A future where people are afraid of touching each other and no toilet paper. Oh man

I met Rob Schneider at the Laugh Factory in LA a couple months ago and asked him about the sea shells. His reply: "They still haven't told me."

"Is it a comedy? Is it an action film? Is it smart commentary? Is it dumb Violence?" only valid answer: Yes.

I actually like that Spartan's advice at the end is "well, you'll figure it out". He is encouraging them to learn to think by themselves instead of listening to a figurehead.

I lost my shit when the little girl said "Fuck You" to that reporter. My God, movies back then were epic.

Reporter: "What can you say about destroying a 7 million dollar mall for a girl who's ransom is only $24,000?" Little Girl: "Fuck You Lady!!!!" Best line ever

At this time with everyone buying all the damn toilet paper, I too would like to know how to use the 3 seashells.

"So I can't eat chicken or steak, I can swear, I can't even have physical sex with anyone?" "Yes" "PUT ME BACK IN THE FREEZER!!"

He "outlawed all crime"...? Who knew that all we had to do to achieve world peace was to just make crime illegal?

But Stallone can’t break the law because... HE IS THE LAAAWW!

I always thought that the three shells were really just buttons that initiated different kinds of cleaning procedures for one's rear end like rinse, deep clean and quick cleaning

The “I dunno, you’ll figure it out” is pretty inline with the character. He’s a a tough-guy cop from 1996 that has no damn idea how this failed-utopia came about, what diplomacy could he give than to tell the authoritarian “lighten up” and the anarchist “take a shower”?

I found the answer from Stallone and the writer himself in an interview! Q: For the love of all that is good and Holy. How do you use the 3 seashells?! A: OK, this may be bordering on the grotesque, but the way it was explained to me by the writer is you hold two seashells like chopsticks, pull gently and scrape what's left with the third. You asked for it... Be careful what you ask for, sorry.

He disguises himself as Dennis Rodman the menace 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I literally spit soda everywhere

4:38 I am appalled that I’ve seen nobody talk about Malcolm’s gestures here. They are absolutely perfect and so fucking hilarious.

This is honestly one of Doug’s best reviews ever.

"But he didn't say 'Would you kindly' " Love it :D

"Fuck you lady!" Best line in the movie, and also the most relatable line in the movie as well.

Ironically Taco Bell is the only restaurant and there’s no toilet paper in this future

Me in 2009: "Wow this movie is dumb..." Me in 2019: ".......This movie is kinda terrifying."

Funny how Pizza hut won the franchise wars in the european version.

"Is it a comedy, is it an action film, is it smart commentary, is it dumb violence?" It's the proof none of the above is mutually exclusive.

Congratulations, In Cyberpunk 2077, protagonists toilet is equipped with 3 seashells and no toilet paper... the legend lives on

Demolition Man is a satire masquerading as an action movie in a similar vein to the first Robocop movie or Paul Verhooven's other satire action piece "Starship Troopers". The gag about Schwarzenegger in the movie was repaid in Last Action Hero where Stallone was pictured as the Terminator. None of the films mentioned are the most subtle of satirical films which is why I always wondered why people struggled to see what they were.

I always thought the three sea shells were buttons to activiate a bidet, wipe and air drier.

Demolition Man and Idiocracy are a perfect pairing of social commentary on today's world.

The timeline of the future, as predicted by movies: Demolition Man, Mad Max, Judge Dredd, Starship Troopers.

As I said, there is an example of one of my favorite TV Tropes in this film, the trope in question being "Even Evil Has Standards." Simon Phoenix, in spite of how psychotic, sadistic, sociopathic and just plain evil he is, despises Cocteau _vehemently._ From things like Cocteau's belief that free will is a pox to how he turned California into an overly sensitive, restrictive state, it is quite clear that if Simon Phoenix was able to, he'd *gladly* shoot the bastard dead himself. How I see it: Though Cocteau see's Simon as a justified means to his diabolic end, Simon Phoenix is at least straight about his villainous life. He wears it like a badge of pride. And he despises Cocteau because he's a lying, vile hypocrite who wants to squash free will and freedom of choice. As Simon Phoenix says: "You can't take away peoples rights to be assholes."

I TRULY UNDERSTAND THE THREE SEASHELLS!!! It's NOT the shells themselves! It's what's underneath them! Under each shell is a jet. The first jet is water. The 2nd is soap for both the ass and vag/balls. And the 3rd one is a vacuum to vacuum away and dry the area! I'VE FIGURED IT OUT!!!

So... This movie is dated... But also ahead of it's time..? WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!?

I know everyone's been making "welcome to current year" jokes ever since this came out, but it's really never been funnier than spring of 2020. We're literally afraid to touch each other and nobody has toilet paper. It's perfect!

20:43 *Catched isn’t a word. You were looking for the word caught*

I always thought, that the sea shells were just fancy buttons. You know, for those fancy ass showers. One button for cleaning, one for desinfecting and the last for drying.

if they made things that are bad for you illegal......why do they have taco bell?

I had this movie on Laserdisc. Imagine the added joy I get when Huxley exclaims “you’re even better in real life than Laserdisc”. The circle is complete.

Didn't even cover my favorite line... "Give me a gun. Give me TWO guns."

Breaking the law. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWGH

HEY I resent that joke about LA in 1996 We looked like that in 1997

Did Huxley predicted covid-19 when she was telling spartan about all the diceases that made it illegal to touch other people?

LMAO. I've watched this several since it's come out. Just now realized it.. "HE DIDN'T PAY HIS TAXES!"

Sandra Bullock in the 90's...... what a hottie

"Christ, I woke up in Canada!" Why does that make me laugh so much?

I want to go back to work yelling “MAN” to every guy I work with. 😂

Raymond Cocteau = SJWs Simon Phoenix = Internet Trolls John Spartan = Everyone Else

Funny thing. Sandra Bullock's character was originally meant to be Stallone's daughter, all grown-up.

and ironically years later, Schwarzenegger became the governor of california

13:39 is another prediction made by this movie even though it was a joke. In 2017, the REACT channel uploaded a video titled "Do College Kids Know 80s Action Movies?", in which people are shown posters w/ the titles removed. One of the reactors then said the following about The Terminator: "What? This is Arnold Schwarzenegger..... the governor. I don't know this movie, and I didn't know he acted." Let that sink in for a moment.

"I've seen the future, you know what it is it's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around is his face pajama's drinking a banana broccoli shake singing I'm an Oscar Mayer wiener" - A Friendly guy

"That's right, he had it made! Then he.... had his maid, and was all downhill from there." Zing.

"PHOENIX!"

"Nothing spicy"?? I've got a bottle of Carolina Reaper sauce in my fridge and I'll clutch it til death like an Alabaman and their AR-15!

We're LIVING in the Demolition Man prequel.

The Franchise Wars were a dreadful time that left millions dead and millions more homeless. It all started when Wendy's started calling out McDonalds for their frozen hamburger meat, which began a small proxy war in South America for some reason. Then Burger King got involved and sent his legions of Patty Flippers into Spain for... some reason. Then KFC launched a nuke at Zimbabwe for reasons beyond comprehension. The war continued from there, with fronts being created in Africa, Europe, and Central America as the warring parties struggled for control. It all ended when Taco Bell built the Death Star and blew up Mars, the headquarters for McDonalds. Upon realizing this, the other factions backed down, and Taco Bell reigned supreme over the world's fast food. In celebration of this day, every holiday was replaced with Taco Day, which is on every Tuesday...

"I love you!" "I was frozen toda-!" Dying!

“Look, you can’t take away people’s right to be assholes.” An underrated quote that brings up a very good point as that’s what Cocteau as he plans to make slaves out of everyone under his utopia.

"I'm sorry to say that the world has changed to a sad Brady Bunch version of itself"... Truer words have never been spoken

A future where Taco Bell is the only restaurant? Fuck that!

That moment wen you realize Demolition Man predicted the future

“Fuck you, Lady!” Forever best line in cinematic history.

Some dude: What seems to be your boggle? :))) Phoenix: My boggle? *looks disgusted, still looking disgusted* His mind: Christ I woke up in Canada Hands down the funniest bit of the movie

rob schnider: HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE THREE SEASHELLS Me: NO DUH HE WAS JUST THAWED OUT SO HE WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT

But he didn't say 'Would you kindly' " :D

Holy fuck, this is one of those movies that just...KEEPS. GETTING. MORE. RELEVANT. Like, does whoever made it saw into the future how the internet landscape would be?

No matter how much I watch this the ending still kills me 💀 "The world will call you a hero, I'll marry you & mooch off your money!" 😂😂

According to Sly Stallone... Tamara was dead on the money.

I love this movie. it's funny, stupid and cool at the same time. I believe my favorite line was "we're police officers. we're not trained to handle this kind of violence"

Nearly after 30 years, we are still getting easter eggs and reference to these bloody seashells, just played cyberpunk 2077 the other day, went inside V's bathroom and saw the god damn 3 seashells sitting there.

Wait a minute John Spartan. John... John 117. Spartan... spartan armor.

to clarify the three seashells are buttons on a combination toilet bidet. one rinses one flushes one dries. the reference was made to confuse americans because we simply never use bidets and to my knowledge there is not one that combines both currently but in a future world where water reduction and recycling is in high demand it makes perfect sense to combine the two.

I've just come across this channel and this guy is mental! Keep it up.

*2023 And Yep..* *this still holds up*

You know what? This movie is actually pretty good. I know nostalgia critic reviews bad movies, but this is an exception. Demolition Man is really good.

3 sea shells, they are actually just covering 3 buttons, one you push to flush number 1, one you push to flush number 2 and one you push to get a baday (spell?) spray wash. my theory when I was young anyway

"I shall marry you & mouch off your money!" 😂😂

OK, the three seashells is straightforward. They are controls for the Bidet. One Spritzes the back, the other the front with less pressure, and the third activates the dryer in the seat. The fact that this is still a question *even after Sandra Bullock said as much in an article* is beyond me.

I'm with the critic on this one. I want to see a franchise war movie because that just looks freaking awesome and hilarious!

Kinda disappointed he didn't go with Wo-MEH-YAN! for Sigourney Weaver's.

Critic: The above ground world is Tumblr, the underground is 4chan. Today: Tumblr is dead and 4chan reigns supreme, influencing global politics more powerfully than the media... This movie was a divine inspiration... either that or somebody did actually manage to turn a Dolorian into a time machine...

2020 the great seashell shortage during the pandemic

Denis Leary as the leader of the resistance is brilliant casting. Of course he would be the leader of the 4chan to their tumblr.

Ah yes, the _Last_ _Airbender_ Disaster of 2010. As one of the many lucky survivors, I still get nightmares about that day. A lot of people died. How many didn't have to?

Thank you Doug Walker. This is absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time. It's the flick that inspired me to become an actor. I loved how he knew what had to be done.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO I had to pause it because I couldn't stop laughing at Malcolm's Snipes impression OMG. I still love Demolition Man

Hey! We can totally take a joke! Now take that back or I'll spin the wheel of Internet threats.

In the international version, Taco Bell was replaced by Pizza Hut, as sit was thought that PH was more internationally known. All Taco Bell logos were digitally replaced by the Hut.

I always wondered how they would breath in that foam. It would make me crazy panicky and claustrophobic!

What if this was a prequel to judge dredd

The franchise wars are the comments section of KZfaq on every video about DC and marvel.

5:06 "He didn't pay his taxes!"

Thank you for the final 3 sea shell sequence; it was life affirming.

I've never seen this movie but it looks fucking brilliant

"If anything bad for you is illegal, what's Rob Schneider doing in this movie?" LITERAL LOL. "When Malcolm was asked how he achieved such feats, he replied 'I'm really not sure" ...especially when, in the film (and a clip you actually included in your very own review) it was clearly stated that the residents of the future in the movie made fun of the primitive notion of people using toilet paper in any way, so Malcolm's so-called theory for the shells falls on it's proverbial face...

Great movie Here in Australia the taco bell scene was changed to pizza hut but yeah still a great movie

Dude when NC says the penis game my mind immediately went to my high school physics class My teacher hated us so much lol

“It’s like a domino set you don’t fully knock down... NEXT TO A BOMB!” That escalated quickly

Demolition Man is one of my favorites I remember being 11 years old seeing this movie theater. Watching it now at 33 years old and a big comic book fan this is totally Batman and Robin remixed. Wesley Snipes in my opinion plays "the Joker"better than anyone ever has watch this movie and you'll see what I mean. Stallone is like a more hardcore "Batman" haha and even Bullock is like "robin"

oh god, 'I was frozen today!' such a legendary old joke from NC

It was priceless that Tara Chambers portraying a judge with that wig hearing the Phoenix character testifying against Spartan on the deaths of hostages. I'm just curious how she reacted to this movie when first seeing it. The ending of this review to0 funny...

Wait, Malcolm "outlawed all crime"? Isn't that a tautology, i.e. something being outlawed and something being a crime are definitionally the same? Is that the joke?

a future where soda beer smoking and mexican food is illegal, this is a horror movie
