I'd be curious if a con would even let a channel as big as this is now film an openly mocking segment. RLM were obvs able to fly under the radar in 2011.
@@whodatninja439 I was just thinking about this today . They've changed quite a bit and it's totally OK and natural they're down to earth dudes but the excitement they had talking about movies is now gone. the movie industry is so cynical. They just changed with the times. Aaaaiiiiiidddssss
Omg... you just gave me an eric wareheim mind melt. Grooming is pretty analogous to the brand loyalty Disney tries to instill in its consumers. Don’t make good content, trick them into being your puppet so they submit out of habit.
It’s pretty sad but it’s still their choice to be there. Nobody’s forcing them to do these jobs. Nobody’s really stopping them from getting a better job if they’re celebrities. The saddest part for me is the artists not getting the treatment they deserve for their hard work
Next time I watch a New Hope, I'll bear in mind that Peter Mayhew would, in 34 years time, look up at Rich Evans dressed as George Lucas and shake his head
Oh cool, Edward Furlong was there! I loved him from that police report where he was causing a disturbance in a grocery store by tossing all their lobsters out of their water tank!
Two years ago I bought 5 cases of deodorant at Sam's Club and set up a stand outside Pittsburgh Comic Con. I met lots of interesting people. On a completely unrelated note, let me know below if you would like a free tube of two year old deoderant. I have exactly 5 cases.
It's not all bad for people like Christopher Lloyd, at least people want to see him. Imagine being "Beru" from Star Wars II & III. Her name sign wasn't even properly printed, someone had to write that on it with a tiny ass picture underneath.
I saw Stan Lee at the Chicago Comicon, and I think he made about 50 to 150 dollars per minute from just signatures and he probably did it for maybe 6 hours with breaks. He made in a day what I make in a year with nothing more than a 2-3 sharpies.
Can we talk about the little girl in the blue Angry Birds t-shirt behind Mike that looks like the most miserable person ever? Like if you asked me what Mike's daughter would be like if he had one, that little girl is exactly what I would describe to you.
The Artists Alley is hands down the best part of Wizard World / Chicago Comic-con. The artists are usually pretty cool, don't look desperate / upset like the celebrities', and are often drawing cool shit as you walk by.
Started laughing so hard when he walked up to Peter Mayhew. Then I remember he recently passed away & now I feel sad :( :( RIP Peter Mayhew thank you for all the work you did as Chewbacca.
(15:04) Bruce Campbell in a suit and tie while everyone else on the panel are wearing their best Sunday lounging around the house evening wear. Classy as always, Bruce! ;)
7:15, Rich Evans / George Lucas interacting with the weird zombie warbler guy from the previous convention video from Half in the Bag. This episode is so fascinating. I learn so much from these guys.
I don't know how we survived pre-covid, these people are like 3 inches from their mouths touching and people just touch their nose and mouth like it's no big deal
I met Peter Mayhew at a 'con in the UK. Lovely bloke, he even stood up to take a picture with me (I'm 6'6" but he was way taller). I hope he saw this video, his look is priceless.
About ten years ago, I went to the emerald city comicon in Seattle, and as dumb and nerdy as it sounds, it was one of the best weekends of my life. Some of the best creators like Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith's booths seemed to never have a line, and I got to chat with them, and both were absolute gentlemen. I also met Mike Mignola, who seemed very much over it, haha.
Around ten years ago I was living and working in Seattle (still do, but this happened ten years ago). I was running off to a deposition in an office near the convention center while Emerald City Comic Con was going on. There was a prop cop car sticking out of a wall about 10 feet out up with lights flashing, a tentacled alien decoration, and just tons of people walking in costumes. They all looked so happy and like they were having fun, compared to the stressful misery I was going through. I think about that day all the time. I wish I could enjoy anything as much as those nerds were enjoying themselves that day.
@@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth I think I already qualify. As proof, consider that I watched The Flash a few days ago and when the younger Allen receives the suit ring, he whispers “ash nazg durbatulûk”. I was the only one who caught it and then got on everyone’s nerves as I tried to explain the reference over the actual movie that they were trying to watch. The thing about the con was I couldn’t attend because I was working a job which, by that time and definitely in the ten years since, had destroyed my ability to feel any joy or happiness.
@@asmodiusjones9563 Aw I'm sorry. I feel you pain though. It sucks that so many of us have to live that way. I hope things have changed for the better, or you are at least working on it.
The "sexy nerd girl"(Hannah Spear) they interviewed turned out to be an actress on Star Trek Discovery as Siranna. Weird. Wonder if Mike is aware of this.
Only Mike can trip up someone dressed as a Star Trek character with something they didn't know or care to know about Star Trek like "purple space bazooka"
Personally i'd never destroy any copies of the Star War Holiday Special. I just want that special to remain, just because I want Lucas to never forget it exists.
4:31 is how I feel everytime I go to a Comic Con. You guys are right, "The Celebrity Zoo" section is always awkward. Security nowadays is even more strict if you attempt to take any photos of "celebs" from a distance. Also I feel like an asshole everytime I walk up to someone's booth, shake their hand and walk away without paying for anything. Especially if there was nobody in line.
I went to the Chicago Comic Con with a friend and his dad back in around 1991. It was the biggest room I've ever been in before and everyone was a virgin, except presumably my friend's dad. There wasn't a woman to be found in the entire place. It was really just a flea-market with just a bunch of tables with comics and cards for sale.
I wen to Tampa Bay comic con a few years back and both Tom Kenny and Carrie Fischer were charging 70 for an autograph, it wasn't them though it was the convention that charges that much. You get to talk to them for free tho so that's cool.
Actual Goblin I know this is an old comment but no, the celebrity is paid by the convention and then the convention sets a price to make back the money and make a profit. So it’s not just the convention.
those actors just sitting there kinda remind me of the movie The Wrestlers where Ram was in this signing convention together with the other old forgotten wrestlers
i love the "oh god, am i walking into frame" thing that happened. also the george lucas cosplay was probably the best thing that happened at that convention
9:54 - The vendor area also feels like an antique fair or flea market, I go to those and it feels similar. Just that the comic cons have more of the pop culture stuff, but even those antique fairs and flea markets have some vendors selling the same. Wouldn't surprise me if some of the vendors exhibit at all three types of places.
