Today I learned George's name is not George, it is unpronounceable Chinese for Gaylord.

I cannot fucking wait for you both to meet his parents. 😂

"YOU TRIED TO MILK HIM YOU SICK SON OF A.." One of my favorite lines in a movie ever

Pam is the real villain of this movie, she set up Greg from the start. She could have TRIED to prepare him for her insane family. Also, Pam repeatedly did Greg so dirty during this movie. I recommend the sequel for sure.

"ate away your organs..like an unstoppable rebel force..." kills me everytime

The bloopers for this movie are fun to watch. De Niro helpless with laughter at something Stiller did is a sight to behold. 😂

I always thought Pam being so oblivious to the awkwardness of all the situations Greg was in when dealing with her family and how unsupportive she was in trying to make him comfortable, would have been the biggest red flag for me if I were in his position.

'Is this a good movie?' 'Does a bear crap in the woods outside of Simones house?'

Owen Wilson carving the altar out of one piece of wood is just so damn funny! Kills me every time.

Ben Stiller is the king of awkward moments and this film highlights them so well.

The actor who played the mother is Blythe Danner who is Gwyneth Paltrow's mom.

Now y'all have to watch Meet the Fockers

To answer George's question about grace, from someone who grew up in a Catholic household: there are certain traditional / historical prayers for saying grace, such as the one that starts "Bless us Oh Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive" etc. etc. But you can also just say a short improv prayer like "Dear God, thank you for this food and keep those whom we love safe" or whatever.

Fokker/Focker is a well known Dutch surname. Fokker company well known for aircraft. The name Gaylord existed long before the word "gay" became an orientation in 1970's. Gay used used to mean happy and outgoing.

I do like that Jack takes a while to get it through his head his head that he is wrong about Greg, but once he does he behaves (mostly) like an adult about it.

That little girl George said speaks like a 20 yr old is actually my older sister! She learned to speak very early and was very eloquent at a young age 😂. Love the channel and great reaction! (Also, if anyone wants to feel old, that little girl is now 34 with a little girl of her own!)

DeNiro had a movie with Anna Hathaway where he was a nice man. No angryness no secret background just a nice elderly man in an intern job. :D (The Intern)

"I have nipples Greg, could you milk me." Is a line that will live in your head for years once you watch this movie.

"We have the gum...you chew it" My absolute favorite line! 😂

My first serious girlfriends mum gave me a real hard time, I couldn't do anything right and she constantly had to find fault in everything I did. Her dad on the other hand adored me to bits and we still hang out a few times a year even after 10 years 😂

If you think Robert Deniro saying "can you milk me" is good, you should see his character in Stardust (2007). 😂

Ben Stiller is the master of awkward.

To this day, when I go to an airport, I have that scene stuck in my head: "BOMB BOMB BOMB! BOMB BOMB BA-BOMB!" And I'm like "Don't say it... don't say it...."

I am SO glad Mary Cherry didn't rub off on y'all with this one. She blamed Greg for EVERYTHING and failed to see how Pam and her family had ANY flaws.

In my mid-20's, working in constriuction and renovation, mostly in Manhattan. I met a nice girl at a party in Hoboken New Jersey..we set up a dinner date. She picked me up in her Mercedes and we drove miles down I-95 to an Italian restaraunt she'd chosen. I asked her what she 'did' and she said she was just 'helping out' with her parents' business while she decided what career she wanted. She went on to say that her uncle, her brother and her cousins also worked at the business, which was...."concrete, and waste disposal". I remarked that I didn't yet know her last name. "Bonanno" she said. I instantly made the connection between our general location, her "family business" and her last name. It was a pleasant date, she was nice and fun, but when she suggested a 2nd date, I demurred. Bonanno is the name of one of 'The Five Famiies" of New York...i.e. Mafia. I did not fancy meeting her parents.

Bears actually poop in my yard all the time. They do a funny butt shake when they’re done.

I haven’t met an overly protective parent, but I did meet a scary one. I was dating a Russian girl when I was younger, and when I went to pick her up for a date, her father opened the door and MAN, dude made me feel small. I’m 6’2 and I had to look up at him, and the guy was JACKED. Needless to say, me and her didn’t last long😂

Rest In Peace Lee Dorsey 1924-1986 Nicole DeHuff 1975-2005 who played Debbie Byrnes Roger Ebert 1942-2013 James Rebhorn 1948-2014 Bobby Womack 1944-2014 Richard Schickel 1933-2017 Dr John 1941-2019 and Phyllis George 1949-2020, Lee Dorsey, Bobby Womack and Dr John did the music, Roger Ebert and Richard Schickel were famous film critics, Nicole DeHuff who played Debbie died from pneumonia, on February 16 2005 she was 30 years old

I heard a rumor that the ratings department had a very strict rule about the pronunciation of Greg’s last name and they had to make sure it was clear they were saying “Focker”

Watching this for the first time was such a surreal experience: my dad physically looks like a Bob De Niro lookalike, was in the military (and we always suspected had a hand in intelligence) and was typically overbearing and unaware of being so. Soooooo freaky!!! And he's crazy obsessive about his pets too (but will deny it to his death) 😅

I'm so glad yall also dislike Pam. You're 100% right she's setting him up to fail! lol Fun reaction. The next one is good too! Frustrating in similar ways.

I had a friend in high school who's dad would clean his shotgun while meeting his daughter's dates.

26:53 😆 you’ll find out about the parents in the 2nd movie. Then you’ll understand lol.

You should meet Greg's parents, they're _fun_ and very _accepting_ of others, especially Pam's parents. After that, maybe meet his children in the future.

One Fine Day (1996). Underrated rom-com with George Clooney & Michelle Pfeiffer.

Fun bit of trivia: this film is actually a remake of a low-budget indie movie from 1992. I believe you can find the original on KZfaq.

The mom, Blythe Danner, star of _Westworld,_ is Gwyneth Paltrow's mom. *PLEASE watch the sequels!*

The lady at the airport boarding gate is the best character.

Meet the Fockers( the sequel) is an absolute Must!!

22:20 I finally got an answer to my question (whether George was your name given at birth). I wonder what your name is and how it is pronounced. Is it difficult because we don’t use the sounds in English and/ or could you spell it in such a way that an English speaker could “sound it out”? Did you choose George or did your parents decide? Edit: for example, Xi’An is close to how you would pronounce my name in English

I did that same thing to someone playing volleyball in high school. I spiked it hard into the face of some poor kid with a bad case of cystic acne. It popped all of the zits on one side of his face. A river of blood and pus poured down his face, onto his shirt. I felt really bad for him. That was pretty traumatic. 😬

Great movie and so many quotable scenes. "I just figured if you're going to follow in someone's footsteps, who better than Christ?" This gets me every time. Every character is written carefully. Really well done. Quite sad that Nicole DeHuff (Debbie) died at age 30 of pneumonia though....

@2:17 Wow Emo Philips was a producer on this... I never knew that. Emo Philips is a one of a kind super underrated comic for those who don't know.

I totally thought the purring was Jinx. It took me a while to realize it was Simone's cat. And that makes Simone's cat the cuter one.

One of the great comedies of all time!

Gaylord Perry (September 15, 1938 - December 1, 2022) was an American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) who played for eight teams from 1962 to 1983, becoming one of the most durable and successful pitchers in history. A five-time All-Star, Perry was the first pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in both leagues.

This movie came out a year before 9/11, but still it was common knowledge you can't say bomb on a airplane. A friend of mine mom's said her little girl would announce her farts as "oops, another bomb went off", and she apparently was gassy at the airport.

Fun fact: the reason they do that for posters, is because of "top billing." We read left to right, so when you see Stiller's name on the left, he's "first," but then in the photo, DeNiro would usually be "first."

The sequel is one of those films that surpasses the original. It was so outrageous and one of my favorite experiences in a theater. Also, this lay the foundation for me enjoy super awkward comedy like the Office. Would've watched that show sooner if I would've known that was the type of humor it played with ahaha

I've watched so many reaction channels. Thousands of reactions. I can honestly say, y'alls is the best. Well for me anyway. The way the 2 of you converse is just perfection. I just want to thank the both of you for the work you put in to put smiles on people's faces. Keep it up! And again, thanks!

Perfect Robert De Niro face in that thumbnail.

Hope you watch the next two films too.

Such a classic, I had the nick name Focker for a while. at the time this came out I looked a lot like Ben Stiller did at this time in his life.

THAT SMELL, BOB, IS OUR SHIT!

"A bear pooped in my yard," Considering you guys are Canadian. That must happen sometimes.

You should also watch Analyze This and Analyze That. Hilarious comedies with De Niro who plays a mob boss and Billy Crystal as his shrink.

Meeting the parents was interesting in my household growing up. My oldest sister was the first to invite a boy over. Our father, who was in law enforcement, answered the door when he arrived. And as he stepped into the house, my father told him, "Assume the position." Thinking he was playing along, the boy immediately faced the nearest wall and put his hands on the wall, as if he was being arrested and about to be frisked. It was at that point my father leaned in and said softly in his ear, "I can't tell you how disappointed I am that you knew what it meant to 'assume the position.' It's almost as if you had done it before." He then turned and walked over to his recliner, where he sat down and picked up his newspaper. I don't know how many minutes the boy remained in the position. But I still remember the look on his face. I also remember that none of my other sisters brought boys by the house after that.

You can always continue the awkwardness with the two sequels. 'Meet the Fockers' and 'Little Fockers'.

Huh. The attendant at the airport at the end who stops him from boarding played Halfreck the Vengeance Demon in Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Best intro so far, because you know a Bear actually pooped in her yard. 😂

Sometimes I like to do self-love while looking at my self-reflection

If you guys want to see Robert De Niro in some VERY funny movies, I would recommend 'Analyze This' and 'Analyze That's. Both are hilarious!!!

Please please do the 2nd film!!

I just fell in love with Simone after her Owen Wilson "wow" impression.

Omg the thumbnail 😂 S-tier

Two-time Academy Award-winning writer Alexander Payne (Sideways, The Descendants, The Holdovers) did final rewrites on this script, although he's uncredited.

"Self-love is good, but self-reflection is better." Is that an old Chinese adage? It is on point, but I've never heard it before.

This is definitely a classic! So many quotable lines that I still use to this day lol..

26:56 when you see Meet the Fockers you’ll understand. 30:06 the airport probably had his luggage on a table to look through it since he was protective of it.

Fun fact: Jay Roach gave a handy-cam to Teri Polo's husband and he make that footage that we see in the begining.

One of the funniest modern comedies!!!

10:43 "Is there, like, a general structure to grace..." Well, there _was_ at the end of his, at least, because his prayer morphed into the lyrics of Day By Day, a song from the musical Godspell. 🤦‍♂😆

My favorite one out of the trilogy is Meet the Fockers. Can’t wait for that reaction

I hope you'll continue the series of them. These are great fun movies.

This is the first time I noticed how much her extended family wears beige and turtlenecks, or beige turtlenecks.

i love seeing the mom in things. She was in one of my top 20 films "hearts beat loud" so fantastic

26:25 Simone is too funny.

You both make me want to rewatch these movies. Love your channel!

I dated a few girls in high school who's dads tried going out of their way to make me feel uncomfortable by cleaning their guns when I arrived. I've also had dads pretend to get all to be overly angry, make jokes at my expense, etc. Each time, I just immediately called them out on it. They tried to dismiss and minimize it. I never broke up or stopped dating cause of their dads, but I did refuse to be around a couple of dads.

Tom McCarthy, who plays Bob, wrote and directed the Oscar-winning movie Spotlight. Highly recommend watching on the channel.

My cat by herself started using the toilet ..just one morning got up an she was standing on the seat with her back legs and front on the tank and just let it flow lol

Don't wait a year to do Meet the Fockers, please!

I have been lucky in the sense that all my girlfriends since high school (4 serious ones), the parents especially the mom has been very sweet and friendly, I did how ever get the threatening talk on the first date of one, but after getting to know him I understood that was just his humor. but I didnt tempt that 🤣🤣

The thumbnails are always great, but I really love this one, especially Simone’s De Niro face:)

Definitely watch the whole franchise. 👍👍👍👍

I was a troublemaker when my (now) wife started dating in highschool. So, I was trying to be cool 😎 and my then gf and I went to a nature park to smoke. Cops>arrest>they let her go. So, my first meeting was them telling me that "never again" could anything like that happen. They were nice about it and it never happened again. That was almost 26 years ago and we're still going strong! We're going to visit her dad and stepmom in Nashville in a few weeks. So, it probably shouldn't have worked out but it did.

Meet the fockers is real fun

Pam is the absolute worst. For the following reasons: Didn't at least warn Greg about her dad Lied to her parents about them cohabitating Doesn't tell Greg she used to be engaged Was not sympathetic about Greg having to borrow Jack's clothes Let's him sleep in while everyone is up and eating breakfast, thus making him look like an asshole Makes Greg borrow clothes from her brother without introducing them first Doesn't tell Greg that Kevin is the best man and they are having a BBQ at his house Is on Kevin's team during volleyball where she calls her ex old nicknames and also tells him that Greg is scared of the ball Volunteers Greg to find Mr Jinx putting even more pressure on him Does not have Greg's back when everything goes to shit and let's him leave F Pam!!!!

You gotta watch „Stardust“. You will see an unique on screen DeNiro

The lead character from Get Out was probably more comfortable than Greg was. 😁

Love this movie! My grandpa passed away a year or so before this movie came and Robert DeNiro characteristic as the dad is exactly like my grandpa. You fuck with my family ill mess you up attitude but super cool person overall lol

You need to watch part two for sure it's great

There was a Christian Rap band back in the 90’s named DC Talk. They had a song Day by Day. The awkward dinner prayer? Yeah, those were actually song lyrics.

Love you two! I just watched this again for the 50th time over the weekend lol. But can’t wait to watch your reaction! Keep up the great content guys 😎👍

I had to take a polygraph test for an investigation once and can tell you, even though I knew nothing/was innocent... it is nerve-racking as hell

26:50 please watch the sequel for the fantastic answer!

Liking dogs has to be learned. I grew up in a neighborhood where dogs weren’t allowed and no one who was raised there liked dogs at all. The first time I ever had physical contact with a dog I was almost 11 years old and it was trying to kill me. I didn’t have my first positive thought about a dog until I was in my early-30s.

That was a pretty good "wowww" from Simone.

I really hope y'all do the second one. For some reason, I've always preferred the second one the most. Stellar cast and screenwriting.

Does a bear poop in the woods? Not that one.
