did I miss something? why is this guy who doesn't know how to hold a hammer doing random handyman work for the Amish who are like....kinda famously good at using tools?
I'll be honest with you, the first frame we saw of him, for a millisecond, I thought he looked like Alex Hirsch. Even feared they roped the legend himself into this awful movie.
My extended family is Amish, and the most unrealistic part of this movie is that there is any Amish food worthy of writing a cookbook about. Aside from some pretty bomb desserts, that shit is like 90% unseasoned meat and carbohydrates
There is a TH-camr I’ve watched a few times who was raised Mennonite and her husband Amish. She has made some Amish/Mennonite recipes and they always look like hot nasty garbage. Always the strangest concoctions with sugar where sugar shouldn’t be!
Do you still go visit your Amish family like normal even though they’re Amish and you’re not? Sorry I live in New Zealand and we don’t have Amish people so I find the whole concept interesting and don’t really understand how they interact with modern American society.
I’m from Ohio, grew up near Amish country, and now live out West with no Amish communities, and this whole time I was fantasizing about the bread I used to get from an Amish market. It was like a special weekend growing up when we’d get to get Amish groceries lol, we’d make awesome sandwiches, their cheese was way better than Walmart and oh god I miss the bread. But I personally like carbohydrates
Why don't the married men have long beards? Amish men stop shaving after they get married, and the filmmakers could have found that out in like...thirty seconds of research.
@-psilo-9071 It's like that awful B movie about necromancers where NOBODY involved with the production knew or bothered to look up how to pronounce "necromancer" so they say "neckRA-mincer" the entire fucking movie. Are people allergic to doing research before dumping money into film equipment? Like, good lord dude.
i really thought the final images would at least be done in color (like, painted or pastels or SOMETHING) but when they were still black and white i was like oh. okay. lmfao
I know it's trendy to call everything in a lazy production AI now but, man. I have a decent eye for AI images and that pie + mystery utensil image on the left at 23:53 is raising the alarm bells.
OH MY GOD MY MOM WAS JUST WATCHING THAT MOVIE TWO DAYS AGO. With this and Zombie House Flipping I have to come to the conclusion that you are actually my mom.
3:42 Yes, they grieve you as if you're dead. Like you're genuinely dead to them if you leave. But, NOT always. You aren't shunned if you aren't baptized and haven't made any promises to the church. So, if you leave during Rumspringa you aren't shunned. However, every family is different and I'm not an expert I just like to research religions.
3:53 okay okay but this guy (the actor, not the character) is the ONLY reason I give a shit about this movie. This guy's name is Sean, and I grew up with him, we went to the same elementary school and stayed close through middle and high school, and he ended up taking me to my prom, which was one of the best nights of my life. He is genuinely such a great person, hewould very frequently use his position as a popular guy to stop other kids from bullying me and some weeks he would be the only person to come ask to play with me at recess, and would come to see shows I was in just because I had invited him, and in the 13+ years since we both graduated high school and mostly lost contact with each other, I have never heard a single person say a single negative thing about him as a person. As for his acting, he really is SUCH a better actor than this script (I've seen him act and have performed opposite him, I know what I'mtalking about). He's genuinely really talented but so far in his career, this movie is the first thing anyone has seen, and is therefore kind of his "big break", which sucks for him because such a good guy deserves better than having this movie on his resume. But really, he is straight up a disney prince of a person in real life in the best possible way, and I want to give him his flowers.
4:07 specifically evident here, because he DOES have autistic boy swag in real life (i have no idea if he actually is or isn't on the spectrum, but he definitely has Rami Malek's type of autistic boy swag going on in person)
the fact that no one like,,, wrote down the recipes again is baffling to me LMAO. like she remembers them all, and clearly having physical copies is important to her. she just had to wait for someone to come publish a book about it 😭
as someone who lived near an amish community, the "gatekeeper" love interest is a wild plot device. amish people don't shut the world out, you can go in and out of the community, there's even special road signs to alert drivers about their carriages. I feel like the writers definitely did mad libs, but under the theme of an amish movie (that they couldn't do any research on)
They do usually have a special individual thats a 20 to 30bl year old man they trust with a phone and car in case of emergency or to get to special events or stores if carriage isn't an option. I wonder if they just changed the character to fit the story and hoped no one would actually know anything.
Also, my cousin up in the Appalachians is basically an uber for the amish. Some of them will pay people to drive them, they just prefer if you don't have anything like the radio or the ac running
My Amish father once said, “Son, never trust a man who doesn’t like cheese,” and I thought, Fair enough, that’s solid advice. Then he handed me a jar of mayonnaise and told me it was "cheese-flavored" for an experiment. We were gonna make a "Mayonnaise Moonshine" and sell it at the farmers' market. I asked, “How do we even-?” but before I could finish, he shoved a straw into my mouth and said, “Don’t think, just sip.” I’m pretty sure I died for a second, but when I came to, he was riding a horse backwards while wearing a helmet made of bread. “It's a metaphor,” he yelled, "Life’s better with more butter.” I didn’t argue. I just sat there, wondering if I could sell my soul for a bottle of regular mayo.
@ they had some Amish book (don’t remember if it was romance) in the class library and I read it like 20 times so my teacher started lending me other ones that she had at home. They were all like those pg hallmark type romances. I actually read through all her personal books and she started borrowing them from her mom to lend to me lmao.
@AubreyBurford okay but that's kinda cool haha, being encouraged to read at a young age is nice. Doesn't really matter what the material is as long as it isn't graphic in any way (I read some pretty horrifying thrillers at like 12, maybe I was a little psycho at that age idk) but props to your teacher! Peddling you stuff hehe

Youre not necessarily shunned if you leave an amish community, it depends on the community. What I’ve gathered from talking to ex amish, most do shun you for leaving
Hey hey! I'm from the Midwest and most of my extended family are amish. Your question about whether someone gets shunned from the church is all dependent on if the family is old order or new order amish as well as if they joined the church (got baptized) before they left the amish. My parents were born and raised amish, but never joined the church and then they married english. They were never shunned from the community and all of their siblings were supportive (ish). Though the amish community in Northern Indiana is a little more lax than those in Ohio or Missouri. Hope this answers your question! :)
doesn’t remind me about amish friendship bread 😭 when i was like 12, my mom and her friends started passing the starter around and it got so out of hand it was like all my friends and i ate for at least a solid 6 months we were SO sick of it by the time it finally ran out lmao
It is, though "Amish" themed romance stories (mostly books) have a large market, mostly in the conservative Christian community and not the Amish community itself. I guess they want a love story without steamy/sex scenes, and they romanticize the "old school values" of the culture without firsthand knowledge/involvement.
Why would a cookbook need illustrations? Regardless of if it's amish, most of the potential audience for a cookbook will want to see photos of the recipe results.
No, Amish cookbooks use illustrations rather than photographs. I thought illustrations was the norm but judging by other comments in here I guess not..
Depends on the book, however genuine Amish cookbooks are far more likely than other modern cookbooks to be illustrated due to religious restrictions on technology. It gives the reader an idea of what it should look like without having to use technology like cameras and just makes the pages look nicer.

Short answer: conservative evangelicals Slightly longer answer:The Amish romance novel is a staple and mainly appeals to more conservative Evangelical Christians in the United States that reconciles the escapist romance subject with focusing on faith rather than the genre's erotic aspects alongside valorizing tradition. (For more info, the TH-cam channel ReligionForBreakfast has a great introduction to the Amish that covers this.)
I would like to say that your link sound was immediately recognizable as a link sound, and I think that's the highest compliment such a sound can receive.
I've heard that they give the young adults a choice and if you leave at that point before committing to the lifestyle and community you don't get shunned, but if you leave after committing and getting baptized you do get shunned. I'm not an expert though, so I could be wrong.
Religious cults are always bad. The Amish community is a religious cult. (I grew up right next to Pinecrest.) They do make damn good pie, though. Shout-out to Yoder's!
7:32 Hate to say it but she just described my dad. My dad loved working, we would go on hikes nearly everyday, and he always made sure that we would put our phones down while we ate (especially at restaurants). Too bad my dad is a pile of ashes, she would’ve loved him.
A movie about a village of people cut off from society trying to convince the new woman to join them have their next generation of children? I thought Midsommar was already a movie
I think it’s the lack of artistry. Like everything looks really plain? Generic set, generic costumes, generic props, lackluster script, actors are whoever local people they could hire from a theater troupe. Each frame of the movie just looks unspecial
I’m Amish and I hide this phone in my barn and I sneak out at night to use it and sometimes during the day when I’m alone. I have to go to the local library to charge it and “pick up new books”
@@xLiLlyx98 mainly TH-cam… I don’t have anybody to communicate with and the people I do talk to I could never call them on this thing they don’t have a phone to call and if they did they would have a heart attack. I also like to just google things and read.
There's a weird alternate reality version of this happening right now on TikTok. I wish I knew her name, but there's a sweet girl on TikTok who recently left the Amish community and is now living a "worldly" lifestyle but she makes TikTok's sharing Amish recipes and I guess she recently put out a cook book and some of her food looks really good
Question, do Amish usually decorate their homes with plastic leaves and berries (26:24). for Christmas Admittedly I don't know a whole lot about the Amish or their beliefs but the plastic foliage seems unusual.
Dear god, why does literally everyone in this movie only talk in lower case? Were they filming it while Dad was asleep in the other room after a long day at work in the coal mines or something?

Yeah I got mixed answers looking into this online. It's hard because each Amish sect has different rules.
My old order family I don’t talk to at all but my new order is fine. Some people will talk to me but not eat a meal with me.
Old order amish are more strict then some newer ones.

@@xLiLlyx98 I stoopit, don’ yell at me or nothin’
to be fair the amish are also just a cult.
2:47 I got this far and realized a cookbook I saw at Walmart the other day is related to this movie.
"caffeine queen" bruh it took 5 min for me to die.
Also happy holidays everybody
you’re the only youtuber i instantly click on, i hope u know how much your humour cheers me up
Agreed. Every video cracks me up.
Why would a cookbook need illustrations? Regardless of if it's amish, most of the potential audience for a cookbook will want to see photos of the recipe results.
No, Amish cookbooks use illustrations rather than photographs. I thought illustrations was the norm but judging by other comments in here I guess not..
they're not even colored!!!
Depends on the book, however genuine Amish cookbooks are far more likely than other modern cookbooks to be illustrated due to religious restrictions on technology. It gives the reader an idea of what it should look like without having to use technology like cameras and just makes the pages look nicer.
17:55, somehow, the deer just DECIDED to appear on the road. That deer wanted tragedy to happen, and it was plotting this scheme the whole time. Imo, there are several ways that it can be written better.......but oh well, we need a true villain and that was the deer
I don’t believe the writer’s people have ever met an Amish person in their life.
'Christmas at the Amish bakery' sounds like a rejected Christmas song from the 90's.
17:58 This is why you are actually supposed to hit the deer instead of swerving.
How does every pastry in this movie look like it’s been left out on a sidewalk outside a Walmart for 3 weeks.
My Amish father told me: "Don't take any wooden nickles ya hear!"
I still don't know what it means
21:10 my amish father is about as real as my actual father.
Link noise is superb 10/10 I feel like I’m in Hyrule right now
The guy looks like josh (until dawn) if he had listened to dr phill and taken his medication😭🙏
Just saw him after your comment and had the biggest laugh. Thanks.
Mr. Robot
Until dawn mentioned!🙏
josh is modeled after and voiced by rami malek, so I guess you're agreeing with andy without realizing it 💀 (4:02)
@@adorablycutekitten5291came here to say this, like, Josh IS Rami Malek my guy
Will the TH-cam Happy Hour be recorded to be made available online afterwards?
I'd love to see all my favorite professional yappers on stage, but as a broke dude from Germany, the show's absolutely unreachable for me.
Double-feature of Christmas at the Amish Bakery + Suspiria (2018)
Who hangs up an outdoor "No Trespassing" sign by propping it on a nail like it's a portrait in a living room? Unbelievable.
Andy looks like Where’s Waldo in this vid. 😂😂😂
My favourite part of the movie is when they throw giant cheese wheels at each other, such a fun scene
I think if you got the original voice actors for Silent Hill 2 to read off this script, I think it’d still have the same vibe. I can imagine James saying “you are a coffee angel!”
i think your sense of humor is like if you averaged my sense of humor and my brother's. like you've got the delivery of a cool guy for whom things just kinda work out, but it's tempered by the enthusiastic specificity of an autistic lesbian older sister. great work keep it up 👍
YOU TAKE THAT BACK, ANDY. CREAM OF WHEAT IS FIRE
I will not stand for this cream of wheat slander
I will not abide by this Cream of Wheat slander! It's smooth and delicious. Especially the Strawberries and Cream one.
He needs to do a 90's sit com opening like Full House or something with everyone
Is that a GunnarTV in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
i dont blame youtubers for questionable sponsorships but the funniest ones are the ones where you can make more money by walking past a wendy's drive thru and picking up the loose change
edit: oh hey look the guy who made honey made pie. I wonder what news recently came out about honey. RIP any of Andy’s affiliate links
What's so wild is that Amish people can't even watch this. . . Who is this movie for??
Short answer: conservative evangelicals
Slightly longer answer:The Amish romance novel is a staple and mainly appeals to more conservative Evangelical Christians in the United States that reconciles the escapist romance subject with focusing on faith rather than the genre's erotic aspects alongside valorizing tradition. (For more info, the TH-cam channel ReligionForBreakfast has a great introduction to the Amish that covers this.)
middle aged mothers and up
12:08 I'm surprised Andy didn't mention this see the snow on the ground clip behind them😭😭😭
I would like to say that your link sound was immediately recognizable as a link sound, and I think that's the highest compliment such a sound can receive.
i could have ai generated this movie word for word in my own brain
Nah the ai version would have been MUCH better
@@_SunscreenQueen_ Nah. At least this is human boring. AI boring is just icky. At least this has soul. Boring soul, but soul.
@@perpetualsick i’ll take a boring soul over an icky one ☝️
The plot of this movie is literally one of the major conflicts in elf
I've heard that they give the young adults a choice and if you leave at that point before committing to the lifestyle and community you don't get shunned, but if you leave after committing and getting baptized you do get shunned. I'm not an expert though, so I could be wrong.
Religious cults are always bad. The Amish community is a religious cult. (I grew up right next to Pinecrest.) They do make damn good pie, though. Shout-out to Yoder's!
No but for real though! Hair down in their faces in movies and shows drives me insane. Esp when cooking or running from zombies.
tis the season to enjoy the holiday themed videos from my favorite youtubers
Seems like amish are getting a little confused with Mennonites and crunchy influencers online wattpad style 😂
I actually saw this on my TV with my mom, and I started cackling at like every scene with the “Amish” in it. Also, 4:02 WHAT.
7:32
Hate to say it but she just described my dad. My dad loved working, we would go on hikes nearly everyday, and he always made sure that we would put our phones down while we ate (especially at restaurants).
Too bad my dad is a pile of ashes, she would’ve loved him.
Nah but this whole movies gives me intense second hand embarrassment😭😭😭
A movie about a village of people cut off from society trying to convince the new woman to join them have their next generation of children? I thought Midsommar was already a movie
the cadence of their speech is as slow as a freaking IV drip dear GOD 😭
How dare youtube hide this for me for 18 minutes
Thank you for this blessing of a video andy
I love when Andy suffers through things for us
What is it about hallmark christmas movies that look so CHEAP is it the color grading , lack thereof ? , the angles ? I cant put my finger on it
I think it’s the lack of artistry. Like everything looks really plain? Generic set, generic costumes, generic props, lackluster script, actors are whoever local people they could hire from a theater troupe. Each frame of the movie just looks unspecial
Thanks for all the great videos! Have a wonderful and restful holiday, Mr. King.
2:19 that name sounds like something straight out of ace attorney
Hello Andy, good to see ya
9:22 Minecraft Ghasts be like:
Omfg
16:27 I can’t be the only one who was waiting for “BEGIN DISCUSSION!!!” at the end of that, right?
uphold your break and enjoy rest! we'll be here when you get back
Link noise was pretty good ngl when you did I thought “wait was that a link noise?”
I’m Amish and I hide this phone in my barn and I sneak out at night to use it and sometimes during the day when I’m alone. I have to go to the local library to charge it and “pick up new books”
What do you use it for? Communication? Just TH-cam?
Ezekiel and Jebediah are going to have a FIELD day when I tell them what you’re doing. More chores for you!
/s
@@xLiLlyx98 mainly TH-cam… I don’t have anybody to communicate with and the people I do talk to I could never call them on this thing they don’t have a phone to call and if they did they would have a heart attack. I also like to just google things and read.
Happy holidays! Take and enjoy your break, dang it!
There's a weird alternate reality version of this happening right now on TikTok. I wish I knew her name, but there's a sweet girl on TikTok who recently left the Amish community and is now living a "worldly" lifestyle but she makes TikTok's sharing Amish recipes and I guess she recently put out a cook book and some of her food looks really good
Question, do Amish usually decorate their homes with plastic leaves and berries (26:24). for Christmas Admittedly I don't know a whole lot about the Amish or their beliefs but the plastic foliage seems unusual.
Dear god, why does literally everyone in this movie only talk in lower case? Were they filming it while Dad was asleep in the other room after a long day at work in the coal mines or something?
My Amish father helped me publish a New York Times best seller cook book
I super duper appreciate this as someone who gets super disappointed when I don't have shit to watch
