fun fact: dreamworks used to punish animators at the studio by sending them to work on Shrek, because it was expected to be a flop. It was called being "shrecked"
It doesn't surprise me just because a lot of people are reacting to franchises like Shrek, Rush Hour, Scary Movie, Scream for the first time since Covid.
@@Myaccount923 IDK man, there's this one couple who's British I think and I believe them. Heck Spaz Bros Comedy never saw Archer untit last week and if you'd watch any of his videos you'd think he would have been reacted to that show at least 3 years ago
So much fun watching you enjoy this. It was never intended really to be a kids film. It was marketed more towards teenagers and young adults as a parody of the fairytales and other films. Obviously there's a lot of Disney references but also Matrix and Jurassic Park and so many more are also referenced. I think if you really haven't watched other Dreamworks, you would probably enjoy Kung Fu Panda too.
Ok so can we all agree that Billy has major Donkey energy? Still can’t believe you’ve never seen Shrek but can’t wait for your reaction to the second one. Also casually singing Cheetah Girls?? ICONIC
The point of Shrek was basically to mock Disney’s entire princess storyline. The cofounder of Dreamworks use to work for Disney but they have beef apparently so they’re constantly taking shots at each other.
You’re completely right! Shrek was intended as a parody! The founder of dreamworks Jeffery Katzenberg used to work at Disney and wanted to become chairman. However Michael Eisner CEO at the time didn’t feel Katzenberg was a good fit, so enraged, he left the Walt Disney company and helped create dreamworks. This was effectively his revenge against Disney by making something that poked fun in everything his former employer cherished. The mascot head at Dulock, the way the queue line is designed, the little singing figures that are similar to it’s a small world, ofc the fairy tale characters. Even Lord Farquaad is supposed to mean Lord “F**kwad” and was designed to have the face of Michael Eisner! There are many more but definitely an interesting backstory to a passion project against Disney! An amazing film too and I love both of the companies 🥰
Fun Fact: Shrek's design was actually based off of a wrestler (currently not remembering the name) the wrestler had a condition that made his hands and, I believe face, larger than the average adult hands and face. He looks very much like the animated Shrek. The scene where Shrek wrestles the knight guys is supposed to be a reference to that.
I’m sorry, YOU HAVEN’T SEEN SHREK UNTIL NOW? Where tf have you been? This is such an iconic and hilarious movie! Obviously the second one is the best out of the franchise and you can fight me but still…a damn classic!
The Eddie Murphey version of "I'm a Believer" is an underappreciated moment across ever Shrek rhetoric, my man went so hard and history does not remember, too busy talking about the fairy godmother in the second one lol
@@boyroy4u honestly all the Eddie Murphy songs for credits are fire! I used to listen to his and Antonio’s I want to thank you from Shrek three religiously.
The scene where Fiona is paused mid air is a nod to Charlie’s Angels lol. Cameron Diaz’s character (who voices Fiona) in Charlie’s Angels did the same move in that movie 🥰🥰
I'm pretty sure that was also a reference to the matrix when they did that in Charlie's Angels. But still a good callback to the fact that Cameron Diaz was in Charlie's Angels and they did the reference as well. A reference within a reference lol
Can we just agree that Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, and How To Train Your Dragon area the best DreamWorks movies to ever exist. I know there's Shark tales, Sinbad, and a bunch of others, but these are the 'S' Ranked movies
Fun fact: you see the three little bears in the cage at the beginning but then you notice only two are in the swamp with Shrek. Then you notice the momma bear was made into Lord Farquad's rug.
this is hands-down one of the most quotable movies i’ve ever seen. i can’t tell you how many hundreds of times i’ve said even just “and in the morning, i’m makin waffles” line over the past 20 years, let alone all the other stuff. we make gingerbread men with my nieces and their kids every christmas, and now even the 5 year-old is doing the “not the gumdrop buttons” bit when we decorate them 😂
I think shrek is a “timeless” movie. A laugh for ALL ages. 😉 “Although she lives with 7 other men, she’s not easy” 😳 😯 same after watching this again after 10 years.
I think Shrek is genuinely one of the more impressive franchises to come up this century, it's incredibly unique and funny and they haven't aged. Its a property that unfortunately just isn't take that seriously anymore cause of memes, more people need to realise how impressive these films are as films.
Farquaad’s “ Really, it’s rude enough being alive when no one wants you.” Always gets me 🤣🤣 My friend watched it with me in English for the first time ( she watched it in Spanish) and she was like “THATS WHAT HE SAID?!” And I was like what’s he say in Spanish? She was like. “ Not that. “ 🤣
He says “It’s disgusting enough to know you live in a swamp, but to come to a wedding without being invited?” Although there are better lines in English, I’ll stay with the Latin-American Spanish version overall. A lot of jokes are local references and they’re just amazing. They were given all the freedom they could get to dub these movies, unlike any other. Besides, there was a lot of improv by the guy who voices Donkey (a comedian who takes Eddie’s roles such as Mushu) and he just killed it. Edit: Typo
Fun fact about the movie. Mike Myers ( the voice of Shrek) had finished doing all his lines( and the movie was in finishing productions )then decided he wanted to have Shrek have a Scottish accent so he cost DreamWorks millons to re do all his lines 🤣🤣 but let's all be honest the movie wouldn't be the same without his accent I can't believe you have never watched this!! It was a favorite growing up! If you want to do more DreamWorks movies the how to train your dragon series is great and megamind is so funny! #bingers
He also was the second choice, Chris Farley was the original voice of Shrek and passed away having recorded 85% of his lines. Mike was cast then had them redo it all.
You definitely need to finish the series. It’s great. The second is commonly referred to as the best of the series. Me, personally, My favorite is the last movie. Shriek Forever After. It ties the whole story very nicely and it brings Shrek’s character arc full circle. Love it.
As a parent, I LOVE and sincerely appreciate the 4th film out of all of them. I could relate to shrek and that feeling of…just slowing dimming out with the monotony of married and parent life. It’s easy to lose sight of the awesome aspects of life if you just go through the motions of responsibilities….and also the story of Fiona having to save herself since shrek never did (in that universe) but then shrek realizing she saved HIM when he always thought he was the one who saved HER….The 4th shrek is THE BEST for me! 🥹
DreamWorks and Disney always throw shade at each other but Shrek is probably the best diss to date. Nothing Disney has copied or mocked has come close to Shrek 1 and 2
If you're going to binge other DreamWorks movies after this one, make sure you don't overlook The Prince of Egypt! One of the most beautiful 2D animated films ever.
Can't stress enough how much Shrek 2 was DreamWorks really proving that they could do a sequel better than Disney. I will always argue that Shrek 2 wasn't just as good as the original, it was better 💯
I'm surprised Dreamworks is still so closely associated with Nickelodeon. They worked together on a few shows for Nickelodeon, but otherwise they're completely separate from each other, Nickelodeon just likes airing reruns of their movies
My dad took me to see this at the cinema and I will never forget how much he laughed! He and I adore this film and the adult humour is so perfect. Dad passed away in 2020 so watching this reaction made me laugh and brought back such good memories! The soundtrack is fire too! I actually owned the CD 😂😂
🥺 such a wholesome memory to have of your father; this is a great film and it’s great that you shared this with him. My sincerest condolences for your loss
I used to watch this movie with my dad too! He also passed in 2020. This is the first time I’ve watched any part of it since. It was nice to laugh at it again. 😊
He said “OBI ONE KAAAANBOOOII” while Smash Mouth was going on 😂 And the fact he kept calling Dreamworks Nickelodeon. BUT since he did Shrek, I am BEYOND HYPED for Shrek 2 cause honestly that’s the best one in the whole franchise. I can’t wait
I brought my child to this movie when it came out and my husband and I almost fell on the floor laughing at all the adult jokes. I bought the soundtrack right afterward.
My best friend and I saw this in the theaters, and it was one of the few movies that I couldn’t finish my popcorn or soda, because I was laughing so hard I was legit scared of choking/drowning.
Fun Fact! The person who was responsible for most of this movies was fired (or left on bad terms, can’t remember) and modeled Lord Farqwod after one of the higher ups at the time. Extra points if you get why he was named that.
I loved Shrek when I was in high school. When it came out I thought it was just another fairytale movie but it blew me away. It is hilarious and is still one of the best animated movies.
Definitely finish the Shrek movies. The reason you recognized so much is because Shrek is a Fractured Fairytale: "Fractured fairy tales are rewritten fairy tales that take the classic fairy tale stories and turn them on their heads! They are modifications of the original stories, swapping out particular components like characters or settings for new elements that are totally different, and sometimes totally bizarre."
According to Word of God, the use of the Smash Mouth song "All Star" at the beginning of the first movie was only intended as test footage track to get the timing of the opening down - they planned to use an original composition for the final product. However, "All Star" worked so well that they not only kept it in, but even hired Smash Mouth to record a new song for the ending (a cover of The Monkees' "I'm A Believer").
Originally Chris Farley was going to be Shrek’s voice actor, and he had recorded about 80% of his lines before he sadly passed away. You can still find deleted scenes where Farley was doing to voice work here on TH-cam
Dreamworks list: The Prince of Egypt, Kung Fu Panda, Megamind, The Road to El Dorado, Sinbad, How to Train Your Dragon. I feel like Billy would like Flushed Away and Sharktale as well. #bingers
If you’re going to do more Dreamworks movies and taking suggestions I really recommend: -The Prince of Egypt -Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron -The Road to El Dorado -The How to Train Your Dragon trilogy -The Kung Fu Panda trilogy
Writer Revolt: Well, *producer* revolt. Former Disney CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg made this film as a great big "Screw you!" to his previous company and especially his former partner Michael Eisner, whom he loathed, after Eisner shot down many of Katzenberg's idea and later beat him out of the studio head position. It worked, seeing as how this film put DreamWorks on the map and ended up indirectly contributing to Eisner being let go by Disney.
OMG I died at your singing to "All Star," I remember singing this on the school bus as a kid! And yes, Shrek has a load of adult-oriented jokes and every one of them went over my head until I grew up. This movie is revolutionary for many other reasons: the CGI, the soundtrack, the subverting of traditional fairytales. It really laid the groundwork for Dreamworks as a studio and inspired some similar ideas in live-action/mixed live and animated film too (Guardians of the Galaxy uses popular music in similar ways, from what I hear). Shrek made such an impact that I teach it in my classes!
Also, I actually enjoy hearing the sponsorships for the video instead of skipping them and hear me out, they are all to make life a little easier! Thank you Billy for having sponsors that make things a little better!
If you’re going to do Dreamworks, after you do all the Shrek films, do the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy, which is arguably one of the greatest film trilogies of all time. All 3 films alone give Disney and Pixar a run for their money
i went to film school for one and a half years so i have full authority to say shrek 2 is the greatest film of all time. citizen kane could only DREAM of being as good as shrek 2.
everytime the credits roll on a movie i just watched that isn’t shrek 2, i start sobbing uncontrollably because i just realized i wasted 2 hours of my life NOT watching shrek 2
The only thing I hated about this movie was that they tried to portray the ogre version of Fiona as “ugly” which really just meant making her heavier and green. Like for aesthetics sake I get it, but she’s beautiful regardless?? Like what
I can't believe there's anyone who has been able to go so many years without watching Shrek more than once. It's hilarious! Also, you have to watch to watch Shrek 2. It is one of the only series that has a sequel that is better than the original. #bingers
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make a fairy tale movie while poking fun at all the fairy tale tropes. This movie is pure genius and I LOVE it. :D Also, I agree with Billy, the soundtrack is excellent. As for the rest of the series, I haven't seen the fourth one, but 2 and 3 are definitely worth a watch. :)
Hands down, Billy's shirt game is off the hook! Also, love how Billy still calls Maleficent "malnificent" But Billy, you should totally react to Malificent, but you have to do both!! The first one and the second "Mistress of Evil" #bingers
I love the bit where Shrek and Donkey are making fun of Lord Farquaad. Shrek: Let me put it to ya this way, Princess. Men of Farquaad's stature are in SHORT supply. Donkey chuckles- I don't know, Shrek. There ARE those who think LITTLE of him.
It absolutely blows my mind that you'd never watched Shrek before, but your laugh and grooving to the soundtrack gives me life. Please do watch the rest of the Shrek movies.
27:56 oh wow I never noticed this. He really put FULL passion into that disgust. I always loved Faarquad but it's crazy how this went over my head; what a perfect delivery
Approval of God: Despite its many liberties from William Steig's original book, he loved the movie. Reportedly, his reaction was something along the lines of, "It's vulgar, it's disgusting - and I love it!"
Two other movies with a soundtrack that went absolutely hard are Tarzan and Spirit Stallion Of The Cimarron. Shoutout to Phil Collins and Bryan Adams, they’re absolutely amazing. Also #bingers
@@miyakabongo933 yesss, me tooo. I know all the words. It’s my all time favorite movie. It’s sad that it’s so underrated, no one knows about it. Except for the dumb reboot it got. It really does upset me, it will never compare to the original.
I think Shrek is supposed to be a parody of all fairytale especially since a prince usually saves a damsel in distress but in this a princess who is not helpless is saved by an ogree who is the exact opposite of a prince charming lol and even though it's a parody I feel like the Shrek franchise is so unique and it's definitely one of my favorite franchises.
The bedroom scene with Farquad watching Fiona’s image on the mirror has the two biggest jaw dropping moments for me! 1. Farquad getting pretty excited….. and 2. What happened to Mama bear.
This is the closest I've made it to premier! So glad it's for Shrek!! Definitely consider watching Shrek 2, many people think the second one is the best! Also, #Bingers my vote for another Dreamworks movie to try is Spirit! It's a "wild west" movie from the perspective of a horse, I think you might like it!
I was 6 years old when I first saw this movie and it's hilarious picking out all of the adult jokes that went over my head back then. Also, looking forward to the Shrek 2 reaction.
Billy my guy if you want another movie with a KILLER soundtrack, you should try Disney’s Oliver and Company - Billy Joel killed the voice acting and vocals! 🎹 #bingers #binges
Can't believe this is your first time fully watching Shrek, it's SUCH a 'you' movie LOL. This one and the second one were always major classic to me - I never got around to the third one tho but I heard it was also cool? Atlantis and Drop Dead Gorgeous for #Bingers
Drop Dead Gorgeous would be great! More like that for #Bingers that I'd love to add on to his watch list would be: Sugar & Spice, The Hot Chick, and Jawbreaker
If you enjoyed Eddie's vocals at the end, I suggest you watch Dreamgirls. It's nothing like Shrek but amazing nonetheless. He has a song with Anika Noni Rose (Princess Tiana) that's one of my favorites in the movie.
I don't normally comment on your shirts, but Tommy from Rugrats as Tommy from Power Rangers and Chuckie from Rugrats as the serial killer doll Chuckie, are such fun shirts. So many Nickelodeon related shirts, you must have watched a lot of Nick growing up.
Fun fact: Shrek was made because the creator used to work for Disney and had a falling out and was bitter so he made DreamWorks and it was a big mockery of the fairytale genre that ended up very successful.
Actually Billy, you're supposed to wait about 15-20mins after brushing your teeth to drink water or eat. Cause it cuts off the efficiency of the fluoride in the toothpaste
Great reaction. The soundtrack is very good. ‘I’m On My Way’ is by the Scottish band The Proclaimers. I love their song “Sunshine on Leith”. I hope that you will react to the Stephen King movie ‘Misery’.
I want a Hoodwinked commentary even though I recently discovered the first one is nowhere online to steam & had to order the DVD to watch with my kids 😂
Ugh a childhood gem! The shrek series is hilarious with alot of heart. My brother and I use to replay the ending and the “welcome to Dulac “ to sing along. Especially in shrek 2 since they had a whole talent show in the end credits. Loved the reaction billy!!!
I realized while watching this that when I was a kid when it came to the scene where he opened the keg and says, "can't we settle this over a pint?" I never realized it was beer. I thought it was root beer and it took me rewatching it now to realize it was not root beer 😂
The Challenge Butter Gingerbread recipe is one of the first things I learned to bake in college (because it was really easy and i could give it to people as Christmas presents). They are super yummy. I've tried a few Gingerbread cookies from the store and they weren't very good.
the spanish dub of the muffin man is even more hilarious, and i recently learned that there was an actual person named the muffin man who lived on drury lane in england and he was a child killer
Something you need to understand about Dreamworks is it can be more mature than Pixar while also have immature movies in the mix. You know Steven Spielburg co founded Dreamworks with Jeffery Katzenburg an old Disney animation exec with a chip on his shoulder about Disney. Most of Dreamwork's catalogue are NOT kids films, they are watchable for children but their not FOR children. There are some Dreamworks films that are more geared for children but they are more obviously so.
I love how hyped billy was for the songs…even though he didn’t know the lyrics 😂 you downloading the soundtrack after this? will always enjoy Billy’s commentaries 🥰❤️❤️
Great reaction video! To be included in the Shrek series is Shrek musical on Netflix. My kiddos watched that show since they were babies. It is such a great rendition and also equally great songs just like the movie!
I used to work at the Shrek 4D attraction at Universal Orlando. I had to listen to All Star like every twenty minutes. Billy not knowing the words was cracking me up and causing flashbacks! The trauma! The trauma! 😂
omg you poor thing. 2000 something I had to listen to "the first cut is the deepest" by Sheryl Crow every 20 minutes and I can still barely listen to it haha.
This is me but with Hallelujah since every year from middle school to high school, a girl and boy (on guitars) would sing this song for talent show, which would cause other people to have the sing stuck in their heads and sing it almost every day in school. I can never hear any rendition and original of the song without twisting my expression 😅
I'm surprised you hadn't watched Shrek sooner but it was fun to see your reaction like always lol. Also, if you're gonna watch more dreamworks films then you gotta watch El Dorado and The Prince of Egypt! They're some of my favourite films of all time #Bingers
You are the most hilarious TH-cam reactor in my feed right now! Every time you post a video I get so excited! You literally say everything I’m thinking and watching a movie ❤️❤️❤️
It's a shame you've spent all of these years missing out on Shrek. The humour in this is 100% your style and made for you. I could imagine you as a little children's cackling at the dirty jokes.
Just so yall know when they drop shrek 5 IM ON IT!!!

My dad took me to see this at the cinema and I will never forget how much he laughed! He and I adore this film and the adult humour is so perfect.
Dad passed away in 2020 so watching this reaction made me laugh and brought back such good memories!
The soundtrack is fire too! I actually owned the CD 😂😂
🥺 such a wholesome memory to have of your father; this is a great film and it’s great that you shared this with him. My sincerest condolences for your loss
I used to watch this movie with my dad too! He also passed in 2020. This is the first time I’ve watched any part of it since. It was nice to laugh at it again. 😊
He said “OBI ONE KAAAANBOOOII” while Smash Mouth was going on 😂
And the fact he kept calling Dreamworks Nickelodeon.
BUT since he did Shrek, I am BEYOND HYPED for Shrek 2 cause honestly that’s the best one in the whole franchise.
I can’t wait
I brought my child to this movie when it came out and my husband and I almost fell on the floor laughing at all the adult jokes. I bought the soundtrack right afterward.
My mom and dad took me as a kid and I have the fondest memory of them cackling in the theater. Watching as an adult I completely understand 😂
My best friend and I saw this in the theaters, and it was one of the few movies that I couldn’t finish my popcorn or soda, because I was laughing so hard I was legit scared of choking/drowning.
Fun Fact! The person who was responsible for most of this movies was fired (or left on bad terms, can’t remember) and modeled Lord Farqwod after one of the higher ups at the time. Extra points if you get why he was named that.
You mean Jeffery Katzenberg and that Eisner guy?
I loved Shrek when I was in high school. When it came out I thought it was just another fairytale movie but it blew me away. It is hilarious and is still one of the best animated movies.
Definitely finish the Shrek movies. The reason you recognized so much is because Shrek is a Fractured Fairytale: "Fractured fairy tales are rewritten fairy tales that take the classic fairy tale stories and turn them on their heads! They are modifications of the original stories, swapping out particular components like characters or settings for new elements that are totally different, and sometimes totally bizarre."
According to Word of God, the use of the Smash Mouth song "All Star" at the beginning of the first movie was only intended as test footage track to get the timing of the opening down - they planned to use an original composition for the final product. However, "All Star" worked so well that they not only kept it in, but even hired Smash Mouth to record a new song for the ending (a cover of The Monkees' "I'm A Believer").
The best decision DreamWorks has ever made.
Originally Chris Farley was going to be Shrek’s voice actor, and he had recorded about 80% of his lines before he sadly passed away. You can still find deleted scenes where Farley was doing to voice work here on TH-cam
Billy on Shrek: “He’s just so misunderstood”
Billy on Fiona: “Kill her now”
This man doesn’t choose violence. It’s a way of being 🤣🤣
Dreamworks list: The Prince of Egypt, Kung Fu Panda, Megamind, The Road to El Dorado, Sinbad, How to Train Your Dragon. I feel like Billy would like Flushed Away and Sharktale as well. #bingers
If you’re going to do more Dreamworks movies and taking suggestions I really recommend:
-The Prince of Egypt
-Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
-The Road to El Dorado
-The How to Train Your Dragon trilogy
-The Kung Fu Panda trilogy
absolutely. this is a list of golden movies and some of my personal favorites! so glad you mentioned these :)
GOATED MOVIES!
Over the Hedge
Writer Revolt: Well, *producer* revolt. Former Disney CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg made this film as a great big "Screw you!" to his previous company and especially his former partner Michael Eisner, whom he loathed, after Eisner shot down many of Katzenberg's idea and later beat him out of the studio head position. It worked, seeing as how this film put DreamWorks on the map and ended up indirectly contributing to Eisner being let go by Disney.
I remember hearing that the look of Lord Farquaad was modeled off of Eisner, too
OMG I died at your singing to "All Star," I remember singing this on the school bus as a kid! And yes, Shrek has a load of adult-oriented jokes and every one of them went over my head until I grew up. This movie is revolutionary for many other reasons: the CGI, the soundtrack, the subverting of traditional fairytales. It really laid the groundwork for Dreamworks as a studio and inspired some similar ideas in live-action/mixed live and animated film too (Guardians of the Galaxy uses popular music in similar ways, from what I hear). Shrek made such an impact that I teach it in my classes!
Also, I actually enjoy hearing the sponsorships for the video instead of skipping them and hear me out, they are all to make life a little easier!
Thank you Billy for having sponsors that make things a little better!
You’ll for sure love Shrek 2. It’s one of those sequels that’s better than the first movie imo.
If you’re going to do Dreamworks, after you do all the Shrek films, do the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy, which is arguably one of the greatest film trilogies of all time. All 3 films alone give Disney and Pixar a run for their money
And Prince of Egypt! It’s one of their best for sure
Don't forget the hashtag! #bingers
i went to film school for one and a half years so i have full authority to say shrek 2 is the greatest film of all time. citizen kane could only DREAM of being as good as shrek 2.
if i could watch one movie for the rest of my life it would be shrek 2
everytime i’m watching any other movie i’m thinking the whole time “i wish this was shrek 2”
everytime the credits roll on a movie i just watched that isn’t shrek 2, i start sobbing uncontrollably because i just realized i wasted 2 hours of my life NOT watching shrek 2
what is your fave quote
Watching Billy laugh at the gingerbread man say “muffin man” cured my seasonal depression
Shrek was literally top tier as far as cartoons go like 😭 those jokes are wild. But the 2nd one is even better! I can't wait until you watch that one.
The only thing I hated about this movie was that they tried to portray the ogre version of Fiona as “ugly” which really just meant making her heavier and green. Like for aesthetics sake I get it, but she’s beautiful regardless?? Like what
I can't believe there's anyone who has been able to go so many years without watching Shrek more than once. It's hilarious! Also, you have to watch to watch Shrek 2. It is one of the only series that has a sequel that is better than the original. #bingers
Billy is one of the few reactors I actually don't get angry with. Love these reactions
Thank you Paccino ❤️
and the award goes to Billy for spelling decapitated correctly 😂
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make a fairy tale movie while poking fun at all the fairy tale tropes. This movie is pure genius and I LOVE it. :D
Also, I agree with Billy, the soundtrack is excellent.
As for the rest of the series, I haven't seen the fourth one, but 2 and 3 are definitely worth a watch. :)
Please tell me that by now you’ve seen the fourth!!! It’s such an amazing story & I love the “villain”!
Hands down, Billy's shirt game is off the hook!
Also, love how Billy still calls Maleficent "malnificent"
But Billy, you should totally react to Malificent, but you have to do both!! The first one and the second "Mistress of Evil" #bingers
The irony of Eddie Murphy saying ‘celebrity marriages, they never last…’.
Hilarious really!
Just saying, that Tommy shirt is awesome!
Agreed! I couldn’t stop staring at it!
I love the bit where Shrek and Donkey are making fun of Lord Farquaad.
Shrek: Let me put it to ya this way, Princess. Men of Farquaad's stature are in SHORT supply.
Donkey chuckles- I don't know, Shrek. There ARE those who think LITTLE of him.
They really did BELITTLE home didn’t they?
@@calebray1834 Well, there's no way he could feel like any LESS of a man
0:22 I’ve never seen the Queen but im sure she looks just like my auntie😂
It absolutely blows my mind that you'd never watched Shrek before, but your laugh and grooving to the soundtrack gives me life. Please do watch the rest of the Shrek movies.
27:56 oh wow I never noticed this. He really put FULL passion into that disgust. I always loved Faarquad but it's crazy how this went over my head; what a perfect delivery
Approval of God: Despite its many liberties from William Steig's original book, he loved the movie. Reportedly, his reaction was something along the lines of, "It's vulgar, it's disgusting - and I love it!"
Two other movies with a soundtrack that went absolutely hard are Tarzan and Spirit Stallion Of The Cimarron. Shoutout to Phil Collins and Bryan Adams, they’re absolutely amazing. Also #bingers
OMG I LOVE Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron
I would literally sing my heart out during every song. Best movie soundtrack ever 😩❤️
@@miyakabongo933 yesss, me tooo. I know all the words. It’s my all time favorite movie. It’s sad that it’s so underrated, no one knows about it. Except for the dumb reboot it got. It really does upset me, it will never compare to the original.
I think Shrek is supposed to be a parody of all fairytale especially since a prince usually saves a damsel in distress but in this a princess who is not helpless is saved by an ogree who is the exact opposite of a prince charming lol and even though it's a parody I feel like the Shrek franchise is so unique and it's definitely one of my favorite franchises.
I can't believe someone hasn't see Shrek, is just unreal to me. Shrek is a masterpiece and I can't wait for you to watch the other ones
The bedroom scene with Farquad watching Fiona’s image on the mirror has the two biggest jaw dropping moments for me! 1. Farquad getting pretty excited….. and 2. What happened to Mama bear.
I remember as a kid noticing the Mama bear rug quick. I only just recently became aware of how Farquad perks up at seeing Fiona
I wanted to see him react to it 😂
This is the closest I've made it to premier! So glad it's for Shrek!! Definitely consider watching Shrek 2, many people think the second one is the best!
Also, #Bingers my vote for another Dreamworks movie to try is Spirit! It's a "wild west" movie from the perspective of a horse, I think you might like it!
Omg yess Spirit was and still is one of my favourite movies ever! Billy won't get disappointed with the soundtrack either
The full movie name is ‘Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron’ I believe
If your going to do more Dreamwork's movies you should do Prince of Egypt
Great movie 👍🏻
I was 6 years old when I first saw this movie and it's hilarious picking out all of the adult jokes that went over my head back then.
Also, looking forward to the Shrek 2 reaction.
Billy my guy if you want another movie with a KILLER soundtrack, you should try Disney’s Oliver and Company - Billy Joel killed the voice acting and vocals! 🎹 #bingers #binges
Can't believe this is your first time fully watching Shrek, it's SUCH a 'you' movie LOL. This one and the second one were always major classic to me - I never got around to the third one tho but I heard it was also cool?
Atlantis and Drop Dead Gorgeous for #Bingers
Drop Dead Gorgeous would be great!
More like that for #Bingers that I'd love to add on to his watch list would be: Sugar & Spice, The Hot Chick, and Jawbreaker
Dreamwork’s is best known for its adult humor. Entertaining for the kids and great hidden jokes for the adults.
The Kung Fu Panda or How to Train Your Dragon movies don't have any adult humor.
If you enjoyed Eddie's vocals at the end, I suggest you watch Dreamgirls. It's nothing like Shrek but amazing nonetheless.
He has a song with Anika Noni Rose (Princess Tiana) that's one of my favorites in the movie.
Patience!! I loove that song! It’s so underrated 🥰
I genuinely love how Billy looks out for our health and hydration to cover up the fact that he does not know the words to any of the songs.
I don't normally comment on your shirts, but Tommy from Rugrats as Tommy from Power Rangers and Chuckie from Rugrats as the serial killer doll Chuckie, are such fun shirts. So many Nickelodeon related shirts, you must have watched a lot of Nick growing up.
Fun fact: Shrek was made because the creator used to work for Disney and had a falling out and was bitter so he made DreamWorks and it was a big mockery of the fairytale genre that ended up very successful.
I already know this is gonna be a riot 🤣 love you Billy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Especially when he gets to the dragon
Actually Billy, you're supposed to wait about 15-20mins after brushing your teeth to drink water or eat. Cause it cuts off the efficiency of the fluoride in the toothpaste
Great reaction. The soundtrack is very good. ‘I’m On My Way’ is by the Scottish band The Proclaimers. I love their song “Sunshine on Leith”. I hope that you will react to the Stephen King movie ‘Misery’.
Shrek has many adult jokes that make this so funny
I want a Hoodwinked commentary even though I recently discovered the first one is nowhere online to steam & had to order the DVD to watch with my kids 😂
Yeah Hoodwinked is a rare find.
Ugh a childhood gem! The shrek series is hilarious with alot of heart.
My brother and I use to replay the ending and the “welcome to Dulac “ to sing along. Especially in shrek 2 since they had a whole talent show in the end credits. Loved the reaction billy!!!
If they ever remake Shrek I want Billy to voice Donkey 😂
I realized while watching this that when I was a kid when it came to the scene where he opened the keg and says, "can't we settle this over a pint?" I never realized it was beer. I thought it was root beer and it took me rewatching it now to realize it was not root beer 😂
The Challenge Butter Gingerbread recipe is one of the first things I learned to bake in college (because it was really easy and i could give it to people as Christmas presents). They are super yummy. I've tried a few Gingerbread cookies from the store and they weren't very good.
I can remember taking my little brother to see this in theaters and being happily stunned by the adult humor sprinkled throughout.
"Shine your shoes wipe your... face." 😂🤣😂
Shrek and Shrek 2's soundtrack are absolutely amazing. Glad you picked up on it!
the spanish dub of the muffin man is even more hilarious, and i recently learned that there was an actual person named the muffin man who lived on drury lane in england and he was a child killer
Something you need to understand about Dreamworks is it can be more mature than Pixar while also have immature movies in the mix. You know Steven Spielburg co founded Dreamworks with Jeffery Katzenburg an old Disney animation exec with a chip on his shoulder about Disney. Most of Dreamwork's catalogue are NOT kids films, they are watchable for children but their not FOR children. There are some Dreamworks films that are more geared for children but they are more obviously so.
I love how hyped billy was for the songs…even though he didn’t know the lyrics 😂 you downloading the soundtrack after this? will always enjoy Billy’s commentaries 🥰❤️❤️
Another character to add to the list of, "Characters who gave into how the world saw them", right alongside Megamind and Nick from Zootopia.
Your laugh is so contagious! Makes me crack up every time. Thx for the reaction
Great reaction video! To be included in the Shrek series is Shrek musical on Netflix. My kiddos watched that show since they were babies. It is such a great rendition and also equally great songs just like the movie!
I like Shrek the musical too. It has great songs. BTW it is one Netflix if u want to watch it Billy
Shrek 2! It’s been said that it’s considered to be a role model of what a great sequel should aspire to be lol 😂
I used to work at the Shrek 4D attraction at Universal Orlando. I had to listen to All Star like every twenty minutes. Billy not knowing the words was cracking me up and causing flashbacks! The trauma! The trauma! 😂
omg you poor thing. 2000 something I had to listen to "the first cut is the deepest" by Sheryl Crow every 20 minutes and I can still barely listen to it haha.
This is me but with Hallelujah since every year from middle school to high school, a girl and boy (on guitars) would sing this song for talent show, which would cause other people to have the sing stuck in their heads and sing it almost every day in school.
I can never hear any rendition and original of the song without twisting my expression 😅
Shrek is one of my all time favorites 😂
IT IS TRULY A CLASSIC 😭✨
so excited for you to watch shrek 2, it's one of those rare occasions where the sequel is somehow even better than the first movie
Yes!! You should definitely watch the rest of the trilogy😊 Loved watching you react💕 you ALWAYS have me cracking up😂😂
I'm surprised you hadn't watched Shrek sooner but it was fun to see your reaction like always lol. Also, if you're gonna watch more dreamworks films then you gotta watch El Dorado and The Prince of Egypt! They're some of my favourite films of all time #Bingers
You are the most hilarious TH-cam reactor in my feed right now! Every time you post a video I get so excited! You literally say everything I’m thinking and watching a movie ❤️❤️❤️
They honestly don’t make them like this anymore. Classic.
Lmao. Look at Billy winning at the spelling bee! And technically this was an adults cartoon 😂😂
It's a shame you've spent all of these years missing out on Shrek. The humour in this is 100% your style and made for you. I could imagine you as a little children's cackling at the dirty jokes.
