The Cinema Snob reviews Hi-Tops for Musical March in September. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

Oh wow, I was in a production of this play when I was 15. I played the devil. It's super corny, but it works a lot better with a bunch of over-enthusuastic theater kids rather than adults, and it was a lot of fun. I admit it's awful, but it's got some serious nostalgia value for me.
Then you are perfectly equipped to answer my query....
Where exactly was the peer pressure?
No one was pressuring anyone to do anything....
I don't know if there's a right way to tell you this, so I'll be blunt...there's a 99.9% chance you and your castmates also sucked.
I'd actually be willing to go back in time and watch your school's production of it.
Chibi94 I get that
Probably, but I don't care. I did it because it was fun, not because I thought it was great theater
This movie taught me not to worry about overdosing, because I'll be brought back. I'm going to start taking every drug I come across. Thanks, Hi-Tops!
I thought he was joking, but he hasn't commented in awhile...
Well it also teaches not caring about overdosing cause being IN Hi Tops still would be worse than dead.
@@Ugly_German_Truths You know those times when you see a bad romantic storyline, and you think this is still a better love story than the Twilight saga? This isn't one of those times.
I was a Southern Baptist teenager during the 1980s and I can testify that my authority figures would have considered this cutting edge.
Snob, I can't buy you wanting to rap about peer pressure, you didn't turn your chair around.
Haven't seen the heavens gate review that would have sent him over budget again
Sorry "haven't you seen"
Fluffernutter, corkscrew, Gatorade, BOOM, Cinema Snob!
Great, you've activated the Winter Soldier...
No. I think he summoned Candyman
I heard reverse beetlejuice
That sounds like what I type into Google solely to fuck with the algorithm.
This looks like those crappy anti-drug assembly shows we were forced to see in middle school, where all the cast members wear neon shirts and say "Hey guys, I'm *insert name here*!", and the assembly would stop halfway through so that Principal Forrester could yell at Glenn Cooper for throwing a paper ball on stage, and they'd have to drag someone out of the auditorium after they fainted during the segment of the assembly where they show crime scene photos of celebrities after they died from drug use.
I now imagine Dr. Forrester from MST3k as a school principal. Comes onto the loud speakers and is like:
"Hello, my collection of spawns from backwater devils. For today's schedule, you'll all be shoved into our cramp little auditorium and subjected to what can only be described in comparison to Reefer Madness as Birdemic was to Hitchcock's The Birds."
Or something like that.
I remember having some presentation on meth... in middle school...
Maybe I just wasn't as stupid as my peers.
FireroseNekowolf Love it!
I remember some ex-addicts coming to speak to my class and a group of popular idiots yelling 'smack head!' repeatedly at one of the women.
This is the kind of show that probably made young people more interested in drugs. All the religious overtones just make my skin crawl.
Damn that is very specific! But quite accurate.
I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian home and I remember watching this and psalty the singing song book all the time. I had a weird childhood
"They have birth to a baby...Half human, half Leatherneck Sea Turtle"
The Origin of Mitch McConnell?
You know you're in for something special when a Snob review starts out with Brad staring blankly.
"It's called college."
I laughed harder than I should have.
should have
culwin sorry about that, fixed it.
Choatemister very true! While the once popular girl flunks out and becomes a Waffle House waitress!
collage
The nerdy guy was so traumatized by this whole experience that he moved to Canada to live with his Uncle Red.
Endless Noise If they don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
You guys both win a life-time supply of Internet Cookie Pizza for that Red Green reference :D
Keep your stick on the ice!
*I KNEW IT* 🤣🇨🇦
Yup, that is definitely Harold
I want a .gif version of Brad angrily messing with that fidget cube while staring into the camera.
28:37

Clicking on a Cinema Snob video without a thumbnail image is like opening a blank box left by a stranger on you front porch: you don't know what you're gonna get but you're fairly sure you'll need medical treatment afterwards.
Nothing like religious people teaching you how peer pressure is bad.
Remember kids, bullying is okay if you say it's what God wants!
Irony is a fabulous thing
Hey, was that a cheap shot? :-(
Sweet irony.
You know compared to other stuff Brad has reviewed, this is pretty restrained and inoffensive.
I'm still waiting for their cover of "Everyone has AIDS."
Everyone has PRAISE
PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE
PRUH-PRUH-PRAIST, PRAISE, PRAISE!
Their was a fundamentalist Christian group that aired a sketch comedy/drama series for da youngsters. They did - at least - one horrible AIDS/gay segment. The series was late 1980s - mid 1990s.
Team America reference. Awesome.
The only thing it's missing is the "My name is __ and I'm here to say" type of rap.
If there was a black person in the production YOU DAMNED WELL KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE ONE!
"Well, on the bright side, at least he can have SAX before marriage." I died. The dumbest possible joke, and also the greatest. Just finished the vid and it might be one of your best. You're just so cruel to these god-fearin' youngsters.
24:11 When the movie is so bad the tape itself tries committing suicide.
Maybe it's the same tape that recorded the "In Search of the Wow Wow Wibble Woggle Wazzie Woodle Woo"
and just like Jenny, it was reborn to suffer through this turd as punishment
A wild Phelous appears.
Runtripfall it appears that he was expected!
A wild *Toby Fair* appears.
You run away to avoid it.
NO....
TVBForever actually his name is spelled Tobe. Much like director Tobe Hooper
Take away the religion and give them a proper set, and this is basically one of those Disney Channel live action TV-series. Notice the "lolrandom" moment at 18:46.
The handshake between Tony and Angel Hair is the most coordinated thing in the show
I actually thought that was endearing
I usually listen to Cinema Snob in the background while I do other things. Brad should take that as a compliment; I find his voice soothing. But there are a couple of episodes where I will play them in the background like five times, and yet I still wouldn't be able to tell you what the movie was about. But then I finally sit down and watch the screen and I realize: No wonder I can't remember. Nothing happens in this movie!
Gotta love how the impetus is on the girl to tell the guy "no sex."
That's religion for ya, those boys just can't be darned to control their urges!
1:26 "So let´s rap about peer-pressure, kids, because when the devil shows up to give you advice, mark my words: It ain´t gonna be very nice!"
Snoop Doggy Snob is spitting some hot bars yo!
What kind of bars? Zagnuts?
*BOOM, CINEMASNOB!!*
I was waiting for a Stayin Alive cutaway and I got one! JUMP DAMN IT!
Okay, Doctor Who and then a Nightman "laughs are cheap, I'm going for gasps" reference? This episode is officially complete and the best one of this year's Musical March in September. :D
5:47 ah, she blinded me with creationism. The official theme song of the Kansas board of education
Poor Kansas ... the butt of so many jokes
All we are…is dust in the wind…
Angel: Diseases are like totally weird like this cold is grossing me out
Me: Just wait until 2020....
Why does the devil look like Count Dracula mixed with David Bowie
Because the devil is cool and we all know it
Okay, so I'm not the only 1 who thinks he looks some-what like David Bowie.
Because the devil really is the lovechild of Count Dracula and David Bowie.
Ever seen Taco the guy did that 80s cover of putting on the Ritz that's who he looks like
The devil looks like Jay leno
Is it concerning that my Christmas Eve tradition is to watch the Cinema Snobs review of High Tops every year?!?!
Only that you chose this over his reviews of more Christmas-y movies.
For me, it's his Silent Night Deadly Night reviews.
@@dragonmaster613 I dunno, I’ll take this over Gay Jesus for Christmas.
Brad's scripting was on point, every other minute or two there was something entertaining or humorous. Bravo.
Thank you Snob for giving me a new earworm to get stuck in my head at the most random times...."I want to be in the band, I want to be in the band, I got to be in the baaand!"....
The Devil looks like Liberace in greasepaint.
Good to know that Pokemon: The First Movie ripped off the Jenny rebirth scene
I can't believe Pokemon the First Movie is BETTER than something else
Tareltonlives I remember it being pretty good
But then again, back then I didn't know 4kids! butchered the movie. Mew was supposed to be the villain, not Mewtwo, for example.
Wish we'd get proper dubs of the movies originally dubbed by 4kids.
Ah 4Kids, how is it possible for a company to be so loved yet so hated at the same time?
Nah, even 4Kids did that scene better.
I'm from Brazil, and we usually get the English dubs (which I assume is because we don't have too many people whoever can translate directly from Japanese, but I still hate that), _especially_ the butchered ones. We got the 4kids One Piece dub, for example, and it wasn't even completed.
And we barely have any anime on Brazilian TV nowadays, cable or public. Even reruns are rare. D:
The nerds' duet is what happens when a bunch of unpopular Christians are sick of being called lame, so they try and overdo the lameness from some nerds so they can feel like the cool guys
These movies were one of the reasons I got kicked out of Sunday school, that and drawing a snake during arts and crafts and not knowing that the critter was depiction of the devil in the Garden of Eden.
this is the episode that did it.. i laughed so hard, i literally couldn't breathe.. especially from the dance in the chair after Jenny died.. i love these
I remember seeing this performed live at Irvine Meadows in Irvine, California when I was approximately 5 years old. Thanks for the memories Snob.
Sweet Jesus!!!, I take back everything!!! After 33 years, Your video was better than the play!!! I just freaking spit my latte at my phone screen... 😂😂😂
Nice to wake up to see the notification of a new Cinema Snob video uploaded.
This is the most 80's thing I've ever seen. And I've watched a LOT of 80's stuff.
It is 80s. PURE 80s.
Thanks for bringing back another repressed church movie night memory from my childhood.
Jeez, The Breakfast Club: The Musical really SUCKED.
But the Best "Saved by the Bell" Episode ever
Was that supposed to be a joke or make sense? What does this have to do with The Breakfast Club?
+August West
2 or 3 of the people in this vid are dressed up pretty much exactly like some of the characters from TBC. I guess the connection is a bit tenuous, but I did get 29 upvotes, so I guess some others saw it too? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Was the casting director for this...thing the same one from _Grease?_ Man, those guys were never out of demand.
I can't help but notice the audiences laughter of the nerds romance scene. Then again, this was long before being a nerd became a more socially acceptable thing.
I... remember seeing this. Live. There was a touring production of it at the church my family and I went to. Or maybe the church put on their own performance of it? I would have been around 5 or 6 at the time so it's all pretty fuzzy but I DEFINITELY remember the green hair and the death scene.
I have no idea why but I keep watching this episode
At least, this movie has a good message & intention behind it, unlike Pureflix.
TheMouseAvenger At least this one doesn't seem to have a victim complex.
It's stupid, but harmless
That, too. :-)
Eh, the antisex thing is pretty annoying. Not to mention not a single likable character
Yeah, messages like that are ultimately pretty harmful... But the peer pressure stuff, anti-drugs.. even if the message is stilted, there's truth behind it.
I thought that when the chick ODed, the old, bearded guy would say, "She chose...poorly."
snob: fluffernutter
me: what?
snob: corkscrew
me: did you hit your head or something?
snob: gatoraid
me: ALRIGHT THAT'S IT. YOUR GOING TO TELL ME WHAT CRAZY CULT YOUR BROKE OUT OF OR ELSE
snob: BOOM cinema snob
me ohhhhh now i get it
I was gonna say least intimidating Cylon ever, but sure, Robocop works too.
Good one
Robocop is less nerdy
I feel like it would improve the movie if it was called "High Heels" instead, and everyone kept trying to dance but kept failing horrifically until someone broke their leg and they had to give up on their dreams. Would make a great satire film of this in my opinion.
There's a Mormon stage production made into a film called Saturday's Warrior that reminds me a lot of Hi-Tops. Might want to check it out Snob for this or perhaps next "Musical March in September." It's just as hooky and insufferable as Hi-Tops appears to be and this is the opinion of one of the faithful.
Saturday's Warrior review seconded
Musical Hell has a review of the movie adaptation
Is that where that got people to karate chop stacks of concrete to get people to convert
This has turned into one of my all time favorite Snob riffs.
This makes Tim Noah's stuff look positively normal.
The movie should have been about the daft punk robot angels
what a RIP OFF
I was looking for a Daft Punk reference. Thank you!
You know it's going to be a good review when the first few seconds are just the Snob sitting in his chair, twiddling his fingers in silence.
I clicked on this link hoping that this was the show I saw as a teen - I think our youthgroup saw a version about 25 years ago and I still remember it, espcially the Love Song For Two Nerds. Didn't realise it was a professional production.
I will forever love you for that Roundhouse reference... I miss that show with a passion
I wasn’t a fan
I remember being really little though and when I was left with a babysitter on Saturdays I was allowed to watch Ren and Stimpy(even though I was 4) and I think Roundhouse was on first
This is shaping up to be the best musical march is September ever
It's hypocritical that a musical that speaks out against peer pressure and being yourself spends so much time making fun of the nerd characters. Even the audience makes fun of them.
I must admit the actress playing Jenny is really good in that scene before she o.d.'s. Her line "Here's to the me that never was" was genuinely moving.
26:31 Fancy foot work there, Snob. You ought to be in the band. You got to be in the band. You ought to be in the band, Mister.
In the scene where the 2 nerds meet each other and fall in love, I don't think it's funny, I think it's cute.
A Bible review! That means the Bible reloaded is coming soon. Can't wait to see their wit in the comments!
Yeeeesh. This makes Grease 2 look like The Outsiders.
You win the comments
The little dance he does when the girl is confirmed dead is hilarious to me.
imagine if Castiel had an angels work reunion with these guys
I think he'd zap them just out of pity's sake.
good
I detected 3 possible references to Heathers
Eric Zephyr , Heathers came out 4 years after this was produced.
I can't believe you reviewed this this has been my favorite bad musical movie for a WHILE now - I show all of my friends this at one point or another!
I just can't get past "Solomon the Supersonic Salamander."
You get a like for that fidget cube. Best example of when to use one I've ever seen
We used to call this Top-Less for a lot of naughty reasons 😄😄😄
Whoever made enormous baggy socks worn in multiple sets at once (and sometimes over pant legs) into a fad needs to be given the Clockwork Orange treatment and sat in front of this feature until they break.
That said, that glitterific Lucifer is faaaaabulous.
The beginning is still better than the opening number from "Carrie: the Musical".
Came so fast that there was no proper title card. Also: 25:52: WORST. SAVED. BY. THE. BELL. EPISODE. EVER.
6:57 That Family Matters reference lol
I had to pause the video! that crack me up! XD the indignation tone when he says it hahahahaha!
check out the Key and Peele Family matters video! just hilarious!
FavioRiveros you’re aware that this was made in 1985. Family matters not Key and Peele were around yet...
@@kimmididwhat we're aware of that. We were talking about the joke Cinema Snob made, which was in reference to Family Matters.
When Snob can't be as sarcastic and deadpan as he needs to be, he outsources to Phelous 😁
Yeah... no. He's perfectly capable on his own. No help required.
Hi-Tops: The musical that warns the audience about peer pressure while ironically using peer pressure to force people into becoming Christians. What fun!
Nice to see what happens when you inhale the fumes of your kids' Crayolas.
There is a special school for nerds, it's called COLLEGE!
Epic comeback and burn and so very true!
Hooray for Everything>Hi-Tops
♪♪Hey kids, take a walk on the wild side!♪♪
So uh...what exactly did Lucifer have to do with this whole thing, anyway? Kinda seemed like he just fucked around and insulted people every now and then.
He talked them into cheating and gave Ginny the drugs and alcohol.
even years later ... i still miss the Believe it or not intro ;-) ...
PLEASE DO PSALTY!!! THAT FREAK OF A BOOK SCARES ME!!!
Natalie Thomas he has 😂
Love em like God would love em. Does he mean knock them up and leave another guy to raise it?
Edgy.
Now that's an oof if I've ever seen one.
From what I remember the bible was written by humans, bias sinful humans and not by God.
@@thegoldenmoon3254 "the truth is edgy because it hurts my feelings"
You have Colby in your blender, but no Psalty, not even a dash? Is even a dash to much Psalty?
no but you do add a sprinkle of the doughnut man (pun absolutely intended)
Colton Seatvet Psalty did put out a series of "Kids Praise" albums back in the 1980's. I used to listened to these albums since I was a teenager. It was sorta like an old time radio. It has songs and the entire cast on their albums.
Colton Seatvet awful. Just awful.
Eh, too..psalty.
August West Psalty, bro?
I once saw a local production of this and man did I think it sucked. Well I was wrong, that was solid gold compared to this.
tvestal100 I remember seeing "The Little Mermaid" a school play about two years ago and it sucked bad. The characters aren't that good in the school version and the songs are godawful. The Broadway version does that better, not the school play.
Dude, This play was really cool back in 1985.
Ummmmm, I doubt that. If I saw this as a young child in the '80's, I would've been, like: "This is fucking stupid."
@@LauraSquirrel You weren't around in the 80s, so that makes your point moot.
Holy shit, caught the Heathers reference at 12:40 XD
He makes some sly references!
"Dad loves his gay son" came from Heathers.
It's more funny when you imagine this as the religious version of "Heathers the Musical"
80s Heathers >>>> Any other version
Well. the line is "I love my dead gay son." And then Jason Dean wonders how the father would feel if his son had a limp wrist with a pulse. But I love all Heathers references. Especially ones that involve Veronica.
6:57 That "Family matters" joke! hahahahahahahaha This episode felt like the ones from a couple of years ago!
Dang it! Now that "Be in the Band" sing is stuck in my head.
Dear god... I went to the international church of Christ when I was a kid, and the Hi Tops were playing at one of our church events... I remember everything after seeing this review... the childhood trama! The horror! THE HORROR!!! And that's one of the reasons why I'm an atheist.
Hi Brad!
I love Cinema Snob, he makes me appreciate current films.
Oh man, I remember having to go to things like this at church when I was a kid. It was ALWAYS cringey. But this is EXACTLY how all these things were.
Holy crap I used to watch this one.
9:36: "Actually he's sending the angels off so he can have a lemon party with Merlin and Wizard Wankbeard."
Darn it Snob, stop making me spit out my milk!
this is a pretty good 20th birthday gift
....
wow.
I think I’ve finally figured out why the audience was reacting the way that they were. There was a gas leak and it was slowly poisoning everyone in the crowd and they were all suffering from delirium.
Holy crap, I remember this!! I had this and Psalty on VHS when I was a kid.
