You cannot imagine the emotional trauma that an entire theater of children endured during a screening of this movie. My 2nd older sister cried herself into a bloody nose and then threw up on herself because of the blood. I was 4 and I only remembered all of the crying. And now I will only see E.T. as Wendy Williams. Best. Reaction. Ever. Jason, I'm sorry for your loss! Losing a co-pilot sucks, but you had more good times than the sadness, and that means that he loved you too.

Never thought I'd hear ET be compared to Wendy Williams 😂 that had me rolling

I love the stories Drew Barrymore tells about this film, Steven Spielberg made sure that ET was always active when she was on set- making him appear real to her. Steven filled a father role that she never had, and this film started that. Some people were creeped out by this film, I find it heartwarming ❤

Just when I think the world has broken me and I’ve lost all empathy, I watch your pure ass reaction and my eyes get going. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

Saw this in a packed theater at 11 years old. The theater was so full our family couldn't even all sit together. One of the best memories of my life and the last time I remember a standing ovation from everyone at the end of the movie. What an experience....props to the orchestra and soundtrack in this film...WOW just wow.

Another masterpiece score from John Williams. My parents took me to see quite a few films as a kid, but what I remember most was my dad taking me to see _Star Wars_ and _E.T.,_ and the little "sniffs" I heard from him at the end of this. This film just blew everything else away that summer, and there was a major effort made to keep E.T.'s appearance a secret for as long as possible. But eventually, he was doing the "phone home" in commercials for AT&T.

I was 14 when this came out and I still laugh at ET running and screaming with his arms up. Neil Diamind released a song after seeing the movie called "Heartlight." It did very well on the charts.

EOM is the Platinum Standard of reactions. Always excellent content! Omg, Jason, I'm so sorry for your loss. Our fur-babies mean everything to us. My heart is with you, my friend.

I was 16 years old in 1982, and this was the first film I had seen that reflected my own home life-divorced single mom, three kids, oldest a boy who has taken on the role of “man of the house,” determined to protect his mother from thoughtless comments from his younger brother.

ET chasing Gertie into the closet never fails to crack me up😂😂😂

Fun fact…. They first approached M&M for the Candy bit. They turned it down and Reese’s Pieces was asked. It made that candy go to the stratosphere in sales. They had Dishwashers in the 80’s ???? 😂 We had indoor plumbing, cable, microwaves, computers, etc…. 😂 It’s okay with the tears, too. We were all bawling like babies in the theater.

I remember going to the cinema with my fiance to see this when it was released, and he and many other grown men lit cigarettes when it got to the emotional bits. All of a sudden, flares of red cigarette ends and lighter clicks, because none of them wanted to cry. 🙂

I swear my man, this is one of your best reactions yet. Thank you, you are so funny, and kind hearted.

👊✊🥲🤓❤ Puts massive tears into all the eyes of all us Genxers. Lover your reaction, comments, especially at the end. You feel it. I just love your channel so much man. Heart, massive laughs, and respect.

@JL one day you will know the movies that movie you emotionally are the ONLY movies worth re watching :). You continue to make me laugh, and your insight gets better and better. You are an amazing soul.......Thanks again to all the amazing patrons and EOM staff

And a Speak n Spell. He had that too. You might remember a Neil Diamond song called "Heartlight". He wrote that about E.T. Great reaction; really enjoyed it. Glad the spaceman grew on you, too!!

another fun fact, E.T's species, is on the galactic council in the star wars universe... which is why Et recognized the yoda mask

Great thumbnail, great heartfelt reaction. This channel never disappoints.

In case it has been mentioned, E.T.'s species is seen in the Congressional hearing in episode 1 The phantom Menace during the vote. It is Implied in this movie when he notices the Yoda costume his people's appearance in Star wars episode 1 and his enormous telekinetic and telepathic powers, he is secretly a Jedi...

Awesome reaction and the music in this is on another level, one of John William's best scores.

“That is the official I’m gonna get you boy truck”😂👍

"If I said that to my mom, I would just now be waking up". LMAOOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣

The dishwasher was invented in 1850. The first electric dishwasher was designed in 1929 by Miele. The first household dishwasher in the US was made in the 1950's.

Classic movies are classics for a reason 💜 Reese's Pieces will forever be linked to this film and I can't eat them without thinking about E T. (talk about ad placement!!!) Fun fact: Neil Diamond wrote a song about this movie called "(Turn On Your) Heartlight"..... it's worth a listen.

So sorry for Jason's loss of his co-pilot. Our family has lost too many co-pilots. I guess when you own so many, you must have loss. Thinking of Jason. J and Blank, you two always do such a great job in your roles! Love your co-pilots, J!

This movie never gets old. Still love it.

That's the amazing thing about the end of this movie...young or old, we ALL shed tears!!!

It's Pauly from Detroit. This movie I remember being really big at the drive in theaters. Whole families would pack up the car, truck, and big back then station wagons. Just imagine the sound of the sobbing and crying. If you have never been to a drive in movie, find one and go. Spoiler alert: sometimes the best shows are not on the big screen.

Blank, I love that you used the Reese's as the swear-blocker (like, what better one could you have used, right? ) I aloso loved the Jaws cut-in.

fair enough on "if we all ride together, and ya'll leave me, ya'll better not come back and get me" lol

"I'm excited to watch this, but I'm not as excited as other people are for me to watch this."... haha my exact feeling right now as I begin watching your reaction video.

My deepest and most sincere condolences on Jason's co-pilots passing... I Empathize your loss on a personal level

You've experienced "The ET Effect" . . . . . so many growing up freaked out and avoiding it, then finally watching and weeping. Speilberg does have a way of taking a mundane orpossibly scary subject and putting heart into it.

I'm a year late but Jason I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. When i loss my gorgeous queen co pilot Susie. I had to remind myself that losing our beloved co pilots is the price we pay for having them in our lives. Its a very heavy price, but worth every cent. Vet said she had less than a week of life left, but I was given the decision to put her down there or wait. Decided to wait and we got 13 more precious months. Unfortunately she passed away on my birthday.. Thankfully it was peacefully, painless and with a belly full of high quality steak. Being told she didnt have long fucked me up, but allowed me to grieve her death before she was truly taken. That made that year i got with her an incredible blessing.

Exactly the reaction I expected! You are such a softie--I knew there would be tears. I cry every single time I watch this flick. Superb reaction!

17:43 my reaction every single time for the same reason, after all these years 🤣🤣🤣 I've loved this movie since my childhood and always will, and the music... That last section when he gets on the ship kills me... The Care Bear thing haha! Just found your channel, subscribed!

Thank you so much for doing this review, Jay. I was 10 when this came out (a year younger than the actor who played Elliott). Coming out in June it because such a massive film across the planet. Staying in the top 5 in every country it was showing for almost a year. And everything in it became part of pop culture. And even in my 50's now, that movie still effects me. The John Williams score won all the awards, since it was a vital part of the story. And again, thank you sir for watching apart of my childhood.

ET's HEART LIGHT!!! He's a connected part of the collective on that ship. When they took off, Elliot seemed most receptive to ET.

Fun fact: in the 2011 comedy movie "Paul" (Seth Rogen, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost), the alien "Paul" consults with the real Steven Spielberg who was looking for advice on his new E.T. film. Great cameo (voice only).

"I don't know streets, mom always drives me "love it

Damn dude your laugh is so infectious! And your copilots are the best. 👍🤘♥️

No, Jaws wasn't Spielbergs first movie. It was "Duel", which is wonderful.

You are such a beautiful person❤️ I absolutely LOVE your reaction videos. I have horrible depression & your videos bring me such joy. Thank you for all the happiness. P.s you have the best dogs in the world. 🐶🐶💕

In the theatre class i took in high school, this was one of the films we had to study… the keys, the smoke (from ice), all of those things helped with the effects… it’s awesome to see how far film has come

nostalgia activated when the mom checks his tempature and says ok you're hot,sound of thermometer clinging on teeth all,im 41 yrs old,thanks for this flashback to one of my childhood favorites,i think its so awesome i get to sorta relive my childhood watching newer generations watch classics

The beginning scene when the government agents appeared, accompanied by the ominous music frightened me as a kid. The scene where the doctors use the defibrillator on E.T. and Gertie’ reaction made me cry. Her full name is likely Gertrude.

Hahaha! That thumbnail is the best!

Drew Barrymore was so young, but did such a good job as Gertie

"Wendy E.T. Williams" 😂😂😂

The 80's best decade ever!

Human-animal bond is very important and not enough people understand it. At my old job they used to mock me for being worried about my sick cat, and scoffed at the idea of me taking the day off to mourn the cat’s death. (Yeah, there’s a reason I don’t work there anymore, lol!) Appreciate you acknowledging and validating grief over the loss of a pet.

You gotta see the commercial they made last year I think. It has the same guy who plays Elliot but as an adult and ET comes back to visit. It’s a cute commercial. I forgot what the commercial was for but definitely cute

Loved every minute of this reaction! ❤😂

The Little girl in ET is Drew Barrymore, a well known actress after she grew up. Movies such as Charlie's Angels & 50 first dates.

"Why we leavin' the pizza?" Yeah, that was my question, too! LOL

Born in 1984. Grew up watching this movie. I even had a Speak N Spell because of this movie.

Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture but won for: Best Visual Effects Best Sound Editing Best Film Editing Best Original Score. It was the highest grossing movie of 1982, $792 million dollars ($1.2 Billion dollars today) against a $10 million dollar budget. Director Richard Attenborough, whom won for Best Director and Best Picture for Gandhi, said that it was one of the best movies ever made, and calls it his favorite Spielberg movie. 11 years later, Steven Spielberg and Richard Attenborough would team up for JURASSIC PARK.

I was only two years old when I watched E.T. in a movie theatre. My mom took me and my older sister to see it, thinking it was a kids movie. Someone had told her that. However, the film was too scary for me, so I spent most of the time sitting on my mom's lap. She comforted me and held me tight. Years later, Mom and I watched J's reaction together and we laughed and had a good time this go around. Also this time I did not sit on her lap. Progress! To Jason, who lost his co-pilot, you have my deepest sympathy and are not alone in these difficult times! My beloved co-pilot PoopPoops (I know it's a silly name, but it evolved from "puppy") went on his journey into the unknown last October 8th. He was my best friend and companion for 10 years. I'm a clingy person (as far as introverts go) and he was a clingy pup, so we were inseparable. He was like an extension of me or maybe I of him. We did everything together: we played, we cuddled, we ate, we watched TV, we slept. He always made me happy and loved me unconditionally. Therefore, I'm deeply sorry for your loss, Jason! I know how much it hurts to lose a co-pilot. The hardest thing about having a co-pilot is having to say...goodbye 😢. Even though I still miss him greatly (you'll have good days and bad), I still feel PoopPoops is with me when I need him. Sometimes I hear his bark in my head. Sometimes he visits me in my dreams and tells me he's okay (he doesn't talk with words, I just know him). So I’m sure your co-pilot is still with you, Jason. He's in your heart and in your memories. He's grateful for the life you gave him and the love you shared. He wants you to be happy and healthy. Remember to try and take care of yourself. It will be okay, it will take time, but it will be okay. 🙏

Cried when I first saw this and I was 19. Still cry when I rewatch it. And I’m 60.

Back in '82, if coach would...I mean when ET came out I stood in line all the way down the road to see this. Then Again a few years later, and finally hit home video in 86. Those were different times for sure

The John Williams score definitely adds to the emotional impact.

Sorry for your loss Jason! 💜❤

Watching you watch a movie is like enjoying the movie in a whole other deeper level! ❤❤❤❤❤

In the part where Elliot lures E.T. with candy. Originally E.T. was supposed to eat M&M candy. But the whole thing was a massive missed opportunity for Mars Incorporated. Spielberg originally intended for that iconic moment to involve M&Ms. The only reason they never ended up in the movie was that Mars Incorporated, who own M&Ms, refused to give the filmmaker permission to use the multi-coloured chocolates. As a result, Spielberg chose Reese’s Pieces as a replacement. Hershey Foods, who own Reese’s Pieces, struck a deal to promote the movie, dedicating $1 million to advertising, all whilst Universal allowed them to feature the titular alien in their visual media. Earning close to $800 million at the box office from a budget of just $10.5 million, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial became a significant hit and, as a result, sales for Reese’s Pieces jumped 85% in the weeks following its release in June 1982. Remarkably, the film and candy are still inextricably linked, with the deal between the movie and the food company being one of the most successful examples of product placement in movie history. And personally I prefer Reese’s Pieces myself over M&Ms. They're quite tasty and one of my old time favorites. When I go to the movie theaters. Along with plain popcorn and coca-cola.😄

Greatest soundtrack of all time...

Jason, sending you all the love and supportive vibes. Im really sorry for ur loss.

This is more nostalgia than great. I tried rewatching it when I was older and I was bored as hell. I feel like the references is what made this iconic. All I remember is the 3 main characters, Reece’s Pieces, Star Wars references, and the iconic bike image.

I was 5 when this came out. First movie I ever saw in the theater.

I am sorry to hear of Jason's loss. I lost my best buddy, my cat Wakko, when he was 20. I'll think of the two of them now, running through the tall grass in the warm sun, without a care in the world :)

The last scene of the kids riding up that street with ET .. The street with all the trees is LITERALLY A BLOCK FROM MY HOUSE... they have a mural on the side of a building right on the corner they started from... Ill try to sell u a pic... I've lived here my whole life... Lol😂😂😂 such A good movie for back in the day....

Glad you finally got to watch this!

17:15 pure comedic genius. That was funny

I've been laid up with a broken arm all week and the Wendy Williams thing is the hardest I've laughed since it happened 😂 thank you

I just wanted to say thank you for your content and I like your Ranger shirt, RIP JDF and RIP to Jason's co-pilots.

4:03 Steven Spielberg’s theatrical film debut was THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS (1974), which is a really good movie starring Goldie Hawn, but his first big commercial hit was, as you showed, JAWS (1975). Before SUGARLAND, Spielberg got a lot of experience directing television. His very first professional directing job was directing a portion of the premiere episode of Rod Serling’s Night Gallery in 1969, in which he directed legendary film actress Joan Crawford as a wealthy blind woman who is given a chance to see by getting an eye transplant. Spielberg was only 21 years old at the time. He also got a lot of attention for directing a TV movie called DUEL (1971), a thriller depicting a man driving alone through the desert and encountering a killer semi truck. That one is truly an unforgettable film and highly recommended.

@EOM Reacts - I watched this movie when I was very little… and “evil janitor” at 13:40 never crossed my mind but you made me bust out loud laughing 😂 Thank you, you’re the best

Those John Williams scores will move you like no other. 👌

I saw E.T in Downtown L.A The Orpheum Theater in the 1980's. Classic .

There's a theory that et came from same universe as star was cause of how it looked at Yoda and was like home home home. And in the phantom menace if you look closely you can see et's species there in the court scene

In the book, ET thinks the fed’s keys are the jawbones from his previous victims.

Stephen Spielberg's first big movie project was "DUEL", a made for TV movie.

Yep, I love that about then.

Oh, Jason... I'm so sorry. I hope you're getting through it.

My son had an ET birthday cake when he was little. We loved ET.

That was a fantastic reaction Jay, it was great to see you laughin' the arse off, and then the feels at the end, brilliant mate, thank you.

My favorite movie of all time. So glad you did this. Another great reaction brah.

I'm sorry for your loss J, they'll always be with you! Great reaction too!

Wendy Willams! I cannot unsee it! 🤣🤣🤣

When they came out the house they could've taken the sheet off of him and had him walk around as himself even though it's Halloween. People would think some kid is wearing a neat costume. That's what I would've done.

Since they met they got mentally connected somehow. That’s why Elliot got Startled by the Umbrella opening when the umbrella scared E.T. And why they both fell asleep at the same time

Jason, sorry for your loss. I know how it feels too😢

58 years old and im still crying!

I remember my parents taking me to the movie theatre when it came out 🤔

❤so so sorry for your loss Jason

Great reaction as always JL and my heart goes out out to Jason on the loss of his copilot

ET scared me too as a kid.

Amazing film and when i heard drew thought ET was real during filming, made me do happy. Sorry for your loss jason

Fun fact: There are members of E.T.s species in the Galacic Senate in Star Wars Episide III. E.T. in this movie seems to recognize Yodas species (at the Halloween scene). E.T. seems to have supernatural powers (healing others, making bikes fly). Theory: E.T. and Star Wars take place in the same universe. E.T. seems to be force sensitive, may even be a kind of explorer of the Jedi order.

I remember Reese's Pieces plastered on every advertisement surface in the world during this time.

16:17 The oil in natural unprocessed peanut butter in a jar separates from the peanut butter after a while if it’s not refrigerated. Back in 1982, natural peanut butter was still fairly new in the marketplace and popular. Since then they’ve found ways to prevent the oil from separating without putting the peanut butter through all the processes they do for their usual peanut butters, but if you go to a natural food store like Whole Foods or Sprouts and grind your own peanut butter or almond butter it should be refrigerated to keep it fresh longer and also to prevent the oil from separating.
