It would be EXTREMELY difficult for me to picture anyone else as Jim's Dad than Eugene Levy.... He IS that movie.

I give props to the Director & all involved for allowing *LEVY* to improv his lines. That decision & the title choice were key in turning this movie from good to great!!

"This one time, at band camp...." That quote made it hard to tell anyone about marching band memories without thinking bad thoughts.

Let me take you back to the magical year of 1998… I was a senior in high school, 18 years old. Unfortunately, I got caught with my friends’s mother (she was 36). There was some drama at my high school and within our group of friends. Let’s flash forward a year, time has healed most of these wounds, and the group of friends go to the movies and see American Pie. We are crying we’re laughing so hard… until the Finch and Stiffler’s mom scene. It got very quiet and they all turned almost in unison and looked at me.

This brings back so many memories 😂😂😂 I was class of 1999 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

I will always love this movie. An absolute classic.

"OMG she used me, I was used....Cool" my favourite line

Eugene Levy is the perfect dad in those films. Never judges Jim, just loves his pervy son unconditionally.

Class of 2000 here, this movie was such a moment. It was close enough to what we were experiencing to be relatable yet fantastical enough to give escapism.

Love this film. My late older brother took me to see it in the theater. Good memories

That portable stereo that Jim has on his shelf is a Panasonic RX-DT690 and I have had one since 1997. I love when I see things I own used in movies and television.

I think some people in this world need a reality check. American Pie was first and foremost a teenage comedy/drama that was meant to be taken that way. The film was released in 1999 which is hard to believe was 25 years ago, and for people who try to cancel it and want apologies for its content, I would tell them to relax and have some warm apple pie.

Hahaha “this flute tastes a little different” that broke me 😂.

🎵 Psssst, Heyy Minty, that's NOT a flute... it's a recorder!! 😋🎶

Think about this, a job where your told "Go f***k that pie." 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Born in 81, class of 99... my friends and I loved American Pie. It's so weird that it's been 25 years and like the movie, I still remember so many things clearly. One thing that isn't talked about, is how much 99's music you hear in the Soundtrack. Blink 182, Harvey Danger... the music is such a testament to the times also. America Pie wasn't just a movie. It was a testament to the culture at the time. It's crudeness, has always been crude and still is crude in nature. High School kids are loud, obnoxious, sexualized young adults, trying to figure things out and screwing it all up. My own adventures with friends were similar to American Pie. Sexcapades, trying to lose my virginity; with just as many mishaps. The social life of a Senior in High School. I think American Pie could be made today. Just give everyone cell phones to hold, throughout the movie and bam. 2024!

Finch getting his Mrs. Robinson moment, classic 👌. The beginning of the MILF era.

2:15 I’ve BEEN to Yesterdog. As soon as I found out about it I had to try it out. In 2022 I made the pilgrimage. When I got there I ordered 3 chili dogs and a small Ginger Ale. They were some of the best chilidogs I’ve ever had. Also the interior of Yesterdog is similar to Dog Years, only a lot of it is wood paneling and it’s covered by decades of people’s signatures. It’s charming

One of the best movies ever. I remember fondly seeing it with friends and we quoted it so much that the teachers hated us for it. 😂❤

I rented the unrated version when it was newly released to the delight of my younger cousins. Not so delighted was my grandmother, since we watched it at her house.

Bill Murray as the dad would’ve been totally different and probably would’ve had a sub plot that focused on him. I was surprised he only had like 3 lines in the new ghostbusters

Eugene Levy is the goat especially for these kinds of roles! And this movie came out when I was in high school

"13 inches.. AROUND... think about it.." 😂

I was going to be a senior in high school when this came out in the summer of 99. My friends and I loved it as we all related to it. I still love the franchise as I can relate to growing up, going to college, marriage, and reunions.

Absolutely loved (and still do) this movie and the 'original' sequels. Being from Michigan, and graduating from HS around the same time as these movies came out...the local connection was important to us. We knew it wasn't actually 'filmed' here but we still took the connection to heart and it DID feel authentic for the Grand Rapids and Lake Michigan area (for part 2). My two sons are 'almost' old enough for this film, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with them too!

I was at a certain point in my young adulthood when this movie was in the theaters. I had just moved across the country for work, I gained some really great friends and then moved on. I was only three years and I transferred south and so on and so forth. Crazy how time goes by, I can’t believe that was 25 freakin years ago 🤯. The real Time Machine is actually life, it only goes forward and it happens real freakin fast.

The flute bit......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Minty you're hilarious.

We will tell your mom we just ate it😂😂

The next AP should go really bold and call it American Pie: Funeral or American Funeral. The series is about facing life head on, death is a part of this. Plus the odds of getting laid at a friend’s funeral are pretty high.

As KZfaq becomes more and more puritanical, I really appreciate the uncensored casual swearing. Thanks, Minty!

American Wedding was my absolute favorite and Sean William Scott as Stiffler was my favorite character. Reunion was great and I hope they make another installment!!

As a 16 year old in 1999 we had just great coming of age movies like this, Road Trip, Kevin and Perry, which followed awesome childhood movies like Goonies, Stand by Me and others. Makes me wonder if other generations had their movies? I find it hard to believe they were better than ours.

Such a classic movie and truly a "2000's" type.

"It's like banging a tennis ball against a brick wall, which can be fun. It can be fun, but it's not a game."

Doing that with a pie works but it's best if you don't do it fresh out of the oven. Couldn't pee right for a couple of months.

Jim's dad is the goat

The only thing I find disturbing about this film, is how many females I know that had a crush on Stiffler! No wonder they all grew up to chose a bear.

I still miss Shannon Elizabeth 😆

This is my generation's Dazed and Confused, extremely accurate portrayal of what was going on (except for the pie.)

Love ya Minty! Your closing statement is right on: "It's just a movie." People need to lighten up. Pretty easy: If this movie isn't your cup of tea, don't watch it. Thank you to you and your everyone on your crew!

I love the popcorn scene after the credits of American Reunion 🤣

The scene with Nania striping for Jim while the Webcam broadcast to the whole school was hilarious. Michelle, Stifler and Finch were my favorite characters.

This movie came out just the right time for me in 1999 when I started my senior year of high school. It was like, these are characters that are my age. That's why the first and Reunion are my favorites. Several movie posters, new and old, would even copy the American Pie logo like Revenge of the Nerds 2 in order to cash in on the popularity of this movie as if to say, "If you like American Pie, watch this movie."

I love them. I find them absolutely hilarious even now

The sequel should have been called "American Pie: à la mode"

I was 16 in 1999. Saw it in theaters and had it on vhs

I was class of 2000, and even today when I watch these movies, it brings back so many memories of my buddies and I back then. That was us in every way.

Thanks for playing laid by James. Id forgotten bout that one. Also, I grew up in East Grand rapids , and and yep. Ppl were screwing cantaloupe and doing teachers and college people. Bandcamp was just a hookup. If anything this movie was tame, but they got the parents stuff right. Everybody's folks were nice and just let us chill. Most of us turned out ok, the half that are left

Don't get it twisted, Bill Murray is a cinematic legend! Ghostbusters, What about Bob, Osmosis Jones, ect.... he has a great IMDB resume! But I think he was just too Big for this movie. He likely would've overshadowed all the other more unknown actors. Levy was the better fit😂

Stifler is an absolute LEGEND lol😂

This one time, at band camp

Stiffler's Mom!!

The sound tracks were always pretty good, particularly the second film.

By far one of my favorite movies growing up. I saw part one the day before part 2 came out because all my friends were going to see part 2 in the theater and found out I had not seen part one yet lol

Here's my personal take, in 1999 I had the most traumatic break-up of my life and thought I'd never smile again. I went to see Pie in a half empty screen by myself and broke y shit laughing throughout the whole thing, I'm an 80's child and it was great to see the sex comedies of the 80's live again, but with great characters and a lot of heart. I will probably be buried with this film, and I thank everyone involved with it for getting me through a bad time.

OMG ... I finally finished watching every single vid on your channel!!!

Shit brick losing it in the women's bathroom has to be the funniest scene I've ever seen. You can even see Eddie Kaye Thomas trying to hold back his own laughter while on the thrown.

I just bought the blu ray of the 4 theatrical releases a few months ago.... always enjoyed all of them

As a Michigander - YESTERDOG!!! still open, now a little expensive for a hotdog but a a Grand Rapids tradition none the less.

I was about to start my sophomore year of high school when this movie came out. Good times, great memories!

One of the greatest comedies off all time. I’m in my 40’s and I still love it

I love how you’re playing late 90’s songs as you go through the 10 things we didn’t know about American Pie, really takes me back.

Chinese chicken.

I like all 4 American Pie movies. I never seen any other those spin offs tho. Didn't know Eugene Levy was in them.

I’ll always have a spot in my heart for the series. It was part of me growing up. Reminded me so much of my teenage years. Love the series

I grew up in the 80's & 90"s & this movie along with the other teen flicks help make my teen year memories more fun. But I feel the biggest teen movie then was Varsity Blues. Minty PLEASE DO VARSITY BLUES!!

This movie was and is still one of my go to when I feel down and wanna remember my good old teenage years.

Minty you had me at "this flute tastes different" haha

I was 8 when I watched this in the theater, I didn't get any of the jokes but the audience was laughing like crazy lol

Classic!! I was in high school when this came out and working at a movie theater. This movie was huge and we all got that sweet pie 🥧 great video!!

Last American Virgin was big inspiration

My daughter always says in conversation with us “this one time” and myself and my mrs always follow up with “at band camp” and she’s never see the movie haha. It’s a classic and I love it.

I remember going to see American Pie at the cinema with a group of friends. It was completely packed! None of us knew what to expect, and we didn't stop laughing from start to finish. Also, the cinematic version had Jim standing with the pie, while the home video "unrated" version was him on top of it. Not sure what the other changes were, though I seem to recall both showed the destroyed pie aftermath.

That intro cracked me up! This is what he does - been doing it so long he's starting to lose his mind, crazy Minty! 🤣

Your flute jokes are cracking me up 😂

I loved American Reunion...I graduated from high-school in 99, so it hit home🤙

East Grand Rapids is where all the mean people in 80’s teen movies ended up.

Another point it was one of the films that helped boost blink 182 into the major band of the 00s they became. Not only did they cameo in the film the sound track featured their music.

As this Movie was a Fake Raunchy comedy for some reason it hits home. And it’s even better now to go back and watch these films.

American Pie is easily one of the best series of comedy movies (not including the spinoffs)! The first one is a timeless classic with a great cast, soundtrack, quoutable lines and even an appearance by Blink-182! The other three are great too but out of the four, the 1st one will always remain my favourite!

Ahh, this movie… 1999, my first year of uni… I was doing a music degree and I was there for classical flute. I thought it would be a great idea for me and all my new uni buddies to go out and see this new movie everyone was raving about… /sigh. All through the movie, they kept teasing me for how similar to Michelle I was… and then she said it. She said that one line that has been plaguing flautists for 25 years. I wanted to crawl under the seat and die!! Even now “oh, you’re a musician? What do you play?” “Flute” “This one time, at band camp…” “Haven’t heard that before…” That being said, I did love and still guiltily enjoy these movies (not including the direct to video ones). They’re a bit of fun.

I loved this series, I even had a few of the other ones as well. But the American pie ones with the og cast were the best. I'd love to see a new one with all the og cast to see what they are upto now.

One of the best franchises in cinematic history (excluding the spin offs). Harmless, outlandish fun, and totally relatable. At 46 years, these have still been my go-to's. Wedding is my personal favourite.

We need a 10 things we didn't know about Minty

Is that your kitty cat????? So cute!!!!! And you know that in the US our flute is different than the one you have. Ours has a lot more....um keys...LOL! And it's played horizontal not vertical so it's just different LOL! And yes, I went to band camp for four years and had a friend that was a flautist (what a flute player is called)- but we never used our horns "after hours" LOL! But you have a really cute kitty!!!

My all time favorite... a true classic... totally quotable........................ never seen it

The say American Pie 5 will be about a vaction in Las Vegas with Jim and the crew getting into trouble. So imagine it will be something like the Hamgover but with the American Pie cast.

This was a great movie. I can’t think that all the actors were right. The best dad ever. Everybody was cast, right. Love this movie to the day I die. And forgot to say great sound track.

American Pie was brillaint. Made at a time when the western working class were thriving and that shows. Would love to see movies like this return. Our culture needs it.

The title is also a play on words. There is a metaphor in the US to describe something that is very “American” by stating that “_______ is as American as apple pie.” ***BONUS*** In the US the green plaid wallpaper design in Jim’s room is now officially named “American Pie.”

Nice one, Minty. 🥧

Man, this one brought back the memories. I saw this in theatres when I was 18. Bought the VHS when it came out and bought the CD (Movie Soundtrack) when it realeased. I still have the CD.

The late 90s to mid 2000s was such a magical and unique time to be a teen. The music and movie scene were on fire. I absolutely love the original 4 American Pie films, I have to watch them every year with my favorite drink at my side. It sucks that those movies and so many others will never get the love they deserve and a 4K upgrade because our feminist overlords refuse to allow our society to have a sense of humor...

Love these movies...I still say "This one time, at band camp" all the time 😂

When this movie first came out in 1999, Thomas Ian Nicholas who played Kevin was the only cast member who I knew. Because he was a child actor in films like “Rookie of the Year” and “A Kid in King Arthur’s Court”

This one time at band camp, Michelle stuck a flute in her MEOW, damn cat move...in where? oh i forgot.

This movie was just fantastic. Right movie, right time, right cast. The music, the humor, the atmosphere. This is a classic for sure!

One of the rauchy comedies of all time, cool video as always Minty, you take care and have a nice day sir

"I sure hope Will Smith didn't slap anyone" Thank you

The characters in this movie were what sold it for me when I first watched this in theaters. I knew some one from my High School that represented every character in that movie. And people truly need to take a chill pill. Movies , comedy, games, music, books whatever, are entertainment. And need to be treated as such. Since when did all of our entertainment turn into work?
