The story is Daryl (MJ) is on break from his upstate highschool and comes back to his old neighborhood and finds his old friends are now gangsters but he still wants to hang out with them. They push him to be more like them but when he is unable to be bad/cool like them he lashes out into song and dance to show them not only is he cool but he's cool in a different way. its based on a real life situation where the actual Daryl was killed by his old friends for changing, so MJ made the music video to show you don't need to be like them to fit in.
The song and dance sequence (shot in color) is only happening in MJ's character's mind. Wesley Snipes and the other two are not seeing what we're seeing. That's why the video goes back to black and white with MJ wearing his hoodie and being alone at the end. This entire video is a nice way to test the level of intelligence of people. A lot of them fail, unfortunately.
Hey, guys! First of all, love your channel, don't stop with the reactions! I'm a HUGE fan of MJ (both as an entertainer and as a human being), but I totally understand the fact that some aspects of this particular music video might feel a bit weird and odd when seen as a 2024 production. However, I believe it's very important to understand that, back in 1987, this was absolutely revolutionary artistically: the whole production of a large-budget cinematic piece of art had never been seen in a MUSIC VIDEO before. Although "Thriller" was... "Thriller", in the "Bad" one, the script, the color effects, the direction, the acting itself, everything was improved to a (1987) Hollywood level of production - Martin Scorsese directing it is a great example of that. Also, regarding Wesley Snipes, this was his "debut" in Hollywood: he'd done some small things before, but his performance in MJ's music video caught the eye of visionary director Spike Lee, who later casted Snipes as one of his most celebrated roles in movies. Finally, if you want to know or explore the whole idea behind "Bad" (not only the song/music video, but also the full album) and how/why it was created and done the way it was, i'd HIGHLY recommend watching "Bad 25", a documentary released in 2012, as a celebration to the 25th birthday of the original album, and magically directed by Spike Lee. Bye, guys - and, please, do more MJ reactions!
This was the long version of the video. MTV usually showed the much shorter version. I was 15 years old in 1988. Those were amazing years we had! Cheers from a Gen X'er in northeast Ohio.
They filmed this in Brooklyn at Hoyt-Shemohorn train station and the reason why its empty is because they blocked off a part of the station to film it...the reason why I know I went to George Westinghouse at the time.
Hey react to the world I love Michael Jackson and I also love watching reactions to his music videos like this one in particular bad which is one of his most iconic and most well known one's I've heard bad so many times and I still enjoy listening to it it still holds up it's a masterpiece back when music was real back when you felt good to be alive I bet when this album of bad first hit the music records there was hype around it bad would be one of my favorite Michael Jackson music videos because he's bad and he's mj and he's the cool kind of bad cool and tough Michael Jackson
7:44 - To answer that question...NOT THAT I CURRENTLY OR HAVE EVER OPERATED THIS WAY 😳, the squad scoped that dealer making a few ends off of drug deals, subtly plotting to rob him- It'd be easier to jump the guy especially since he was disabled, steal all his money (or even his drugs so they sell 'em themselves), and split it between each other 4 ways. However, the pusher was armed (and dangerous) as you saw, giving unsettling indication that he's down to go as far as they're willing to take it (dude's only protecting his turf and earnings). But even in the context of this scene, you can see how uncomfortable Mike's character was, considering he was trying to turn his life around and his friends were still on that same ol' bullshit. That's what Wesley Snipe's character meant by "Hunt's up. Yo, Hunts up, homeboy. I mean we got victims out there waitin' for us!" @ 8:04- 8:14 . That means, although the first attempt failed, there are still plenty of people out there to mug, rob, and become victims of their petty crimes, such as the gentleman at the subway station Mike asked for a quarter. That was "Daryl's aka Foots" old life, but he didn't want to continue down that road. Hope that helps.
And react to the world also watching these Michael Jackson reaction videos makes me want to start collecting Michael Jackson dolls which I'll possibly be getting sometime next month in October I do have some Michael Jackson funko pop figures like the funko pop bad Michael Jackson figure beat it Michael Billie Jean Michael smooch criminal Michael Grammy awards Michael and I have another bad Michael funko pop figure so I actually 6 Michael Jackson figures in total
react to the world the Michael Jackson dolls I'll be getting are the 1984 LJN Michael Jackson dolls which is thriller Michael American music awards Michael beat it Michael Billie Jean Michael and Grammy awards Michael dolls so that will be 5 Michael Jackson dolls they don't make a doll of Michael Jackson from bad not in this line of figures anyway I would get the hot toys Michael Jackson dolls but they are really expensive on ebay and I would rather get the more decent price Michael Jackson dolls that are used but are still in decent enough condition for me

I mean it honestly be an honor to work with Michael Jackson

Dang, MJ's video's got some serious depth!

Testing our perception, huh? Clever move!
💯
How sad, laughing at someone so tortured.
Bro it's fictional short film some of y'all of crazy 😂
@@Whydoesithurtup808.the story is based on a real person that got murdered because his friends became envious of him
@@Whydoesithurtup808. ir's a true story and the guy actually died so know things before talking.
@@Whydoesithurtup808. Imagine calling a real-life tragedy 'fictional' yikes, get some culture.

Will def check out the doc. Great backgrounder too. Thx for sharing!

why are you guys dissing on the goat?
How 😂
The dude is.. not so much his wife
How are the dissing on him?
Saw the comments and thought….i can't watch this 😂 didn't even watch the video the comments said it all
Y'all don't know anything about this video. So, y'all can just shut up.
Yeah they were clueless about this
This is the NYC subway system in 1986😂🎉
They don't understand anything
We didn't understand Weird Al's version either.
I never seen a worse reaction to this classic. How embarrassing
I get the feelling ur not gonna like our next reaction then.
Your comment was all I needed to see. Thanks for saving me from wasting my time.
It wasn’t that BAD come on 😂
I guess I was in the minority of those who actually enjoyed their reaction.
They filmed this in Brooklyn at Hoyt-Shemohorn train station and the reason why its empty is because they blocked off a part of the station to film it...the reason why I know I went to George Westinghouse at the time.
Yeah I’m glad i read the comments first cause now i understand why folks are shitting on this reaction. Lol.
This video and song are amazing.
Love MJ since I’m named after him because of my oldest sister who died 3 months before I was born so his music resonated with me
Dang, wish I was named after someone as legendary!
Funny to think that this song was supposed to be a duet with prince, but prince backed out at the last minute
No way! That would've been epic!
Pheww that was close
amazing...More MJ
It shows how music has declined. Michael Jackson poured his energy into his music, his dance choreography. Its a lost art in this era.
Mj❤❤❤❤ i miss him
Weird Al did a version of this song.
You guys should watch the Bad 25 documentary by Spike Lee.
