I was in this movie with only one other person. I was walking out of the movie and this old lady stopped me, looked right into my eyes and said "son, I have cancer and it doesn't hurt as much as this movie" and walked out. This movie hurts people Brad.
boomzilla86 I know, he has among the best reviews and knock offs, so its great when he does anything with Brad or will later review something Brad saw in theaters earlier.
Movie producers still haven't grasped the fact that parody is a dead/rapidly dying subject matter in film. Unless you want to count The Cabin in the Woods as a parody instead of a meta film, there has not been a single well received parody film in years.
+MoonlitLycan I would counter by saying that while there have been no successes, that isn't because the GENRE is dead. I would instead propose that it is because terrible directors are using it as a dumping ground for terrible movies.
+FreedFenrir Which in turn would eventually lead to its utter destruction. The more terrible movies are pumped out, the more it hurts the genre and turns people away from it.
I believe Adam Sandler can still be funny, his 2 minute cameo in Top Five was funnier than anything he's done in years, and I think he's a good actor when he tries i.e Punch Drunk Love and Reign Over Me. Hopefully he just gets motivation because I miss him doing good stuff.
If it can cause another film that's *really* good to not make back its bucks because of its "popularity zeitgeist shit", then you have a "possible nominee for a raspberry..."
+Tareltonlives Is this a bad time to mention that Vampires Suck actually hit the mark more than it missed - it even toned down the out of nowhere celebrity appearances - and I liked it?
+Kaptain Kappa it literally isn't. You specified, black stereotypes" whilst he changed it to just "stereotypes". They are similar, pretty much the same, but not "literally" the same
I would like a 2-hour film of Charles Dance reading 50 Shades of Grey. I would pay full-price to see that in the theatre; just him sitting in a chair and reading the book. Or Walken, either one will do.
it just really depresses me that with as few black American film makers as we have, besides Spike Lee, the most prolific ones are Tyler Perry and Marlon Wayans -_-
Parodying Fifty Shades of Grey isn't hard, I can do it on the spot. "My God, I'm so pale, I must be the color of the KKK outfit" it wasn't funny but it's something anyone can do.
Man, this was a tough one on Sarah! Watch her during the first minute and the last 30 seconds. To me, that's a look that says, "Welp, Brad ain't gonna revenge-strangle himself, I guess."
Brad, have you seen Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth? It came out around the same time as Scary Movie with a lot of similarities. If so, what did you think of it compared to Scary Movie?
Hey Brad upload the Pulp Fiction midnight screening when you get a chance. That and the Reservoir Dogs review are my favorite videos of yours. I love hearing you guys talk about movies you actually enjoy.
I know it's probably just something from outside, but can we talk for a second about how at 34:41 it looks like there's blood on the window behind Brad?
I know that this is for a three year old video, but while watching some of your back titles, something hit me about this movie that begs to be pointed out: 50 Shades of Black is a parody of 50 Shades of Grey, which is based off of a fan fiction of Twilight, which itself is an unconscious parody of vampires. Thus, the film is a parody of an adaptation of a fan fiction of a parody.
+KamekAdvance Because Fifty Shades Of Grey is already like a parody, because it's impossible to take any of it serious. So they made a parody of a parody
Wow, i saw this thing last week in the sneak preview, i thought "just watch it, brad said it was bad, see how bad it is", i found some new levels of respect for brad after sitting through it, my god, it was just so damn awful...and Brad goes and watches these pieces of junk.
+Chris Newman I also liked the Haunted Houses, as well as Hell Baby, Tooken, and Superfast, but none of them are in the same levels as Naked Guns or Monty Python.
The line on the card is a line from a jay z song "I'm not a businessman, Im a business, man"...i enjoyed the movie but am still enjoying this review...dont hase to agree with the review as long as its presented well...cheers guys
Yeah it has been a long time, and I was still a kid back then, but remember the Wayans Bros show being pretty good. I also kinda enjoyed White Chicks and some parts of Little Man. And thats about it.
Is there any chance of making it a tabby two-fer by pairing 'Keanu' with seeing 'Nine Lives' wherein Kevin Spacey plays "Mr. FuzzyPants"? ......heehee :D
Really, the only Marlon Wayans parodybfilm I like is "Don't Be a Menace to South Central By Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" and that film was fucking dumb.
+PufferBluntman My quote: "He was good in The Ladykillers" and Requiem for a Dream, but one's by Darren Aronofsky and the other by The Coen Brothers, both way better than Marlon Wayans."
Stoned Gremlin Productions Ohhhh. Ok, sorry, I was watching a bit stoned and the way you composed that sentence made me confused, thanks for the explanation, cause I then googled "Requiem for a Dream by Coen Brothers" and I found this weird parody vimeo.com/66011108
S̶u̶b̶t̶l̶e̶ ̶I̶n̶s̶a̶n̶i̶t̶y̶ The mentioning of Coen Brothers after the Requiem is what confused me, and English is not my first language, and as I've mentioned I've been a bit high so it's a fair mistake that could've happen to anyone, sorry about that. I'm exited Brad actually replied to my comment though :)
+Stoned Gremlin Productions Requiem For A Dream was the first time Jennifer Connelly worked with director Darren Aronofsky. The second time was Noah. This explains why all the animals came on board the ark two by two except for the donkeys. They came on board ass to ass.
The "Business Man" thing is a reference to a Jay-Z line. Still not funny though. Also what were these 5 seconds Midnight Screenings? And where can I find them?
Why am I expecting a review of this by the Cinema Snob ? Like... As an addition to the sexual practices of Black people mentionned in Black is beautiful (Africanus Sexualis). :p
I watched that movie on Netflix a day ago. I cant say if it is the german sync that made it work for me or if I just genuinely found it funny, but I laughed my ass off. It isn't a good movie by all means, but damn was it weird. I suppose it would be pretty bad to see in cinema though - I think that is kinda the thing with these midnight reviews, every movie you say is bad would be terribly in cinema, I certainly like them on a small screen. They are still terrible movies, but I dont care if a comedy makes me laugh for the right or wrong reasons, if it makes me laugh, it did its job.
You know what might have made the stupid 'beating her over the ass with everything and her being bored by it' joke actually work, somewhat? (And this is based on this video, not the actual movie, because it sounds awful)--instead of having Not Dakota Johnson leave the dude because he wants to beat her ass and she doesn't like it, have her decide that he's not hardcore enough for her and he's boring. Ta-da! Her yawning while he hits her with a shovel works then! But that would require actual thought. And maybe a joke or two.
+Mr. GMAN's Channel Those are usually the best Brad reactions though. I used to be like "No more religion movies" as I am an Atheist who sees religion as a self serving slavery- but then I think "Holy shit there will be a Midnight Screenings on it at least, That almost makes it worth it"
We are getting "God Isn't Dead 2!", which according to the trailers is a parody of christian people fighting against the evil evolutionists, and they're ownership of the schools. (Sarcasm is being used if you can't tell already)
I laughed at the Epic movie when we see the parity boy cheat at the end of the first song. I'm not sure but I think everyone was looking at me. I couldn't help it, the joke was such an old cliche.
I was in this movie with only one other person. I was walking out of the movie and this old lady stopped me, looked right into my eyes and said "son, I have cancer and it doesn't hurt as much as this movie" and walked out. This movie hurts people Brad.
Why did you do this to yourself ?
There's almost been worse, United Passions had a theater where it only made 9$. (And world wide it made less than Jem and the Holograms)
Ryan McCarthy -never happened-
I suddenly have such great respect for this old woman that I've never met.
"But bless his heart, he's actually trying."
Laughed my ass off
+TheCyanideSmoker 'At least he tried' Phelous joke.
+CWDTrixie Not Phelous Joke, "Phelous quoting Gilbert Gottfried" Joke
boomzilla86 Remember, he's the best.
boomzilla86 I know, he has among the best reviews and knock offs, so its great when he does anything with Brad or will later review something Brad saw in theaters earlier.
When I think of the words "Fifty Shades of Black" I can't help but hear it in the trailer narrator voice for "My Baby is Black"
I love Sarah's 'not-having-any-of-this' face :D
From Sarah's initial reactions, I take it this is her equivalent of Violet seeing Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse?
Oh boy, Sarah's face in the opening. This is going to be a treat.. :)
YES, I agree with Sarah, please bring back the Midnight Screenings in 5 Seconds videos, Brad!
Five seconds in I can tell this is gonna be great.
+kool'thuzad I see you everywhere.
Clay3613 I watch a lot of people.
+yung venuz Stalker... lol
yung venuz
Oh my God. I just got the title. It's called 50 Shades of Black because the characters are black.
Mind blown.
Endless Noise I think the "joke" is that there's only one shade of black.
A joke would've been calling it One Shade of Black.
It's because the main guy's last name is Black.
10 seconds in and this is already one of my favorite Midnight Screenings.
Man, i had never seen Sarah this.....hopeless...
So this isn't a remake of Black Love.
+Michael Kuzmanovski fucking lol
Zero stars
no black love, zero stars
This review makes this movie simultaneously sound better and worse than it probably is.
Message to future Sarah: the movie was bad, and... GET YOUR ASS TO MARS
after this and the Show Dogs review, it had juat occurred to me what makes Sarahs and Daves marriage so strong, their mutual want to murder Brad

I wonder what you thought of Uncut Gems
This was a genuine movie released in theatres?
Yes. Much to the dismay of, well, everyone.
Fuck you, it's January.
+MarmaladeJacket Welcome to America
+MarmaladeJacket So was Norm of The North.
Flame of Udun
FUCK YOU, IT'S "YEAR"!
Does this count as a spinoff of Vampires Suck, then?
If it can cause another film that's *really* good to not make back its bucks because of its "popularity zeitgeist shit", then you have a "possible nominee for a raspberry..."
+Tareltonlives Is this a bad time to mention that Vampires Suck actually hit the mark more than it missed - it even toned down the out of nowhere celebrity appearances - and I liked it?
Vampires Suck, this, and Meet the Spartans are proof that Hollywood comedies can't even hit easy targets
Wasn't Vampires Suck made by those two guys who made Date movie, epic movie, etc?
Yes.
Marlon Wayans seems to just be Adam Sandler+black stereotypes, im not sure if that's better...
+Kaptain Kappa Wrong!!! It's Adam Sandler + Stereotype Jokes= Marlon Wayans
Justin An
thats literally exactly what i said...
+Kaptain Kappa it literally isn't. You specified, black stereotypes" whilst he changed it to just "stereotypes". They are similar, pretty much the same, but not "literally" the same
Adam Goodison
Marlon Wayans does 99% black stereotypes, it means the exact same thing as what i said
so Tyler Perry?
I would like a 2-hour film of Charles Dance reading 50 Shades of Grey. I would pay full-price to see that in the theatre; just him sitting in a chair and reading the book. Or Walken, either one will do.
FUTURE SARAH, go to 24 minutes in. ;)
Love this channel
it just really depresses me that with as few black American film makers as we have, besides Spike Lee, the most prolific ones are Tyler Perry and Marlon Wayans -_-
(Sees Sarah's reaction to open the video) Oh dear...
When you start off with laughter you know it's going to be a great review lol
those are the ones I love the most.
My parents actually knew the Wayans in the 80s and my mom is adamant that Damon is the only one worth a damn.
Keenan Ivory Wayans is worth a damn too.
I've been waiting for this for quite awhile now.
Fuck, I clicked on the wrong video!
They sound like they're at a confessional when they describe the scenes they laughed at.
Future Sarah sent me here!
Me too. Apparently Sarah is pregnant in this video and doesn't even know yet. That's funny.
I love how Sarah looks so defeated in this video
5:13-5:27 I crack up every single time I hear that. Best part of the whole review. Brad's laugh... I just die laughing every time.
I enjoy the banter between them :-D
Parodying Fifty Shades of Grey isn't hard, I can do it on the spot. "My God, I'm so pale, I must be the color of the KKK outfit" it wasn't funny but it's something anyone can do.
Man, this was a tough one on Sarah! Watch her during the first minute and the last 30 seconds. To me, that's a look that says, "Welp, Brad ain't gonna revenge-strangle himself, I guess."
Whenever I hear about these horrible spoofs all I think is..."I miss Leslie Nealson" T-T.
"I am an unapologetic cat person." So Brad, when are you watching and reviewing Felidae?
Brad, have you seen Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth? It came out around the same time as Scary Movie with a lot of similarities. If so, what did you think of it compared to Scary Movie?
Hey Brad upload the Pulp Fiction midnight screening when you get a chance. That and the Reservoir Dogs review are my favorite videos of yours. I love hearing you guys talk about movies you actually enjoy.
This is a thing? That exists? Oh lawdy.... (wait... wrong "comedian")
I know it's probably just something from outside, but can we talk for a second about how at 34:41 it looks like there's blood on the window behind Brad?
I needed to see this after I saw Brad's comment on Double Toasted!
I know that this is for a three year old video, but while watching some of your back titles, something hit me about this movie that begs to be pointed out: 50 Shades of Black is a parody of 50 Shades of Grey, which is based off of a fan fiction of Twilight, which itself is an unconscious parody of vampires. Thus, the film is a parody of an adaptation of a fan fiction of a parody.
How do you fuck up a Fifty Shades Of Grey parody?
+KamekAdvance parody Fifty Shades of Grey
Kaptain Kappa good point!
+KamekAdvance Because Fifty Shades Of Grey is already like a parody, because it's impossible to take any of it serious. So they made a parody of a parody
+Mr. GMAN's Channel I didn't think about it that way, that's very true.
+Mr. GMAN's Channel so like scary movie
You two explained pretty well why I'm feeling hopeful about Neighbors 2.
Miss Sarah.
Wow, i saw this thing last week in the sneak preview, i thought "just watch it, brad said it was bad, see how bad it is", i found some new levels of respect for brad after sitting through it, my god, it was just so damn awful...and Brad goes and watches these pieces of junk.
From the thumbnail all I could think was "Brad looks offended".
19:33 Look at Brad's face.
Have you ever just seen a title and became enraged understanding all too well what will commence.
13:36 So they took their cues from The Wild Wild World Of Batwoman...
+Gregory House Tom Servo: "END! END! END!"
+Gregory House Yoko, no!
You're great Brad but your sense of humor and mine vary greatly. lol
So you liked Fifty Shades of Black? :P
And Haunted House 1&2. lol My main sources of humor are dark comedies, dumb random stuff like this, stuff like Naked Gun and Monty Python.
+Chris Newman Monty Python and Naked Gun are not in the same ballpark than this human dogshit.
+Chris Newman I also liked the Haunted Houses, as well as Hell Baby, Tooken, and Superfast, but none of them are in the same levels as Naked Guns or Monty Python.
+Stoned Gremlin Productions lol
This is how every episode should open.
28:32 There's your "Midnight Screenings in 5 seconds"!
The line on the card is a line from a jay z song "I'm not a businessman, Im a business, man"...i enjoyed the movie but am still enjoying this review...dont hase to agree with the review as long as its presented well...cheers guys
It's sad to think that at one time Damon Wayans (sp) used to be in good stuff like In Living Color
Yeah it has been a long time, and I was still a kid back then, but remember the Wayans Bros show being pretty good. I also kinda enjoyed White Chicks and some parts of Little Man. And thats about it.
Is there any chance of making it a tabby two-fer by pairing
'Keanu' with seeing 'Nine Lives' wherein Kevin Spacey plays "Mr.
FuzzyPants"? ......heehee :D
kenau sounds funny as shit I love key Peele!
Really, the only Marlon Wayans parodybfilm I like is "Don't Be a Menace to South Central By Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" and that film was fucking dumb.
And Marlon didn't even write that one. Keenen did
I miss the Midnight Screenings in Five Seconds. I guess I'll make them myself
Sarah's hair, amazing every fucking time. Any refs in Chicago, hit me up!!
Wow. She looked pissed for the first three minutes. Anyway, does this mean that you won't check out the other upcoming Wayans movie, How to be Single?
Lmao wait I thought this was the review for the actual sequel
Man, I was so ready for this review to get 50 shades darker :(
dear Mr.Brad aka Snob may i do spoof of your reviewing style ?? because i love how so much of a snark you are
yes instant grin on the face and click
Anyone else get a Pureflix ad during this? 😂😂😂😂
Requiem for a Dream by Coen Brothers? What?
+PufferBluntman My quote: "He was good in The Ladykillers" and Requiem for a Dream, but one's by Darren Aronofsky and the other by The Coen Brothers, both way better than Marlon Wayans."
Stoned Gremlin Productions Ohhhh. Ok, sorry, I was watching a bit stoned and the way you composed that sentence made me confused, thanks for the explanation, cause I then googled "Requiem for a Dream by Coen Brothers" and I found this weird parody
vimeo.com/66011108
+PufferBluntman He listed the movies and directors respectively in the video though /:
S̶u̶b̶t̶l̶e̶ ̶I̶n̶s̶a̶n̶i̶t̶y̶ The mentioning of Coen Brothers after the Requiem is what confused me, and English is not my first language, and as I've mentioned I've been a bit high so it's a fair mistake that could've happen to anyone, sorry about that.

+Stoned Gremlin Productions Requiem For A Dream was the first time Jennifer Connelly worked with director Darren Aronofsky. The second time was Noah. This explains why all the animals came on board the ark two by two except for the donkeys. They came on board ass to ass.
I should watch the double toasted review of this later
Wow. Did Sarah turn into Angry Jake for this movie?
Think all of the "You stink" stuff might have been a (unusually) subtle War Room reference?
I doubt it - the Wayans family doesn't do subtle
The "Business Man" thing is a reference to a Jay-Z line. Still not funny though.
Also what were these 5 seconds Midnight Screenings? And where can I find them?
"it's a running joke that he smoked crack" cut!
that kim k thing was fall of 2014
Is Sarah single? She's so freaking adorable.
Does Sarah have a Twitter?
@boxcar_sarah
box-car-sar-ah, got starrrrs in your eyyyyes
Just remember to send her the moment at 24:25 since I just saw the Bad Santa 2 video, and it seems past Sarah has a message for present/future Sarah.
Hey, Brad, is this movie so bad it's worthy a Cinema Snob?
Maybe. He grunted like the Snob. I always love that. 😀 lol
What's the name of the cute cat movie?
+'blaa6' Green Thunder Keanu.
Armageddon3035 Thanks. Can't wait to see it.
i miss sarah
I bet I could edit this into a better movie. SEND ME THE DAILIES
Why am I expecting a review of this by the Cinema Snob ? Like... As an addition to the sexual practices of Black people mentionned in Black is beautiful (Africanus Sexualis). :p

But that would require actual thought. And maybe a joke or two.
When they were discussing the parts they thought would have been "funny", it sounds like they were at an AA meeting.
The part I thought was genuinely funny was when Wayans popped out of Anastasia's hamper.
sorry that's strange magic not epic I always getting those two mixed up.
You wanted to see The Hateful 8, there you have it Brad: The Hateful 9th
0:42
Sarah looks like she's going to punch someone.
What's even worse is that "50 Shades of Grey" deserves to be made fun of. To bad Marlon Wayans is pretty shitty at satire.
I actually liked this movie
.. I'm the only one to ever say this...
Hopefully the religious movies aren't as many nor as painful as last year... But one can only hope.
+Mr. GMAN's Channel
God's not Dead 2, April 1, 2016. At least it has the 2 and not some stupid subtitle?
+Runtripfall God's Still Not Dead: Back 2 the Hood
+Mr. GMAN's Channel I'm going to need religion of more movies like this come out.
+Mr. GMAN's Channel Those are usually the best Brad reactions though.
I used to be like "No more religion movies" as I am an Atheist who sees religion as a self serving slavery- but then I think "Holy shit there will be a Midnight Screenings on it at least, That almost makes it worth it"
We are getting "God Isn't Dead 2!", which according to the trailers is a parody of christian people fighting against the evil evolutionists, and they're ownership of the schools. (Sarcasm is being used if you can't tell already)
Jane got a gun and Finest Hours. Finest Hours is good.
I laughed at the Epic movie when we see the parity boy cheat at the end of the first song. I'm not sure but I think everyone was looking at me. I couldn't help it, the joke was such an old cliche.
Did someone fart at 19:33? Brad looks so disgusted, it made my night.
Am I the only one here who rented this On Demand? Am I the only one who watches movies like FSoB, Spy (Unrated 2014), and other movies On Demand?
I need answers m8's.
So... did you like it?
Marlon Wayan's interview about this movie on The Daily Show was really weird.
And violated causality.
Oh, I forgot Jon Stewart was replaced.
I really want to see Keanu.
The Wayans Brothers!
Proving that black people can say stupid racist jokes too!
