Sounds like a great friend. Friends like that are very few and very far between. It's good that you have positive memories of him. All we can hope is our friends remember us the same way
It's these kind of people that have the balls to not be a smartass and accept innocence as a human trait rather than spitting on it and rambling on like a fucking parrot on cocaine.
As good as Matt Damon is in this scene, the Harvard student really is a good actor. He's so unlikeable but it doesn't come off as overdone. He starts off incredibly condescending but his pauses and dumbfounded stares show it all.
I love how as soon as Ben Affleck starts talking to the girls, his friends all immediately place themselves around him watching his back on every side inconspicuously. That’s real love right there. Family always has your back.
Wrong, family doesnt have your back, not always. Those who have your back are your choosen friends not fentitled family members that leech off of you and do nothing but complaing about you later...family is not chosen, so feel free to choose them awya if they are dicks and morons:)

One of the biggest flex in cinematic history. And to think Afleck and Damon wrote the screenplay, winning an Oscar, just illustrates how talented both are beyond their acting capabilities.
I think we need to give props to the ponytail actor here. He is so easy to hate - and that's not as easy as you think. The contrast he provides makes our hero even more heroic.
it's about as easy as acting heroic...because in both cases it's acting. There's the talent of the actor, the writers, the production crew, and the direction that all come together to create the moment as a whole. And yet here we sit in a day and age where everyone and their grandmother thinks praising only the singular small part actor that is playing an antagonistic role is some noble or intelligent commentary. He did do a good job. So did everyone else in the scene.
@@coded8527 Ironic considering I'm arguing for the idea of trying to think originally instead of bandwagoning on the internet trend of commenting "actor that plays unlikeable guy must be good if I don't like the guy"
@Dootie Fair point. Equally fair point is that the only point Will actually makes against ponytail guy, his unlikeable trait in the scene, is that he's the kind of guy that pretends to be smart by reciting word for word everything he's ever learned, without actually trying to develop his own thoughts on what he's learning about, and he's just out to score some girls by reciting that stuff to make his friend look small. So to ask for your original thought on the matter, how exactly am I him when I'm not the guy reciting what you can read practically verbatim from any comment section featuring a clip from a show or movie with an unlikeable character in it? I'm not out to make anyone look stupid for saying it, if that's the read people are getting from that I apologize. and yet you and two other guys come sliding by, scroll down, see this and rather than stop to think about what's being said instantly jump on the train of "lol that guy called him ponytail guy, I should do the same" If your purpose is to support the og comment, I'd love to hear your side of it, if your purpose is to poke fun at me or insult me, you could at least try to be original, but when you come at me with the same comment 2 other guys before you came at me with days before you, i don't know what you want me to say that hasn't already been said.
This whole scene is like that scenario you play back in your mind while you're showering, thinking back to how you could totally "own" that guy Wow this really blew up. I love my wife Pamela ❤
Dude, this best comment ever, this has happened to me millions of times, and it's only in the shower that I come up with the best lines, but it's too late by then :)
I love the way he laughs and says “yeah maybe, but at least I won’t be unoriginal” it says a lot about him. He doesn’t care if he ends up a nobody as long as he has character.
It might have been at one time. Not anymore though, since SJWs took over and degraded the overall intellectual standards of the institution to the extent that going to Harvard doesn't mean much to people who think critically.
I fuckin agree pal, I've been to Boston and this is nothing like a real Boston pub, but for some reason Boston sure loves Irish! (Depending on what sida Boston you're on) lol
For me this scene potrayls real friendship. Look at how Will backs up his friend in a bind and rescues him. Those kind of friends are not easy to come by and should be cherished.
Yes it’s very nice. As Sean says to Will later when asking him if anyone challenges him and he says Chuckie, he says that doesn’t count because he would lie down in traffic for him. Mates like that are very hard to come by.
Absolutely. Will wasn’t even looking for the spotlight or impressing the girls, he was backing his buddy up. It just so happens he’s wicked smaht, so whatever he says is gonna make people shit their britches
I have a Ph.D in Neuroscience. I can say with no doubt that exactly what is happening in this scene is relatively common. People with advanced 'degrees' always want to steer the conversation to an area that they have some knowledge...too make themselves seem smart. i learned long ago that although i know quite a bit about neuroscience, i don't know shit about plumbing, carpentry, wiring, fixing cars, fixing small engines, roofing, etc. But the world is full of people with degrees like mine who believe they have superior intellect They don't. They could never survive without the 'stupid' people who make their life functional.
Yeah I've spoken to a few medical doctors that are like that, and believe it or not a lot of nurses like that as well. They will only ever talk about things from a medical perspective, and act smart since nobody knows what they're talking about. A lot of people will be interested until after a few conversations where you get sick of hearing about different patients. Some lawyers may do something similar, engineers do it less often since they know everyone is bored by what they talk about. The trick is to directly challenge them: "Can we talk about something that isn't X?" This puts them way out of their comfort zone and the results are actually kinda funny

Will would be calling out all these frauds on the internet pretending to be smart when all they are doing is regurgitating talking points without doing research. I myself am guilty of the same thing. People need to stopping trying to be smart and think for themselves.
@@Connect200 It's okay to regurgitate other people's words sometimes. Genuinely original thoughts are extremely rare things... No one should be expected to be original 100% of the time. Besides, sometimes the words have already been combined in the best possible way. Saying it differently would just devalue what you're really trying to say. It's why idioms exist and can be so powerful if used correctly. And at the end of the day, isn't Matt Damon just "regurgitating talking points" anyways? Nothing wrong with saying what has already been said.
It was the end result of what he was searching for ultimately that made this movie what it is honestly not even one of my favorite movies but it kind of replace me as an I'm the dumbest man in the world but I'm out for the same thing in ramen what kind of make me to get up and go

@@menooby2653 You're right. The script gives credence to the idea that every intelligent person knows everything about everything. Yes, anybody can read books, and anybody can go to the library. But first, you have to choose which book you will read. This will be influenced by your taste or your needs. Very few people would choose American colonial economics for pleasure reading. Unless this is your specific area of study (American Colonial times or the history of economics), even the greatest of geniuses would likely only know generalities about such an obscure topic, and even then, only when it touches on their actual interests (such as the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean). To cut a long story short: Good Will Hunting is what stupid people think smart people are like.
@@bando7567 What? Good Will Hunting speaks to what you’re saying by depicting both prodigy’s like Will and intellectuals like Skyler who have a specific field of study and don’t choose to read everything even if they’re uninterested in a certain topic. In fact, Skyler says this to Will during their lunch scene when she asks him why he would want to study organic chemistry for fun, because no one enjoys it. That’s how good the movies writing is...Will knows everything about everything because he never had a guide, he found comfort in studying everything, probably to escape his abuse and trauma. That’s what separates Will from the other characters, not all the smart ones know everything. The reason Robin Williams’s character Sean is knowledgeable about multiple topics like Will, is because they both had similar upbringings.
I still think it’s so cool that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck grew up together and then wrote and acted in this movie together at such young ages. I love that they have had equally successful careers and have remained close friends.
Here is a link to a TH-cam clip from Family Guy regarding Affleck's contribution to the writing of "Good Will Hunting". Pretty funny. th-cam.com/video/DRd_Gv90Y4Q/w-d-xo.html

In fact you will only read one book which ever did talk well of this kind, surprisingly it is Jesus in the bible and yep nobody got how deep was that comment, in fact I bet 100% of humanity would not have the slight idea of this as it flew over all the world's heads for 2k years so far, naturally, for the same reason, Will here, points.ss

Yea. And what people are taught in college only applies to our regular lives in the slightest of ways. Life is too complex and personal that scholars who try to theorize our existence and experiences fail. They focus on the wrong things, at least in my experience from college. Life is about achievement, relationships, hobbies. We learn about ancient philosophies and postmodern literature and economics. Why? I'm not opposed to learning about these random, almost pointless topics because it does challenge your thinking. However, it annoys me that professors and famous theorists think they are providing us with knowledge that reaches an understanding of some component of life. Again, our experiences are so unique, we have different priorities, our brains are different, some people are caring and understanding, others are cold and self-incognizant. Life and how I experience it is unique to me. College constrains you to a tight box of academic bullshit. If you write a paper, you must agree with some established school of thought. You must think in a way that reflects academic thinking and established theories. You are brainwashed into thinking that theorists know best, and whether or not they have the right answers, you still need think and write in a way that follows their theoretical, academic framework. In other words, even if you disagree with the theorists of study, you must stay close enough to their ideas or else you will be penalized. In short, college teaches students that their interpretations of their own life and experiences are not necessarily wrong but insignificant. Professors praise famous theorists as the former dreams of becoming the latter. Through this praise, they shove extremist theorists down your throats, and you are led to believe that these theorists have good ideas that relate to your own life. I am not saying that life is completely subjective and relative. I'm also not saying it is objective. However, I'm saying life is too nuanced and personal to be subjective or objective. Life is neither. The furthest a discussion on ontology should go is that we exist and exist as individuals. Except academia takes these discussions to an extreme and forces students to join the box of academia: a box that contains theories of which are recycled through the blind use of intertextuality and perpetuated by simpleton professors. Outside this box is humanity and the unique individuals that make it up.

True example of what real friends are. Will’s friends stayed with him and always had his back while ponytail’s friends laughed at his jokes but when the prospect of a fight came, they inched away from him like cowards.
I love this movie!! One of the very best ever. So happy to watched this movie over a hundred times. Each time you watch this movie, you will be a better you. Don't stop watching this movie.
Casey Affleck is very underrated in this movie. Early in the scene when he takes a seat behind Skyler, and realizes this is about to turn into a fight, he gives a sigh. Fantastic acting.
As a Bostonian who loves this movie, I still find it sad that this is the only time the word “wicked” is said in the whole film. You can’t go 5 minutes without hearing that word in inner-city Boston.
The word “wicked” was used often in Southie, where I grew up in the 1950s. Once I moved away in the late 70s, I never heard it again until this movie. It sure brought back memories!
Yeah he plays it brilliantly. Don't know his name, but the dudes a solid actor. Never seen him in anything else really though. He was in the TV show Oz but apart from that I've never seen him in anything else.
I haven't watched this movie in 25+ yrs. We rented it at the video store on VHS for the VCR in the late 90s. I remember Ben Affleck (the massive cheater) with Matt Damon, receive advice from Robin Williams character, who I do not recall his name. He was a doctor or scientist, or something like that. I remember he had a gray beard and glasses. I think our Business Class when I was in grade 10 saw it for a second time. Those were my high school days.
Never has a film hit me so hard, had tears of joy, anger and sadness. Honestly can say that I can re watch it as many times as I want and it will still hit me hard. One of my favourite films
this is what a good friend does. Also, Scott Winters did so well. The subtle eye movements, body language were on point, like he really was recalling memorized textbook lines
The importance of good non speaking parts and extras: the expression of Jennifer Deathe in the nearby while the verbal fencing is on adds up so much to the scene, she is stunning beautiful
What? No, he didn't. He met the guy at the same level as the guy, then went above him. Then he chose to give the guy another out, one that was closer to that guy's true motives (embarrass other male, look strong in front of females) but knowing that there was no way this guy was going to be able to match him on that level either.
Ben Affleck's confused ape-like-head-scratching at the 1:37 mark is wonderful acting. It is so subtle but communicates so much. He has so many of these little looks, movements, and gestures in this film that give the character Chuckie such depth of humanity.
For the first time I heard the background song playing...Almost positive it is Tomy Petty "You Wreck Me"...I am sure many others have already heard this, but I absolutely love that song, and this movie clip...what a happy coincidence!
What i find weird is how this Harvard guy is supposed to be intelligent but here he is picking a fight with an obvious boston native. Not a good idea imo
Even if he physically lost a fight he could just chalk it up to something like how idiots/morons/ whateverhewantstocalltheguy cant handle just speaking and have to resort to violence not to mention if hes ivy league his parents will throw a fit and the police will actually do something where otherwise it would just be a shittalker that got what was coming.
This scene is great because Will displays what we all aspire to be - a well rounded man. A man who is intelligent, articulate, loyal to his friends even to the point of a brawl if needed. This is opposed to the pony tail guy who was clearly intelligent but cowardly and malicious. Will's character is one who gains respect from men and attraction from the ladies as clearly shown in this scene. A lofty goal for all of us to strive towards.
@@lorenzor124 You’re right that he didn’t need to fight. Most people don’t need to fight when they do. Maybe cowardly is not the right word. He simply knew Will was significantly stronger and he appropriately turned down a brawl. A wise choice. Again, Will is “well-rounded”.
@@lorenzor124 Will challenged pony tail guy to a fight because deep down he is insecure and feels he is unworthy of the girl in the bar unless he can prove himself. He feels that he is unlovable and flawed (due to his broken childhood). His character doesn’t yet realize all of this at this point in the film.

Yes absolutely; the reason many Hispanics and African Americans are stuck in the bottom of the socioeconomic strata is because since birth they were born into a poor family that is not educated on all the resources out in the world and by adulthood were convinced they had a seat in the bottom because of their atmosphere and role models. That has nothing to do with intelligence or the government even - systematically speaking, but rather a vicious cycle of being down.
No, it sometimes means that. Not always. And if someone chooses a job that is less prestigious but overall makes them happier even long term, I'd say that's called being smart.
I loved it because I went to a good university in the early 90's and saw these pony-tailed grad student assholes trying to impress undergrad girls in bars --- it was just like this scene played out

The most unrealistic thing about this scene is that people are at a bar talking one at a time, and not directly over eachother.
Like my retahded neighbors.

@@wildmike85 well your wild mike you must be wild.

If I was a genius I wouldnt waste my time reading history, thats a subject for girls, bitches love to bring up the past,
It might have been at one time. Not anymore though, since SJWs took over and degraded the overall intellectual standards of the institution to the extent that going to Harvard doesn't mean much to people who think critically.
Maybe but there was no rhyming and rhythm it would be considered more of a roast battle then a rap battle.

For me this scene potrayls real friendship. Look at how Will backs up his friend in a bind and rescues him. Those kind of friends are not easy to come by and should be cherished.
Yes it’s very nice. As Sean says to Will later when asking him if anyone challenges him and he says Chuckie, he says that doesn’t count because he would lie down in traffic for him. Mates like that are very hard to come by.
Absolutely. Will wasn’t even looking for the spotlight or impressing the girls, he was backing his buddy up. It just so happens he’s wicked smaht, so whatever he says is gonna make people shit their britches
I have a Ph.D in Neuroscience. I can say with no doubt that exactly what is happening in this scene is relatively common. People with advanced 'degrees' always want to steer the conversation to an area that they have some knowledge...too make themselves seem smart. i learned long ago that although i know quite a bit about neuroscience, i don't know shit about plumbing, carpentry, wiring, fixing cars, fixing small engines, roofing, etc. But the world is full of people with degrees like mine who believe they have superior intellect They don't. They could never survive without the 'stupid' people who make their life functional.
Yeah I've spoken to a few medical doctors that are like that, and believe it or not a lot of nurses like that as well. They will only ever talk about things from a medical perspective, and act smart since nobody knows what they're talking about. A lot of people will be interested until after a few conversations where you get sick of hearing about different patients. Some lawyers may do something similar, engineers do it less often since they know everyone is bored by what they talk about. The trick is to directly challenge them: "Can we talk about something that isn't X?" This puts them way out of their comfort zone and the results are actually kinda funny
AMEN.

@@menooby2653 You're right. The script gives credence to the idea that every intelligent person knows everything about everything. Yes, anybody can read books, and anybody can go to the library. But first, you have to choose which book you will read. This will be influenced by your taste or your needs.
Very few people would choose American colonial economics for pleasure reading. Unless this is your specific area of study (American Colonial times or the history of economics), even the greatest of geniuses would likely only know generalities about such an obscure topic, and even then, only when it touches on their actual interests (such as the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean).
To cut a long story short: Good Will Hunting is what stupid people think smart people are like.
@@bando7567 What? Good Will Hunting speaks to what you’re saying by depicting both prodigy’s like Will and intellectuals like Skyler who have a specific field of study and don’t choose to read everything even if they’re uninterested in a certain topic. In fact, Skyler says this to Will during their lunch scene when she asks him why he would want to study organic chemistry for fun, because no one enjoys it. That’s how good the movies writing is...Will knows everything about everything because he never had a guide, he found comfort in studying everything, probably to escape his abuse and trauma. That’s what separates Will from the other characters, not all the smart ones know everything. The reason Robin Williams’s character Sean is knowledgeable about multiple topics like Will, is because they both had similar upbringings.
I still think it’s so cool that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck grew up together and then wrote and acted in this movie together at such young ages. I love that they have had equally successful careers and have remained close friends.

And those two could not even have been here if they have not been given all by the really lazy people whom did not wanted to work or study at all whom produced the two largest advances in human civilization so far, Gutenberg and Babbage. Thanks to their well exercised imagination which our culture as a whole try desperately to make certainly impossible by never sustaining the lazy kind as well as insulting and talking down. In fact you will only read one book which ever did talk well of this kind, surprisingly it is Jesus in the bible and yep nobody got how deep was that comment, in fact I bet 100% of humanity would not have the slight idea of this as it flew over all the world's heads for 2k years so far, naturally, for the same reason, Will here, points.ss

This scene is so accurate to college. A lot of people who don't think for themselves and only regurgitate what they were taught.
Yea. And what people are taught in college only applies to our regular lives in the slightest of ways. Life is too complex and personal that scholars who try to theorize our existence and experiences fail. They focus on the wrong things, at least in my experience from college. Life is about achievement, relationships, hobbies. We learn about ancient philosophies and postmodern literature and economics. Why? I'm not opposed to learning about these random, almost pointless topics because it does challenge your thinking. However, it annoys me that professors and famous theorists think they are providing us with knowledge that reaches an understanding of some component of life. Again, our experiences are so unique, we have different priorities, our brains are different, some people are caring and understanding, others are cold and self-incognizant. Life and how I experience it is unique to me. College constrains you to a tight box of academic bullshit. If you write a paper, you must agree with some established school of thought. You must think in a way that reflects academic thinking and established theories. You are brainwashed into thinking that theorists know best, and whether or not they have the right answers, you still need think and write in a way that follows their theoretical, academic framework. In other words, even if you disagree with the theorists of study, you must stay close enough to their ideas or else you will be penalized. In short, college teaches students that their interpretations of their own life and experiences are not necessarily wrong but insignificant. Professors praise famous theorists as the former dreams of becoming the latter. Through this praise, they shove extremist theorists down your throats, and you are led to believe that these theorists have good ideas that relate to your own life. I am not saying that life is completely subjective and relative. I'm also not saying it is objective. However, I'm saying life is too nuanced and personal to be subjective or objective. Life is neither. The furthest a discussion on ontology should go is that we exist and exist as individuals. Except academia takes these discussions to an extreme and forces students to join the box of academia: a box that contains theories of which are recycled through the blind use of intertextuality and perpetuated by simpleton professors. Outside this box is humanity and the unique individuals that make it up.

Not enough credit is given to the acting of the pompous frat boy. The casting for that role was brilliant.
Shawn Michaels just got burned.
@@rumplespliffskin What does Shawn Michaels have to do with anything about this movie?
@@michaelgrabianowski6567 nothing. Thanks for the thumbs down.
@@rumplespliffskin Shawn Michaels 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant 👏👏
Yeah he plays it brilliantly. Don't know his name, but the dudes a solid actor. Never seen him in anything else really though. He was in the TV show Oz but apart from that I've never seen him in anything else.
The way Ben Affleck says “oh hello” gets me every time. 😂
Yea me too :D
Oh, hi Mark!
😂😂😂
Hello. Did I frighten you? Would you like a hard candy? I have some. I actually don't have any hard candy. I threw them at some school children.
"From time to time" 🤣
One of my all-time favourite scenes of any movie.
100%
I haven't watched this movie in 25+ yrs. We rented it at the video store on VHS for the VCR in the late 90s. I remember Ben Affleck (the massive cheater) with Matt Damon, receive advice from Robin Williams character, who I do not recall his name. He was a doctor or scientist, or something like that. I remember he had a gray beard and glasses. I think our Business Class when I was in grade 10 saw it for a second time. Those were my high school days.
@@LastLetterisZed702Massive cheater? In real life or in this movie?
Mm
Never has a film hit me so hard, had tears of joy, anger and sadness. Honestly can say that I can re watch it as many times as I want and it will still hit me hard. One of my favourite films
I feel the same way about Dumb and Dumber. So you're saying there's a chance...
woke - A neers has more say than me
Agreed!
this is what a good friend does.
Also, Scott Winters did so well. The subtle eye movements, body language were on point, like he really was recalling memorized textbook lines
My guess would be he was doing just that. It is a script after all.
@VP Of Rent'em Spoons sequel??
The importance of good non speaking parts and extras: the expression of Jennifer Deathe in the nearby while the verbal fencing is on adds up so much to the scene, she is stunning beautiful
Ya come in to a BAH and pretend to be SMAHT just to impress some ladies? ... My boys WICKED SMAHT. I love Boston accents
Bahstahn*
Not always
Ray2311us sometimes ;)
Dalonghair YES
I think you mean Boahstahn accents
3:22 Will dumbed the guy’s pretentious academic speech down to street talk. Now THAT’S genius.
What? No, he didn't. He met the guy at the same level as the guy, then went above him. Then he chose to give the guy another out, one that was closer to that guy's true motives (embarrass other male, look strong in front of females) but knowing that there was no way this guy was going to be able to match him on that level either.
John Locke yeah shutup go back to the 1600’s John
Ben Affleck's confused ape-like-head-scratching at the 1:37 mark is wonderful acting. It is so subtle but communicates so much. He has so many of these little looks, movements, and gestures in this film that give the character Chuckie such depth of humanity.
“Ape-like” 😂😂
For the first time I heard the background song playing...Almost positive it is Tomy Petty "You Wreck Me"...I am sure many others have already heard this, but I absolutely love that song, and this movie clip...what a happy coincidence!
in real life in a Boston bar ben woulda swung as soon as that nerd said contention
lmfao!! I'm done xD
matt wallace lol
CONTENTION?!?! WTF IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN, HUH?!? You think youah smaht because you know big wouads oah sumptin?

What i find weird is how this Harvard guy is supposed to be intelligent but here he is picking a fight with an obvious boston native. Not a good idea imo
Even if he physically lost a fight he could just chalk it up to something like how idiots/morons/ whateverhewantstocalltheguy cant handle just speaking and have to resort to violence not to mention if hes ivy league his parents will throw a fit and the police will actually do something where otherwise it would just be a shittalker that got what was coming.
@@masterreaper115 Not when all the other townies have Matt's back and tell the police the Harvard douche started the fight! Don't mess with Southie!
Smart guy has no idea how real
buddies look out for each other.
@@ba1428 Amen!
Cause he is book smart not street smart will had both book an street smarts
This scene is great because Will displays what we all aspire to be - a well rounded man. A man who is intelligent, articulate, loyal to his friends even to the point of a brawl if needed. This is opposed to the pony tail guy who was clearly intelligent but cowardly and malicious. Will's character is one who gains respect from men and attraction from the ladies as clearly shown in this scene. A lofty goal for all of us to strive towards.
why is he cowardly? he didn't need to fight. why did the will challenge him?
@@lorenzor124 You’re right that he didn’t need to fight. Most people don’t need to fight when they do. Maybe cowardly is not the right word. He simply knew Will was significantly stronger and he appropriately turned down a brawl. A wise choice. Again, Will is “well-rounded”.
@@lorenzor124 Will challenged pony tail guy to a fight because deep down he is insecure and feels he is unworthy of the girl in the bar unless he can prove himself. He feels that he is unlovable and flawed (due to his broken childhood). His character doesn’t yet realize all of this at this point in the film.
I think the guy with the pony tail would of knocked the little prick out
@@ianprice1607Well stated here
Basically how hipsters argue in every brewery across America nowadays.
Yes! Thank you!

A comment like this under a scene about originality lmao
What's this nation coming to?
Time was when you'd just PUNCH OUT a smart-ass in a bar.
@@SovereignStatesman you got that right. But as time goes on, one idiot gets hurt, then cries in court. Next thing you know we have another law tailored for the lowest common denominator, yet applied to all of us. It's the same logic behind you and I having to obey the same traffic laws as a swerving mouth breather driving 50 in the fast lane with the blinker on.
Never get tired of that scene - or the movie. Brilliant. RIP Robin Williams.
Securing Robin Williams as Dr. Sean Maguire in this film was absolutely critical! Once they had him, this film with its terrific writing was all but assured to be an instant classic. "Your move, chief"
can't I ever watch scenes from old Robin Williams movies without some killjoy in the comments reminding me that he committed suicide?
Little did he know....he almost picked a fight with Jason Bourne 👀
and if he would've followed through with it, he would've gotten whipped.
It’s Matt Damon bud
metallicak5 and Batman
LOL
Jesus Christ...
One of the best barfight scenes without ever throwing a punch. Loved it! Aloha!

I love how Will go "Wood drastically, Wood drastically" like he;s chiding his kid for making up an excuse about not wanting to go to school.
X
-Well as a matter of fact I won’t go to school because school drastically
-School drastically .. School drastically underestimates the potential especially in the Job market. You got that from Steve Jobs
Just because you are working class doesn't mean you`re less intelligent
That’s exactly what it means
Even though I agree with you, I was still so tempted to make a jackass comment where I just said "*you're" but realized it would make me no better than Pony Tail.
Yes absolutely; the reason many Hispanics and African Americans are stuck in the bottom of the socioeconomic strata is because since birth they were born into a poor family that is not educated on all the resources out in the world and by adulthood were convinced they had a seat in the bottom because of their atmosphere and role models. That has nothing to do with intelligence or the government even - systematically speaking, but rather a vicious cycle of being down.
No, it sometimes means that. Not always. And if someone chooses a job that is less prestigious but overall makes them happier even long term, I'd say that's called being smart.
That was to Ken Able.
One of the best smack down scenes in movie history.
I loved it because I went to a good university in the early 90's and saw these pony-tailed grad student assholes trying to impress undergrad girls in bars --- it was just like this scene played out
In the same movie there was one better.......
The slap down Robin William's character Sean gave to Will......finished up with "Your Move Chief"
@@Toadyru You're right. I had to look that up just now. You're absolutely right.

"yeah, maybe, but at least I won't be unoriginal" is my favorite flex in this. You can apply to almost any situation.
Regardless of how academically smart ponytail was, you don’t fuck around with someone who already has a bruise on his face…unless of course you are ready to step onto his turf.
Fuck no! This is just common sense, which a good majority of fucking humans do not have!
"so this is a harvah bar, huh? I thought there'd be like equations and shit on the wall"
Higor Reis Weird that a guy who grew up and lives in Boston and likes to party has never been in a Harvard bar
haha
more like Marxist propaganda and a map with all the safe spaces on campus.
Valden 7 Get some new material pal- cuz the whole safe spaces thing is really tired
rls725 oh oh...someone is triggered. Reality and facts can get you really tired when they don't fit your agenda I see.
