I am currently watching in the distant future in the midst of a horrible catastrophe...
Same, it gets worse....
@@williamreininger7546 Still from the future, still a catastrophe....
@@UpperState it's slightly better one day in the future
Do you remember Afghanistan?
I thought it was getting better, but then it got worse. This was fun though.
"dan akroyd's friend, a LIAR..."
LMAO
I think the most important thing you're forgetting about the Kingsman scene is that like every second they spend the flirting is another thousand people who are being murdered by Jackson's plan and they still proceeded to have this entire exchange. Eggsy's own family is at risk and he doesn't know if they're safe but he still takes time out of this time sensitive mission to establish this deal.
Yeah but....... princess butt sex, hee hee
I hate how the second movie barely addresses the slaughter. The only reason Eggsy's baby sister lived was because he told his mom to lock her in the bathroom. Even then the mom almost kills the baby. How many parents snapped out of it with their children's blood on their hands. Add in almost every world leader dying and you would not have normal for a very long time.
Explaining the plot of Kingsman requires the punctuation of “it’s a weird movie”
I’m glad you addressed the Ghostbusters thing bc I for years thought Ray just got sexually assaulted by a ghost out of nowhere. There’s ZERO context. It’s so weird.
I saw the click bait and thought of that scene right away.
I always just thought of the scene as just some perverted sex dream that didn't need any subplot other than Ray being so overworked he dreams of getting a bj from a ghost. 'nuff said.
Like how many times do you have a dream where someone does something kinky to you. Where do you think all the nurse, maid, librarian, or teacher fantasies come from?
Couldn't one just as easily say he's sexually assaulting the ghost? I mean, what are the standards of consent surrounding dead &/or forever spiritually trapped people?
@@1lovesoni He’s not the one undoing his own belt and forcing his dick into the ghost, he’s a willing participant. Neither of them is getting sexually assaulted in this scenario.
"The audience is more discerning and selective about their time."
All of us rewatching this series for the 3rd (or is it 4th?) time would beg to differ.
Ive seen the ghost busters like a hundred times, I never noticed the officer uniform.
Same here
Same
Same
Same infinity....ugh but true
But you noticed the blowjob. And that’s what truly matters at the end of the day. Without that scene, the rest of the movie wouldn’t make sense.
I didn't see any bath tubs or showers in those cells either. (Kingsmen)
Or toilets 😬
I always like the part where Danny boy says "Bye" at the end.
he always seems weirded out that we're still there
I'M weirded out that we're still here!
the irony is Kingsman was an unnecessary part. kiss, sure, "I'll do a lot more than that," fine. but butt then show it, ugh. leave it ambiguous
YES TO ALL OF THIS. That Kingsman scene was so weird! And it's right at the end too, so you're left being like...ok...
And then they're in a relationship in the second movie, and you see her and you're like, "isn't that the anal princess girl from the first one?"
Sovereign Snorlax Dude, chill. You also completely missed the point, but more importantly, chill.
Mark Kermode once said the film is "otherwise good but ends on a bum note..."
but it's not the end of the movie, Eggsy finally gets his revenge on his step dad and saves his mom and sister
Everyone seems stuck on the Kingsman scene, but I want to thank you for including that scene from Ghostbusters. I have never liked that scene, it made no sense, and I always fast forward through it when I watch the movie. It makes a little more sense now that I know it was part of a deleted scene, but I question Akroyd's determination to include it. It seems like he was confusing ghosts with the succubus/incubus folklore. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up, somewhat
*SUCKubus*
naa there's a bunch of stories of people at least thinking they hooked up with ghosts that one singer ke$ha is one of em sad side note don't read on if you don't want a bummer but psychologists think most ghost sex and alien abduction stories are just the brain's way of dealing with rape known as date rape psychosis the brain will do whatever it can to make what happened less traumatizing such as tricking you into thinking you consented or replaces the perpetrator with something more fantastic as in the it's a literal fantasy sense also that singer has accused her former manager of lets say inappropriate behavior so that very much might fit the bill
Great. Now my cinnamon is all swirled.
Because cinnamon is the winna mon.
So ghosts won't have sex with me?
Isn't that whole scene with the princess butt sex supposed to just be a parody of the overt sexualization of Bond girls?
Doing the exact same thing is not really parody, though. Men getting some action out of a captured lady seconds after meeting her is literally how the scene goes, so Kingsman didn't really make a joke there.
My favorite one is Captain Blood (Erroll Flynn) kissing a princess that can't speak English just to make her shut up. She falls in love with him immediately. And this happens less than 5 minutes after freeing her from pirates.
Point is, Kingsman didn't transgress or cross any lines with that scene just because it's butt sex. They still played the scene straight. And it was funny, but Dan is right.
Trent Carroll might've been a parody had it been a dude offering, or something just a shade off of the usual. Maybe had she offered, then said, "Btw, I have the clap." Or something. Otherwise it's just replaying the same scenario. Like a nod to Bond movies for getting it right. Just my opinion.
It is a parody because of how extreme and blunt it is. Bond does this whole song and dance with inneundo and inappropriately timed 'love scenes'. This tears that down. He meets her, makes a joke about a kiss that immediately esculates. When we finally get to the sex instead of James Bond undressing her to soft music we get straight up ass fucking. Like a good parody when you break it down into basic elements it's doing the same thing, but when you actually watch it it's different.
+David That's why I brought up a movie from 1935 in my first post. Back then, "James Bond undressing her to soft music" wouln'd be done anywhere near a simple action flick. Nowadays, butt stuff (at least in movies) is not trangressive, because times change. Specially in a movie where they cut a guy in half during the first few minutes.
No, the display of sex is on par with the display of gore for this movie. Is it also taking the piss on overblown action scenes? Then why do we get like 10 minutes of Gallahad murdering people? Also a joke? No, not really. It's just that nowadays we do things more extremely than in James Bond's time. Both our killing and our sexing (in movies) is bigger and goes further.
So the violence is parody for you, too?
See, given how much Kingsman parodies and satirizes spy movies and their cliches (whilst also being a decent spy movie itself), I took the last scene to be deliberately making a comment on the "sex as reward" trope? Its going so far with it, princess + buttsex is the one of the rarest "rewards" you could get, but not only does it actually happen- the VERY LAST SHOT is getting ready to show the act itself. They don't even do the "winky face implication they totally did it in the butt guys"- they show us a shot that wouldn't be amiss in a POV porno intro. It plays the trope straight, then goes further with it, then goes EVEN FURTHER. It completely messes with the audience expectations, whilst also calling attention to the weirdness of the trope itself. I kinda love it.
Film Crit Hulk said the same thing in many more words. birthmoviesdeath.com/2015/07/17/film-crit-hulk-smash-kingsman-and-the-maybe-genius-of-non-winking-satire
I think that's the danger of parodying something that is pretty ridiculous already. Viewers can't differentiate your parody from the real thing. I've seen far dumber "sex as reward" examples in films and video games that take themselves seriously. So to really nail it, they should've come up with something even more inexplicable and over-the-top.
Why wouldn't you love it? It's a good butt..
TheLittleCauliflower
It's not a Trope. A hero always gets the butt. More so in real life.
I'd say it was poorly executed, even though I understand the intent and it could have had that effect, it just didn't come across as well as it might have
The ending of Kingsmen was simple. It was, "downright cheeky".
In the original “ the longest yard” the same thing happens! Caretaker went into Burt Reynolds cell to shut the light off and burned to death, but it was supposed to be Reynolds character that was supposed to get it
@@llcoolman8911 I wondered if he even knew that it was a remake.
Doc gets blown up in the British remake Mean Machine too.
Exactly, but they left that detail out of the remake, making the murder have practically no motivation. Would've been nice had they included this in the episode, but they probably didn't know. For some reason most people are unaware when a movie made within the last 40 years is a remake save a few exceptions.
Yeah I mean, even if you don't know about the remake that scene fits perfectly well in the movie and makes sense, it's not that hard to get it, I think this guy didn't even watch that movie.
@@seandobbins2231 They didn't leave it out, in the remake it's known that the bomb was for Adam Sandler
Caretaker burning alive was in the original.
Yeah I was scanning through the comments looking for someone besides myself who knew that. This was a remake. That scene was not Adam Sandler's idea. Honestly I thought Caretaker getting killed added some real impact to the final act. "Let's do this for Caretaker!" Great episode though Daniel.
Also, the whole reason people in prison hate Paul Crewe is because he threw games. He was told if he didn't throw the game, Caretaker's murder would be blamed on him. Caretaker dying shows character development in two ways: 1) He is able to show real compassion for someone other than himself 2) He understands that there are things more important than winning. Caretaker's death was completely plot necessary.
I can't believe how many "but he deserved butt sex" comments I had to scroll past to find the first comment that matters.
I didn't actually know that. But that aside, I still thought it was an important part of the movie. Not great, but needed. The plot was for the guards to hurt AS's character, and they got the wrong guy. They could have just SAID that it happened, and kept the film visually the same, but I feel like they kind of had to show it so the audience would believe it more. And as an event itself, it closed the second act by galvanizing the team against the guards and showing the lengths the guards will go to.
It's obvious he never saw the original movie.
The Kingsman scene was actually a parody of an end scene of one of the Pierce Brosnan James Bond movies. The whole movie was sort of a satire/parody of the old James Bond style of movies.
it's a parody of the ending to many Bond movies. They commonly end in that fashion.
He probably knows that. He's Daniel. Assume he knows.
That doesn't really refute his point, though. He was saying this thing that the joke is about is fucked up and leads to bad things in society, not that the joke wasn't a joke. He even said this is the cartoonish extreme of the thing he was talking about, but the thing is still real, of course.
That's kind of a lame defense. It's already a bit of a joke in Bond films and this is honestly no different except for the language being just slightly more graphic. If you're going to parody something, it's needs to be over the top to the point that it's showing how stupid the original is. This is really just repeating what the Bond films do with nothing added to make it funnier or to highlight the ridiculousness of the scene.
Kingsman is just one huge piss take out of Bond, they even reference it in the film so the ending scene is just one last piss take, nothing more than that
But unlike in Kingsman, the Bond Girl who sleeps with Bond isn't someone he just met moments before and only for a couple of seconds. Bond and the main Bondgirl usually spend a great part of the movie to get to know each other. The sex is not just a reward.
In Kingsman he met her only once before for a couple of seconds.
Warning: This comment is really long.
I also thought that the anal sex scene in Kingsman was weirdly placed. On the one (very remote hand) its interesting for the fact that the woman brought it up instead of being coerced by her rescuer, but that pales in comparison to all the points DOB brought up about the sex-as-reward trope (that only ever seems to work to the guy's benefit, but that's a whole other kettle of fish).
From the perspective of context within the film, though, it also doesn't make any sense. It's completely atonal for the character of Eggsy, who went through an intense boot camp with an attractive blonde badass named Roxy and never once did he (or in fact anyone else, including the poncy jerks who washed out) objectify her in anyway or imply she wasn't up to snuff because she was a woman. He is a sweet kid with a rough life who cares about his mother and little sister so much he asked Roxy to call them and make them take precautions to save themselves when the evil plan was enacted and he thought he was going to get gunned down by cronies. And now this same kid discovers a kidnapped princess in a cell in a remote mountain base of an evil maniac and jokes that her release is contingent on her giving him a kiss? No, sorry, that does not sound like the character we have spent all this time with. And the scene when he actually takes her up on her offer? Here's a few other things currently happening:
Roxy, who launched herself into the stratosphere by retired tech from the Reagan years and freefalled all the way back to earth, is currently abandoned on the frozen tundra awaiting a pick up from the only two Kingsman who are alive/aware of what happened. His mother and sister and best friends whom we meet earlier in the film do live, but Eggsy has no way of knowing that, since the sim cards were active for several minutes and we see his mother come within seconds of stabbing his little sister to death with a kitchen knife before he defeats the baddie and saves (most of) the world. Also, there's a ton of other people in those other cells, having no clue what just happened, if the world has torn itself to pieces and whether any of their loved ones still exist. Also, Eggsy earlier watched not only just a literal ton of people get their heads blown off, but he is also a newly minted killer and only hours earlier saw his mentor get shot in the head from his mentor's perspective through the Kingsman glasses. Maybe adrenaline could fix any of that and give him a boner, but anal sex requires a lot of prep work and I doubt he would be able to keep that chemical high long enough to get her ready to go before he crashed and probably went into shock. Also on the topic of prep, did he do any? Were there condoms and lube in those cells? Hard to believe there would be.
I get its supposed to be an homage to the Bond films that end with Bond shagging some leggy blonde, and this film had already firmly friend-zoned Eggsy and Roxy so he "needed" to bang some other leggy blonde, but since it comes at the very end between two characters who had never met, it feels incredibly forced and awkward (not to mention incredibly dubious, the princess doesn't even get to leave her goddamn cell first) in what is otherwise an awesome, very well-executed movie. So it bothers me. A lot, apparently.
Grace .
Slowly back away from the meth pipe
Actually, post-battle, people do get horny. It's a pretty well known phenomenon, you can look it up. As far as the type of sex, prep time for anal is entirely relative to experience and given she brought it up, she is probably pretty experienced in it. As for the rest, you are REALLY over thinking it.
This isn't as long as I thought it would be lol
You're right! A sweet kid MADE A JOKE?!?!?!?!? COMPLETELY out of left field for a hoodlum like this to. . . to make JOKES! And he made a joke about a WOMAN?!?! Fifty percent of the population? How DARE he treat her like he would treat anyone else. It's just insane!
If there's one thing that I would agree with the death penalty for, it's making a light, flirtatious joke. That is the absolute PEAK of human villainy, for sure.
I clicked on this video thinking "If this takes more than 5 minutes to talk about their 3 points I'm going to watch something else."
Then I saw it was DOB. 10:43 isn't long enough.
"Busting feels good indeed." *dead* 🤣🤣🤣
Well, to be fair, the sex scene in Kingsman is meant to be a parody to all James Bond films where the spy always ends up banging a chick somewhere or at the end of the movie after he defeats the villain. I don't think the director intended the sex scene to be what you had explain in the video.
Yeah, Kingsman is a clear riff on classic Bond movies and the agent-gets-caught-having-sex-at-the-end is a staple ripe for mocking. They were still doing it when Brosnan was Bond and that was only... oh, man, I feel old now.
Skoardy Lol.
Skoardy... yes and stale fare at that. Austin Powers parodied Bond as pure comedy, while the other JB (Jason Borne) went the pure action route. Much more entertaining when Connery said "Another time... (glancing at woman's lower body), another place" than juvenile overt references. Kingsman was much less entertaining than Spy.
Heatwave619 exactly! this is the joke. ive listened to crackeds podcast where all the guys talk about this scene and how its so out of place, while it really isnt. im really surprised these comedians didnt figure this one out :).
Heatwave619 When it comes to delivering messages, the author's intent doesn't really matter. That's not to say that the director is a jerk or that the scene wasn't funny. But the text stands on its own, and it does perpetuate an ugly trope.
Dude, dead on on the first two, especially Kingsmen. However, The Longest Yard is a remake and the death of Caretaker is, indeed, central to the plot.
Well ...Bully for you, sir!
I agree with you on this. But I think it would be more realistic if they killed him off by getting shanked. The fier bomb was way over the top.
@@pmmp855 Again, it's a remake of the original and Caretaker was burned to death in that movie too. The person that kills him is in prison for killing people by burning them to death!!!
@kevin willems It's a remake of "The Longest Yard" in which Burt Reynolds played the QB. The guy who murders Caretaker is an arsonist. The warden uses the threat of pinning the murder on Crew to get Crew to throw the game. That's the point of the scene in an otherwise dark comedy.
@kevin willems the more you know lol
Shaun of the Dead doesn't get enough credit for resurrecting the zombie genre.
Loved Shaun of the dead but I would have said that 28 days later would have reinvigorated the zombie genre. Until 28 days later Zombies were never really threatening being slow, stumbling, and bumbling... Shaun of the dead itself parodies this in many of its scenes.
I'd say it was more a combination of 28 days later & Resident Evil that resurrected the Zombie genre, as in the same year 2 very different approaches to portraying zombies getting reasonable success showed studios that it's worth the risk.
Chalky and on top of that the dawn of the dead remake was pretty big at the time
For the "Ghostbusters" scene, I always just thought the context was they were so busy busting ghosts that even their sex dreams were now ghost-oriented.
The part of kingsman I love is the awkward scene they didn't film, where Merlin has to go and let them out. To ensure privacy, the door and hatch are closed. That door will auto lock. Both can only be opened from outside. With the hatch open he could have reached through to enter the code himself, if he remembered it.
Regarding the Chris Rock bit. The same character was burned alive during original Longest Yard so the question is why didn't they use the same rational for why if they were going to keep the fire-death.
Yeah, this. There was a reason in the original that made sense within the narrative.
In the remake Unger does actually ask Crewe if he could be on the team and Crewe says “No”, but it is more clear in the original. The remake made it seem like Unger thought it was reasonable to kill Crewe for the guards which is weird but Caretaker dying I think over shadows that hit and most importantly keeps the movie in line for a remake IMO
My favorite part of these videos is Dan saying bye with the tone of someone wanting to say "why are you still here?"
Yes commentators, everyone on the face of the planet can tell that the Kingsmen scene is a parody of bond girls. That fact sill doesn't change anything that Dan said about it.
Sach966 or that there were non buttsex ways of portraying it or putting it in with more context than her just being we can do my butthole
THANK YOU. it's still gross, it's more of a sexist parody than a parody of sexism.
Is it really sexist though? Eggsy didn't ask her for sex, only a kiss. She offered sex and was very quick to have sex with him when he returned. Ahe has shown herself to be a very strong willed woman because turned down the offer that had her in prison in the first place when many people didn't. A strong woman chose to have sex with an attractive guy and initiate it on her terms. Isn't this the apex of true women's equality?
Here's a thought: women have agency.
Nathan Christie exactly my thought. And [spoilers] she didn't do it only as a reward for saving her or else they wouldn't be dating in the second movie. That is proof that she actually found him attractive. She even married the guy! If anything I think the second movie was more offensive with the tracking device thing.
Maybe someone should have told him that The Longest Yard was a remake.
He clearly says that Sandler remade a prison movie
The original is a classis and ufvcontext was needed he should have at least mentioned it, the fact that Burt was there is a Homage to the first one, which also explains the burning murder if the leads friend.
the aggressive 'Bye?' at the ends of these episodes is most of the reason why I love this series
“Noooo! Don’t do that, in your awesome ghostbuster movie” 😂
YAY I love obsessive pop culture disorder!! I really enjoy this series
Thanks!
+Dan Howard Wow.
Nice comback fuckard.
+Dan Howard Wasn't a comeback. Simply an observation at your blatant assholerly
When you are so lonely that you lash out at random internet goers merely expressing their joy... Who hurt you?
Daniel O'Brien I love your comedy and this show. Please never stop.
I absolutely agree with all of the things said about Kingsman and that the entire situation is rather toxic, though, I took it as an attempt (if not executed perfectly) at further satirizing bond and other spy movies with the general womanising that happens in those. Makes it a bit more bearable.
I was taking a script writing class when Kingsman came out. The scene goes to the overall theme that it is not the station in life you were born, but your actions which make you Noble. This is supported by scenes such as when Colin Firth's character beats the crap out of the thugs at the pub, which Eggsy later repeated (Manners maketh the man), and the tension between Arthur and Galahad over only nominating people of aristocratic families for the Kingman
I understand why a person who makes comedy stuff would want to not have to break the flow to make a serious point but hot damn so I appreciate it and make sure to watch every episode (probably multiple time)
Woah hey man, small world
I'd like to point out that sexualized hallucinations due to sleep paralysis (which many people mistake for paranormal experiences) are actually EXTREMELY common. Also usually scary and feel like rape, but YES, extremely common.
Ravyn Skye there are wet nightmares?
D. Barton sadly yes
"An undeniable rare sexual event, for at least TWO reasons." God I love you Danno
even if it was a parody of bond, James bond almost always got to know the ladies he had sex with and there was always something leading up to it. SOMETHING..this is saying u not only get rewarded with sex by being the good guy, (which isn't why James bind would get laid, he knew how to charm women). In this scene they have the women literally degrating herself (tho she wants it in the movie) it's obviously something overtly sexual that YES should've been left out, and btw its so unrealistic. "if u give me a kiss" he says. "wanna have butt sex" lol...obviously a guy wrote that and didn't even take enough time to give the princess a personality or any reason to want to have butt sex with a total stranger.
Why is she „degrading“ herself by offering to have sex with someone? Are the puritans back? Are women not allowed to openly want and enjoy sex anymore?
A bizarre scene which really annoyed me was in the movie The Judge where Robert Downey Jr made out with a girl at a bar who was possibly his daughter but then turned out to be his nephew because his brother had sex with his old girlfriend. The scene added nothing to the film just cringe and it created a rather awkward subplot which really took away from the movie.
Hi, Daniel. Since you're what the bible was based on, I was wondering if you could explain the bit about Samson bringing a goat into the bedroom in Judges 15:1?
Baron von Quiply Goats have horns, wife was horny
Baron von Quiply Aberforth Dumbledore had a thing with goats
I think the goat is a gift or food for his visit, kinda like today you might bring flowers or chocolate.
The goat likes to watch.
At that time people would use a goat to feed bedbugs before using the bed so they wouldn't bite them well they slept. Or maybe it's a fetish but more than likely the first one.
As soon as I saw kingmen in the thumbnail I knew it was going to be the butt sex scene. That scene was so weird, all of the stuff about it being problematic aside (although I completely agree with what you said), it just doesn't work in the film. It breaks the pacing and makes no sense. It also sucks because it's literally the very last scene, so this great movie ends with you having a sour taste in your mouth. Also, other people have said this already, but Chris Rock's character in the longest yard died in the original movie that it was based on, and I think probably the original had a little more justification for it.
„breaks the pacing“?
The movie is over by that point. What are you talking about?
„problematic“
Man, I love seeing that word.
I was down with the whole sex with princess thing at the end only because that's how just about every James Bond movie ended and Kingsman was more or less a James Bond parody.
The Chris Rock scene happened because this movie is a remake (starring Burt Reynolds) and the equivalent character was burned alive in the original (in the original, it was a lightbulb rigged to catch fire, which is why in the remake there is a focus on Chris Rock turning on the light before he turns off the radio causing the explosion). The character setting up the explosives almost compares to Ephialtes (the misshapen character) in 300, seeking revenge for a perceived exclusion. Not disagreeing that the scene is bizarre, but it's not totally out of left field.
Jared Linna THANK YOU
Guess they might want to reconsider the "obsessive" part of the title.
The sex as a reward thing is even worse because at least half of them are as a reward for saving them from rape. Like wtf. What sane person would thinkthat would be a thing that could ever, EVER, happen.
movies are fantasy, they are not supposed to be take seriously. In real life cars don't explode when shot, the good guy almost never wins, guns don't have infinite ammo, you can't enhance a photos and it magically becomes clear,etc
I could literally go on for at least one thousand thing moves contently do that are not realistic.
I like movies because real is boring.
Themes and meaning are real though. They drive a story. Even "stupid movies" carry within them a "moral to the story". That's how narrative works.
shadowmasterp much of cracked, if you go to their site, is deconstructing the effects of media on our conceptions of reality. Of course it's just a film, but the media we consume defends and promotes certain ideals. On the simple end, if you've never touched/fired a gun your knowledge of guns will most likely come from movies. The thing is, movies are mostly very bad at guns. Sounds, weight, operation, etc. It's fantasy. BUT we think we "get it" the kings man thing is only slightly more complicated
Most morals of the story don't hold up in real life either. "work hard and you'll get ahead", sure works for about 5% of people the rest just meet people who were already ahead in life and kissed up to them or did something immoral and got away with it. "slow and steady wins the race" not if you in a competitive environment.
"the nice guy get the girl" until she get bored or meets someone with a seven figure income. "the nice girl get the guy" until she gets old.
life is ugly and full of contradictions the older you get the more you come to realize that.
Maybe i'm giving people to much credit but after seeing a movie, then trying some of the thing you see, then figuring out they don't work, most of us come to realize that movie, books, cartoons, etc cant be used as a reliable source of information.
i figured it out when i was about 10. then i started going to my mom and dad and asking the questions i had. Most of my friend learned when they started dating girls. the only ones i find myself reminding this to is my 6yo niece. funny thing is she doesn't believe me.
I love Daniel's little, "Bye." :)
Yay! More OPCD! And you completely nailed the issue I had with the ending of Kingsman. Yes, it was a joke. Yes, it's parodying how Bond films have a reputation for ending with him getting to have sex with the Bond Woman of the Week. I could see it for what it was the first time I saw it in theatres and yet that scene still felt really out of place. If they wanted to mock the trope rather than just perpetuate it, then I feel like the joke would have landed better if he assumed he was going to get his obligatory congratulatory bang only to be denied in a humorous way. The way they did it just fell flat in terms of humor for me because the "punchline" was too predictable. Still loved the movie, but it did take the wind out of my sails a bit by the time the credits rolled.
Damn, Kingsman was good...
Silas Lancashire yeah
Kingsmen had a lot of cool details (chic with sword leg prosthetics) but I really was disturbed how the story had Eggs struggle over the command to shoot his puppy dog companion while the girl actually DID shoot hers (fucking selfish bitch) to stay in the Kingsmen (even though there were blanks in the guns)... Eggs didn't go through with it but he actually considered it and pointed his gun at the puppy... the movie was pretty heartless and I didn't give a shit about any of the characters either way.
An Evolving Ape
It's. A. Fucking. Dog.
And not even one that the two characters had even grew up with, they had them for like a month each tops. They're fucking animals. The real "selfish bitch"(really?) would be someone who lets their infantile emotional connection to an animal keep them from saving millions maybe billions of human lives.
An Evolving Ape You're talking about a movie where the whole plot is about joining a secret organization that gives people the license to kill. In some cases, this organization will order its agents to kill former colleagues who've gone rogue. The dogs were meant to be a rough approximation of that internal conflict. If it felt uncomfortable, it's because it was supposed to. That's hardly a fault of the movie.
An Evolving Ape wtf are you talking about? the entire film Eggsy avoids harming animals, it was established that to be a kingsman you need to go to any lengths, whilst he was given grief in the film about not shooting the dog, but Christ, it's clear that audience should side with Eggsy
Just a comment, a Swedish princess has essentially 0 political power
I thought that was weird too.
„She has a country to run“
Which one? Cause it‘s not sweden.
That's why she offered but sex cause she has nothing else to give
Lmao its too true
Also, like, a woman offerring consensual butt-sex (so it indicates it's something she likes to do, since it was her first offer), isn't the same as the man saying, "If you want me to free you, you'll need to bend over." I think we're meant to take him asking for a kiss as a joke, and assume Eggsy will still free her no matter what after saving the world
If it makes you feel better, Dan, Eggsy and Princess Tilde are now in a happy committed relationship
I also love the fact that the Princess is HIS ONLY LOVE INTEREST. He MARRIES her in the sequel. The END of the sequel.
As in they have a legitimate relationship for the entirety of the second. Even going against the weird seduction stuff secret agents do because he's COMMITTED to her.
"That didnt happen in Mr. Deeds, Big Daddy, or Wedding Singer...probably" 1st: probably? 2nd: it did happen in the original Longest Yard.
Right when I was about to unsubscribe from this channel, you guys went and uploaded an OPD video. You sure know how to please a man.
I still get these videos recommended even though I unsubbed months ago...
Much like the blowjob ghost...
Naked Mongoose *OPCD :P
OPCD and After Hours are the main reason I'm here
yeah and I like anything with swaim and his escort missions
The funny thing about the ghost fellatio scene is that it actually *does* make sense to me. Every time I've worked a stressful job (specifically, one where I sleep in close proximity to a bunch of other guys while still technically *at* work), I've started having _vivid_ but incomprehensible dreams about the job. A few got sexual. But usually it was just yelling at deer trying to cut in line.
I love DOB's delivery in his videos. Thank you, you beautiful lunatic
Well, in Kingsman 2, Eggsy and the princess (Tildy) are in a relationship.
(Edit) So it had a kind of purpose
You're a good man, DOB
Mo Gillis meh
Funny story...I'm 33 years old and i have watched Ghostbusters 1 and 2 my entire life. However, the only copy of Ghostbusters I ever owned was one that was copied on a vhs when it was aired on TV when i was younger. I watched that tape my entire childhood and a good portion of my teenage days. Years go by and I decided to pick up the Ghostbusters 2 for 1 DVD in the Walmart $5 bin. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I even knew about the ghost BJ scene. Talk about a hidden gem lol
The part of Chris Rock as caretaker getting killed was an important part of the movie. It was the leverage the warden had over Adam Sandler to make him throw the game. Also, it was in the original, something Mr. O'Brien doesn't mention, this movie being a remake.
Agree wholeheartedly on the Kingsman buttsex scene. I know most people defend it saying, "It's a James Bond reference." but I don't buy that as the entire rest of the movie makes clear (and even says flatout) "This ain't that kind of movie."
It was just such an out-of-place scene in an otherwise good film, and if you factor in the ethical problems that Daniel brought up, it makes it even harder to watch.
kradeiz I had such a hard time with her use of the word "asshole". I'm not offended by that word in the least, but she's supposed to be a princess, right? They tend to have at least a facade of class.
Yes but even saying “this ain’t that kind of movie” is constantly referencing Bond. The whole movie takes jabs at Bond films.
"It's not that kind of movie". What kind of movie? No, it's not a "Bond-style movie" in the sense it's not a thriller/serious movie. It's a satire/non-serious movie. But! But... But it takes a lot of spy movies tropes and put them in a non-sensical context to make a laugh.
The movie is not saying "we do this because James Bond did it". It says "James Bond gets sex in the regular with hot chicks because reasons and because he saves the world, we're taking that trope and stretch it to infinity, now there, enjoy your satire!".
Clueless people are clueless.
„Ethical problems“
And we‘re back in victorian times, when people had to be protected from all this media that perpetuates sinfull behavior and lude conduct. Come on. It‘s a joke about a princess offering anal sex. Of her own free will. Don‘t make this a moral conflict
Ugh SO true about the Kingsmen scenes. Loved the movie, but that was the dumbest couple of scenes ever. They mentally took you out of the plot and away from the characters, making the movie feel like some horny teenagers fantasy. I can't roll my eyes hard enough. I get that it's supposed to be funny/a bit of a parody. But to me, the "joke" felt really cheap and didn't land as well as some other spy jokes.
Brandi Nichole yeah totally, like I get the joke and it could've been cute if she'd said something princessy like "it would be an honor" or"..well, I could Knight you?" But they way they did it felt cheap and unrealistic and juvenile.
Now when i think about it it was bit weird but it was such a fun action comedy that i didnt really care about it too much.
I was really surprised when I heard about how (excuse the pun) butthurt people were about that scene. I thought it was kind of funny, more the „laugh out loud because it‘s shocking and unexpected“, and less the „laugh because it‘s cleverly thought out“ kind of joke, but I didn‘t think it was out of place or didn‘t fit the tone. And I REALLY can‘t stand when people talk about this „perpetuating a toxic mindset“ or whatever. I mean, the movie is pretty clever, with how everything used in an action scene is seen or used beforehand, to how the main conflict is an interesting moral concept (the greater good and so on), to the awesome cinematography in the action scenes, but all I hear people discuss is the butt scene. But what did I expect?
I haven't seen it, but the only way it could work is if it WAS Eggsy's fantasy.
Maybe it way over the top there as a hint that the whole thing was his fantasy.
Bodyguards with sword legs? Maybe. But saving the world on your birthday and getting to anally bang a princess held prisoner like he was Mario?
I am thinking it was all his fantasy and I haven't even seen it.
Which if this is the case I expect a retraction from Cracked because that would make it kinda cool.
Kinda like how people thought American Psycho was all his dream because the ATM told him to kill a cat.
Only that wasn't intentionally done to make the viewers aware it was all just a dream, maybe this was.
Maybe becouse its clearly (as much of the film is) a parody of the old James Bond films at the end of the old Bond film James invariably ends up in the sack with the leading lady.
**calls my mom @ 3 am** hey hi a guy on the internet said to call and say i love you
I really wish they still made the OPCD videos. Definitely my favorite videos from Cracked.
obsessive pop culture is the best show on this channel!
Sick burn dude! Savage!
Lol totally was serious though
me too.
get it..if this is the best thing this channel has to offer it must be an awful channel.
Fun fact about the princess scene they said it was a farce on bond films because of .... You know
This is slowly becoming one of my absolute favorite CHANNELS!!!!!!!!
..........and by slowly I mean it's been about 4 hours since I started watching and it's now 8:59 A.M. lol....
Just wow. this show is just awesome and points out all the crazy and weird things that only people like us notice in movies and the like. Why is that you ask?
BECAUSE WE'RE TOTALLY AWESOME!
THANKS AGAIN!!!!
Dan speaks like someone's actually doing him while at work
I absolutely hate that scene in Kingsman
Cindi Gonzalez why if I may ask
Why
The sequel had a worse one
I t s a f u c k i n g j o k e
Now I know why your BF absolutely hates you.
I want to see another spit take from uncle jack
The worst thing about Kingsmen is how difficult it is to get an uncut version of the movie outside of the US. Every version I've seen since I watched it in the cinema is missing either the church scene, the princess seen or both.
thank you for chewing out that scene in kingsman. kingsman is one of my favorite movies but that scene drives me up the wall.
The kinsman scene is at the extreme end of the spectrum because its a spoof so it's accuntuating the bond gets the girl trope to show how ridiculous it is. Its just irony
That ending! 5 Stars
I agree. No intros. We are multitaskers with short attentions spans in this century whaterver number I lost track in 1999.
No more intros
Dan, I love you man! The ending notes are one of my favorite things from your episodes.
TOTALLY AGREE, Kingsman was otherwise so good and I found that scene utterly jarring. like can we not grow out of the "princess as reward" trope already? combining it with "sex as reward" doesn't make it new and edgy, just doubly hackneyed.
Found another RedPill, guys
Honestly, who gives a shit? People just need to be offended by something i guess. Who cares that he murdered a bunch of people in a church, there was an implied buttsex scene! AN IMPLIED BUTTSEX SCENE!!! The horror!
Also going into movies like this expecting "lessons" is silly in itself but whatever.
Isnt it basically just a reference to the misogyny and that sort of thing happening in james bond? Also love the above comment about the lack of the complaint of the insane overviolence on screen vs the implied buttsex lol... and he still brings her champagne so he's still grateful even though he's just saved the world :p
Actually the buttsex scene was a farce on bond
It’s satire.
No, but it happened in the original movie The Longest Yard is based on because it's a botched attempt to kill the protagonist but instead kills his buddy. Don't be lazy! Find another movie where the context doesn't make sense.
Thank you! I knew someone out there would say it! It's not just some random scene where they decide to kill someone haha
Bunny Cop I haven't seen the original. how much of the original movie was kept in the Adam Sandler version?
Danielle Ellis... the original was a very dramatic and memorable film. All the more reason to avoid the man-child Adam Sandler version.
Bunny Cop did you forget about ghostbusters? It's on this list because there is no context in the film about it. If you seen the originals, you have your context. Ghostbusters is on this list because a couple scenes got cut out (aka the context) and the scene makes no sense without it.
also even in the Adam Sandler version it did have an impact. The warden tries to black mail the main character by threatening to pin his death on him.
Kingsman isn't just a wacky action movie. It's also a satirical pisstake of the entire spy thriller genre. The anal scene is one of the hardest hitting commentaries, because it reduces the entirely-too-widespread "hero always gets the girl" trope to the utterly bizarre. So, looks like it worked. You'll never look at any rendition of the "kiss after the big fight" trope the same way ever again.
I fucking adore the endplate jokes so much! Please keep it coming man, I always look forward to this series.
The wrinkle above Daniel's shoulders is annoying me.
Good to see a new episode.
Was worried for a second there.
Now we need After the Trump.😁
Honestly never noticed the Napoleon costume until just now.
please don't ever stop making these. thank you that is all
best show on cracked.
Thank you for addressing the problem with combining doing good deeds with deserving sex. I love Kingsmen but that was such a HORRIBLE problem.
Nah it was actually pretty funny
Katie Gould I think you missed the point of the movie
If you pay attention, you'll see that the scene does exactly that. It's self aware. That's how satire works. It uses tropes and blows them out of proportion to a degree where we have to face them.
Austin Richardson No, I didn't, but thanks for the input!
Katie Gould Let me ask you Katie, do you find yourself more often having sex with guys that do things for you, or guys that could care less about helping you. All sex is payment for some type of resource. Whether it is money or actions or emotional support. Even casual sex is a reciprocitous exchange, it is just that woman only find about 20% of men attractive enough for this to be a worthwhile exchange.
Katie Gould apart from being 'remixed for young' bond parody part, after life and death situations ( like being held captive and the fate of the world at stake) can and DO lead to a response that is sexual in nature, sometimes.
you guys really need to get these episodes more often opcd is the best content cracked has to offer and it's the only reason I'm subscribed
You said everything that I've been feeling for so long about Ghostbusters and Kingsman
I once saved a baby bird and mama bird was very gracious towards me ;)
jk... I never saved a bird... but I still fucked a pigeon
You're not the hero we need, but you're the hero we deserve.
Fuck you're the hero I need waking up is hard enough
just here mourning cracked
I have never seen a suit fit as poorly as the one OBrian is wearing here. It’s the funniest part of this video.
In the original Longest Yard , Caretaker is killed in a cell fire by a crazy convict who wanted to be manager of the team by becoming his victim's replacement. This murder was also used by the warden to blackmail "The Burt" into throwing the game. They did not develop this in the remake or it was cut out thus having a fairly large hole the the story.
I haven't seen Kingsman, but it actually doesn't really surprise me? Isn't this a James Bond type movie? Nobody ever complains about how that sort of thing happens in those movies, and it's always bothered me. Like, everything that you said negatively about rewarding the main character with a human-being to bang is true of literally every Bond film multiple times over.
Plenty of people have complained about "Bond getting the girl". Sean Connery is known as the most rapey Bond of them all. In one movie he even forces himself on a lesbian, and of course, turns her straight with his raw masculinity and dominant sex practices.
Exactly!! Its a play on that trope and they try to outdo them by bringing in a swedish princess lol The arsehole thing is just a different sense of humour. He's hating for no reason.
In one of the latest bond films daniel craig gets extremely rapey with someone who's basically been kept as a sex slave for years, yet people get annoyed about a bond parody having implicit buttsex which is specifically confirmed as consensual... after two showings of explicit hyperviolence not to mention the usual bondesque gun/sword battles lol
You know it's entirely possible to not like either of these things right? It's not an "us vs them" mentality for everything.
Yes Jeff, thank you for your patronizing comments and reminding us of how a discussion goes. This is as civil a discussion as I ever saw online and we're merely passionate about our views. Also, google "Sean Connery on hitting women" and "false equivalence"
I haven't watched the video, but I bet its the scene in ghostbusters when he has a wet-ghost-dream right?
Yep. Thats what I thought
OPCD and After Hours are pretty much all I watch from Cracked. But y'all are awesome. Keep it up.
As soon as I saw Kingsman was in the video I thought "oh I hope it's that buttsex thing." I'm completely with Dan. If it was supposed to be satire, it doesn't work, and the end result is that a lot of Niceguys will see the movie as reinforcing their own "I do nice things for girls so they owe me sex/a relationship" misconceptions. You never want to feed into that.
Thank you for addressing such an important topic. As a woman, even now, if I said anything even remotely criticizing scenarios where any woman used sex as a reward I would be attacked unmercifully. Until more real men like you stand up and publicly (AND privately) renounce this inappropriate male behavior that makes women feel pressure in our everyday lives, it will continue.
I thought that part in Kingsman was hilarious
It's almost like you understand comedy and parody.
You had me on Kingsmen at Samuel L Jackson with a lisp.
Obsessive Pop Culture is seriously the only thing I look forward to on TH-cam!
