The TJ Miller joke still works but in a different way. Now it comes across as an actor willing to do anything because he's not getting work.
Exactly what I thought it was.
I felt the same. Still works, just for different reasons.
I assumed that was always the case with him anyway. 🤷♂️
@@positivelynegative9149 exactly what i was thinking too
He is doing a comedy tour. Tickets are surprisingly expensive.
That was a rock-solid Patrick Stewart drawing.
All of his drawings are really good. Especially that poor puppy in the GotG3 Pitch Meeting. Super cute.
It was, dare I say... tight.
actually it was a soft piece of paper. So it's better than rock
He made it so...
The Super Easy line being said by the producer feels really poetic for this episode. I think it was a subtle statement on which of those two characters was really driving this movie.
Clever. He sees his formula unformed and he wants to die. We see it and make it poetic
In the Superman movie he says it will be super difficult, very much an inconvenience.
To me, it just felt like a subversion of expectations. Like “woah, that’s weird!” But not “woah, that’s bad!”
Someone writing "some kind words." And Ryan reading it the way he always does was an underrated moment.
To be fair, the TJ Miller joke still kinda works in the sense that he must be so desperate to get acting gigs again that he'll just take whatever roles he can get.
Looking at these comments, a bunch of people thought the same thing, me included. Ryan could have gotten away with never saying anything about that joke, and we'd have all just assumed it was another great bit of Ryan George humor!
It speaks volumes of how great his comedic writing is that even that joke aged very well, because yes, seeing it for the first time now, you'd probably assume the joke was he was so desperate to take anything lmao.
I was so far out of the loop when I first saw this Pitch Meeting, I really thought TJ Miller was an actor who, like Nicholas Cage, with his financial issues, simply took any role he was offered because he needed the money because he'd done something crazy, like get in trouble with the IRS.
DEATH OF THE AUTHER!!! LETS CRICIFY RYAN FOR OUR SINS!!!
Sidekick in Samurai Cop 4?? Sure!
I LOVED having producer guy say “super easy, barely an inconvenience” just that one time. Never more than one time ofc. It had shock value :)
Exactly. Shocked and amazed. Mostly shocked.
No, he says it in the transformers the last knight pitch meting, so thats two times
Question: Do you ever encounter scheduling conflicts between Screenwriter Guy and Producer Guy when trying to film Pitch Meetings?
That’s a really good question. I don’t know how do you manage their times so well
The most impressive part of all these revisits is that your little drawings take exactly the same amount of time to do as the Revisited pitch. I assume that's what "comedic timing" is, and sir, you're a real pro
I actually enjoyed the producer guy saying the line. It was a nice shakeup, and it'd be fun to see it again.
I saw it, heard, and knew something was off.
However, I was too distracted by all of the other things that made it clear this was one of the first Pitch Meeting videos ever to put my finger on it.
Shaking things up is super easy, barely an inconvenience!
No this is wrong!
I feel as if Ryan's Pitch Meeting for The Emoji Movie got more views than the movie itself.
It definitely got more laughs.
word.
Nope actually got 200 mil at the box office
@@yasseenrahmani Then the conclusion is clear:
Ryan needs to produce "Pitch Meeting - The Movie".
Would have the added benefit of "Pitch Meeting - The Movie - Pitch Meeting"...
@@yasseenrahmaniViews, not money, especially since _The Emoji Movie_ is still widely considered terrible and a failure even though it presumably made its apparent $50 million budget back.
1:53 I love how Ryan traumatizes himself while George couldn’t be prouder of his work.
I like it when Producer and Writer guy swap their phrases from time to time. Keeps them fresh and exciting.
It’s so weird watching old pitch meetings. The vibe is so different.
Different but…not unpleasant : D
old Pitch Meetings are TIGHT!!
He was so slow and it had so much less energy lol
I actually dig back when the characters weren't so hyper crazy and animated lol Like Producer Guy's delivery of "No.". I think I prefer the older, less self-aware stuff 😂
but still hilarious!
Wow, hearing Producer Guy say “super easy, barely an inconvenience” is… weird. Like, I’m so used to hearing it from Screenwriter Guy that hearing it from the other side of the conversation is actually kind of surprising. And that’s knowing that both of these guys are played by the same man!
I actually kinda love it I think it works as a joke in it's own right
Completely different people, it's just that the haircut is confusing
Same man? What are you talking about? 🤨
They are clearly wearing different clothes, so they must be two separate people. 🤦♂️
One of them is clearly wearing glasses
@@positivelynegative9149he must get his eyes checked
Ryan being perfectly self-aware is one of the most endearing qualities of this channel.
I love how you can tell exactly how old a Pitch Meeting is based on Ryan's level of goofiness. (Not a complaint, these only get better and better)
Have you ever liked a movie enough to feel bad picking it apart for a pitch meeting?
That's an awesome question. Ryan seems fairly content to keep his personal movie opinions to himself. I wouldn't have that self-control.
No movie is worth not doing a pitch meeting.
@@AlphaCentauri24Sound of Freedom?
He clearly loved the Big Bang Theory.
“Faster than the Flash” 😂😂😂
You need to start with "very kind words" before asking a question you dummmassss
Do a Pitch Meeting for National Treasure!!! I feel like it's perfect for a Pitch Meeting
I WISHHHHH
I absolutely love how "super easy, barely an inconvenience" was switched around this time, I really laughed
Stumbled upon your Pitch Meeting videos back in the old ScreenRant channel years ago and still rewatch a lot of them to this day.
Question: Have you ever thought of doing Pitch Meetings for stuff like video games or other forms of media aside from shows and movies?
Thanks for all great laughs, Ryan!
I like seeing these because it shows how you guys developed your talent over time. Great job, writer guy and producer guy!
Only five years, and they both look so young!
These two totally-different guys and definitely not played by one person are really great together. I can’t wait to see how they are, five years from now.
@@What.99 It's almost as if they invest in each other's career!
@@kellik5453 Oh, they definitely do. They each want the other to be successful, and you can see that in every video. Such a wholesome pair.
Hey, you forgot to thank the Review guy. 😋
You gotta take it easy on yourself! There are a lot of things you think are “bad”, like the whoosh sound, but it’s just your style at the time. It’s fun to watch your channel evolve, but I really like the old stuff too. All of it is good!
Literally no one cares.
@@popeyboy5108A. obviously your toxic ass cared enough to comment 😂😂😂 B. Obviously Ryan... He talked about it... Get yo toxic ass outa here
At least his "style at the time" wasn't tying an onion to his belt.
I really enjoy these "revisited" videos! Have you ever dreaded having to go watch a particular movie and/or do a pitch meeting for it, but felt like you had to because it had enough hype?
Ryan, I appreciated your "under the weather" reference, even if nobody else does. Your gamble paid off, against all odds. There are a few of us out here...somewhere.
Hi Ryan! Absolutely love your vids.
Question, have you ever planned on doing a pitch meeting for a movie that you went to the theaters for, but then decided not to make one for it?
"The late great Kevin Feige" lmao
Also, I assume a Pitch Meeting for Disney's Wish would be super easy, barely an inconvenience?
Producer Guy saying "super easy, barely an inconvenience" feels like something that could still happen today, but as a bit. Like Screenwriter Guy stops and just kind of stares at him for a few seconds and goes "You can't say that! That's my line!"
My whole family loves Pitch Meetings. They're so great.
Since you talked about this being one of your earlier videos - I've seen some folks redo their early stuff after they hit their creative groove or get more experience with editing and effects. Have you considered re-recording some of your older Pitch Meetings due to jokes that didn't land right or aged poorly - or just because you think you could do them better now?
You should do some pitch meetings for some of the real old classics.
Like Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, From here to Eternity, or Ben Hur. Or any of the many great movies made before 1970.
I can see the Wizard of Oz Pitch Meeting starting and ending in black & white.
I have a vague memory of him explaining why he doesn't do this in a previous "revisited", but I don't remember the reason he gave.
@@GaryVirta I think he asume few would watch them. His target audience probably doesn't watch a ton of old movies.
@@GaryVirta If I recall, it was because he typically ends the video with a screen shot of a recent online article about the movie in question. He said he'd be open to ending these with some other type of joke, though.
@@GaryVirtait’s because he’d have to find an article from Screen Rant for the final sting and Screen Rant doesn’t really have many articles about old movies. I think the only reason he could do the Dumbo one was because Disney was remaking it and it was relevant again.
The Emoji movie was written to be pitch meetinged.
Your use of words is 🤌
@@LuisSierra42New York Italian mafia guy hand gesture? Hmm OK.
Pitch meetinged. Verb. To be made into a pitch meeting.
No, i think that was the Cats movie
@@YourResidentPersonWhoDoesStuff
That would be a verb, not a noun. You'd be changing it from a noun to a verb.
I really appreciate how you found the voices of the characters as you evolved these. It really adds to the comedy
Thankyou Ryan. Seriously, you bring much levity in an unleveled world. A true beacon of comedic light. Thankyou.
I love this series.
I think more artists should reevaluate their old content this way.
Usually artists of all kinds have a hard time dealing with older and often worse content because they LEARNED and IMPROVED along the way.
And its hard to put yourself out there, for everyone to judge.
And this kind of celebration of Ryans progress is wonderful to me.
I am so glad you can critique yourself but honestly I think everything you have done with the pitch meeting is Gold. I do miss the executive producer guy you had during the infinity war pitch meeting. He was great. You should try to get him back. Anyway great work looking forward to the next one.
3:00 Yo, the switched roles!
You’re such a perfectionist that you’re too critical about your past content which was great already! Keep up the awesome work!
Hi! This is Mark from the comment you’re currently ignoring. 😂
No I'm not get recked
I heard this in Ryan's voice
@@LeatherKing6688 getting perceived is tight!
Ignoring this is super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
So, you have a perception issue for me?
I wish to have the same amazing progress in my creative endeavors as Ryan had growing from the early meetings to now.
It is inspiring to see 😮
Love the channel, been watching since 2019. I always stop what I'm doing when a new pitch meeting is posted to watch it.
Who are some comedians/comedies that have inspired your pitch meetings/personal channel?
All jokes aside, I hope you feel better soon.
I've only recently discovered the breadth of what you've created with your "First guy to..." videos. My days are much better with a few of your videos slipped in here and there. I wish those good feelings back on you a thousandfold. Pardon. A thousand-fold. Hrm. Wait. A thousand fold, I decided.
Thank you and you're welcome.
It would actually be kind of interesting to get a compilation of Pitch Meeting bits that aged horribly
None! They are immortal and don't age, just like sparkly vampire dudes!
word.
Like that Schindler's List Pitch Meeting.
@@poppers7317 Oohh ho hooo! Landing that joke was super uneasy and very inconvenient.
Wow wow wow... wow.
Lately I’ve been watching your pitch meetings before actually watching the movie. There are a few movies that I would much rather watch you give a pitch meeting for rather than watching it myself. All Robin Williams movie, and Brokeback Mountain. You are very entertaining Ryan. Thanks for the videos you create.
Brokeback is magnificent - I really recommend watching it. It'd be hard to do a pitch meeting for because it does't have many plot holes or silliness.
One of my favorite pitch meetings is Point Break, especially the line, "So, what....what is this?". Also I rewatched Backdraft, and it seemed pitch meetingable.
I LOVE these Revisited videos...and all your other vides. Big fan of both channels. A questions, please:
When you meet someone in real life who is not a fan, what's it' like explaining what you do when people ask? Thank you!
5:05 Honestly making producer guy say the line makes it a fun twist
Two questions if I may:
1. Can you tell us some of your favorite movies? (and perhaps some of its "pitchble" plot flaws)
2. Being a good critic and analyzing scripts for quite some time now, would you say that you could write a good movie?
I thought the whole thing was hilarious! Literally everything you do is gold!
4:24 Well... there was no need, but that kind of video editing is still a good thing to use, because it usually keeps audience's attention when you use some motions and sound effects.
Hi Ryan, love your Pitch Meeting videos! What is your least favorite Pitch Meeting that you’ve ever done?
Question: How do you pick questions to answer on Revisited episodes? Are they from posts in the comments section of just the most recent Revisited video? Or do you pull questions from other videos as well? If I were to mail or fax you a letter with a question what are the odds you would answer it?
Maybe try smoke signals?
Your dedication to us, while you're sick is truly appreciated.
Great stuff as always! Your comedic perspective and insight are what keep *me* coming back! That said...
The "Super Easy..." line doesn't have to be included in every Pitch Meeting Video. In some cases it actually feels forced. I think.
1:24 - "I mean, I don't want to toot my own horn, but..." Why was I expecting him to pull out an actual horn and toot it there? (Missed opportunity! 😂)*_
That was a pretty good Patrick Stewart drawing I think!
Hadn't realized the emoji pitch meeting was one of the first ones, it's one I watched fairly late, so I liked Producer Guy having it super easy, barely inconveniencing. I did think it was odd that Screenwriter Guy didn't react to it though, as he does in another instance.
Love love your videos! Any time I hate or even love a movie I come straight here to see what you got.
First of all your movie snack choices are perfection, when I was a kid I would mix swedish fish in my popcorn. But sour patch is my fave candy now so I gotta try that combo, hoping you were being serious and not trolling lol .
Question: what did you want to do for a career when you were younger? Screenwriting? Critiquing? Or being a veterinarian like the rest of us?
Thanks for all the amazing content you put out for us!
Thanks again Ryan! I hope you’re feeling better soon!
I think it'd be cool to have a pitch meeting where the two guys switch catch phrases!
I’d love to see a pitch meeting for Van Helsing sometime. The whole movie is absolutely bonkers and ripe for a meeting of the pitch!
Can't figure out what you've changed, exactly, but your acting has gotten so much better. Really impressed - subtle differences but really lands so much better these days.
After revisiting all of these older pitch meetings, have you ever had the idea of redoing any of the ones you think don't hold up as much similar to what you did to Harry Potter? Great work by the way, I've watched these for years and love every single one
Serious Question: Sometimes you even do Pitch Meetings for trailers or even re-releases and I find those particularly fun to watch as well but how do you decide to do those? Is it just that you're fairly inspired to write something about it or is it more dependant on whether there's some clout over the trailer in question?
Looove your work by the way, keep it up for the rest of eternity :)
We all knew he was gonna draw Patrick Stewart right? Yet it still killed me lol, this channel is amazing
loved this mate, pls do more!
Great content as usual! It's so weird seeing those very early pitch meetings. I may have asked this before, but would you ever consider making an all-french one-off pitch meeting?
0:46 sounds like the pitch for the super mario bros movie...the new one
Some very kind Words! How do you come up with the ideas for your non pitch meetings sketches? do you have like an brainstorm list?
Seeing that you have uploaded a new video always makes me smile. Then watching said video makes me laugh.
Occasionally you have long tangents or breaks from Screenwriter Guy and Producer Guy talking to each other, like the "tell don't show" voiceover from Avatar: The Last Airbender or the action leaving the office during BOTH Mando pitch meetings. When do you feel breaking the routine is warranted for a joke? Have you had a meeting where you originally wanted to include a long drawn out joke interrupting the two of them but had to abandon the idea as just not funny enough?
I totally thought the reverse “barely an inconvenience” thing was intentional and clever. I had no clue this was an early rendition of it.
Hi Ryan!
Question: What's your selection process for doing pitch meetings for older films outside of the new releases? Do you randomly pick one or have a list?
Also, do you have fun making your other series like "the first guy to" & "naming things" or does it feel like more work sometimes because you're playing multiple characters?
He's mentioned that one of the problems with doing older stuff is that part of his formula is an ironic hard cut to a Screen Rant article, and you don't get too many of those for _Citizen Kane_ or _Casablanca._
@@boobah5643ahh gotcha. thanks! I guess I'd have to revise my question to: "Could you use other random articles outside of screen rants for the hard cut?" although I'm sure contractually he won't be allowed to.
I didn't realize the emoji movie was so old that its pitch meeting had camera shake.
Love this look back and analyze idea!
Love your content dude. Could you/would you bring back the phrase : "And then a bunch of stuff is gonna happen because I failed physics..." It's such a great burn on modern action movies. Keep up the good work!
Hey Ryan, here’s my question: what’s the farthest you’ve gotten on a Pitch Meeting video before deciding to scrap it because it just wasn’t working?
You haven't seen anything with David Spade or Pauly Shore...have you?
@@alexandercain732 is the implication that Ryan wouldn’t be able to finish a video for a movie that stars one of those actors?
I still laughed my ass off again. Especially the tj milller part 😂
this is gold. and love the self-criticism closing.
These are always hilarious!
What are your least favorite pitches? And what are your favorites?
You do the best work here. Keep at it.
Curious question. Is that the same stack of papers you've been using since the first pitch meeting? Or do you change them out?
Do they ever get used for anything else? Or are they specifically your pitch meeting papers?
This is very important to me. I must know.
Do you think you will ever do a pitch meeting for Destroy all Monsters?
This guy’s out here making all kinds of quality content!
The revisits are my favorite pitch meeting videos now
Hey Ryan, love the channel. Would you consider doing Pitch Meetings for the Scream franchise? They’re my favorite movies of all time!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
So, do you have a teen murder movie for me? Ryan pointing out all the plot holes would be tight and I also love the Scream franchise
@@jelita_ Scream 4 was the first horror movie I ever watched. I watched Scream 2 (kinda) by watching a playlist of clip on yt (Scream 4 had been free on yt, the whole thing). Those are the only horror movies I've seen. Once I turned eighteen in six months I want to watch the whole franchise
@@YourResidentPersonWhoDoesStuff I didn't know Scream 4 is in RUclips. Enjoy the movies once you turn eighteen
@@jelita_ its not anymore, sadly. I went to watch it again the other day and it had been taken down
you are my favorite funny guy of all time! I’m planning on becoming a writer (professionally) when I grow up and love watching you critiques
Question:
I heard you went to some film school, can I ask what did College you went to? Have you ever thought of becoming a writer yourself!!?
Thanks!
I notice there’s a camera shake through out this video!
Thank you for the Revisit! I hope you get well soon ❤
Great content! Love your videos! When should we expect to see "Pitch Meeting Revisited" Revisited videos?
You should bring back the jokes about the producer guy getting of the back of the writer guy
Pretty sure someone pointed that out in the last one of these retrospectives and he's already used it again in the most recent pitch. Can't swear to that second half but he definitely acknowledged it in one of these.
@ross-carlson I think he might have changed it to "hey shut up" but as far as I know in the last video he didn't use it.
This movie was cursed. The Pitch Meeting potential was the only saving grace.
This is one of my favorites of the older ones. The line "I did great" still gets me every time.
The rare instances where I recognise a thing people mention, Triple X is a movie I watched a lot, not exactly because I loved it that much, but because we had the dvd, only a few other movies, and it had cool stuff in it. To make it clear, Triple X is a movie I would LOVE to see a pitch meeting for, if only because of the sheer nostalgia factor.
Sudden realization that Ryan has to watch pretty much every movie that comes out in its entirety especially the bad ones
You really evolved a lot since then, that's great.
What bothers me the most in that old episode is the camera constantly moving slightly, it's weird.
Hi Ryan!
I always look forward to your videos every week and I make a moment out of it where I’ll eat Oreos and watch the video and it’s probably the best part of my week
My question is will there ever be an Across the Spider-Verse pitch meeting?
I haven't watched the original Pitch Meeting for this movie and now I got recommended this... wow wow wow... wow! Can see your growth into a proficient actor through all these years and that's cool af 😂
To be fair, the TJ Miller joke still works, cause I thought it was about how his schedule is now completely free
😏
I love how even when he's talking normally, Ryan can't help being hillarious....................................... probably gets a little annoying after a while if you are his friend in real life.
What's wrong with making your friends laugh? :')
Honestly, Ryan the “Super easy, barely an inconvenience” joke works no matter which character says it, as long as the context of it makes sense, the joke always lands for me 😂
I laughed so hard at that last question and answer. Commenter and Ryan, that was amazing.
Are there any requested pitch meetings you've already decided are never going to be made?
06:02 Im 14
My nine-year-old loves watching your stuff and thinks you're the funniest person in the world. It's the first time I've ever been proud of him.
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
