Andie MacDowell might've had the strangest typecasting of all time. If you're having a hard time placing her, queue up any romantic movie from the '90s that featured a mystical male protagonist, and she's likely the co-star.

Spending the 90s lying to Andie MacDowell allowed us to see how horrible we were and ultimately let us become better people today. *Andie MacDowell was duped for our sins.*
debatable
Michael Swaim and the gang have a new channel called small beans
And she was dubbed
Did we see that?
Did we become better people?
I could listen to Daniel O'Brien ramble about vaguely related pop culture stuff for hours, Cracked. Literally hours.
And thankful for Alzheimer’s I can watch over and over
Check out Quick Question with Soren and Daniel if you haven't, it's great.
@@ibfreely8952 Oh, I have, and it is! (I second this recommendation for anyone who comes across this comment.)
@@la_arana_discoteca Awesome!
"...90% of women in Punxatawney between 18 and 84."
And one dude when he was bored. Don't forget the dude.
Wait, what? I've seen that movie again pretty recently and I totally don't remember the dude.
I thought you were joking but it turns out to be true.
@daniel johnson Yeah, and it's totally not canon. The play is essentially fan fiction.
@daniel johnson And Ramis wasn't involved at all. Even if he was involved, it's at best revisionist and adds a bunch of shit that wasn't in the film, having come out 23 years later. This entire discussion revolves around the movie, and it's not even remotely implied that Phil is bisexual. The story was complete with the end of the movie, and the musical is an adaptation, not a continuation. Nothing against the musical, other than my general distaste for musicals, but this video is about the movie.
It's not like he's a historical figure we're learning more about, he's a fictional character, and his arc was completed in 1993.
@daniel johnson Fair enough, that's a much more fair take than O'Brien had in the video.
This was a great video about Groundhog Day and magic in movies that did not, in any way, ignore or be a dick to Andie McDowell. 10/10, I love Groundhog Day
False accusations against Bill Murray character.
Growing up in the 90's I just mashed Andie MacDowell with Minnie Driver and Julia Louis Dreyfus.
My head is spinning realizing they were 3 different people.
IKMNification 😂😂😂
MacDowell and Dreyfus could easily be cast as siblings in a film with absolutely no effort needed to suspend disbelief.
Add Maria Elizabeth Mastrantoni
"We're still gonna make the same stuff, no matter what." Ouch.
I love you Dan and think you're a genius, so obviously you didn't actually miss that the entire lemon thing was a play on the expression: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade"
Thank you!
Holy shit I've watched this vid three (or more) times and just came across your comment and that just blew my mind. I totally didn't catch that
But why did the two supposedly normal humans eat lemons like aliens?
It's my Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder fix!
You gotta get that Pop Culture into the vein!!
At least the 90's employed Andi Macdowell
Savage! XD
Derek McCumber she’s actually pretty decent watch Short Cuts and Sex,lies, and Videotapes
I’m with Derek: her acting is mediocre at best. And yes, I’ve seen “sex, lies, and videotape” a few times. She makes a better model (what she did before acting) than she does an actress; I’ve seen some of her fashion pics.
OMG PLEASE do a groundhogs day episode!!!
+1 to this idea.
We vote for these, right? this is a democracy, right?
Do it in the excessive version with Soren and Maggie!
I'd rather he do a GROUNDHOG DAY episode, because then he'd be talking about the movie (or the holiday, since neither one has an S in it).
Yes. Yes and Yes
Absolutely!
It's because the 90s couldn't get Madelyn Stowe to fall for any of it.
Fuff Mcduffin -> Yes!!! Now we are up to 4 similar women of that run of 1980s/1990s movies because I have another thick/wavy haired 90s brunette to add:
Andie McDowell
Madeline Stowe
Mary Steenburgen*
Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio
(*although I personally could Never confuse her with the others)
I wouldn’t include Steenburgen, but the other three DO look a lot alike, especially Stowe and MacDowell.
I clicked this getting confused between Andie Macdowell and Malcolm McDowell expecting a explanation of why he was the bad guy so often during the 90s
connla I clicked this and got confused between Andie MacDowell and Roddy McDowall expecting an explanation of why he was in so many ape movies.
I clicked this and got confused between Andie McDowell and Graeme McDowell expecting an explanation of the intricate nature of professional golfing.
connla plus he was married to the aforementioned Mary Sternburgen
IT IS A CONSPIRACY!! The universe is trying to make me want to have sex with villians. Mmmmm... Malcolm
This is my favorite series on youtube. now that you dont have a boss, would you please do OPCD more often than once a month. . . like once a day would be phenomenal
This is a dead channel.
I remember while watching John Travolta in Michael that he would never be able to make a movie that was worse. Wow, that idea did not age well.
But what about Hudson Hawk!? She's confident and sly in that movie, and does far more duping than getting duped upon.
We can all agree. all involved in that movie got "duped" in to making it... ;)
My 12 year old self still likes that movie.
good call, she did dupe Bruce Willy into thinking she'd play Nintendo with him. Now I must go and talk to the dolphins
Doesn't fit the narrative. Did you think anything Cracked does is based on actual unbiased observations? OPCD is hella entertaining, at least.
it isn't necessary to include the few outliers that don't fit the narrative because the premise doesn't require that all incidents of her movies fit the statement, just that a 'disturbing' number of them do. It isn't the presentation of a scientific theory, where all available evidence has to fit. It's just a statement of "Wow, this happened a lot, didn't it?"
"Put a gun to my head, nothing . Put two guns to my head, everything!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who the hell eats lemons?
Maybe that was the point - showing all those wrong ways to eat a lemon, then never resolving it must mean that there's no right way because if you just straight up eat lemons you're an ass hole lol.
My dad eats lemons with salt like that.
J. L. then call me an asshole cause lemons are fucking awesome
I thought it was a visual gag. 'When life gives you lemons...' they both show the diffirent way's to go with life/eat the lemon. The first just straight-up eats it and the next cut's it in halve and pours salt on it (reminded me of a shot tequilla). The Andie Macdowall character even points out 'That's how *you* eat a lemon'. Michael or the Archangel denies the whole lemon, and says you don't need the lemon; 'All you need is love'. It's not what life gives you, it's what you do with it. However, and I find this personally hilarious, Michael is the only one who made 'lemonade'. By sqeezing the lemon in water and adding sugar he made lemonade. So 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade'.
keukenkastje05 I am now wiser for having read this.
I occasionally eat lemons and I just put sugar on it like a strawberry and it tastes like lemonade.
The editing/video insets in this were perfect. Whoever did that DID WORK. LOTS OF IT. Great job.
"Sex icon William Hurt."
Those are ... words.
Lemon + sugar + water = lemonade
One more thing: one of the things I really like that the musical improves over the movie is that it does not romanticize Phil's initial pursuit of Rita at all or pretend that he's genuinely in love with her at that point and shows it to be as gross and creepy as it really is and our sympathies lie fully with Rita. And when he does start to really care about her and appreciate the way she sees the world, he pretty much leaves her alone from that point on and doesn't push for anything. By the end, he's only interested in making her and other people happy and not for any personal gain. And when they do get together, Rita is entirely the one to initiate it. And Phil isn't making grandiose declarations of love or ice sculptures of her face, he's just enjoying this moment with her without trying to control it.
Granted, there is still the problem of her not knowing the real him or about his inexcusable behavior towards her from before, but I think he respects her enough at that point to tell her the truth about how he came to be the person he is. I don't know how well that conversation would go for him, but at any rate he's done having it be all about him and wouldn't want to feel like he's taking advantage of her and building a relationship on a lie.
@@4dultw1thj0b it's either sit on the white lie or have her leave him and never speak to him again! Some lies are for the best.
I thought the scene was saying, "When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade".
OPCD is still my favorite thing from Cracked. Never stop!!
It's pretty obvious that Andie MacDowell is so amazing and everyone wants her that it's worth going all out with the magic, weird temporal abuse, and scams to get with her.
Was that a reference to the groundhog day musical? I may have just fallen a little bit more in love with DOB
Katherine Thorne If I had my time again!!!
Yay you didn't stop Pop Culture videos!! Thank you!!
Daniel I dont think ill ever tire of these, max kudos to your comedic style and delivery!
Huh... so how is Jack's search for the real killer? I think Mr. The Clam is really taking care of business on the pod side, and these recent episodes of OPC have been killing it. Seriously great work folks, I appreciate it.
I miss these
FINALLY! These are waaay better than the hour long discussions, imo. Glad to see you back dude
Thanks! Love this! 😁
Lemon is good by itself but some salt or sugar or maybe some chile. Just bite out the meat of a wedge. Good stuff.
"600 more days"
It's estimated that he spent somewhere around 35 years reliving the day.
600 days is less than 2 years...?
This was a great episode :D
Daniel O'Brien, that was a great video! So many small brilliant bits. "This...purple...episode(?) explores...". From the classification of Andie MacDowell's specific brand of type-casting, to your insights into the necessary assumptions required to believe and feel good about what happens to her characters in the resolution of those movies, it was all on point and very smart. The logic was excellent, and I really appreciated the clarification about playing by the internal rules of the movie in order to advocate for true love winning the day. Also the food tangent while addressing her character-arch in Michael was also a really funny touch. What does this mean "Gun to my head, nothing. Two guns to my head, everything." Really nice. Finally with, Magic Mike and her role in that movie as an "outlier the on the bell curve" was just good due diligence when talking about her career as an actress, and then you managed to creating a plausible resolution for said career-arch, also very nice. The Monday bit at the end, perfect. With the density of this video, that dynamic of being aware of the medium. Thanks for all your work, I have always enjoy your videos. I do also enjoy OCPD, even though it is a shift of format. Have a great week Daniel!
2:04 lyrics directly from the musical, "If I Had My Time Again". You all should give it a listen if you can.
I dont care how old the subject is, Daniel could talk about his sock fluff texture for 10 minutes and still make it interesting 😊
Incredible episode. Subscribed.
Loved this
Absolutely do a Groundhog Day episode! On that note, I want to add that Phil Connors most definitely didn't rape anyone. That Rita is a barrier he can't cross and that can't be manipulated is the motivation for him to actually become a better person. If you think too much about it, that's not great either, but it's a lot better than rape.
Please my friend, just go ahead and do a part 2 if you've got more
5:43 It must have been a common term for scrambled eggs beginning in 1985 with the movie "The Stuff". In one scene a mother tells her son, "I'll scramble a few over easy for you."
Great video!!
the right way to eat a lemon is to cut open the lemon and use it as a source to power your interdimensional ship to reach our world where you dont bite into lemons >>
Nicholas Polkey you dont eat lemons, huma-i mean...Nick?
Where did Obsessive Pop Culture Discussion go to?
Got cancelled
So much amazing Cracked content dies quietly before its time :(
I really enjoyed listening to it. I'm disappointed it's gone
Wait.... but it's here....?
Tristan Neal I think we mean the one with Soren, Daniel, and Maggie
Never stop making these videos DOB
I love these so much
Groundhog Day left Broadway on Sunday... 😢
(Sweet ref tho, please do a Groundhog Day ep about his body count, he started 700 fights)
If only this was an hour long featuring soren and maggie :(
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck THAT
No thanks...
Featuring two completely random co-hosts. It just so happens RNGesus keeps picking Bowie Mae Fish.
That's a CRAZY IDEA!!!
No, sir. That's what After Hours is for. Let Dan be the man.
amazing! god i love this show
Daniel, you guys need to start doing these more often! I'm starting to get sick of rewatching the same 39 episodes lol
When I first this video's title, I thought finally! Someone's going to make a video about how annoying it was that every half-assed critic in the 90s thought Andie MacDowell couldn't act and would tell anyone who would listen at every opportunity. I spent a good chunk of that decade being frustrated by the inability of seemingly the entire world to realise how freaking adorable and adequately talented she was. This video was only slightly disappointing.
I have always loved Andy McDowell, I think she is a great actress and a beautiful woman.
Literally the only guy who could make me care about this topic. You're great Daniel.
You actually threw in a quote from the Groundhog Day musical. You, sir, are a mensch!
Am I just high or is that "lemon" an orange?
It's an orange for sure!
I am very high though
Yo, man where is excessive pop culture discussion? I have missed you fools.
Got cancelled
espurious I got the sad news already. Although I literally don't understand how an internet show gets cancelled. It's on the internet like there are no ratings or lack of views.
That happened because Dan got busy or didn't want to do it anymore. I would have watched it with Maggie and Soren or just Maggie. I really liked it. I am just bummed.
Rachel Frumkin There are ratings though - if a Cracked show doesn't get enough views and as an extension make enough money then they can't justify continuing to invest time and money into the series. Cracked may be online but it is still a business with multiple employees to pay and bills to pay. It's why certain series never got past a few episodes- there wasn't enough interest to keep them going.
HarrietTwelveThree you are the fun killer in your group of friends aren't you. That or you work for the ratings system. So boo on you.
Sorry, I am never rude to people on comments it's not personal I just liked the show. I apologize and it was all meant in jest.
Rachel Frumkin You said you didn't understand how can internet show got cancelled so I tried to explain. Being helpful when it wasn't wanted I guess. I wasn't saying the show should or should not have been cancelled. (I am aware your reply was in jest but mostly confused how explaining made me a fun killer...guess it reads with a tone I didn't intend...)
thank you for appreciating the art that is groundhog day the musical. RIP 2017-2017, you will not be forgotten.
This was great! Groundhog Day episode though? Please make!
I feel this video is truer to the realities of life with OPCD. Vearing off track, random asides, starting other conversations in the middle of other conversations. #TheStrugleIsReal
Ian Albert --> But is it more OCD or ADHD? 'Cause it feels awful ADD of him to be so unable to keep focus!
Best Cracked series ever!
This was off the rails, just like I like it. Great episode.
This is great and all but what happened to the Obsessive Pop Culture Discussion?
Got cancelled
I'm sorry I kind of got lost with the whole rape in groundhogs day bit.
This was amazing. I forever want more loose cannon, unsupervised OPCD.
I love you for focusing so hard on the eggs.
If jack's gone, who's running cracked?
yeah i wanna know too. does this mean no more Spit Take? what's happening over there??
The Haunted Shopping Cart there's probably not gonna be anymore spit take but they've uploaded more and better content (some news, double after hours, people watching, the end of those goddamn typewriter videos) since, so it's not so bad
agreed, i definitely love a lot about this channel including Cody's Some News. Jack will be missed but i'll take one O'brien over none
Bailey Alexis Snow Nerd millennials.
He is running a show fow stuff you should knows comedy department
Why the hell would you not mention that it's an OPD episode in the title? Almost didn't click on this.
Saku Satola I guess the large text in the thumbnail wasn't informative enough?
PoppinBubbles Well I didn't see it so I guess not.
As someone grew up in Punxsutawney, I would LOVE an episode about Groundhog day.
Wheres this months opcd ive been checking every other day this month even though i have notifications on for you guys 😓
The suggestion that Phil in Groundhog Day definitely raped someone despite this not being established in the film because you (or the writer of this) think that that's what anyone with magic powers would do makes me highly suspicious of you (or the writer of this).
Yeah, not everyone is interested in raping people. Similar to Christians saying 'why not just steal/murder/rape if there is no God' - these are things most people don't want to do
Phil may have been a shitty and manipulative and entitled dude, but I definitely think he still had a conscience and would not have sunk that low. It takes more than just lust to do something like that and I think, as self-centered as Phil is, he doesn't actively wish to hurt people. And someone hitting their breaking point and becoming a danger to themself doesn't make them inherently more likely to be a danger to others.
I was starting to think I was the only one. Who rapes cause of extra time?!? Whoever wrote this is fut up
I mean, there are certainly people who are capable of doing horrible things as long they know they won't face consequences for them, but while Phil does spend a lot of time screwing around and being an asshole, I don't think that's the kind of person he is at his core.
I don't think the point is supposed to be that _anyone_ would do it. It's that that character specifically would, given that he's totally willing to use his powers to manipulate women into sex.
Im surprised that he didn't do a Gremlin episode cuz now he dont have a boss
Bring back the discussion!!!
Good job quoting the groundhog day musical, someone should make a Multiplicity musical
HAHAHAHAHAHAH 90'S
Saying he probably raped her was an unfair attack on his character and clearly not a part of the movie's cannon. Sure he did some very sleazy and very selfish things but he is clearly seen being slapped and/or walking out when his advances are rebuked. I insist on an apology as rape is one of if not the worst things you can do to someone hence accusing someone of such is pretty friggen low IMO
you had me at' luke's diner' mug
Can't wait for that Groundhogs Day video
Just because a man can commit rape without facing legal consequences does not mean the man does commit the rape. NOT ALL MEN ARE RAPISTS. Unless what Mr. O'Brien is suggesting is that he would rape Andy-whatshername under these circumstances, which I now believe must be true.
Try listening to the reasons again
You're correct, not all men are rapists, but in the movie Bill Murray's character does A LOT of illegal things including murder and his ultimate goal is to have Andie MacDowell sleep with him (and be in love with him.. I guess), so given that he's willing to do those awful things is it that big of a jump?... especially, given the circumstances, that whatever he does each day is forgotten the next.
Sam Walker --> who exactly does he straight up murder???
Sam Walker Yeah, I'm having trouble remembering where he directly murdered someone. I know he had some suicide attempts as well as he stole money, but that's still a far ways away from the horrible act of rape.
There is an Intelligence Squared debate on the topic of something like "Does Science Disprove Religion." During the audience question portion, Andie MacDowell is apparently there and asks the science side a question something to the effect of "How you can not believe in God because roses exist and are beautiful?"
Oh my...
Yes, you should do a _Groundhog Day_ episode. I love that movie, and the fridge horror that kicks in after awhile just makes it all the more wonderfully insane.
I just can't stop watching
Did... Did you just equate depression driven suicide and groundhog theft to rape? That isn't cool.
Also, to be clear: yes, Phil was a sleaze bag throughout a lot of the movie and having sex with people under false pretences as analogous to rape is a valid conversation. However 'I almost definitely sexually assaulted her at some point, right? You'd assume so if I killed myself multiple times, and stole a groundhog, and [hyperbole about knowingly letting people die that didn't happen]' isn't it.
No, he's saying that given his mental state was so extreme that he actively murdered people, assaulted people, caused multiple deaths directly or indirectly and actively allowed deaths that could have been prevented, then it would not be particularly out of character (at that point) to commit sexual assault. The depression-driven-suicide was mentioned to remind people just how badly damaged his psyche was at that point in the timeline/movie. (The hyperbole bit is a different issue, I agree with you on that one. I don't think that sexual assault definitely happened, he's reaching there.)
I can't think of an instance where he actively allowed deaths, there is the old man who he initially ignores as an example of everyday hubris and mans inhumanity to man, later tries to save but eventually realises he cannot in a realisation that he is not omnipotent (which I can't help seeing as a deference to the religious audience share), other than that nothing. He definitely didn't murder anyone. But mainly I'll admit I'm troubled because there is still a subsumed association between mental health issues and the worst of human behaviour here which is out of character for Cracked, Daniel usually does better.
That is to say... I'm not angry, just disappointed. :/
uhoh. someone's delicate feelings are hurt.
the 90s also decided she should be an actress when the poor thing cant act
I was just about to say this.
Disagree by default of conjecture based on type-casting. I've not seen her do anything but play the same character. Which is arguably telling in a lot of cases (like Reese Witherspoon, Zooey Deschanel, etc.), but she was never terrible.
GASP!!... SINNER!
jk. She's just too cute and harmless to call out
unstoppableExodia-Because she met a requirement of rom-com movies where the female lead has to be good looking, but not extremely hot as to threaten the female viewers of the movie. Think of every even moderately successful (from a money making perspective) rom-com and who the lead female character was played by. They are all good looking but not extremely hot. Women instinctively hate extremely hot women because the hot woman will snatch up the best men. The good-looking woman lead in a rom-com is a surrogate for the females watching the movie, so they have to identify with the lead and think "If she can get the super-hunk guy, why can't I?" Andie MacDowell is in the sweet spot of being good looking without alienating the female target audience.
This is also why men can't stand rom-coms. They think the guy is settling.
+Chuck Hoyle woah that is quite the breakdown of the mechanics of the rom-com. That also explains why Meg Ryan ruled the rom-com genre for a while.
By far the best comedian on this channel 😂😂😂 good for her!!
A really long deep dive into everything about groundhogs day with Daniel would be amazing.
Groundhog Day episode PLEASE! That would be amazing.
How I miss you guys!!
You need to do the groundhog day like right away! I love hearing all this obsessive stuff about a classic movie I love :)
I'm so excited for OPCD
I didn't expect the lack of supervision to become a series arc.
Really miss this channel
now i want a OPC groundhog day episode
"Using my time powers to rape is still just extra-steps rape"
Wow, you weren't joking about there being no oversight anymore 😂
I love the sidetrack food bit.
Daniel's brilliant! And, yes, we SHOULD have a show just about Groundhog Day.
Yeeeeeaaaaaay!!!! I liked this before I even watched it. Bring Back Discussion!!!!!! Soren and Maggie Need Help.
Also... GroundHog Day is awesome. Why did you try to make it weird... lol
Also Also... An Update on Multiplicity The Musical Please. 🤘
Aw... no derision of the "dumb fucking TH-cam bell?" My world crumbles!
Yay, it's back.
