Rick Moranis is an absolute treasure. Every role he does, he f'n SLAYS it. I miss him. Not dead, he just stopped making movies decades ago when his wife died of cancer so that he could be home to raise his kids.
Rick’s the bomb. It’s a shame he got typecast in “nerd” roles after this movie, because if you watch him on SCTV, you’ll see that he was adept at playing all KINDS of different characters. He did play great nerds, though. And at least not all his nerd characters were the same. Like, Louis was a ridiculous, nebbishy dork who tried way too hard to be cool and failed miserably every time, but Wayne in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids was a devoted father and husband and a kind, gentle guy who happened to be a scientist that just couldn’t catch a break. Those two characters were nerds, but they couldn’t be more different from each other.
For my generation...many of whom grew up on classic horror, Nightmare in Elm St, Friday 13th, Psycho, etc...Ghostbusters was a fun film with ghosts! Comical and creepy! Perfect!
I mean this is a generation where the entertainment industry considered Return to Oz, Labyrinth, Time Bandits, and The Never Ending Story to be movies made for children. You think when we grew up we were going to be scared by Ghostbusters? You should be happy if you got a rise out of us with Poltergeist.
@@88wildcat i had watched the Terminator, Predator and Alien movies before I hit puberty. Those WERE children's movies, and Ghost busters is very much a light hearted comedy
I love how it was the normally stoic and reserved Egon who got angry and said “your mother.” It’s proof that he is normally calm and collected and that it takes a lot to get him angry. Rip Harold Ramis and Ivan Reitman.
Right? I thought it was funny and strange how you found Bill Murry's character so repulsive, where originally he was perceived as funny. Also, Rick Morannis character was just perceived as a creep that you'd watch with a side eye instead of a kind sad pathetic dork. It's interesting how different the perception is from the different generations!
I saw another reaction video and they kind of reacted the same to Venkman. I’m thinking it’s a dated thing somehow. Sleazy, smartass but lovable characters maybe aren’t as much of a thing now? There’s a lot of characters in this era like that.
@@fionnmaccumhaill3257 It's a different world today, and not entirely for the better. Yes, Dr. Peter Venkman was repulsive, but, that was what was funny about him. His character was a caracture of sleazeballs. Most people didn't know people who were actually like that, so it came across as comical. Today, with our interconnected world, while it's great that I can read your comment and reply back, etc., we also see that there are people like that in the real world and so his repulsiveness is a turn-off. Sad really, as they also show Venkman has a well-hidden heart of gold.
Why is Venkman "so casual about everything?" Because it's a 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐲, guys! Murray's characters are often too-cool-for-school, sarcastic, casual guys with crushing one-liners.
Boy how times change... lol When i was a 9 year old in 1984, we all just found this extremely amusing..... and those of us who saw it and lived back then still feel the same way today. I honestly never considered it scary. Also... most people used to laugh like crazy during the electric shock scene because trying to land that blonde chick would have been universally laughed at. Now apparently Venkman is a dirty old man... lol Which was true then too... just not really received that way so much as it was comedic.
Venkman asking the librarian if it's her time of the month always made sense to me. He's investigating a psychic phenomenon. Psychic powers reside in the brain. Hormones affect the brain, so there may be a correlation. Most people think it's just a weird/funny question though..! I'd make other points but others have beaten me to it 😄
LOL I never thought I'd see the day when adults were scared of Ghostbusters. I watched this in the theater when I was nine and loved it. It definitely is a new generation of people. Lord help these two if they ever see alien or the ring or anything truly scary.
Or indeed who have to face anything legitimately daunting in the real world. I really hate sounding like an old man, but first off, I'm not even that old, and second, the way this was viewed honestly leaves me stunned. I'd say it has to be an act due to how bizarre it seems, but unfortunately I've observed the general public recently.
Yeah I really do like this couple a lot. I'm not trying to insult them it just baffled me that they were scared. I really do want to see them watch a scary movie.
When I was growing up "somebody blows their nose and you wanna keep it?" always made me laugh. This movie is so quotable. Tons of great lines. "You're right. No human being would stack books like this" even gets into the meta of making the movie itself.
These guys totally missed the premise of this movie They treated it like it was a horror scary movie as opposed to it being more of a comedy. I guess in this politically correct world we live in today the humor that was used in this movie is not as excepted or understood as it was back in those times when this movie was made. I could see how people raised in this generation as opposed to then would have a hard time understanding the dialogue and jokes that were used in movies back 30/40 years ago. That being said I truly miss those days when things weren’t taken so seriously and people weren’t so offended as they are today at comedy that’s completely innocent.
You edited out Rick Moranis's best line! At the end, after awakening from his demon dog phase to wreckage and marshmallow goo, he says "Boy the superintendent's gonna be pissed!"
You guys finding this scary made me realize how old I am. And i was born 3 years after the release of this movie. Been watching Ghostbusters films all my life, never thought of them being scary.😂
You guys are killing me!! I've seen this movie dozens of times, my kids were of that age. I never thought anyone would take this seriously, it's been more entertaining watching your actions to this spoof comedy.
My older cousin and his girlfriend took to me to this at the theater in the mall because they had to baby sit me while they were on a date, I was four years old, this movie didn't scare me I loved this movie and they even got me a Ghostbuster's T shirt after the movie. My parents were kind of mad at my cousin not because they thought it would scare me but because all I did was babble about the movie non stop annoying them.
I’m the same age and did the same thing,I saw it in the theater the year before and we obsessed. Breakfast Club was another one I watched a lot at the time. I always hated movies that were meant for kids when I was that age,I’m not sure I knew I was a kid🤣
@@michaelblaine6494 🤣🤣 You're probably like him, always understood the dry humor. His other one was The Princess Bride (although a little older by then). Take care!
Born in 79' and I watched this movie almost every day after school when I was 6-9 years old. This was turned into an animated show for children after the movie. It is difficult for me to believe grown adults are the least bit scared of a comedy. Also, I saw Platoon, Robocop, and Predator in the theater when I was 7. They must lead sheltered lives LOL.
Right!!?? I was born in 78, so I totally agree. I grew up on Grimm's fairy tales, so this was hilarious to me lol. I cannot believe 2 adults can be scared by ghostbusters. It's ridiculous and I'm here for it hahaha
Dunno if anything from ghostbusters scared me but I do remember a few things that did. The wolf from never ending story, maybe the rat or owl in secret of nimh, then the bird things in dark crystal. Those were the creepy as a kid that I don't wanna see in a dark corner in the middle of the night. Oh also maybe the troll thing from Cat's Eye, stealing your breath as you sleep. Other gore or horror or monster movies like House were fun to watch. Maybe it's the darkness and fangs or something.
"Y'all didn't tell me this was a scary movie" bless your heart lmao We grew up in the 80s to most of us this wasn't scary it was a comedy! So please know with 80s and 90s movies we had a super diffrent definition of scary, funny, and sad lmao. Love you guys so glad to see you doing movies!!! Could you please do Forrest Gump, Fried Green Tomatos, and Steel Magnolias pretty pretty please!!!
I remember watching Poltergeist, Nightmare on Elm Street, Dolls and many other horror/scary movies when I was 6. After that, I was hooked! I LOVE scary movies and so do my kids. My daughter's favorite is Child's Play. Any time we have a thunderstorm she asks to watch Chucky. She's 6 and she's been watching it for years! Both my kids are horror nuts, just like momma! 🤣
The reality of course is censorship has become much stricter when it comes to move ratings. G rated 80's movies would be PG today ad some PG movies might get 18+ only ratings. In the 80's a could could explicitly be declared dead, by the 90's it could be made clear but not said, bit now? Death is a G rated movie is forbidden!
Having grown up in the 70s/80s with Dan Akyroyd, Bill Murray, Rick Moranis, and Annie Potts it was hard to be scared of a movie with them in it. Also I LOVED the cartoon.
@@paulobrien9572 I didn't have a full appreciation of Sigourney at that age. Knew of Alien but hadn't watched it until later. By then NYC was covered in marshmallow.
A highly recommended scifi film starring the lead actress from this movie is "Alien." But if you were scared by "Ghostbusters" ... "Alien" will definitely scare you. So ... handle with care! As for the lead actor, a great movie with him in it, that isn't scary at all, is "Groundhog Day."
Francis E. Nealy (the hotel maid) saying "What the hell are you doing?" is my favorite line in the entire movie. It became my catch phrase with friends after I saw that movie. 😄
This actually was not scripted. The explosions that actually happened to make the shot seem more real were much stronger than she was told and was actually extremely shocked, making her reaction real. xD
Comedy and horror go well together when done correctly, and "Ghostbusters" is a prime example. If you want to go further back in Hollywood history, may I suggest "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" from the 1940s. Abbott an Costello were a vaudeville duo that successfully transitioned to movies. This movie has the boys meeting up with not only Frankenstein, but also Dracula (played again by Bela Lugosi, who originated the role) and the Wolfman, with Lon Chaney Jr. reprising his most famous role once again. Plenty of laughs and only very mild horror. Your kids would probably like it, too. (I first saw it when I was a child and loved it.) There's absolutely nothing objectionable in this film.
Nope. My daughter is 14 and I think I first showed her Ghostbusters when she was maybe 11 or 12. She loved it ,got it etc. She is terrified of the librarian turning into monster thing part though but so was I when I first saw it when I was 7 or so.
My kids absolutely love Ghostbusters, they're 16 and 20. I think it just depends on the sense of humour you're brought up with and have. I do agree that this generation overanalyse absolutely everything though and don't take humour in the context of the era it comes from. Thank God I've made sure my boys don't do that. Very sensitive and empathetic kids but great senses of humour!
Times like this I notice real differences in generations. My generation watched this as little kids & found it hilarious.... I never thought it was scary. I thought all the ghosts were funny. Rick Moranis & Sigourney.... HILARIOUS!! But.... different strokes for different folks I suppose.
Back then it wasn't "graphics", it was non-computer created special effects, which consisted of all kinds of unique ways to make things appear realistic. Unfortunately, the gargoyle effects were done with stop motion and a few other techniques and they're quite dated... but the rest of the movie holds up fairly well.
Visual FX before CG wasn't NOT "graphics" in the dictionary sense, but nobody called it that. "Computer Graphics Imagery" or "CGI" or just "CG" was the term they came up with to differentiate digital effects from old school optical and practical effects. It's cringe-y to hear even today because even though it's all composited digitally now, there's still all sorts of old-school non-digital post-fx techniques in use like miniatures.
Did you ever see Belushi & Akroyd in "Neighbors" (1981)? It's kind of unknown, but an old favorite of mine. A rare chance to see John playing the uptight, straight-laced role.
This is a family comedy. I remember watching this in school when it came out as an 8 year old. I can’t believe you saw Bill Murray and only know him as a guy from Space Jam. He is a comedy movie legend.
This channel is going to be entertaining considering J has hardly seen any movies. I think you’d have a fun time with another 80s movie The Princess Bride, no scary bits to worry about 😄 It’s checks off all the boxes: adventure, fantasy, romance, comedy.
Normally I'd agree with you about there being no scary bits in TPB, but considering how scary they thought Ghostbusters was, this time may be an exception. I can think of at least several scenes that might be a little too much for them (R.O.U.S.'s are one example).
You definitely have to remember this was the 80s about Bill Murrays behavior in the beginning. We were never offended by that scene in the apt. It was such different time. Plus it was Bill, and we loved his humor 💕🤣
Truer to say we hold men to a higher standard today. I was born in 1974 and love this movie, but Bill Murray always played assholes in the 80's/90's. Watching this now, I hate his character.
My wife and I met the brother Ernie Hudson (the 4th Ghostbuster) at the Big Apple Comic-Con (in NYC) back in 2009. He was such a crazy cool, and down to earth man. Very nice guy! :)
If you think Ghostbusters was too scary/intense, you're going to miss out on so many incredible movies. Especially The Thing, The Shining, Poltergeist, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Alien, Aliens, Predator...
Omg, you guys missed so much subtle humor in this movie. I have watched this movie so many times I can quote it and I’ve also played the role playing game based off this movie and Ghostbusters 2. You simply must rewatch this movie and absorb all the subtle humor it has to offer so you can appreciate Ghostbusters 2 and Ghostbusters Afterlife. I’m addition, read up on the movie chops of the actors and actresses in this movie…..and then watch the movie again. You will not be disappointed once you apply the actor’s histories to the performance in the movie. If you do this, Ghostbusters becomes one of the funniest movies ever made. Trust me on this.
Yes, they cut out the elevator scene with the first switch on of the Protonpacs and didn't notice how Egon subtile said Peter how much the Hotel should pay. Also: If they think THIS was scary, they never should watch Alien.
You guys are so funny. I can't believe how seriously you're taking it. There's absolutely nothing serious about this movie at any time. This is one of the funniest movies ever! It is a spoof comedy through and through.
@@baronsengir187 Yeah, I agree. This wasn’t a spoof movie. It was a comedy, no doubt, but it never turned the ghost lore into a joke. The ghosts were always supposed to be taken seriously.
You two are so sweet. I've never seen anyone freaked out by Ghostbusters!😃😃 I watched this when I was 13 and loved it. Another great reaction. It's really wonderful seeing you react to films from my youth.
Back in the day when this was released, it was considered a comedy. I saw it in the theater when it came out and everyone laughed through the whole thing. We did not have a scare reaction to it. Was more story telling than scary. Things have certainly changed from back then.
This is a good point. I think if they'd seen it in a theater surrounded by 100 other people, they wouldn't have felt scared at all. They would have just laughed with everyone else. They were home alone, though, and took it more seriously than they otherwise would have probably.
In their defense it has been so long since Hollywood has put out a good comedy if they only watch movies from the last twenty years they may not know what one is.
I'm shocked you haven't jumped on Saturday Night Fever to get your Bee Gees groove on. I CAN'T WAIT MUCH LONGER!!! BTW I am loving all the reactions. Keep going and growing!!!
@@robsquadmoviereactions you'll enjoy it, but there are about two-three scenes you WON'T want the girls to see. But I know you'll like it. The BeeGees soundtrack is enough to make Jordan, especially, very happy!
It will definitely have to be a heavily muted reaction for RUclips copyright but just to see your enjoyment of the music... A definite cover your eyes moment is during Yvonne Eliman's song If I Can't Have You.
Another amazing one featuring Bill Murray is "What About Bob" with Richard Dreyfus, you'll laugh til you cry, guaranteed!! And also one of the most iconic movies from the 80's: "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" with Matthew Broderick.
I've been watching Ghostbusters since I was a kid in the eighties I never thought about it being scary until I watched you guys reacting to it ,this is so hilarious
I wouldn't like to accuse y'all of pandering to us Gen-X'ers, but it does my heart glad to see young people enjoying these pre-CGI classics! Turns out you don't need to spend $100 million on animators to make a good movie. :) Love from Louisville, Kentucky.
Since you didn't recognize Bill Murray at first, I will assume you guys haven't seen "Groundhog Day"? You need to put that on your list too!! I think you both would love it. Fantastic comedy! 🥰 Also! Dan Ackroyd (who plays Ray) is who you can thank for this movie's existence. He co-wrote the script with Harold Ramis (who plays Egon) but, it was really Dan Ackroyd's passion project from the very beginning. Another movie Dan Ackroyd co-wrote and starred in is "The Blues Brothers", which you guys desperately need to see 'cause you would geek out so much from all the music artists that cameo/perform in it!
@@arthurcurry2003 well let's start with the proper sentence, it would be "those" instead of them" and secondly, they both were iconic actors. In everything they played in. Those two paved the way for many comedians.
This was probably the most odd reaction to one of my all time favorite movies. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cringe. However, given that you now probably understand what lens you should be watching these movies through because of the comments section, I’d be curious to see what you think of Ghostbusters 2.
This was the film that mastered horror/comedy and ushered in a new era of filmmaking. Also, much of the paranormal lore is based on real life findings of the secret societies Aykroyd's grandfather was part of.
A great reaction. The best jump award goes to Jay,for when the arm came up through the arm rest. Not only did it make Jay nearly jump out of his seat. But he then lightly grabbed, Ambers arm & made her jump as well. Had me in stitches. Hope everyone is keeping well & much love from here in the UK
@@Volunteerfan8082 I disagree. The film is meant to make you jump, as well as make us laugh. I'd personally give more credit to the film. Being able to bring someone in to the story so well to get those laughs & jumps speaks of how good the story is
You guys are adorable lightweights! 😆 Ghostbusters is a horror spoof, and a great comedy classic. Bill Murray almost always plays goofy characters. Watching your reactions was priceless. You should probably stay away from real horror movies though. Don't let anybody talk you into watching Alien. Way too scary for you guys! 👽
So much subtle comedy as well like when Bill Murray after being unprofessional the whole movie tells the other guys when they’re entering the building “above all stay professional” lol
Two things: 1. The dream sequence of Ray and the female ghost was actually a cut segment where he and Winston are hunting a ghost in a Revolutionary War-era fort. Ray tries on the general's coat and then lays down in bed because he's exhausted, then the ghost of the general's lover shows up and... well, you see how that goes. 2. Walter Peck is one of the great triumvirate of 80's douchebags along with Ellis from Die Hard and Burke from Aliens.
It's not so much an 80's film, as a Reagan-era film. That "douchebag" worked for the EPA. In the 70's, they were the organization to protect us from water and air contamination. But Reagan demonized the EPA in the 80's right-wing shift. Here, they are portrayed as the villain. Normally, you should be on the side of the EPA trying to stop un-regulated nuclear power plants from popping up in the downtown of your city!
Well, I recommend “Stripes,” “Caddyshack,” and “Big Trouble In Little China.” After these there is the entire Spielberg catalog. Then we can get to the grownup stuff. Love you guys!
What a movie, the actors who played Ray (Dan Aykroyd) and Egon (Harold Ramis) wrote the movie. The symbolism of the Key Master ( Male ) & the Gate Keeper ( Female ) took me a few years to get but now you know you won't forget it.... A great cartoon series followed this movie which released so many amazing toys which are now collectable. I would recommend; The Blues Brothers, Gremlins, Big - Starring Tom Hanks
I saw this movie in the theater when I was still 7 years old. Some of the scenes were a little scary, but I loved it. I went into the movie thinking of it as a comedy, so that tempered a lot of the scary stuff, and the sexual aspects of it mostly went over my head at the time.
The scene where the demon dog attacks Rick Moranis character and the people in the restaurant go back to eating like nothing happened is so New York.....lol
The receptionist is the grandmother on Young Sheldon. The EPA guy is the villainous TV reporter in Die Hard and Die Hard 2. Dana is the hero of Alien and Aliens, which you need to see, as well as a *lot* of Bill Murray movies (like Stripes, Zombieland, What About Bob? and Groundhog Day).
You guys make me feel very old!!!, I went to my local Odeon cinema in Nottingham,UK in 1984 to watch this when I was 15 years old,the cinema was packed as it was THE blockbuster everyone wanted to see,great times!!
@@Xcris_crosX Every movie reactor is different - and they have both clearly laid out what their limitations are. And they are so sweet and kindhearted - I would never recommend anything that I KNOW would severely traumatize and terrify them.
Nothing wrong with getting scared by some of these scenes. I remember finding some of it scary as a kid, mainly the Dana's chair scene and red-eyed, short-haired Gozer with the gravelly voice that reminded me of my Aunt Bev, but I grew up with an older brother who took delight in scaring me, so it takes more to get me nowadays. Scary or not, it's a fun movie. Good call on noticing the Stay Puft Marshmallow man looked like the Pillsbury Doughboy and then mentioning the Michelin Man. The character was actually modeled as a combo of the Pillbsury Doughboy, the Michelin Tires mascot and Bob's Big Boy. Just a tidbit for the future - Graphics is a term more often associated with video games. Movies and tv shows have special effects. You've got CGI, which is anything done by computer, which wasn't a thing in the 80s or really even most of the 90s. You've got practical effects, which is what's in the movie. Everything designed and operated by hand or remote control. This movie had that but also stop-motion animation with the demon dogs when they were running, like when one was chasing Lewis. Special effects is just that. Special.
@Ontario&theLetterZedFor sure. Also, I'm surprised at how long it took me to notice the bag of Stay Puft marshmallows on Dana's counter in the egg frying/refrigerator scene.
My second favorite movie of all time. You CANNOT be offended. It was the 70’s, man. We didn’t know. Hahaha. This bunch of guys was comedy personified for our generation. They were everywhere. We loved these guys.
Humor and comedy today is lifeless and this reaction proves it. Everything is taken at face value these days. Satire takes some thought and when when done right, like right here, is masterful. Too worried about being offended and sucking the enjoyment out of things, couldn't even finish this
I’ve seen other reactors react to this, Airplane and Police Academy and none of them took them seriously but in Jay and Amber’s defense they did admit growing up they didn’t watch tv or movies because they were only into sports
Agreed! As puzzling as I find some reactions to it, I remember seeing this as a kid with my cousin (same age as me) who didn't "get it" ~ 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹. In fact, I remember the 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 thing she laughed at was: "I feel so 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗸𝘆." ♡︎
This was my FAVORITE movie when I was a child. I was like...7 years old when this came out. Kids were just different back then, lol. And I can still recite nearly all the lines word for word. This was probably a gateway to more serious scary movies, but it was as far as I went. There was even a Saturday morning cartoon series based on it and I was obsessed with that as well.
It was your favourite movie when you were 7 but J&A almost didn’t make it thru it. Just goes to show that the generations since our time are getting softer and softer!! 🙄😂😂😂
@@allenosborne1201 know what one of my favorite movies was when I was 10? DIE HARD 😆 It was the time of parents letting kids grab any movie at the video rental store.
My kids were 5 and 7 when this came out on VHS and even THEY weren't scared! They got the comedy. They must have watched it dozens of times. And yes, we bought them the proton pack and trap and they played for hours!
I Loved it as a kid and again as a father with children. They really loved it. I laughed a lot with your reaction. Why is so many people on the street??? Because it was the 80's!! No Netflix, no computers, no cellphones, no playstations, just doing your life and mostly on the street, seeing what's happening! It was absolutely natural. Regards from Chile!!
Plus on the why are so many people on the street, one it is New York in the 80s there is always lots of people on the street and two if you lived in that apartment complex would you be inside the building?
I saw this in the theater when I was six. Then I demanded t-shirts and toys and to see it at least 5 more times. I’ve never seen anyone actually bothered by this movie. It’s hilarious! My son has loved it since he was about 7!

Rick Moranis is an absolute treasure. Every role he does, he f'n SLAYS it. I miss him. Not dead, he just stopped making movies decades ago when his wife died of cancer so that he could be home to raise his kids.
Wish he would come back, even if it's just a minor appearance.

Those two characters were nerds, but they couldn’t be more different from each other.
@@crescentfreshbretHe’s making a sequel to Honey I Shrunk the Kids
He always locks himselfs out of his own apartment and becomes the keymaster. The writing is so on point.
same with the female character being the gate keeper. she has (3) differernt men chasing her in this fiim and she's guarding that "gate" too.
"Ok, now I'm getting scared of the marshmallow because his eyebrows are down." "He's a mean marshmallow." LOL. You guys are hilarious!

loved that scene
You know it's bad when Egon losses it!!!
Harold absolutely nailed the role of Egon. No one could’ve done it better.
The unusual level of anger towards Bill Murray's character during this reaction was almost funnier than the movie itself.
Right? I thought it was funny and strange how you found Bill Murry's character so repulsive, where originally he was perceived as funny. Also, Rick Morannis character was just perceived as a creep that you'd watch with a side eye instead of a kind sad pathetic dork. It's interesting how different the perception is from the different generations!
It kinda made me mad. Bill Murray is an international icon that needs protected at all costs lol.
I saw another reaction video and they kind of reacted the same to Venkman. I’m thinking it’s a dated thing somehow. Sleazy, smartass but lovable characters maybe aren’t as much of a thing now? There’s a lot of characters in this era like that.
@@joeconcepts5552 yeah because no one likes Iron Man…

Why is Venkman "so casual about everything?" Because it's a 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐲, guys! Murray's characters are often too-cool-for-school, sarcastic, casual guys with crushing one-liners.
Right, that’s the joke. He’s absurdly casual and unfazed by everything.
Exactly!
Because he's Bill Murray.
He is casual about everything except gophers and groundhogs!
@@joeconcepts5552 Imagine if he faced off with Joel Hodgson.
Bill Murray pretty much improvised many if not all of his dialogue.
You guys took this far more seriously than I ever did. I laugh through the whole thing. Also have it almost memorized.
exactly, it was a comedy. It had a few "jump scare" moments, but all in all it was hilarious
I don't think young people are used to comedy movies having real storytelling. The genre has degraded so far.
I found the movie even funnier with their reaction. LOL
I definitely have memorized this movie 🥰 its is my favorite of all time
The actual horror parts were really well done, though.
Boy how times change... lol When i was a 9 year old in 1984, we all just found this extremely amusing..... and those of us who saw it and lived back then still feel the same way today.

Venkman asking the librarian if it's her time of the month always made sense to me. He's investigating a psychic phenomenon. Psychic powers reside in the brain. Hormones affect the brain, so there may be a correlation. Most people think it's just a weird/funny question though..!
I'd make other points but others have beaten me to it 😄

Or indeed who have to face anything legitimately daunting in the real world. I really hate sounding like an old man, but first off, I'm not even that old, and second, the way this was viewed honestly leaves me stunned. I'd say it has to be an act due to how bizarre it seems, but unfortunately I've observed the general public recently.
Yeah I really do like this couple a lot. I'm not trying to insult them it just baffled me that they were scared. I really do want to see them watch a scary movie.
It's not a generational thing. Many kids these days say that Jaws isn't scary.
My favorite line from this movie: "I've worked in the private sector. It's scary. They actually expect results."
LMAO! They don't write like that anymore. Didn't Dan Akroyd write "Ghostbusters?"
That's funny, but my favorite line is "OK, she's a dog". That's funny on a few different levels!
When I was growing up "somebody blows their nose and you wanna keep it?" always made me laugh. This movie is so quotable. Tons of great lines. "You're right. No human being would stack books like this" even gets into the meta of making the movie itself.
Oh! "I feel like the floor of a taxicab" is another favorite.
@@bethmiller1840 Yeah, he and Harold Ramis who played Egon Spengler. The guy with the glasses.
I''m 10 minutes in, and I have to say: this is a comedy, and y'all are watching it like a documentary. LOL
Right! Just go with it! It's all 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐨𝐨𝐝! ♡
Agreed. They need to remember it’s a comedy. The jokes are supposed to be offensive and funny.
I feel they didnt know Bill Murray before this. However thats possible lol.
They just didn't get it. Broke my little Ghostbuster loving heart.
These guys totally missed the premise of this movie They treated it like it was a horror scary movie as opposed to it being more of a comedy. I guess in this politically correct world we live in today the humor that was used in this movie is not as excepted or understood as it was back in those times when this movie was made. I could see how people raised in this generation as opposed to then would have a hard time understanding the dialogue and jokes that were used in movies back 30/40 years ago. That being said I truly miss those days when things weren’t taken so seriously and people weren’t so offended as they are today at comedy that’s completely innocent.
You edited out Rick Moranis's best line! At the end, after awakening from his demon dog phase to wreckage and marshmallow goo, he says "Boy the superintendent's gonna be pissed!"
You guys finding this scary made me realize how old I am. And i was born 3 years after the release of this movie. Been watching Ghostbusters films all my life, never thought of them being scary.😂
You feel old! I was 14 when this came out!
@@stefanhuddleston6816 But you weren't scared of watching Ghostbusters either, right?😂
@@King-Vis Nope, pure comedy for me
I been watching ghostbusters ever cent I was young and never through it was scary I loved the movie always have and always will
You guys are killing me!! I've seen this movie dozens of times, my kids were of that age. I never thought anyone would take this seriously, it's been more entertaining watching your actions to this spoof comedy.
Same. I HATE horror, but I never thought of this movie as scary, even as a kid
this was listed as a horror film when it came out
Omg, totally dying watching this too. LMAO - this was wonderful. I love this couple and I think we are going to corrupt them.
@@georginawest3927
We're not going to corrupt them. It's called "broadening their horizons".
heh-heh
Spoof?
I couldn’t imagine who Ghostbusters would be too intense for. You really don’t want to watch Poltergeist then.
LOL there are a whole bunch of great movies that are going to be too intense.
They'd never survive The Thing.
The conjuring or the exorcist would have them in therapy for the next 5 years but I really want to see it. 😈
or Herbie Rides Again.
@@handsolo1209 😭
My youngest son, who is now 42, watched this movie every day when he came home from kindergarten (VCR days) 🤣🤣🤣
My older cousin and his girlfriend took to me to this at the theater in the mall because they had to baby sit me while they were on a date, I was four years old, this movie didn't scare me I loved this movie and they even got me a Ghostbuster's T shirt after the movie. My parents were kind of mad at my cousin not because they thought it would scare me but because all I did was babble about the movie non stop annoying them.
I’m the same age and did the same thing,I saw it in the theater the year before and we obsessed. Breakfast Club was another one I watched a lot at the time. I always hated movies that were meant for kids when I was that age,I’m not sure I knew I was a kid🤣
@@michaelblaine6494 🤣🤣 You're probably like him, always understood the dry humor. His other one was The Princess Bride (although a little older by then). Take care!
Me too until the end, when the marshmallow man came out I watched from the top of the basement steps. This and Nintendo were life back in the 80s lol.
This is my history. Once my parents rented it for a weekend, in the 80's, and I watched it like 7 times in two days.
Just so you know, those dog things were animatronics and stop-motion. No CGI.
Born in 79' and I watched this movie almost every day after school when I was 6-9 years old. This was turned into an animated show for children after the movie. It is difficult for me to believe grown adults are the least bit scared of a comedy. Also, I saw Platoon, Robocop, and Predator in the theater when I was 7. They must lead sheltered lives LOL.
Right!!?? I was born in 78, so I totally agree. I grew up on Grimm's fairy tales, so this was hilarious to me lol. I cannot believe 2 adults can be scared by ghostbusters. It's ridiculous and I'm here for it hahaha
Robocop scared me as a kids, born in ‘81. I wasn’t allowed to watch R rated movies. Mom rented it for me. Oops.
Dunno if anything from ghostbusters scared me but I do remember a few things that did. The wolf from never ending story, maybe the rat or owl in secret of nimh, then the bird things in dark crystal. Those were the creepy as a kid that I don't wanna see in a dark corner in the middle of the night. Oh also maybe the troll thing from Cat's Eye, stealing your breath as you sleep. Other gore or horror or monster movies like House were fun to watch. Maybe it's the darkness and fangs or something.
Proof Gen X was built different (73).
my daughter just turned 11 and she absolutely loves the ghostbusters. we are all waiting for the new one in 2 months
"Y'all didn't tell me this was a scary movie" bless your heart lmao We grew up in the 80s to most of us this wasn't scary it was a comedy! So please know with 80s and 90s movies we had a super diffrent definition of scary, funny, and sad lmao. Love you guys so glad to see you doing movies!!! Could you please do Forrest Gump, Fried Green Tomatos, and Steel Magnolias pretty pretty please!!!
yes
well some of the stuff from 80's Kids Moves is considered Nightmare Fuel now I think our standards of "scary movie" require a lot more punch!
I remember watching Poltergeist, Nightmare on Elm Street, Dolls and many other horror/scary movies when I was 6. After that, I was hooked! I LOVE scary movies and so do my kids. My daughter's favorite is Child's Play. Any time we have a thunderstorm she asks to watch Chucky. She's 6 and she's been watching it for years! Both my kids are horror nuts, just like momma! 🤣
The reality of course is censorship has become much stricter when it comes to move ratings. G rated 80's movies would be PG today ad some PG movies might get 18+ only ratings. In the 80's a could could explicitly be declared dead, by the 90's it could be made clear but not said, bit now? Death is a G rated movie is forbidden!
So much yes!
Having grown up in the 70s/80s with Dan Akyroyd, Bill Murray, Rick Moranis, and Annie Potts it was hard to be scared of a movie with them in it. Also I LOVED the cartoon.
Loved the 'Real Ghostbusters'.
NOT the stupid one with the ape.
I agree although the presence of Sigourney Weaver does throw a wrench in your theory
@@paulobrien9572 I didn't have a full appreciation of Sigourney at that age. Knew of Alien but hadn't watched it until later. By then NYC was covered in marshmallow.
The character Bill Murray was playing, was Bill Murray. He's that character in everything he has played in.
It is him, not the character, Pinballman1
A highly recommended scifi film starring the lead actress from this movie is "Alien." But if you were scared by "Ghostbusters" ... "Alien" will definitely scare you. So ... handle with care!
As for the lead actor, a great movie with him in it, that isn't scary at all, is "Groundhog Day."
I love Alien and Alien 2. Definitely not a movie for either of them, but especially Amber. Nope!
Two brilliant recommendations.
She was also in Galaxy Quest and Paul, probably the two greatest SciFi spoof movies of all time!
HEREDITARY
They absolutely should never watch Alien if this movie upset them. Nope, nope, nope.
Francis E. Nealy (the hotel maid) saying "What the hell are you doing?" is my favorite line in the entire movie. It became my catch phrase with friends after I saw that movie. 😄
Followed by the 'sorry, we thought you were someone else' is hilarious 😂
This actually was not scripted. The explosions that actually happened to make the shot seem more real were much stronger than she was told and was actually extremely shocked, making her reaction real. xD
@@chromium_ink That's kind of awesome!
And in the background you can see her trying to put the fires out with a spritz bottle
I still cannot get over the fact there are adults old enough to have children who don't know who Bill Murray is. 😀
You two are way too precious to be reacting to movies if Ghostbusters has you scared.
Comedy and horror go well together when done correctly, and "Ghostbusters" is a prime example. If you want to go further back in Hollywood history, may I suggest "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" from the 1940s. Abbott an Costello were a vaudeville duo that successfully transitioned to movies. This movie has the boys meeting up with not only Frankenstein, but also Dracula (played again by Bela Lugosi, who originated the role) and the Wolfman, with Lon Chaney Jr. reprising his most famous role once again. Plenty of laughs and only very mild horror. Your kids would probably like it, too. (I first saw it when I was a child and loved it.) There's absolutely nothing objectionable in this film.
👍👍Yes!!!
Hay Abbot!!! 😊😂
Abbot & Costello are absolute legends. 💯
one of my favorites!
I agree, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is excellent.
Great recommendation
I've never seen anyone react so joylessly to Ghostbusters. Guessing comedy shifts across the generations has caught up to me😭
You nailed it...
Nope. My daughter is 14 and I think I first showed her Ghostbusters when she was maybe 11 or 12. She loved it ,got it etc. She is terrified of the librarian turning into monster thing part though but so was I when I first saw it when I was 7 or so.
My kids absolutely love Ghostbusters, they're 16 and 20. I think it just depends on the sense of humour you're brought up with and have.
I do agree that this generation overanalyse absolutely everything though and don't take humour in the context of the era it comes from.
Thank God I've made sure my boys don't do that. Very sensitive and empathetic kids but great senses of humour!
It's because she's constantly talking over the lines. They miss so many jokes because of that.
Times like this I notice real differences in generations. My generation watched this as little kids & found it hilarious.... I never thought it was scary. I thought all the ghosts were funny. Rick Moranis & Sigourney.... HILARIOUS!! But.... different strokes for different folks I suppose.
Dropping off or picking up?
My favorite line. Annie Potts is awesome.
Back then it wasn't "graphics", it was non-computer created special effects, which consisted of all kinds of unique ways to make things appear realistic. Unfortunately, the gargoyle effects were done with stop motion and a few other techniques and they're quite dated... but the rest of the movie holds up fairly well.
These days, it seems that pretty much any post-production visual effect gets lumped into the term “graphics”.
Visual FX before CG wasn't NOT "graphics" in the dictionary sense, but nobody called it that. "Computer Graphics Imagery" or "CGI" or just "CG" was the term they came up with to differentiate digital effects from old school optical and practical effects. It's cringe-y to hear even today because even though it's all composited digitally now, there's still all sorts of old-school non-digital post-fx techniques in use like miniatures.
Time consuming stuff
I'm 42 years old and have never felt 42 till now 😆 Geeez man
@@chrisleebowers computer Generated Image is what it stands for.
If you want a change of pace, something that is just plain fun, watch "The Blues Brothers" So much great music and cameos.
Did you ever see Belushi & Akroyd in "Neighbors" (1981)? It's kind of unknown, but an old favorite of mine. A rare chance to see John playing the uptight, straight-laced role.
With their appreciation of music, The Blues Brothers is a must!
Especially the police car chase 🐈🐈🐈🐈
❤️ BLUES BROTHERS!!! 👍😃❣️
But it's tough to react to as the songs are copyrighted
This is a family comedy. I remember watching this in school when it came out as an 8 year old.
I can’t believe you saw Bill Murray and only know him as a guy from Space Jam. He is a comedy movie legend.
"Ssshhhh...you smell something?" Why does that crack me up every single time?🤣
Your family would love "Honey I shrunk the kids" If you haven't seen it yet. The first one made was 🤣.
This channel is going to be entertaining considering J has hardly seen any movies. I think you’d have a fun time with another 80s movie The Princess Bride, no scary bits to worry about 😄 It’s checks off all the boxes: adventure, fantasy, romance, comedy.
Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...
Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try to stay awake.
Is this a kissing book?
Normally I'd agree with you about there being no scary bits in TPB, but considering how scary they thought Ghostbusters was, this time may be an exception. I can think of at least several scenes that might be a little too much for them (R.O.U.S.'s are one example).
agree, they would like that one. It's actually a little hard to fit in a category but a very entertaining movie.
"How is he so casual and playful...?" Because he's Bill Murray.
You definitely have to remember this was the 80s about Bill Murrays behavior in the beginning. We were never offended by that scene in the apt. It was such different time. Plus it was Bill, and we loved his humor 💕🤣
Truer to say we hold men to a higher standard today. I was born in 1974 and love this movie, but Bill Murray always played assholes in the 80's/90's. Watching this now, I hate his character.
I don't think I've ever seen anybody misdiagnose a Bill Murray role quite this bad lol
My wife and I met the brother Ernie Hudson (the 4th Ghostbuster) at the Big Apple Comic-Con (in NYC) back in 2009. He was such a crazy cool, and down to earth man. Very nice guy! :)
If you think Ghostbusters was too scary/intense, you're going to miss out on so many incredible movies. Especially The Thing, The Shining, Poltergeist, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Alien, Aliens, Predator...
They could never handle The Shining 🤣
If this scares them... Gremlins would be too much.
The Exorcist! 😂
@@user-or1ye3iz6d no they never could. Stephen King is my favorite author and I love all the movies, even though some of them are ridiculously awful.
Fallen is suspenseful and a thriller, but calm
Omg, you guys missed so much subtle
humor in this movie. I have watched this movie so many times I can quote it and I’ve also played the role playing game based off this movie and Ghostbusters 2. You simply must rewatch this movie and absorb all the subtle humor it has to offer so you can appreciate Ghostbusters 2 and Ghostbusters Afterlife.
I’m addition, read up on the movie chops of the actors and actresses in this movie…..and then watch the movie again. You will not be disappointed once you apply the actor’s histories to the performance in the movie. If you do this, Ghostbusters becomes one of the funniest movies ever made. Trust me on this.
𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 points! Like ... freakin' DAVID MARGUILES as the mayor! Amazing actor ~ of both stage & screen! ♡︎
Yes, they cut out the elevator scene with the first switch on of the Protonpacs and didn't notice how Egon subtile said Peter how much the Hotel should pay. Also: If they think THIS was scary, they never should watch Alien.
Classic Rick Moranis movies include Spaceballs and Little Shop of Horrors(great musical)
"Honey I Shrunk The Kids" is a fun one!!
Little shop of horrors ❤️
Strange Brew.
“Listen! You smell something?” - Dr. Raymond Stantz
“See, I thought Ghostbusters was supposed to be funny.”
-Where do these stairs go ?
..They go up.
You guys are so funny. I can't believe how seriously you're taking it. There's absolutely nothing serious about this movie at any time. This is one of the funniest movies ever! It is a spoof comedy through and through.
Scary Movie, Naked Gun, Spaceballs are Spoof Movies. This is a highly original, creative, classic horror comedy with brilliant writing.
@@baronsengir187 Yeah, I agree. This wasn’t a spoof movie. It was a comedy, no doubt, but it never turned the ghost lore into a joke. The ghosts were always supposed to be taken seriously.
@@danieljohnson2005 Aside from Slimer, of course.
You two are so sweet. I've never seen anyone freaked out by Ghostbusters!😃😃 I watched this when I was 13 and loved it.
Another great reaction. It's really wonderful seeing you react to films from my youth.
One of the greatest movies ever made. Still holds up today, almost 40 years later.
I love how Rick as the keymaster kept getting locked out of his own apartment :)
" Listen..do you smell something "?... that line always goes over everyone's head
Back in the day when this was released, it was considered a comedy. I saw it in the theater when it came out and everyone laughed through the whole thing. We did not have a scare reaction to it. Was more story telling than scary. Things have certainly changed from back then.
This is a good point. I think if they'd seen it in a theater surrounded by 100 other people, they wouldn't have felt scared at all. They would have just laughed with everyone else. They were home alone, though, and took it more seriously than they otherwise would have probably.
In their defense it has been so long since Hollywood has put out a good comedy if they only watch movies from the last twenty years they may not know what one is.
I'm shocked you haven't jumped on Saturday Night Fever to get your Bee Gees groove on. I CAN'T WAIT MUCH LONGER!!! BTW I am loving all the reactions. Keep going and growing!!!
That is so HIGHLY suggested. We will have to get to it soon
@@robsquadmoviereactions you'll enjoy it, but there are about two-three scenes you WON'T want the girls to see. But I know you'll like it. The BeeGees soundtrack is enough to make Jordan, especially, very happy!
I agree, Robsquad reacts to music videos and Saturday Night Fever has the best soundtrack.....great matchup
Some suggested language in this movie that may offend. Just a warning ✌
It will definitely have to be a heavily muted reaction for RUclips copyright but just to see your enjoyment of the music... A definite cover your eyes moment is during Yvonne Eliman's song If I Can't Have You.
Another amazing one featuring Bill Murray is "What About Bob" with Richard Dreyfus, you'll laugh til you cry, guaranteed!!
And also one of the most iconic movies from the 80's: "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" with Matthew Broderick.
Would LOVE to see them react to Ferris Bueller's Day Off! Great suggestion.
Ooooh yeah
Ooooooh yeeaaah
💯 FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF is a must!!! 👍😃❣️
What About Bob was brilliant
I've been watching Ghostbusters since I was a kid in the eighties I never thought about it being scary until I watched you guys reacting to it ,this is so hilarious
This movie is so damn hilarious. I didn't even know it was possible to find it scary. Lol
These kids not knowing who Bill Murray is adorable.
I wouldn't like to accuse y'all of pandering to us Gen-X'ers, but it does my heart glad to see young people enjoying these pre-CGI classics! Turns out you don't need to spend $100 million on animators to make a good movie. :) Love from Louisville, Kentucky.
I think the great legacy of stop-motion animation effects deserves a lot more respect than it gets these days.
They still used miniatures and stop action, clay-mation shots.
@@bigjay123 Ghostbusters: Afterlife does
Since you didn't recognize Bill Murray at first, I will assume you guys haven't seen "Groundhog Day"? You need to put that on your list too!! I think you both would love it. Fantastic comedy! 🥰
Also! Dan Ackroyd (who plays Ray) is who you can thank for this movie's existence. He co-wrote the script with Harold Ramis (who plays Egon) but, it was really Dan Ackroyd's passion project from the very beginning. Another movie Dan Ackroyd co-wrote and starred in is "The Blues Brothers", which you guys desperately need to see 'cause you would geek out so much from all the music artists that cameo/perform in it!
well i would say they need to watch every single movie with bill murray and dan akroyd ..... twice
they must not have seen little shop of horrors either or honey i shrunk the kids or alien i forgot how many good actors was in this movie.
2 of them played in" Stripes" boy what an Era to grow up in. That and caddy Shack what good times
Them two lack the mentality or sense of humor for Bill Murray movies.
@@arthurcurry2003 well let's start with the proper sentence, it would be "those" instead of them" and secondly, they both were iconic actors. In everything they played in. Those two paved the way for many comedians.
I don’t understand what is so scary about Ghostbusters? I can’t wrap my head around it! Lol😂
OMG you guys are cracking me up. Never in my life did I think that Ghostbusters was scary. Even when I was little. LOL. Bless your hearts
I appreciate you guys doing this rea of movies so far. Please do Back to the Future and War Games. Must watches from this era.
Oh back to the future is a must and especially back to the future 2 😁
YES! War Games!
Back To The Future trilogy for sure.
yes WAR GAMES ...and Ferris Bueller's Day off
Excellent suggestions
This was probably the most odd reaction to one of my all time favorite movies. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cringe.
However, given that you now probably understand what lens you should be watching these movies through because of the comments section, I’d be curious to see what you think of Ghostbusters 2.
I cringed
This was almost physically painful to watch. They looked so confused at every joke and took everything literally.
@@Ivy94F I’ve never seen a reaction like this before for this movie… I’m still genuinely dumbfounded by their response.
@@alexanderzadoroznyj They're low IQ public school teachers
@@alexanderzadoroznyj true, this is like a kids movie, we watched this many times as kids in the ,80’s and every year at halloween since.
That's Sigourney Weaver who stars in the movie series "Alien", "Aliens", "Alien3" and "Alien: Resurrection". A must see series.
Must see!
Yes great one 😊
If they're freaking out this badly over this movie, there's no way they'll be able to handle to Alien movies.
She free huh hubbub
....and other great movies, not just Alien series. Haha
It's a action-comedy. A lot of people remember the comedic portions of Ghostbusters, but tend to forgot the action!
This was the film that mastered horror/comedy and ushered in a new era of filmmaking. Also, much of the paranormal lore is based on real life findings of the secret societies Aykroyd's grandfather was part of.
A great reaction. The best jump award goes to Jay,for when the arm came up through the arm rest. Not only did it make Jay nearly jump out of his seat. But he then lightly grabbed, Ambers arm & made her jump as well. Had me in stitches.
Hope everyone is keeping well & much love from here in the UK
hes not much of a real man, hell he gets scared more than his wife, what a wuss
@@Volunteerfan8082 I disagree. The film is meant to make you jump, as well as make us laugh. I'd personally give more credit to the film. Being able to bring someone in to the story so well to get those laughs & jumps speaks of how good the story is
You guys are adorable lightweights! 😆 Ghostbusters is a horror spoof, and a great comedy classic. Bill Murray almost always plays goofy characters. Watching your reactions was priceless. You should probably stay away from real horror movies though. Don't let anybody talk you into watching Alien. Way too scary for you guys! 👽
Maybe Poltergeist should be next, lol.
They need to watch the Exorcist next. They'll for sure be traumatized.
@@james7275able I saw that when it came out - I'm still traumatized! 😆
@@garysmith3037 Yeah...No...they couldn't handle it. If Ghostbuster freaked them out, there's no way they could do Poltergeist.
@@TheCrazyNette
I hear there's this nice clown movie called "It".
*evil laugh*
If you love Dolly Parton's music y'all should watch Steel Magnolias. It has a great cast in it including the queen herself Dolly Parton.
💯
9 to 5 would be a fun Dolly movie
Steel Magnolias is a must!
❤️ STEEL MAGNOLIAS!!! 👍😃❣️
Or "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas".. back when Burt Reynolds looked fine. Loved Dolly singing "Hard Candy Christmas."
So much subtle comedy as well like when Bill Murray after being unprofessional the whole movie tells the other guys when they’re entering the building “above all stay professional” lol
I called that number back then when I was a kid, and the NYC telephone company answered. LOL.
Two things:
1. The dream sequence of Ray and the female ghost was actually a cut segment where he and Winston are hunting a ghost in a Revolutionary War-era fort. Ray tries on the general's coat and then lays down in bed because he's exhausted, then the ghost of the general's lover shows up and... well, you see how that goes.
2. Walter Peck is one of the great triumvirate of 80's douchebags along with Ellis from Die Hard and Burke from Aliens.
In addition, the dream ghost is Dan Akroyd's wife, Donna Dixon. If you want another fun movie they're both in, check out Spies Like Us.
The actor playing Peck was _in_ Die Hard; he was the nosy reporter.
Fun Fact: between those two roles, he still gets crap today.
LOL! I love that we can make a category called “80’s Douchebags” 😂
You forgot Biff from the Back to the Future movies :) Also a great douchebag^^
It's not so much an 80's film, as a Reagan-era film. That "douchebag" worked for the EPA. In the 70's, they were the organization to protect us from water and air contamination. But Reagan demonized the EPA in the 80's right-wing shift. Here, they are portrayed as the villain. Normally, you should be on the side of the EPA trying to stop un-regulated nuclear power plants from popping up in the downtown of your city!
One of my all time favs. I absolutely love Bill Murray!
Scrooged 👍👏👏👏👏
@@catherinebent7307 Excellent movie. Christmas classic!!!
They would love What about Bob?
@@CPny65 100%
Well, I recommend “Stripes,” “Caddyshack,” and “Big Trouble In Little China.” After these there is the entire Spielberg catalog. Then we can get to the grownup stuff. Love you guys!
The funniest line is you saying it’s a scary movie! This is one of the greatest comedies of all time! You all crack me up!
This movie is just the beginning of a great story with all the follow up movies. The latest Ghostbuster movies are just as great.
What a movie, the actors who played Ray (Dan Aykroyd) and Egon (Harold Ramis) wrote the movie.
The symbolism of the Key Master ( Male ) & the Gate Keeper ( Female ) took me a few years to get but now you know you won't forget it.... A great cartoon series followed this movie which released so many amazing toys which are now collectable.
I would recommend;
The Blues Brothers,
Gremlins,
Big - Starring Tom Hanks
Most don't catch the irony that it is the Keymaster that spent most of the film locking himself out of his apartment.
It never ceases to amaze me how Millennials can't grasp Bill Murray's humor. Also, this movie is a comedy.
I saw this movie in the theater when I was still 7 years old. Some of the scenes were a little scary, but I loved it. I went into the movie thinking of it as a comedy, so that tempered a lot of the scary stuff, and the sexual aspects of it mostly went over my head at the time.
The scene where the demon dog attacks Rick Moranis character and the people in the restaurant go back to eating like nothing happened is so New York.....lol
Especially 80's New York. Lol
RIP Harold Ramis. We Miss You!
I highly recommend a 1993 classic called "The Sandlot." I think you guys would really enjoy it. Glad to find this channel.
They'll most likely have a problem with a couple scenes in that movie
One of the greatest comedies of all time. I could probably almost quote the entire movie.
The receptionist is the grandmother on Young Sheldon. The EPA guy is the villainous TV reporter in Die Hard and Die Hard 2. Dana is the hero of Alien and Aliens, which you need to see, as well as a *lot* of Bill Murray movies (like Stripes, Zombieland, What About Bob? and Groundhog Day).
They could hardly handle Ghost Busters and you suggest Alien???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@boomer63 (1) to showcase Sigourney Weaver (2) they'd know going into Alien that it definitely is not a comedy
@@shallowgal462 Yeah, I get it. Excellent suggestion, BTW. I'm thinking something a little more calmer like Gorillas in the Mist 🤣
I am cracking up at how scared you are at this. It's such a funny movie!
"The dude from SpaceJam?" Oh you poor children. Bill Murray is the GOAT of the 80's. Yesh!
You guys make me feel very old!!!, I went to my local Odeon cinema in Nottingham,UK in 1984 to watch this when I was 15 years old,the cinema was packed as it was THE blockbuster everyone wanted to see,great times!!
if you guys find this movie scary, i'd love to see your reaction to The Exorcist !
Cunjuring
They would BOTH be traumatized beyond repair. Let's not do that to them.
@@jeannieschmidt2217 Oh yes let's. They wanted to do a movie reaction channel, besides everything scares them
No no no no no. I'm still traumatized by the Exorcist.
@@Xcris_crosX Every movie reactor is different - and they have both clearly laid out what their limitations are. And they are so sweet and kindhearted - I would never recommend anything that I KNOW would severely traumatize and terrify them.
Nothing wrong with getting scared by some of these scenes. I remember finding some of it scary as a kid, mainly the Dana's chair scene and red-eyed, short-haired Gozer with the gravelly voice that reminded me of my Aunt Bev, but I grew up with an older brother who took delight in scaring me, so it takes more to get me nowadays. Scary or not, it's a fun movie.
Good call on noticing the Stay Puft Marshmallow man looked like the Pillsbury Doughboy and then mentioning the Michelin Man. The character was actually modeled as a combo of the Pillbsury Doughboy, the Michelin Tires mascot and Bob's Big Boy.
Just a tidbit for the future - Graphics is a term more often associated with video games. Movies and tv shows have special effects. You've got CGI, which is anything done by computer, which wasn't a thing in the 80s or really even most of the 90s. You've got practical effects, which is what's in the movie. Everything designed and operated by hand or remote control. This movie had that but also stop-motion animation with the demon dogs when they were running, like when one was chasing Lewis. Special effects is just that. Special.
@Ontario&theLetterZedFor sure. Also, I'm surprised at how long it took me to notice the bag of Stay Puft marshmallows on Dana's counter in the egg frying/refrigerator scene.
I wanna hear more about "Aunt Bev." 𝗬𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘀! (😉)
@@mollykillarney2419 😆Yeah, I think she smoked for a living.
My second favorite movie of all time. You CANNOT be offended. It was the 70’s, man. We didn’t know. Hahaha. This bunch of guys was comedy personified for our generation. They were everywhere. We loved these guys.
The 70's? This came out in 1984.
@@trekkiejunkLATE 70’s
Humor and comedy today is lifeless and this reaction proves it. Everything is taken at face value these days. Satire takes some thought and when when done right, like right here, is masterful. Too worried about being offended and sucking the enjoyment out of things, couldn't even finish this
I’ve seen other reactors react to this, Airplane and Police Academy and none of them took them seriously but in Jay and Amber’s defense they did admit growing up they didn’t watch tv or movies because they were only into sports
Agreed! As puzzling as I find some reactions to it, I remember seeing this as a kid with my cousin (same age as me) who didn't "get it" ~ 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹. In fact, I remember the 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 thing she laughed at was: "I feel so 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗸𝘆." ♡︎
This was my FAVORITE movie when I was a child. I was like...7 years old when this came out. Kids were just different back then, lol. And I can still recite nearly all the lines word for word. This was probably a gateway to more serious scary movies, but it was as far as I went. There was even a Saturday morning cartoon series based on it and I was obsessed with that as well.
"Tell me about the Twinkee Ray"!
It was your favourite movie when you were 7 but J&A almost didn’t make it thru it. Just goes to show that the generations since our time are getting softer and softer!! 🙄😂😂😂
@@allenosborne1201 know what one of my favorite movies was when I was 10? DIE HARD 😆 It was the time of parents letting kids grab any movie at the video rental store.
My kids were 5 and 7 when this came out on VHS and even THEY weren't scared! They got the comedy. They must have watched it dozens of times. And yes, we bought them the proton pack and trap and they played for hours!
@@karenlong5616 I didn't have the toys so I made my own proton pack out of a backpack and vacuum hose 😂
You guys don't know how happy it makes me that you have a movie reaction channel now.
I hope Karate Kid shows up soon.
The actress who played Dana was in a movie called Alien, from 1979. It's a little scary, but it has no ghosts or demons. You should check it out.
A LITTLE SCARY?!?!?!? That movie is terrifying!
Rob Squad Alien isn't for you. If this movie is gonna give you nightmares, then stay away from Alien. Just looking out for you guys.
“A little scary”
I love watching y'alls reactions to movies I grew up with. Thank you.
OMG you know we've got to get these guy's watching Poltergeist and The Exorcist!🤣
I Loved it as a kid and again as a father with children. They really loved it. I laughed a lot with your reaction.
Why is so many people on the street??? Because it was the 80's!! No Netflix, no computers, no cellphones, no playstations, just doing your life and mostly on the street, seeing what's happening! It was absolutely natural.
Regards from Chile!!
Plus on the why are so many people on the street, one it is New York in the 80s there is always lots of people on the street and two if you lived in that apartment complex would you be inside the building?
Harold Ramis R.I.P. You are still missed 😔😔😔
🤣😂 My kids laughed their way through this when they were 6.
I saw this in the theater when I was six. Then I demanded t-shirts and toys and to see it at least 5 more times. I’ve never seen anyone actually bothered by this movie. It’s hilarious! My son has loved it since he was about 7!
@46:50 "I'm terrified beyond the capacity of rational thought!" .... 😂😂😂
"I'm now getting kinda of scared of the marshmallow". Quote of the year. :D
