Spot on!

Would I compare Kevin James to Jackie Gleason? The show seems fitting as any

I feel like that’s been the motto for tv mike and molly is the same way some fat regular dude with a blue collar job marries to a hott strong woman.

@@butchreed5764 Kerry Heffernan was a fox, but Melissa McCarthy…not so much.

1000%

RIP Jerry Stiller, the world is now less funny withouth you

My all-time favorite sitcom! Like most shows of the 90's, the cast was near perfect. Kevin James' opening scenes where he normally would argue with Arthur over something trivial(like who gets the toy from the cereal box) were priceless.

Classic episode

Wait He's dead?

@@GothMermaidGamer Yeah

It was never abusive. That sort of talk started with comedians and some morons in their audience took it seriously

@@Contemplativeman101 No need for that kind of ableism. People are entitled to their interpretations. I also encourage balancing interpretation against intent but you don't know what lives people have lived, if seeing a dude screaming at his wife, which in most of the references and clips I've seen is all that's shown, not her retort, that's valid. Carrying trauma, hell just being uncomfortable at a dude losing his temper, doesn't make them less intelligent. Remember the clips most people see are short and one sided.

It.. It really ain't that deep fam And "moron" is not an ableist term wtf

@@GothMermaidGamer No kidding!

@@Shindai "Ableism"? Really, dude? Go outside. You've been on tumblr too long.

If you’ve seen any mid 2000’s movie parody, you pretty much already know what Stan Helsing is.

@@comixproviderftw_02 Easily the worst one from that time.

@Al Tee That might be the most accurate and depressing description for the movie that I've ever read.

@Al Tee I think not another teen movie and maybe scary movie 1 only ones that did it right. Not teen movie was great still holds up today

@Al Tee agreed

The first one yes. Second one... we don't talk about that

Thank you! I love watching it when everyone else is dead asleep, my wife hates it.

What a random ass thing to bring up.

@Bradyn Not if you watched the vid @12:34.

Jackie Gleason is underrated. He was incredible.

If the network had had its way, it would have kept going, but Gleason chose to end it rather than see it decline in quality.

There were sketches done later on for The Jackie Gleason Show. Pert Kelton also played Alice at one point.

@@MegaMagicdog The girl that played Jackie Gleason’s wife is low-key nice. Js.

Well, it ran from 1951 thru 1957. Only one season was done on film, though. Gleason thought the other seasons--- filmed off of a TV monitor --- were of too poor quality to be released. They eventually were, though. Then there was the Miami Beach Musical series of episodes. "Trip To Europe", etc...

No,it wasn't.

“You put your tongue in my mouth.” “That’s a French kiss.” “You said you were from Nebraska.”

do a remake and have a 70s family in a 90s neighborhood and living in a 2020 world.

Not to mention that movie had the great Christopher Daniel Barnes!

Thank you for your service

What’s the matter, not privy to an empty, affirmative-action cash grab? You’re gonna love the new The Wonder Years. LoL.

It’s bizarre that the one significant white character is the bad guy. There’s a word for movies with this sort of racial aspect at play.

It's awful

It certainly would have worked better as a television series. Maybe stating out trying too hard to be a modernized version of the original, but eventually finding its footing and becoming something all its own. Plus, I give more credit to this film than any of the wannabe Brady Bunch films that we collectively forgot. They can't all be Addams Family or Get Smart and toy around with the concept so that it fits as a movie, but thankfully there's only a handful of them that are like Beverly Hillbillies.

It was kinda around the same time we had alot of stupid movies made out of old tv shows.....Still not sure why we needed to take a show like Starsky and Hutch and turn it into a god awful stupid comedy...KInda surprised there has never been a Gilligan's Island garbage movie or a Three's Company garbage movie just cause hey they were popular in the 70s or 80s

They were a popular subject matter because one of them was successful so they had to keep cashing in off of it. I forget which one based of a 70's action series actually made money was was decent enough, but that's the only reason we got stuff like Starsky and Hutch. Maybe it was Dukes of Hazard, but I barely remember that one existing. Obviously, when one did good, studios just bought the rights to any old TV show to make it into a movie, and then when they stopped making money and the option was running out, they just threw stuff together. Happened again recently with 21 Jump Street, and then we got a lame CHIPS movie and a Baywatch movie that wasn't nearly as funny as some of the stupid crap that was in the actual series.

I think it's a strange case that it somehow should and shouldn't at the same time. It feels like they did set out to do a Honeymooners movie, but at the same time they just made a movie, threw in a few Honeymooners homages so the name recognition would make sense. Then again, it begs the question, why would you need a remake of a 1950's sitcom that was revolutionary at a time when they were pushing things like "Leave it to Beaver" as the overly idealistic America that didn't really exist? What made Honeymooners so special WAS that it was subversive. A heavy set, lower middle class blue collar worker in a run down looking apartment who constantly loudly fights with a wife that fights back harder? None of that picket fence proud papa being the master of the home with a respectful, but subservient family stuff here. But in between Honeymooners the TV show and Honeymooners the movie remake, sitcoms changed greatly. The 70's had quite a few shows about disillusionment. Everything ever made is an encapsulation of the time it was made in. TV show or movie, it would have been just another comedy that would probably get overlooked.

It's easy to forget that Gabrielle Union is 48. Shes been 30-ish for 20 years.

@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep Still remember her in Ten Things I Hate About You. She and Julia Stiles were both insanely hot crushes for me

That Hucklebuck had me WEAK when I was younger watching them Honeymooners marathons on New Years 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He does stupid comedies when he can be infinitely more charming and funny being in dramatic/comedy-drama roles. Even in Carlito’s Way, he makes such an impression as Benny Blanco from the Bronx.

@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 he’s a good actor but I think he just has such bad choices in films that his acting gets severely overlooked kinda like Adam Sandler great in dramas but just isn’t all that funny even in his own films

His one-man stage works are the best showcases of his talent by far

Honestly have wondered this, because I struggle to think of another actor this good in movies this bad, except for arguably Michael Caine, who probably just never said no to anything and so was in both the best and worst movies.

Chef kinda calls him out on this.

Definitely agree on a Bewitched video, especially since they just announced another reboot.

@@BaranoffIsaac might as well talk about Parents too, poor Randy Quaid. Lost his damn mind Yes, I understand we're talking about Belushi movies, but I'm talking about other unfairly maligned or forgotten 80s comedies

He has done a review of Quick Change on his Almost Cult Classics The Podcast KZfaq channel

@@BaranoffIsaac You don't think they'd lose their minds if White people did a Jeffersons or Good Times or Cosby Show movie? I think there'd be absolute pandemonium if that happened. It never would because it would be seen as racist.

I'm Black and I speak for myself when I say that the casting for this movie is the MAIN reason that I didn't want to see it. I don't like it when properties are whitewashed and it's no different when they are blackwashed, or tokenized. Cool Small Wonder shoutout by the way, lol.

Hello ,You

Most people under 100 years old have never seen a vaudeville show. And no, that’s not what additional punchlines are. It’s a style of filmmaking that’s become popular usually based on improvisation of the actors and then building the film in the edit. Toppers, or punchlines based on the punchline, should be funnier than the original punchline.

As a writer, i know this tends to happen when you new writers are brought in after pervious writers have left in an attempt to "fix it up". We can tell this probably happened on this film by how the writing credits are printed. @2:31 . "&" means multiple writers worked on it together as a team and "and" means the writer came in separately. So it probably started with Danny Jacobson and went down the ladder. Each person or team reading the previous draft and saying "I'll make that joke funny and put my own stamp on it. Your welcome." It's a lack of confidence, not in your own writing skills, but in the skills of the writer before you. I'm not saying that's exactly what happened on this film, but I'm sure that these four writers were never in the same room working on this together. And that's not even mentioning any uncredited rewrites this might of had, or input by the producers, directors or even the actors themselves. But in the end, the editor could have fixed many of these issues just as Joe did, quite simply, with the joke @10:52.

21st century comedy in a nutshell. So glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

again i scroll down and guess who i see you as in HELLO YOU !! mho you are the best channel awesome producer as in you aint a fart sniffing self absorbed asshole

"I'm gonna barbeque yo ass in molasses!"

How bout no remake at all?

OOH yes. That'd be a good one. The Odd Couple as a concept had basically been milked dry by that point by Two and a Half Men. So the reboot felt redundant.

He did it!

@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep yeah, it was great!!

Because like the original, you need talented writers to make it work.

@@cityhawk - There's not very many good movie writers in Hollywood anymore.

At least with white actors playing the parts, it would have felt more like a Honeymooners remake. Race swapping never works. If they were going to deviate so far from the source material they should have called this movie Dog Daze.

I've only seen clips, but goddamn was it awful. Maybe I need to see more but it just seemed like a raunchier two and a half men.

@@thankyoujodi Funny part about that is that Louis CK on Opie & Anthony was shaming networks for keeping shows like Two And A Half Men on as soon as Lucky Louie was canceled

the only thing good about agent cody banks is his female handler. what a fox.

He seems like an actor who could’ve taken a better serious turn, but stays with stupid comedy. Needs a better agent?

The Honeymooners came before The Flintstones, right?

The Flintstones was based off of The Honeymooners, just like most of Hanna-Barbera's other cartoon characters were based off of real life people.

@@AMReed8 You're right.

There was one in Portugal called Nico D’Obra in the early/mid 90s that I used to watch, pretty sure the episodes are on KZfaq. Also a I Love Lucy type show called Marina Marina.

Polish version worked because how close to home it all felt. People just adapted from Socialism to Capitalism and poor people just wanted to get better life in any crazy idea possible.

How old are you ?

The New Odd Couple with Ron Glass and Demond Wilson. The acting was good and stayed true to the television series, but it went almost word for word with the Randall/Klugman version. If they retitled it and wrote original scripts, it could have had a chance.

"'Black' Odd Couple" Yeah i see how you may not like these movies.

It's tied with Stuart Saves His Family (in my opinion).

wastes excellent performances by Charles Rocket and Dave Foley!

Ok, but you have to admit there are several scenes in It's Pat which are comedy gold., even if the plot is terrible

@@rosebyanyname isn't Ween in it, too?

The film where Quentin Tarantino had an uncredited role as a script doctor

From British English to American English! I love Frank Oz, but the original isn’t very good, either

There's a forgotten failures episode about Addams Family Reunion that he did last year

That movie apparently has a really disturbing gag involving Marcia getting hit on by Secret Service agents. I really wanna know who thought that was funny.

It's been the setup for shows since day one. Try again, without the persecution complex.

@@paulheap1982 lol OK weirdo

@@ottoandersson2216 yeah, the retort of someone who's wrong.

@@paulheap1982 😂

@@ottoandersson2216 and again, keep it up. 😅

The racism of the 1950s america being used as the backdrop for modern romcom is actually hilarious

@@petermoore7796 You mean the Democrat run Deep South. This show was set in NYC.

@@AlfredFJones1776 Uhh...Racism existed everywhere in America in the '50's. The only difference was that discrimination was legally mandated in the South.

@@BiffGreggle Proof? Because I have proof that says otherwise.

The first remake of the Odd Couple was just a recycled script run. I think there was a writer's strike so they literally pulled out the original OC scripts and just had Wilson and Glass read them word for word. One I specifically remember was the IRS episode in which Felix gets Oscar to take care of his taxes and finds out the government owed him since he paid alimony (taxable income - therefore deductible!)

@@MegaMagicdog - The only remake show I saw was *Payne with John Larroquette.* I liked Larroquette from his *Night Court* days. But Payne was a chore to watch. Maybe I saw 3 or 4. Maybe all 9. I don't remember since *it was a failure. Best forgotten.*

Hey, thanks!

That’s impossible to actually discern from this reaction video.
