ghostbusters but it’s just egon being my favorite character (pt. 1) 

He’s canonically one of the first people to ever say “Ur mom” as an insult

Seeing Egon Spengler, usually the reserved scientist more about smarts than emotion, lose it, shouting "YOUR MOTHER!", and charging ferociously at Walter Peck while the others desperately hold him back is still one of the greatest moments in this movie.

Egon was the hottest Ghostbuster and no-one can convince me otherwise

If you think about it, Egon is probably as smart as Tony Stark, but operating on a teacher's salary.

I love how Harold Ramis improvised Egon’s line ‘that would’ve worked if you hadn’t stopped me’. Shows that Harold didn’t just PLAY a genius, he WAS a genius. Res in Peace, Mr. Ramis.

Not enough people talk about how Egon runs away from the librarian ghost backwards. He looks like he's dancing !!

I love how he was trying to make his bed, while trying to find his glasses and get dressed at the same time😂 me too man, me too

I love how all the mains were such chads they had to cast the 6'1" Sigorney Weaver as the love interest to keep the normal dimorphic proportions.

he's awkward he's shy - thats why i love him

He's an adorable nerd, how can you not love him?

I love how many folks are rediscovering the badassery and general endearing awesomeness of Dr. Egon Spengler. He's been my most cherished comfort character for about 35 years, now.

I adore that Egon Spengler's brain has an away message.

Me: *sees him hugging janine* *"You wish that was you huh?"*

I love the little nuances of his performance, I’ve seen these films a million times but didn’t notice half this stuff until it was highlighted, the awkward grin and twitchy eyelids during the commercial scene had me in stitches 😂😂😂

Janine's psychic ability predicted Egons death.

the way he runs from the libray ghost gets me every time

I like how hes awkward but not rude or totally socially inept, hes still polite and cordial

Him screaming “YOUR MOTHER!” Always gets me 😂

This man is my hero. He’s so smart, even his hobbies are intellectual. He proclaimed that print was dead decades before ebooks!

egon will always be my favorite. he’s awkward, has some of the best lines, and of course, adorable 🥰

3:40 LOL Everyone is Drinking a Budweiser and here's Egon Drinking a Can of Coca Cola!

5:27 the way his eyes and face went back when he said “i looked at the trap ray” 😂😂😂 gotta love egon!

Egon sure ate a lot of junk food. ROFL!

“Listen! Do you smell something?”, is an underrated, line.

While it's not in this clip list, I love the short scene during the Hotel search where Egon uses the PK meter, scans up the butler, then gives him a little poke to check he's not a ghost before moving on.

8:22 *I just love how he moves his head in a dramatic way*

the way he runs away from the ghost is so funny cause why is he skedaddling away

.Egon: I looked at the trap Ray! I swear Egon had the funniest lines in the movies that’s why I love him so much 😂😂😂

the size of the crush i have on this man i s2g

Egon lunging after Peck while cursing his mother is so truly awesome.

The hand gestures when he tells Venkman how much to charge the hotel for catching Slimer.😁

“I feel like the floor of the taxi cab” Damn I didn’t pick this up when I was a kid.

Even though it's not Egon who said it, "WE CAME, WE SAW...WE KICKED ITS ASS!" and, "That's a big Twinkie," two best lines that make me crack up. RIP Harold Ramis.

5:40 I watched this movie growing up and it wasn't until about 5 years ago that I noticed Egon giving Venkman hand signals for what to charge.

*"NICE SHOOTIN' TEX!!!!"* - the other funny Bill Murray line. I love this. Egon is such a quiet character, you really have to catch his mannerisms and expressions. 5:15 This look on his face is classic!

I love how Egon honestly did not give a damn half the time lmao

I didn't noticed egon winked at the cam in the commercial until this vid, thank you.

I am 51yo. I saw Ghostbusters on opening weekend in June 1984. I loved it so much I saw it three more times that weekend (I stole $ from my foster mom's purse). It has been and always will be THE stranded on an island and can only watch one movie repeatedly movie! RIP Harold Ramos. Afterlife was an awesome tribute to you my hysterically funny friend💜

Egon is my favorite character of all time!! I love that because he is smart, serious and cute.

Egon’s legit my favorite ghostbuster. The man is an icon.

Only Egon would call an almost perfect stack of books hot

I didn't notice until someone pointed it out that Egon was telling Peter what figures to charge for capturing Slimer

Egons most iconic line "it would be bad"

2:26 *tip tap* “this building should be condemned”

2:40 That slow head shake tho, lol I never spotted that

4:00 his face tho

Rip Harold, thank you for being our favorite ghostbuster ❤️

Is it just me or do any of y'all notice that Egon is the only one who doesn't DRINK in the entire franchise? I just see him drink coca cola. Smart, in case you have a job off the bat. I actually lived in the same hometown as harold for a little bit, when my family had a roofing company. I got to meet him and speak to him in person as the store was right across from my school. He was heading there one day and stopped to talk to me. That man was one of the kindest and sweetest actors I've talked to as well as the funniest. ❤ RIP Harold Ramis

there's not a single brain cell among them, even egon and I love him. honestly when the brain cell stops by for a visit, winston has all the rights to it.

You know if they made this movie now Egon would be like Sheldon Cooper. Egon is probably my favorite genius in fiction because he is so relatable.

4:07 I didn't realize how much egon and phoebe looked alike until now ;-;

He is adorable

This really is just a compilation of every time Egon is on screen and frankly I love it

Well, I love all of them but..... man he's the best and EHM-.... ✨hottest✨? 🤣

I never noticed how Egon gestures the prices with his fingers to venkman

I collect spores, molds and fungus 😂

Egon is quite simply the best Ghostbuster

"Listen! Do you smell something?"

I love all four guys, they had a great big personalities and it's what made them unique! The brain, voice, heart and muscle :)

How can you not love him he’s adorable!!! Long live the king! 👑❤️

First crush I ever had! And still do! Love Egon! 😍☺️🥰😘

Fun fact, the firehouse that the Ghostbusters HQ is set in during the movie is an actual Firehouse in new york. It's called The Hook and ladder eight. They even have the Ghostbusters 2 sign hanging up over the entryway for a long time. Recently the sign was damaged and some fans started to go fund me to create a new Ghostbusters 1 symbol to replace the damaged one. The goal was $1,000. Last time I checked the goal had been reached but that was last year during april. I don't know if a new symbol has been made or if it's even been hung up over the firehouse. Still really cool that they had the original Ghostbusters 2 sign from the movie hung up over the original firehouse.

Ray was always my favorite Ghostbuster because I identified with his excitability and energy, but Egon remains an amazing icon. A lot of newer viewers only say they can identify with Peter, and I never really understood why. Maybe it’s because he’s so front and center (because it’s Bill Freakin’ Murray) but even as a young kid, I never thought I’d any Ghostbuster as being lesser in service of the story just because they weren’t as front and center. Having grown up, I now know how much Harold and Dan contributed to the story, and although Peter is front and center, he’s only accentuating the ideas of Dan, Harold, and Ivan. Dan was the idea man, Ivan was the guy to reign in the chaos, and Harold… Harold made it funny. Without Egon, there would be no Ghostbusters.

6:01 leave him alone, clearly he is uncoordinated and has an invisible bicycle

He's my comfort character too

The CAPTIONS-I was SCREAMING…THANK YOU FOR THIS ♥️♥️♥️

It's crazy how this video showed me all the things I missed whenever I'd watch this film! Thank you for compiling all of this. ^_^

That's what I loved so much about ghostbusters, you rooted for and loved all the main characters, Egon was cool in his own way and even as a kid I thought that was fanastic.

Egon is my favorite as well. He’s the brains behind everything

This is basically every time he's on screen and I'm all for it

He is the smartest, hottest, cutest and daddiest one. Love him.

one of my favorite details about egon is just food choices. always junk food. often horribly sweet. even preferring soda over beer. stuff like that. subverts the small trope of the "smart character" always being a stickler about health. this also includes the part in the 2008(?) video game where he says he's only been sleeping about 14 hours a day LMAO (and you can see a whole ass coffee pot -- and more junk food -- on his nightstand)

I love Egon Spangler so much and Rip Harold Ramis. 🙏🏻😭

This is why he’s still my favourite Ghostbuster (still love you Dan, Ernie & Bill), RIP Harold Ramis

He's been one of my comfort characters ever since I first watched Ghostbusters. He must be a beautiful angel. Also my two favorite parts: 'Where's the keymaster?' *that look that says oh no* 'sh*t.' 'YOUR MOTHER!' *angrily charging at Walter Peck* ( Best moment in the whole ghostbusters movies ) Have a nice day

Drilling holes in heads in antiquity DID work, it’s called trepanation and helped relieve pressure on the brain due to excess swelling from trauma or illness before humans mastered complex surgery and medications became more widely available. And the chemistry among these 3 comedians is unparalleled. There is nothing quite like OG Ghostbusters.

They did him the absolute opposite of dirty in Afterlife. They in fact, did him clean.

my ultimate comfort character 🥰

It’s fun to see all the little details you normally miss by watching the film in its entirety. Thanks

Man Harold Ramis is such a good actor, so much little details he put into Egon that I missed lol and I've seen this film so many times. Love the way he was so relaxed and composed after the bell rang for the first job while Venkman and Ray were going crazy lol

when Peter talks about Egon trying to drill a hole thru his own head, it looks like Ray didn't know about that because he looks over at Egon like "I'm sorry you tried to do what🤨"

8:57 THE CROTCH FACEPLANT WILL NEVER NOT BE FUNNY 😂😂

Egon is my childhood crush and he is the definition of my type

when I tell friends: "you better not be watching those anime girls that are actually boys, they could be a trap" my friend: 5:27

Egon: *Listening to wood* WTF WTF WTF lol 😂 Egon is quite definitely my favourite

7:02 Vince is probably the only terror dog that’s the most kindest and most dumbest one to and causally giving egon everything to him in the room and and drink boiling water

0:37 "Listen!... You Smell Something?.."

I love all these little edits highlighting the charming and excellent performance, so many hilarious little details that are easy to miss! Ghostbusters is such an absolute classic!

8:55 *I think that scene is what started my fear of heights.*

I know they played down and cut out a lot of the Egon & Janine stuff from the final cut of the movie but I love at the end during the credits when she runs up and hugs him and he’s happy to see her. Then says ‘come on’ and leads her to the car ❤

Egon is the ultimate nerd

Man, I really wish that Janine turned out to be Callie's mother. That would have been the ultimate full circle.

I really love how GB is a part of geek fandoms on the internet and yet it takes the piss out of those kind of people.

“YOUR MOTHER!!!!!!” :Egon Spangler 1984

3:23 pov of my friend shining a light in my face at Phasmophobia

Okay but why am I in love with him?

Funny story when I first watched this movie I saw him as Harry potters dad 😅😂

Legend

Rip Harold ramis he will always be remembered

Egon: **YOUR MOTHER FF***!!!!!!!!!!** me: HAHAHAHHAHAHH I LOVE THIS GUY'S ANGER!!! GAWRSH.......
