lmfao just fyi btw: in the original addams family show, they were just very eccentric with unorthodox interests, but not immortalesque nor did they imply they were criminals. part of the joke was that they were the opposite of the standard 50s/60s sitcom family, which included being a wonderfully functional and passionate family (including showing gomez and morticia in their SHARED bed.) also, gomez LOVED paying taxes because he knew it was his responsibility as someone with wealth and ran for office when he thought his taxes were too low. a true king
Wow that’s amazing!! Haha I see how their a total contradiction to the typical 50’s nuclear TV family
Feel free to ignore this, as some people prefer this without explanation, but I have a theory as to what the Addams's deal is. The main family branch seemingly started somewhere in Eastern Europe, and one of their members possibly married a demon lord, or a dark Fae prince, or something of that nature. However, the marriage went unexpectedly well, and the entire family became obsessed with the strange, spooky, and all together ooky. They spread across the globe, and the centuries of marrying and breeding with whatever dark entity's they could find lead to the family not really falling under any one species, just being Addams's.
gomez needs to teach the rich men of the world a thing or two about being a man.
The munsters also shared these qualities.
I'm pretty sure that the hand of Debbie Jellinsky was actually Thing.
I wonder if either of you caught Debbie yelling "NO PERSON IN THEIR RIGHT MIND COULD LOVE YOU!" and then Fester's next love interest ends up being a woman literally named Dementia.
Hahah nice! Wow
As if Debbie could be considered to be in her right mind🤣
"Are they immortal or something?"
The theory is that Addamses cannot be killed by members of their family (though the great aunt who was beheaded by her own children might disagree). As soon as Debbie says 'I do', she can't kill Fester by any means. When she rejects the family, the 'curse' is lifted from her only and Pubert can 😵 her.
That’s an AWESOME theory
Technically Pubert doesn't kill her.
Debbie killed herself by not observing safety rules with high voltage electricity - either protection for her hands, or making sure live wires were not lying about.
The guy throwing the switch on the electric chair in The Green Mile is using rubber gloves for good reason.
The great aunt could work if we say the children denounced her as family, or she denounced them.
Also work in why the kids try to kill the new baby but fail and the parents are worried cuz at the same time the kids see him as a Addams and part of their family is because of that and thinking they would replaced that they did try to reject and take him out, so in the end it could be a 50/50 stuff perhaps and that's why the parents try to find a nanny
@@cas2762 True.
Morticia’s power is her own lighting everywhere she goes, and no pain threshold.
Gomez’s powers are investing in ANYTHING and making money (FYI family’s net worth is around $2 billion) and loving Morticia.
All of them have the power to dodge/withstand death.
Oh no, it's not that there is no pain - she just feels pleasure from it 😂
In a well lit room, Morticia generates eye shadow 🥁
Honestly I saw a really nice theory about how the Addams family cannot be killed by family, or die from natural causes, but normal people can kill them. The reason Debbie couldn’t kill Fester is because by marrying him she became an Addams, thus the protection set. Pubert managed to cause her death because she denounced her place in the Addams family.
Gomez’s life dream is actually to be a failed investor but he’s never managed it. Everything he’s invested in succeeds. That’s actually part of why the Addams have so much money
@@mnomadvfx Yeah hence no pain threshold, she enjoys all pain.
As a native what Wednesday said about mobile homes and reservations is very… accurate sadly, but I rlly love that they had her say that line.
Joan Cusack as Debbie doesn’t get enough credit for her iconic performance. The camp levels are off the charts 🔥
I think she gets the right amount of credit,which is *100%.* Every person who has watched this movie says she's amazing and iconic because she is!😎💖
I agree. I hope some drag queens model themselves after her.
Joan Cusack is a legennnnnd!!
@@jacquelinecallejas1390As you should! Lol
Joan was THE SHYTE!!!💯💯💯
Imagine a RUclips LIVESTREAM where it’s just Morticia reading aloud Dr. Seuss books with a slight note of despair.
Oh no... he lives...
Are you enjoying this?? Too think….fans of mine
@@alexprado3704 YES
🥶🥶🥶
He kept asking how the Addams are seemingly immortal and asking about the lore surrounding them and what it is is that the Addams are creepy and they're kooky, they're mysterious and spooky and they're all together ooky
😂😂😂
to me, this comment has like a thousand likes 😂
Rizzo’s totally right the “they had sex” joke never gets old, I always giggle or laugh out loud when I hear it. Christina Ricci’s delivery is just perfect
Also the thanksgiving pageant massacre…iconic
The whole scene with Deby and her PowerPoint presentation is my favorite.👌
😂😂
Malibu Barbie!
@@ad8554 the nightmare!
@@ad8554the nerve!
It's the early 90s, so it's an actual slide show, with printed slides, that go into slots of a slide projector.
Debbie was perfect but she did one thing that they could not overlook. She betrays them. She did not love Fester, she only love his money.
I don't even think they cared about the money part. It's stated several times throughout various iterations that the Addams are seemingly infinitely wealthy or always find themselves back to comfortable amounts of wealth
18:26 “All that I could forgive…but Debbie…Pastels” WHAT A SICK THIRD DEGREE BURN 🔥
She definitely needs the ICU for that one haha
I said it before (on another video) but Debbie fits the Addams family mold perfectly and they would have accepted her, homicidal tendencies and all !! She couldn't accept them as the "traditional family" she wanted.
AGREED!!
Debbie's fatal flaw was that she was too selfish and greedy. She wouldn't share anything, and that's why she didn't work out.
Benji asked what would happen if the baby had actually fallen to the ground from the top of the house...at the end of the movie he was shot to even higher heights then the house (like 35,000 feet) and reached the ground with no consequences in the slightest...so there's your answer
I love this movie so much. It's *SO* good. You can't find a more solid couple than Morticia and Gomez. They are life goals. The family unit is so solid and invested in each other in a way that doesn't grate on each others nerves. They are AMAZING (despite the murder and mayhem and grim insanity).
Hahah exactly
Fun fact: Pubert was supposed to be Pugsly's original name back in the day. So it's nice to see that the name made it back into the Addams Family eventually.
Quote of the Day: “You know, you don’t have to be an Addams to hate this.”
“Who knew that the worst punishment they could give would be a gay man’s dream?” is sending me 🔥
Raul Julia, Joan Cusack, Angelica Huston and Christopher Lloyd ate and left no crumbs while embodying these characters
I’ve always wanted to be Debbie so bad, I know she bad but she and icon
*ALSO, HAPPY THANKSGIVING* 🦃❤
ALSO ALSO, Raul Julia is a Puerto Rican pride and legend
Indeed, so sad that Raul didn't live to make #3 - another great film he has a big part in is Presumed Innocent.
Angelica Huston refusing to do another Addams movie without “her Gomez” after Raul Julia died 😭😭😭❤️❤️ I love them
My favourite part of the Addam's lore is there has never been a consensus on where Gomez gets his money from. Its different in every version and thats kind of perfect.
I love how this reaction yall unintentionally switched roles lol Rizzo was more "love the ride" and Benji was more dissecting it all
Right!? Hahah
25:05 Debbie’s Soliloquy with Slides is quite an underrated moment in cinema. It’s darkly comic. Also, Joan Cusack as Debbie is dramatic which is (chef’s kiss)
My family and I whenever we don’t get what we want we always say..”Malibu Barbie”
🤣🤣🤣
Hope you don't burn the house after that! /j
This is the rare movie where I like the sequel better than the original. That play and the Turkey song are pure Thanksgiving for me 😁😁 And I agree that this is absolutely Christina Ricci’s best role ever. The casting was perfect
As a 30 year old woman who's about to spend an 8 hour car ride in the back of the family minivan... I really wish y'all had done something crazy and posted the video at 8 AM. It would have helped pass the time. I love this movie, and y'all are the best. I can't wait until tonight!!
😂😂
100th like 👍🏼
12:36 I always imagine when reminiscing about Debbie, they say something like “She wasn’t an Addams by blood, but she was an Addams all the same.”
So, I can't remember where I saw it but there is a script somwhere with notes from the director where he basically says that he understands its a kids movie but he had to be allowed to shoot it so the audience knows that all Morticia and Gomez want to do is f⁸ck, all day, every day, or he wasn't going to direct. Its very funny. Love your reactions guys ❤️
2:52 She’s immortalised the template of Wednesday Addams. Also, brilliant in ‘Casper the Friendly Ghost’ as well.
Between Wednesday Addams and Katrina von Tassel from Sleepy Hallow idk which role I love more
Benji: “Are they all blonde on purpose?”
Me: “JUST WAIT! It’s going to be a major plot point you are not ready for!”
Oh, god, please do Ever After. Anjelica Huston is unmatchable, and it is one of my all time favourite films. I legit cry as the film starts because I'm so happy to be watching it >_
It is one of our FAVORITE movies for BOTH of us!!🥰🥰
@@PinkPopcast seconded
I miss the 90’s level of CAMP when it comes to movies. Nothing nowadays hits the same way.
"It has to be damp." Morticia always destroys me 🤣🤣😭😭
They individually lit every shot Anjelica Huston was in to give her the light across the eyes effect. So...yeah, probably a flashlight on a stick
Debbie was an absolute campy joy to watch. One of my favorite comedic movie villains of all time
This movie is sheer perfection. The cast couldn't have been better. 💜
So if you're interested in more, the Addams Family was originally a series of illustrations and comics from Charles Addams. If you can find it, I HIGHLY recommend The World of Chas Addams - it's a collection of his works, from the Addams Family to some dark little advertising pieces he did during his career. The book is out of print, but I believe you can still find used copies here and there. TOTALLY worth it.
69th like 👍
How have I not ever noticed, until watching this, is that at the end... when the baby is out the window of the airplane... it's frickin Amanda and her parents?? man, I'm blind lol Love the reactions. Always crack me up
Benji’s impression of Anjelica Houston as Morticia was ON POINT! Also, not the lighting 🔥
Hahah thank you!! It’s so fun!
Gomez and Morticia are couple goals.
They love each other so deeply. Definitely a better love story than Twilight. Lmao
Side note I always forget shelia from Shameless is in this movie. She definitely awakened my bisexuality when I was younger.
5:34 The way Gomez says Pubert cracks me up every time - the way it's delivered! XD
It’s unfortunate that Cousin It didn’t have more screen time unlike the last movie. Cousin It is just too adorable ❤
24:59 Considering Pugsley and Wednesday played with the Electric Chair in the previous movie, I’m not surprised they’re comfortable.
Someone probably said this already, but the Addams were originally supposed to be a family of monsters, though Gomez was a human married into the family. The movies from the 90s changed it so he was the Addams and brother to Fester. Fester and Morticia were originally siblings, and Grandmama their mother. Because they're monsters in the very Americana sense, it's left up to question on their mortality, and death is more about story convenience than hardcoded into the lore.
You are confusing The Addams Family with The Munsters.
In Munsters one of the family (Marilyn) is completely normal, but the rest are indeed monsters - the grandfather is a vampire from Transylvania and the father Hermann is basically Frankenstein's monster.
(their car is called Dragula which Rob Zombie liked so much he made a song about it)
The black and white TV show of TAM was basically this but far more tame in every fashion - Wednesday actually seems her age regardless of her oddness relative to other children, whereas the Ricci Wednesday is just a younger, snarkier Morticia and altogether too grown up by comparison to Pugsley who isn't that much younger.
That would actually make SO much sense if Gomez was a human who married into the family! Cause everyone else is a pretty clear monster trope (Morticia- Vampress, Grandma-witch, Fester-Igor, butler-Frankenstein) aside from the kids who would be “mixed” half human, with each kid mainly taking after one parent lol
@@PinkPopcast In most versions, Grandmama is Gomez's mother. The musical has a gag where Gomez and Morticia realize she might just be neither of them's mother, it is the best joke in the show.
Peter MacNicol and Christine Baranski are perfectly unhinged and hilarious as Gary Granger and Becky Martin-Granger respectively. Talk about brilliant casting 🔥
😅😅
Pubert dressed as Marie Antoinette will never stop being hilarious.
Fun fact: Although the character was a baby boy, Pubert Addams was played by a pair of twin girls.
Rip the great and fantastic raul Julia. No one could ever replace him
10:24 Fester’s Defense after being called European: “…but I took a Bath!” 😂
I watch another fun channel called Cinema Therapy and one of their videos discussed why Morticia and Gomez are the perfect marriage and I agree. They are so in love with each other and support and adore each other. These movies really show that.
I was wondering whether or not I’d see this comment; hello fellow cinemaphile who needs therapy 😂
@@romancenovelfreak hello!!!
Yes, I thought the same thing watching this!
YES CINEMA THERAPY 🫶🫶
I think I knew that I had grown up when I went from watching these movies and being grossed out or annoyed by Gomez and Mortitia’s relationship to thinking “aww, I hope I have a marriage like that. They’re so great together!”
I was laughing so hard non-stop during this video my boyfriend had to come in and check on me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I haven't laughed this hard at a Family Values reaction - thank you for this perfect gift
❤️❤️❤️
Well, based on their performance at the Charity Auction in the first movie, I feel like we know that Gomez and Morticia are DEFINITELY NOT QUIET lmao 😜
The Addams family movies were some of the best memories from my childhood .......... Baby ( Pubert)'s character was played by twin baby girls who were blonde too 🥰🤣 24:06 it was SO adorable and hilarious
Joan Cusack is an absolute ICON in this movie 💋
Love the review. Big Wednesday fan here (both the character and the show). I adore Christina Ricci's performance in this film, it's superb! It really resonated with me as a kid how ghastly the normal people were in the summer camp to anyone who was different and how Wednesday refused to back down to the bullies.
I don't think they actually murder anyone in the movie (at least not on purpose). You see Amanda and her family later on sitting on a plane on the way home, clearly very traumatized but alive! Also when Morticia and Gomez are talking about "no survivers" on their noneymoon cruise there was obviously a disaster of some kind on the ship where everyone died except them of course. They definitely are dark and can survive things that can kill others but I'd still want to work for them as a nanny. lol
I think somebody may have said in the comments but yes the Addams are supernatural and there is lore(not spoiling) but they don't focus on it most of time and its like something thats just there. Its treated like the Addams a mystery.
I think it’s amazing either way!!!
nah spoil. Spoil away.
9:43 Oh Jesus Christ ! 😶🙏 Why do I realize this only now !!! I almost fainted
Rumor is, they got Anjelica Huston and Joan Cusack to play supporting character roles in Wednesday season 2. ...... And Im here for it.
Joan cusack as Debbie is just 💯👌👌 plus that speech from Wednesday about thanksgiving
" The gods of my tribe have spoken they say do not trust the pilgrims especially.... Sarah Miller" 😂
Wednesday was the only character from my childhood I genuinely identified with because I was an outcast kid and I hated everyone 🖤😂😂🔙
I love the both this one and the first one. There is something nostalgic about them and fun. My mom introduced me to the original tv show and I fell in love, I don't know why, maybe because they just embrace their weirdness. I said to my mom the other day we need to watch it because it's a Thanksgiving movie and started singing "I won't stay fresh for very long...so eat us before we finish this song!!" Also someone pointed out on social media it's not actually a Thanksgiving since they are at summer camp and I was mind blown!! Love this movie and love this reaction!!
Benji's reactions throughout this kept making me laugh out loud. Also, I just realized the camp counselor is the same guy who played Renfield in Dracula Dead and Loving It. I Used to think he was so funny when I was little.
My most favorite movies of all time are Adams Family 1 & 2. Family values taught by this family is the best thing you can get from TV.
I'm happy the Riso guy is speaking respectfully for my movies. Those movies deserve all the respect possible.
I just binged all of Wednesday today...it just doesn't scratch that itch. It felt like a generic magic school mystery wrapped in a thin layer of Addams. That being said, I desperately want to see what others think and would love a reaction
Definitely planning to check it out, can’t wait to see what I think of it
At least its entertaining on its own.
8:21 AAAAAAAAAAAAA Meredith Blake, another icon in cinema. The ‘90s had some iconic female characters in comedy.
(We want the reaction to ‘The Parent Trap’)
We absolutely have to at some point!!
The first one is good, but this one just has a very special place in my heart 🤣
This sequel was beyond funny! Great cast, well written!! I loved Joan Cusack, she cracked me up!!😂😂....... And as always, RIP Raul Julia!!
11:13 In the previous movie, Morticia declares Gomez was once like an unhinged demon once. That should’ve been enough of a hint lol
4:45 When I first saw it, I didn’t realise that Cynthia Nixon was in it too. This was her ‘Baby’s Day Out’ (a Cult Classic) Era.
3:49 Rizzo is mirroring my thoughts: They’re all chill and I love the family dynamic ❤
Right, and also right about Gomez and Morticia’s relationship, get someone who looks at you the way Gomez looks at Morticia
I love this movie so much. Ricci Is genius. The definition of passion has a picture of Raul Julia next to it.
The "deadpan "(pun intended) is absolutely perfect
"Thats Disney!" That's, The Sound Of Music.
when Deb asks "these addams men where do you find them?" and Morticia says "it has to be damp" ...she says that because Fester to means to rot...usually in wet, damp places
ok I didn't think I could love ANY reaction as much as I loved this one! Addams Family Values is one of my favorite movies and I'm so glad Benji finally came around to at least accepting the Addams' for who they are: creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky. thanks for the laughs guys! ❤
The reason they didn't have the audio from the little mermaid is this movie was made by Paramount and they couldn't get the rights to include any copyrighted audio.
Hahaha that’s what I figurwd
Thing being able to drive bothers me a bit, too, mostly because it feels like it was written with the Thing from the magazine cartoons in mind: in those, Thing was a vaguely humanoid... THING that lurked in the mansion, spying on the Family and on the readers, peering out from behind bannisters or railings. The TV show conflated him with various hands and arms coming out of things in those cartoons for simplicity's sake.
Also when I was in school, I had to storyboard a scene from a movie and I chose the turkey musical eat me scene and it made me so upset that none of my classmates (who were 8 yrs younger than me) had no idea what Addams family values was.
Like I’ve said “Morticia and Gomez have a very healthy relationship.”
I think my favorite thing about Raul Julia's portrayal of Gomez is how he delivered such Shatneresque dialogue without actually shatnering.
Literally binged the entire series today (AKA the day it came out on Netflix) bc I too am a huge fan of the Addams Family Values. Please please do a reaction! Luv u guys!
Another fun fact: Pubert was originally going to be Pugsley's name in the original TV show.
I need you two to know I shall be binging Wednesday all day and capping it off with this reaction ❤❤❤😅
I freaking love the Addams family movies Angelica Houston n Raul Julia were just the perfect morticia n gomez
I really liked the new TV show. Hopefully you guys will put those reactions on RUclips, loved seeing this movie again!!
To me, Addams family values is top 5 best movie sequels. It’s better than the original. I think because I watched this all the time, I always wanted to be like Wednesday or Lydia deetz from beetlejuice.
I didn't watch either of the two movies until I was an adult, and I can say they are one of my favorite series. I love both the movies.
“But Debbie, pastels?” gets me every time 😂😂😂😂
11:41 Great Freeze Frame. Also, one of the tombstones is of a Vulture so anything goes lol
i personally love this movie even more than the first one mostly bc of debbie but also that wednesday & pugsley have a little bit more screentime.
I just love the Cusacks. All of them.
5:18 "I'm not gonna say I had a crush on her... but I'm not gonna say that I DIDN'T have a crush on her." OMG Same! 🤣
Great reaction! This really is the best live action version of an animated property.
This was so good, loved the vid
I’m sad to hear that Benji hasn’t seen much of ‘The Addams Family’. It’s Queer Paradise in my opinion.
I remember seeing commercials for The Addams Family movies on TV a lot when I was younger but I don’t think I’ve ever watched one. I like the Wednesday show so far and so does my Dad. He’s a fan of the 60’s Addams Family show.
Love this! And omg please do an Ever After reaction! That's also how I was introduced to Anjelica Huston. She was incredible in it.
I haven’t watched the new show yet but I’m SO excited for it! Would love to see reactions to it on this channel!
I have always adored The Adams Family and it would be fun to see you reacting to the series or the other movies
You know, I think the reason why there’s so called, immortal, is more because they’re just extremely lucky all the time. My guess is after they went to the muta triangle in the first movie their luck gang significantly
