Turns out Peter Dinklage has actually been on his knees the whole time too, he's just really good at it. If he stands up he's like 6'2"

This seems like it’s one of those trailers in the beginning of tropic thunder, but somehow it became a real movie.

Imagine a movie where two little actors play one ''regular'' sized person. Now that would be something.

A movie were Matthew Mcconaughey plays a Jewish dwarf.

"It suddenly occurred to me that it's a genetic thing." Scoot: It suddenly occurred to you? What did you think it was? A curse?? I lost my shit. X'D

This film comes across to me as one of the most misguided attempts at an Oscar bait movie ever.

i love the fake trivia on imdb about this film: "Gary Oldman often made his famous moose soup for the cast and crew and insisted everyone eat it instead of the provided catering. He claimed it awoke the "machines within" needed for his once in a life time performance. " "Gary Oldham said he was inspired for this role by his favorite musicians Garth Brooks and the Four Stoke Gang Band. " "In this film Peter Dinklage drank so much water he became the official water champ. He was soft at first but got it done in 3 long chugs. "

"Dude, wanna watch a movie with Gary Oldman, Peter Dinklage, Matthew McConaughey and Patricia Arquette?" "woah, 3 oscarwinners and a goldenglobe winner? Must have been hell of an expensive filming. I bet it's awesome though!" well...

It really isn’t the same without that Asian kid from Thirteen Reasons Why popping up Really ruins the whole connected universe vibe

I remember as a teenager, saying to myself "I love Gary Oldman, I will watch all his films." This is the one that made me slow down.

We NEED the sequel. Kate's character falls in love with Brad Garrett (6'8" in real life) who is the shortest guy in a family of people with gigantism

matthew bright also directed a batshit insane 1996 thriller called freeway in which reese witherspoon goes up against a necrophiliac serial killer played by keifer sutherland and along the way meets a heroin addicted lesbian brittany murphy. if you can believe it, it's more insane than this comment makes it sound. highly recommend

My favorite adum and pals, and its all thanks to scoot. We love you man.

I felt this one was genuinely pissing Adam off.

In the scene where Matthew McConaughey was dancing with those children, you missed a golden opportunity to make a "he keeps getting older, they stay the same age" joke

The finale to Game of Thrones should have been Peter Dinklage standing up and being like 6'5"

“Why are- some letters are bigger” “What part of cool font do you not understand?”

Huh, I was expecting this video to be shorter.

This is a fascinating production, though. Kate Beckinsale agreed to do this movie for scale if she could wear her lucky hat, but the wife of the producer was like "I don't like the hat. It has to go!" and the fight over it resulted in half the crew leaving. The director was so pissed at how the producers edited the movie, he flew to the Sundance premier to get up on stage and just hammer the film and the interference of the idiot producers before getting thrown out. He purposely removed his name from the film because he hated it, the writing credit is actually his pseudonym, but couldn't remove himself as director. I really wish they'd release the director's cut because apparently the vibe is completely different. I think the concept is interesting, but putting Oldman on his knees was ridiculous.

"Time is shorter for long people." -Albert Einstein

(Man punches hole in the wall after finding out his kid's a gnome) Yep, this relationship can only end well.

So they were looking for a good actor to play their main little person character and they also casted one of the best little person actors in the film but only to play a side character

As a guy standing on his knees I am deeply offended by the way you guys talk about us small people.

Fun Fact: Leonardo da Vinci was called da Vinci because he was an illegitimate child and thus, wasn't given a last name.

thank you scoot for suggesting this one. it's a classic.

Why is Adum upset about Gary Oldman constantly on his knees? That sounds like every gay man's fantasy

Gary Oldman’s arms are longer than Peter Dunkey’s body

The easiest fix to this film would be to make McConaughey's character afraid of his child having a hard life and being bullied, maybe even show some of this happening to his brother in the past. It would give a real, legitimate, reason for why his character would be so insecure and have these fears even though HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IS FILLED WITH DWARVES.

The thing with the pregnancy test and the coffee...just wtf? WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT?!?!?

Doctor: It's gonna be a big commitment Me: ....is it?

Him screaming "I'M A DWARF" is the best thing ever.

scoot always brought such a great energy to every video he was in, they will be forever missed.

How Gary Oldman was snubbed for an Oscar for this greatly written role I’ll never understand. #OscarsSoTall

Leonardo had no surname in the modern sense, "da Vinci" simply meaning "of Vinci": his full birth name was "Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci", meaning "Leonardo, son of (Mes)ser Piero from Vinci."

"At the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, where the 90-minute version screened, Bright criticized the film and lambasted the producers for re-editing his film, leading them to drag him off stage" This film is the gift that keeps on giving

Since he’s on his knees and basically doesn’t have shins as this character, all I can see if Gary Oldman as Cotton Hill

Fun fact: Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant trait and can only be inherited by a parent with the condition.

Is Gary Oldman the Asian guy from 13 Reasons Why?

This feels like an Adam Sandler Comedy minus Sandler.

This movie proves that there are no small parts, just small actors.

Aah yes, Matthew Mcconaughey's quintessential role before True Detective came and ruined it.

I had no idea Anthony Fantano was the voice of the “damn boy he thick” meme until now

"Gary Oldman often made his famous moose soup for the cast and crew and insisted everyone eat it instead of the provided catering. He claimed it awoke the "machines within" needed for his once in a life time performance." This is the first trivia fact about this movie on IMDB.

Tiptoes, the best toe movie since Once Upon A Time in Hollywood

3:56 Spanish actor cameo, one of our worst actors, Santiago Segura. This film keeps getting better lol

So the sympathetic dwarf is played by a regular sized person on his knees, and the annoying pretentious dwarf is played by an actual dwarf actor..... Not good optics.

Why didn't they just have Peter Dinklage play Gary Oldman's role?😓

These three have such great chemistry they can make any shitty movie seem funny af. Plus the editing is hilarious

Peter Dinklage has just the worst accents whenever it’s not his own accent.

*I didn't get Tim and Eric 's awesome show's fake trailers until I saw the trailer for tiptoes, where it hyped Gary Oldman's performance like it means something to the movie.*

👏 *KERMIT LEGS* 👏 👏 *KERMIT LEGS* 👏

I worked at a gas station and a van pulled up and 6 midgets came in... one said “ invasion of the midgets!” My coworker and I giggled.... so yeah, some of them at least don’t care.

"I dunno what this movie is really" "It's a movie" off to a great start

rewatching one of my favorite adum and pals episodes. i'm really gonna miss scoot

I know a guy who worked on prosthetics for this movie and even he makes fun of it

The font was like that to be a visual representation of little people and normal-sized people! ItS sYmbOliSm.

I find them making fun of shit films so satisfying I can legit fall asleep to this

p dink: "I think the term 'little people' is demeaning" scoot: "now we gotta go Tiny Monster"

"what did you think it was a curse" literally spat laughing

WTF!? That guy at 3:56 is Santiago Segura. For those who don't know him, his is a very famous spanish actor that also does a lot of small roles in Guillermo del Toro movies (he is in Blade II, Hellboy and Pacific Rim).

“What did you think it was? A curse?” Fucking killed me 😂😂

Thanks for all the hard work, Adam. Appreciate the TONS of content you give us. Adum & Pals is always a successful format and one of my personal favorites.

Is it intentional that the movie is called Tiptoes but Gary Oldman spends the whole thing on his knees?

imdb trivia: Gary Oldman kept his jeans extremely high and tight for the entire film in order to create the illusion of a small person.

"The classic jew Matthew McConaughey"

I briefly met Gary Oldman when he came to visit the University I attend, I wish I had remembered about this film at the time I can't imagine its one he likes to be reminded of.

Leonardo da Vinci's last name was actually Dicaprio

Matthew McConaughey's dad was The Man From Another Place in Twin Peaks, and Gary Oldman was the tall guy from real life

Wouldn't it have been easier to cast Peter Dinklage as the brother?

if you want to know something weirder: Gary Oldman's role in this was a year before his role as Sirius in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (his first hp movie)

15:00 "Mcconaughey in a yamarcle is way more expensive than Gary Oldman on his knees"

4:16 this « this is so weird… » gets me every time 😂

As a woman, that part "Can you LOVE a baby? They don't have a personality." I laughed pretty hard. That is a hilarious point. Though, I don't like kids, so that's likely a good reason why.

This summer ... Matthew McConaughey is .. "The Tallest Dwarf" ...

14:37 it’s the small man from the red room in twin peaks!

Props to the editor for keeping the zooms in the same aspect ratio as the film

What’s funny is that they seemed to have an actual dwarf body double for back shots of Oldman, but they still used him anyway!

"You don't have to love your kid until it's at least 6" This has to be the best quote I have heard so far all year!

That "I'm a dwarf!" From Matthew McConaughey hit exactly the same as Eric Andre yelling "Hey! I'm a car too you know."

Best Matthew Mcconaughey performance since Texas Chainsaw Massacre: the next generation

This is insane, I had no idea this existed.

Scoot really had to just flex on all of us with that spicy quick pronunciation of Chiwetel

Scott is one of the funniest people in the entire internet. "Little Monsters", LOL!

Adum and Pals is actually the best thing on the internet Also cross is a normal expression in England. Your mockery of the word made me cross.

this movie feels like its gaslighting me. please correct me if i'm wrong, i only took grade 12 bio and that was a few years ago... but i don't think matthew's character's kid CAN inherit dwarfism from him. or at the very least, he can't inherit it from *only* him as far as inherited dwarfism goes, there are recessive and a dominant types. say his parents both have the dominant type of dwarfism. Well, Matt is not a dwarf, obviously, and since this is a dominant gene, he therefore doesn't have the right allele and cannot pass it on. the kid will be average sized. Say his parents both have the recessive type of dwarfism. well... they can't, because then they only have the recessive alleles to pass on, meaning all their kids have to be dwarfs. And again, Matthew is not a dwarf. Okay, maybe one has the dominant type and one has the recessive. (there are technically more cases here, but they basically all boil down to this one). he has a 50/50 shot of not being a dwarf of the dominant kind so that part checks out. since only 1 parent has the recessive kind of dwarfism, then matt can't have the recessive kind, but has a 100% chance of having the recessive dwarf trait. he wouldn't be a dwarf in this case, but he could pass on the trait. still, you need 2 alleles to present with the recessive type of dwarfism, meaning the only way the kid would have it is... if the gf also had the recessive trait! Which is very unlikely! and even then, they both have to pass it down which they each have a 50% chance of doing, meaning there's still there's only a 25% chance of the kid having it!!! I was sort of operating under the assumption that the characters just didn't understand genetics so that's why they were freaking out. and then when the baby was born he would be average sized and the movie would end there, but then the baby had dwarfism and i literally burst out laughing. its is extremely unlikely that the kid would have it, an even if he does, it is equally the gf's gene's fault so she can't really be mad at him for not telling her about his family having dwarfism (by the way, its most likely matthew family all have the recessive type of dwarfism, because even though the dominant type is much much more common, if they were all the dominant type they would have a lot more normal sized people in the family. 2 people with the dominant type of dwarfism have a 25% chance of having a normal sized kid, while 2 people with the recessive type HAVE to have a kid with dwarfism.) (one thing is still bugging me though. based on the symptoms gary's character has with his joint pain and stuff, i would have assumed he has the recessive type of dwarfism, which he can only have if either both his parents have the recessive type, which we have established is impossible, or if one or both of his parents has the dominant type of dwarfism along with the trait for the recessive type of dwarfism, which like, seems just really unlikely) Anyways I've spent an unholy amount of time on this

Oscar Winner Matthew McConaughey Oscar Winner Patricia Arquette Oscar Winner Gary Oldman

Adum & Pals is very quickly becoming my favorite show on KZfaq.

"i dont think actors should be allow to play caracthers that arent themselfs" *Billy Porter intensifies*

The 'buy a little person' joke.. and at half price. This was the only time i ever chuckled watching this channel. Kudos to that dude.

It's the little people that make this movie work.

In spite of how hilarious and terrible their characters are, that little moment between Peter Dinklage and Patricia Arquette where they're at the park and he asks where she's from, it's a genuinely romantic and sweet moment. Like maybe my love of Peter Dinklage is clouding my judgment, but I liked his delivery there. God, just make Peter Dinklage a romantic lead!

This should’ve been directed by terry Gilliam

So they made a Broadway musical based on Shrek, and for Lord Farquaad, the actor does the entire show on his knees. In that show, it's funny and clever stagecraft. Here, it's also funny.

I'm always hyped for these

Rip scoot. This is one of my favorite watch alongs

I totally understand the sentiment of wanting to be very rich just to have each room to be themed.

16:03 " SAY IT. HE'S A DWARF! _I'M_ A *DWARF!*

da Vinci is effectively a surname, its just not a family name. It is totally "his name."

"That's why they call it a boombox" -- I was ROARING laughing.

There's a lot of small people jokes here. All of which are below the belt.
