The Pest offers us, if nothing else, a rare glimpse of Miami when it was between the cocaine boom of the '80s, and the rise of meth in the early 2000s.
I don’t think everybody was addicted to cocaine in the 1980s and not everybody was addicted to meth in the early 2000s. And hate on the 1980s all you want, but, the 1990s and 2000s for the most part is very nostalgic for me.
@@HeatherAngus-vj2jqThe thing about Miami, is that's where it gets shipped to when it leaves South America. Miami as a city actually made a ton of money from the cocaine industry in the 80s. It wasn't really considered a major city before that. There are iconic images of NYC in the 1800s. Chicago in the 20s. L.A. in the 40s. Miami didn't really enter the public consciousness until the 80s.

This same year, John Leguizammo played a _literal demonic Clown_ and somehow, _this_ is the more ridiculous/ scary performance. Thing is, his actual _performance,_ while annoying AF...was actually pretty good... or rather, I never got _bored_ watching him on screen. *Annoyed,* yes... but never bored.
I blocked this movie out of my memory. That's how bad this movie is as a comedy, but that subwoofer/bass "Spank It" scene is the only part I remember laughing at.
The worst movie I've heard of/seen footage of is this poorly made horror film called 'Ax Em' there's an excellent review of it on RUclips if your interested (by The Cosmonaut Variety Hour).
I hate loud fake obnoxious laughs especially every 3 min. Starting the first 3sec with the mouth equivalent to firecrackers in the middle April😂😂 i wish there was a Playlist with just Martin/Korey so I can watch without the human equivalent of a car alarm going off. Love you from a distance billy
I know yet this was the one that not only had me in tears from catching every detail. It also has me thinking that why did Hollywood give that man $17 million dollars to make that piece of 💩 when there’s wayyyyy better filmmakers on iPhones who can do better than that.
What’s crazy to me is he was literally doing Shakespeare right around the same time and doing it WELL. It’s insane to me that the same guy who turned in a really good performance as Tybalt is the same guy who wrote, produced, and starred in The Pest. It’s frustrating because he HAS talent.
This was hilarious when I first saw it in the 90's. Half of my friends were this annoying. They annoy you until you have no choice to laugh. 🤣 This was actually kinda slow at moments. If I first saw it now... eh.
It was weird growing up cause I was 12 when this came out and was like "wtf he's horrible" but around the same time I saw his one play Freak and instantly John Leguizamo was my favorite person
They must not be aware of what made Jon famous. He was a kinda stand up entertainer. He would play many, many, many different characters. He was very talented at it. This was his first movie after finding stardom. Most stand up comedians have corny first movies. He was more a performer and did the same. Not a fan of him these days but he found a unique way to stardom.
Yeah, that thing about John Leguizamo being Puerto Rican :D : "Research by the genealogy show Finding Your Roots indicated that Leguizamo does not have Puerto Rican, Italian, and Lebanese ancestry, as he has sometimes stated. According to Leguizamo, his surname is of Basque origin and he has distant Basque roots."
They should review "to Wong Foo, thanks for everything! Julie Newmar" eventually. Korey,Billy and Martin would make 1 funny AF review out of that 1. lol
Man, I loved this film but I can understand their points. I know they corrected Korey but I’m pretty sure ever superhero movie has a moment when the superhero’s powers are inconsistent. I know it’s a silly thing to critique for a superhero movie but that’s honestly my biggest gripe with all of them. It just feels like the superhero is never in real danger because you know they will use their superpowers even if it’s inconsistent with what they’ve shown us.
Correction: Jerry Maguire only came out less than a couple of months before this one. That was released in December of 1996, while The Pest was released in February of 1997.
This is such a guilty pleasure of mine. Even as a kid I recognized it as bad. I remember thinking as a 7 year old kid "this should be a tv movie because it's not good enough for the theater". But I have seen it dozens of times. It's craziness just resonates with me as a adhd Latino especially as a kid lol
True but doesn't he sometimes describe himself as half Puerto Rican (I think due to his grandparents being from Puerto Rico)? I know there was some back and forward between him and his dad because of this.
6:27 to be devils advocate the "cape" is actually his (probably brothers) towel held by one of his moms hair clips that puerto rican moms litter the sink top with.
People want to say that being too offended is what's ruining comedy except just because you're trying to be offensive doesn't automatically make it funny. That's why we end up with alot of bad sandler films and movies like this, soul man, and airplane 2
44:35, According to IMDb, "Originally received an R rating from the MPAA. A scene where the Pest participates in bondage was cut out to get the film to a PG-13. You can see a brief snippet of this cut scene during the end credits." Kinda fucked up in my opinion!
I loved this film for just being stupid funny. I would suggest checking out Simon Sez if you want another classically bad but good movie that shouldn’t be as memorable as it is. Sometimes you just gotta have stupid funny. If you couldn’t , the Wayne’s would have nothing.
Maybe im weird, but as a teen I really i liked this movie. I saw it as them bringing a Saturday morning cartoon character to life, and with the title, he was intentionally annoying. If you converted every scene of this movie to animation, it really would be exactly in line with that and no different than a lot of animated characters. Is it award worthy material? Nope. Is it weird and fun? Yes! If I had to choose watching this or the billionth generic action movie with explosions and thin story, id choose The Pest. Sometimes it’s fun to have something different, and this movie is definitely different. It has issues, but it’s a lot like Ace Ventura in a way, you either let yourself laugh at the crazy and forget the dumb, or you’ll just hate the experience. But to each their own.
My aunt went to high school with John Leguizamo and I remember her saying “The Pest. That’s the perfect name for a movie with him”
Jackson Hights
😂😂😂😂
Yikes lol
Burn!
I met someone whose parents went to college with weird Al yankovic.
Do you know what they said about him?
He's a beautiful human being who is kind on the inside and out, and he's a wonderful person and I'm very honored I got to be his friend. He is a very creative and kind soul.
I read on Wikileaks that the military used this movie to torture the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

Me too
@@KhayJayArt this was definitely one of my favorite movies in my teenage years. stupid as all hell, but goddamn man, was it funny!!!

I mean, I liked to eat my boogers as a kid, so we're one in the same

Not gonna lie I have a soft spot for this film. Loved it when I was in the first grade. Dunno what the hell I was thinking lol.
Hey man continue to enjoy it..if it makes you happy thats all that matters
You were a 1st grader...kinda explains everything. I haven't seen this since I was in 3rd grade myself
I was in 7th I think. This movie was hilarious, still is. When I’m stoned 😏
I still like it .... Ik it’s dumb .... but damn it I have a soft spot for this movie .
I'm glad I missed this movie but I can see why a 1st grader would like this. It's so cartoony
"The Pest always has to be the center of attention...even when he's hiding..."
You know it's a good review when Billy lets out that signature laugh of his...

Need to review The New Guy, that's a double toast worthy review

Just for the bathroom scene alone
All I remember from The New Guy was when he threw the flaming marshmallow to his dads eye
@Bee Boo Hates Sensitive Vermin what u talkin bout
Aye hold on the new guy is a classic bad movie I love that movie
This and Master of Disguise share the award for worst movie I've ever seen and I've seen some BS in my 42 years
The worst movie I've heard of/seen footage of is this poorly made horror film called 'Ax Em' there's an excellent review of it on RUclips if your interested (by The Cosmonaut Variety Hour).
Finally I find someone on RUclips that's my age. It always feels like I'm among kids that are 20-30 years younger than me.

*I bet the script went to Adam Slander first.*
This was too goofy even for him
Every time Billy laughs a new bunny is born. 🌼 🐇 🌻 🐰
So it wasnt the Mario Bros Movie (but this movie) that killed Leguizmo's movie career then.

This movie has the *Greatest Opening* I've ever seen 😂😂
I watch these just to see Billy lose it xD
He was always a clown in his early movies but he made up for it when he got older with good serious roles.
What’s crazy to me is he was literally doing Shakespeare right around the same time and doing it WELL. It’s insane to me that the same guy who turned in a really good performance as Tybalt is the same guy who wrote, produced, and starred in The Pest. It’s frustrating because he HAS talent.
Ain't gonna lie, I loved this movie
Don’t think I could handle it now, but back in 98, this was my shit

As a kid, I loved this movie, thought it was so funny.
You know you're lying: if you didn't immediately search "The Pest opening sequence" right after watching this.
I didn't need to.....I still remember so well lmfao
