I was surprised not many of them knew Sister Act. It's an absolute classic. I've not even seen the full movie and I'm not American and I knew immediately what it was.
I don't remember anyone making a big deal about that line until a couple of years ago. The one "Friday" line everyone used to quote was "you just got knocked the FUCK out!".
I never saw Tommy Boy i am not american but i am born in late 80th also didn't knew 9 to 5 80th movies but its funny cause i like Dolly Parton song 9-5 :D.
I know I was born in 1994 and I know bloody movies that came out 20 or 30 years before I was born, just because a movie was released before you were alive doesnt mean that you can't see it or hear about it, teenagers nowadays only care about things that are relevant at the moment and I uncultured about what was popular in decades past and I think that it's pretty stupid because for me even though movies and songs came out before I was born I still grew up with it it's like these people don't have parents, because the reason that I know a lot of 80s music is because my Mum and Dad listened to it when I was a kid and I know a lot of 90s and 80s movies because I grew up watching them
I was born in '86, so I knew all of them, but I couldn't think of Friday. Ace Ventura is my favorite. Pet Detective and When Nature Calls are two of my favorite movies ever.
Jessica Delisha that kind of shocked me haha, I'm from 96 and I've seen the movie a few time and even if they wouldn't show whoopi i would still recognize it
I was born in 1977and I have seen movies made before I was born. They are called classics. Branch out a little dude. Not everything that is great was made after the year 2000.
I was born in '73 and have seen it all even Charlie Chaplin or Gone with the Wind but I have to tell you, movies and TV shows where our primary form of entertainment back in the days and a new movie released on TV 1 or 2 years (or even 5) after it was released in cinemas and commercials where not so preminent.
I'm about to be 30 and I've never seen either of those either. I'm kind of surprised since Ace Ventura apparently came out the same year as The Mask which I've seen dozens of times.
I think its weird that they say the 90s try hard. Have you seen the comedy movies now? They have to go WAY over the top just to try to get someone to smile. Nothing is original and I feel like I hear the same joke over and over.
I'm curious: what is your pick for the best Coen Brothers Comedy? They are most known for drama (or dark Comedy). The only movies of theirs that I can think of as being straight-up comedies are: Oh brother Where art thou, The Big Lebowski, and Burn After Reading. The actual definition of a comedy is a story in which the protagonist achieves his goals at the end, which is definitely not the Coen Borthers' style, so in those terms, they don't really do comedy.
assmane999 Burn After Reading is a black comedy. Comedy implies a work of entertainment with main emphasis on jokes and satires and comes in various forms and subgenres. "Happy ending" does define a comedy. Raising Arizona.
chung2F5 Yeah, I agree, I don't think a comedy has to have a Happy ending to be a comedy. I have not seen raising Arizona, so I can't compare, but Big Lebowski is a classic
+CsykKrit Oh thanks my brain could not comprehend such complex concept. Thank god there are intelectuals like you to explain things to lesser human beings like me 😃
MarkerInTheSand Lol, yes. Big Lebowski became a cult hit years later, an example of a movie becoming overrated because revisionists decided to ignore the paint by numbers plot. It's not even one of the Coen Brothers' best films.
Hilarious. Friday and Tommy Boy over The Big Lebowski? I bet you thought Superbad and Juno were better than There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men back in '07. Or maybe that Creed was a better boxing movie than Raging Bull. Or that Black Sheep is a better film than The Godfather. Get outta here with that bullshit.
I think these videos are created mainly to make mostly older people angry that these kids don't know anything!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr! And it's working!! They make me angry!!
I agree, they asking the wrong generation about movies they didn't even grow up watching. Most of them wasn't even born until the late until the late 90s smh should ask the 80s & 70s babies about these films and they will know
I wish people would stop saying "I was born then I wouldn't know about this." - . - Like you can't freaking learn about and enjoy something before your time?
I like how at the end they mention that the 90's had a different sense of humour, as if they were watching some black and white minstrel movie from the 20s.
Dude, I hated There's Something About Mary in the 90s. It's just a style of comedy still done today that is only appealing to certain people. That Tommy Boy joke was done in Harold and Kumar. This stuff isn't extinct.
I wish they would stop using the "I wasn't even born until..." excuse for not knowing movies. As if a movie is only ever shown in the year it comes out then never again. It's ridiculous.
Good point. I bet every one of them would've correctly guessed The Wizard of Oz if shown a clip of it and most of their grandparents probably aren't as old as that movie.
Apparently, kids today are so narrow-minded, that they are unable to identify with, or relate to, anyone or anything, that's not exactly like themselves, and regard anything existing outside of their minuscule safe-space bubble, as either irrelevant, or offensive to their particular sensibilities. Yay, progress!
And the second one was better in my opinion. I think the one kid who said he saw Ace Ventura but didn’t remember that scene probably only saw the second one.
ChimpManZ1264 I get that. I'm just shocked they haven't seen some of these movies. My brother was born in '97 we've seen all of these movies together multiple times. My brother loves Billy Madison.
I was actually born in 1991 so I'm 25 now & yeah, still never heard of that movie. Like I said, I'll probably try watching it someday, just looks ok though, doesn't look as funny as the other movies listed here in my opinion :)
that girl got it right, you can't be from LA and not have seen Friday. I remember buying those double sided DVDs back in the day, with the whole trilogy and I think "all about the Benjamin's" too.
Ace Venutra tho!!! Literally as soon as she said Ace I was like PET DETECTIVE! Then i proceeded to say every line in the scene! lmao That scene and the 'Heinskitsvelvet! I am trainer of dolphin!' are the 2 best scenes in that movie!
Uncle Stepback I think they meant slapstick which they wouldn't be wrong. Seth is not the standard of comedy movies for today. he really is an outsider more than anything else
Obvious _Product_Placement yeah I think shock humor rules this decade so far though. neighbors, hangover, 21 jumpstreet and some others off the top of my head.
I love how they think by being born in the late 90s they won't know anything... I was born in 1997 and I knew them all... I also know 70s and 80s films really well :)
A classic to me is a movie like Star Wars, The Lion King, Toy Story, Lord of the rings ect. movies that every person knows. Sister acts? Friday? Tommy boy? Only people who has some kind of memory connected to those movies define them as classics
they are classic 90s movies, simple as that, it doesn't stop them from being classics just because you have never heard of them. There are plenty of classics from the 60s that I've never heard of but that doesn't stop them from being classics!
