Simone is referring to methanol fire and it’s horrifying. Nobody can tell that you’re burning alive, and if they get too close, it spreads to them too.
Thank you, I was going to the comments to explain this. I think I heard about it first on Parks and Rec, and I looked it up to see if it was real. Methanol. Absolutely terrifying.
A video talking about methanol fires called "the horror of methanol fires last moments" that talks about a specific incident is on TH-cam for anyone curious.
Only this. Thats the best parody movie ive ever seen. I almost wanna spit on peoples shoes when they say Scary Movie or Disaster Movie or something. Not Another Teen Movie was the best one until Walk Hard came out. I Never like scary movie, even when I was 9, when they came out :/. Just a personal opinion lol.
4:53 That's Dale Earnhardt Jr., and yes, he's a very famous racer. He's retired now, but he won the NASCAR Cup Series 26 times, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame just last year. His father was also a popular racer, but he died in a crash during a race.
Dale Jr is a legend in his own right, but to give Dale Jr a small paragraph and then mention Dale Sr in passing is…absurd. Dale Sr is the biggest legend of the sport love him or hate him.
@@johngage856 yeah whoever wrote the original comment must be too young to remember how good Dale Sr. was. I like Jr plenty but he wasn't nearly the driver his daddy was.
His father, the 7x's series champion, who won 50 more races than his son....was also a popular driver. Sorry, but was it opposite day when you posted this?
RIP to Michael Clarke Duncan He was so funny, but could deliver such powerful dramatics too. For more of his talent - Slammin Salmon and Michael Bay's The Island
There are a number of reasons why they push the car. One being to avoid the car being stalled (which causes stresses on certain parts of the car). Also it keeps the running hours on the engines to a minimum, thus minimizing the chances of parts wearing out mid-race. The engines usually only last about 1000 miles, and are some pretty extreme examples of what can be done on that engine configuration. So, every tiny bit that you can save is a positive. Racing at the highest level of any given Motorsport is an exercise in extremes, so teams do whatever they can to gain an edge, or prevent themselves from losing an edge
They're also loud AF and I feel like having cars idling out to pit road all morning would have some effect on pre race ceremonies and kind of take away from the start your engines command before the race starts.
@@rdlangston13that and especially these cars (not so much now since they are fuel injected) they wouldn’t even let off of the gas pedal for a lot of the plate tracks they do what’s called dragging breaks because the strain on the engine to lift off the gas would buring the injectors and pistons up. These cars are not meant to be ran anything but full throttle. Even at Bristol they would set the rev limiter lower so they could still run “full throttle”
idk about now adays but in the past the first gear ratio was set to very high top speed ratios, they would even push the car out of the pits and (just guessing here) maybe its why they did rolling starts? i think nascar needs to have a bit more respect, top speed racing close to other cars is pretty intense, its just a different thing than formula one
If I have to pick one movie quote to put on my tombstone when I die it’s probably gonna be "If you don’t chew Big Red then fuck you." That shit has lived in my head rent free since I was 13. 😂
This is possibly my favorite comedy ever. It’s just gut busting lever funny pretty much throughout. Step brothers is more popular because the jokes are a bit more universal, whereas this humor is clearly directed at a specific topic. But it’s just absolutely comedic gold.
@@BigMateo24 Here's how. He's referencing heads of religions to pray to, so including Tom Cruise is the joke because he's one of the biggest outspoken and famous advocates of scientology. I'm not saying there can't be a little nod to Days of Thunder, because it was a racing movie too, but bringing Tom's name up in that context, praying to religious leaders, wouldn't make any sense if he wasn't so famous and well known as being like...the top guy, celebrity, in scientology. I'm not sure of his exact status but everybody knows he's up there and...someBODY very important on it. That's what makes the joke work so well in this scene with Will Ferrell. Other comedy bits, skits, cartoons, etc, have used Tom's position in Scientology in similar premises.
The driver you did not recognize is Dale Earnhardt, Jr. near the beginning of the video. Sr. died in a car wreck racing. I would not say I cannot believe you did not recognize him. I only know him because I have seen him enough in news clips. I do not watch racing. I have friends who do.
yeah, the ads on the car is not an exaggeration, those are the sponsors that help pay to keep the cars in shape. and Michael Clarke Duncan (RIP)... was taken away from us far too soon! serious roles, comedic roles, he was just phenomenal with his craft!
Gary Cole as Ricky's dad is hilarious, and pretty much my own dad, just imagine a more Mexican version lol (better mustache), even crazier than Reese Bobby is the fact that Gary Cole was also Bill Lumbergh in Office Space 😂 and he was funny as hell in HBO'S "Veep" with my crush Julia Louis Dreyfus.
Made me happy that you said "Talla-dee-ga" at the beginning. Residents of the area that live there call it that, while pretty much everyone else calls it "Talla-day-ga". I don't really care either way, but do like to say "Talla-dee-ga" as well just to see who corrects me (as rarely as it comes up in conversation for me.)
@@PruneHub No.... It's "Day-ga". I have been racing my entire life and live 150 miles from Talladega, where the race track is and have been going to there my whole life.
This was the first time that John C. Reily co star in a big comedy. He did tons of movies before this, but they usually were small roles. The director loved the chemistry between the two so much, but was disappointed we didn't see more of it because their characters went their separate ways. So they came up with Step Brothers, so we could see more of them together. Also I think it was after Step Brothers John C. Reily got to star in his own movie called Walk Hard, a parody of the Johnny Cash movie Walk the Line. Although they kind of touch on all the biopic movies. I might put Walk Hard in my top five funniest movies I have ever seen. I can't recommend it enough. Do a reaction to that!
It's not that the fire is so hot, but rather not hot enough. There have been several incidents, where methanol has been used as fuel, and ignited, causing a fire that is practically invisible in daylight.
The invisible fire is a real thing, that scene is definitely based on the well known video of a pit crew and driver engulfed in invisible fire, which is worth checking out (not graphic and I don't think anyone was seriously hurt). It was due to the type of fuel they used to use which produced invisible flames, methanol IIRC.
This is my favorite comedy. I grew up with my grandpa sitting on the couch, drinking a beer and watching NASCAR. This movie always made me think of him. He passed away in 2016 so this movie definitely means a lot to me
When I was little I liked collecting hot wheels and was into race cars but since grew out of it now in adult hood. I see Nascar is a very southern sport despite having popularity every where in the states
The most "rah rah America" movie that's not a war movie or a parody would be either "Miracle" about the Miracle on Ice or "The Right Stuff" about the space race. IMO.
Another comment mentioned this: Michael Clarke Duncan was amazing, and you two should check out another movie he was in: Michael Bay's The Island. Massively underrated movie!
An instant classic for sure! So many golden scenes and themes. The prayer, Cal taking his wife then talking to him like theyre still friends and it never happened, his add reads, the devil kids that pull a ridiculous 180
I had two WoW accounts and I used keyclone so that one button press registered on both characters (so if one mage cast fireball the other one would too... it's called multiboxing). Because of this movie, I had two shamans named Shake and Bake. We would just stand in a field of totems and dance.
AWESOME FUN FACT: This is (for real) Christopher Nolan's favorite movie. The director of the Batman trilogy, Inception, Memento and Interstellar unironically said that this is his favorite movie. I love this world.
One of the main reasons they push the car is heat. They need to keep the temperature of the engine and wheels cool so that they don't explode on the track. They usually keep the car out of the sun and if they have to push it a longer distance sometimes they'll have people carrying umbrellas to protect the car from the sun
"I'm on fire" will forever be one of the funniest scene to me and I feel really bad since now I know the horrors of methanol fire. Yet goddamn it it's fricking Will Ferrell begging for various deities to save him I can't help it lmao
NASCAR is known for its oval driving but quietly NASCAR has become of of the most versatile schedules in Motorsports. They still run a lot of ovals, but they run about 7 road courses now, they run a dirt track once a year, they run a quarter mile race inside the LA Coliseum, and they ran their first ever street course on the streets of Chicago this year.
the guy at the bar who you thought was a driver is IAN ROBERT, one of the founding members of the UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE. The director, Adam Mckay was in the company in the beginning as well.
They should react to episodes from the UCB TV show with Ian Roberts, Amy Poehler, Matt Besser and Matt Walsh from 1998 - Ian is classic in the Ass Pennies sketch..
@@scottstewart5784Just in general, fans of comedy, and especially all these noob fresh casual cinemaphile/reactors, need to know who these people are (Other than Poehler) and see their work and the work of UCB-people. Jack McBrayer is a real-life comedy improv, whether the camera is on or not, he’s hysterical.

That whole "they just drive left" thing is a weird card for dnd people to play. Some people like watching fast cars go left, others like pretending to be wizards in their 30s
Christopher Walken has had such a weird career in the choices of the roles he takes. Annie Hall The Deer Hunter A View to a Kill Suicide kings Balls of Fury
As someone who had never watched or really come across Nascar before seeing this movie it was a hell of a ride. On an unrelated note do you guys not normally photoshop the thumbnails?😅
John Oliver once told a story about the most American thing he'd ever seen was Saliors on 4th of July hitting baseballs out of an inflatable batting cage off the deck of an Aircraft carrier into the water where they were being picked up by other sailors on jetskis. You can kind of see his point.
The follow-up to this was Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Such a scathing deconstruction of the oscarbait musical biopic genre's tropes that they stopped making them for a decade.
You guys talked through a real subtle, but great character beat that's always stayed with every alcoholic that sees it: when Ricky is reunited with his father in a dingy motel and punches him; Pops Bobby, while holding a beer, hits the bed, rolls to the ground, flips and Pops Bobby springs back up, and without calling any attention to it, continues his sip as before, signifying like any true drunk, he never spills a drop. Legend.
I'm throwing a movie suggestion out there: "Miracle", starring Kurt Russell. It's the greatest sports movie ever and is based on a true story about the 1980 U.S.A. hockey team. The pregame locker room speech before the big game is EPIC. You'd have to try and keep as much of it unedited as possible. You won't be disappointed.
That win by the U.S. team is so over-mythologized. The U.S. basically played incredibly dirty and injured some of the Soviets teams biggest stars. And then in the revenge games in '81 Canada Cup and '82 World Championships they lost both of them handily. Someone really should turn that Red Army/Russian Five story into a movie of it's own, probably following Larianov and Fetisov's life stories. Maybe some day when the Russians stop being the absolute worst on the world stage. Ah well.
@johanjarvinen Every team is guilty of playing dirty at some point, and nobody has ever made that claim as far as I know. Even if it is true, that team still had no business beating them. Going from losing 8 or 9 to 1 the week before and beating a machine like that Russian team was should have been nothing short of impossible. That includes if a couple of stars were banged up or injured.
Me and my dad love this movie. My dad grew up in Tennessee, and he used to tell me that pretty much every character in this movie is accurate to somebody he knew in high school, lol
This from a period of about two years when Amy Adams was past 30 and finally getting into A-list movies in supporting roles, but Hollywood still hadn't realized she should be starring in them. Charlie Wilson's War (2007, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts) is another one she was in and it's worth a watch - it's a ridiculous true story about how the U.S. got into Afghanistan to oppose the Soviets in the 80's.
For most absurdly American movie I was going to say Independence Day for the trope of the American military saving the world but then I remembered Mars Attacks which is essentially the absurd comedy version of the same basic concept and you two DEFINITELY should check it out..
The ads on the cars aren't dramatized (Until Ricky sells the windshield to Fig Newton, lmao). But the ads you see on the cars are what you would see if you turned on any NASCAR race today. The sponsors pay BIG bucks to buy space on the vehicle. The larger the space, the more money they contribute. You'll also see vehicles that are completely branded for one particular sponsor with smaller sponsors having small stickers all around the car. Danica Patrick drove a car completely wrapped in a lime green "Go Daddy" logo. There are cars sponsored by Home Depot, Budweiser, Busch, and plenty more companies.
I was in the army with a guy who raced cars, and the meticulous attention to detail they pay to those engines is intense. In his spare time, he would crunch numbers on how to get the most performance out of every drop of fuel, trying to determine the precise amount of fuel to get the best performance versus weight. There is some very serious engineering going on in that sport. I'm going to vote for "The Patriot" as the most American movie you have seen, or maybe "National Lampoon's Vacation".
I live in Texas, I’m 30, and I’ve never met anyone that watched racing so I don’t blame you for not knowing if any famous racers are in this or anything lol. Like none of the men or women in my family watch it or any of my friends or coworkers. I see Football as the American sport, racing is more of a southern thing I guess
Not even remotely an exaggeration of ads on cars and driver's suits. And they can be seen and read quite well on television, or when they're on safety laps.
It's funny that you said "Not Team America" because I literally thought of Team America hahaha. This was probably my favorite movie of all time in high school. It's such a quotable movie! Please watch Blades of Glory. It's another Will Ferrell movie about ice skaters 🤣
12:31 Yep, its fire thats fueled by methanol, which some race cars use as fuel. It burns with a transparent flame. There have been incidents where one caught fire. You can find footage of one on TH-cam, its pretty scary, one crew guy caught aflame and for a long while people couldn't tell he was on fire.
Talladeegah... huh? oh wait.. Canadian.. it's fine..😏 also.. regarding invisible fire.. it's from Methanol fuel. The footage you are thinking of is from the 1981 Indy 500
You guys should check out Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise, it's about Nascar too...John C Riley also in it and Robert Duvall, Nicole Kidman......P.S. I'm not really into Nascar but very good movie
Ferrell and Reilly went on the Larry King Show in character and it was pretty fantastic... They even took calls from real drivers and talked trash to them!!! It's Ricky Bobby and Cal Naughton Jr on Larry King if you want a laugh.
Adam Mckay was the SNL Head Writer when Will Ferrell was on there. Since then they became writing buddies. The scripts they make Will stars in them and Adam Directs. Adam Mckay in order did Anchroman, this, Step Brothers, The Other Guys and Anchorman 2. This one was the only one I didn't really like. The others are Gold. Do those!
24:58 Those cars are not normal driving machines. They’re tuned to racing. Fast starts, faster top speeds, and once the accelerator is pressed, the car is gonna go fast. They’re not exactly street legal, either. They may be called “stock cars,” but the name is misleading, as there’s nothing stock about them. The point I’m trying to make is, unless you’re prepared to go very quickly, and have properly angled track to assist with turning, hitting the start switches is an unsafe, illegal, and all around dumb idea. Push the car to its spot in line, hit the switches, stay in place behind the pace car, and then triple your speed once the race starts. That’s the one formula for stock car racing.
What is wrong with y'all? This is the worst reaction/edit I've ever seen. I've been a subscriber for years and usually love your reactions. Unsubscribed. See ya.
Yes that man that that asked ricky for an autograph is Dale Earnhardt Jr, son of the legendary Dale Earnhardt. The NASCAR announcers, to the one giving Ricky the interview in the beginning, they’re all real nascar team members
Simone is referring to methanol fire and it’s horrifying. Nobody can tell that you’re burning alive, and if they get too close, it spreads to them too.

"I'm on fire" will forever be one of the funniest scene to me and I feel really bad since now I know the horrors of methanol fire. Yet goddamn it it's fricking Will Ferrell begging for various deities to save him I can't help it lmao
NASCAR is known for its oval driving but quietly NASCAR has become of of the most versatile schedules in Motorsports. They still run a lot of ovals, but they run about 7 road courses now, they run a dirt track once a year, they run a quarter mile race inside the LA Coliseum, and they ran their first ever street course on the streets of Chicago this year.
Walk Hard with John C. Reily is just as funny, Jack White, Jonah Hill, lots of cameos.
the guy at the bar who you thought was a driver is IAN ROBERT, one of the founding members of the UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE. The director, Adam Mckay was in the company in the beginning as well.
They should react to episodes from the UCB TV show with Ian Roberts, Amy Poehler, Matt Besser and Matt Walsh from 1998 - Ian is classic in the Ass Pennies sketch..
@@scottstewart5784Just in general, fans of comedy, and especially all these noob fresh casual cinemaphile/reactors, need to know who these people are (Other than Poehler) and see their work and the work of UCB-people. Jack McBrayer is a real-life comedy improv, whether the camera is on or not, he’s hysterical.
No matter what role, Amy Adams goes for it 100%. My current pick for the actor of "how the hell do they not have an Oscar yet?"
"Don't you EVER....fart on my tits again"
THE GUY WHO ASKED FOR RICKY BOBBYS AUTOGRAPH WAS DALE EARNHARDT JR. SON OF LEGENDARY NASCAR DRIVER DALE EARNHARDT SR, WHO TRAGICALLY DIED IN A RACE IN THE FINAL LAP IN 2001 HES WAS ONLY 49 R.I.P. ..LOVED YOUR REACTION TO THIS MOVIE HILARIOUS 😅 I CANT FOR THE SOUTH PARK REACTION
DO IT FOR DALE ❤
That whole "they just drive left" thing is a weird card for dnd people to play. Some people like watching fast cars go left, others like pretending to be wizards in their 30s
You guys should really watch Step Brothers if you haven’t seen it yet! Another Will Farrell movie
Hell yeah, that's an awesome one
Of course! If you like this, you’ll love Step Brothers.
The Karen thing started during the SNL skit with Chadwick Boseman playing T'Challa on Black Jeopordy.
This is one of the few Will Ferrell specific vehicles which I really like.
Since you've already done Dodgeball, I hope eventually Balls of Fury makes it on the channel. :)
Christopher Walken has had such a weird career in the choices of the roles he takes.
Annie Hall
The Deer Hunter
A View to a Kill
Suicide kings
Balls of Fury
@@shawnmiller4781 And soon Dune Part 2!
As someone who had never watched or really come across Nascar before seeing this movie it was a hell of a ride.
On an unrelated note do you guys not normally photoshop the thumbnails?😅
John Oliver once told a story about the most American thing he'd ever seen was Saliors on 4th of July hitting baseballs out of an inflatable batting cage off the deck of an Aircraft carrier into the water where they were being picked up by other sailors on jetskis. You can kind of see his point.
The follow-up to this was Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Such a scathing deconstruction of the oscarbait musical biopic genre's tropes that they stopped making them for a decade.
"Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" should be on your watch list, it another ridiculous comedy like this.
You guys talked through a real subtle, but great character beat that's always stayed with every alcoholic that sees it: when Ricky is reunited with his father in a dingy motel and punches him; Pops Bobby, while holding a beer, hits the bed, rolls to the ground, flips and Pops Bobby springs back up, and without calling any attention to it, continues his sip as before, signifying like any true drunk, he never spills a drop.
Legend.
'Days of Thunder' should be required viewing before Talladega Nights
Save me baby Jesus! Save me Tom Cruise!
I'm throwing a movie suggestion out there: "Miracle", starring Kurt Russell. It's the greatest sports movie ever and is based on a true story about the 1980 U.S.A. hockey team. The pregame locker room speech before the big game is EPIC. You'd have to try and keep as much of it unedited as possible. You won't be disappointed.
That win by the U.S. team is so over-mythologized. The U.S. basically played incredibly dirty and injured some of the Soviets teams biggest stars. And then in the revenge games in '81 Canada Cup and '82 World Championships they lost both of them handily. Someone really should turn that Red Army/Russian Five story into a movie of it's own, probably following Larianov and Fetisov's life stories. Maybe some day when the Russians stop being the absolute worst on the world stage. Ah well.
@johanjarvinen Every team is guilty of playing dirty at some point, and nobody has ever made that claim as far as I know. Even if it is true, that team still had no business beating them. Going from losing 8 or 9 to 1 the week before and beating a machine like that Russian team was should have been nothing short of impossible. That includes if a couple of stars were banged up or injured.
The US team injured Soviet players? Which ones? In which games?
@@johanjarvinenIf you want to talk about dirty games let’s talk about the Soviets colluding refs during the 1972 Olympic basketball gold metal game
@@matthewhetzler4912 Yah, like I said in my post above, that's news to me as well. Maybe just a sore loser?
How dare you. TEAM AMERICA is a national treasure 💯
Me and my dad love this movie. My dad grew up in Tennessee, and he used to tell me that pretty much every character in this movie is accurate to somebody he knew in high school, lol
This from a period of about two years when Amy Adams was past 30 and finally getting into A-list movies in supporting roles, but Hollywood still hadn't realized she should be starring in them. Charlie Wilson's War (2007, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts) is another one she was in and it's worth a watch - it's a ridiculous true story about how the U.S. got into Afghanistan to oppose the Soviets in the 80's.
All his sports movies are gold. This blades of glory, my favorite semi-pro
Fun fact: Jane Lynch (Ricky Bobby's Mom) is only 7 years older than Will Ferrell (Ricky Bobby)
Michael singing in the bloopers making him laugh, is the best part of this movie! R.I.P. ❤
For most absurdly American movie I was going to say Independence Day for the trope of the American military saving the world but then I remembered Mars Attacks which is essentially the absurd comedy version of the same basic concept and you two DEFINITELY should check it out..
Lol a movie so pro America they wanted everyone on earth to celebrate July 4th
0:57 Fun fact: not only is there a colon in the title, there is also one in my body!
Is it still there?
The ads on the cars aren't dramatized (Until Ricky sells the windshield to Fig Newton, lmao). But the ads you see on the cars are what you would see if you turned on any NASCAR race today. The sponsors pay BIG bucks to buy space on the vehicle. The larger the space, the more money they contribute. You'll also see vehicles that are completely branded for one particular sponsor with smaller sponsors having small stickers all around the car. Danica Patrick drove a car completely wrapped in a lime green "Go Daddy" logo. There are cars sponsored by Home Depot, Budweiser, Busch, and plenty more companies.
I was in the army with a guy who raced cars, and the meticulous attention to detail they pay to those engines is intense. In his spare time, he would crunch numbers on how to get the most performance out of every drop of fuel, trying to determine the precise amount of fuel to get the best performance versus weight. There is some very serious engineering going on in that sport. I'm going to vote for "The Patriot" as the most American movie you have seen, or maybe "National Lampoon's Vacation".
I live in Texas, I’m 30, and I’ve never met anyone that watched racing so I don’t blame you for not knowing if any famous racers are in this or anything lol. Like none of the men or women in my family watch it or any of my friends or coworkers. I see Football as the American sport, racing is more of a southern thing I guess
Not even remotely an exaggeration of ads on cars and driver's suits. And they can be seen and read quite well on television, or when they're on safety laps.
Only the wonder bread windshield sticker was exaggerated
Methanol burns invisibly and was used by Indy cars, but they don't use it in NASCAR.
After reacting to this, you MUST react to Days of Thunder. One of my favorite movies.
I just have to point out the mom is Jane Lynch and she owns everything she is in. Watch Rolemodels, gods its good. Great reaction though!
YOUR next wonderful and amazing Will Ferrel Film: STRANGER THAN FICTION! It's a FANTASTIC and underrated gem!!!!!!
My favorite Will Ferrel moo vie
Most American movie: Probably "Rocky 4", because rocky fights a Russian. Second place: "Blue Is the Warmest Color".
@@aerthreepwood8021 Yes...just a little joke.
First!
If you ain't first, you're last.
It's funny that you said "Not Team America" because I literally thought of Team America hahaha.
This was probably my favorite movie of all time in high school. It's such a quotable movie!
Please watch Blades of Glory. It's another Will Ferrell movie about ice skaters 🤣
12:31 Yep, its fire thats fueled by methanol, which some race cars use as fuel. It burns with a transparent flame. There have been incidents where one caught fire. You can find footage of one on TH-cam, its pretty scary, one crew guy caught aflame and for a long while people couldn't tell he was on fire.
That was Dale Earnheart Jr (a former racer and son of the most famous NASCAR diver Dale Earnheart (who passed away racing) 4:54
Carl Edwards a nascar driver crashed at this track almost like the movie in real life and ran to the start finish line because it was the final lap
That thumbnail is nightmare fuel
It usually is!
Talladeegah... huh? oh wait.. Canadian.. it's fine..😏
also.. regarding invisible fire.. it's from Methanol fuel. The footage you are thinking of is from the 1981 Indy 500
The bloopers for this movie are incredible
"What does America taste like?" Hot dogs and gunpowder, probably. I dunno, I'm Australian.
America tastes like a mix of freedom, arrogance... and apple pie
Also, RIP to Michael Clarke Duncan. One of my favorite actors.
You guys should check out Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise, it's about Nascar too...John C Riley also in it and Robert Duvall, Nicole Kidman......P.S. I'm not really into Nascar but very good movie
If you like that movie you should watch Walk Hard the parody of Johnny Cash
Amy Adams's crazy passionate speech was hilarious
Ferrell and Reilly went on the Larry King Show in character and it was pretty fantastic... They even took calls from real drivers and talked trash to them!!!
It's Ricky Bobby and Cal Naughton Jr on Larry King if you want a laugh.
Adam Mckay was the SNL Head Writer when Will Ferrell was on there. Since then they became writing buddies. The scripts they make Will stars in them and Adam Directs. Adam Mckay in order did Anchroman, this, Step Brothers, The Other Guys and Anchorman 2. This one was the only one I didn't really like. The others are Gold. Do those!
john c riley and will ferrell combo is just so amazingly hillarious
33:23 Armageddon. That movie is like American propaganda. It’s supposed to be a disaster film but rewatch it. America.. F yeah
Talladeega Nights
20:23 yes this movie came out before "Karen"
24:58 Those cars are not normal driving machines. They’re tuned to racing. Fast starts, faster top speeds, and once the accelerator is pressed, the car is gonna go fast. They’re not exactly street legal, either. They may be called “stock cars,” but the name is misleading, as there’s nothing stock about them.
The point I’m trying to make is, unless you’re prepared to go very quickly, and have properly angled track to assist with turning, hitting the start switches is an unsafe, illegal, and all around dumb idea. Push the car to its spot in line, hit the switches, stay in place behind the pace car, and then triple your speed once the race starts. That’s the one formula for stock car racing.
What is wrong with y'all? This is the worst reaction/edit I've ever seen. I've been a subscriber for years and usually love your reactions. Unsubscribed. See ya.
Yes that man that that asked ricky for an autograph is Dale Earnhardt Jr, son of the legendary Dale Earnhardt. The NASCAR announcers, to the one giving Ricky the interview in the beginning, they’re all real nascar team members
You should really watch coherence (2013). Great sci-fi movie, it's going to blow your minds.
If you haven’t already you ought to watch ‘Walk Hard’ very much the same style of comedy but cleverer and incredible music.
yes that dude asking for the autograph was Dale Earnhardt Jr. One of the best of all time and especially during that time.
