell, Jennifer Connelly, and Kiefer Sutherland. It’s a cult classic and a precursor to “The Matrix”.
Superb film and definitely an underrated one.
I was born in 2000 and have still seen some episodes of The Waltons. They still play it on weeknights in Canada!
Gotta say, I only caught up today, but I sadly admit that I am in that "older-than-y'all" group that immediately thought of Jon-boy on the Waltons. I'd guess my older-than-thou age group is probably a rarely-vocal minority... I hope.
There's more of us than they know.
@@VenusDeMilitant well, maybe not after Covid
I believe the Jack a lopes name was Jack ching bada bing...
I get the feeling you guys forgot how syndication worked in the 80s and early 90s.
Not just weekends on major network TV, but also every night on Nickelodeon, and a ton of other cable shows were filled with reruns of TV shows.
I was born in '79 and grew up with Bewitched, Jeannie, Green Acres, Mr. Ed, Star Trek, All in the Family, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, The Monkees, Gilligan's Island, The Love Boat, Buck Rogers, The Muppet Show...
This happened with almost every show that was even a modest success that had more than 2 or 3 seasons until the Late-Aughts when people started abandoning Broadcast TV and Netflix started signing streaming deals for them all.
I'm also slightly miffed still that you snubbed a 5(?) year-old Chelann Simmons.
I was born in '81 and watched a ton of TV growing up, but never saw a single episode of The Waltons. (Watched a lot of MASH re-runs though).
Honest trailer for Into the Woods?
How did the clue they gave connect to Into The Woods???
@@dylanrichards8414 No, its just a request for a honest trailer 😄
@@annarose932 oh ok, i actually dont one for that because i love that film and id know they'd tear it apart
"Goodnight Johnboy" "Goodnight Johnboy's mole"
Jon's pivot in tone during the reads about ABC's schedule is fantastic.
25:00 Richard Thomas was also in " Battle Beyond the Stars." A classic Roger Corman film.
I feel we need honest trailers for Alf and The Waltons now......
