The 1980's... the best decade in history of movies and music! We had it so good. 😭
I'm an 80s kid. I try not to be biased. I have thought hard about pop culture in all the different decades, and I can't find a better one than the 80s. The fact that my Gen z kids and their whole generation prefer our movies and music says A LOT. It truly was the best time to be a kid.
Certainly
True, but we're also the generation that needs to stop spoon feeding our childhoods to our youth. They need their own voices.
70s and 80s were the best times
It was an awesome time…I was 13 in 1981….perfect time to be born.
I met Don Gibb (Ogre) in Vegas at the Sands Hotel in 1991. He called me and my friends a BUNCH OF NERDS! It was glorious. Don’s a good egg.
You Jackson? You look like a Jackson
@@paleo704 Haaaa!! They dont know about that... Bro was on speed.
@@paleo704Bloodsport.
Remember in the late 80's when Donald Gibb was on an HBO series called "1st & Ten" with O.J. Simpson as T.D. Parker & Shannon Tweed?
I met him in like 92 on the set of Rhythm and Blues with the Zima guy he was trying to ignore me and my buddies cause we kept screaming nerds at him 🤣🤣
They can shoot a new nerd movie now with this cast and I would still watch it ❤
likewise
Yep
Agreed!!!
NERDS NERDS NERDS NERDS 🥴
Be cool to see how their kids turn out in modern day.
This was gold. When Don said we're all still here 😊😊. 40 years later, they're still friends.
"Wormser is a master of aerodynamics, he's engineered the Javelin to compliment Lamar's limp wristed throwing style"...
Just reading it makes me lol
😂😂😂
the stuff they did in the 80s could never be done now, the wokesters ruin eveything funny
@@micheller7509Right! The hidden camera bit in the girl's room. No comedy could get away with that now. This current generation is nothing more than a bunch of pansies . 😅
@@micheller7509 Should do it anyhow. Shove it into the left's face. Don't let the left dictate anything. If everyone did this, the woke movement would disappear.
I’m 47 years old now and absolutely still loved the First movie.. makes me smile watching this
Anytime Revenge of the Nerds comes on, I watch it! I love this movie!
I call it a remote dropper.
Me too
Whenever I hear “Burning down the house” I’m back in the Lambda house watching no one dance and UN Jefferson looking bored af
40 years later and we still have bush.
Pan down!
🤣🤣
Thats it damn it! I gotta break out my Revenge Of The Nerds DVD and watch it tonight.
40 yrs later and the movie turned out true A.i gonna take alot of jobs away
Hair pie thank you
Revenge of the nerds 1 and 2 are national treasures and should be treated as such.
Nah the second one is objectively terrible but I love the first one a lot.
Uhh…. As a child of the 80’s I love the movie BUT movie hasn’t aged well..especially with sexual assault and being peeping TOMS..yea don’t think that will happen and wouldn’t fly today
@iceman0072 get out of Florida! Errr ummm, Jersey I mean.
@@dannikjerricko6506what
@@TH-cam-tiedI actually like the second one better.
Holy shit when Lamar busted into that epic rap and Wormser got up and did his thing 🤣🤣🤣❤🔥Thank you so much for this, classic film and a classic cast that remain forever timeless! (Referring to the reunion video, not the scene in the movie 😄)
That’s wormser far left ?
@@SimulationSimulacrum Yes it is.
Don't forget Poindexter.
Seeing Larry perform that song in 2024 made the whole video for me!!!
It takes us back to when they won the music competition in 1984.
You had to have Wormser moonwalking, and we GOT IT!! HELL YEAH!
Perfect cast of all time 😂
Is that Julia Montgomery? She’s 64 now (as of this comment) and still looks amazing! Dayum…
Still holding it down.
I wonder what her secret is on still looking good after all these years. Wow!
One of my first childhood crushes.
yep...still gorgeous...good genes..
No one would let her talk.
I met Robert Carradine at a Nostalgia Festival 2 years ago and he did a video shout out for me with the nerd laugh. Really neat guy. Plus, he did it for free which was also great.
This movie gave me hope as a young black nerd of the 80s😂
The Revenge of the Nerds movies were my favorite movies thanks.📺🇺🇲
The first one was good the second one was okay 3rd and 4th one not even worth watching.
RIP Bernie Casey.
U.N. Jefferson! What an awesome actor.
::Takes a toke of Boogers weed:::
😠……..”It’s good shit”…….
I remember watching this on HBO on a console TV that set on the floor with a black cable vision box with a dial that had 300+ chaneel what a terrific time to be alive man I miss those days
I had friends w cable boxes and I wa like wow they are rich. My brother got bad grades one year and pop ripped the box out no more cable =/
I watched it on a cabinet style tv with a tocom converter box.
We had it good, and didn’t realize it bc we thought it would keep getting better. We wax nostalgic because we realize it didn’t get better, just more complicated.
I put a piece of paper in my cable box that would give me all the channels for free. I love these movies as a youngster, I watch them every time they come on. I'm 54 now.
@@jerryseller1076 night shift great movie then
OH MY GOODNESS!!! This warms my blackened Gen-X heart. I smiled through the entire video. THANK YOU for sharing with us!!! We truly had the BEST movies, music, television shows and fashion... and nobody can convince me otherwise. NERRRRRRRRRDDDSSSSSS!!!!!
What an amazing panel! Crazy to realize this was 40 years ago.
Revenge of the Nerds was just a perfect movie for me to see when I was 12 years old.
N-E-R-D-S ! ! !
What about the grape scene?
@@len3169 Especially that.
I was 9 years old and it was the must see movie of the summer. I remember my 16 year old cousin took me. Lol
I was a freshman at the University of Arizona when they were making this movie. Got to see lots of the scenes being filmed and can see some friends in the movie who were extras. Great memories.
Nice!!
Anthony Edwards John Goodman and Ted McGinley were also great in the Movie
This movie came out the same year as The Scorpions; Love At First Sting. I already owned the album but the day I went to see Revenge Of The Nerds I bought the cassette and was listening to it on a walkman waiting for the movie to start. Whenever I hear Bad Boys Running Wild or Rock You Like A Hurricane I think of the movie, when I watch the movie those songs start looping in my head, they're forever linked together in my memories.
That’s awesome! I always think of Ratt Out of the Cellar. I was big into that when this movie came out
@@lfh1973 Robbin Crosby and Warren DeMartini wrote some amazing riffs, '85s You're In Love still plays on loops in my head regularly, (yup, there it goes, when it stops nobody knows) they're very underrated but I especially loved the drums on Ratt's albums, Blobby Blotzer used Ludwig kits with mahogany shells on his bass and toms, they had a very deep, rich sound while most rock drummers used maple drum shells with a higher tone.
By far one of the best 80's movies period.
Hamburger: The Motion Picture ranks up there as one of my all time 80s favorites!
I watched Hamburger at a very young age took 3 days to get rid of the boner
My friend's mom took a group of us 12-13 year olds to a theater & dropped us off. Don't think movies were as easy to vet back then (lol). Little did we know how much we would laugh (to the point of tears) & carry on about this movie for weeks & years to come. An absolute classic. They don't make them like they used to (unfortunately to so many).
What an amazing and refreshingly candid retrospective. Some of the films of the 1980s have qualities that will never be replicated so we need to keep these classics in minds of all future generations.
I ❤️ Nerds 🤓
The end speech by Gilbert still makes me cry 😢
Man our guys are getting old. 40 years already? I remember back in 2009 thinking how far away 25 years ago felt. Time flies. So glad they are atill with us
I was fortunate enough to have been at this show. These guys were so awesome to be around. And who doesn't love a good underdog story. I love it! Proud to be a NERD!!! :)
I saw Revenge of the Nerds when I was a child. It strongly impacted my life. I was forever an outcast in school from grades K-12. I was the one kid in the full lunchroom of 100 kids reading a book at the furthest table, by myself, as opposed to faking socializing with people whom didn't care about me anyway. This movie helped me realize it's good to be both a nerd and a bookworm. I am P R O U D to be nerd!!! You guys are fantastic!!! Be blessed!!!
Good to see Robert Carradine again! I met him in the early '90s when he and his friend Rick Johnson were taking the Fast Track High Performance Driving School at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which I was also in, we had a good chat. I timed their laps on track and they took photos for me when I was on track. He's a great dude!
It's been 40 years that this excellent movie came out. They were young people in 1984.
Yeah I was a young person in 1984 too and when I was really into watching this movie in the early nineties I was also a young person and then I was thinking to myself that movie is only 7 years old or that movie is only 8 years old I wish I was around back then to see it in the theater and now I'm thinking well that movie is 40 years old. Time flies when you're a wage slave.
@@McCucumber True that!!
I was like 6-7 when the first movie came out
I was five years 40 years ago. 😮
Clap Your Hands Everybody
Everybody Clap Your Hands
Poindexter, his hair, and that violin. Remember that the most about this song. 😀
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Julia Montgomery looks amazing. Before Revenge of the Nerds, I remember when she played Samantha Vernon on the soap One Life to Live. Her husband on the show named Brad Vernon was played by Jameson Parker from the 80's TV series, Simon and Simon. I was a student at the University of Arizona at the time and watched the filming of the scene where they were unloading that big trunk from the top of the station wagon into the dorm room. That was a great memory of mine and that movie is still one of my favorites.
yeah i wish she talked a little more here. After all....She was really a big reason I (we) all loved watching the movie so much back then... lol
"Gable" yeah coach . I want to see you and the other girls in the locker room NOWWWW
"Clap your hands everybody, and everybody clap your hands!
We're Lambda Lambda Lambda and... Omega Mu
We come here on stage tonight to do a show for you
We've got a rockin rhythm and a high tech sound
That'll make you move your body down to the ground
We've got Poindexter on the violin
And Louis and Gilbert will be joinin' in
We've got Booger Presley on a mean guitar
And a rap by little old me Lamar
We've got Takashi beating on his gong
The boys and the Mu's are clapping along
And just when you thought you'd seen it all
Along comes a Lambda 4 ft tall!
So won't you come on out here, on the floor,
so we can work our bodies like never before
Break! "
DAMMIT, YOU BEAT ME TO IT.... NERD!!!
I could say Ghostbusters or Freddy movies or Back To The Future but the truth is, kids in the 80s watched Revenge of The Nerds 1 & 2 more than any of the other classics, like every single day.
Revenge of the Nerds and Bachelor Party were at least a weekly thing in the 80s. That and Headbangers Ball
Larry B. Scott was also a Cobra Kai in KK. Legend! And in Seinfeld too!!
cant forget his character in Iron Eagle as well...I'll never forget the line in the movie..."why do you think they call him Ronnie Ray-gun?"
So cool seeing them all these yrs later. I have all of the Nerds films on DVD & watch them regularly. Nerds In Paradise is my favorite.
What I would like to point out is just what class acts all of these Actors and Actress were up on the stage. That really tells you what Hollywood has lost with the passage of time. If you look at some of these actors and actresses of today, they all think their politicians, and tell people how to live and how to think. You can really see the difference in people from that era compared to the ones we have today. The 80's was the best decade for film and music and thank goodness I had the privilege of growing up in that era. I really enjoyed this video it brought back so many fond memories of watching that film for the first time, thank you for posting this 40-year reunion panel, because many of us would not have been able to see this otherwise. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for posting this reunion.
9:19 them doing the song made my day ❤️
We are missing Ted McGinley, Anthony Edwards, and John Goodman. They should show up.
Wormser too!!
@@Tee19691 Wormser is there
@@Tee19691wormser is on the left
John Goodman can stay away, after what he pulled.
@@sid2112what happened
How in the HELL did I miss this?? I'm an hour away from Edison 😢. I need to start paying better attention to when events like this are happening around me. I would've given ANYTHING to meet this group, ask a few questions, and just thank them for being such a huge part of my childhood.
I don’t know if you mean Edison New Jersey, but I am passing that right now on the turnpike as I read your comment
Takashi hasn't aged.
He came straight out of da 80ssss!
Asian don’t raisin
it's because of all the robster craws in his diet.
@@jdbankshot"... I have a frush!... What's a frush?..." 😆
otamwa sumwah.....nerd
This movie made nerds socially acceptable and we owe them our gratitude. I love the line at the end of the movie where Lewis tells the jocks that there was more of them than the beautiful people. This has always been true, but we needed it to be said in a movie.
Larry doing the nerd rap was so awesome! This movie made a mark on my childhood. these guys created a timeless gem that still holds up today.
OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME !! I love each and everyone from the cast. Thank you for the wonderful memories 🙏🏽
My daughter went to University of Arizona. I never knew it was filmed there until I dropped her off ,beautiful Campus. Great movie. So 80s !!
what.a.treat.
these nerd movies were so great. Thanks for the vid.
Awesome reunion
They graced the screen with their nerd army four decades ago and we salute them
That was a treat to watch! Thank for posting!
I've already watched this, but I came back just to compliment the thumbnail editing. Well done.
Curtis Armstrong’s 2 iconic characters from the 1980s,
Charles DeMar from
“Better Off Dead”
and
Booger from
“Revenge Of The Nerds”.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
also loved him on Moonlighting!!!
That was fun.. have to say one of my most favorite scenes is Takashi doing the drunk tricycle race, "F×××ing Great!"
The song played during that scene still reverberates in my mind and did as soon as I saw him on stage.
@@pikehunter23750 so good!
and now to know that he was actually getting drunk while filming it...even better...lol
Them singing the Lamda song had me giggling like it was 1984 again..😂
Loved the nostalgia. ❤
OMG!!! This was the best!! I was rapping right along! Forever one of my favorite movies and I will forever have outbursts of "Clap your hands everybody........." in front of my kids. LOL!!! Great memories unlocked!
This is still fun to watch today, it's cool to see them here.
These were my favorite movies growing up. Watching them entirely too young...i was born in 80 and watched them in real time. What were our parents thinking? I think it single-handedly made gen x the cool peeps they are today!😂😂😂
This and Bachelor Party and trading places absolute classics
me too
Yep, born in 80 too and my parent's basically let me watch all those crazy R rated 80s movies.
@@samballesteros2822 and Weird Science...Kelly LeBrock in that era.....chef's kiss! My VHS of that had a bad part right at the scene where she appeared standing in the doorway because of being paused so much...as well as Breakfast club in the scene where Bender was under the desk and caught a view up Molly Ringwald's dress...lol
@@DiamondPaintWithDiamondDave yep weird science is a complete classic. "Well i didn't think it was a whales **** honey" 😂she was hott. And police academy too lol we were spoiled
I’m here all day for the lamda lamda dance!!
watched revenge of the nerds 1 and 2 sooooo many times as a kid, teen, 20s and even in adulthood. rented the vhs tapes, rended dvds, watched the short and censored version on cable, and watched it when Showtime and HBO had 2 weeks for free in the summer. great movies, nostalgic, and takes me back to my youth...most of all, very entertaining
This was great! And Anthony Edward’s was totally NOT MISSED!
Why? What happened?
Did he think he was too good for the reunion?
@@kena.8003 probably so! He’s like the Emilio Estevez in Sixteen Candles, he never wants to be part of any of the reunions or anniversaries of them.
Maybe he had other obligations. He is married with children.
@RebekahFlores-un7mk Probably because Emilio wasn't in Sixteen Candles! You may be thinking of St Elmo's Fire but I get your point.
How is this 40 years old??????
"You Mu's sure know how to party" one of my favorite lines....😂😂😂😂
Wonder Joints!
Thank you for the hair pie!!! Did wonders for me when I was 9! 😂
Im so glad so many of the actors of this movie are still around and getting the accolades they deserve. Revenge of the Nerds is BEYOND 1980's cult classic status👍😅
Legends... Every damn one of them up there....LEGENDS.
This is amazing, so many great memories!🥰
That's good stuff! Growing up in the 80's this movie stuck to us like glue, Very funny stuff!
1980s was pure magic! Best decade to be a teenager and grow up!
So happy I came across this as a huge fan of the movie, also make sure to get Curtis Armstrong’s,“Booger”, book it’s a great read.
where is Ted McGinley and Anthony Edwards? come on it’s not revenge the nerds without Stan Gable and Gilbert lowe
Now I wanna go watch Revenge of the Nerds.
Me too! 😁
That was amazing. Thanks so much!
These movies will always be the golden classics....God bless the 80's.....
Omg! I didn’t know I needed this. Thanks guys and gal😂
Betty is more beautiful now than she was back then "That's my pie"
I wouldn’t go that far
Was great to see and hear them!
It was a great show, glad to be there.
I remember watching the original movie in a theater, and at the end they have the part where someone says "If you're a nerd too, stand up!". I almost wanted to stand up in the movie theater and shout "I'm a nerd too!" but I was too chickenshit to do it. LOL
Why do I feel like so much more would had been said if the Ogre wasn't there? LOVED the rap replay. Made my day!!!
Just watched this panel and am so grateful you are all still friends. The movie is iconic and will last forever but i must say that of all you cast mates Julia Montgomery is still as beautiful as she was as Betty Childs. Sorry Mr. Caradine. You're still everyone's favorite nerd. Haahh. Haahh
I appreciate it more knowing the actors came up with a lot of ideas on the spot. That is what's lacking in modern movies. Spontaneity & just having fun.
They were here in Pittsburgh several years back and Don Gibb warmed right up to me and my daughter.
Really really really nice guy
One of the most fun movie series along with police academy
Brian Tochi was in POLICE ACADEMY 4.
At playback speed 1.5, this video much faster. Fascinating.
This is awesome. Brings back so many memories. 👍
I just want to say that... I'm a nerd. And I'm pretty damn proud of it. Thank you for making it cool to be nerdy. ❤
Stan: “Wutter you looking at NERD, hah?”
Booger: “I thought I was looking at my mothers old douche bag but that’s back in Ohio” 😅😂🤣
Should be mandatory watch for all high-schoolers
Timothy Busfield was in the movie Stripes before the filming of Revenge of the Nerds.
So was Donald Gibb..
And Creepshow
Thanks for posting this. This is great!
This makes my heart happy
I haven't smiled and laughed this much at ANY YT video. LMAO 😂 Great group of comedians on one stage.
This came out of shortly before heading off to college. I was so ready to go after watching this (and Animal House).
8:19 Larry B Scott jumping up to do the rap was AMAZING!!!
Revenge of the nerds was the first time I seen boobs when I was a little kid. It definitely has sentimental value to me. Lol
Revenge of the Nerds was on t.v. the other day and I loved watching every second. I just remember being a little child in the 80s and having zero parental control. I could watch anything and play outside, roam the neighborhood and town. No way this movie could be made today with everyone's little baby feelings getting in the way. Love this movie.
That was so awesome when cast including Ogre (Don) doing musical skit! I was 20 years old when Revenge of the Nerds came out. Like them, I went to tech school for my studies. I heard and read that all of them had fun during making of 1st Revenge. I am glad that Larry, Tim, and Julia (Louis' wife) attended here. Andrew attended one of these events.
So many good memories with this movie all parts. Just watching again now brings back the memories that were going on in ur life at that time
