The writers had a whole backstory for that. He was taking his kid to some art college. His kid is also a DJ and spent the whole ride listening to TLC. The captain doesn't know who TLC is, but he absorbed some of the lyrics from that drive without realizing it.
@@tommyfleur7649 Yeah when he had his kids, he sort of went into low-key semi-retirement on his whole acting career, once his kids were pretty well grown he started to get back into it and thankfully he found some pretty good roles he could have fun with and the audience had fun with it too
Love how in the last scene he's still wearing his bed bath and beyond apron under his jacket. Meaning he's either just coming from a shift or heading there right after the crime scene XD hahaha
actually theres a ton of projects for Mr. M. Keaton though he stay focus on family and business more often nowadays but, having said that many directors wanted him to star in newly projects and series the problem is he cannot commit to many several movies, only the big ones like marvel walt disney and warner bros. so good to be a freelancer
I think Will Ferrell's reactions are funnier than the actual TLC references, especially when he says "come on, you don't say creep creep unless you're quoting TLC"
@@kostarizo5986 plus the fact that it's kinda a random band in TLC lol. This movie is honestly one of the best comedies ever there's so many jokes that hit.
Younger people don't know just how much comedic TV and movies Michael Keaton used to do. Wish he'd dive right back into that world, he's so naturally hilarious!
I saw this movie for the first time when I happened to be BAKED like a salmon , and once Keaton hit the “HE’S DYING!” line it was safe to say I Laughed 6 days straight , thanks Captain Gene
I read they had a back story about this.. something like he took his daughter to college and left the tape going in the car and he listened to it not knowing what it was
Really!? You don't get that 15 seconds in Michael Keaton's character finishes saying, "Don't go chasing Waterfalls ." And that TLC arguably most notable hit song is "Waterfalls?" Which also includes the line his character stated?
The cast, the writing, the acting, etc you wont get it again. Legit one of the best if the best ever done comedy. Never a dull moment and its entertaining as well like action wise. Craziest thing to me is that every single charcater whether its the main cast or guys with one scene kills it which almost never happens.
Billy Hennigan i love how he said 'creep' first and then let out another 'creep' silently and in the weirdest ways imaginable. it was like he was aware of the TLC references and he tried hard not to do it but he finally gave in anyway
Seriously this is the most underrated and overlooked movie EVER! This TLC thing is just one of the many hilarious gags throughout the movie. (Christinith!!!)
He's been in a couple really fantastic movies giving phenomenal performances, I do wish though he'd do another one of these especially comical roles again sometime soon.
Michael Keaton's acting just makes this so much funnier. It is so Natural and he has this voice and his face is like smiling while he's delivering the lines and you can't make out of if he is trolling lol
Lmfao wills "come ooonn" delivery is amazing lol he's just so much In pain and sick of the captain's denial to the tlc references lol plus the he's dying has me in stitches lol so many great moments in this film haha
Idk why, but this is too funny. The fact that he’s oblivious and then keeps saying successively deeper lyrics that only someone who listens to TLC everyday, all the time would know.
Keaton`s character here was one of the best trolls I`ve ever seen.
Grizzly Melon He ain't no scrub
Kenny Yoshitoya that look on Ferrell's face at 0:41 😂😂
True story!!!
He doesn’t get the reference
The writers had a whole backstory for that. He was taking his kid to some art college. His kid is also a DJ and spent the whole ride listening to TLC. The captain doesn't know who TLC is, but he absorbed some of the lyrics from that drive without realizing it.
Michael Keaton is a national treasure.
Michael Keaton is...... BATMAN
You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts!
His name is Batman
Why
I feel like the only person that saw Gung-Ho and loved it.
The way Keaton says "He´s dying!" always gets me.
YOU ARE RIGHT.......IN THIS SI THE BEST MOVIE OF FERRELL....BY FAR
Same 😂😂😂😂😂
"No! No I'm just resting"
Lmao I'm not the only one 😂😂😂😂
Got a bad knee… ROFL
I'm convinced there is only 50 people watching this 20 times a day.
iamhell2u and i am one of them
iamhell2u Holy shit I might be one of them
iamhell2u
I'm good for at least 8 views a day
yep im one of them, maybe only 15 times a day though
My dad is one of them.
"You don't say 'creep creep' unless you're quoting TLC." LMFAO!
i dont even know what youre talkin about
I love that little smirk when Keaton says, "Don't go chasing waterfalls."
Classic Keaton
Also the way he says "I don't know what you're talking about" ...like you can almost believe he's not doing it on purpose.
@@MelancoliaIHe's not. Read other comments for backstory for this gag
This movie was perfect. Super underrated comedy. I am so happy there is no sequel. Let's not ruin anything.
+John Candler as long as adam Mckay and will and mark and Michael are back...there is no way it can not be funny.
I remember that youthful, naive enthusiasm when I walked into the theater and sat down for "Anchorman 2."
And Zoolander 2...
Oh god, Zoolander 2 was a feature length raping of my nostalgia for the first one.
Nin13666 just like Anchorman and Dumb&Dumber 2 :/ smh
“I got a bad knee” then proceeds to use his face to get up kills me everytime
The face he makes when he says HE'S DYING is so Keaton.
Almost Beetlejuice’d that line 😆
@@zulafiq40 “Now you wanna get nuts? Come on! Let’s get nuts!”
I love how he puts all his weight on Will's face when he stands up
Bad Knee
Hahahahahahahahahhaah
😂😂😂 that’s the best part
I'm literally here for that one scene "bad knee" 😂😂😂
The “c’mon” after Creep Creep kills me😂😂
"we're losing him... HE'S DYING!!!!" lol, Keaton was the unsung hero of this film.
He really was, he set the whole tone. When he comes over whispering and yelling at the same time is perfect
"ain't proud to beg" outta nowhere 😂😂😂😂
I like to think that it was this role that catapulted Michael Keaton back onto the A-list.
Same!
It's f'n batman. Aside from Clooney and Kilmer, and affleck, all batmans are forever A list.
It probably definitely helped
@@tommyfleur7649 Yeah when he had his kids, he sort of went into low-key semi-retirement on his whole acting career, once his kids were pretty well grown he started to get back into it and thankfully he found some pretty good roles he could have fun with and the audience had fun with it too
@@codeman3788 can't wait to see him in The Flash
You know why....ain't too proud to beg. That was my favorite bc it just made no sense lol
I never noticed that was the only one that just didn't fit the context at all.
lol that was just pure troll
exactly like in step brothers when the billy joel cover band guy says sometimes you gotta keeping the faith
He Means That He Aint Too Proud To Beg Other Officers To Do Their Paperwork.
That's because it made dollars
Love how in the last scene he's still wearing his bed bath and beyond apron under his jacket. Meaning he's either just coming from a shift or heading there right after the crime scene XD hahaha
Never noticed that lmaooo
Omg I never caught that, thats so good of a catch, thanks!
Master class easter egg!!!
The delivery of "You can call me Gene when we're not in the office" is one of my favourite things of all time
Keaton may have gotten older over the years, but he never lost his edge. He still has the same energy as when he was younger and is still hilarious
He always feels more at home in comedys
“He may have gotten older over the years.”
🤣🙄
@@damnnative3188 how is that funny?
@@osamabad3597 Because it’s redundant and self-explanatory. We all get older as the years pass. That’s how aging in life works lol
@@JamesKovacic again, how is that funny?
This movie is one of the most consistently funny and well written comedies I’ve seen tbh.
Yeah its peak 2000s comedy. I personally don't have a movie I find funnier from that era lol
they got like 100 running gags in there
@@trevorbolton5891 Semi Pro is up there
I agree. There's not many comedies that would have me laughing this much after multiple watches.
The TLC references in this movie had me randomly laughing to myself all day. lol
When Keaton says "don't go chasing waterfalls" you can see him trying not to laugh. He lets out a little grin
Bobby Fresh He also looks like he's trying really hard not to laugh after he says "I don't want no scrubs" when they show Will Farrell talking to him
Bobby Fresh
Was that accidental or were you trying to quote TLC on purpose ?
Funny
He cant see that one bit. This is a profession actor , come on watch it again
I don't know what that is.
This was the funniest running gag in the whole movie for me. Even 10 mins after his scenes I would still be giggling. He killed it in this movie.
The penguin line and when he says "he's dying" gets me everytime
hahaha me too, HES DYING!
+TheMavWith_A_Mouth i didn't realize that lol
Lmao that and when he used Alan's face to support his bad knee as he was standing up XD
KevWebsz ahhh I always repeat those few seconds and die laughing every time. No one ever laughs with me, do GLAD I found ppl who relate!
Those were the two spots that I didn't laugh
It should be considered a crime for not hiring Keaton in every single movie ever
actually theres a ton of projects for Mr. M. Keaton though he stay focus on family and business more often nowadays but, having said that many directors wanted him to star in newly projects and series the problem is he cannot commit to many several movies, only the big ones like marvel walt disney and warner bros.
so good to be a freelancer
Michael K, a freaking police captain , working a part time job at bed bath and beyond
WTF, who wrote this!!!
lol
You forgot his bisexual kid
@@shubhamtiwary4827 Remember he is going to NYU just to explore his sexuality and become a DJ🤣
@@patrickorourke41 yeah,😂😂😂
A genius wrote this! So much details and subtle jokes, very rare nowadays, not stupid sex related jokes
Now that they want to defund the police that could actually happen !
I like how he loved his Bed Bath and Beyond job way more than his Captain job lol.
"I ain't too proud to beg" 😂🙈🤦🏼♂️ Keaton such a troll in this!!
I think Will Ferrell's reactions are funnier than the actual TLC references, especially when he says "come on, you don't say creep creep unless you're quoting TLC"
Well ya that's part of the joke, the quote without any acknowledgement isn't funny
@@philmedeiros2497 that's a good point
@@kostarizo5986 plus the fact that it's kinda a random band in TLC lol. This movie is honestly one of the best comedies ever there's so many jokes that hit.
“As much as a penguin.” is one of my favorite lines in this whole movie.
" I don't even understand the reference."
"You don't understand what you said?"
LOL
Hahhahahah
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
"I have no idea what you're talking about"
Get out
I flatline every time I see Will Ferrells face when he says "Really?" right after the "I don't want no scrubs" line 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me too lmao.
And "ain't to proud to beg"
Lmfao I know me too 😂
LMAOOO he was so incredulous
The “he’s dying!” is a perfect line reading
His distressed “He’s dying!” is so funny.
"Cause i dont want no scurbs..." AHHSHAHAHAAH
scrubs*
@McLarenBMW haha so? its still wrong.
@McLarenBMW yeah i know, i was probably bored when I did it, but you´re right.
A scrubs is a man who can't get no love from me.
"It's like a tick."😂That entire "Bed, Bath and Beyond" scene kills me!
Ella “Oh hey! Allen! You here for the bath mats?”
Love when hes talking to theBed Bath and Beyond staff and without thinking starts talking about the 'Crown Heights Rapist'... "Walk in pairs!!" Lol!
NEW BATH MATTS ARE IN!
The bamboo cutting boards go here
Captain Gene was the highlight of this movie
Trophy Raider "It's just Captain, sounds creepy Captain Gene, I don't have a kiddy show.."
Sorry I can quote this whole movie lol
Your boy Shay Sharpe same bro
@@Michael-ny6lk Clearly you can't because that quote isnt right. Dumb ass.
Every scene is the highlight of this movie
Bob Harris you must be fun at parties.
Dick
lmfao everytime i argue with someone, i end with "do me a favour... don't go chasing waterfalls". The confusion on their faces is priceless
Yessssss
Nice.
1:00 Keaton's "whistle-I-didn't do it" look when he turns around is so priceless. It makes the TLC situation that much better
Thats when I knew for a fact he was doing it on purpose 🤣
lmao, how Keaton uses his face to get up...gets me every time.
“He’s dying!” *performs unnecessary chest compressions* 😂😂😂
I watch the TLC references clips at least once a week. One of the funniest movie bits I've seen.
aint to proud to beg lol
Denzel Mangram "Come on, it's not funny anymore."😂
@HeyNowLookHere aint 2 proud 2 beg
The "He's dying!" gets me everytime
I love how defensive he gets when they accuse him of knowing 😆 its like he deep down knows but doesnt want them to figure out
“That’s okay. Don’t worry, bud. You can call me Gene when we’re not in the office.”
LOL 😂😭
1:29 the saxophone playing in the background, reminds me of Lethal Weapon series xD
Who else laughs when Michael Keaton says Im gonna go check on terry, hold on ive got a bad knee (uses wills face to push himself up) AHAHAHHAHAH
Younger people don't know just how much comedic TV and movies Michael Keaton used to do. Wish he'd dive right back into that world, he's so naturally hilarious!
Mr. Mom was so funny.
The peacock line delivery by Walberg is fucking flawless man LMAO
The fact that he also works at bed bath and beyond 😂
1:41 HE'S DYYYYING! XD

Lol the way he says that second "creep".
Always cracks me up, that.
"Come on! It's not funny anymore"
😂 the bordering on 4th wall break makes me laugh
I read they had a back story about this.. something like he took his daughter to college and left the tape going in the car and he listened to it not knowing what it was
I love how they use the sax in the score, Lethal Weapon style
I don't even understand the reference.
You don’t understand what you said?
my favorite part 😂😂😂

Really!? You don't get that 15 seconds in Michael Keaton's character finishes saying, "Don't go chasing Waterfalls ." And that TLC arguably most notable hit song is "Waterfalls?" Which also includes the line his character stated?

The TLC songs that were referenced were these:
"Waterfalls"
"No Scrubs"
"Creep"
"Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg"

The Last TLC Reference was Hilarious 🤣
Love how Comedies put 1 Song Artist(s) and somehow work around it to make it Funny asf
One of the best recurring jokes in a movie
They could've easily added "what about your friends" somewhere in the movie.
or customer asking for help at BB&B and he offers to give them the Red Light Special
How did this film not get a sequel. Sequel now please with the same cast!
J.K. Anane I kind of agree, but what if they messed up the sequel... happens too often :(
just bring back Keaton - pure gold.
daweller So what? It's worth the risk.... if they mess it up we still have the original.
J.K. Anane Yeap! this fim is one of the best action comedies I've ever seen. I'm still waiting for the sequel!

Every few episodes he quotes a rap song :)
@@1800REDGENESIS Who was in Paris again? (TV Show gets cancelled immediately lol)
The look on his face when yells "He's dying" kills me lmao

fucking bruce wayne quoting tlc-songs... i never thought i'd see this day...
0:08 the photograph of Keaton in his cop uniform on the table 😂😂😂😂
Michael Keaton such a good subtle comedy actor
_I don't know what that is,_ get out.
I like when Michael Keaton said Where losing him, He's DYING!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the sax thats playing in the background around the 2:00 mark
He's been in a couple really fantastic movies giving phenomenal performances, I do wish though he'd do another one of these especially comical roles again sometime soon.
Michael Keaton is the most under rated and under used comedic actors ever. He's hilarious in almost everything.
The way mark wahlberg backs up will Ferrell with the other times he quoted tlc songs 0:47
Michael Keaton's acting just makes this so much funnier. It is so Natural and he has this voice and his face is like smiling while he's delivering the lines and you can't make out of if he is trolling lol
I love that Captain Gene has a framed photo of just himself in his office.
I laughed soo hard in the theatre at the HES DYING PART LMAOO
Peacocks do not fly!! About as much as a penguin.
This is a hilarious film and Michael Keaton made it even that much funnier.
This had so many random funny things. From the Rock and SLJ to Capt Gene, to Terry learning things sarcastically and Allen’s attractiveness to women.
0:18 😅😅😅 I don't even understand the reference
I can watch this film again and again and it's still funny. Wow! that was really impressive Terry!!
Lmfao wills "come ooonn" delivery is amazing lol he's just so much In pain and sick of the captain's denial to the tlc references lol plus the he's dying has me in stitches lol so many great moments in this film haha
They fly a little.. they get a real running start. Lol Alan is awesome trying to defend his partner.
"Real quite, you gotta creep......... creep" "c'mon, you don't say creep creep unless you're quoting TLC" 😂💀
I really, really, really wish Keaton would do more movies nowadays…. Perfect actor!!!
It's really "diggin' on you" that he doesn't?
His son is a DJ. Dad’s dropping TLC references.
Idk why, but this is too funny. The fact that he’s oblivious and then keeps saying successively deeper lyrics that only someone who listens to TLC everyday, all the time would know.
Also that fact that the sayings make absolutely no sense but fit so perfectly in terms of comedic timing
I've watched this movie multiple times now, every scene is hilarious! Need a sequel!!
The way he just walks off and whistles knowing exactly what he's doing.
Probably one of the best running gags ever in a comedy
This one is nice, but I like Jennifer Lawrence's in Don't Look up better.
