It makes me incredibly sad that After Hours is over. Cracked killed legends.
Apparently it was coming for a long time, but from the outside it looked like it came outta nowhere. Sad panda.
It's officially over??!!!!
Can we make a petition?
Not unless your petition can pay the bills of all the people involved in the production of these skits in the highest cost of living place in the country. Cracked was downsizing for a long time, and now their video making forays are officially over. They just weren't profitable enough to survive.
@@anthonybowman3423 I mean, isn't that the point of patreon?
It just sucks. Is OPCD over too?
It's not that After Hours is over. Cracked is over. They don't make videos anymore.
The fact that Soren can't do math being brought into a whole separate video with the bet thing is just perfect.
That has nothing to do with math, the logic doesn't work
My biggest problem with romcoms is that a lot of them have a subplot where one of the leads has a S O that they cheat on.
Only the woman. She always has a decent guy she inevitably dumps for her "true love". The guy almost never has a girl friend unless she is dead, gone or a complete bitch. If the guy dumped a nice girlfriend there'd be hell to pay.
@@marccolten9801 Yeah, I'm thinking you don't watch a lot of romcoms. The guy has also has the dull/boring girl or the silly/bimbo who clearly isn't up to the heroine's standards. My Best Friend's Wedding was the best subversion/aversion of this
Well that's part of a long running effort in literature, movies and pop culture to promote the idea that cheating and adultery are OK
Watch Chris Evans movie
Agreed. And it's always treated like true love prevailing or something.Always annoys me.
How on EARTH did Cracked have so much creative talent in one place, and blow it? Baffling.
The internet changed. Now everything is gatekept by social media. That's why everything is pictofacts. Articles and longer form videos don't work on instagram and Twitter
I want someone to look at me like how Soren looks at Daniel.
I know right? they're so cute together
Oh for fuck's sake! You are not going to make me ship this! No fucking way! Absolutely not!
.
.
.
It's already too late isn't?
+Palmtop Tiger ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I ship it!
now now children, rule number 1 of shipping, no shipping real life people.... (no matter how cute they are togeather
Today I learned:
Cameron Diaz is always adorable.
Julia Roberts is a monster.
Dermot Mulroney and Dylan McDermott are two different people.
On the last point - both men appeared on a sitcom together making me crazy as I could not remember which of them starred in Cemetery Man. I finally looked it up & it was Rupert Everett. So now there are three of them.
@@marccolten9801 -- It's been said (by SNL) that Rupert Everett is the Gay Dermot Mulroney.
@@jondunmore4268 I love the SNL Sketch "Dylan McDermott or Dermott Mulroney"
Lauren T they got that idea from this show.
And John Cusack is bad. Just bad.
One of the few Rom Coms that breaks the mold: "When Harry Met Sally..."
While the two main characters are antagonists for most of their time, they are honest with each other and largely respect one another -- and aren't villainous assholes trying to undermine one another until they finally fall in love.
I hate to say it, but . . .
You know, the guy that wrote that does not believe that men and women can be friends? But you're right, THE CHARCTERS were mutually supportive non-monsters!
@@billskinner7670 It's the case for a lot of people
"Practice makes a malpractice case." - Michael Swaim
I have a theory that Soren, Katy, and Michael are a figment of Daniel's imagination. I don't want to go too far into it, but if you watch the episodes with that in the back of your head, a lot of the weird things the others say in the script start to make a lot more sense.
For example in this episode, the woman looks at Daniel and makes a cross because she sees him talking to himself.
I like this theory and would like to hear more evidence.
But what if all of us are inside Daniel's head? D:
Well he is an actor and he has watched a shit load of TV and written a shit load about TV. It probably is the case he's been trying to foster this alternate subplot for this series for a very long time. He is a damn good writer and loves these sorts of theories.
This theory sounds like a cracked video
Katie rocks that hair style...
True, true.
Right? She pulls short hair off really well
That vest made her look like Liza MinnellI
You've got something on your neck, Brian.
Yeah she do.
I would say there is one "romcom" that isn't this: My Big Fat Greek Wedding. it's literally a movie about a woman who just kind of wants to live her own life, who lives with her, sort of, over baring family (and they want her to marry someone specifically Greek) and she decides to kind of just, be her own person. And, she does that. Not necessarily with the total endorsement of all of her family, but they support her, mostly. Then, she meets a guy who isn't Greek and she falls in love with him. Yes, she lies about dating him, but, she's aware that her family wouldn't approve, despite the fact that she's 30. But, when everyone realizes that they are in love, they all just accept it and the ending is still happy, and no one has gotten jilted to is upset or had to go through the emotional fighting that most romcoms go through.
All of that makes me feel that it doesn’t count as a romcom. Not much is at stake in the film and frankly, much as I enjoyed watching the film, it’s not that funny at all. It’s more of an indie slice-of-life film, the kind that Edward Burns would make.
Greek Americans find that it stereotypes them as dysfunctional families.
@@darlalathan6143 to be fair, I feel like any family that lives in America is slightly of not completely dysfunctional, so, like, they made a real American film.
I can ruin that movie for you, the actress who plays the protagonist is the writer of that movie and she didn’t just write herself as the Cinderella kind of fairytale princess but also she wrote in a very handsome man to be her prince charming and gave him her husband’s real life name, and if that’s not enough she made her husband who’s an actor play the role of that Prince Charming’s best friend and forced him to watch first hand his wife kissing a man who is the exact opposite of himself, tall with long flowing hair and a very handsome face. The worst part is, that the whole “my big fat greek wedding” plot is based on what her husband actually did in real life, her husband actually converted to Greek orthodoxy so he could marry her, and he was Jewish (Conversion is much more difficult for jewish people)
What makes it work is that the conflict of the movie has basically nothing to do with the relationship, but instead with the family.
I knew I’d like this video once I heard,
“Satan’s in every face” LMAO
In the proposal Sandra bullock threatens to fire Ryan Reynolds if he doesn't marry her to defraud us and make herb citizen.
And I love Sandra bullock in movies
Clarissa R Best line of the film.
Will you marry me, because I want to date you.
Sure they fell in love, but there's almost no way for her to pass the engagement test because she spent the whole time campfire dancing and trying to feed a dog to a hawk.
While You Were Sleeping: Sandra Bullock cuddles up to a rich guy's traumatized family while he's in a coma not sleeping. If he'd died they could have had a life insurance fraud sequel.
Best part: Dermott-ology/Soren's shriek of laughter.
bossfan49 time stamp
Kyan Nezhad 2:47
You could also argue that a lot of action films have you rooting for the villain. Some of the times, they actually kind of have a point
yeah the Predator was a very honorable hunter
In every Batman episode/movie/game with the Joker, we always root for the Joker.
jirodyne That's just because the Joker is charming and funny......
Like Handsome Jack in Borderlands 2..... Not the Pre-Sequel......
Watching GI Joe cartoons as a kid I always rooted for Cobra.
That´s awesome it means you´ve seen movies with good writing it´s not incredibly easy to root for the hero because the villain is kindaa right or you understand where he comes from
"Dermot Mulroney- he's an actor just doing fine in Hollywood" Why did that make me laugh?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah! Dimwit mulch money. Anyway...
I have to re-watch this anytime I watch the Dylan McDermott Or Dermot Mulroney SNL sketch.
It’s gonna be another night where I binge these because these ppl always felt like friends, my friends are like this.
"Cameron loves them both" You're damn right I do!
She does. I've seen her loving.
Classic Cameron!
Oh Cameron!
That's our Cameron!!
The cast of Love, Actually is like The Legion of Doom.
“Rom-Com, short for Trauma Accomplices” Brilliant. Who wrote that? Brilliant.
Just watch some Disney movies Dan, absolutely no way to pick those apart to find out they're actually horrifying. No sir.
You don't watch much Cracked, do you?
I love you 😂😂😂😂
Well in Frozen there's the sort of love interest who is half secretly in a relationship with a reindeer. Ha. I win.
lol. next on after hours.
also love your screen name.
I honestly root for Hans in Frozen for a royal leader...but he may go a bit far with actually killing them, im sure if he just waited long enough....
Soren's reactions and facial expressions in the 1st 2/3rds of this vid cracked me totally up
His reaction shots are usually one of the best things about After Hours. He can make chewing look funny.
totally hilarious!
Yeah. They've got really good chemistry.
He does that in most of these videos. I honestly can't tell if it's in the script or if he's breaking character when he does it because the timing is perfect and it looks sincere.
Counter Point: Wedding Singer
Adam Sandler is a guy who helps Drew Barrymore realize that her fiance is a lying, cheating jerk. (and in the process prevents her name change to Julia Gulia)
Punch drunk love -- the best of the (non Christopher Reeve) Superman movies and a good Adam Sandler movie.
@Laverne Blaszczyk what about 50 first dates?
I like Funny people. Is...is that bad?
10 things I hate about you was one of my favorites. It was based on Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare and I played Katherina in our class play.
Really???!!!!
Yeah I mean it was made clear that the bet was wrong and he had to make up for it, at least
Taming of the shrew is in itself extremely sexist
No one cares
@@manasim.9936 Thankfully, "10 Things I Hate about You" was not.
they literally gave Davmus Mulch dude the Bumberman Cumberlyn treatment I'm laughing
You mean Bandersnatch Cummerbund?
yeah him Heather Dew
+Heather Dew I believe he was referring to Bendadick Cumburnedbuns
Vandersnoot Cabbagepatch? Love him.
shit these jokes are terrible
Come on now, Daniel looks gorgeous in this video, veritably gorgeous. He was my favourite one to gaze at, I actually rewound his clips, like.. too many times. The tan and that shirt look amazing on him!
o....kay then
Should Daniel ever turn up missing at least we'll know where to look.
+Brett PGH Hahahaha, naw, I'm not crazy. Just smitten.
summergirl4567 He's not an object bruh. He has feelings. He's a person.
whos daniel
The Wedding Singer! Adam Sandler plays a nice guy with a terrible woman who cheats on him. Drew Barrymore is about to marry a douchebag and they both leave their horrible partners to be with each other. There! A romantic comedy about nice people finding love.
"All I Wanna Do Is Grow Old With You"
(instant tears)
My boyfriend sang that to me on our anniversary.....oh the feels!
Wedding Singer is probably one of the few romantic comedies that doesn't leave me horrified at the main couple. They are both two genuinely nice people that find each other after having to spend time with horrible people, one even actually leaves the person she was going to marry on the alter on the wedding day, the person should be able to figure out that they don't want to be with that person before the day of the wedding when everything is paid for and it just embarrasses the person that was dumped. That was one of the reasons why I couldn't get behind Mary Jane and Peter in the Tobey Maguire version of Spider-Man. Mary Jane was about to marry a boring but nice guy whose family was paying for the entire wedding, but dumps him at the last minute for Peter. I mean it is shown that she was hesitant about marrying the guy and really wanted Peter. She could have any chance before the wedding day.
So true! Movies use that plot device way too often. If you're having serious doubts about your relationship, you need to actually say something before hand. Also, it's always the brides who run away and leave the guy at the altar. Way to make men hate women even more, Hollywood.
*slips into After Hours mode* But they aren't nice people finding love. They're people in committed relationships (Barrymore at least) looking for something else. If she doesn't love the guy she's with she should leave him. She shouldn't just wait around for someone to sing to her on a plane. And as far as Sandler goes he's overstepping his bounds. It's not his place to decide that the man she's with isn't good enough for her so he gets to break up their relationship. Contrary to what romantic comedies teach us you should only be seeking out a relationship if you aren't already in one. If you are either work on that relationship or end it. Don't immediately move on to the first guy who holds a boom box over his head. *I felt Katie working through me on that one, any of you guys feel that?*
I'm Australian and the only part of the title that showed up in my subscription was "The Only Film Genre That Gets You to Root" lol
"Even Billy Crystal?"
Fave part
Until the psycho couple starting spawning offspring, then imagine how evil the kids will be!
America's Sweethearts? That's nobody's favorite romcom. It's expressly supposed to be about assholes.
Seriously. One of the worst movies I made the mistake of seeing in theaters.
What about the notebook. That's the only one I recall watching.
I don't recall there being any comedy in The Notebook.
jdprettynails I barely remember it so I probably just assumed it was a romcom.
I'm surprised they didn't mention High Fidelity, John Cusack is an absolute self centered asshole the entire movie, it's great btw
How has no one compared Katies outfit to Han Solos?
I like all Cracked content just as much as after hours!
That was a joke, like most content on this channel.
While i can't help but agree, let's keep the negativity out now that we actually got some after hours...
Most things with Dan in it is quality.
+shadowzeal so true
yay it the best
Thank you, for your valuable opinion, it will change this channel for the better.
Katie's new hair is great. Soren remains obnoxiously handsome.
I love Soren's grin after all the jizzum repeats.
07:57 "Ahhahaha teet!" Katie is so freakin' adorable!
make more after hours damnit
plz
PLEASE!!!
I think the guy in the pink shirt is the only on that eats in these videos :)
If they make it any more often the show will become stale and the episodes wont be as good or in depth. Just be happy that the show is so consistently good, do not fix that which is not broken.
+OLE SammyOLE it's fake
What about WALL-E.
The tale of a boy stranded in the wilderness, discovered by a girl, who basically falls into a coma. The boy takes care of the girl, until a point where she is kidnapped. He then goes to rescue her, and winds up saving a city from an evil mastermind.
Tarzan with robots...
He tries to instigate intimacy with said coma-girl on several occasions. Wall-e was the asexual version of Buck from Kill Bill.
Did anybody else notice that Michel said:Satan is in everything
Meira Goldberg ^satan is in every face
He's the best character in these videos
When i heard the plot of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days i thought they were gonna end up with terrible endings for the both of them for their horribleness
MagnetoDorito
I prefer to not watch it and assume that's what happens.
That movie is fun for its ridiculousness, but then they didn't know how to end it. "I'm super mad at you for using me for work even though I was only dating you for work!"
I ship Dan and Soren. Is that allowed?
Just about anything is allowed with shipping
+Mana Crack very true 😄
+Dorie Bixby not true. I'm in some fandoms that would hint me down and kill me if i supported certain ships.
Hopeless Enough But really, if you did support them, there are probably others who do too.
+Dorie Bixby
honestly how could you not?
dan has this adorable mopey charm about them and those arms
soren not really into him but he does have great body #BodyGoals
i can see it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
God, how much do I love Katie 😍
I don't know.
+YumLemmingKebabs enough to ruin a wedding
Her short hair is heavenly
more like Katie Madow
Esteban Montelongo Hey-o! (Although I like Rachel Maddow's "up-do" a bit more. Really suits her.)
From this comment section I learned that another man's diet and weight are everyone else's business and we should all get involved
The odd thing is, I think it's because they care...Swaim is just too likable.
Equality bitchez.
“Return To Me” is a romcom where the two main characters are decent people who unknowingly have a devastating complication in their relationship.
I spot Star in the back!!!
Was hoping someone else did too
It's like a weord TH-cam Easter egg I love it
I'm secretly in every youtube video.
+Starline Hodge rumoured to be in the post credits scene for table talk for your solo movie
I hope you're careful in the ones with exploding stuff.
But . . . but . . . but . . . French Kiss--! Kevin Kline kind of reforms when he thinks he got away with the jewel theft and they only ruined Charlie and Juliette's engagement by showing them the truth . . .
Okay, bad example.
The Sure Thing! Yeah! Okay, see, John Cusack DOESN'T sleep with Nicolette Sheridan and--wait, that only proves he's insane . . . but otherwise, no villainy . . . except for his trying to molest Daphne Zuniga at the beginning. And the whole using Daddy's credit card . . .
Okay, bad example.
Ooh! Electric Dreams! That's the ticket! All you have to do is ignore the part about the invasion of privacy by listening through the vents, and Miles not bothering to correct Madeline when she mentioned his musical instrument when he KNEW that he didn't have one . . . oh, and ignore the fact that Edgar is a psychopathic AI who terrorizes his owner and ends up committing phone fraud when he reverses the charges on the 100,000 volt phone call which enables him to escape into the world . . . oh, crap . . . Edgar is actually SKYNET!!!
REALLY bad example!
Class! Bad example!All right, you can't claim that they were villains in Addicted to Love when Meg Ryan spread rotten strawberry juice all over Tcheky Karyo's belongings even though she knew he was allergic and that it could kill hi--
Okay, never mind.
Hitch. HITCH. HITCH!!! You cannot paint Will Smith OR Eva Mendes as a villain in Hitch! That's it! it can't be done! It doesn't matter that Hitch is emotionally stunted and doesn't himself believe in what he's selling! That only makes him a fraud and a con man! And . . . and . . . okay, he's a con man, but his stuff . . . I mean, can you really be a fraud if your stuff works, even if you don't believe in . . . it . . .
Gaul dammit . . .
I will say that Hitch is actually a rom com where the people aren't villians, Hitch does believe in what he sells, he sells opurtunity, he sets people up and gives them advice to get them through dates, specifically with romance and not just sex in mind, because dating can be terrifying and go wrong, but getting your foot in the door can get you started
Hitch is about an expert that is slightly disillusioned about his field, getting involved himself and, after hiccups, finding happiness and learning more about said field of expertise.
Hitch is about a man trying to control relationships, not because he is evil, but because they are hard, and fail often, so he tries to help people start meaningful ones, or at least improve their odds, and in the course of teh film his own aibility to mangage a relationship is challenged, and he is forced to confront his own flaws and be more honest, not because his attempts to help people were wrong, but because life, and relationships aren't so simple and sometimes you need to take a chance to have any chance.
The woman (cant remember character, I think she was played by Rachel Dawson?) is worse but not unbeleivable, she takes a bunch of Hitch's gestures badly, because of mistakes on his part, and after he appologizes she respects the spirit they were given in, but her attempt to ruin Hitch (before she knew he was the same as the guy she was dating) was because a friend blamed him for a manipulative boyfriend (when If I remember correctly the man was not coached by hitch ever, and only mentioned him as "thanks Hitch" in the girlfriends hearing, the girlfriend (or Dawson) latched on to this but it was probably sarcastic, refering to how he either didn't need hitch to get that far or upset that he didn't get the coaching to get farther, any info he got from hitch was likely freely available advice from whatever advertising he had, rather than anything like advice from the man himself)... IN any case ?Dawson? sets out to ruiin Hitch instead of suppporting her friend or looking into the manipulative jerk who used her, turining a op ed piece of journalism into a vandetta and potential slander campain, only stopped because Hitch confronted her
If there was anything wrong with Hitch it was that it focused too much on the idea of men as the instigators and women as the recievers in a relationship. It puts all the pressure on men for a relationship to start at all, and makes women passive and helpless when the "wrong" kind of guy succeeds. Relationships need give and take Hitch shouldn't have felt that grand gestures were teh only way to "win" Dawson's attention, the film shows he was wrong, but only because those gestures weren't "honest" but his almost getting run over to see her was fine, as he gave his "hope you can fly speech". It flies because it is a romcom and because Hitch still has the tendency to go overboard but what really grinds my gears is that Dawson never apologizes, or aknowolges her faults at any point, including planing on ruining a man on the words of a jerk that just dumped her friend after manipulating her so he could sleep with her, and if it weren't for Hitch's tendency for grand gestures for them to have a big talk she might of gon on to permanently ruin him, and far more relationships than the one that hitch managed to help by actually talkin to the woman involved
Only one I can think about is either Sleepless in Seattle or When Harry Met Sally and I'm fairly sure you could point out something there.
ackbarfan5556 sleepless in Seattle? Meg Ryan becomes obsessed with Tom Hanks over the radio, stalks him and his child cross country, and becomes emotionally unavailable to her fiancé before she breaks up with him.
One of my faves to re-re-re-rewatch... Every moment here is gold.
Can we talk about how cute Dan is when Soren tells him his brain is doing just fine? Because the answer is very. Very cute.
The only film genre that does this? Have I been watching horror movies the wrong way all this time?
As far as I'm concerned, yes! Unless they fail to do their jobs to make the villain(s) come off as horrifying and genuinely evil and the protagonists and, at least most of, the victims sympathetic.
The protagonists are often so unsympathetic in those films.
U gonna badmouth Steve Buscemi, we gonna fight.
He was awesome in the Buddy Holiday movie.
1:00 I love Soran's expression here. It's like he's thinking, "This ought to be good!"
This theory actually make romcoms much more interesting
Me and a few friends are movie nerds,We often come back to and cite after hours vids for discussions to this day.
Same. This is like cliffnotes of the cinema convos I’ve had with friends
After Hours predicted YOU two years before it came out.
I was kind of hoping that they would talk about Mr and Mrs Smith.
I would like to see a Gilmore Girls after hours on how they really have a bad relationship in which Rory has way to much power over Lorelai ^^
In most rom-coms the entire romance seems to be based on a lie. And in the third act its revealed, the other person freaks out and takes them back anyways. I'd like to see one where they actually reject the liar, like a normal person would do.
A lie is one thing. What really irks me is when a rom-com romance is based around something deeply unethical, like in "The Proposal" where Sandra Bullock is a boss forces her assistant to act as her fiancé so she doesn't get deported, threatening to ruin the assistant's career if he doesn't play along. Or that one where Sandra Bullock pretends to be the fiancée of a man with whom she's never interacted before, only to fall for his brother instead while the first guy is in a coma.
Good lord, Sandra Bullock is worse than Julia Roberts when it comes to her rom-com characters...
"dermatology" iconic
I've been watching the s*** out of your videos. You all manage to be thought provoking without being offensive. The world needs more people like you 4.
The Holiday! It’s a double Rom-com where none of the primary characters are villains...
This was *_hilarious_*. Absolutely love _After Hours_.
Wish they'd mention _Time Traveler's Wife_, though. It's probably one of the few Rom-Com films I actually like and it'd be cool to hear them twist it around and present it as an "evil" movie :D
Ok apparently "Notting Hill" and "Love Actually" are the only normal rom coms lol
I love these after hours idk how much work/research you must do--assuming it's a ton--but they're so cute and well rehearsed/edited. They are so great
I always root for the bad guy, it's better that way, as your character wins most of the time except for the very end.
I haven't watched or even heard of 70 percent of these
I haven't heard of 100% of these. ^-^
clap. clap. clap. clap.
I've seen them all. sigh…
I do love 'You've Got Mail'.
You don't know movies, probably...
Not Jack Douglass they are all from like a decade ago at least
Have to re-watch this anytime the SNL sketch comes up on my feed.
THANK YOU for blowing the lid off a multi-million dollar racket: The Rom-Com~! (No, seriously.)
Also also, what about when Harry met Sally? That's a pretty good Rom Com, can't recall anyone being a terrible person in it too much.
Didn't actually watch the video huh?
+Brandon Binczak Did you? The Cracked Team didn't mention "When Harro Met Salma" this time around.
i love that movie soo much
Shit my bad, he said You've Got Mail. Which to be fair is pretty much the same movie.
Well, the guys and gals can never be friends is kinda jerky. But the plot is pretty harmless.
still miss this show and cast so much
OMG! I just realised The Graduate fits this genre perfectly.🤔
I keep wanting Michael to say "Malpractice makes perfect" every time I watch this video. It's just right there!
Holy shit! Swaim is bigger than a fucking house! The hell happened?!
dat boii been bulkin
all kinds of gains
all kiinds
The android got an upgrade.
+allthe banter lol. sounding like some HodgeTwins
Two things: I love Katie's hair! I want to cut mine just like that. Also, Dan is precious, adorable and dorky and I want to marry him.
I like the 'that's not kooky fun, that's evil' line and it's quite an effective one for getting across that you don't condone or feel good about a character's actions, even if you like the character and know it's exaggerated and/or for comedic reasons. (eg some of Amy's cruel heist tricks in Holt spying on people for the heist in B99 although the spying was more heist-like and less targeted/cruel in a sense than the therapist and coma tricks.)
I found this to be one of the funniest episodes they've done in a while. Still one of my favorite web minisode series to watch after all these years.
"The Wedding Singer" is the only RomCom I liked since I started paying attention to details. Because:
1. The guy the girl was with originally was a bad man from the beginning. Not just when we needed to be ok with him getting jilted. And
2. The girl was an absolute doormat, as opposed to some other movies that try to hide that fact it was a part of her character and she came to terms with how miserable the relationship (with original guy) would make her irregardless of another guy waiting for her.
I think she still needed the other guy there to leave the relationship though.
The look of general delight on Soren's face when jizzum is said... Priceless.
You guys are too funny, I always crack up every time I watch these things
Notting Hill. A very good rom com where no one is a physcopatg
Yeah, but that's from the UK and written by the guy who did Blackadder, more often they tend to stick to stuff from the States.
There's a huge power imbalance in that movie though.
She's a rich, powerful, famous film star, and he's just a nobody who owns half a niche bookshop.
When Harry Met Sally, there ya go.
I just watched all of the available After Hours videos. I probably can't watch movies or tv the same way again. Thanks you guys...
This is one of the best After Hours in ages! Carmen is killing it with the writing -and y'know just killing it in general. It's so great seeing them all be nice to Daniel for once. Gizzum!
Something borrowed has to be the most horrifying of romcoms. It’s literally about a woman having an affair with her best friend’s fiancée, and they to convince us that they were meant to be just because she didn’t tell her friend that she liked the guy and he was too chicken shit to break up with her.
All the while the movie makes the best friend look like a stereotypical shallow woman who drinks a lot and sleeps around to justify that the mousy main character is the hero of the story when really she’s a homewrecker.
The only person who calls them out on all this is John Krazinkski, and the poor guy gets hit in the nose for it.
A fantasy of mine is if you guys walk into the offices of BuzzFeed and Tarantino their organization.
I imagine that dan just goes home and stays up all night editing IMDB.
Soren's face at 2:31 is like "Wait, do I have lines in this episode? I must have."
The best thing on Cracked
It may not exactly be "romantic", but a comedy movie which definitely tells you to root for the bad guy, is Mrs. Doubtfire.
A couple gets divorced, and the (now ex) wife gets sole custody of their children.
The (now ex) husband has no visitation rights, which usually only happens when the ex who is denied custody, has a history of being extremely violent towards their ex-spouse, and/or children, or being mentally ill.
So he pretends to be a woman, and forges some papers in order to infiltrate his ex-wife's house (as the new nanny), so that he can stay in daily contact with the children whom the court has specifically ruled that he may not go anywhere NEAR.
He also attempts to eliminate her new boyfriend by poisoning him (he finds out that her new boyfriend is highly allergic to pepper; so he puts a large amount of it in his dinner; nearly killing him).
This is the plot of a HORROR movie!
Or he was a father who didn't have as much money as his ex to hire as good of lawyers got rail roaded in court who was bias against his transgenderisum and openly homosexual brother who I am sure he used as a charector witness. His depression and lack of emplyment consistency was also unfairly used against him. These things only got better for him at the end of the movie when he openly dressed as his female self Mrs.Doubtfire. He was never shown to be a threat to his children only a threat to what the courts deemed to be a worthy man/father. Also the Mom started dating her coworker awfully quick and became engaged even quicker, affair maybe? Either way Robin Williams was a great entertainer and most of his movies had darker tones to them if you looked past the funny voices and faces.
Also when that movie was made custody 85% of the time went to the woman.

Actually, when that movie was made, in the majority of divorces in America, which involved minors, both parents usually shared custody.
He didn't know he was allergic and tried to save him
That whole bit during the credits made me laugh more than the video itself
Aww thanks guys that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, love them rom- coms.
I love Katie's lipstick and nail colour
coming back to this many years later, but I can think of one movie that doesn't fit this: The Wedding Singer. Yeah, the Adam Sandler movie. Think about it, both Robbie and Julia are genuinely good people. Julia is basically just the sweetest thing in the world, and Robbie gives freaking piano lessons to old ladies for literal meatballs. Meanwhile, Glen is a cheating, emotionally neglectful, sexist sociopath who is only using Julia as a status symbol, and Linda is a gold-digging, manipulative bitch. The entire conflicts of the movie revolve around Robbie agonizing over whether or not to ruin a presumably happy relationship with the news that Glen is a dirtbag, or if he's just jealous because of his own feelings for Julia, and Julia coming to terms with the fact that Glen treats her like shit and she isn't happy with him. Even the _one_ time one of our protagonists is a jerk, he _immediately_ recognizes his fault in the issue and tries to fix things. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Adam Sandler made the perfect rom-com.
$5 bet with Jack over not getting fired every week; favorite joke of this episode hahaha
2024 here. Miss this crew. Small Beans isn't the same.
Is the waitress in the background Star from Sourcefed Nerd?
Yah.
Cool
holy shit.. Right before watching this video i was just looking at your work and following you on the socials. Weirdest coincidence.
Can I have your number?!
Robert Jay Dude,don't be creepy.
what about sleepless in Seattle? Joe vs. the Volcano?
Awesome Trilogy with You've got mail.
+Robert Davidson while You've Got Mail is about not that great people.... I'm not really seeing how the people in SiS or JvV are villainous.
Pretty Woman?
Kind of a big blindspot that they mentioned the incredibly forgettable You've Got Mail while omitting the classic it was inspired by with Sleepless in Seattle.
AegonSnow They aren't. I was just remarking on how the three films make a great trilogy about soul mates.
This maybe the best best one you guys have ever done.
“Bring it home, Katie!” I lost it!
Rocky is a romantic comedy that has good people that aren't villains.
YES! Someone else who gets this! Whenever someone asks me what my favorite Romance is, I say 'Rocky' and they *always* look at me like I'm an alien. Rocky is about two awkward, broken, but well-meaning people who discover they complete each other, with a subplot about boxing. He doesn't even care about who won the big fight. He just wants AADDRIIIAAAANNN.
+Jason Blalock Wow .... just wow that's a whole new way of thinking about it the movies just start turning into boxing and then soon he loses Adrian
I watched Rocky for the first time the other day and the first thing I said after watching it was 'That was a romance. What the hell?' I felt like I had been completely misled. Great film though
If you track Adrianne from the first rocky to the sequel, you'll notice that her appearance undergoes a drastic change. It's because before Rocky came along, she viewed herself as an unattractive loser, seen from the eyes of society and especially her brother paulie. But rocky viewed her as an angel, something precious to behold. Suddenly, she was wearing make-up, dressing nicer, and she even got rid of those nerdy glasses. She inadvertently began viewing herself through the eyes of Rocky who views her as the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.
Romance, yes. Absolutely. Comedy, no. Not at all.
You guys should make a video on how I met your mother
