@@Regular_Everyday_Normal_MF Same here, we watch the first 2 Home Alone movies, Polar Express and The Snowman every Christmas as a family. Can't wait for the holiday season this year!
I love how he’s utterly in Kevin’s corner. Makes sense through. Kevin’s near lethal defences are the kinds of thing Nerd Explain would actually employ to murder the heck out of anyone that tries to rob him.
yeah but what makes this movie so great is where does Kevin come up with these ideas? cause many of these ideas took a whole lot of creative thinking when you think about it
@@MarkSamurai5 no they are not stupid but they are inexperienced and Kevin does not have the internet to draw upon for info that is what I am getting at as to where does he get the ideas from cause in that time for that movie where does he get the ideas for those traps and such who taught him about the things he needed to know to make such great traps in that movie cause that requires a lot of knowledge that is all
@@MarkSamurai5 if I had to guess C's probably but keep his age in mind how much did they teach him about traps by his age probably was not on the top of the teachers list of thing to teach him to be honest
For a kid his age, in a time where there was simply no easy access to information on how to make traps, polleys, what items of easy access you can use to kill, etc, he did great! In a few years he'll be making inverted beartraps like it was nothing!
He canonically grows up to invent home security systems. It's shown as an easter egg in the most recent installment of Home Alone (which was utter garbage btw)
Honestly I think that BB gun would've been enough for him to defend his home if he kept shooting them with that BB gun then they would've given up i mean who'd want to get shot continuously in the face and nuts? I sure as hell wouldn't I've been shot with a BB gun before and that shit hurts!
This was definitely a surprise. I did not expect you guys to do Home Alone, but I'm not complaining. A part of me was wondering if you would ever cover something like this, so I'm happy that you did. Good job and I cant wait for the next one.
Yeah. The home alone movies was everyone's childhood. But IMO its kinda pointless for nerd to make this video because Kevin kicked ass LOL but like you said I ain't complaining
If you interpret the bandits as normal people who only live because of movie magic, Kevin did quite well as he would definitely have killed them multiple times over. If you interpret them as some kind of alien/superhuman species who can endure heavy physical damage, he really should’ve stepped it up after the first few *definitely lethal* attacks didn’t do much. I’m thinking a fire poker through the skull might be effective
With how bulletproof they are, they can be two things: Characters in a kid's movie Jason-type Slashers. In the case of the first: he has nothing to really worry about, he is a kid. In the case of the second: he doesn't wanna REALLY piss them off or motivate them, trying to kill e.g. Jason never works and takes a few scoops out of your hourglass. But trying to slow him down means there's at least one more guy between the next meetup. And remember, you don't have to run faster than everybody, only the guy next to you.
funnily enough, there was a doctor that did a video on the injuries the wet bandits endured during the movie. amusingly kevin only would have killed them two times each. With shovel dude killing them one time each.
But how though? Earlier his family was mocking him bc he didn’t even know how to pack a suitcase and suddenly he’s jigsaw and McGyvers love child? Like HOW?
@@mixedawesomesauce8354 oh, shit parents all the way. How do you do it twice!? But just saying it’s an entertaining way to look at the story that I didn’t ever think about before. Though it does explain why the murder house in the sequel was way more dangerous.
@@bestibulizar6141 the real money came from the grand patriarch of the family. A Vietnam vet, Decorated general, now turned heroin smuggler. General McAllister from Lethal Weapon!
I think that the stair scene in Home Alone 2 is probably one of the best sequel scenes in any movie I've ever seen. Both parties adapted from the previous movie, and it still had some good twists, even though it was essentially the same scene.
I'm impressed that Kevin even respected their intelligence enough to think the exact same trap wouldn't work twice. Or I suppose he was just covering his bases and making sure to improve the lethality for round 2. It was honestly a great scene. Fun to see both sides building on what happened last time with some good twists.
Honestly a Yautja would be impressed by just how creative Kevin is, though it'd still kill him regardless. It would at least find him 'worthy' of remembering, but not worthy of being a trophy.
It dawned on me why Kevin was so quick in weaponizing the house with various traps. The reason is he's been envisioning doing this to his siblings and family after all the abuse and trauma he's gone through as the metaphorical punching bag. Every family with several siblings has one.
Just call the police. Kevin was a minor all alone. He could have ended it at any time but he wanted to kill them! He hunted them like animals because he enjoyed it!
this video is incredible because it's just "Maybe Kevin was able to handle them himself, but we need to talk about how he could kill them and bury them in the basement before the police can find out."
Nah, what he did was specifically listed in the Geneva Checklist as a warcrime. If he had added Legos he would've been tried for crimes against humanity.
Considering the wet bandits survived this stuff, leathal force was justified by the time they got in. The bb gun to the face and balls should have sent them running, if they continued after that kevin is in the right.
There is a movie called Agression Scale, which is pretty much more ruthless version of Home Alone. Kid that scored max score on aggression test meticulously hunts a bunch of killers that were sent for the money his father stole to start a new life far away with his psychopath son. Kid doesn't even say anything. There is blood, swearing, smart ideas how to hurt people with tools owned by every house. Movie went under the radar tho, highly underrated.
"Just because theres a kid in there doesn't mean that Ian McCollum isn't waiting around the corner to hem your ass with an MAS-49." Welp. I'm now broken due to excessive lung usage in laughing.
YES YES YES I love home alone. I don’t like videos much but this immediately got a like man. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time I also love how you put Kevin as a stone cold , bloodthirsty maniac. I love this channel
Okay, we need a round two video for the second home alone, somehow, the bandits escaped the house before that gas explosion, so Kevin needs to finish the job
@@kickinwinghotboi883 yessir, but of course that isn’t enough to thwart the young prodigy in training, and he tracks them down to New York, where they attempt another heist, but young dexter has there number, and they won’t survive a second time

This Christmas, Santa has updated his naughty list, and for these two bandits.. the lumps of coal they'll be getting has a name... And that name is Kevin McCallister. It's gonna be a bloodbath"
A good christmas classic. I didn't expect to see Home Alone on this channel, but I'm happy to see it. Now, while the movie is for fun and the bandits are on the dumb side, it is oddly interesting to think about on a more serious note.
I kinda hope Nerd Explains will do all the Home Alone Movies Huh... Well I certainly wasn't expecting this but I'm here for it, I feel like nobody has ever actually done something like this before...
Even though Home Alone 3 has completely new characters, it's still a classic and just as good. Now the fourth one is a different story. It has the characters like "Kevin" and "Buzz" but all of them are played by different actors, worse actors at that. It's such a shitty movie. I think they have a few more that I can't remember. Didn't they make one recently with a fat kid? Ok so yeah, I just googled it and in 2021 they made a movie called "Home Sweet Home Alone" and it has the same plot and storyline as the original Home Alone movies with McCauley Caulkin. And yeah they used a fat kid with glasses as the main character or the "Kevin" character
This is MY kind of video. Actually, I've been waiting to see if any modest to big production company decides they want to take on the insanely ingenious task of doing a complete remake of Home Alone with a full R (or possibly an NC17) rating. And I have to admit, the tagline mentioned here would work perfectly for the project- Home Alone: Junior Jigsaw.
@@kickinwinghotboi883 yep. The Corridor Digital guys did some VFX revisions (clips used in this video) to make an R-rated version, but it was just a few small clips. Still great though and definitely worth the watch
Fantastic. You referenced the excellent MAT-49 French 9mm SMG. You definitely do your homework. I can say that the only time I have heard anyone mention that weapon was on Forgotten Weapons hosted by Ian.
Plus he's eight years old. He shows an ungodly amount of prep and thought, but he is still eight. He isn't going to have known t otake everything into account like shortcuts.
Very good move to cover home alone, your content was covering some pretty generic flix recently and this is an amazing change of pace. I don't usually leave comments or lines but you earned this one bro
Honestly, considering this is the first movie thus the first time Kevin been left home alone, force to deal with bandits trying to break into his house; he did pretty well--especially for his age. It's the bandits that could learn a thing or two from Nerd Explains.
OMG! I’ve watched this movie every year on Christmas since it’s been out and I’ve never thought about the old man actually being a serial killer and training Kevin as his apprentice
In all seriousness, if anybody other than the wet bandits slipped on that ice there would be a huge lawsuit. And with a house that big you know they have money.
Huh, I'd expect this to be a little closer to December but that's no problem. I love every _How to Beat_ episode. The abundance of mannequins can be explained by Kate's job as a fashion designer. Why so many is another question. Maybe have 5, not 20.
Haven't watched the video but this is gonna be his toughest challenge yet. No Villain of any horror movie in the world could stand against the wet bandits.
Tbh I’d love to see a darker version of home alone, I know there are some similar things but nothing I’ve seen really encompasses how psychopathic the kid is
I love how several of the “what Kevin should have done” answers end up being almost exactly what was done in the second film. Would love a part 2 with Home Alone 2.
Classic Nerd Explains! 🤣🔥 Back to the old days. I like this style of delivery, funny ah 🔥🤣. You've been going hard at these lately. It's all welcome and appreciated, NE! 🔥
I love this episode. It kinda feels like you pulled out all of the stops and went extra brutal! Only problem is that you should have saved it for Christmas time for the algorithm lol
"How to beat the wet bandits" quickly turned into "how to beat Kevin" in narration - cause Kevin did a B+ effort here, nearly perfect until the upstairs bit with the spider and the very end.
I brought up the fact that Kevin is totally a sociopath to my aunt last Christmas while we were watching this, and he used the fact that the Harry and Marv were robbers as the excuse to really let out some anger issues he had towards his family, and she called me a Narcissist for it. Now, am I cracked, or is the, paraphrased, definition of a narcissist, someone who's overly obsessed with themself and thinks they are the best thing ever? Straight up, I hate how no matter how old one gets, the older people of the family still treat you like a child when it comes to intelligence. I was 27 when this happened, and yet my aunt treated me like i was 13 with the way she said that crap. Cuz like, she saw what i was saying as bullshit and not true, because nowhere in the movie does it ever SAY Kevin is a sociopath or anything like that. Um, hello, he's a little kid with a bunch of asshole relatives who treat him like dogshit. Just goes to show that since she was the middle child of my grandparents, she wasnt the one subjected to that kinda treatment
He isn’t a sociopath, he didn’t kidnap these people and trapped them in the house, they entered his house and could have ran for there lives at anytime, but they were so dead set at robbing him and later on killing him that they made Kevin using lethal force basically a necessity.
Something you didn't cover is that technically, setting traps like this is illegal, and the McCallisters would likely have to pay medical expenses, as in Katko v. Briney. It's a slightly grey area since Kevin was actually home, so the traps weren't technically unmanned, but it's still not the brightest idea. Tell the police that you overheard some people planning to rob your house that night, and if they won't send someone out to watch the house, watch the street and call as soon as you see them show up.
Kevin is simply just nerd explains with a Time Machine

This is one of my favorite videos from you guys! I think y'all would do a really good job with Home Alone 2 too!
Please do Home Alone 2 next, this is gold!
OMG! I’ve watched this movie every year on Christmas since it’s been out and I’ve never thought about the old man actually being a serial killer and training Kevin as his apprentice
By far the funniest one yet…. Literally in tears watching that… home alone 2 next PPPPPLLLLEEEAAASSSEEEE
The dialogue in this one was phenomenal, absolutely hilarious
In all seriousness, if anybody other than the wet bandits slipped on that ice there would be a huge lawsuit. And with a house that big you know they have money.
I don't think liability insurance wouldn't have even helped them with this one
If they made it out of that house at all
Huh, I'd expect this to be a little closer to December but that's no problem. I love every _How to Beat_ episode.
The abundance of mannequins can be explained by Kate's job as a fashion designer.
Why so many is another question. Maybe have 5, not 20.
Haven't watched the video but this is gonna be his toughest challenge yet. No Villain of any horror movie in the world could stand against the wet bandits.
I love how Nerd Explains makes it sound like Kevin is hiding some dark secret in the intro.
The image of Ian McCollum lighting up the wet bandits with a MAT49 absolutely killed me.
Truly, you are a man of culture.
Tbh I’d love to see a darker version of home alone, I know there are some similar things but nothing I’ve seen really encompasses how psychopathic the kid is
Same. I want them to make another home alone but very dark
Wasn't there already a movie where Macaulay Culkin was a serial killing kid?
Love the sarcasm on your videos. 🤣 🤣 love it. Hell in damn near added more sarcasm in my natural dialog
I love how he just gives the thieves more suggestions. You know they suck so bad 🤝🤣
God damm this video absolutly made my day, just amazing my dude, can't wait for part 2
The REAL question is not how to survive the bandits... It's how to survive Kevin, that Kid is as smart as Jigsaw
This was one of the best written episodes of recent. Keep up the good work
You should really do a reversed video like what you did with "the things". "How to beat McCallister's deadly gauntlets" would be a great video.
I’m so happy that you made this, Home Alone is one of my favorite movies of all time
The part about the personal injury lawyer killed me 😂
I love how several of the “what Kevin should have done” answers end up being almost exactly what was done in the second film.
Would love a part 2 with Home Alone 2.
I just love how you roast the characters like in the old videos
Keep up the good work✌🏼
Classic Nerd Explains! 🤣🔥 Back to the old days. I like this style of delivery, funny ah 🔥🤣.
You've been going hard at these lately. It's all welcome and appreciated, NE! 🔥
I love this episode. It kinda feels like you pulled out all of the stops and went extra brutal!
Only problem is that you should have saved it for Christmas time for the algorithm lol
"How to beat the wet bandits" quickly turned into "how to beat Kevin" in narration - cause Kevin did a B+ effort here, nearly perfect until the upstairs bit with the spider and the very end.
Just imagine Nerd Explains VS Kevin Mcallister... The ultimate fight of minds
Nerd Explains vs Cinema Summary vs BingeXpress
Damn, that’s a great change of genre and I love it!
This one was a really fun to watch. I can see why you couldn’t wait until the holidays to upload it
This channel is turning into a how to roast your enemies 101
Now this is the type of movie I want to see for this series! :D
I remember a top comment about asking you to cover this. Nice to see you actually listen to your community. That's refreshing.
I brought up the fact that Kevin is totally a sociopath to my aunt last Christmas while we were watching this, and he used the fact that the Harry and Marv were robbers as the excuse to really let out some anger issues he had towards his family, and she called me a Narcissist for it. Now, am I cracked, or is the, paraphrased, definition of a narcissist, someone who's overly obsessed with themself and thinks they are the best thing ever? Straight up, I hate how no matter how old one gets, the older people of the family still treat you like a child when it comes to intelligence. I was 27 when this happened, and yet my aunt treated me like i was 13 with the way she said that crap. Cuz like, she saw what i was saying as bullshit and not true, because nowhere in the movie does it ever SAY Kevin is a sociopath or anything like that. Um, hello, he's a little kid with a bunch of asshole relatives who treat him like dogshit. Just goes to show that since she was the middle child of my grandparents, she wasnt the one subjected to that kinda treatment
He isn’t a sociopath, he didn’t kidnap these people and trapped them in the house, they entered his house and could have ran for there lives at anytime, but they were so dead set at robbing him and later on killing him that they made Kevin using lethal force basically a necessity.
The thumbnail alone redefined my thoughts on this film.
Something you didn't cover is that technically, setting traps like this is illegal, and the McCallisters would likely have to pay medical expenses, as in Katko v. Briney. It's a slightly grey area since Kevin was actually home, so the traps weren't technically unmanned, but it's still not the brightest idea. Tell the police that you overheard some people planning to rob your house that night, and if they won't send someone out to watch the house, watch the street and call as soon as you see them show up.
Kevin is also 8 and can claim not understanding the potential damage. That would be a fun court case to watch though.
Can't wait for the home alone 2 analysis, some of those "traps" were definitely a level up from the first movie
Your right about that foster care statement. Nightmarish is one word for it.
"Jigsaw Junior" is quite possibly the best nickname for Kevin McCallister
I like to imagine that a few traps got left behind ending in some very unfortunate days for the Mccalister family.
Alright.... I'll say it.... That thumbnail is the best one 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 so far
