Shrek In The 2000’s: I love the Shrek movies, they’re hilarious! Shrek In The 2010’s: Shrek is love, Shrek is life. Shrek In The 2020’s: Bro did you see the new Puss In Boots movie? It’s a masterpiece!
For those that may know, the lead singer of Smash Mouth had passed away on labor day at the age of 56. He will always be remembered as an All Star that was the sharpest tool in the shed.
Once in my year 11 German class I said to my friend "Shrek ist lieben, Shrek ist leben." and the teacher overheard, looked like she was having a Vietnam flashback, then just says "Stop it-"
"Technically you're doing the assignment... but stop that." Also, I think I need to reconcile the fact that we live in an age where teachers understand meme culture now.
In my humble opinion there’s 2 shreks: the movie shrek, a mere man finding his place and maturing into the best version of himself, and shrek the meme, the embodiment of chaos the internet finds collective comfort in
In 2016, my parents got me tickets to Smashmouth as a graduation present. They were playing in some obscure suburb in my home state. I was only 14, but I had the time of my life. Everyone was drunk off their ass singing along, tossing onions and crowd-surfing a giant inflatable Shrek via moshpit. Smashmouth knew damn well people were there just because of the Shrek meme-and they loved it. They were fully in on it and had just as much fun as everyone partying alongside them. Rest in peace, Steve Harwell. I hope Shreaven is a swamp like no other.
I think the internet actually saved shrek, i dont think it would be such a popular and liked movie if it wasnt for the impact it had on meme culture. its continued its longevity thanks to the internet
@@Hamantha If you ask me, I think it was Shrek the Third was where things feel apart because Shrek 4 was actually good, but the damage had already been done by the time it came out.
I still don’t understand how the internet decide to ship Shadow and Shrek of all characters. Not even as friends, but a full on bromance, like what the hell man?
I wrote a shrek fanfic for standardized testing we had to take In high school. The teachers told us it didn’t matter since they changed the test from the year prior.
Reddit's wrong actually: Katzenberg wasn't fired, he was passed over for that promotion due to two major factors - how he handled the Robin Williams marketing situation during Aladdin, and the Black Friday Cut of Toy Story. That said, most of early DreamWorks REALLY looks like it was made specifically to spite or compete with Disney or Pixar, though I believe they started growing out of it around Kung Fu Panda. Edit: I can't believe I got a Displate ad when this video is being sponsored by it.
He was also denied promotion because he rushed into it WAY TOO QUICKLY after the tragic and untimely death of Frank Wells, the former holder of that position. Instead of reading the room and realizing it would be best to respect the dead for a moment, he ended up looking like he was slobbering over a higher position and couldn't wait for the role to be vacated.
Thanks to Schaffrilas Productions, it has gotten more respect. I agree with what he said, which was that Shrek 1, 2, and 4 were very good. But Shrek 3 damaged the franchise in a way it can never recover from.
I can see why Dreamworks waited until recently to go along with Shrek 5. The internet probably gave the company more attention and money than they ever thought. Regardless if said attention is good or not.
Shrek has rebound from genuine enjoyment to ironic enjoyment and back to genuine enjoyment. When you take the memes and 4chan out of the equation, the first two Shrek films are genuine masterpieces of animation.
@@memecliparchives2254 I would, but I have not seen that film in a VERY long time, so I cannot comment on whether or not it deserves to resurge in popularity.
Katzenberg really did make Dreamworks out of spite. What happened between Katz and Einsner was really dark. As they were fighting for the seat of a guy who died in a helicopter accident.
@@alysssabear There are videos on TH-cam that explain what happened and the history of Dreamworks in general. But it was very nasty and Spielberg and Bluth got involved in it.
Movie wise Shrek was ruined when it was decided Shrek would be more concerned about being a father than of a king in Shrek The Third. Social media wise Shrek was ruined when Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life was made.
I don’t believe I have ever heard you manage to fit so many puns into a single video. They just didn’t stop. That fact you can replace so many words in the English language with Ogre, and Shreck, and have it still be completely understandable is a bit 🤯 🤯 🤯
i enjoyed Shrek 1 and 2 like anyone else when they came out, and 4 wasn't terrible or anything, by my god the stuff people have done with the characters and series, can be either ridiculously funny and unabashedly disturbing
“it’s all ogre now” is something that lives permanently rent free into my skull because of shrek is love, I’m not even joking. I’ve caught myself unironically using it before, years later because apparently 12 year old me found it hilarious enough for it to stick around in my brain longer than the actual movies did. Send help, I am not ok
I live in Edinburgh and there’s a place called the playhouse, that has posters for broadway shows (obviously). And I’ve seen the Shrek musical poster a couple of times.
I don't care what anyone else says... Shrek 5 better have the main antagonist be named Drek and have him be a blue alien that so happens to look like Shrek and almost conquer the world with his color blue religion.
Not to mention another connection with shrek x shadow was that the first shrek film came out the same year as Sonoc adventure 2(which that game was Shadow 's debut)
Diamondbolt, you do know that Shrek began as a book right? A book written by the 83 year old William Steig, who created a character who would inspire generations. And now he is in the heavens, along side Steve Harwell and Kelly Asbury. (The director of Shrek 2.) 4:38, 7:35, 9:05, 12:00, 12:20, 12:57.
I live in the UK and when I was 6 for my mums birthday she always wanted to go to the West end but the only one not fully booked was shrek the musical years later she said it was the worst present ever but for me that is my funniest memory ever 😂
Knowing that you went to shreks adventure just brought me back to January when I did it It was honestly fun The actors played their parts well and for some of the recordings of the characters some I can tell were impressions while the rest probably were the same ones Also The company that did it merlin entertainment is coincidentally the name of a tv channel that was in Shrek 2
My friends and I in college had a rule in place where if we could decide what to watch in like 3 options, then we automatically put on Shrek the Musical on Netflix. We got very familiar with the stage play and its actually pretty good😂😂😂
I’ve loved Shrek since I was a baby, as a teen I went down the Shrek meme rabbit hole, and as an adult I realize how good the movies are (except 3, but 4 is genuinely great) and have fond memories of them. Even if said memories is watching Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life on the bus because an older kid was showing it to everyone or writing weird Shrek fanfics and turning them in for assignments.

so... we just circled back to unironically loving Shrek again. Amazing
@@somemadnessfan4763 yeah especially how Shrek 5 could end up being a perfect start to a new trilogy for the series
"Masterpiece" is a word used so many times that it really is just watered down to another word for "it's really good" same with "peak".

@@BababooeyGooeyPAHAH
R.I.P., Steve Harwell (😔).
@@BababooeyGooeyunderrated comment 😂
Just to be clear, there are times where the Internet showed its love and support for Shrek. Look at Shrek Retold for example.
The idea of a massive collab project to re animate the first film was brilliant
Blud didnt watch the video 💀
Or "Shrek is love, Shrek is life" 👹🤤
Thats Not Support! That Shit Was Not Faithful To Shrek At All!

Ain’t no way 😂
If anything, Shrek practically made the Internet into a community of pop culture media. He was one of the founders.
Weren't there memes before that?@@Chemical_Agent4340
The Mount Rushmore of Internet Culture:
Shrek, Sonic, Garfield, and SpongeBob.

Yooo
I too went down the Shrek internet rabbit hole, massive respect for killing a piece of your sanity for our sakes.

People will complain about kids watching Skibidi Toilet SFM when we watched SFM animations of Shrek giving TF2 characters backshots back in the day. 💀
You see the difference between the two is one of them is genuinely hilarious and pretty much universally loved. The other is skibidi toilet
Im pretty sure one of them was ellis from left 4 dead 2 tho.

Everyone loved it.
I would unironically read it lol

@@WeaselDuster Unfortunately not
@@IndominusGojira Dam...
@Hwje1111 I don't think so, the stories we wrote were mostly for sharing with the class. The graded assignments were mostly specific writing prompts.

That's what I've been saying. The internet both ruined and saved shrek
Agree it’s. A mix bag of feelings for save and ruin Shrek
True
This man made an entire sponsor segment of his video actually interesting and entertaining
In regards to Shrek Retold, I still can't get over how Chris Chan of all people got to make a scene.
he What?
There’s a piece of Shrek’s dignity that is forever lost because of this.
It feels like Shrek 4 is the response to the joke Shrek has become

Shrek Forever After is underrated and deserves more respect.

I can’t believe how much shit I repressed from this fandom. This was both hilarious and painful to watch. Thanks Bolt for your sacrafice
Shrek has rebound from genuine enjoyment to ironic enjoyment and back to genuine enjoyment. When you take the memes and 4chan out of the equation, the first two Shrek films are genuine masterpieces of animation.
The fourth is an underrated gem. Probably the most overtly emotional of the films. 3 can go to hell, it doesn't exist.
Show Forever After its well deserved respect.
@@memecliparchives2254 I would, but I have not seen that film in a VERY long time, so I cannot comment on whether or not it deserves to resurge in popularity.
Diamondbolt talking in shrek terms is oddly satisfying to hear
I would happily go to Shrekfest with you on the day you're able to go.
Could you imagine if there was a Disney raid and everyone dressed up as their favourite Disney characters?
my ass would show up there with my shitty Oswald costume IMMEDIATELY
In my school we dressed up as disney characters 2 times

8:26 with each one getting more and more depraved as time goes by except for six
I remember packing a bunch dvds of Shrek for a road trip when I was 5 and my mom said I could only pick two Shrek movies to bring, and then I cried.
As someone who has played shrek super slam competitively for over 2 years I can confirm it's one of the games of all time
My old english teacher got arrested for showing Shrek is Love Shrek is Life to a class.
....😅that's funny
if there's one thing that the Shrek fanbase has taught us, it's that some things don't/should not exist for a reason
Your puns have Ogre Shreked their welcome. Though you’re absolutely right about the Pussin Boots 2 was shockingly terrific.
7:02 "You're my Fiona now"
Why does this sound so terrifying?
I've missed your retrospectives Adam, and you did it again😉! Awesome video!
13:18 Was so unexpected I burst out laughing way too hard
To celebrate everyone’s favorite spooky month, I thought I should look at the scary side of transformers.
Adam that whole thing with the posters and blu tack is super relatable, my posters are always falling off the wall.
The internet didn't ruin Shrek, it allowed him to Ascend into Godhood.

My grandfather loved Shrek and puss in boots, he's not dead, he's just got into TH-cam
I remember my class was watching shrek and they singing all stars while driving back to school from a camping trip in Canberra back in 2019
