The day before this hit theaters, Dice went on "Arsenio" to promote it. He talked about the conflict between his real self and his Dice persona, and starting tearing up before composing himself. It didn't go over well.

What people forget about Mel Brook’s style of comedy is that the racist, the snob or the overall douchebag is not the hero, their the punchline. They are the ones being made fun of and mocked.

SO SO happy you called out the greatness of “Josie and the Pussycats”! I JUST rewatched that movie and it is f’ing amazing! The layers of subtlety underneath the loud cheesiness of the 90s and the internal commenting ON the cheesiness and everything else... god damn was that good. Way better than I remembered and WAY worth recommending. So Thank You! 😁

In Spain this movie earned a great cult following. Probably because the dubbing localized almost all the jokes.

These obscure movies are surprisingly funny to see be reviewed. Keep it up Smeg.

"The koala doesn't actually do anything." Koalas sleep 20 hours a day.

I was about to go to sleep, but when I saw this popped up I was like nope! Not gonna sleep now

The journey of review The Worst Picture Winners continues. Starring Smeghead

Bands at the time made like 30 cents on every ten dollar album they sold. They made their big dough touring and selling merch. 'Running with the Devil' a book written by Van Halen's former tour manager breaks it down pretty good. Highly recommended.

I'm thinking that the idea of Dice as a character is that you're supposed to laugh at him more than with him.

I look forward to the review of Hudson Hawk. A movie so bad, it can't basic math.

OW! WHAT DID YOU GO AND DO THAT FOR?! I HAD SEEN BLAZING SADDLES!

11:46-11:52 Pretty sure that was a jab at the Nostalgia Critic.

Andrew Dice Clay. Aka, why it's dangerous for a comedian to be a one-trick pony.

Now I know where Carmine Pasquale from Mobsters and Mormons got the "OH!" from. By the way, the way you explained the humor behind the "Up yours" scene from Blazing Saddles was awesome. Funny story: my family and I hate racism and 99.99% of racist jokes. My dad has a Gary Larson-ish sense of humor (but no tolerance for dirty jokes)... but he, my mom and I thought the "Up yours" part was hilarious because of the context, reaction, and consequence.

It may be just a coincidence that Smiley just cannot be killed and keeps coming back because he's played by Robert Englund who is also known for playing Freddy Krueger who is a killer who always comes back to go after the teens of Springwood, but yeah, I just think it was deliberate. Although Ford Fairlane was also directed by Renny Harlin who also directed Nightmare On Elm Street 4: Dream Master.

This was a movie for the MTV Generation. It came out when I was 21. It was hilarious then. Everyone within a 10 year sweep of my age thought it was hilarious. We still think it's hilarious. It's like when Hair Metal dominated music, if you are older than that era or younger than that era, you just don't get that era.

Thanks for praising and defending Blazing Saddles! It’s one of my favorite movies!

Totally with you on the Blazing saddles bit, I wish we could as a culture make such movies today

Dice's best work was "The Day the Laughter Died". Dice decided "Fuck it, I'm gonna go up there and BOMB for a straight hour". That was a legitimately funny album, but the nursery rhyme shtick, never gave a damn about it.

Renny Harlin also did Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, and the Long Kiss Goodnight.

Anyone who reps Josie and the pussycats gets a like from me.

At least Andrew Dice Clay was good in A Star Is Born (2018).

I have been waiting for this, dude. THANK YOU

This movie doesn't deserve Robert England and Ed O' Neil.

Great movie. Many funny one-liners. Gets funnier every time I watch. "Have a Twinkie...snapperhead!" "Suzuki Samaria...you Bensonhurst piece of $#*%" "My mother always said...If you can't say something nice about someone, make sure they're out of the g**d*** room" LOL!

Dice was virtually unknown outside of the US in those pre internet/Netflix days. In such markets the movie came with a lot less baggage. I saw it on VHS back in the day and thought it was pretty funny.

i like your pacing in this video. i think it was a good choice to place much less of those lingering awkward pauses in your commentary. keep up the good work!

I need to go to bed tonight so I can pass this test, but there’s a new episode of Cinematic Excrement. So.....

I'll be honest, this movie is one of my guilty pleasure films.

Andrew Dice Clay is a greaser. The leather jacket, tight pants, slicked back hair. He's a fifties greaser.

I agree that Josie and the Pussycats is extremely underrated!

This has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. I like the characters and the setting. To answer your question about how Julian was making money ripping his company off, I believe record companies have to pay royalties to bands for every record, cd, and cassette they sell to record stores in the 90’s. This is probably documented when the discs are manufactured at their factory. However, if he could make copies in another location, and sell them on the street, he wouldn’t have to share the profits with the bands, and could keep all the money for himself.

You didn’t even mention the fact that this movie became very popular in Post-Communist Hungary because it was dubbed by a famous eccentric Hungarian musician and actor who added in much more profanity then what was in the English version. It’s still popular over there to this day.

I wonder if Andrew Dice Clay has ever heard of this quote from Mae West. “I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it.”

To your speech about being PC and having standards 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The statement about PC and cancel culture not being new? Thanks for that. I keep trying to tell people.

Your critique of Dice is fair but I've always loved this movie and quote it often (not always a good idea). I assume Hudson Hawk is next? That film was so ahead of it's time and like Ford; hardly the worst of it's year. The worst of 91 should be Another You.

I’m on that Josie and the Pussycats Hill right with you! Vastly underrated. An amazing Pastiche!

Racism and homophobia hahaha funny story, Mark. I don't get why people think comedy is supposed to offend and people. Comedy is supposed to be FUNNY. That's the most important part, guys.

I saw Ford Fairlane in the theater when it came out. The movie is definitely a product of its time, especially since it starred Dice Clay at the height of his comedy career. However, we didn't see the movie as a comedy, and that might have been what the director was going for. It had its funny moments, and plenty of forced-comedy, but overall the film was more of a crime drama. As the audience, we all knew about Dice Clay and his humor, so this "dramatic" version of the Dice character was a welcome change at the time. He was still The Dice Man, but was playing an interesting character, a private detective. Also, he drove a cool car with an awesome convertible top, an in-dash CD player (which was basically science fiction at the time), and featured CD ROMs which most of us had never seen before. Looking back, Ford Fairlane is cheesy as hell and is overall pretty bad, but in its time it was an enjoyable film for Dice fans, I suppose.

"none of this makes any sense!" aka a good sign that a movie will end up on this channel!

Used to love this movie. Never understood why it did not do better.

Dear Mr Head I have just recently discovered your channel and have been binging out ever since . Keep up the great work . My greatest fear is that Hollywood will stop turning out sewerage and you will be out of a job. Nah , never happen !

Man, every time an episode of this comes out I become profoundly happy - not just because they're always great, but because I know that every episode is bringing Smeghead closer to modern dreck like Freddy Got Fingered and Holmes and Watson and The Emoji Movie, which I honestly think he's going to hate even more than this early stuff.

This movie will always rule! It's so funny and endlessly quotable. I love this movie... I've always loved this movie! 😂😂😂 Plus... Morris Day and Wayne Newton! Enough said! 💙

you are right. there has always been sensors there was with the hays/comics code for the movies and comics industries, every broadcast network has a standards and practices dept. even the MPAA is a sensor of sorts

I think rapid success can trap a comedian. Like, you don't have a very developed routine, and you go out there and say a bunch of trashy stuff, and overnight you're huge - what do you do? Changing it up becomes a risk; playing gross racist keeps the jack rolling in.

"555? Is that a real number?" "What? ya think this is real life?!" Love that line.

Can I just applaud, like, everything about your commentary on Dice and his act?

I remember being 16 years old and seeing Ford Fairlane in the theater during the summer of 1990! I liked it enough back then, but I couldn't help being a bit disappointed. Now, I liked Dice, thought he was hysterical doing stand up and a good actor, too, who gave a great performance in a little seen film called Casual Sex. It's just too bad Ford Fairlane wasn't the rock 'n roll comedy it should have been. It was played far too broadly, far too cartoonishly for it to really succeed, though. It needed someone like Elmore Leonard writing the script. In fact, Get Shorty is the perfect example of how Ford Fairlane should have been played.

Great film, and ‘The Day the Laughter Died’ is beyond comedy. It’s art.

Keep up the good work. I really like the way you critique and have a sarcastic sense of humor great thanks a lot for everything

I'm a little late to the party but the "Little Miss Muffet" skit was done by Funkadelic ten years earlier in a song. He's also a thief.

In the 90’s I won front row tickets from a radio station to one of his shows . My girlfriend at the time refused to go because was terrified he would start talking to her and make fun of her . She was probably right as she did look at the time like a stereotypical female that he would’ve attacked. I told her that would be great if he called on you. Maybe we could be in his next recording. I didn’t go 😢😢😢

I've watched quite a few of your videos now and what you said on this one was one of the best things I've heard so far. When you said, "the only way I can be offended by a joke is if it isn't funny. " I like that so much! I agree a hundred percent and with your permission hopefully I'm going to use that quote 😉

You had me at “Blazing Saddles” 👍

I don't know how I only first found your channel yesterday.

Your arguments become weakened when you have to resort to acting as a mocking caricature of your opponent when explaining an alternate viewpoint.

Honestly, it is telling that George Carlin, another person who they claim is anti-PC, actually came out against Dice back in the day for the stuff Sean talks about.

Wayne Newton? Didn't he also have a small role in Licence to Kill? I'm gonna say the same thing I said about Joe Don Baker in Leonard Part 6: don't remind me of the Timothy Dalton Bond movies because they're both infinitely better than any movie Sean will ever review in this series.

LOL! I almost forgot about Dice! Well done again, Broski! You deserve all of the cookies! 🍪

I would not mind a legacy sequel to this movie with Andrew Dice Clay

Hey sean what are you going to do for the ten year anniversary?

Josie and the Pussycats was an interesting film to me. I liked how it poked fun of pop music and how quickly stars fade

11:31-11:36 - Renny Harlin also gave us Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger and The Long Kiss Goodnight - all pretty good movies. Heck, I even enjoyed Deep Blue Sea.

Renny Harlin also directed NoElmSt. 4. Hence that Freddy crossover.

This movie is a farce akin to "Freddy Got Fingered." It's self-aware, and if one just calms down, it's hilarious.

As an explanation about why some people find his "I'm a bigoted shite" act funny: if being on the internet since the early days of KZfaq has taught me anything, it's that there are a LOOOOOOOOOOOT of people who think being a bigoted shite is, in and of itself, funny. And a lot of them will act like you're a humourless moron for not agreeing.

The Adventures of Ford Fairlane...trash gold.

I was a big fan of Dice growing up. I actually like Ford Fairlane better than Josie and the Pussycats.

Great Job!!! Just amazing video

What’s worse for Billy Idol? The motorcycle accident, being in this movie, or the fact that (after he recovered from said accident) he released Cyberpunk, an album so bad he imploded into self-parody.

Regarding his comedy, you either love it or hate it. I absolutely loved it. The Dangerfield's set took place when I was in my senior year of highschool. He just exuded the most extreme version of the NYC IDGAF attitude. Having said all that, I only saw this movie once. Wasn't a movie I felt obligated to rewatch. Lol. When he cried on Arsenio the night before this flick premiered, that one moment ended his career. Took the edge off of his persona which was the hook of his come up

Thank you for saying anti-wokes try to deceive us with all this "nowadays/GenZ" ranting. OMG! Star Trek TNG had men in dresses 35 years ago. Lol.

I don’t think it was mentioned in either review, but what’s your opinion on which was worse between Fant4stic and Fifty Shades of Grey?

Since this was supposed to be uploaded last month, will there be another review this month?

Is this really the worst film of all time? No, because that dishonour goes to Samurai Cop 2 (cheers OSW Review). You see, this is still a competent film, because it at the very least has a plot that it gets across, and has a beginning, middle, and end, and some kind of character arc for Ford.

Finally! People act as if SJWs were the only ones to whine and censor shit in our current timeline. I was born in 1983 in a Conservative house there's a shit ton of thing that I wasn't allowed to even know EXISTED until I reached majority! (It didnt always worked but y'know, they tried really hard)

subtle humor like he's falling off that building"my hair,my hair?

You’re PC too, bruh? Yeah! I’m PC U-Mass! Dude, sweet! I’m PC Texas A&M! 😂

I love this movie. Total guilty pleasure.

This is an awesome movie, and a cult classic. Not only that, but Lauren Holly looks smokin' hot in it.

He did an episode of MASH back in the late 70s IIRC.

The problem is that Social Media gives everyone a "microphone". The bigger the mouth the fame you get!

8:22 might be the most surreal thing I've seen all week, and the week's not even close to over yet...

RICHARD PRYOR CO-WROTE BLAZING SADDLES AND I DIDN'T KNOW TILL I WATCHED THIS VIDEO! HOW COULD I BE SUCH A GIANT MORON? Also Koala's aren't bear's. You were doing so well up till that point.

I find the Soundtrack for Josie and the Pussycats movie was and still is criminally underrated. God Bless you Kay Hanley.

Morris Day and the Time = Jay and Silent Bob's favorite band.

The only difference between Sam Kinison and Dice is that Kinison screamed his lines all the time. And I LIKED Kinison. More or less....

Now I want to see you review Rover Dangerfield. :'D

You know what would've been better? The koala was a recovering drug addict that Fairlane had taken in out of kindness, showing that he was a deep down good guy, and making the death of the koala more emotionally tragic and also comedic - because you can show his 30 day clean chip from NA, which is also kind of a joke - and it fits the more adult tone of the film. Same thing with the kid sidekick - cut it or make it a bit darker and more ridiculous. Doesn't seem like they were able to commit one way or the other. Vulgar, dark, or wacky comedy, pick one.

Another example on how stupid people think PC and cancel culture is a recent phenomenon is Blazing Saddles. That movie almost didn't get made because the studio thought it would be considered too racist because of how many times the n word is said. And that movie was made in the 70's

Wow, an episode released on my birthday....that I only watched the day after. Oh well, still nice.

Do you think the joke with Englund's character not staying dead is a reference to how Freddy Kreuger never stays dead?

Dice was entertaining for about a year after he first hit the seen, and after you got used to the shock and offensiveness his act lost it's funny.

Okay 🎲 👨 kicks ass!! I 😍 this kind of comedy. My only complaint is there was no sequel.

OMFG!!! Picture me, a kid in the eighties, watching the televised version of Blazing Saddles on Sacramento’s Channel 40. They did the standard thing of adding deleted scenes (trying to defeat Mongo multiple times and the governor showing up at the end) and dubbing over swear words. But would you believe… the scene at 5:59 in this video where the old lady responds, “Up yours, n-word!” THEY DUBBED “Up Yours” WITH “Outta my way!” AND KEPT THE N-WORD INTACT!!!!!!! So the televised version was too proper to have an old woman say “Up yours” but not afraid to have her blurt out the n-word! Lord have mercy! 😳😱😜🤪

I was confused at first (though I agree completely with your assessment of his comedic chops), until I remembered that the Dice movie I saw was "Brainsmasher," in which I though he was really good, and which I thoroughly enjoyed-- as I remember it decades later. Gee. I hope it's still good. :/

The Pussification of America is real. There is no freaking way that "Blazing Saddles" could be rebooted today and be as good as the original. Even if it were made by an independent studio, it would receive an NC-17 rating, at best.
