They're also just terrible people tbh. Like his mom acts like it's so unreasonable for Kevin to be upset about his pizza being eaten, a pizza which is the only kind he can eat, and then when he expresses his annoyance at her she offers him no sympathy whatsoever.
As someone from a big family, you don't lose people like that. You count off when you get in the car (my family had a number system lol). You count off whenever you reach places. As an older sibling, you count the family every forty seconds without even thinking about it. You panic slightly if you can't see someone, and sigh with relief when you realize that they were just out of your line of sight. Losing a kid, even with a family of twelve (ish?), is completely unrealistic.
I'm not even part of a big family but I had pretty neglected adult. I always check to make sure I can see the kids no matter where I was. When they're very little. I held their hands so they couldn't run off. Made sure we stuck together. No one went to the restroom alone. I timed how long they were gone. My siblings starting to do that too. So yeah, They are bad parents and he has bad siblings.
Oldest of 4 kids. We’re all adults or teens now but I still have a habit of checking for everyone in any group I’m in and freak out if I can’t see my baby sister when we’re all out and about together. I do think someone miscounts in the first movie as they get into the van and then they’re in a rush at the airport but how did they not recognize it when boarding?
I come from a big family. We had a buddy system. Each kid would have a buddy, and the pair would keep track of each other, and the youngest would always be with mom/dad since they were the baby. It'd help them keep track of us, and they'd always tell us "make sure your buddy's okay"
Yup. My mother was abusive and I was the scapegoat and my brother was the Golden Child. I watched the first Home Alone with my kid a couple years ago for the first time since I was a child and holy crap the first part was triggering as hell! As a kid, I thought it was just normal stuff that everyone goes through. As an adult, it was like someone adapted my trauma and put it on screen but played it for laughs.
As an adult I'm always wondering what job did his dad have to afford that house a vacation and plane trip tickets for all those people and still have extra cash
Don't forget the mom telling him "Well you got your wish last year, maybe you'll get it this year too." Like What the fuck? Go ahead and bring up the trauma of you forgetting he existed and make him take the blame for it.
I like how they disregard that their picky-eater child's only food (for tonigh, during a treat) was eaten and they expect him to eat something that he doesn't like and not react. . Pizza is a treat, so why would he eat what he doesn't like? it wouldn't be a treat it'd be a disaster.
Yea the parents didn’t even do anything when they found out that someone ate his pizza- like his brother couldn’t keep his hands on his own food or something. Also, I like both of your username references
Exactly. What, do you expect him to starve himself? I'm a picky eater and I take the cheese off of pizza because I don't like the texture of melted cheese on pizza; any other cheese is fine, I can eat it without almost gagging at the texture, but I digress. Because of this, I could eat almost any pizza, as long as it doesn't have a different sauce or ingredients, and I can just peel off the cheese and take the toppings with it. Because of this, when my parents order pizza, I eat whatever pizza my 3 siblings are eating less of that time. For example, if we have the pizza that my parents are eating, and 1 pepperoni and 1 cheese pizza, and my siblings are eating the cheese pizza, I eat the pepperoni pizza, which I prefer anyways, because I swear that there's more flavor there or something, like the flavor and spice of the pepperoni just seeped through the cheese and into the sauce or something. But yeah. If a kid is picky and has a comfort food, or a go to food that's good for when dinner isn't gonna work for them, let them eat it. When I was younger, I legitimately would make myself throw up if forced to eat something that I didn't like. I just wouldn't eat. Sitting a kid at a table and telling them that if they don't eat a certain food, they won't get anything else to eat doesn't work. They'll either sneak a couple crackers or just sit there hungry.
The stunts in general how tf did they not die in the first movie 👀 literally so many things that should have killed them then the second movie came and they really should have died with the paint buckets and the weight hitting their head. Then falling down the hole.
Honestly, those traps Kevin rigs up terrify me to my core as an adult because that shit can maim you at best and straight up kill you at worst. That kid ain't right in the head.
@@aureliamckay4095 That’s wild! My newly formed & less horrific “theory,” is that he became a survivalist, moved to a compound in the Australian outback & mentored Erin from “You’re Next.”
But u also gotta remember that hes a kid. Obviously kids will do anything to keep the bad guys away. So he put up anything and everything to hurt them. But then again the fire trap was obviously gonna burn someone so- I really don't know 😃
I recently rewatched this movie (I’m 27) and I was shocked at how Kevin’s family was treating him. They all treated him like shit and kept freezing him out for stuff he didn’t do. Even the adults were calling him names. Then the mom was all gungho about making sure he was safe and pretended like she cared when she did nothing to protect him before. Shameful
That family is rich as hell people with the kinda of money they gotta just give a “donation” to child protective services and the case is dropped . Trust me I ask that question every time I hear and see wild nonsense from some parents.
My thing is, if Kevin’s dad could afford to take the entire family on vacation every year… They couldn’t afford a nanny to make sure Kevin wouldn’t be left again?
Yeah,why didn't they hire a caretaker for the fucking house? Kevin wouldn't have to worry about being alone, and also it'd be extra help when the dumb and dumber robbers show up
You know what surprised me while rewatching as an adult? How short the part with the booby traps actually lasts compared to the rest of the movie. I honestly was like "Wait, there was something else?"
Right!? I always thought the movie was mostly insane booby traps & shenanigans, but a rewatch years later included more non-hijinks/high jinks than I remembered.
Everyone always wonders what the dad did for work, he was a politician. Explains how he could afford the house and why they didn't immediately call law enforcement as they were afraid of bad PR.
Also the big question people are bringing up now, how on Earth did Kevin's dad afford to taking the entire family and cousins to Paris in the first movie? What was he doing for a living?!
Not to mention that house. Even in the 90s, a house like that would be expensive af. I never thought of this as a kid but watching it now, I can't help noticing these things. Adulting sucks. Lol
Reminds me of rewatching my favorite Christmas movies as a kid (The Santa Clause trilogy with Tim Allen) but as a adult, and I'm like "wait, he just killed this guy and stole his clothes and ride and we're supposed to root for him now?" And the 2nd's ending had me "wouldn't pretending to be someone you're not anymore using magic to change your looks and threatening her with ruining the childhoods of all the kids around the world (that celebrate Christmas anyway) to get her to marry him be entrapment?" and of course "so we just ignore him being an absent/negligent father to his kid because he's Santa and therefore busy? And you expect me to believe the only issue the kid has with their relationship is that he can't tell others that his dad is Santa?"
Yes. Even YEARS later I'm still wondering how the robbers never died during the traps or Kevin being taken by CPS. Or Buzz never got an ass whopping for being a shit head to Kevin.
@@nationalinstituteofcheese3012 I also hold grudges to certain people in my own family because of that, cps was involved almost my whole life and they took action in my early teenage years.
I'm suprised that CPS hasn't gotten involed, or I don't know, one of the neighbors tell the police that they've been "accidentally" leaving Kevin behind. Though if you're living in a house like that, and have that many kids, I'm sure the parents could slide some money over to CPS to shut them up.
EXACTLY.

There is a new home alone movie. Kevin created a security company and Buzz works for the PD apparently Kevin calls in every year to report a kid left home alone to remind him that they left him alone twice lol
@@kaden587 yeah but as iris described,that's just a reference to the first 2,and rather unfortunately Disney thought we'd want to route for a psycho version of the fat kid from JoJo rabbit
OMG I watched Home Alone 1&2 a few days ago and this echoes my exact thoughts about it! Like what the heck, shouldn't they have noticed the kid was missing the first time when they went through security? Or boarding? Or virtually any stage at the airport that forces you to slow down and go one at a time? Second time a bit more understandable but the mom instead of making sure everyone went in should have a done a second headcount before going in, and the dad should be more aware of his kid. Also, both of those burglars should be dead in multiple ways because of what that Kevin puts them through! And the parents should be treating Kevin better because in both movie's conflicts it was pretty obvious which kid was in the wrong first so they should come down on Buzz twice as hard as they do on Kevin!
I’m really surprised that people thought Kevin was being a jerk in the first film like he was being ignored, insulted and his brother ate the only pizza he liked- ALL OF IT and he’s the only one to be punished?
I have 4 kids. When they were younger I was constantly counting to make sure I had all of them everywhere we went. Kevin's parents didn't count their kids not one time in the airport? How do you have more than 2 kids and not be constantly checking to make sure they're all still with you? How do you get all the way on the plane and not make sure your child is with you? These parents were terrible.
The biggest change for me as an adult that wasn't mentioned was me constantly complaining about repair/replacement costs from all the damages those traps Kevin made.
I literally just watched home alone 1&2 again just a few days ago and the first thing that went through my head at the start of 2 was "when your kid wishes to be completely alone for the holidays TWO YEARS IN A ROW and AFTER IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, you may want to rethink your parenting style"...just saying
I haven’t watched Home Alone in a while but sheesh, Kevin’s family is so mean. You’d think they would blame both the kids but nope, blame the 8 year old.
And they didn't even say anything when Kevin's uncle was like "Look what you did you little jerk." Like what kind of parent just sits back and let's someone talk about their kid like that?
When I watch Home Alone I wonder why the mom didn’t say that she left her young child at home She just says “I left my kid at home”, people aren’t prioritizing her problem because they probably think it’s a kid old enough to fend for themself, like a teenager
McCallister are so rich they could buy a high priced lawyer to beat the case. "Yes your honor, my wife & I assigned my brother Frank to watch my son at that time." or something
Nicque you always on point. I can't help but think about this stuff too now. It's not just this movie either. It's movies like Beethoven which I loved as a kid but now that dog looks like a walking disaster to me. I could not handle a St Bernard the way I thought I could as a kid. I felt so stressed for the parents just watching that movie. Lmao
Kind of reminds me of Marley and Me tbh. Like the entire set of movies acts like Marley is this unfixable untrainable disaster, meanwhile the couple never actually tried to train the dog. You can't just look at a dog and say "No chewing that's bad" and expect that to work. And instead of at ANY point during the set of movies, thinking that maybe this is too much for them and they should give Marley away they just don't. It's just messed up all round, and I don't buy that anyone would be able to own a dog that's that much of a troublemaker and still be that nice to them.
I always love at the end of home alone 2 when his dad is upset about Kevin spending $967 on room service Luke buddy???? You should be glad he didn't STARVE due to your NEGLIGENCE. Like you lost him TWICE!?!?!?
As an 28yo adult, all I can think about is that they really freaking LEFT THEIR 9YO (?) BEHIND, not once, but TWICE! That poor kid!! My mom heart is aching so much for him that I can barely even stand watching the movies anymore.. Yeah, he's resourceful af, and he handles it well, but still. I would've gotten some serious ptsd/abandonment issues after that. I would've bawled my eyes out like crazy. AND I would've freaking gone over to a neighbor and asked to stay with them and if they could call the airline or something..
I'm in the 9th grade and I agree with the whole child indangerment thing like what the heck the parents are lucky that they found Kevin to begin with like if this took place in modern times and not the 1990s they'd be in a whole shit ton of trouble. Like they lost Kevin twice they should be happy that he us smart for his age and didn't panic about the robbers.
I’m curious how a kid who could arrange the trapping of 2 convicts in the second movie is the same kid ‘accidentally’ getting lost. Also his familiarity and preparation of everything. Did they just leave him in a developing subdivision somewhere to cause havoc the other 51 weeks of the year? That kid wanted to be lost and the how it happens is all fairytales he made up to guilt his family.
Yesterday, I ate a whole pizza by myself for the first time. Not my proudest moment of the year but at least it make my lonely christmas night bearable. Yey !
WAIT PLEASE CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT IN THE FIRST MOVIE at the end when the cops find out, the cops literally left Kevin home alone after taking the thieves to the jail
I just watched it during Christmas and realized the human body was apparently a lot tougher back then and could withstand being electrocuted and blown up and 3 bricks to the head and falling flat on your face three or four stories down. The laws of physics also did not apply back then either.
Even into teenage years, i thought Kevin's home life wasn't too out there and then my home life got explained to me by two therapists and new friends and teachers as very much borderline
For those wondering why they don't do a head count in the first movie; they do but since the weird neighbor kid is routing around in the car the weird kid gets counted as one of the kids in the family. Thus causing them to not realize that they are missing one kid. 😂

In my early twenties I pointed out what crappy parents the McCallisters were and my friends acted like I was so precious and immature for "siding with the kid" lol sigh. I wonder what emotional damage they're finally starting to realize they endured to make the abuse in Home Alone defensible to them lol
Pls I rewatched the movies yesterday I was thinking those exact things. Like Marv and Harry shouldn’t be able to get up and start walking around after getting electrocuted and blown up
Hell, if Harry really caught that much air on that makeshift see-saw and caused that much damage to the car he landed on, I don't think he'd just be getting right up and running around. I mean I'm not a doctor but surely some damage to his back, his neck, his head?
As a kid I was just thinking about the scenes of stepping on glass and nails and how much that would hurt, how long you wouldn't be able to walk. I already knew about the brick being hella destructive, I was thinking about how they snapped their noses back into place.

Like what the heck, shouldn't they have noticed the kid was missing the first time when they went through security? Or boarding? Or virtually any stage at the airport that forces you to slow down and go one at a time? Second time a bit more understandable but the mom instead of making sure everyone went in should have a done a second headcount before going in, and the dad should be more aware of his kid. Also, both of those burglars should be dead in multiple ways because of what that Kevin puts them through! And the parents should be treating Kevin better because in both movie's conflicts it was pretty obvious which kid was in the wrong first so they should come down on Buzz twice as hard as they do on Kevin!
I’m really surprised that people thought Kevin was being a jerk in the first film like he was being ignored, insulted and his brother ate the only pizza he liked- ALL OF IT and he’s the only one to be punished?
I have 4 kids. When they were younger I was constantly counting to make sure I had all of them everywhere we went. Kevin's parents didn't count their kids not one time in the airport? How do you have more than 2 kids and not be constantly checking to make sure they're all still with you? How do you get all the way on the plane and not make sure your child is with you? These parents were terrible.
The biggest change for me as an adult that wasn't mentioned was me constantly complaining about repair/replacement costs from all the damages those traps Kevin made.
I literally just watched home alone 1&2 again just a few days ago and the first thing that went through my head at the start of 2 was "when your kid wishes to be completely alone for the holidays TWO YEARS IN A ROW and AFTER IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, you may want to rethink your parenting style"...just saying
“Lost in New York?! The streets are numbered!”
One of my favorite John Mulaney bits.
I haven’t watched Home Alone in a while but sheesh, Kevin’s family is so mean. You’d think they would blame both the kids but nope, blame the 8 year old.
Honestly I hate Kevin’s parents. No wonder Kevin said he wishes his family wasn’t there when they lose him twice and get mad at him for being a kid
And they didn't even say anything when Kevin's uncle was like "Look what you did you little jerk." Like what kind of parent just sits back and let's someone talk about their kid like that?
@@bluebird1914 Ya my mom would’ve went apeshit if my uncle said that to me
When I watch Home Alone I wonder why the mom didn’t say that she left her young child at home
She just says “I left my kid at home”, people aren’t prioritizing her problem because they probably think it’s a kid old enough to fend for themself, like a teenager
How have none of these families called the cops saying their son isn’t with them. Yeah they’re committing a crime by forgetting but hey could be worse
McCallister are so rich they could buy a high priced lawyer to beat the case.
"Yes your honor, my wife & I assigned my brother Frank to watch my son at that time."
or something
@@Kentrc11 maybe get the neighbor as a witness
they did actually call the police to check on kevin, he just was too scared to answer the door.
still terrible parents tho-
@@elenipappas282 oh yeah I forgot that happened
Nothings as fun when you're an adult 😂
But You have money too buy pizza
@@wieczniespozniony4475 bold of you to assume that 😂
But I get to complain about inaccuracies in movies, which is in and of itself!
Problem child is still funny to as an adult 🤣
My mom has 6 kids so as a kid it was my fantasy to be forgotten at home.....never happened I stayed disappointed.
Merry christmas ms lady!!
Also u not wrong, that brick shouldve sent mans to meet Tony stark☠
🤣🤣 not tony starkkk lmfaooo I agree 100% tho ur def onto something.
Nicque you always on point. I can't help but think about this stuff too now. It's not just this movie either. It's movies like Beethoven which I loved as a kid but now that dog looks like a walking disaster to me. I could not handle a St Bernard the way I thought I could as a kid. I felt so stressed for the parents just watching that movie. Lmao
Kind of reminds me of Marley and Me tbh.
Like the entire set of movies acts like Marley is this unfixable untrainable disaster, meanwhile the couple never actually tried to train the dog.
You can't just look at a dog and say "No chewing that's bad" and expect that to work. And instead of at ANY point during the set of movies, thinking that maybe this is too much for them and they should give Marley away they just don't.
It's just messed up all round, and I don't buy that anyone would be able to own a dog that's that much of a troublemaker and still be that nice to them.
The adult reactions was 1,000% me, even when I was little! 😂
I remember watching home alone like a day ago and my dad was like “so your telling me no one woke up before 8”
How was CPS never called honestly
The wet bandits have the most plot armor in the entire history of everything
THAT DRESSS THO
I always love at the end of home alone 2 when his dad is upset about Kevin spending $967 on room service Luke buddy???? You should be glad he didn't STARVE due to your NEGLIGENCE. Like you lost him TWICE!?!?!?
Facts. Like yeah that's a lot of money, but then again y'all are clearly rich and there's bigger things to worry about.
“You don’t just survive getting a brick thrown at you.”
Jason Grace: You wanna bet
I actually thought the same as you did at 29 when I was a kid
"Skull fracture with epidural haematoma. Marv is dead."
This is one of those tiktoks I wish I could forget and watch again
Honestly, I always acted like “the adult”. I could never understand why certain things were like that.
She ligit acts like my parents watching any 90s movie ever
This was my entire band class when we were watching home alone at our band Christmas party
As an 28yo adult, all I can think about is that they really freaking LEFT THEIR 9YO (?) BEHIND, not once, but TWICE!
That poor kid!! My mom heart is aching so much for him that I can barely even stand watching the movies anymore..
Yeah, he's resourceful af, and he handles it well, but still. I would've gotten some serious ptsd/abandonment issues after that.
I would've bawled my eyes out like crazy. AND I would've freaking gone over to a neighbor and asked to stay with them and if they could call the airline or something..
Not to mention Kevin only calls the cops after he's done playing with the two robbers by putting them through purgatory
Pro theory, Kevin grows up and becomes Jigsaw.
the “imma figure it out” got me for some reason 💀
I'm in the 9th grade and I agree with the whole child indangerment thing like what the heck the parents are lucky that they found Kevin to begin with like if this took place in modern times and not the 1990s they'd be in a whole shit ton of trouble. Like they lost Kevin twice they should be happy that he us smart for his age and didn't panic about the robbers.
“You don’t just survive getting a brick thrown at you”
Jason Grace in the corner:
I’m curious how a kid who could arrange the trapping of 2 convicts in the second movie is the same kid ‘accidentally’ getting lost. Also his familiarity and preparation of everything. Did they just leave him in a developing subdivision somewhere to cause havoc the other 51 weeks of the year? That kid wanted to be lost and the how it happens is all fairytales he made up to guilt his family.
Obviously he didn't want to be lost. It was clearly an accident.
Yesterday, I ate a whole pizza by myself for the first time. Not my proudest moment of the year but at least it make my lonely christmas night bearable. Yey !
Its literally so hard to get lost in new york. Its very easy to navigate for being such a huge city.
Ikr and the mom like starts pretending to actually care about him like we all know it’s a lie.
The streets are numbered he shouldn't be that hard to find
WAIT PLEASE CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT IN THE FIRST MOVIE at the end when the cops find out, the cops literally left Kevin home alone after taking the thieves to the jail
One thing I love about being an adult is looking back at these old shows I used to watch and going "Hol'up".... A LOT
I agreed with everything in the 29 part even before adulthood
Lmao he is literally JUST in midtown! 😅😅🤣
Literally everything you said (as an adult) is what Ive said to my bf about this movie 🤣
the “29 year old me” one was literally my 7th grade class watching home alone 2 after our midterms
I just watched it during Christmas and realized the human body was apparently a lot tougher back then and could withstand being electrocuted and blown up and 3 bricks to the head and falling flat on your face three or four stories down. The laws of physics also did not apply back then either.
That moment when the old man from home alone makes me cry out of relating to hin except for without the happy ending
When I was a kid I literally felt the exact same things you thought as your 20 year old self
Why am I relating to everything you post? Ptsd, veteran, abuse and just everything. You're the best thanks for posting this stuff
"it's eleven up and one over ya simple bitch" - John Mulaney
I just can’t stand how horribly his family treats him then in the end it’s like we love you Kevin but they still make him sleep in the attic
This whole video is a mood for many childhood movies for me. Was something like this when I watched hp again as an adult
Also the police in the first one that are like “you want us to send cops to check up on your 8 yr old son that’s home alone???”
Even into teenage years, i thought Kevin's home life wasn't too out there and then my home life got explained to me by two therapists and new friends and teachers as very much borderline
I find it funny wherever somebody says something about the McCallister family
Merry Christmas! Love your vids!
Me, who lives in australia but knows new York inside out because of the spiderman game:
Yes you will find him at the avengers tower
You as an adult was me when I was 10 lmao
1million percent true.
And let's not even TALK about thinking about cleaning up the MESS
I most still be a child then. Because the only thing I can think is how awesome he is.
All I can think of is John Mulaney saying: "IT'S A GRID SYSTEM, YOU SIMPLE BITCH." And I'm wheezing. 😂
For those wondering why they don't do a head count in the first movie; they do but since the weird neighbor kid is routing around in the car the weird kid gets counted as one of the kids in the family. Thus causing them to not realize that they are missing one kid. 😂
I was just thinking about Home Alone. I was thinking about setting traps because my landlord keeps coming unnanounced.
Home Alone 2: Kill or be Killed
Kevin definitely grew up to be Jigsaw.
Pizza was definitely the winner of these movies
The accuracy is unreal 😂
Merry Christmas!
"Home Alone 2: Lost in New York... Lost in New York? The streets are numbered!! Where you at? 24th and 5th? Where ya wanna go? 35th and 6th? 11 up and 1 over ya simple bish."

I love that necklace so much
In my early twenties I pointed out what crappy parents the McCallisters were and my friends acted like I was so precious and immature for "siding with the kid" lol sigh. I wonder what emotional damage they're finally starting to realize they endured to make the abuse in Home Alone defensible to them lol
Home Alone got me holding my parents hand all the time I was in a crowded street and literally took my sister's hand and I'm a teenager 😂😂
As a quote from John Mulaney, 'How the fuck do you get lost in New York, the signs are numbered!'
Pls I rewatched the movies yesterday I was thinking those exact things. Like Marv and Harry shouldn’t be able to get up and start walking around after getting electrocuted and blown up
Hell, if Harry really caught that much air on that makeshift see-saw and caused that much damage to the car he landed on, I don't think he'd just be getting right up and running around. I mean I'm not a doctor but surely some damage to his back, his neck, his head?
As a kid I was just thinking about the scenes of stepping on glass and nails and how much that would hurt, how long you wouldn't be able to walk. I already knew about the brick being hella destructive, I was thinking about how they snapped their noses back into place.
