Yes. That was driving me nuts when they said Pinocchio. No. It's got nothing to do with that. Also why there's not too much action in the middle. The "shopping" montage is actually a montage of the leads falling in love because it's a romance. They're basically playing and having a great time while also getting work done.
As someone who lived in the '80s, it wasn't the tennis racquets. Its the motion. The ball is moving, seemingly flying through the air. And it's all clearly motorized, but that's fascinating. It's like being on a Disney ride with the audio animatronics. The racquets as the crowd, and them turning to watch the ball is also interesting. Remember, these are people who had 4 television channels and no cellphones. They walked down the street to and from work every day and on their lunch break. Making the store look interesting would hopefully bring in customers. And a window that had audio animatronics, or at least animatronics in the window would be slightly below Disney level interesting. Even in the 2010s, when I would walk around the city I worked on during my lunch break, it was to see interesting new things. The place I worked, they did an annual sponsored sculpture festival, where different local businesses would sponsor a sculpture, and they were given 1 of maybe 2 or 4 designs, and then they had to paint it or otherwise decorate it for that year's contest. And that made walking around the place more interesting and generally beautified the city. So while the crowds in the early morning are maybe a bit overblown for the purpose of the story, I would totally stand outside a window like that and watch it for a little bit on my lunch break while my brain was resetting from staring at a Microsoft Word all day. You have to appreciate the small things when you find them.
Thats awesome to read, i can totally imagine it. In the Netherlands we have a department store Bijenkorf, and in the biggest cities they still do intricate, themed, motorised and moving displays. So i get what you’re describing :D
As someone who lived then, we didn't have jointed mannequins. Today's modern displays of clothing are boring. The old fashioned mannequins with makeup and eyelashes were fascinating. Sometimes a store would have actual people dressed up who just held really still for a long time. Mixed in with real mannequins. I guess a good start for young people who want to be models. Sometimes you couldn't tell and would have to examine them for awhile to find the real people. I remember getting real clos and looking at their faces. They gotta blink sometime!! The artwork painting the mannequins was stellar. Eyes were glossy and looked real. So to have mannequins jointed in ways to ride bikes, PLUS the power and electric knowledge to make them move smoothly all day long, well I'm not sure it'd really be possible with that technology at the time. I think they're made of wood so they'd be too heavy. I worked at a computer store in the early 80's and had an idea to carve a pumpkin for the front window for Halloween. I got the repair technician to design LED eyes so that it looked like the pumpkin was looking left and right. A row of red LED lights, but hooked to a system that lit one light in each eye at the same time. This was between 81-83. It wasn't a fire hazard either. It was a big hit. We couldn't use the Xmas tree lights available at the time or leave unattended overnight for Xmas holidays.
@@recoveringsoul755 Oh, the living mannequins were so cool. And I definitely like the old style compared to the modern blank white figures. Clearly making the mannequins move was capable with the technology. Mannequin was made in the 1980s. If you want to see what the '80s felt like for day to day living, Mannequin is so '80s it hurts. All the clothes ... Anyway, we had the tech. But you'd really have to order specialized mannequins for something like the bike riding scene. Those are all specialized joints. I don't think many people bought them.
@jenniferhanses I think the sheer weight of carved wood mannequins would be prohibitive for this type of movement. They'd need to be hollow, or lighter weight plastic or something. Or you'd need really strong motors
@@randallsnyder5757 Cool straight guys will never get to the coolness level of cool gay guys, especially cool black gay guys. Though, Fonzie is kinda close.

My parents used to go out to dinner and leave me to watch my younger sisters. It seemed like Mannequin, Big Trouble in Little China, Howard the Duck, and The Secret of my Success were always on HBO or Showtime. We probably saw them all 100 times. Now when I see them I always think, "Omg, I can't believe an 11-12 year old me was not only in charge of babysitting myself and 6 & 7 year old sisters, but that these types of movies were how we spent our time." Oh, what a time to be alive. 😂Thanks for covering this movie. It's such a slice of nostalgia.
Me and my friend stole my mom's car when I was 11 at like 02am to go to my girlfriends house who was waiting for us and immediately went on the freeway and almost crashed If you weren't living dangerous in the 80s you weren't living lol
You know when you watch live recordings stand up, there is always someone in the crowd with a loud, weird laugh and they laugh at everything? I have to believe that's how these two met. The comic is like, "can you come to all my shows?"
It's annoying. And we don't need the foul language for a fun family movie like this. My boyfriend at the time had a thing for Kim Cattral after this movie, plus a thing for elevators. And he'd force me to go shopping and refer to me as his life sized Barbie doll
@@recoveringsoul755 Kim Cattrall, huh? I would have kicked him in the dick for bad taste in movies and actresses. But, yeah, no need for all the shitty language. Hahaha psych! I see what you're doing.
Movies like this from this era that ended up in heavy rotation on HBO are seared into my subconscious. Dragnet, Spaceballs, and Inner Space come to mind
I used to do windows at department stores, back when there was still some artistry to the profession. We used to laugh at the sheer campiness of this movie.
I worked at JC Penny in the late 1980’s and the window dressing / display guys were absolutely the first and most out gay men I had met to that date. They were very kind and I wish I could remember their names.
@ fifty-ish. 🤷 I just keep getting older, what can I say? 😅 I was in my late teens when I was working at JC Penny. I was the “catalog returns processor”. I scanned and packaged returned catalog purchases in large coffin-sized boxes, ran them up the trans-floor conveyor belt and loaded them on trucks in the loading bay. It was a lonely, solo job. I got big muscles from it, though.
@howardmurphy743 Many movies made in the past would not be made today because "modern audiences" would get offended. Many of these older films have themes or scenes or jokes that are sexist or racist, but it was a different time hence "the past was doin' its best!" ***Disclaimer - I'm not offended by these old movies, 80s movies are my favorite. But I totally get why some things are considered offensive to others.
I think this is my favorite current running series on TH-cam. Y'all are casual, genuine and legitimately hilarious. Please don't ever force it for the algorithm. If you have to miss a week you miss a week
I was looking for this in the comments! Looking for a reference to a much older MYTH Pygmalion than Pinocchio. Why they talk about pinocchio but no Pygmalion. So sad. And thank you.
Yes, specifically the version of the character from Mannequin 2, which isn't as good as the first one, but leans much more on Hollywood to carry the film.
@@sarahfuller5482 "Oh, it's okay. You don't need to be scared of me. I'm not one of those murder mannequins or satanic mannequins. I'm just a store mannequin that came to life."
So you'd know, that bicycle display, that feels like it'd take some work to get set up. Like with the clip I was just thinking "to be fair, that does seem impressive." Like I don't think the stock parts are designed for motion right, so you'd have to rig up some custom stuff for everything below the waist for each one.
The TH-cam algorithm directed me here for the first time, and it was a lotta fun! Jordan's infectious laughter is KEY. Thanks for a funny plot summary, Ben. I'll be tuning in for more!
I've finally bought the dvd after re-watching the movie recently on Prime...how🤥could I forget one of my 80's crush - James Spader - was in it is beyond me😮🤭! Great silly cheer up movie to watch or to keep on the background while... trying not to be too depressed with your life😪...despite the Family Guy's joke ....and you guys are a riot! Loved the commentary😁
@@jnnxno, when you lived in the 80’s and 90’s you never looked anything up because there was no internet at all. It took me years to discover songs I’d heard in a movie I never saw again.. I’d record films on vhs tapes.. I’ve got memories of films I saw once.. and then years later understood more about them.. he could’ve seen the film on tv once when he was a kid and then forgotten about it.. the internet only exploded when I was mid twenties.. we lived in a totally different way.
My favorite part of that movie is that he carries the mannequin around everywhere and everyone at the store knows he sneaks off with it for “special time” and they go “oh those crazy artist types! Kinky little guy”
Like obviously my taste has increased many fold since I saw this in the theater in 1987-88. But to give you some perspective of how I felt about this movie when I was 15. When I walked out of the theater I said out loud but to myself (latch key kid) "this is the best movie I have ever seen!". ... long sigh... simpler times
When I was around 8 we had a family trip to the mall and I was tired of walking. We got to the entrance of a department store (may have been JCP) and I sat down on the pedestal display at the front entrance of the store. There were two female mannequins on the display. Shortly after I sat down I felt something moving under my butt. My parents were laughing so hard as I came to the realization it was a live mannequin. She didn’t break her pose other than to curl a smile when I looked up at her. Wtf to this day.
Subscribed. I can't believe I haven't seen this channel before. Absolutely hilarious recap and commentary. Too many one liners that made me cry laugh :)
Window displays were a really big part of the 80s and even further in the past. The practice died off in 90s/early 00s. It was viewed as old fashioned.
Awesome video! When I was young I thought the Pizza Hut glasses were from the movie Mannequin.. I thought that was an odd endorsement. Movie was ahead of it's time.. now you can get your own Mannequin custom made for about 8k...ummm a friend told me this.
Ahh! I was there when they were filming that scene of him sitting on the motorcycle and looking at her in the window! It was filmed at the Camp Hill Mall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. My sister had broken her arm and we had just left the hospital and stopped at the mall to get something quick and when we pulled in this was being filmed so we stood there and watched it!! That was so cool to see a movie scene being filmed!
Your ability for storytelling is a talent I have not heard in a long time. You remind me of an old friend that had the same skill and he would always make people laugh wherever he went❤ definitely subscribing to you. Thank you for the laughs and reminding me of good times with friends.
This channel is fucking awesome. Man, I seen this movie when I spent a short time in prison, me and my pad mate where laughing our hours of for days after we watched it. Quoting the film making each other laugh our heads off
I haven't thought about this movie since the 80s!!! I laughed so much with this video. My mind was singing "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" at the "wedding".
8:00 a comically gay black man spraying an all white barrage of police officers with a fire hose feels like a baffling and hilariously in poor taste attempt to say something profound about society
2:49 I though they broght a snip from Police Academy showing G.W.Bailey as Captain Harris......but then I realize this is FROM Manequim itself 😃. It's like they recicled the actor AND the wardrobe to do this film 😂. I wouldn't be surprised if Manequin and Police Academy happen in the same universe, and in reality this Captain Harry has a second job in this department store to complete his earnings 🤣🤣
It's a modern retelling of a Greek myth about a sculptor named Pygmalion who falls in love with his sculpture. Aphrodite makes her real.
Just about to say that!! Though with a lot more hijinks and 80s hair!!
I didn't know that
And he called the sculpture Galateia
Yes. That was driving me nuts when they said Pinocchio. No. It's got nothing to do with that.
Also why there's not too much action in the middle. The "shopping" montage is actually a montage of the leads falling in love because it's a romance. They're basically playing and having a great time while also getting work done.
Oh, coming years will make it real. People will fall in love with robots that are very much human-like.

Is this what the episode of Bob’s Burgers was referring to? 😂😂
My favorite part of that movie is that he carries the mannequin around everywhere and everyone at the store knows he sneaks off with it for “special time” and they go “oh those crazy artist types! Kinky little guy”
Fun Fact: Mannequin is derived from the Belgian word: "Manneke" which means little man. Gives it some extra meaning to the movie.
This made me so happy! This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Nice to see it revisited
A silly comedy of pure gold, and your comment is very timely, congratulations
Chang from community also fell in love with a mannequin. Although it was only the bottom half, which is a much more sinister story 😂
4:10 and the brand oF the racquets. ARE HEAD
A lot of us 80s kids LOVED THIS MOVIE. I really wanted that pink cadillac ❤
I loved this movie back then. 😁
The most hilarious part of this movie really was McCarthy on the motorcycle 😂
I never saw the movie but the film clip of the song “Nothings going to stop us now” as a kid.
I recently saw it again a few weeks back, first time in likely over 25 years. It still made me laugh and smile throughout.
Ok Hollywood.
Like obviously my taste has increased many fold since I saw this in the theater in 1987-88. But to give you some perspective of how I felt about this movie when I was 15. When I walked out of the theater I said out loud but to myself (latch key kid) "this is the best movie I have ever seen!". ... long sigh... simpler times
Hey... I laughed so hard watching some Charlie Chaplin retrospective I peed my pants. I was 4 though.
I said that about the knight rider movie when i was a kid
@@cabana85 we all have our "movies" how about guilty pleasures? Mine for sure is Xanadu
Mannequin is certainly a guilty pleasure for me. But this channel should definitely do an episode on Xanadu
A full ten minutes! Alright!
A classic film for this channel.
A full ten every Monday! Nothing’s gonna stop us!
😂😂😂
😂😂🤣😭
I need this laughing guy to just hang around me and laugh like that every time I'm telling him stories. It would be so good for my self esteem.
Because of this movie we would tell our younger cousin that mannequins were real. She was constantly terrified of them.😂
When I was around 8 we had a family trip to the mall and I was tired of walking. We got to the entrance of a department store (may have been JCP) and I sat down on the pedestal display at the front entrance of the store. There were two female mannequins on the display. Shortly after I sat down I felt something moving under my butt. My parents were laughing so hard as I came to the realization it was a live mannequin. She didn’t break her pose other than to curl a smile when I looked up at her. Wtf to this day.
Subscribed. I can't believe I haven't seen this channel before. Absolutely hilarious recap and commentary. Too many one liners that made me cry laugh :)
This just popped up on my recommended
I was not dissapointed 😂
I love this movie but your giggles are infectious 😂
lmao I don't know if this is intentional but the audio synching up at 5:47 is pure gold. Such a great show guys, thanks.
Happens once every couple of videos, I swear! Great observation.
Oh my! I found this channel today and I love it! The guy laughing in the background makes it funnier!
This was literally my favorite movie...i was so stressed at 9 with that conveyor belt scene.
Your Stallone is killing it! “I got all this stuff inside me!”
Window displays were a really big part of the 80s and even further in the past. The practice died off in 90s/early 00s. It was viewed as old fashioned.
Awesome video! When I was young I thought the Pizza Hut glasses were from the movie Mannequin.. I thought that was an odd endorsement. Movie was ahead of it's time.. now you can get your own Mannequin custom made for about 8k...ummm a friend told me this.
The final part is perfect.
This has got to be one of my most favorite youtube channels of all time.
My favorite TH-cam channel. I look forward to these more than my paycheck.
Wow! Thank you so much!
Ahh! I was there when they were filming that scene of him sitting on the motorcycle and looking at her in the window! It was filmed at the Camp Hill Mall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. My sister had broken her arm and we had just left the hospital and stopped at the mall to get something quick and when we pulled in this was being filmed so we stood there and watched it!! That was so cool to see a movie scene being filmed!
Dam it (slams hand on table) I can't stand how much you guys make me laugh so hard...it's as if I've won the genius comedic lottery.
I've seen this movie a 1000 times. I don't remember the bikes.... Lol, awesome
I watched this when I was young and thought the window displays were soooo magical. This video made me laugh sooo hard. You are magical.
Your ability for storytelling is a talent I have not heard in a long time. You remind me of an old friend that had the same skill and he would always make people laugh wherever he went❤ definitely subscribing to you. Thank you for the laughs and reminding me of good times with friends.
This channel is fucking awesome. Man, I seen this movie when I spent a short time in prison, me and my pad mate where laughing our hours of for days after we watched it. Quoting the film making each other laugh our heads off
I dont know how you ended up in my suggested videos, but as a child of the 80's I loved it! 😂
The one doing the commentary is hilarious and the other one's laughter just cracks me up even more 😂😂😂
I haven't thought about this movie since the 80s!!! I laughed so much with this video. My mind was singing "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" at the "wedding".
8:00 a comically gay black man spraying an all white barrage of police officers with a fire hose feels like a baffling and hilariously in poor taste attempt to say something profound about society
=) Stallone with the pink Cadillac would be perfect
theres already a movie about Clint Eastwood in Pink Cadillac. And so its named.
As a STRAIGHT KID... "Still Straight at 42 btw" i Absolutely LOVE Hollywood. the actor absolutely KILLED IT As Hollywood.
2:49 I though they broght a snip from Police Academy showing G.W.Bailey as Captain Harris......but then I realize this is FROM Manequim itself 😃. It's like they recicled the actor AND the wardrobe to do this film 😂. I wouldn't be surprised if Manequin and Police Academy happen in the same universe, and in reality this Captain Harry has a second job in this department store to complete his earnings 🤣🤣
I loved this movie back in the day. I still quote it. "Hi, I'm a squid!"
