Now that you KNOW that the marshmallow man will be okay, try to rewatch that bit again. The real stay puft marshmallows were on Dana's kitchen counter earlier. When he climbs the building it's a King Kong reference. Obviously he catches fire, because that's what happens to marshmallows when you roast them too much. Even his destruction is harmless. Just a big SPLAT on the bad guy, who's then clearly alright. And if you turn off the sound? If you also think about it from a filming point if view. Obviously it isn't real. So precisely whow did they get the different bits on film? And where are the borders between techniques. The Stay Puft bit isn't just one take, but different tricks.🤔
now that she knows he's marshmallow, just know that you can defeat him by eating him...might need a giant graham cracker and an equally enormous chocolate bar
What Dawn didn't know as a child was that this Mr. Stay-Puft, he's not so bad. He's a sailor. He's in New York. If they'd just gotten that guy laid there would have been no trouble
The problem with the kids loving it was the studio wanted to dumb down Ghostbusters 2 in 1989 because the cartoon and toys were already huge at that point.
Don’t forget kids movies, especially for teenagers, were very different than the kids movies now. What was and wasn’t acceptable has gotten to be wildly different. At that point in time you could have some pretty gnarly stuff and as long as it was considered inimitable in real life you were good to go.
Verly largely true...though I believe Bill does act a little differently for at least one director...Wes Anderson. I mean, Steve Zissou was not just the same old Bill, right? LOL
And he is Genuinely a CREEP in real life too! Plenty of women and actresses have complained about him over the years.. He's said to be very "Handsy" and touchy. And wouldn't exactly take No for an answer
No Bill Murray plays the wisecracking, womanizing hustler in only MEATBALLS, STRIPES and the first two GHOSTBUSTER movies. Maybe WILD THINGS, but that's it.
@@yournamehere6002while he isn’t a “hustler” the rest of that description fits Phil Connors from Groundhog Day as well. Murray definitely has a “type” he plays a lot.
If you notice when the eggs start frying on the counter of Dana Barrett's apartment there is a bag of Stay-Puft marshmallows laying next to the egg carton giving a hint at what is to come.
As I watched this, I thought exactly the same thing. Here she is, watching Evil Dead and the likes, then a smiling man of marshmallow taking a stroll scares the bejeebus out of her. 😅
@@sparky6086 Ha! I still have my proton packs, my traps, PKE meters, Ecto-1 car, action figures and other things. But I think that doll got lost long ago.
Rick Moranis (The Neighbor) is a very nice guy and father. In 1991, his wife died, and he retired or took few roles from acting to raise his 2 daughters.
So well loved is he, that when he was randomly punched in the street in 2020, the Internet exploded with calls for justice for Louis Tully/Dark Helmet. Even though he hasn't acted for decades, he is still One Of Us.
I think you have faced your fear and now it will lessen and eventually disappear. Brave Dawn, you did it! And on camera for the reaction. Very commendable
Your fear of the Marshmallow Man is absolutely fascinating. I believe you and don‘t think you are faking it and at the same time it‘s like this can‘t be real, stop it. 😂
Yeah! I'm so curious what kind of phobia this is! Of really big things maybe? I feel bad it seems to have been traumatic, but at least she's in good spirits about it. :D
I can absolutely believe a kid would be really scared because to a kid you believe it's real. I can also believe as an adult it may mean you recall the scary memories when you rewatch. But actually hiding your view of the screen with your hand as an adult to a big fluffy marshmallow man is a bit odd to say the least.
My oldest son (now 42), when he was 7, got the full outfit, including the backpack contraption, for Christmas. Made his Christmas and all from watching the Saturday morning cartoon franchise from this movie. He loved it.

Semi-serious response to 28:30 - David Burns's TEAM approach, especially using behavioural methods like gradual exposure or flooding. It's a kind of CBT, which isn't just for people with depression or anxiety - there's a lot of evidence that it's particularly effective with everyday phobias.
"We both have the same problem, you." Such a great line. "Ray Parker, Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on August 11, 1984, two months after the film's release, and remained there for three weeks. It spent a total of 21 weeks on the charts." -Wikipedia
The interior was in downtown LA as it was much larger inside + closer to the studio, it was in several movies over years including "The Mask" in the 90s (It is the Mechanics that screw Stanley over & give him "The Loaner" 😂😂)
Also, for movie trauma. I don't know. I accidentally saw Bram Stoker's Dracula when I was 12 and it messed me up for a year. I slept with christmas lights on all around my room , crucifixes everywhere and the first week I had a sharpened wooden dowel as even smeared my bedposts with garlic. Even wrapped my neck up with a blanket.
See if you can find a copy of "The Dracula Tape" by Fred Saberhagen. It presents the events from Bram Stoker's novel, but from the Count's very different perspective.
I read both Dracula & Frankenstein in my early teens and couldn't read them after dusk. Never traumatized me though, as I could watch the films on late night TV just fine.
I had a similar experience when I was 12 and first saw “Count Yorga, Vampire”. It was my first exposure to female vampires which frightened me 10 times more than their male counterparts. I couldn’t sleep for about a week because I would visualize them as soon as I closed my eyes. 😫 I eventually outgrew the fear.🙂
It not only looks like shaving cream, apparently that's exactly what the movie used. Bill Murray didn't get as covered as everyone else because he had an allergic reaction to it.

@@feralart The role was originally supposed to be Eddie Murphy. After he turned it down, they understandably diminished the role and brought him in later on. You really think Ernie Hudson could rival the other 3 actors? Cmon man.
@@patsk8872 Rather, it takes a lot to rewrite an entire dynamic for multiple characters, each played in a specific way by unique actors. Fortunately, they managed to work Mr. Hudson in nicely as the guy who makes Egon explain things in English and who reminds Ray of the human cost in their work. Everyone loves Winston!
i just pressed play and im sooo excited to see u laff n smile....ur the best Dawn and ur vids brighten my day!!!!! also my bday is in 2 weeks soooo you should release The Transformers The animated movie cuz we all wanna see u react to it!!!!! luv u
I saw this as a young teen in 1984. You were right about the kids really liking it. Ghostbuster TShirts were common for a long time and songs from the soundtrack were on the radio for years. And yes, the lady ghost scene did cause discomfort with a lot of parents because they feared the questions later.
@@mamalannightshyaman The Mentor Pilot youtube channel is _so_ much better than the sensationalist shows like that. I think Air Crash Investigations is probably the best version out there (much better than "Seconds From Disaster), but it's still a lot more drama than information.
As a young kid in the 80's, my friends dad made us (his two sons and me) proton packs made of wood painted to look like the ghostbusters complete with our own plasma guns and traps again painted to spec. We played for hours as 10 and under year olds. It was great! As a boy, you're right, we loved it.
Ghostbusters is not a kids movie, but they did advertise it to kids. This happened a lot in the 80's. I had an Ed-209 toy growing up as a kid from the movie Robocop. Crazy times.
The EPA is the environmental Protection Agency And I think the reason That the guy was mad about the ghost jail Was because of how much power it was using and he didn't understand why they were using so much power
@@feralart No, he wasn't. He allowed his personal ambitions to override his professional duty. He was only there to take a trophy, make some headlines (remember, the GB's were now famous), and get himself a cushy office job with a good salary for life. He literally did not care about environmental impact, or else he wouldn't have ordered the whole rig shut off without proper inspection and investigation. That was how it was in the 80's, when there was little to no control put on agencies: small men with soft hands and big egos showing up to make their names, not to do their jobs. William Atherton was amazing in the role.
In the original script, the giant monster was going to be the Pillsbury Dough Boy. I don't know if you know that character in your country. The mascot for Pillsbury cookie dough, bread dough, etc. Instead, it would have been this really large version. They couldn't get permission to use the image because they didn't want their cute little mascot to be seen as scary. Instead, they created a fictional mascot by combining The Pillsbury Dough Boy with Bibendum aka the Michelin Man. You can see 2 references to Stay Puft earlier in the movie: A bag of Stay Puft Marshmallows are next to Dana's eggs that explode and fry, and as an advertisement on the wall of a building you can see when the ghosts are freed and burst through the ceiling of their headquarters.
There was a game for the Commodore 64 (that was what we had for computers back in the day), that featured a character called "Mr Meringue", and several other recognizable monsters w/ slightly different names. I suspect that the studio spent all their endorsement budget for the rights to use Godzilla.
Harold Ramis (who co-wrote this and played Egan) is a great screenwriter and director. Loved his work in this, Animal House, Meatballs, Stripes, Caddyshack, & Groundhog Day. A number of these featured his friend Bill Murray and were written to showcase the "lovable, smarminess" trait that made Murray famous even when he was a cast member on Saturday Night Live in the late 1970s. You've been watching his 80s & 90s roles pretty much. Later on in the 2000s, Murray would be used by director Wes Anderson in a number of films that brought out a deeper, darker, sometimes sadder performance from him in both leading and supporting roles. Anderson films like "Rushmore" and continuing on through "The Royal Tennenbaums", "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" & "The Darjeeling Limited" to name a few show more of his acting range. In 2003, Murray starred in Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" which won him a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. You might appreciate him more if you watched some of these.
@Dawn Marie - the "Who does your taxes?"" line was actually a replacement dub that was used for tv.. in the theaters he said "the landlords gonna be pissed" - The green ghost is called "Slimer" - the test Venkman conducts at the beginning is a test for ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) aka psychic abilities. The cast: - Tully (the spaceballs guy) is Rick Moranis - also known for the "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" movies among other movies - Venkman is Bill Murray, known for countless movies - hes just a very crass and unfiltered type of guy in general. - Ray is Dan Ackroyd. known for Blues Brothers, but also Trading Places with Eddie Murphy, and a handful of movies with John Candy. - Egon is Harold Ramis (RIP). He passed away after Ghostbusters 2, but if you watch Ghostbusters: Afterlife (the official sequel from GB2), you wont leave dry eyed. - Winston is Ernie Hudson. Also known for being the boss in the Quantum Leap reboot. - Janine (receptionist) is Annie Potts. She was most recently Memaw on Young Sheldon
Also, the true hero of the movie. They built an unlicensed laser containment grid in the centre of one of the densest population centres on the planet with no back up power supply or step down protocols. They were one powercut from disaster.
@@AnonEyeMouse And then proceeded to cause that power cut, thus causing the disaster. I'm not sure what you call that where you're from, but where I'm from, that's called "incompetent" (and also "arrogant").
One of the cleverest jokes in this movie is the most overlooked: When the green ghost is drinking a bottle of wine. Sure its pouring through him but when he turns HE is freaked out by the ghostbusters being there.
Bill Murray is in Caddyshack, his character is funny in that one, but Rodney Dangerfield stole that show. If you haven't seen it, it's has a very good chance to make your best movie ever list.
I like caddyshack, but its energy died about 25 minutes in. I think it was the lack of continuity between the opening Danny/family story to when the Carl Spackler character entered.
Rodnicious Dangerfieldder steals EVERY show. When I was born the nurse slapped me. The doc got in a few good hits too. Every time my wife wears heels she strikes oil. The doc told me to quit smoking, so I decided I'd only smoke after sex. I haven't had a cigarette in two months, but my wife's now on two packs a day.
Dawn Marie, if you really want to get over your phobia I recommend immersion therapy, you start by slowly becoming used to interacting with the thing which is causing the problem, in your case I suggest maybe looking at a picture of it say once a week until you're able to tolerate it, then once you're ready perhaps interact with a small model of it until you're okay with that, and then watch those bits of this film which bother you, a few minutes at a time until you can cope with watching it all without the fear.
SNL. There is a lot of adult xxxx subtext in t(e humor…. “Crossing of the streams” down to the slime. Keymaster and Gatekeeper to do their thing for e “goner”If you take the time to re-watch, you will catch the dirty minds of these three SNL alum’s writing
The slime is literally an element from the Victorian era, when spiritism and occultism were actually very popular. Ectoplasm was indeed a slimy substance connected with seances and spirit mediums and manifestations. It's really quite fascinating if you look into it, puts a whole different perspective on the time period.
Congratulations Dawn on seeing one of my all-time favorite movies. You are the first reactor I have seen to catch that the monitor shows the Demon Dog instead of Louis. Some easter eggs: There is a package of Stay-Puft marshmallows on Dana's counter next to the eggs and on the wall of the building near Ghostbusters HQ, there is an advertisement for Stay-Puft Marshmallows. So nice when they remember to include details like that.
Well, even for NYC, if they actually saw Vinz Clortho, there might be more concern (or not), but Louis was already being possessed by that point. Just a random person behaving like that, though? Yeah, business as usual.
4:55 Jesus Christ 3 different times asking if it's their first time when it OBVIOUSLY was. Seriously, I NEED to know how this woman gets through the day being as clueless as she makes herself out to be..
There's actually a phobia of large objects called 'Megalophobia'. Dawn's reactions looked exactly how you'd expect someone a phobia to react, mostly with gaze aversion. If you're scared of spiders and see a giant spider on the screen, you'll do the same thing. I've seen videos on utube of people freaking out as they approach large structures like, pylons, ships, skyscrapers, statues etc. There's a reddit forum about this same phobia. There a high chance Dawn sees Stay Puft in the same way gamer sees a fictional character, such as Siren-Head.
I had sunstroke and was delirious as a kid when we watched the original Dune on TV. I had nightmares about sand dunes for years! The best way is just to introduce Mr Stay Puft into your life bit by bit until you just get used to him. Felt so sorry for you watching him! ❤ It’s called “exposure therapy” if you want to look it up. It’s not as naughty as it sounds.
I never realized the Key Master constantly locked himself out his own room as a kid. Rick Moranis is an absolute treasure! He has given us so many great memories as kids and even still. I completely support him leaving the industry to raise his family, he owes us nothing. I'm not entirely convinced Bill Murray is an actor, just as Jeff Goldblum, I believe they're just being themselves with a camera in the room... Reply
I never would have guessed Mr. Sta-Puft would have such an effect on you. Maybe watching old 80s commercials of kids playing with it as a toy would be good therapy?
Such an iconic movie! After this, you have three more to watch: Ghostbusters 2, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. RIP Harold Ramis(Egon) ❤
I have a behavioral sciences degree and one of the common methods, although difficult, is exposure therapy. Facing your fear, but in a controlled environment with someone who makes you feel safe. Low exposure followed by increased exposure to the fear can "cure" it.
This is the first time I've ever seen anyone actually scared of Mr. Stay Puft!

@@patsk8872 Rather, it takes a lot to rewrite an entire dynamic for multiple characters, each played in a specific way by unique actors. Fortunately, they managed to work Mr. Hudson in nicely as the guy who makes Egon explain things in English and who reminds Ray of the human cost in their work. Everyone loves Winston!
Ernie Hudson is one of those actors you can depend on for a solid performance. Can't think of a singe role he's been in that he didn't play well.
Beautiful line delivery...
"Wuhl, are you sure you're using that thing correctly?"
"There's nuh... I think so"
7:00 Gotta love Sheldon's Meemaw.
And long before that she was Mary Jo Shively from Designing Women.
Cool cat.
Carl Winslow - and Captain Harris - were everywhere cameoing in the 80s!
If you think the marshmellow man is terrifying wait until you encounter......the 50 foot tall haggis man
In the Real Ghostbusters animated series, there is a point when Janine becomes a Ghostbuster.
Bible is definitely worth a read. Ghostbusters 2 is the best!!
I absolutely LOVED that Gozer made his appearance in her fridge.
i just pressed play and im sooo excited to see u laff n smile....ur the best Dawn and ur vids brighten my day!!!!! also my bday is in 2 weeks soooo you should release The Transformers The animated movie cuz we all wanna see u react to it!!!!! luv u
I saw this as a young teen in 1984. You were right about the kids really liking it. Ghostbuster TShirts were common for a long time and songs from the soundtrack were on the radio for years. And yes, the lady ghost scene did cause discomfort with a lot of parents because they feared the questions later.
Psychologist here. You get rid of the anxiety it produces by engaging with it until the anxiety goes away. Its called exposure therapy.
Is that why I’ve seen every episode of air crash investigations like 10 times?
There was a Ghostbusters video game released in 2009 where you fight the Marshmallow Man. Might that help?
@@mightyrobot42 That game was awesome! Except the PS2 version, which had game-breaking bugs.
@@mamalannightshyaman The Mentor Pilot youtube channel is _so_ much better than the sensationalist shows like that. I think Air Crash Investigations is probably the best version out there (much better than "Seconds From Disaster), but it's still a lot more drama than information.
So Dawn should eat a bunch of Stay-Puft marshmellows?
I’ve lived my entire life in the state of New York and I can confirm. We don’t get to the bar or club until 9pm. Sometimes, 10pm.
Oh my God, Dawn Marie edited out one of the funniest lines of the movie: "Get her! That was your whole plan: Get her!"
As a young kid in the 80's, my friends dad made us (his two sons and me) proton packs made of wood painted to look like the ghostbusters complete with our own plasma guns and traps again painted to spec. We played for hours as 10 and under year olds. It was great! As a boy, you're right, we loved it.
Dawn is afraid of the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man. I'm in Love.
Ghostbusters is not a kids movie, but they did advertise it to kids. This happened a lot in the 80's. I had an Ed-209 toy growing up as a kid from the movie Robocop. Crazy times.
The EPA is the environmental Protection Agency And I think the reason That the guy was mad about the ghost jail Was because of how much power it was using and he didn't understand why they were using so much power
No, he was mad because Peter didn't bend to his whims and wanted payback. Peck was on a power trip.
From his professional standpoint he was absolutely in the right.
@@feralart No, he wasn't. He allowed his personal ambitions to override his professional duty. He was only there to take a trophy, make some headlines (remember, the GB's were now famous), and get himself a cushy office job with a good salary for life. He literally did not care about environmental impact, or else he wouldn't have ordered the whole rig shut off without proper inspection and investigation.
That was how it was in the 80's, when there was little to no control put on agencies: small men with soft hands and big egos showing up to make their names, not to do their jobs.
William Atherton was amazing in the role.
Your PTSD from the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man was fire, I laughed so hard
Fantastic movie.
Ray in the firehouse for the first time would be me exactly!! 😄😄
The guy who always locks himself out becomes the keymaster. I'm always amazed that no one ever comments on that.
Dawn being traumatized by the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man is too cute. Love DMA.
In the original script, the giant monster was going to be the Pillsbury Dough Boy. I don't know if you know that character in your country. The mascot for Pillsbury cookie dough, bread dough, etc. Instead, it would have been this really large version. They couldn't get permission to use the image because they didn't want their cute little mascot to be seen as scary. Instead, they created a fictional mascot by combining The Pillsbury Dough Boy with Bibendum aka the Michelin Man.
You can see 2 references to Stay Puft earlier in the movie: A bag of Stay Puft Marshmallows are next to Dana's eggs that explode and fry, and as an advertisement on the wall of a building you can see when the ghosts are freed and burst through the ceiling of their headquarters.
There was a game for the Commodore 64 (that was what we had for computers back in the day), that featured a character called "Mr Meringue", and several other recognizable monsters w/ slightly different names. I suspect that the studio spent all their endorsement budget for the rights to use Godzilla.
Great movie. The sequel is also great. Other great comedy horror is The Golden Child.
Harold Ramis (who co-wrote this and played Egan) is a great screenwriter and director. Loved his work in this, Animal House, Meatballs, Stripes, Caddyshack, & Groundhog Day. A number of these featured his friend Bill Murray and were written to showcase the "lovable, smarminess" trait that made Murray famous even when he was a cast member on Saturday Night Live in the late 1970s. You've been watching his 80s & 90s roles pretty much.
Later on in the 2000s, Murray would be used by director Wes Anderson in a number of films that brought out a deeper, darker, sometimes sadder performance from him in both leading and supporting roles. Anderson films like "Rushmore" and continuing on through "The Royal Tennenbaums", "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" & "The Darjeeling Limited" to name a few show more of his acting range. In 2003, Murray starred in Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" which won him a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. You might appreciate him more if you watched some of these.
For top Bill Murray check out Lost in Translation.
“What About Bob?”
"Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!" - Peter Venkman
@Dawn-Marie-x-j I'd like to believe this is you, alas it is not.
It’s the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. 🤣🤣🤣. You are adorable!
@Dawn Marie
- the "Who does your taxes?"" line was actually a replacement dub that was used for tv.. in the theaters he said "the landlords gonna be pissed"
- The green ghost is called "Slimer"
- the test Venkman conducts at the beginning is a test for ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) aka psychic abilities.
The cast:
- Tully (the spaceballs guy) is Rick Moranis - also known for the "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" movies among other movies
- Venkman is Bill Murray, known for countless movies - hes just a very crass and unfiltered type of guy in general.
- Ray is Dan Ackroyd. known for Blues Brothers, but also Trading Places with Eddie Murphy, and a handful of movies with John Candy.
- Egon is Harold Ramis (RIP). He passed away after Ghostbusters 2, but if you watch Ghostbusters: Afterlife (the official sequel from GB2), you wont leave dry eyed.
- Winston is Ernie Hudson. Also known for being the boss in the Quantum Leap reboot.
- Janine (receptionist) is Annie Potts. She was most recently Memaw on Young Sheldon
the ass/pencil neck guy is also the ass in diehard 1 and 2
And in "Real Genius"
Also, the true hero of the movie. They built an unlicensed laser containment grid in the centre of one of the densest population centres on the planet with no back up power supply or step down protocols. They were one powercut from disaster.
@@madraven3346 oh yeah
@@AnonEyeMouse And then proceeded to cause that power cut, thus causing the disaster. I'm not sure what you call that where you're from, but where I'm from, that's called "incompetent" (and also "arrogant").
One of the cleverest jokes in this movie is the most overlooked: When the green ghost is drinking a bottle of wine. Sure its pouring through him but when he turns HE is freaked out by the ghostbusters being there.
Bill Murray is in Caddyshack, his character is funny in that one, but Rodney Dangerfield stole that show. If you haven't seen it, it's has a very good chance to make your best movie ever list.
I like caddyshack, but its energy died about 25 minutes in. I think it was the lack of continuity between the opening Danny/family story to when the Carl Spackler character entered.
Rodnicious Dangerfieldder steals EVERY show.
When I was born the nurse slapped me. The doc got in a few good hits too.
Every time my wife wears heels she strikes oil.
The doc told me to quit smoking, so I decided I'd only smoke after sex. I haven't had a cigarette in two months, but my wife's now on two packs a day.
I saw this in the theater when I was 5. Front row. That librarian scared the piss out of me. The marshmallow man didn't effect me though.
@Dawn-Marie-x-j huh?
Dawn Marie, if you really want to get over your phobia I recommend immersion therapy, you start by slowly becoming used to interacting with the thing which is causing the problem, in your case I suggest maybe looking at a picture of it say once a week until you're able to tolerate it, then once you're ready perhaps interact with a small model of it until you're okay with that, and then watch those bits of this film which bother you, a few minutes at a time until you can cope with watching it all without the fear.
...and then finally a 50 meter tall version of Stay Puft-guy?
@M0rket If you can find one? 😄
While eating marshmallows to show them who the boss is.
@@feralart Yes! 😄😂
Fun fact: Bill Murray lives in Charleston, SC and is a notorious party crasher.
SNL. There is a lot of adult xxxx subtext in t(e humor…. “Crossing of the streams” down to the slime. Keymaster and Gatekeeper to do their thing for e “goner”If you take the time to re-watch, you will catch the dirty minds of these three SNL alum’s writing
I always thought "crossing of the streams" was a metaphor for boys peeing out in the woods together.
The slime is literally an element from the Victorian era, when spiritism and occultism were actually very popular. Ectoplasm was indeed a slimy substance connected with seances and spirit mediums and manifestations. It's really quite fascinating if you look into it, puts a whole different perspective on the time period.
Congratulations Dawn on seeing one of my all-time favorite movies. You are the first reactor I have seen to catch that the monitor shows the Demon Dog instead of Louis.
Some easter eggs: There is a package of Stay-Puft marshmallows on Dana's counter next to the eggs and on the wall of the building near Ghostbusters HQ, there is an advertisement for Stay-Puft Marshmallows. So nice when they remember to include details like that.
15:30 I don't think it's because nobody saw it, it's because nobody cares.
That's right. It's New York City.
@@mgordon1100Bingo. We don't give a crap as long as you're not in the way.
Well, even for NYC, if they actually saw Vinz Clortho, there might be more concern (or not), but Louis was already being possessed by that point. Just a random person behaving like that, though? Yeah, business as usual.
Normal NYers would care. Those snooty prats at Terrace On The Park don't give a crap.
Wait, Dawn KNEW Venkman was going to do that!?! ...Well there's your real psychic right there.
4:55 Jesus Christ 3 different times asking if it's their first time when it OBVIOUSLY was. Seriously, I NEED to know how this woman gets through the day being as clueless as she makes herself out to be..
Being scared of mr stay puft is the most adorable thing (although tbf his official title is "the destructor")
There's actually a phobia of large objects called 'Megalophobia'. Dawn's reactions looked exactly how you'd expect someone a phobia to react, mostly with gaze aversion. If you're scared of spiders and see a giant spider on the screen, you'll do the same thing. I've seen videos on utube of people freaking out as they approach large structures like, pylons, ships, skyscrapers, statues etc. There's a reddit forum about this same phobia. There a high chance Dawn sees Stay Puft in the same way gamer sees a fictional character, such as Siren-Head.
I had sunstroke and was delirious as a kid when we watched the original Dune on TV. I had nightmares about sand dunes for years! The best way is just to introduce Mr Stay Puft into your life bit by bit until you just get used to him. Felt so sorry for you watching him! ❤ It’s called “exposure therapy” if you want to look it up. It’s not as naughty as it sounds.
I never realized the Key Master constantly locked himself out his own room as a kid. Rick Moranis is an absolute treasure! He has given us so many great memories as kids and even still. I completely support him leaving the industry to raise his family, he owes us nothing. I'm not entirely convinced Bill Murray is an actor, just as Jeff Goldblum, I believe they're just being themselves with a camera in the room...
Reply
YES! He ALWAYS locks himself out. That's why it is so ironic and such a great joke that he becomes "The Keymaster"
I never would have guessed Mr. Sta-Puft would have such an effect on you. Maybe watching old 80s commercials of kids playing with it as a toy would be good therapy?
That’s the funniest character to be traumatized by. Hilarious. Thanks for this reaction, Dawn.
Such an iconic movie! After this, you have three more to watch: Ghostbusters 2, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. RIP Harold Ramis(Egon) ❤
Part 2 for sure, but I wouldn't bother with the rest of the franchise.
@footofjuniper8212 Why not? The two most recent moves were pretty good.
*HIMYM:*
“Nothing good happens after 2am.”
*Dawn Marie:* "Nothing good happens after 9pm."
If Mr Stay-Puft gives you nightmares, wait till you get to Vigo in Ghostbusters 2.
I have a behavioral sciences degree and one of the common methods, although difficult, is exposure therapy. Facing your fear, but in a controlled environment with someone who makes you feel safe. Low exposure followed by increased exposure to the fear can "cure" it.
Small clue, when Dana first enters her apartment, beside the dozen eggs on the countertop is a bag of Stay Puft Marshmallows.
Ironic that Louis is The Keymaster when he keeps locking himself out of his apartment.
Just wait till she reacts to Gremlins. LOL I've never seen someone scared of the Staypuff Marshmallow Man.
