Enough with people going back to these reviews saying "Huh, bet Doug feels pretty bad now! These movies are great!" just because Robin is dead now. It doesn't change the films at all, and it doesn't make the review any less competent. It's pretty fucking stupid for anyone to praise and love a movie now, even though they enjoyed the Critic making fun of it before, just because one of it's stars is now dead. News flash people: EVERY person who's EVER been in any movie will be dead one day too. Will that automatically make the movies that they were in great and classic, even if they were awful before? And the fact that it was suicide doesn't change it at all, either. A film is a film.
Seriously. If actors and actresses dying suddenly meant that all of their work was excellent, then John Wayne's "The Conqueror" was freaking cinematic masterpiece, and the film hall of fame can look forward to eventually including brilliant works such as Troll 2, Pocket Ninjas, and The Room among its numbers. After all, eventually the people involved in those movies will all be dead, which by the TH-cam comment section's line of reasoning means that all of those performers, and all of the films they've been involved in, will suddenly be amazing. This entire "OMG, u shud feel badz becuz u didnt liek a movee & teh actur es ded" nonsense is completely ridiculous, and basically amounts to a crapton of idiots trivializing a man's death by turning it into an excuse to bitch about a critic not liking a movie. Never mind that Williams never seemed to have trouble laughing at himself (at least, not from anything I've seen of him), or that Doug Walker has said on several occasions (including in these reviews) that he likes Robin Williams and even used him as inspiration for his own comedy.
As blunt as it is, I agree. Robin Williams death doesn't make his movies immune to criticism, just as Cliff Burton being dead doesn't make Metallica immune to it.
OK what the hell is up with people bashing Doug when it comes to Robin Williams. 1. The Nostalgia Critic is a character. So majority of the time his opinions are either different and/or exaggerated. 2. Doug has gone on record by saying he loved Robin Williams. 3. He doesn't mock him as a person. He's just saying and/or wandering why Williams always stars in films that either mock or abuse his talents. In his reviews he mocks the movies, writing, directors and any other elements that made the film suck. Robin Williams is a great actor. He just happened to have a questionable choice when it comes to starring in movies. 4. Just because you like something doesn't mean you're not allowed to point out it's flaws. 5. Everyone has hit and miss moments and Robin was no exception. Even the greatest actors of all time had been in crap movies. In fact i dare anyone to find an actor who has never starred or been a part of a flop.
I think the 'bashing' is more an outlet for peoples emotions, considering they feel like they lost someone important when Robin Williams died. A bit silly considering most of us only knew him through his performances, but I guess that's the power of making people laugh since childhood. Otherwise, it's obviously just a bunch of trolls trying to start pointless arguments. It's actually VERY obvious that most of the 'bashing' is just trying to start arguments, or even prompt comments like these... I think after Michael Jackson, we all know that there's nothing wrong with criticizing someone. Their death does not erase their mistakes, and a LOT of complaints the NC is shouting at Robin Williams really has more to do with the story and direction of the movie than it does Williams himself. I think it's pretty admirable that NC has never said "God, Robin williams isn't even trying in this movie.", cause it really seems like he brings at least SOME amount of energy and passion to almost every role I've seen so far. It's kinda special.
EthanUnken Yeah that's the thing with him. No matter how crappy the role is he gave it his best. It's just that his best at times isn't enough to survive bad writing.
Laura Drinnon I don't know. He wasn't the best character but I liked him. He was smart and inventive, plus it was cool to see him grow up. The only thing I didn't like was the way his character was phased out in the end. He was headed for Starfleet the whole time and then he does a complete 180 in his very last episode. Then we never heard about him again. BIG-LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT!!!
It was uploaded in 2011. I don't know for sure but I believe it was actually officially made and published by NC prior.(Feel free to make me look like a dumbass and do the research to show it was made in 2011 though)
***** Idk if you're a troll or not. But if you're not a troll all I have to say is. You don't have to like Robin, but a lot of people did/do. He left his mark on entertainment. And there's really nothing you can do about that no matter how much you hate him.
+Chad Jones you re so right. i mean they close a college that has a guy who invented a flying robot with artificial intelligence!! HELLOOO??? every major company in the world should camp on his damn doorstep, trying to bribe him with whatever he likes to get him to work for them!!
Malefizia Professor was really humble. He created Weebo for himself, not for a show. He was genius though, indeed. But it's the same what his enemy said, he was a man of science but he had no clue about "selling" himself and his stuff. He couldn't use his talent to improve his life, was kind of antisocial. You know what I mean. Was very humble and straight as well. These are not characteristic of a wealthy successful businessman or whatever. He did hide in a mask of an average man who's just doing his job. Didn't want to be famous. And he thought that the only way he could save his career was creating something extraordinary EVEN for himself (which was beyond other people dreams). Which was too much. A little cunning mind would be enough to gain anything with his abilities.
Profiledek guess you re right. still that logical whole somehow bugs me. all in all the movie was ok, i prefered the classic version in black and white but this one comes close...except for the flubber dance part ^^
***** Kid, you have no idea what you are talking about. But if you must find another example, he has been known to chastise others with differing opinions from his own in real thought vids and in other various situations where he talks to fans. And his perspective is not a good one. In his dumbasses in distress vid, he used that as a way of telling people that in his eyes, people who are weak in either mind, strength or both are unfit to live. That is Social Darwinism, and Social Darwinism is typically found under fascist or communist regimes. He also complains about cliche and wanting something new. But the bitter truth is, nothing is new anymore. Every story and every trope is known today. It doesn't matter how often something is used, what matters is how it's used when it's used. And he uses his charisma and loud voice to sway people into agreeing with him, those who refuse get trolled either by him or his fans. Face it kid, Doug Walker owns you're brain and soul. Let him go and follow what YOU'RE heart and brain tells you, not what Walker tells you.
+TXF I always thought it was pretty decent. One of Robin's more forgettable movies, yet not so painstakingly terrible I want to gouge my eyes out with Pocky.
Chris Sullivan It's actually one of the ones I think of when I hear his name. Flubber, Bicentennial Man, Aladdin, Patch Adams, Ms. Doubtfire. And obviously others, but that's a few of them.
thegreatninjaman I wasn't going to. I actually like quite a few of the movies NC reviews and makes clear he dislikes. Space Jam being one of the more notable ones.
+TXF For me, my top Robin Williams films would be Aladdin, Jumanji, Good Morning Vietnam and Mrs Doubtfire, so not that far away from your list! But mostly, I'm a big fan of his stint on Whose Line Is It Anyway?.
15:23 _"Wow. So the guy who wrote 'The Breakfast Club' and 'Pretty in Pink' actually had to write the words, "he farted Flubber out of his anus."_ lol.
It's interesting how The late Robin Williams has led me to some good comedy. Let me explain, "Flubber" was a childhood favorite of mine, and even today is still a bit of a guilty pleasure. The NC's review of Flubber was actually the first NC review I've ever seen and I have been hooked ever since. I would like to thank Mr. Williams for giving me comedic joy through my life. I hope Whatever ethereal plane you end up on is a good one.
Pikachu Thirteen in future you could always use the Fallen London method of gender nouns when you don't know the gender. "Good sir...er...ma'...er...yes."
Wow. Not even Williams could make this character anything less than despicable. He's selfish, clueless, obnoxious and downright mean-spirited at times. But worst of all, he NEVER admits fault! No, with allll the mistakes he made, all the damage he caused and people he hurt, by the end of the film he hasn't learned a single goddamn lesson. What a load.
I don't think he hung himself, but people are saying that he might've commit suicide but they are not sure. But still, R.I.P. Robin Williams, we will miss you :(
dragonsareawesome123 Corner's report came out today, suicide by asphyxiation is the official cause of death. They also added that he "hung himself with a belt"
Him forgetting his wedding is not believable. I'm absent minded, but I remember big events. I remember flights and road trips. I remember to pay my rent. Those are nothing compared to a wedding. It violates my suspension of belief.
While the movie is a bad remake of a bad flim and the main character is a bad apple, Robin Williams performance was fine and really how was he going to make such a character better than anyone else which would have only made it wrose or the same. Robin Williams RIP you will be dearly missed. #RIPRobinWilliams
Also, why is Bicentennial Man and Man of the Year bad movies? The latter I can somewhat understand yet its not cuz of Robin who was aussome in it or the message of voter faud by electronics. And B man was AUSSOME!!!
epirus500 my sister loves death to smoocy. I haven't seen it all the way threw so I can't say. Does look funny on how these people go after a guy thats like barney.
I actually think that the weebo death scene in this movie should be among the top 20 ish saddest moments in movies, cuz Weeboo is the only character thats worth a damn in this movie cuz I fell for her (not in love, but you get it) and cried when she died.
And while dated for today, the scene with Flubber "having a party" was aussome to see back in that day, and to a degree if it was just a youtube clip it would be now. I don't blame NC for feeling that way though as it's like one of three things (1. Weebo mostly and sad when she died 2. That scene I just said. 3. somewhat humour in the out there bad guy, especially when Flubber goes thru him) that I liked in this overall bader/est movie remake of what sounds like another bad movie (seeing this didn't want me to see that, especially cuz both do a basketball scene despite the fact it is cheating).
Even if we ignore that this was made long before Robin Williams' suicide, Critic still explicitly states in other reviews that he considered Robin to be both an incredible actor and comedic genius who gets thrown into bad movies.
I guess some people legitimately believe that celebrities can't die and think it's incredibly tragic when they finally kick the bucket. Unless it's suicide or murder, but still, it's not like a painting, the movie isn't going to suddenly become an epic and timeless wonder just because one of the stars died.
Just because someone died doesnt mean everything they have made all of a sudden perfect? Doug appears to respect Williams, jusfnot this stupid piece of shit movie.
soulmatesneverdiex I didn't say he didn't, and I'm not saying that he nor I have a negative opinion about Williams. I'm just saying that his death isn't going to suddenly make some movies such as flubber a timeless classic.
Nostalgia Critics problem with this film is that he thinks of it as a comedy, if you think of it as a child's first science fiction movie, its brilliant.
It's funny how I see so many comments saying "Check the upload date, idiots. This is before Robin Williams died. Stop hating on the NC." And I see NO posts of ANYONE saying "Wow, the critics an ass. That guys dead." ...Irony is a wonderful thing.
EchoExtremefortheQueen Lol an unexpected result during a predictable situation. Not exact dictionary definition, but that's not the exact case here. What word would you use?
Interesting Fact: Robin Williams was John Hughes’s first choice to play the lead. Other actors included Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd, John Lithgow, Tim Allen, Patrick Stewart and John Goodman
Meavy Hetal Okay, I'm done joking around. I will tolerate comments that have a genuine grievance with Robin Williams. I will tolerate people saying they don't like him. But when people start saying they're glad someone is DEAD, that's where I draw the line. Either bring something meaningful and non-hateful to the table or shut up.
"But he's approached by that one guy, whose name you can't remember, but always recognise because he's the asshole in every role that his in" Coffee almost went everywhere xD It's so accurate though.
John Hughes actually wrote the screenplay by himself. The "other writer" was the guy who wrote the screenplay for the 1961 Absent-Minded Professor original. Bill Walsh was his name. Another thing was that he actually died in 1975, so his credit in the movie was actually posthumous because elements of his original script were kept.
+Shelston So tell me, what exactly is the irony? The fact that Robin's character said that line, then 20 years later Robin himself died? Do you even know what the word "irony" actually means?
Come on, if we apply that logic nobody could ever joke about death again. Technically, everyone will die so laughing at someone's death will always end up being awkward
I have been watching Nostalgia Critic so much that I have actually unknowingly adopted his speech habits, for instance I have been trying to break my habit of starting a sentence with 'I mean' and now I know how it started :S but I can't stop watching him, he's too entertaining!
I dont care if Robin Williams is dead. Flubber fucking sucked. It sucked in 1997 and it still sucks now. Sure, Robin had good films (Aladdin, Mrs Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting) but just cause he's dead doesn't mean his shit films become masterpieces. When Cory Monteith died it didn't mean Glee suddenly became top shit. No. Glee still sucks. Nostalgia critic hated this film because it sucked. That is all
DragonPhlegm Actually, I think you'll find that this is very common. Most artist's works don't get any respect or recognition until they've died. It's silly, for sure, but true. As for Flubber, I loved this movie as a child. As an adult, I find Nostalgia Critic makes very, VERY, valid points, but I still think it's a cute a fun movie. A shitty one, for sure, but still cute. That's just my opinion though. TL;DR, You're absolutely right but this shit happens all the fucking time and I don't know why
I know Robin is dead, but that doesn't mean everything he did was sacred. He was a great man. The critic made a just review and that shouldn't be changed by the fact that some of the people involved in the film are dead. Jeez, some people need to toughen up. It's unfortunate he died, but that shouldn't change the quality of what he did.
4:17 _"But . . . . wait a minute. What about f*cking Weebo?"_ I know, right? "I wish I had some unique ideas I could patent, artificially-intelligent, anti-gravitational robot. Now bring me a beer."
The ending would have been better if the lady finally figured how bad of a husband he would have been and said no to the whole 4th wedding thing that he didn't show upto; and instead he married his AI which obviously is somehow smarter than everyone else in the show.
You know when you know you're basic? When you think Nostalgia Critic should feel guilty because Robin Williams is dead now. It's such a bandwagon, group think "oh, now I love him because he's dead" mentality. He was in shitty movies and personally, I feel like he was overrated. Oh well.
Here's something I think these people need to consider: If Tommy Wiseau were to die in an accident (knock on wood), would The Room suddenly become a masterpiece?
I just hate the mentality of "oh, someone died, we should go find a guy's criticism over something this person did and shame him for it now that he's dead". People did it with Michael Jackson too, going to his Moonwalker review and trying to guilt trip him over it. That's retarded.
I wonder if the bad guy survived. I guess he just fainted, but it looked like the flubber went straight from his mouth to his ass, shredding his insides.
The comments on these Robin Williams movies annoy me to no end. Yes, Robin Williams died, but that doesn't mean that every single one of his movies should be considered a masterpiece because of it. A bad movie is still a bad movie, and no-one should have to feel bad for pointing that out. It's also pretty funny how people were completely agreeing with these reviews until Williams' death, but afterwards they're considered inappropriate and unjustified somehow.
This was one of those rare movies as a kid (being maybe, like 6 or 7) where I honestly looked at the movie and thought "hey maybe some movies can be godawful"
My teacher put this on not too long ago in my Chemistry Class, but I had no idea what was going on because I couldn't follow because no one in my class would pipe down. Some parts looked interesting, but were only there to do that: Look interesting. Especially the little clips that the robot was showing. Had the name of the clips been displayed, then this movie would have had more forced advertisements than the Inspector Gadget movie.
yes but again critic has a back up plan remember how he got backlash over Mako next thing you no he does like 5 rant videos cause his fan base gave him threats
Oh of course he does! I'm not saying he doesn't, just some people judge to easily and get mad, u know how TH-cam commenters are at times... They get a bit rowdy. XD but seriously I hope no one takes the reviews seriously, critic said himself he knows he's a good actor.
funny thing is is that i never watched Star Trek TNG before seeing this. I watched Flubber alot as a kid, so when i finally started watching TNG i was like "Hey is that kid on Flubber?" Now its weird seeing Wesley in Flubber.
The movie doesn't seem too horrible. But seriously why would you marry a guy who wouldn't even show up for the wedding? 4 TIMES?! Even if she just loved him THAT much, she should've hogtied him and dragged him to it by the second one. Weddings aren't cheap ya know, plus those guests have lives too, they can't just drop everything whenever you want to get married.
RIP Robin Williams. I remember this film as a kid. Very over the top but Flubber worked with Robin Williams and Jodi Benson voiced the robot who fancied him.
"Why's she marrying him???" Critic, let me explain something to you... HE HAS A FUCKING FLYING CAR. You can get a decent looking bimbo with a Volvo without couple of wheels, and when you have a FUCKING FLYING CAR? I guess the bigger question is how come he stayed with her.
JoeRingo118 But he's actually not a scientist, he's an experimentalist. And he does have his AI companion to help him remember things, she deliberately didn't remind him of the wedding because she's jealous.
+Chris Sullivan He's not supposed to see her in her dress before the wedding, it's considered bad luck. But I think now it's done more so he'll be surprised when he sees her come down the aisle.
Funny thing about this film is he just invented perpetual motion, namely enough energy to end world hunger/stop all pollution/make us all live like kings, and the movie glosses over this like 'hey, he can make a bad team win at basketball, yay!' xD
It's sad when a person can create life, but be such an utter fuckwit. I mean he fails utterly as a human being, and a scientist. I agree with Doug, she should have left his ass. At least the Professor would have Weebo there for him, and she could always be rebuilt. Although their children would see how utterly useless humans are from watching him and then take over the world.
Enough with people going back to these reviews saying "Huh, bet Doug feels pretty bad now! These movies are great!" just because Robin is dead now.
It doesn't change the films at all, and it doesn't make the review any less competent.
It's pretty fucking stupid for anyone to praise and love a movie now, even though they enjoyed the Critic making fun of it before, just because one of it's stars is now dead.
News flash people: EVERY person who's EVER been in any movie will be dead one day too. Will that automatically make the movies that they were in great and classic, even if they were awful before?
And the fact that it was suicide doesn't change it at all, either. A film is a film.
This was said PERFECTLY
Seriously. If actors and actresses dying suddenly meant that all of their work was excellent, then John Wayne's "The Conqueror" was freaking cinematic masterpiece, and the film hall of fame can look forward to eventually including brilliant works such as Troll 2, Pocket Ninjas, and The Room among its numbers.

Someone give this guy a metal.
i find it funny when some idiot is like how dare the critic make fun of williams before he died

Patrick Donnolley um, idk if you know, but putting "/s/" ina comment means that i was being sarcastic...
Patrick Stewart saying "shut up Wesley" is one of the most satisfying things I've heard all day
I agree, Wesley was, in my opinion, was the most fucking annoying character in the next generation
Laura Drinnon I don't know. He wasn't the best character but I liked him. He was smart and inventive, plus it was cool to see him grow up.

"Why don't they just call this movie 'shit bounces and no one laughs'?" That's actually a very good question.
the people saying dat NC is being a bad person for making fun of a dead person should now this review was made in 2011 robin williams died in 2014

I sense a dumb brony

This guy apparently.
No one ever worth something. Only cowards and sleazebags ditch their loved ones at the altar (especially multiple times).
I never even realized Flubber was considered bad. I actually enjoyed it.
TXF if you like it, then like it. dont hate something because someone tells you too
+TXF I always thought it was pretty decent. One of Robin's more forgettable movies, yet not so painstakingly terrible I want to gouge my eyes out with Pocky.

What is it with 90s comedy movies and slapstick with cartoon sound effects?
15:23 _"Wow. So the guy who wrote 'The Breakfast Club' and 'Pretty in Pink' actually had to write the words, "he farted Flubber out of his anus."_
lol.
I made it pass the "R.I.P Robin Williams" and the "Critic should feel bad now." comments...so refreshing to see old comments!
Why do magical things in movies stop behaving magical when someone other than the main character is looking directly at that thing?

Like in the _Toy Story_ movies?
It's interesting how The late Robin Williams has led me to some good comedy.
Let me explain,
"Flubber" was a childhood favorite of mine, and even today is still a bit of a guilty pleasure.
The NC's review of Flubber was actually the first NC review I've ever seen and I have been hooked ever since.
I would like to thank Mr. Williams for giving me comedic joy through my life. I hope Whatever ethereal plane you end up on is a good one.

I say Man/Woman cause I don't know your gender Good Sir/Ma'am
Thank You, I'm a guy for the record.

you are most welcome :3

in future you could always use the Fallen London method of gender nouns when you don't know the gender. "Good sir...er...ma'...er...yes."
Wow. Not even Williams could make this character anything less than despicable. He's selfish, clueless, obnoxious and downright mean-spirited at times. But worst of all, he NEVER admits fault! No, with allll the mistakes he made, all the damage he caused and people he hurt, by the end of the film he hasn't learned a single goddamn lesson. What a load.

Robin Williams hung himself today. This may have been a horrible movie, but he was a great actor :(
RIP
I don't think he hung himself, but people are saying that he might've commit suicide but they are not sure. But still, R.I.P. Robin Williams, we will miss you :(
He didn't hang himself.
Actually, he had an over dose of his happy pills. That and he cut his wrist.
Still, I'm really gonna miss him. : (

Also, you don't say "hung himself", you say "hanged himself". There's a difference between objects and humans.
dragonsareawesome123 Corner's report came out today, suicide by asphyxiation is the official cause of death. They also added that he "hung himself with a belt"
Him forgetting his wedding is not believable. I'm absent minded, but I remember big events. I remember flights and road trips. I remember to pay my rent. Those are nothing compared to a wedding. It violates my suspension of belief.
Mrs. Doubtfire was good in my opinion
Shelby Longbottom it was, NC liked it, he was referring to Williams' other work like Patch Adams, Man of the Year, etc
+Coolartist1110 He was Teddy?
While the movie is a bad remake of a bad flim and the main character is a bad apple, Robin Williams performance was fine and really how was he going to make such a character better than anyone else which would have only made it wrose or the same.
Robin Williams RIP you will be dearly missed.
#RIPRobinWilliams
Also, why is Bicentennial Man and Man of the Year bad movies?
The latter I can somewhat understand yet its not cuz of Robin who was aussome in it or the message of voter faud by electronics.
And B man was AUSSOME!!!
I always thought Robin Williams made this movie. I just loved his acting and portrayal of this absent-minded scientist character.
Mathew Clemence
i agree bicentennial man was a good film also death to smootchy i hear wasnt bad and is considered something of a cult film
epirus500 my sister loves death to smoocy. I haven't seen it all the way threw so I can't say.
Does look funny on how these people go after a guy thats like barney.
no shock here. as soon as robin Williams dies, everyone praises even his most mediocre of achievements
I"m a big Robin Williams fan, sadly in this movie, he's portrayed as an unlikable jerk.
It doesn't help that he loses her and literally has someone ready and waiting but is too stupid to understand
I actually think that the weebo death scene in this movie should be among the top 20 ish saddest moments in movies, cuz Weeboo is the only character thats worth a damn in this movie cuz I fell for her (not in love, but you get it) and cried when she died.
I cried...
And while dated for today, the scene with Flubber "having a party" was aussome to see back in that day, and to a degree if it was just a youtube clip it would be now. I don't blame NC for feeling that way though as it's like one of three things (1. Weebo mostly and sad when she died 2. That scene I just said. 3. somewhat humour in the out there bad guy, especially when Flubber goes thru him) that I liked in this overall bader/est movie remake of what sounds like another bad movie (seeing this didn't want me to see that, especially cuz both do a basketball scene despite the fact it is cheating).
She's like Eve before Eve, who funny enough I fell for
Even if we ignore that this was made long before Robin Williams' suicide, Critic still explicitly states in other reviews that he considered Robin to be both an incredible actor and comedic genius who gets thrown into bad movies.
W.E.B.O.--- The first robot to be friendzoned by a human.
How disappointing and sad
why would NC feel bad for a review he made just because Williams died?
I guess some people legitimately believe that celebrities can't die and think it's incredibly tragic when they finally kick the bucket. Unless it's suicide or murder, but still, it's not like a painting, the movie isn't going to suddenly become an epic and timeless wonder just because one of the stars died.
Just because someone died doesnt mean everything they have made all of a sudden perfect? Doug appears to respect Williams, jusfnot this stupid piece of shit movie.
soulmatesneverdiex
I didn't say he didn't, and I'm not saying that he nor I have a negative opinion about Williams. I'm just saying that his death isn't going to suddenly make some movies such as flubber a timeless classic.
'This is a big f**king deal!'
I love that part XD
Nostalgia Critics problem with this film is that he thinks of it as a comedy, if you think of it as a child's first science fiction movie, its brilliant.
It's funny how I see so many comments saying "Check the upload date, idiots. This is before Robin Williams died. Stop hating on the NC." And I see NO posts of ANYONE saying "Wow, the critics an ass. That guys dead."
...Irony is a wonderful thing.
HE DELETED IT! CALLED ITTT
That's not what irony is.
+EchoExtremefortheQueen Yes it is.
Daryl Joplin No it isn't, Look up what it is
EchoExtremefortheQueen Lol an unexpected result during a predictable situation. Not exact dictionary definition, but that's not the exact case here. What word would you use?
I LOVED Flubber as a kid. It's kind of a guilty pleasure.
Slightly disappointed the NC didn't use the 'I HOLD, IN MY MORTAL HAND, A NUGGET OF PUREST GREEN!' clip from Blackadder.
Interesting Fact: Robin Williams was John Hughes’s first choice to play the lead. Other actors included Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd, John Lithgow, Tim Allen, Patrick Stewart and John Goodman
"Zomg how dar u not liek deh moovie Wobin Williams iz ded now1!!1!"
* shoots Robert Patterson*
You love Twilight now?
When you realize Robin Williams is dead for the first time since 2014 and this just makes you shed an invisible tear of 'Why?'
I like Flubber....
That's fine
Afham Zaki Ur not alone.
Afham Zaki Haven't seen it in a while, but I liked it too.
I liked it as well.
Afham Zaki Me too.
Ech, Her didn't reach these levels of disturbance that this film brought.
I finally found a movie I loved as a kid that he totally rips apart. I now realize the true beauty of these videos.
I personally would have build a female android body for weebo and have gone with her.
dats creepy
IntenslyClassicGamer no, that's science!
Definitely
The whole Weebo loving Robin Williams is the inspiration for "Her"...just less creepy.
lot24 yea i can totally see that
Neither of them are creepy though
Those evil laughing scenes are kinda funny too. Especially when you put it after every scene in The Good Son review.
8:50 That maybe my favorite NC scream.
R.I.P Robin Williams :(
Rest in peace you great man.
a great man gone too soon he will always be one of the greatest actors ever
Meavy Hetal Trip-trapping over the troll bridge, I see.
I miss Robin Williams
Meavy Hetal Okay, I'm done joking around. I will tolerate comments that have a genuine grievance with Robin Williams. I will tolerate people saying they don't like him. But when people start saying they're glad someone is DEAD, that's where I draw the line. Either bring something meaningful and non-hateful to the table or shut up.
I remember being afraid of Flubber. And after seeing this video, it seems I'm afraid of it for other reasons.
I miss Robert William and love fluber
Ofcourse she married him in the end, imagine the money made from the FLYING CAR
"But he's approached by that one guy, whose name you can't remember, but always recognise because he's the asshole in every role that his in"
Coffee almost went everywhere xD It's so accurate though.
He was always my favourite comedian. RIP, Robin Williams!
John Hughes actually wrote the screenplay by himself. The "other writer" was the guy who wrote the screenplay for the 1961 Absent-Minded Professor original. Bill Walsh was his name. Another thing was that he actually died in 1975, so his credit in the movie was actually posthumous because elements of his original script were kept.
"I'd rather die than disappoint you" oh the irony
I'm going to hell for laughing at that
Alex De Avila Ehh, hell ain't that bad
That pretty much sums up Robin Williams. Sucks he's gone.
***** Nah....I don't do other people's dirty work
+Shelston
So tell me, what exactly is the irony? The fact that Robin's character said that line, then 20 years later Robin himself died?
Do you even know what the word "irony" actually means?
This review is dedicated to the memory of Dale.
robert:"i'll rather die he disappoint you"
critic:promise
I bet critic regret that joke now
Come on, if we apply that logic nobody could ever joke about death again. Technically, everyone will die so laughing at someone's death will always end up being awkward
Alright , making Science Star Wesley actually flunk his Science courses is a smart little thing in the movie
Robin Williams just died, rest in piece man
*Dale is deeeaaAAAAAAaadddd!!!* XD
Also, the Ghostbusters part had me rolling!
The hologram scene. No Star Wars joke? Really? No "Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."?
That would have been great!
You could just make the joke yourself. "Help me, Robin Williams! You're my only hope."
Robin Williams Makes Both Artificial Life And Organic life. ...
I have been watching Nostalgia Critic so much that I have actually unknowingly adopted his speech habits, for instance I have been trying to break my habit of starting a sentence with 'I mean' and now I know how it started :S but I can't stop watching him, he's too entertaining!
I dont care if Robin Williams is dead. Flubber fucking sucked. It sucked in 1997 and it still sucks now. Sure, Robin had good films (Aladdin, Mrs Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting) but just cause he's dead doesn't mean his shit films become masterpieces. When Cory Monteith died it didn't mean Glee suddenly became top shit. No. Glee still sucks. Nostalgia critic hated this film because it sucked. That is all
DragonPhlegm hey, I like flubber.
connor hudock that's your opinion
hey, not knocking your opinion, just using sarcastic sadness.
connor hudock *grabs popcorn*
DragonPhlegm Actually, I think you'll find that this is very common. Most artist's works don't get any respect or recognition until they've died. It's silly, for sure, but true.
As for Flubber, I loved this movie as a child. As an adult, I find Nostalgia Critic makes very, VERY, valid points, but I still think it's a cute a fun movie. A shitty one, for sure, but still cute. That's just my opinion though.
TL;DR, You're absolutely right but this shit happens all the fucking time and I don't know why
I remember seeing a trailer for this as a kid while watching Disneys Peter Pan thought it looked pretty cool XD
I know Robin is dead, but that doesn't mean everything he did was sacred. He was a great man. The critic made a just review and that shouldn't be changed by the fact that some of the people involved in the film are dead. Jeez, some people need to toughen up. It's unfortunate he died, but that shouldn't change the quality of what he did.
when Ariel started singing in the car I was done, so so funny
I remember watch this when i was 5-6 years old. I really liked this back then.
4:17 _"But . . . . wait a minute. What about f*cking Weebo?"_
I know, right? "I wish I had some unique ideas I could patent, artificially-intelligent, anti-gravitational robot. Now bring me a beer."
The ending would have been better if the lady finally figured how bad of a husband he would have been and said no to the whole 4th wedding thing that he didn't show upto; and instead he married his AI which obviously is somehow smarter than everyone else in the show.
You know when you know you're basic? When you think Nostalgia Critic should feel guilty because Robin Williams is dead now.
It's such a bandwagon, group think "oh, now I love him because he's dead" mentality. He was in shitty movies and personally, I feel like he was overrated. Oh well.
Here's something I think these people need to consider: If Tommy Wiseau were to die in an accident (knock on wood), would The Room suddenly become a masterpiece?
Russell Brown
Yeah exactly.
Russell Brown
The Room IS a masterpiece though.
dunnowy123 this review was made before he died
I just hate the mentality of "oh, someone died, we should go find a guy's criticism over something this person did and shame him for it now that he's dead". People did it with Michael Jackson too, going to his Moonwalker review and trying to guilt trip him over it. That's retarded.
I wonder if the bad guy survived. I guess he just fainted, but it looked like the flubber went straight from his mouth to his ass, shredding his insides.
*LOL, I was thinking the same thing.*
The "Dale I'd dead" part had me laughing so hard lol
The comments on these Robin Williams movies annoy me to no end. Yes, Robin Williams died, but that doesn't mean that every single one of his movies should be considered a masterpiece because of it. A bad movie is still a bad movie, and no-one should have to feel bad for pointing that out. It's also pretty funny how people were completely agreeing with these reviews until Williams' death, but afterwards they're considered inappropriate and unjustified somehow.
R.I.P Robin Williams you were a funny actor.
Rip Robin Williams.
That Ghostbusters reference with the blowjob part had me pissin myself laughing!!
Flubber was a childhood now its a guilty pleasure I do owe this on DVD
This was one of those rare movies as a kid (being maybe, like 6 or 7) where I honestly looked at the movie and thought "hey maybe some movies can be godawful"
My teacher put this on not too long ago in my Chemistry Class, but I had no idea what was going on because I couldn't follow because no one in my class would pipe down. Some parts looked interesting, but were only there to do that: Look interesting. Especially the little clips that the robot was showing. Had the name of the clips been displayed, then this movie would have had more forced advertisements than the Inspector Gadget movie.
Flubber looks like jelly, I can't be the only one wonders if it tastes like it too.
Yeah, I bet it taste like lemon :p
Jose peña i bet it would taste like a bin bag.
I bet it tastes like apple flavored jelly.
I don't care how bad some of his movies were. He was always lovable in his roles and you could tell he had fun. He'll be missed. RIP Robin
Why was the Professor and his fiancé working on the day of their wedding? Shouldn't they be getting ready on the BIGGEST DAY OF THEI LIVES!?
I loved this movie as a kid and still do...but that is mostly because Nostalgia.
Now that robin Williams is sadly passed, u are gonna get a lot of chaos on ur robin Williams movie reviews. 0_o
Unfortunately...yes
yes but again critic has a back up plan remember how he got backlash over Mako next thing you no he does like 5 rant videos cause his fan base gave him threats
Oh of course he does! I'm not saying he doesn't, just some people judge to easily and get mad, u know how TH-cam commenters are at times... They get a bit rowdy. XD but seriously I hope no one takes the reviews seriously, critic said himself he knows he's a good actor.
Even though he explicitly stated that Robin Williams is a good actor, yet is put in films that don't allow him to flourish.
But Mako was ALREADY dead when he made the TMNT video. Robin was still alive when this video was made. There's a difference.
Lol, I never noticed that Wesley was in this movie. Oh lord...
Shut up Wesley!!!
Stephen Terry WHEATON!
funny thing is is that i never watched Star Trek TNG before seeing this. I watched Flubber alot as a kid, so when i finally started watching TNG i was like "Hey is that kid on Flubber?" Now its weird seeing Wesley in Flubber.
Rest In Peace Robin Williams.
Thank you for making a Star Trek reference! So much win!!
The movie doesn't seem too horrible. But seriously why would you marry a guy who wouldn't even show up for the wedding? 4 TIMES?! Even if she just loved him THAT much, she should've hogtied him and dragged him to it by the second one. Weddings aren't cheap ya know, plus those guests have lives too, they can't just drop everything whenever you want to get married.
You know, as bad as this film is, I still love it. Some of the comedy is pretty funny and does have it's good moments.
Dale may be dead......but WHAT ABOUT BOOMER?!?!?
"Boomer... Will LIVE"
This is a big fricken deal!!
RIP Robin Williams. I remember this film as a kid. Very over the top but Flubber worked with Robin Williams and Jodi Benson voiced the robot who fancied him.
2:58 ouch that probably came back to bite NC
I don't think it was directed to Robin himsef, just the character he was potraying.
Labyethan well, yes. I didn't think he'd actually meant that
"Why's she marrying him???"
Critic, let me explain something to you... HE HAS A FUCKING FLYING CAR. You can get a decent looking bimbo with a Volvo without couple of wheels, and when you have a FUCKING FLYING CAR? I guess the bigger question is how come he stayed with her.
8:50 AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Rest in comedy heaven, Robin Williams.
I seen this film last night. RIP Robin Williams.You will be forever missed.I found it freaky that Weebo was in love with Phillip.
Kinda oversimplified why Robin Williams' character doesn't make it to the wedding. He's not a jackass, he just has piss-poor memory.
JoeRingo118 ?
JoeRingo118 But he's actually not a scientist, he's an experimentalist. And he does have his AI companion to help him remember things, she deliberately didn't remind him of the wedding because she's jealous.
JoeRingo118 You could bitch about anything, couldn't you?
JoeRingo118 It's a fucking kids movie, you fucking moron.
JoeRingo118 yup
2:41 Wait, what? Since when do husbands see their brides hours before their wedding? Isn't there some sort of tradition against that?
+Chris Sullivan I don't know. No one mentions it much.
+Chris Sullivan He's not supposed to see her in her dress before the wedding, it's considered bad luck. But I think now it's done more so he'll be surprised when he sees her come down the aisle.
Oh screw it! I LIKE THIS MOVIE!!!
Funny thing about this film is he just invented perpetual motion, namely enough energy to end world hunger/stop all pollution/make us all live like kings, and the movie glosses over this like 'hey, he can make a bad team win at basketball, yay!' xD
Rest in peace, Robin Williams.
i know everyone will hate me when i say this but just because robin williams is dead dosen't make his movies better R.I.P robin williams
No, that just shows that you're smart.
thank you
I didn't like most of RW films, loved mork and mindy but to be honest, to me, it felt like the same character in most of films
Sorry to burst your bubble, but honestly most of his performances were decent or amazing, but most of the movies he starred in weren't that good
eggacly
It's sad when a person can create life, but be such an utter fuckwit. I mean he fails utterly as a human being, and a scientist. I agree with Doug, she should have left his ass. At least the Professor would have Weebo there for him, and she could always be rebuilt.
Although their children would see how utterly useless humans are from watching him and then take over the world.
