I give Downey so much credit for his attitude about this movie. He has never apologized for any joke he made in this movie and has no plans of doing so
Dude, you're allowed to laugh. People buy into this myth that offensive comedy is somehow not allowed anymore, and that's bs. The people who cry and complain about it are usually people who are trying to tell jokes where BEING offensive is the point (usually right-wingers), and THAT kind of "comedy" SHOULD be shamed.

That's because Robert's character was the only person in the movie who thought what he was doing was okay. The object of the jokes was the movie industry.
@VAVORiAL alright, a grammar cop can I hit you up for spell checks, too ? Remember you think I'm old, which means I don't have much going on in life and nothing but time on my hands. Chances are, I'm gonna keep responding to your nonsense.
I grew up in the 1970s, and if anyone was mean to you, or said something to try and hurt your feelings, we had a mantra that we would tell ourselves: sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me. It helped you to develop a tough skin (metaphorically speaking). People these days are far too sensitive, and get triggered on almost anything. People need to grow up and learn to roll with the punches. I can’t imagine being so angry all the time, it must be exhausting.
I'm glad he didn't add Natalie gold's reaction to this. She got so high up on her moral arrogant high horse judging this movie that I couldn't watch her channel anymore.
Same here. That was it for me. It is a movie, just laugh. People dont want to laugh at things that are raw because they don't want a perception about them and want to project they are moral. I'm sure everyone that did that projection while watching this has done some messed up things in their life.
I stopped watching her when I clued in that all her reactions are fake. She's already watched the movies and prepared her reactions, then pretends to be reacting spontaneously.
I will never understand why people get so uncomfortable about this scene. They have the friggin context to it. The words are spoken by two self absorbed actors in this story. They themselves and Hollywood as a whole are the target of the joke. Ben Stiller even said so himself.

Yup, we said worse, even early millennials from the 80s. These reactors basically have to put on a front that they are offended, because how society has become. They dont wanna take heat from laughing, bet they laugh and say things when the camera isnt rolling. It is all projection
it was used as a medical term and now they changed it to "intellectual disability" so that it won't hurt other people's feelings ffs. Hell, the word "late" is called "r3tard" in french. Will you get offended by the french people with that? There are so many snowflakes in western nowadays 😂
“Tropic Thunder” could never be made today, which is ridiculous. People really need to stop being so soft and sensitive. The characters were idiots. When idiots do idiot things, people shouldn’t be offended.
This is why Vince Vaughn stated that studios are afraid to create these movies because executives feared that they would get fired seeing younger generation feeling uncomfortable with the language.........sad state of affairs!!!
All the grown people laughing their ass off because it’s funny. And watching the self righteous young people sit there stone faced seething is equally hilarious 😂
It's hilarious seeing people freaking out over a word. Just a clinical, descriptive word, no worse than any term they have replaced it with. As if changing words changed reality lol
@@benschultz1784 Short answer that doesn’t end up repeating itself, satirising a racist practise of Hollywood and the entertainment industry by doing said thing is in-fact uncomfortable and racist.
Right on! And I say it more if someone gets upset..because Gen X ain't pu$$ies..we like to scare younger people with it..and we got legal precedents insuring our right to say it. Offended? Shrinks can help with that low self esteem...We didn't sign up to be nice to these generations. Lol
Some are actually 'progressive' virtue signallers like the 2 Canadian reactors. All of them are conscious of how they'll look if they react too offended or laugh too hard. It's running through their heads fast....how do I react to this? Normal humans just laugh, cuz it's funny.
''Playing a guy who ain't smart but thinks he is, that's tricky,'' Kevin Kline was able to pull it off to perfection in ''A Fish Called Wanda''. And he did win an Oscar for it.
I saw this movie in theaters when I was 12. Thought nothing of Robert Downy Jr. with the black face paint, or them saying r*tarded. To be fair, I was young, so didn't really know much. Funny how things change over the year.
Robert Downey, Jr. shook this scene.This piece is hilarious, regardless of the now-oh-my-goodnesses, it would receive today. It is raw humor. On purpose. =)
I think most people aren't actually offended by using the word like this. They just know that they have to ACT offended otherwise they'll get into trouble. They care too much about what other people might say. Most normal human beings can tell when it's used inoffensively and when it's used maliciously. Like every other "offensive" word.
I think it's about half and half. Many people are legitimately appalled by things like this. You can tell by the people who nervously laugh vs the ones who genuinely look shocked and irritated. Ironically, I've noticed that the folks who get easily offended are sometimes the same people who treat other people pretty horribly. Turning vicious if you don't agree with something
This was great because even at the time it was roasting Stiller's character for his choices and having his head up his butt. Layer that on top of RDJ's character doing blackface in the 2000s and it's just perfect because he's doing the same thing. It's hilarious, uncomfortable, and deeply insightful. Great mashup my friend
Check out Behind the scenes tropic thunder deleted scene sgt Lincoln Osiris 😂 this should have definitely been left in the movie😂🤣 omg I pissed my pants
There’s a scene where RDJ says “I don’t stop playing a character until the DVD commentary.” And if you ever get a a chance to see the DVD commentary for this movie RDJ stays in this character throughout the whole thing…
Just to adore how great this movie was the outrage over this movie at the time was them doing simple Jack. Nobody was even worried about rdj doing blackface except the characters in the movie
Look at most of the people's reaction to the word 🙄 I hate to break it them but that was the word we were taught to use in the 80's. It was the PC way to address them during that time period. Guess what? Words we use today will be considered taboo in the future. Language evolves. To be aghast at hearing a word is silliness. Words are content. Context is what matters. In this scene the joke isn't on special needs people. It is on the 2 egomaniac actors & the Hollywood system as whole .
Just to watch every single reactor wince is priceless. This was only 16 years ago. That's amazing. I would have never dreamed in a 100 years that our morals and standards would have become so self-censored and changed so drastically. It's like we went backwards 150 years.
Funny enough, while non-malicious words have become so taboo to say, people now say some of the most vile and legitimately horrible things to one another online. We just swapped inoffensive words with actually offensive words lol
All you guys talking about how sensitive everyone is these days have never watch American Dad or South Park. They do way more today, right now than this movie ever did.
It's actually easy to see how these guys who are reacting to this scene are so easily offended. For me whenever I watch this scene, I just laugh my ass off 🤣🤣🤣
It’s funny to see the younger generation being so uncomfortable with this. When it came out I saw this in the theater and nobody I knew got upset by any of it. It was just a funny movie. Saying retarded wasn’t a bad thing and a white actor dressing up as a black person wasn’t what people make it out to be now. Dan Aykroyd did it in Trading Places and nobody even talks about that. It wasn’t an unusual thing and I never saw it as them making fun of black people. It was just funny like when Eddie Murphy dressed up as a white person on several occasions which was always hilarious. People just want to drag everything into the dirt and make it into something bad.
This film is an examination of the difference between the dubject of a joke and the object if the joke. Anything can be the subject of a joke if you are careful with the object, the person or thing being mocked. In this scene, both of these characters are the ones being mocked. Ben's character is being mocked for even thinking his approach to the Jack character was okay. Robert's character was mocked by being the only character in ghe movie who thought dying his skin was okay. Similar to Mel Brooks movies. You put the most outrageous and unsatisfactory words in the mouth of the dumbest characters.
The scene is hilarious and always will be to me. The reactors both laughing and cringing are hilarious. And the comments from people offended that people are offended are equally hilarious. Wish we had the internet for longer because i would love to see the comparison comments from history "these kids today getting all offended by the N word". 😂
Here's the thing: It was offensive back then, too! Just... nobody gave a shit. They were too busy laughing. It was crass, cruel, insensitive as hell. And that's precisely the joke - YOU. Squirming in your seat, not believing what you were hearing. And laughing at it. Things aren't different, people aren't different. It's funny exactly the same way Blazing Saddles was. Sometimes, the moral IS the story.
I think that it is time for some people to grow a thick skin after years of PC Culture! My generation and previous before mine knew the difference of what is or is not offensive. I have watched TV shows such as All in the Family, Jefferson, and Sanford & Son. Those shows represented the time of 1970's Now, some show does offend things, then some people called it to be cancelled!
This joke in the movie doesn’t even work if the word is perfectly fine and normal to say, then it’s just a normal convo the fact that you laugh mean you get that the word is a little reductive and regressive and that’s why it’s funny in this context because how obviously tone def the actors are in the movie if you think it’s funny, then clearly you know the word is outdated and offensive. If not why is the scene funny to you? Because they are speaking normally about a normal medical condition. I think some commenters here are fooling themselves.
It is ok!!!!!Its comedy.Thats.the problems m.with today...People are soft.Have to.say if a word gets you angry or uncomfortable, you have the problem!!!
The guy from the couple in bed was wrong. There were all types of people and groups seriously upset over this. One mother’s of mentally challenged kids even sued the studio if memory serves. I remember hearing about it at the time because I loved the movie then and now and it made me mad that they were catching crap for it. People then got butt hurt too, but nothing like they do today. Today everybody is so soft it’s sad. If there was a world war we’d be in serious trouble! What so many people miss is that they are not making fun of any person or group out there! They are making fun of their own industry! They are showing how the people we hold up as role models and as being better human beings than we are, that they are in fact deeply flawed individuals! We are the better people, Hollywood is full of damaged jokes that not worth our time and definitely not worth our admiration or money!
It was offensive then. It was meant to be. It was making fun of how cold hearted Hollywood is by exploiting people's disabilities for their own financial gain.
I wish they'd come out and actually say which 'people' are 'way more sensitive', instead of making it out to be the public in general. It's the samn Gen Y/Gen Z millennials, esp. the younger 20-somethings and SJWs w/ PC sticks up their arses using social media so it looks like there's millions more of them. It's certainly not those 40-something and older in general. Also, y'all talk like 2008 was 50 years ago.
I give Downey so much credit for his attitude about this movie. He has never apologized for any joke he made in this movie and has no plans of doing so

The scene is hilarious and always will be to me. The reactors both laughing and cringing are hilarious. And the comments from people offended that people are offended are equally hilarious.
Wish we had the internet for longer because i would love to see the comparison comments from history "these kids today getting all offended by the N word". 😂
Here's the thing: It was offensive back then, too! Just... nobody gave a shit. They were too busy laughing. It was crass, cruel, insensitive as hell. And that's precisely the joke - YOU. Squirming in your seat, not believing what you were hearing. And laughing at it. Things aren't different, people aren't different. It's funny exactly the same way Blazing Saddles was. Sometimes, the moral IS the story.
Society went full on
I think that it is time for some people to grow a thick skin after years of PC Culture! My generation and previous before mine knew the difference of what is or is not offensive. I have watched TV shows such as All in the Family, Jefferson, and Sanford & Son. Those shows represented the time of 1970's Now, some show does offend things, then some people called it to be cancelled!
The reactors that didn't include that part in their video cuz they thought it'd be offensive: 😐😐😐
The only people you can talk about on the internet who won't care.
Other than the Amish.
You was farting in bathtubs laughing your ass off
This joke in the movie doesn’t even work if the word is perfectly fine and normal to say, then it’s just a normal convo the fact that you laugh mean you get that the word is a little reductive and regressive and that’s why it’s funny in this context because how obviously tone def the actors are in the movie if you think it’s funny, then clearly you know the word is outdated and offensive. If not why is the scene funny to you? Because they are speaking normally about a normal medical condition. I think some commenters here are fooling themselves.
I get tired of watching people get offended by everything.
This is what people actually protested over, not RDJ wearing blackface.
No way the word is that bad we gotta censor it now….. wow im done with everyone
You can't say that! Well apparently I can because I just did.
It is ok!!!!!Its comedy.Thats.the problems m.with today...People are soft.Have to.say if a word gets you angry or uncomfortable, you have the problem!!!
The guy from the couple in bed was wrong. There were all types of people and groups seriously upset over this. One mother’s of mentally challenged kids even sued the studio if memory serves. I remember hearing about it at the time because I loved the movie then and now and it made me mad that they were catching crap for it. People then got butt hurt too, but nothing like they do today. Today everybody is so soft it’s sad. If there was a world war we’d be in serious trouble! What so many people miss is that they are not making fun of any person or group out there! They are making fun of their own industry! They are showing how the people we hold up as role models and as being better human beings than we are, that they are in fact deeply flawed individuals! We are the better people, Hollywood is full of damaged jokes that not worth our time and definitely not worth our admiration or money!
It was offensive then. It was meant to be. It was making fun of how cold hearted Hollywood is by exploiting people's disabilities for their own financial gain.
Would this be considered a "painful truth" joke?
This clip isn't even worth playing if you're going to censor it out. Ridiculous.
how ppl get soooo upset with words, is just sooooo sooo pathetic...it's how and in what context the word is said... truth is truth and that is that
i dont understand, its not a bad word, its a real word, with real meaning, you can use it as much as you like
half these reactions aren't even reactions, they're performances.
🚨WEEWOOWEEWOO🚨
Why did you start muting the word sometimes?😂
I wish they'd come out and actually say which 'people' are 'way more sensitive', instead of making it out to be the public in general. It's the samn Gen Y/Gen Z millennials, esp. the younger 20-somethings and SJWs w/ PC sticks up their arses using social media so it looks like there's millions more of them. It's certainly not those 40-something and older in general. Also, y'all talk like 2008 was 50 years ago.
Exactly people are so weak these days if they grew up in the 80-90’s they wouldn’t be this soft
