“I’m controversial” is honestly a great way to say you’re gay 😂
Benji agrees! 😂
Omg I'm so glad Rizzo didn't know the ending, his surprise/happiness was so wholesome 😊 (his looks of shock at the jokes that haven't aged well were priceless tho 😂)
I friggin LOVED that ending
They don’t make movies like this anymore. Bring it on, Mean Girls, White Chicks.. 2000’s was the epitome of fun movies
Such well done movies!
Love randomly seeing Chu in a comment section
Yes, and the hot chick😂
Oh now I want a collab 🥹
@@zazalula9064wait… your mind
I feel like this audition scene also inspired the auditions in High School Musical, down to someone randomly dancing ballet.
Like don’t these high schoolers know how to read audition pamphlets? They’re looking for CHEERleaders lol
Fun Fact! The chant “Brrr its cold in here” does not originate from bring it on. It was a common cheer amongst predominantly black schools in the 80’s. The first film it was introduced in was Spike Lee’s School Daze 1988 and it was at the time a traditional chant in real life of the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha (historically black fraternity) they are known as the Ice cold brothers and they would do this chant and spike lee gave them a platform in their movie!
Oh that’s awesome! At least they still had a black school “invent” it in this film!
The original cheer was simpler than what’s in the movie. It was basically:
It’s hot in here (clap, clap)
It’s hot in here (clap, clap)
There must be a (mascot name) in the atmosphere.
I went to high school in southern VA and so many cheers were taught by Winston Salem State cheerleaders at their camps that I always assumed it originated there. But it could have come from anywhere and gotten recycled through the HBCU cheer squads down to high school squads during camps.
remember when people tried to say competitive cheerleading isn't a sport? the 90s were so wild
Crazy
2000s
I felt exactly how Rizzo did seeing that cut to the little girl throwing hands, that’s HYSTERICAL
God that part is SO fucking funny
I love that they didn’t try to force a fake friendship between Torrence and Isis. They easily could’ve made the Clovers seem like assholes for not wanting to be “friends” - but once Torrence heard Isis, and accepted that she couldn’t deflect blame or pay her way out of their guilt, they actually showed that they were sorry by changing (competing honestly).
God what a great dynamic
Well if we are going to be real here the clovers were pretty racist. I don't know if I would even want Torrence to be friends with them. They are allowed to be mad at the red head but they were taking out their anger on Torrence and being pretty racist.
@@paige8453 I’m not deleting THIS comment but we’re not going to engage in the reverse racism debate. If you want to educate yourself or others, feel free to do so in an environment suited for that. This is a TH-cam comment section for a 2000s comedy. The Pink Popcast does not agree that the Clovers are “racist” - only protective of themselves against YEARS of systemic abuse and appropriation at the hands of the Torros, the Cheerleading division and ESPN. Thank you!
@@PinkPopcast I'm not fighting for reverse racism because there is no such thing. Please read the actual definition in the dictionary instead of relying on social media. Their anger was justified but not the racism. I thought yall were smart enough to not justify racism but I guess not. That's really disappointing.
@@paige8453 They respected each other in the end. The Torros learned to not appropriate and steal black culture and benefit from it while silencing black voices - and the Clovers learned to appreciate the allyship of the Torros and respect them for their talent and for learning from their mistakes.
You’re so busy judging fake characters for doing exactly what a story should do (have them experience character arcs) that you’re not able to see what the film was able to accomplish: bringing us closer together. That’s disappointing.
The first Bring It On is just so iconic!🙌
Yes!!🙌
BENJI DID NOT PAUSE TO BREATHE TO DO A SINGALONG.
(And Rizzo turned his head like he thought he saw something in a horror movie)
It’s the 90s!!!
Hey, I’ve seen you in another movie commentary channels comments lol
@@leena_asim Hello! Nice to see you here
When I was a kid I would nonstop watch the Beethoven movies and my dad was sick and tired of that dog. He forced me to watch Bring It On so he could watch cute cheerleaders. Soon he realized that was a mistake because I started watching this movie nonstop.
One of my dads favorite stories is that we were alone in the bedroom together watching Bring It On and the entire time I was doing the cheers with the movie. When my mom came to check on us my dad told me to show my mom how I had been mimicking the tv. I turned, looked at the tv, looked back at my mom, and flipped her off, because it was at the scene where Missy flips Cliff off.
😂😂😂 your dad should have been more careful with what he wanted you to mimick
Wait why is Rizzo’s analogy about how if this movie grew up it would be a good person so spot on?? Such a unique and great way to verbalize that. Also I understand people don’t like Bring it on again aka the second film but I feel it’s so underrated and *whispers* probably the second best in the franchise. The cheerleading itself is bad yes, but the comedy is there! It’s way less cringey than any of the others😭
Aww thank you! Honestly, I’m open to watching ALL the Bring It Ons - including “Again” - even if Benji is biased 😅
I haven't watched this movie in years but use to watch it a lot when it first came out when I was 8. Now watching their reaction to it it is honestly crazy the things that some of them said in the movie. A lot of things I didn't even understand back then. It's definitely a movie of it's time and one that a lot of the dialogue has stuck with me like the ones Benji was quoting. I think I only watched the second one once when it first came out but honestly can't remember much about it. If I recall it didn't seem to have as many iconic moments like this one did but I wouldn't mind seeing their commentary on it.
always pissed me off how Tor talked to the Clovers at the start, I know it came from a place of kindness but it just sounded tone deaf."You guys are really good🥺" of course they know that, the trophies they've seen you win on national tv prove they're great. And then she still used the choreography and moves even after she knew about the stolen moves. If she wanted to do good on them she should have actually talked to the judges or the person in charge and confessed what happened
Shiii true lol
“1,2, down, up” I DIEDDDD, we love the cheer stunt count😂
🙌🏽🙌🏽
"Bring it on: All or Nothing" is so underrated in my opinion. I love the cast in that one. There's definitely a lot of parts that didn't age well but I still love it. I really hope you watch it! ❤
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
i was looking for this comment!!
Benji's mini gaslighting with the ending was amazing, I was 😭
Lmaooo I’m glad I was able to help him be surprised in the end
Finally, something to soothe my soul as I lay dying from period cramps
🥺🥺🥺
omg same 🥺
RIP 😢
Omg same
Benji sold that idea of what Rizzo thought the ending would be so well that I actually wondered if he forgot the ending.
Hahaha he’s a little stinker 😜
Benji... cultural approp WAS a thing, we just didn't have a word for it... Black folks LOVE this movie b/c it's an example of having something stolen, but then coming out on top... due to hard work, perseverance, and imaginative thinking
It’s SO good and ahead of its time and I really love how equally the Clovers are treated - neither pitied nor thrown aside! They are imperfect but justified! Love it!
Sorry, I was being kind of satirical saying it didn’t exist… I just meant for White pop-culture it “didnt” exist because it wasn’t much of a conversation yet
I think Rizzo’s analogy of the movie growing up is so good! Because each movie does ACTUALLY grow up!
Hahaha thanks!!!
FUN FACT: The same band that performs that “Do You Wanna Go My Way” song during the Spirit Stick scene, is the band that performed the Powerpuff Girls Theme Song
(BiS ❤)
NO FUCKING WAY!
I AM SCREAMINGGGGG. It's cold in here! There must be some Pop Stars in the atmosphere!!!!
Ooo love that!!!
You guys keep visiting my childhood and teenage years. Thank you for all the nostalgia!
You’re welcome 🙆🏾♂️
Sorry for the double comment but it just came to me that when I was a teen I remember all my girl friends had a HUGE crush on Cliff and I didnt have the courage to say I liked Missy ahaha I was like "sureeee... Cliff is a.... Guuuuuy. Handsome... Person."
Hahah you can say it now that’s what matters🙌
9:08 I can’t hear this song and not think “we ain’t white, we ain’t white. We definetly ain’t white, break it down *****” scene from Not Another Teen Movie. I’m so glad it’s the same for Rizzo lmao
It’s drilled in my damn head 😭
I love when Benji lies to Rizzo about the movie so he’s surprised lol
He got me REAL good in this one!
Watching this as a Buffy kid, I love that three of the same actors are in this! Missy (Eliza Dushku) as Faith, Courtney (Clare Kramer) as Glory, & Whitney (Nicole Bilderback) as a "Cordette" in The Wish episode
31:02 Benji bracing for the face reveal made me bust out laughing because I do the same thing! That scene is deeply ingrained into memory & still gets me lolll
It’s so funny watching Benji’s face throughout ALL of this reaction AFTER we filmed. Some expressions I only noticed after editing hahaha
Cudos to Bengi for keeping cool and not giving even a hint of the ending ❤️🤣
He got me SO good! Despite how accurately I guessed it lolol
Not me not realizing they made Buffy references 😅 also I was full on reciting the cheers with Benji ❤
Hahaha those cheers burrow into your brain
@@PinkPopcastyou walked the line perfectly, sir.
This movie is the reason I became a cheerleader in high school. I think i know every word.
Omg how influential 🎉
I can go years without seeing this movie and still recite the cheers! I am a huge Buffy fan so seeing Eliza Dushku in this movie made me want to watch it.
Somehow I knew her name and I’ve never watched Buffy - Rizzo
Did u see Kirsten Dunst doing it at the anniversary showing? She is one of us 😂
When Rizzo said this felt like a horror movie set up it made me think of Bring it on: Cheer or die. That would be such a fun reaction!
I do eventually want to watch that - but I meant more the late 90’s edge is what was making me feel like it’s a SCREAM movie or I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER lol (I also know this movie came out in 2000 but it’s basically a late 90s film)
Honestly, cheerleading drama with Benji and Rizzo would be epic though!
🙌🙌
@PokhrajRoy. I would pay to see that!!!! Omg!!! Benji would be so in his element, throwing SAS like the KING he is. And Rizzo would be all, "Well the f, can't we talk this out first? No? Okay lookie here you LITTLE SHIT!!!😁😁😁😁" Lmao
Especially since Tor's mom wasn't doing the whole "giving up my dreams" thing. You need good grades to go to college and graduate from that. The parents are definitely not villains in this movie!
Exactly!!! Kids just don’t understand smh lol
I grew up watching this and it really shaped my sexuality because of, yes, Missy. But upon rewatching it as an adult I can recognize the lower points.... It's a product of it's time. The hairstyles, the bandanas, the foam flip flops.
Haha love the movie but still can recognize it’s a product of it’s time 😅
I'll be honest I still love the style lol
The slurs, the body shaming…
Ah yes, Eliza Dushku really helped a generation 🤩🌈💁🏽♀️
@@AnnaWillo I agree
I did the opening cheer at my parents 4th of July pool party. Every teenager to 40 year old joined in 😂
I also just love this movie bc of all the Buffy actors in it
Fantastic haha🙌🙌
Glory & Faith are iconic ❤
Clare Kramer, who plays Courtney was also one of the best Buffy villains and I didn't even think about it until now.
Benji forgot to mention it hahaha
Also, Nicole Bilderback who played Whitney had a small role on Buffy and one of the girls in the popular group. She’s featured in the episode, “The Wish.”
Rizzos face when he thought that one cheerleader actually died 😂😂
IT WAS THE 90s!!! Hahahaha 🩸
6:20 They should've kept the ballet guy - do they know how good and rare an athlete a ballet dancer is, right?
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
My dyslexic ass read it as "Bridgerton", and I was like wuuuuuut? 4th season cometh already? Alas, no my gentle readers. It wasn't the case.
Oh noooo 😂
the funniest part about the football players fighting, the cherry on top, is that the one torro fully jumped into the other guy's arms to "attack" him lmao
literally straddled him, which was the hilarious and ironic part.
That jump never fails to make me laugh. That was a run away with me jump 😂😂😂
Another movie on my "shoulda been gay"-list. I remember shipping Torrance and Missy so hard as a kid 😂
Bwahahaha - right!?!? There is definitely some tension there 👀
You can tell that audition sequence inspired so many others to come but for me it always reminds me of the audition sequence in Glee when Sue is auditioning people for the Cheerios 🤣
Benji agrees lol. Those scenes always seem to copy each other lol
if this film is problematic, i dont want to be a problem solver. PERFECTION! LOVEDED IT!
Bwahahahaha
@serenityq26 I am sooooo with you lmao. All of it was in/for humor so I can't see the problem lol. It would be like getting mad at standup show.
It’s so interesting to watch this after reading Gabrielle Union’s book. She regrets that she pushed for Isis and the Clovers to “take the high road” and feed into respectability politics in order to appease the main character’s white guilt. The problem is that the original script swung the pendulum too far in the other direction, where they made the Clovers and Black characters into stereotypes and caricatures of blackness. Gabrielle wanted to switch it up and give a better take, so that’s why we have the final product. It was Gabrielle Union who made this into the better representation of cultural appropriation and the white commodification of Black culture.
That is phenomenal. You know, it’s funny, I’m sure from her perspective the Clovers are WAAAAY too nice. Honestly, I’ve seen so many movies that force black/queer characters to take the high road and I have to say - I feel like the Clovers are the PERFECT balance! They never once back down to make the Torros feel better. I guess they could have actually whooped their ass and literally KICKED them out of their school but I feel the way they did it was perfect. Her character was allowed to be mean, justified, petty, protective, bitter, but open minded. Even the final line, where she didn’t downplay their team and simply agreed with Torrance that the Clovers indeed “Were Better!” PERFECTION!
She never should have had to be responsible for all that representation. In a better world, Gabrielle Union could have simply been the LEAD actress. Alas, I’m glad we got as much of the Clovers as we did! 🙌🏽
If you guys do continue the series, PLEASE do Bring It On: All or Nothing (3rd movie), because the first Bring It On is not even HALF as problematic as the third one😂 The amount of micro-aggressions is CRAZY! That would be a good laugh
I've always found it funny how Gabrielle Union's character wanted to beat the crap out of Torrence, but not Big Red when she went to videotape their rehearsals...
I was thinking that too but it seems like neither of them had a position of authority until this semester so they were dealing with the sins of their predecessors
wasn't that more one of Isis's friends? I never got a 'beat the crap' vibe from Isis - well, not physically, more a 'whither them down with a glare and then obliterate them on the court - after reading them for filth'.
The burr it’s cold in here is a really old chant from the black fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha
Wait seriously!?!? Well at least it wasn’t actually appropriated whew 😮💨
Ugh, this might be one of my favorite videos on this channel. My favorite reaction channel + one of my favorite movies??? It was🤌 perfect. Now I just need you to do Stick It.
Omg we want to watch that so bad!!!
@@PinkPopcast Yesss please!
@@PinkPopcast Literally BEGGING!!!!! I love Stick It! and it was made by the same woman who wrote this Bring It On!
Oh I hope they cover the one with Hayden Penitiere with the Rihanna cameo.
We plan to… eventually
They have to omg
it is so refreshing to know that even the straight ppl notice how gay these movies are. i fully thought i was projecting lmao. also not to be dramatic but i didn't really get to do "girl bonding" as a kid bc i was outed really young (and now i'm non binary so there's like extra layers) and it's really sweet to experience this w benji. it feels like going to a sleepover and i never got to do that so thank you, it's really special!! gay/lesbian/rizzo solidarity
Aww thank you so much for sharing that!
I really like what rizzo said at the end. As long as you are able to acknowledge 'dang some parts of this have not aged well.' There is no reason to sort of hinder your liking of a film on the outdated-ness of it lol. Did they actors show up and give their all? Set design/costumes/story telling/direction on point? Did the people involve clearly care and just unfortunately included 'jokes' of the time in the movie? Okay, then let your review start there.
Yes! Bring it on Definitely grew up to be a good person lol
that pic of penn had me dying
Hahaha you’re welcome!
what rizzo said at the end is a great way to look past media. If you can see the heart is in the right place, if the Movie were to grow up, they'd be a good person. that feels right. It's why this movie feels still ok to watch despite the hiccups in language, and why movies like Revenge of the Nerds should be forgotten and left behind. that movie would have grown into a baaad person
Oof Revenge of the Nerds is HORRENDOUS 🤮
This upload made me so happy, I literally searched for y’all’s Bring it On reaction a month ago and was shocked to see there wasn’t one! I’m so glad we got to experience Rizzo’s first time watching this classic❤
You asked and the universe gave!!!
Okay now you have to do “All Or Nothing” and “In It To Win It” 😂
We plan to!!!
9:42 - "Are we about to plug into the matrix?" 😂🤣🤣 The way I screammed lol
Totally agree Rizzo! The soul of this movie is pure, the problematic stuff is auxiliary and easy to shed
This movie was my entire personality when I was 11. Even living in a country town in Australia I thought I was an American cheerleader lol.
Now THAT is adorable! Love how impressionable we are as kids 😅
The way I cackled when Benji said, "Start disassociating." 😂😂
😂😂
PLZZ WATCH ALL OR NOTHING!!!! i find it to be the most iconic one of the bring it on movies
Benji wants me to desperately!!!
I've not seen this film in so long so I was just as surprised and happy with the ending! The scene with the little girl KILLED me😂
Jesus I haven’t laughed that hard in SO long!
13:53 Rizzo is so me when I’ve rewatched this movie. The way I didn’t clock this when I was 12😂
🫨🤯
you guys are quite literally the only thing that i’ve kept my love and enjoyment for through this depressive episode i’ve been going through. and i’m so thankful. you guys bring so much joy into my life even when it’s full of it. thank you for doing what you do 💗💕
Honestly we know what that’s like! So sorry life is what it is right now! Sending good vibes and prayer your way! 💖
I haven’t seen this movie in probably 20 years lol I actually forgot the clovers win in the end and I was on their side the whole reaction 😂😂 I’m like??? They stole their routines!
EXACTLY! Thank god there was justice for clovers!!!
I love this channel so much, the “down, up, engage✨” is something I genuinely look forward to hearing, you both are so darn cute, I love it here, and the energy is UNMATCHED 😂❤️ I LOVE ITTTT
PLEASEEE WATCH THE REST OF THE MOVIES 🛐😩 hayden panettiere’s is my favourite but i love them all equally tbh
Hahaha you and Benji feel the same way!
CLASSIC. I watched this movie sooooooo many times with my dorm mates back in the day. At 41 I can still repeat the dialogue word for word! LOVE IT
I wish I had that childhood 😭😭😭
33:19 benji did such a good job not spoiling the winners
Thank you! Lol
What i noticed, benji quotes movies when rizzo hasn't seen them. Rizzo looks over at benji during important parts when benji hasnt seen them
Hahaha - you know us too well
32:11 my favorite part of the movie! 😍 I rewind it at least once every time I watch the movie.
Let’s petition Hollywood to make endings fun again!!!
"Touched by an angel' was a saying before TV. Although it does make me think of _Angel._ (Yeah, I know there is a show actually called _Touched by an Angel.)_
I used to watch Touched By An Angel as a kid. I think she was referencing that. I dunno, it gives “TV show name drop” vibes
Genuinely one of the best movies of the 2000s
Genuinely a classic!
Sorry Rizzo you’re awesome but I want to be in Benji’s Cheer Team so we can cheer for Sawyer the Hot Bodyguard
😍😍😍
Rizzo’s analogy was actually quite brilliant:
“If this movie 🎥 could grow up, it would be a good person”.
I was a little bit apprehensive watching this for the first time with you guys.
Relieved by how it concluded, & Rizzo’s twitching, cringing & squinting through parts of it was extremely relatable!
Thankfully Benji’s love for this movie with all its shock 😳 moments made it an easier, less traumatic ride. 🚘
Aww thank you so much! Glad we could make this an enjoyable experience!
when i was a kid, i interpreted the Clovers as the villains and didn't understand why they won since the protagonist always wins
Hahaha kids don’t always understand nuance 😂
20:36 Don't worry, I've seen other reactors watch this movie and say 'you're supposed to be national champions - that is a beginners level pyramid'
EXACTLY!!! I wasn’t trying to be a dick hahaha cause I could NEVER do that (more power to cheerleaders) but in a movie about CHAMPION CHEERLEADERS that DID seem like a beginner level lolol
Jessie really was that guy in theses movies. I feel like it's 30% eyebrows and 70% pretty boy smirk lol.
90% Aww Shucks!
21:42 You could possibly see her as kind of a minor villain in 10 Things I Hate About You. She was kind of a shitty friend to Bianca, lol.
Oooooo yeaaaaaaah
36:30 omg I LOVED the 4th one growing up! The 5th one with Christina Milian was pretty fun too
Excited to eventually see them!… eventually…
Obsessed with this reaction!! My second favorite from y’all next to Bridgerton 😮💨🤩 pls watch the rest of them!!
Omg really??? Thank you!!!
He is so me ! 😂😂😂 Literally mouthing every word😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅
whenever i hear the "people cheering cheerleaders" or the "be aggressive, b-e aggressive" lines, i can't help but think of the movie fired up, the satire movie about cheer, cuz in universe, they treat this as their bible lmao
Fired up will forever be hilarious. Thanks for the memory unlock!
As a 6 year old I remembered Gabrielle Union from 10 Things I Hate About You as well (My sister is 10 years older than me so we watched her movies alot) so I thought she was always playing the bad guy. But then I grew up and realized, in this movie she is not the bad guy at all.
she is also in "she's all that" which came out the same year as 10 things and before this. She has been killin it for legit decades! (and playing a teen for decades lol)
She is definitely bad in 10 Things tho hahaha
Benji singing along NEVER gets old! I live for it tbh
He will never stop hahahaha
god I was SO YOUNG watching this I remembered NO plot, BARELY any characters. I retained 1) Hey Mickey, and 2) the gas pump cheer which never made ANY sense to me because I've never seen a pump attendant in my life.
Haha right? Me neither!
I rewatched this movie A LOT last month and didn’t realize how iconic it is, but also how crazy movies used to be.
They were definitely UNHINGED!
Now that you’ve seen this movie, yall gotta watch Fired Up
One of these days!
this is the only Bring It On that I recognize. I had it on DVD and watched it on repeat throughout my college years. I'm so glad Rizzo enjoyed it; I knew he'd love the ending once I realized how much he was rooting for the Clovers. this movie also helped me realize I was bi because I had a major crush on Eliza Dushku AND Jesse Bradford in this movie lmao 😂
I would NOT have been happy if they lost! I was rooting for them so hard!
@@PinkPopcast growing up is realizing that the Clovers were the true protagonists of this movie. 💅🏾
They filmed at San Diego State❤ I wanted to go there so bad just because of this movie!
My girlfriend just told me that hahaha - she went there and loved the buildings
When you work there and see the locations every day 😄l
two buffy alums in this film. the blonde evil cheerleader (bestie with the asian girl) played the season 5 big bad, Glory and eliza of course was Faith.
Thank you both so much fod the reaction. I know a lot of people adore first time reactions but for me watching someone watch something they love (or loved in the past) is the best. I remember that even as a "sheltered" kid seeing this for the first time I was annoyed at the relationship with the brother being forced in. A couple years later I watched and felt justified in that and understood why so many people thought their was better chemistry between the two girls. Im curious now just how much f/f fanfiction thus inspired. Anyway, again thank you for the reaction. Todays kind of sucked and this brought me smiles.
P.s. Did I somehow miss the moment where they are stretching and the football guys walk buy and say something like "maybe we should join" or is it just not there. My concentrations crap today so Im not sure if I just missed it. I tried scanning through the video but cant really remember where in the movie it happens. It's one of those "yep, this is a 90s film" moments I thought would make the cut.
Oh it definitely happens. We have a hard time cutting down these two hour movies to forty minutes - sometimes, There are casualties 😭
I saw this as a teen but after it had been out for a long time, like after the show Buffy, which i watched all the time as a kid, had ended. And yet i have no recollection of Eliza Dushku being in it...
She had already been in Buffy at this point so the reference feels very intentional. The design of the fake tattoo she wipes off was also likely a reference as it's very similar to Faith's tattoo in Buffy.
Oh that’s so funny
I love that Bring It On has not on, not two, but three Buffy Alumni ( Nicole Bilderback /Whitney/Cordelia's entourage, Clare Kramer/Courtney/Glory, and of course the fabulous Eliza Dushku/Missy/Faith) which makes the "let's just beat these Buffys down" line so perfect. Fun fact they actually mixed real cheerleaders into with the actors to make the routine more authentic, and they included small errors into the routine to justify their losing first place
not me singing along with benji and the squad; this movie (franchise) was my entire childhood!! rizzo was onto something at the end fr! i love your insights.
As a screenwriter I could feel the appropriate ending calling to me lolol
I remember as like a seven year old and watching this with our neighbours, we grew up in a predominantly poor neighbourhood with mixed races together and I didn't really see a lot of difference in races, but this was like the first mixed racial movie that stands out in my head and it being a favourite of mine for a really long time, one because it took me back to my childhood and the friends I had but also seeing the racial side of things from a teenage lense and not just my own as a child
That’s so awesome! I think this movie ultimately had a good heart!!
I just got some sad news, and I was feeling really down, and then I pulled up youtube and saw you guys had posted a new video, and you had me laughing in the first 5 seconds. So thank you ❤
I’m so sorry 🥺 I hope your day gets better!!!
Agreed! As a kid, I was so convinced the Clovers were the bad guys, but I was also like damn their routine is bomb af lol so glad I’ve grown cause Clovers are obvs. the top cheese
Director: The actor who played Sparky, his only lines were "I'm Sparky Polastri and I'm here to show you how to do Spirit Fingers" and I don't know where he came up with those lines when he was roasting cast because it's sure as hell wasn't in the script.
Wooooow! What a clever asshole lol
“Brr it’s cold in here” isn’t actually from this movie, it’s been around since at least the 80s!
Okay I was wondering!!! Hahaha
