Sounds like you need to do an interview with the guys behind 'Til Death do us Blart', an annual podcast in which the participants have agreed to watch the second Paul Blart movie once a year until they die
technically after they die they'll pass the podcast down to someone else the end goal is to keep watching the second paul blart movie once a year until the sun explodes
"im commander kent" followed immediately by 3 different ians on 3 different days saying "im commander cunt" in exact unison is infinitely funnier than anything this movie wrought
There's a podcast called Til Death Do Us Blart, where they watch PB2 every American Thanksgiving for the rest of their lives. Great case study for what repeated Blart exposure does to a person lol
the funny thing is what Paul does is meaningless. Its just money getting stolen electronically from big chain stores. The bank can undo the theft with no problem, its insured even if the bank has their files fucked with, and honestly who gives a fuck if a multi-billion dollar company DOES lose the profits from one store on a weekend. He risks his life and the lives of the hostages to protect corporate profit.
I love how often DVD commentary is just people shitting on the movie. Armageddon's is pretty much just Ben Affleck shitting on it and making fun of Michael Bay.
I like the formatting. Instead of doing the normal “Start on day one, move onto two, etc.” you just seeded in your reactions from any given day. A lot of fun to watch.
Movies introduce someone and tell you their name and then never say their name again. Some people are fine with this. Other people with peanut brain memories like me functionally don't even hear it the first time.
A formative memory i have with my dad is going to see this in theaters while my mom was out of town. I had never seen a movie so bad in theaters yet (i was like 11), so about halfway through i asked my dad if you were “allowed to leave a movie theater before the movies over.” he just sighed so deep and miserably said “technically yes, but this was like $20 dollar a pop that we can’t get back so let’s just see it through.” I learned so much about the world that day.
Dang your dude sucks, you can get a refund for a movie even if you watch the whole thing. I have had to leave plenty of movies and i always got a refund.
The actor he mentions at 6:15 is Stephen Rannazzisi. His Career was on a upward trajectory until he went on Marc Maron's podcast and told a story about being in one of the towers on 9/11. Of course he completely made it up and got called out for it. Needless to say, his career crashed and burned faster than those planes that hit the towers.
This is the kinda Blart lore I needed in my life, the douche bag pen salesman guy lied about being a part of a national tragedy. My headcanon continues to expand
I’m so happy our boy Ian is reviewing a movie again!! And it’s Paul Blart?! I’ve watched his TV/movie reviews at least once a year!! So this is another treat on the yearly watch!
Rip. My parents used to rent movies and not return them, so we’d have the same thing playing all day everyday for idek how long 🤦♂️ I blame my trauma and on this
Watching people's opinions change and struggles to keep engaged over multiple viewings is so good. The podcast "Till Death Do Us Blart" does it with Mall Cop 2 once a year and the origin podcast "Worst Idea of All Time" does it once a week for a year for each movie
The definition of a "guilty pleasure". Die Hard in a mall with a doofy fat guy, but James' dedication to the role is what makes it. At no point do you doubt that this is his mall, and he will serve and protect it at all costs.
@@connor48880 I would go to bat for the first one on this regard, but the second one is the most disappointed I've been in my entire life. I walked out of that theater a changed man, and not for the better
I grew up near the mall where they filmed Paul Blart and one of the crowning achievements of my life is going to see the movie on opening night in the theater right next to that mall
i love how unnecessarily far they went with the die hard parody to the point they made it inexplicably during christmas despite having nothing to do with the day otherwise
There's an amazing podcast called The Worst Idea of All Time where they watch Grown Ups 2 every week for a year and it takes them an astonishingly long time to fully recap the plot lol
I like how Ian's content has evolved from standard video game review channel, to an arg that goes over old tv specials, to an unhinged cooking channel, and now he's just watching Paul Blart 7 days in a row for some reason. I don't understand it but I'm here for it.
That Hello Fresh plug in was absolutely amazing! All I want in life is to be friends with the guy because it would only include sarcasm and laughing at all times
I think the fact that Paul Blart didn't really accomplish anything is part of the point. He didn't save the day, and he flubbed all the badass stuff, but he was genuinely trying to help every step of the way. He was an earnest character in a mall full of jackasses. In that sense, he kind of mirrors Rocky in the first movie: A down-on-his-luck loser who ultimately fails, but it turns out he didn't need to succeed to be respected. He proved what he was capable of, however little it was, and he won the love of his life for it. Y'know, until the love of his life divorces him and he has to be a bumbling idiot a second time for the box office bucks. God, these movies suck.
The handing the kid a bag thing actually works. A lot of kids will cry over things that are really just minor fixations, and if you can distract them from it by giving them something to do, it stops them from focusing on them and calms them down. Also, kids are really stupid.
Don’t you dare try and speak reason and logic into the Lynchian classic that is Paul Blart: Mall Cop. That scene is actually a reference to the film “the red balloon” in which a boy befriends a red balloon. James has been quoted as being a big fan of French cinema, especially that in the pre-new wave era of the 60s and 70s, and he insisted on this scene being included. The bag is the child’s friend, her seemingly only real connection because as you can see, her mother is only barely holding her hand - the connection is broken but tethered. As Blart hands the bag(the red balloon) back to the child, the mothers hand on her daughter grips harder than ever before and Blart has reformed the connection between mother and child. Before Blart speeds away to show kindness and healing to more who are so lucky to pass him, he gives a thumbs up, Something we all associate with the understanding of safe zones in the case of nuclear fallout. You would use your thumb against the horizon to check if you are safe from the blast. We can see that Blart does this and if testing the angle, his thumb is at a safe distance from the child’s nuke face. This was a meta Easter egg in regards to the fact that Kevin James wishes he never had children and instead would love to work and please only himself. The artist, James, includes so many little moments into his films that it is up to us to watch and watch and watch them.
How many children have you dealt with? Because most of the ones I've been with haven't been stupid. Last holiday my sibling's 2-year-old would momentarily be distracted by safe toys but then started to point and whine again towards a room they had found a plastic bag in, until eventually crying when they realized we'd keep refusing their pleas.
Fun fact: the mall where parts of this movie were filmed was my childhood mall that I went to practically every weekend as a kid. I distinctly remember seeing some of the fake stores they mocked up for the scenes they filmed there as well as the out of season Santa’s Village. I have eaten at that Legal Seafoods and Rainforest Café more times than I can remember. Very surreal to know that I have walked the same ground that Paul Blart’s Segway has rolled on…
Yeah, they were trying to just stuff anything in and hope it worked. Honestly, if they had gone with a more action angle with better comedy, they could have had a pretty solid Die Hard parody with an uplifting message about being average/old/disabled/etc. You can sort of see it, but they mostly squander it
Being a diabetic, having a hypoglycaemic event is like tripping balls big time. Everything turns into fractals and you think the world around you is fake. So maybe instead of falling asleep Officer Blart should've gone ape-shit.
The comparison of all 7 reactions was so precious, haha. I love how some parts wore you down over time, and other parts got the same reaction. I'm frustrated that I wanted Paul Blart to be a better movie, lol
my mom got really into Poldark when it started airing on PBS, but she pronounces Poldark so that it sounds a lot like Paul Blart, so when she told me she was watching Poldark every night, I thought she was doing literally this.
No. Hans Grüber's plan requires it to be Christmas specifically, and John McClane wouldn't be there in a position that allows his actions if it weren't Christmas. In Paul Blart, ANY event at the mall would allow the same scenario to play out. The holiday has to be integral to the plot for it to be a true Christmas movie, not just taking place at that time of year. "The Princess Bride" (tied for my all-time favorite movie, and an absolute masterpiece) has the scenes with Peter Falk and Fred Savage take place at Christmas, but it's not remotely a Christmas movie either.
@@totz_the_plaid9625 taking place at some point during the Christmas season “Happy holidays” 😅 and being a Christmas movie are two completely different things.
This movie is like warm sweat pants from the dryer. It’s comforting and warm but at the end of the day it’s just good sweat pants….. nothing special but the love for both the pants and movie is gold.
i know everyone rags on this movie but it has such a special place in my heart because i remember deciding to watch it with my mom in the middle of the night when i was around 8 and the scene where he tries to jump to a car and misses made us laugh so hard we had to shut the door
Man, logically I know it's not possible to pump out quality content like this on a weekly basis... But every time I see one of your videos I wish it was possible. So good. Thank you.
All you need to know about phone guy is that he has a VERY unhealthy obsession with his ex girlfriend to the point he had a tracker put in her phone and tells Paul not to question it, he’s got a shrine to her in his room, somehow becomes best friends with Paul, and the creepy tracker thing actually ends up saving the day by helping Paul catch up with the bad guy.
You should def listen to "Til Death do us Blart", it'd make a great companion piece to this video - 5 Internet Podcast Dudes meet every year to watch Paul Blart 2, and the gimmick is the podcast will go on for as long as possible (in one episode the hosts choose people that will replace them in the podcast if they're to die), they're around 7 years/episodes in at this point and each episode they get more and more depressed and struggle more and more to find ways to keep the podcast interesting, it's awesome
Fun fact, in the scene where he beats the guy up in the tanning bed, there was supposed to be a block of foam to keep the guy from getting slammed by the lid, except it didn’t really work and he actually did get pretty banged up during the stunt. So it’s kind of as brutal as it looks.
I have watched Paul Blart for one month straight and I think it’s a really good retelling of the Christian Bible dare I say even the Jewish Bible “the Torah” it is one of the most influential movies I have ever seen. It has changed my life inside and out. I hope this is really good for the environment. I love you all peace
Having watched both Paul Blart movies nearly 10 times each, I have to say that in my expert opinion, you fell into one of the classic "Blart Traps". The first film is a perfectly harmless romp through a mall, the second film however takes every single thing the first film did and takes it from a 6/10 to an 11. If you ever do "watching Paul Blart 2 seven days a week", I guarantee you will have at *least* a slightly more enjoyable experience. I thank you for your time. P.S. FOOT LOCKERRRRRRR
I needed this mid-year snack to tide me over between the meals that are Til Death Do Us Blart each Thanksgiving. The one thing I’ll never understand is the McElroys thinking the second one is better than the first, so it’s nice to see this one get the deep dive it so deserves.
Kevin James has one of the funniest stand up routines I've ever seen, and barely cusses at all in it. And I'm not offended by bad language either. His bit about being given greeting cards or being out of shape just from peeling an orange are still quoted in my otherwise degenerate household over a decade later.
I've learned so much from the comments on this video. Thanks for the video, Ian! I like your videos pretty consistently, but the ones that come completely out of left field are always particularly memorable.
I honestly have never seen this movie but I feel like I have now. Thank you Ian for sparing me wasting like two hours of my life on this. You're a gem!
Ian! I just moved to Texas from Colorado and I’m missing it horribly. I’ve been watching your old videos and they have been making me feel so much better and less anxious. Thank you for being you!
Huh, so random detail I noticed during this video, when you kept showing the karaoke guy I thought 'is that Kevin James doing a duel role for a random singer?' turns out that's Gary Valentine aka Kevin's older brother.
This one time some friends and I sat down and decided to watch Paul Blart 1 and 2 back to back. The "Blartening" as we called it. By the end of it we were starting to lose touch with reality. Time became blurred; the minutes crawled by yet the movies were over before we knew it. Jokes that were by no means funny started to land, resulting in increasingly violent fits of laughter. As the movies strayed further from reality, so too did our minds begin to crumble as our brains tried desperately to comprehend what our senses perceived. These movies broke us. That's the power of Paul Blart. Anyway, fun movie if you're looking to have a laugh with some friends
I remember getting so obsessed with the Johnny Depp version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when it came out, I insisted on watching it every single day for like a month. Even brought the DVD and forced my cousins into it when we visited them for a weekend. I wish I could say I gleaned some insight out of it, but it was really just a stupid Neurodivergent Fixation™
I’m so happy our boy Ian is reviewing a movie again!! And it’s Paul Blart?! I’ve watched his TV/movie reviews at least once a year!! So this is another treat on the yearly watch!
I absolutely LOVE the framing of going through the movie with clips from all the days together. It's like in time travel movies where all the past and future versions of a person meet in the same room.
I would say this was a weird thing to do. But I distinctly remember my brother and I watching Finding Nemo every night one week in the summer. Just because we could.
I remember my mom rented us Cheaper by the Dozen and we watched it together one night. No clue why, but I decided to watch it again that next morning, but I fell asleep during it. An hour or so later I was gonna eat lunch and wanted something to watch while I did, so I decided to watch it again. Shortly after I watched it again. I think at this point I got the thought in my head "heh, I already watched it three times, wouldn't it be an accomplishment to watch it 12 times, because "dozen" is 12, and that's the title?!?!?" I watched the movie 12 times in one weekend before we returned it to the theater. Never even liked the movie in the slightest. I'm pretty sure Daddy Daycare was another movie I watched like 10 times in a single renting too, and I didn't like it either(I think DDC I watched it mainly because the scene where they look at the messy bathroom in horror had me confused, and I wanted to make some sense of the scene before we returned it) Damn I had a lazy fucking childhood.....
I’ve done that, too. I usually watch a really good movie again the next day after exploring the meaning, or revisit scenes if I have time. I did that with Amadeus, 4 watches in 3 days, and it’s not a short movie at 3 hours, but those 3 hours are all excellent!
It did not occur to me that you were going to watch the same movie 7 days on a row and was a little too willing to accept that there was a 7 movie long Mall Cop saga I was unaware of
I think the Pall Blart Mall Blart series would be amazing if Paul Blart died at the end of each film only to be mysteriously resurrected at the start of the next one only to die horribly again by the end of that one and so on...be even funnier if the film makers never acknowledged WHY it was happening either. I'd watch ten of those.
Literally all I remember about this movie is that the ringtone for the cellphone is some girl saying she's the type of girl who wants someone to chew up her bubblegum
just from the title of this, I kinda love that you're accidentally doing what one of my favorite podcasts does except with the original paul blart and only a week instead of paul blart 2 and the rest of eternity
I watched this movie with my girlfriend and we absolutely loved it. We were both losing our shit laughing. Although we were also both complete wasted drunk so that probably has something to do with it
They filmed this at my local mall! There was signs everywhere about it being Christmas during the summer and they’re filming a movie. I didn’t realize all the stores had their summer stuff out during the movie. That’s hilarious 😂
Gary Larson once made a panel where the only movie in hell was Ishtar, and later apologized for it because he actually liked Ishtar once he finally got to watching it on an airplane flight (in his words it wasn't the best movie ever, but it wasn't this cinematic abomination, either) and only made the original from word of mouth. To me, I think a bad movie should be one that pleases no one. The people making it don't know what they're doing, people watching aren't exactly won over, and critics who look back on it go "did this thing even need to exist?" I think Paul Blart almost falls into that "if there was one movie in hell" category. It's not good enough for casual interest beyond maybe a bucket list but not bad enough to warrant a RiffTrax.
If you went to this movie with your dad or mom it was the funniest movie and it was no different with me and my dad seeing this one in the theater and all I can say that it was a day to remember ❤
I remember seeing the first one with my dad as a kid on threaters and me laughed our asses off. We then saw the sequel in threaters for free because he won free tickets and after seeing it he wanted his money back.
Back when I was growing up we didn't have movies, it was just grain that you had to move around and imagine the exciting scenes. In many ways it was better, but grain is so expensive now.
Its not about kevin james falling down, its about him standing back up
This statement actually goes hard
Jevin kames
The film itself is a live action version of Peter Griffin in a film. His way of falling down is the same way Peter falls down.

Ian's videos are that unnaturally cozy day you had a few years ago that you think about from time to time
watching peak cinema for 7days
“This is cinema”
-Martin Scorsese
NACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - Nacho Libre.
Not Shrek🤨?
@@Duncaster This is cinema fr - Martin Scorcese
He should have watched it in increasing frequency as well. Day 2, two times. Day 3, three times, etc.
The comparison of all 7 reactions was so precious, haha. I love how some parts wore you down over time, and other parts got the same reaction. I'm frustrated that I wanted Paul Blart to be a better movie, lol
Hey you got two of the letters of her name right not bad for seven straight days of watching!
im glad someone appreciates my skills
my mom got really into Poldark when it started airing on PBS, but she pronounces Poldark so that it sounds a lot like Paul Blart, so when she told me she was watching Poldark every night, I thought she was doing literally this.
If Die Hard is a Christmas movie, so is Paul Blart
No.
Hans Grüber's plan requires it to be Christmas specifically, and John McClane wouldn't be there in a position that allows his actions if it weren't Christmas.
In Paul Blart, ANY event at the mall would allow the same scenario to play out.
The holiday has to be integral to the plot for it to be a true Christmas movie, not just taking place at that time of year.
"The Princess Bride" (tied for my all-time favorite movie, and an absolute masterpiece) has the scenes with Peter Falk and Fred Savage take place at Christmas, but it's not remotely a Christmas movie either.
the real thing getting in the way of paul blart being a christmas movie is that it sucks so nobody wants to watch it yearly
Now this is the cinematic discourse I really love to see.
Neither are.
@@totz_the_plaid9625 taking place at some point during the Christmas season “Happy holidays” 😅 and being a Christmas movie are two completely different things.
Fun Fact: Some parts of the mall were shot at a local mall I use to go to called the Burlington Mall in Massachusetts. It was neat.
3:28 the shot you hate is Kevin's real-life wife making a cameo. That could be his real kid(s) too, I don't recall their ages at the time of the movie
That’s cool! His wife is very pretty.
Lol that's funny
The McElroy brothers have a podcast “Til Death Do Us Blart” where they only watch Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 once a year every year until the end of time
They are truly a content factory huh
14:23 15:39 i love that the plop joke is still going
the "plop" sound effect is truly something you have blessed us with
I hated how dimly lit it was the entire time, but I still enjoy it.
Ok
What are you doing here ?! Lmao
Well.... Did not expect to see you here
Really was felt kinda depressing but still good movie
@@coryifxckinhateyou9399 False
I'm already in stitches and its only 5:25 LMAO watching seven days of ian react to the same shot at once is hilarious, this is a great format
This movie is like warm sweat pants from the dryer. It’s comforting and warm but at the end of the day it’s just good sweat pants….. nothing special but the love for both the pants and movie is gold.
I'm having an absolutely abysmal day, but I think "Paul Blart Disease" just made the sun come up from behind the clouds.
Paul Blart gives me warm feelings like I'm back in 2009. Back when games like Rock Band were popular and the iPhone was barely off it's feet.
Its* feet.
i agree
i know everyone rags on this movie but it has such a special place in my heart because i remember deciding to watch it with my mom in the middle of the night when i was around 8 and the scene where he tries to jump to a car and misses made us laugh so hard we had to shut the door
Holy crap you actually did it.
Man, logically I know it's not possible to pump out quality content like this on a weekly basis... But every time I see one of your videos I wish it was possible. So good. Thank you.
I love it when influential TH-camrs use their platform to raise awareness for devastating illnesses like Paul Blart Disease. Bless you, BrutalMoose 🙏
All you need to know about phone guy is that he has a VERY unhealthy obsession with his ex girlfriend to the point he had a tracker put in her phone and tells Paul not to question it, he’s got a shrine to her in his room, somehow becomes best friends with Paul, and the creepy tracker thing actually ends up saving the day by helping Paul catch up with the bad guy.
You should def listen to "Til Death do us Blart", it'd make a great companion piece to this video - 5 Internet Podcast Dudes meet every year to watch Paul Blart 2, and the gimmick is the podcast will go on for as long as possible (in one episode the hosts choose people that will replace them in the podcast if they're to die), they're around 7 years/episodes in at this point and each episode they get more and more depressed and struggle more and more to find ways to keep the podcast interesting, it's awesome
This man has both Myst and Pyst. He's unstoppable!
That's quite a Lyst.
Do you get the Jyst?
Fun fact, in the scene where he beats the guy up in the tanning bed, there was supposed to be a block of foam to keep the guy from getting slammed by the lid, except it didn’t really work and he actually did get pretty banged up during the stunt. So it’s kind of as brutal as it looks.
Whatever formula was used to make this specific video, it's fantastic. Do not change a thing.
I have watched Paul Blart for one month straight and I think it’s a really good retelling of the Christian Bible dare I say even the Jewish Bible “the Torah” it is one of the most influential movies I have ever seen. It has changed my life inside and out. I hope this is really good for the environment. I love you all peace
👏🏻
Having watched both Paul Blart movies nearly 10 times each, I have to say that in my expert opinion, you fell into one of the classic "Blart Traps". The first film is a perfectly harmless romp through a mall, the second film however takes every single thing the first film did and takes it from a 6/10 to an 11. If you ever do "watching Paul Blart 2 seven days a week", I guarantee you will have at *least* a slightly more enjoyable experience.
I thank you for your time.
P.S.
FOOT LOCKERRRRRRR
I haven't even seen it yet and I can already say this will be an all time Brutalmoose video
Brutalmoose and Till Death do Us Blart podcast coming together is just gold
Shoutouts to Death Blart I was looking through the comments for someone to mention it
15:00 "floop is a madman, help us, save us!" Made me pause the video to laugh, so good
The “Right at your door” and “Left at your door” was so clever. Same meaning, different words that are opposites.
Also, spectacular flower suit.
I needed this mid-year snack to tide me over between the meals that are Til Death Do Us Blart each Thanksgiving. The one thing I’ll never understand is the McElroys thinking the second one is better than the first, so it’s nice to see this one get the deep dive it so deserves.
Kevin James has one of the funniest stand up routines I've ever seen, and barely cusses at all in it. And I'm not offended by bad language either. His bit about being given greeting cards or being out of shape just from peeling an orange are still quoted in my otherwise degenerate household over a decade later.
It's going to be so kool to see 1 million subscribers pretty soon man.
Great work throughout the years.
I've learned so much from the comments on this video.
Thanks for the video, Ian! I like your videos pretty consistently, but the ones that come completely out of left field are always particularly memorable.
Should've alternated between the first and the second movie; now you gotta watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 for a whole month!
I honestly have never seen this movie but I feel like I have now. Thank you Ian for sparing me wasting like two hours of my life on this. You're a gem!
Ian! I just moved to Texas from Colorado and I’m missing it horribly. I’ve been watching your old videos and they have been making me feel so much better and less anxious. Thank you for being you!
Hang in there. Texas is a huge place but I promise, she's beautiful with awesome people.
@John McAlister to be fair, Texas does also have mountains
I truly loved the Paul Blart Movie. “the mind is the only weapon that doesn’t need a holster” is my senior quote.
One viewing of Paul Blart is enough for any man. How Ian is still with us, is a mystery and miracle.
Huh, so random detail I noticed during this video, when you kept showing the karaoke guy I thought 'is that Kevin James doing a duel role for a random singer?' turns out that's Gary Valentine aka Kevin's older brother.
So this movie was filmed at the Burlington Mall in Burlington, MA. You should totally do a mall review.
This one time some friends and I sat down and decided to watch Paul Blart 1 and 2 back to back. The "Blartening" as we called it. By the end of it we were starting to lose touch with reality. Time became blurred; the minutes crawled by yet the movies were over before we knew it. Jokes that were by no means funny started to land, resulting in increasingly violent fits of laughter. As the movies strayed further from reality, so too did our minds begin to crumble as our brains tried desperately to comprehend what our senses perceived. These movies broke us. That's the power of Paul Blart.
Anyway, fun movie if you're looking to have a laugh with some friends
I remember getting so obsessed with the Johnny Depp version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when it came out, I insisted on watching it every single day for like a month. Even brought the DVD and forced my cousins into it when we visited them for a weekend. I wish I could say I gleaned some insight out of it, but it was really just a stupid Neurodivergent Fixation™
Seeing Pyst on your desk sent me back. I only know what that game is because of you lmao
I’m so happy our boy Ian is reviewing a movie again!! And it’s Paul Blart?!
I’ve watched his TV/movie reviews at least once a year!! So this is another treat on the yearly watch!
I absolutely LOVE the framing of going through the movie with clips from all the days together. It's like in time travel movies where all the past and future versions of a person meet in the same room.
The shot where he gives the kid the bag is actually with his real wife and kids.
I'm very glad someone finally answered the question "What if Die Hard was in a mall and sucked?"
I would say this was a weird thing to do. But I distinctly remember my brother and I watching Finding Nemo every night one week in the summer. Just because we could.
I remember my mom rented us Cheaper by the Dozen and we watched it together one night.
No clue why, but I decided to watch it again that next morning, but I fell asleep during it.
An hour or so later I was gonna eat lunch and wanted something to watch while I did, so I decided to watch it again.
Shortly after I watched it again.
I think at this point I got the thought in my head "heh, I already watched it three times, wouldn't it be an accomplishment to watch it 12 times, because "dozen" is 12, and that's the title?!?!?"
I watched the movie 12 times in one weekend before we returned it to the theater.
Never even liked the movie in the slightest.
I'm pretty sure Daddy Daycare was another movie I watched like 10 times in a single renting too, and I didn't like it either(I think DDC I watched it mainly because the scene where they look at the messy bathroom in horror had me confused, and I wanted to make some sense of the scene before we returned it)
Damn I had a lazy fucking childhood.....
I’ve done that, too. I usually watch a really good movie again the next day after exploring the meaning, or revisit scenes if I have time. I did that with Amadeus, 4 watches in 3 days, and it’s not a short movie at 3 hours, but those 3 hours are all excellent!
Omg, I needed that, especially the best hello fresh commercial that will ever be made.
There's a special place in movie hell for Paul Blart. Its the "??? Genre" and Scooby-Doo did not approve of the use of his name.
It did not occur to me that you were going to watch the same movie 7 days on a row and was a little too willing to accept that there was a 7 movie long Mall Cop saga I was unaware of
Dude you make the BEST videos to watch while stoned
Brutal Moose videos never cease to amaze me. I think this channel is propping you tube up for me.
I think the Pall Blart Mall Blart series would be amazing if Paul Blart died at the end of each film only to be mysteriously resurrected at the start of the next one only to die horribly again by the end of that one and so on...be even funnier if the film makers never acknowledged WHY it was happening either. I'd watch ten of those.
Literally all I remember about this movie is that the ringtone for the cellphone is some girl saying she's the type of girl who wants someone to chew up her bubblegum
I've missed your movie videos, Ian!
just from the title of this, I kinda love that you're accidentally doing what one of my favorite podcasts does except with the original paul blart and only a week instead of paul blart 2 and the rest of eternity
I watched this movie with my girlfriend and we absolutely loved it. We were both losing our shit laughing.
Although we were also both complete wasted drunk so that probably has something to do with it
always nice to hear from plant ian
They filmed this at my local mall! There was signs everywhere about it being Christmas during the summer and they’re filming a movie. I didn’t realize all the stores had their summer stuff out during the movie. That’s hilarious 😂
Gary Larson once made a panel where the only movie in hell was Ishtar, and later apologized for it because he actually liked Ishtar once he finally got to watching it on an airplane flight (in his words it wasn't the best movie ever, but it wasn't this cinematic abomination, either) and only made the original from word of mouth.
To me, I think a bad movie should be one that pleases no one. The people making it don't know what they're doing, people watching aren't exactly won over, and critics who look back on it go "did this thing even need to exist?"
I think Paul Blart almost falls into that "if there was one movie in hell" category. It's not good enough for casual interest beyond maybe a bucket list but not bad enough to warrant a RiffTrax.
If you went to this movie with your dad or mom it was the funniest movie and it was no different with me and my dad seeing this one in the theater and all I can say that it was a day to remember ❤
I saw it with a friend in theaters in 7th grade and it was the worst movie I had ever seen up to that point.
I remember seeing the first one with my dad as a kid on threaters and me laughed our asses off.
We then saw the sequel in threaters for free because he won free tickets and after seeing it he wanted his money back.
I loved seeing your different expressions on the different watch throughs, it really made for some hilarious moments!
Wait until you hear about the guys who watch Paul Blart 2 every Thanksgiving until the end of time.
been highly anticipating this from the stream VODs and it was well worth the wait. Can't wait for the the review of Paul Blart 2: The Blartening
Back when I was growing up we didn't have movies, it was just grain that you had to move around and imagine the exciting scenes. In many ways it was better, but grain is so expensive now.
If you watch a movie, are you going against the grain?
This was the last thing I could have expected a video about, and apparently it's exactly what I wanted. This was amazing.
