SING WITH US! One line at a time, please 😁 🎵You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch🎵

There is a dark theory that max was a gift that was given but then thrown away and that's how he came to be in the grinch's possession. Which is probably why he remains loyal to the grinch.

One my favourite jokes from the movie: “Hey honey, our baby’s here!... Looks just like your boss.”

Fun fact: Jim Carey would sneak to the Bates motel set between shoots and jump out at the backlot tour scaring everyone including the workers.

In a deleted scene, the light decoration contest was rigged by the mayor (the envelope w/ the winner had Betty’s name on it) so that Martha won.

"Jury Duty, Jury Duty, Jury Duty, Blackmail, Pink Slip, Chain Mail, Eviction Notice!" Pure platinum I tell ya!

As a kid I was never scared of the grinch, just couldn’t stop laughing hard at Jim Carry’s performance.

Fun fact! The actress who played as Cindy (the little girl), is the leader of a punk rock band called The Pretty Reckless! Her singing voice is pretty damn good

Quick fact: Jim Carry had to learn CIA torture resistance techniques to be able to get all that makeup on.

“Solve World Hunger; tell nobody!” That’s gotta be my favorite line 😂 The Grinch could solve world issues but won’t out of pettiness

Honestly I was only scared of certain parts where he was trying to look scary or sinister. But knowing who jim Carrey was at a young age helped me not be terrified of seeing the grinch

The bit with the Grinch pulling the tablecloth off and then coming back to mess up the table is that he was supposed to mess it up and accidentally did the trick on the first take and then rushed back to mess it up. The little bit of improv was so good they kept it.

So glad you liked this one! I see a lot of hate online for it but I love this rendition of the story. Super nostalgia but its so fun and Jim Carrey is INCREDIBLE. His commitment is aw-inspiring.

When I heard Ron Howard was directing, I knew it was gonna be good. I love how the first time we see the Grinch's full face, he smiles that face-eating grin...like his face was drawn by Chuck Jones.

“The original Grinch looked and sounded deeply sinister. THE JIM CARREY GRINCH WAS A FUCKING MENACE TO SOCIETY” -Schaffrillas

I've been watching this every year for Christmas since I was a toddler so I never had a phase where it scared me. When I was a little too young to even understand the story, I was still entranced by just how the settings looked. I read Dr. Seuss books with my father and sister every night so it was like seeing the books come to life.

Never found the Grinch scary as a kid. In fact I used to imitate the Grinch. Hadn't seen anything Jim Carrey prior to the film, but I definitely loved it.

Fun fact: Jim Carrey went through navy seal training to endure long torture because of the amount of time and makeup he had to sit through and wear.

the animated special from way back when imo just cant even hold a candle to Ron Howard's take on The Grinch, it's got so much depth to it and Jim Carrey's going full ham both adds so much to the film.

Cindy was played by Taylor Momsen.. Known today as the lead singer of Pretty Reckless

The people who wrote the Screenplay knew how to keep kids from being scared: They made him a troll with a heart. Prank calls, fake letters, and saying he had ending world hunger on his list, made him a lot less threatening.

I tear up every time I watch this movie when the Grinch tells Max he loves him.

I remember seeing this in theaters when I was 13, I always thought Jim Carrey was hilarious as the Grinch and was never scared by him. I still have to watch it every Christmas 😄

This version is really good! There's; pretty sets and decorations, Cindy lou is adorable and kind, the music is cheerful, Jim Carrey is hilarious and a great singer, the moral is respected. I consider this movie as a classic like Home Alone 1 and 2. He's excellent :D The Grinch's hatred for Christams makes sense unlike in the Illumination version. Also, Cindy lou doesn't have useless friends and there's no rap. Thankg god Jim Carrey sing the melody in goofy voices, it was so entertaining and fun!

That child actor is in a raunchy goth rock band now called the Pretty Reckless. It will shock you. Her name is Taylor Momsen. She was in a creepy soap opera where she posed in her underwear at 13 on a magazine. Creepy. When I first saw the music video I couldn’t believe it was her.

"That's real Charlie Bucket energy." AHAHAHAHAHA

Jim Carrey said that being in the Grinch makeup was like being buried alive every day. He told Ron Howard that he couldn't do the movie, but they were able to help him cope by hiring a specialist who trains CIA operatives how to withstand torture. Ron Howard wore the makeup himself for one day shooting so he could appreciate what Jim was going through in the role.

I laughed my a** off when this first came out..

I was in fact scared of that one scene with Cindy and Grinch in his lair as a kid. I was fine the rest of the movie but something in that scene triggered my little kid alarms and I even asked if my mom could take me out of the theater for a bit. She however declined that request but I was fine for the rest of the movie so I guess it worked out. Now I use parts of that scene as inspiration for my fan casting of Jim Carrey as Carnage from Spider-Man but that’ll never happen 😂

This movie is definitely nostalgic for me. Jim Carrey is awesome. While it does have cringey moments, but what Christmas movie doesn’t have a few of those. overall, it follows the source material and was like lightning in a bottle (especially after what happened with Cat in the Hat)

Jim Carrey, Christine Baranski, Jeffrey Tambor, Molly Shannon, Clint Howard, Bill Irwin, and of course Taylor Momsen! I am such a fan of Taylor Momsen that it is all I can think of when I watch this movie now. If you do not know her, she played Little Cindy Lou Who and now is the singer of the band The Pretty Reckless. I love her voice and lyricism! It is like punk, rock, and a little bluesy at times. She is 29 years old now.

Everyone needs a dog like Max. A dog is the only love money can buy.

What was your favorite Dr Seuss story growing up? Mine's the 500 hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, I've been told I could recite it word for word, by the time I was in kindergarten. Just last year I believe, a good friend of mine bought me a copy of the story in color; one of the best gifts I've ever received and that's not something I would say lightly...

Can anyone else believe that the woman who the grinch likes, is actually Leonard's Mom from Big Bang Theory?

I wasn’t afraid of The Grinch himself as a kid, but for some reason as a kid I thought that scene where Cindy Lou and The Grinch started screaming at each other scared me. 🤣🤣🤣

Solid intro with the off beat slap on the leg 😂 instant like

Fun fact the girl playing Cindy lou went on to being the lead singer for the metal band the pretty reckles.

Loved Anthony Hopkins as the narrator.

I was just wondering if the snowflake hit the ground whoville will be done for

My fav part of this movie is when he sees cindy in trouble ( about to go over the cliff ) and channels his rage into massive strength diverting the sleigh away from the cliff, saving both presents and cindy lou. That hit me hard when i first saw this.

One thing I think REALLY shows how much of a truly amazing writer Suess was is that, I don't think this story has ever had a truly "bad" adaptation. I own all 3 major versions of this story on blue ray, and make it a yearly thing to have a Grinch day and watch all 3, cause all 3 are really good in their own ways. (Yes, even the modern one from Illumination) Also, if I remember right, Cindy Loo's actress actually grew up to become a proper singer. She fronts "The Pretty Wreckless" if I remember right.

Maxs back story becomes dark and sad when you realise that everything the grinch owns is a unwanted Christmas gift..... 😢

Fun fact: The makeup sessions for Jim Carrey were so long and sometimes even painful (removing the stuff) that they had a CIA agent on the set who taught Jim Carrey how to endure torture.

14:11 i love how the only people who reacted bad to the gift is Martha and Cindy, because they are the ones who knows the story

He's so giddy he hit the griddy😂

I dunno, the animated version will always have that special place in my heart. No disrespect to the brilliant Jim Carey.

The Grinch never scared me as a kid. Anytime he appeared on screen or got into the camera, I just laughed my ass off.

I gotta say if you wanna see more of Emotional Jim Carrey then I recommend watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, it is a really good movie and Jim Carrey gives his all in it.

Cindy Lou Who is played by Taylor Momsen. She grew to have a band in real life. The Pretty Reckless.

fun fact, cindy lou who is actually the singer of a band called the pretty reckless

I saw this movie in theaters when I was 7 or 8 years old… Scared the hell outta me. 😱 I couldn’t watch it for YEARS.

I like how this whole movie could be a Greek Epic or something. Because certain characters feel like they could be stand-ins for certain Greek Gods. The Grinch is obviously Hephaestus. He's "ugly" and therefore shunned by most of society. He lives in a mountain (maybe dormant volcano?) and he's an inventor and craftsman. He's highly intelligent and it shows in his home decor and workshop area. So, if the Grinch is Hephaestus, then Martha May HAS to be Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, also ends up being Hephaestus' husband. She also feels like Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Just that unbelievingly beautiful woman that seems unattainable by others and is married to an unusual husband. Mayor Augustus May Who has to be Ares. He's always willing to start a fight, he's a HUGE bully to the Grinch and Cindy Lou, and nobody should like him,

I saw this for the first time in 20 years last week. Couldn’t believe how fun it was. The wife and I really enjoyed ourselves.

have watched and loved this movie consistently since childhood and can’t remember ever being scared while watching it, quite often my sister and i would quote and imitate him haha

That 5 second intro= me instantly subbing and liking the vid XD love you both already XD I have now finished the video, and that subbed was well deserved, loved your personalities! As much as I love this movie

So glad you guys were down with this movie (:

If you want to go waaaaay back, you should look at the first, and (some would say) still the best live-action Dr. Seuss movie, 'The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T.' (1953) with Tommy Rettig (before he became Lassie's first TV boy) and Hans Conreid (before he became Snidely Whiplash). I don't know if it's _good_ or not; but I love it! "Is it atomic?" "Yes, sir! VERY atomic!"

“THE AVARICE NEVER ENDS!!” The whole rant scene makes me laugh so hard.

I just did my annual re-watch of the Grinch (though to be honest I'm going to watch it again in December...so maybe it's bi-annual at this point) and stumbled across this video while looking for behind the scenes info since I don't own the DVD with that stuff anymore. Well, y'all are absolutely hilarious and heartwarming. I'm subbing and gonna check out the rest of your videos. I hope you're well.

Watching this as a kid I was scared on the way he looked and just the w way he was POTRAYED in certain scenes. Now that I'm older it's just funny

The girl did the equivalent to inviting osoma bin Ladin to New York

This is my favorite movie for a reason😌

I was terrified bye the grinch and I still am

we went and saw this when it came out in the theater and my younger cousin(she was under 5) FREAKED out, she was terrified of the Grinch.

This movie (and just the Grinch altogether) scared the crap out of me when I was really young. I had a literal nightmare that the Grinch was in my room and I saw his evil sihlouette on the wall and I screamed and screamed so loud I woke the whole house. But then I eventually got over it and saw how great this movie is.

Yay The Socks! 🤗 I always knew thier our Friends. There Pokemon & I love this reaction & Movie🤗

I was fuckin terrified of this movie as a kid 💀

Also the 'trick' where the grinch whips the table cloth off the table was an error. Jim Carrey was supposed to whip it away and everything come clattering down but he actually whipped the table cloth out and 'had' to go back to have everything fall over

One of the kids at the beginning of the movie is T. J. Thyne who played Hodges on Bones....the bug guy.

Jim Carrey went through CIA torture resistance training in order to prepare for the makeup process

Great video. Reminded me to register for my jury duty summons too lol.

This movie is honestly a classic

HotAugustNight... Perfect let's watch the boys watch a Christmas movie while decked out.. lol XooX

1:36-1:39 “My Leg!!!!” 😂😂 Also, did the two guys just cartwheeled down the hill? Either way, this is hilarious!

Well you better go catch it

I remember seeing this in theaters when I was 6 ("How the Grinch Stole Christmas" was the first book I could read) and I didn't like the movie thinking it missed the point of the book.

Welp.. i have a smile on my face for the rest of the evening now :D

The Grinch was Society Joker before Society Joker.

The whole commentary is good but the punching noise at 24:00 had me on the floor laughing

I was 5 when this came out. The only thing about the grinch that scared me was the smile. But I got over it quick cause I was smart enough to understand acting. I watched blade at 3, the grinch was light work lmao

7:34 Santa bye bye

I never laughed at the look Grinch gave the mayor as much as I did watching this video lol

How many movies can I watch from you two? Going on 5th reaction. Yes!

Fun fact: the girl that played Cindy Lou Who is Taylor Momsen and she's been the lead singer of a rock band called The Pretty Reckless since 2009

First time watcher.. Great reaction.. Have you seen " In Living Color" The TV show w/JC Those grinch faces are totally "Fire Marshall Bill" Totally worth a search..

you wanted to cry with cindy lou think about how he got his dog. he lives in the dump and gets everything from the dump. That means he got his dog from someone that threw out their dog which is why he was adamant about not going in the shoot because it brought back the memory of when the dog was a puppy.

Running Time:1:44:57

The teaser trailer to me suggested that the movie could have easily been done as a horror as it didn't suggest that it was a comedy, I remember only seeing the grinches hands as he goes around the house sucking up the presents and cutting the floorboards to take the tree away, even in that scene where he pretends to be santa while hiding behind the tree could easily be nightmare fuel to make a straight up Grinch horror movie if they wanted to... but no the movie itself wasn't scary as a kid, you were immediately on board with Jim Carreys Schtick plus I was already obsessed with Ace Ventura and The Mask.

she was a cute kid and lead singer of The Pretty Reckless that chick rocks now so its nice to see her again as a cute kid.

Also, nobody seems to think about it but _what happened_ to that Who baby that the Grinch's basket bumped off-course...And _where was the Grinch baby heading_ to begin with?? The implication here seems to be that on some other snowflake or flower or grain of dirt, there's a whole species of Grinch-type Whos lookin' like him. And those expectant parents were left alone.

14:30 Jim Carrey is just being Carrie, escept he's the Grinch. Carrey, Carrie, sound similar. ;)

I never actually watched this live-action version of it before. I loved the 60s cartoon original that everyone knows, but I thought this was a terrible movie like the live-action Mike Myers' The Cat in the Hat. However, after watching along for the first time with you boys on this video, it's a better movie than I thought.

Honestly a live action seuss extended universe with mike myers and jim carrey reprising their roles would be amazing.

I was afraid of the scene where you first got to see what his face looked like with all the makeup and prosthetics, still am unsettled by it many years later

This is probably very late, but...Cindy Lou Who is Taylor Momsen...the lead singer of The Pretty Reckless band. she grew up and is a very good singer.

I still find it hilarious that’s Taylor Momson from the pretty reckless as Cindy Who

when i was 7 the nearby theater had a giant Grinch poster and it scared the crap out of me

If you’re going to do Christmas movies, then I have to recommend the following: Any Rankin Bass holiday special Scrooged with Bill Murray Santa’s Slay The Santa Clause with Tim Allen

8.30 Hours is the time it took to put on the makeup on Jim Carrey. Carrey almost quit the film for that reason only. Good that the director managed to find and easier way to do his makeup and convince Carrey to stay in the film.

Taylor momsen(Cindy lou) is a metal singer now for The Pretty Reckless
