Fun in FUCKING-NOPE Land

"Even Old Mr. Walrus is Cryin'" We all are, Mr. Walrus, we all are.

Somewhere, a young John Wayne Gacy watched this, looked at his clown doll, and thought: 'I know what I want to do with my life.'

"STOP FUCKING THE BALLOONS!!!" 🎈🎈🎈🎈

On the Fun in Balloon Land RiffTrax, the final riff of the film, which happens immediately after the end credits finish, perfectly describes everyone's opinion after they see the film: "Okay, seriously. What the hell was that?"

This is what's wrong with the kids today: a lack of good old-fashioned nightmare fuel.

Well, it’s time for my annual Thanksgiving rewatch of this absolute masterpiece

Somehow the parade has something genuinely depressing and haunting about it, like some funeral or something

13:34 "STOP F--KING THE BALLOONS!!!" Easily one of my favorite remarks in a Snob review...

I’m embarrassed by how many times I watched this without noticing all the details. Then I saw the 19th Street sign and it finally smacked me in the face. It’s in Philly! Specifically Benjamin Franklin Parkway at Logan Circle. I’ve even been part of parades on that route. Of course, by that decade, the trees were larger and fuller, but the sign was the same. Good gawd! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤭

These are the *actual* balloons the Oogieloves were looking for.

I'm just picturing this as child Tommy Wiseau's favorite movie.

"STOP FUCKIN' THE BALLONS" Perfection.

The Cinema Snob reacting over and to the parade narrator is some of the funniest stuff he has done.

That Parade looked sad. The sky was cloudy, the weather definitely cold judging from what people were wearing, it all looked so grey and if there wasn't a big marching band, then you only saw a few random people on street.

So that's why people did all those drugs in the Sixties. They watched _Fun in Balloon Land_ and thought, "Welp, a three-day mescaline-LSD-and-Night-Train bender couldn't possibly be as horrifying as this."

I'm sorry Stephen King, for thinking balloons aren't scary...I'm so sorry. Now I know Oh *NOW I KNOW*

The theme song sounds like something you’d play on repeat to drive the people you have locked in your basement insane

The film that makes David Lynch look like a Rankin/Bass Christmas special!

The theme song has NO BUSINESS sounding this creepy. It sounds like a creepy tune an ice cream truck plays in the neighborhood.

"This whole song is sung like some drunk guy, keeping himself entertained, while he stumbles down the street and passes out in a dumpster..." X-DDD

That Albert Fish joke made me lose my shit, that was hilarious.

This what happens if the Oogieloves was directed by Stanley Kubrick

Oh yes...They FLOAT!

"Fun in baloon land" sounds like a Five Nights at Freddys spinoff game

That Carolina reaper chip was so spicy, it caused Brad to hallucinate about Balloon Land again.

This is the movie they show in Guantanamo Bay when even the prisoners think that someone deserves punishment

So... this is what Gacy's Thanksgiving Day Parade looks like.

Watched this review for the first time as a hs sophomore, am now 21 and fulfilling my lifelong dream of watching it while stoned. Damn time flies

"STOP FUCKING THE BALLOONS!" I died.

"Just because his name is Albert Fish doesn't mean you're under the sea!!" Damn, Brad. That was a... really dark reference, even for you. Made me laugh regardless though!

"Whole lot of fuck'n NOPE" should be ion a t-shirt!

One of my absolute Cinema Snob favourites. Nostalgic, creepy as hell, cheesy, disturbing, for kids. And all garnished with the Snob's disgust and disbelief in his typical snobbish way. A classic to me. Aaaah, thank God I am not a child anymore!

Fun in Balloon Land is straight up strange and possibly trauma inducing. It was actually made by Giant Parade Balloons. The only "cast" was Dorothy Brown Green who also narrated the infamous '71 Santa's Christmas Elf(named Calvin).

Fun in Balloon Land's production value screams RELATIVES (that own balloon parade) : Hey, Johnny you wrote that book in pre-school and you like movie production, could you do this for the family business? JOHNNY: I have ideas that could make it good if you want me to direct it. RELATIVES: We have a camcorder and 5$ could you make that work for us? JOHNNY: I don't know. Sounds pretty limiting. RELATIVES: Come on, we'll pay for lunch at Ruby Tuesdays! JOHNNY: fine. (then whispers) I hope to God no one sees this shit. then the UNCLE (the voice behind the first giant balloon) ends up directing it when there are creative differences. Johnny still gets RUBY TUESDAYS but can't order any drink beyond water.

for some reason, 'Whatever gets their minds off Vietnam, I guess' just made me fucking cackle for minutes.

This is easily one of my favorite Cinema Snob reviews.

In a Nopeshell: Nope in Nopeland.

That Albert Fish joke was dark as fuck but still made me laugh.

If this movie gets a remake, it should be a horror movie.

I can still remember the first time I watched this, and the whole time I was thinking "This is all going to be a big leadup to an Oogieloves joke, isnt it?"

13:34 Stop f*ckin' the balloons. - The cinema snob (2014/16).

"Is the dog gay too??" never fails to make me laugh, is one of the many lines that keeps me coming back to this review ❤️

One of my favorites. "Stop fucking the balloons!"

"WHERE TO START WITH THAT FUCKIN' SHIT?!"

Fun in Balloon Land - the film that dares to answer the question: "WHY?"

This film is scarier than _The Shining._ There, I said it.

Yup. Still watching this is 2022.

No seriously though is the parade announcer Angela's mom from Sleep Away Camp?? o_0 this explains SO much...

imagine being a child at this time and your parents give you this cursed video to watch as it morphs your brain into a serial killer

I will NEVER get tired of watching this episode. Still don't know what "ducky" means.

Damn, that chip was so spicy it made Brad's hair grow back!

I watched the Rifftrax of this high, without realizing it's actually like an hour long. That was a long and terrifying hour.

The "horny" narrator really cracks me up everytime. xD I love how you made it so hilarious AF, Snob. xD

Dear Mother of God. This film makes Peppermint Park look like The Last Unicorn!!

Stop fucking the balloons!

I've already seen this many times but it's one of my favourites so... watching again. Cheers, Brad.

Fun In Balloon Land should be a horror video game.

This is one of my favorite Snob episodes for two reasons; the intro, and "STOP FUCKING THE BALLOONS!"

I came back to this review because it made more sense than Santa's Christmas Elf (named Calvin)

I love how the rest of the time she sounds cheery but then she says “come on, they need encouragement” like she’s threatening the viewer

The narrator's name is Dorothy Brown Green, who was also in Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny.

I saw this video when Brad originally uploaded it. Ever since then that Balloonland song has been popping up in my head randomly like once every couple months. Thanks, Brad.

They float... They all float...

Just because his name is Albert Fish, it doesn't you're under the sea. Lol

“Don’t you know that in a dream you can do anything?” So I can dream I escaped Balloonland?

This is my favorite CS opening of all time. Brad's expression is priceless.

Oh, no! These are the wrong balloons!

I loved this one when I first saw it! "STOP FUCKING THE BALOONS!"

Fucking hell, the opening song is what must play when you *enter* Hell.

I sat through all 18 minutes of this. At the end I was making a sound I thought was laughter but was apparently so pained sounding that my poor dog thought I was suffering. She attempted to save me while whimpering and pawing frantically at my face. She then proceeded to bark frantically at nothing. Moral of the story... do not watch commentary about this slop of a movie unless the dog is unable to hear your soul's torment. Otherwise she will attempt an exorcism then send off the vile spirits to the netherworld. To The Cinema Snob I have but one thing to say. You, sir, are a saint to have watched the entire thing just to ware the world of this evil force that attempts to torment our souls.

This episode only comes up late at night, probably the most haunting time to watch

The first time I watched Balloon Land was the Rifftrax version and by the "guessing game" at the end I was legitimately laughing so hard I was crying. It's now become that thing I make anyone who spends the night at my house watch because of pure WTFery.

Probably my favourite Snob episode to date, so really pleased it's re-uploaded here. Nightmare fuel, from beginning to end.

Oh no... IT'S BACK! RUN YOU INNOCENT FOOLS! *RUUUUUN!*

Cinema Snob jumping up and down in his seat is funny as fuck! Brad your a legend.

This is like something out of a surreal horror movie.

somewhere that boy is a grown up man who wakes up at night hearing that god awful song, incredibly horrified.

The most effective way to do analog horror is to do it by accident.

They air this on the Rifftrax channel over on Twitch. Even with the Jokes, it hard to watch but at lease the chat is always great on Balloon land. The other film that is that bad is Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny .

I’ve watched the Rifftrax version of Fun in Balloon land so many times, I almost completely memorized “the guessing game” part. It was beyond weird to hear the “movie’s” audio without Mike, Kevin, and Bill.

I don't know which I'm enjoying more: the Snob or the equally funny comments from his fanbase. Either way, we all win.

I feel that the MST3K gang would have a ball with this.

the narrator sounds like Ricky's mom from Sleepaway Camp

"Stop F***ing the Balloons!" best line

I always come back to this every few months, never fails to make me laugh and shriek in horror.

"You can replace "What are you doing here?" with a clip of Bojack Horseman saying the exact same thing in the exact same tone.

The first 20 seconds of this tells you all you need to know.

FUN IN BALLOON LAND was shot in south Philadelphia. Philadelphia should never live this down

Also the owl, cat, and turkey thing is from a nursery rhyme, I think. Still doesn't explain why there are two balloons of them in this parade though.

This may sound random, but this the most aesthetically mormon movie I've seen in my life.

That parade bit is still probably the most I've laughs per minute I've had with this show. And this isn't exactly my first time watching either, I literally paused the new episode because he mentions this review so I came to watch this instead.

What are the odds Michael Jackson watched this movie on repeat during the holidays or, better yet, Kevin Spacey?

That song sounds like something Rose Nylund learned in St. Olaf. Jesus.

''STOP FUCKING THE BALLOONS!!'' lol

Narrated by Aunt Martha.

Was this movie influenced by Stephen King's IT?

This would have been great for Halloween. Because this gives you nothing but nightmares.

Spot on with the soul eating clowns that were everywhere two months ago.

This is the best review by Cinema Snob, period. And I've watched alot of Cinema Snob over the years. Even Russian Hobbit doesn't move me so much and I'm fluent Russian for god's sake.
