Mary-Kate & Ashley Triple Feature #1: Stupid Mysteries (Movie Nights) (ft. @Phelan Porteous) 

The whole "Butt Out" song is a lot funnier nowadays, when Lizzie is the only one with a legit acting career.

looking at this stuff makes it creepy that there was a countdown for when these girls turned 18. People knew these girls from infancy, they had seen or knew of these movies they were in, and they were waiting eagerly until they were legally available? That's intensely creepy.

I love how I instantly noticed that the actor who plays the boyfriend in the schools dance movie is the kid who becomes a mermaid in the Disney Channel movie 'the thirteenth year' cuz I have my priorities XD

I really want a new Olsen Twins mystery movie in the style of Mystery Team, where two grizzled washed-up child stars have to solve a murder.

New idea. Elisabeth Olson reacts to her sisters movies. Hilarious

I think this is what drove the Scarlet Witch crazy; she found the darkest universe and it broke her.

Endgame Spoiler! Thanos beats Scarlet Witch by singing "Lizzie, Butt Out"

Uuuuuugh. When I was in Elementary school, we'd have to watch Mary Kate and Ashley movies whenever there was a tornado warning. The whole school would pile into the maintenance basement with one twelve inch TV, and we were all expected to be placated by this shit. Bear in mind, I lived in the tornado belt, so this sort of thing happened several times a year. And every time, I prayed that the power would go out.

"There's no rule a sasquatch can't be prom king!"

I think Elizabeth Olsen got the last laugh eventually.

My favourite Mary-Kate and Ashley moment is in "To grandmas house we go" when they meet the black musician on the street and tip him with fried chicken.

SPRINGDANCE DOT COM DOT COM: be sure to wear your most fashionable red clothes!

35:04 And then Lizzy moved to Sokovia and gained super powers to get revenge against her jerk celebrity sisters

And Lizzie Olsen became an indie darling and one of the Avengers!

I remember when we had a bunch of Mary-Kate & Ashley VHSes at the library I work at. I wonder now how many times they were checked out by adults for nostalgia's sake and not for their kids. Because I can't imagine any kid actually enjoying these pieces of shit.

"Our SeaWorld trainer parents came up with a progam to talk to whales and dolphins!" and they're probably screaming "STOP TEARING OUR FAMILIES APART AND FORCING US TO LIVE IN BATHTUBS AND STARVING US SO WE'LL PERFORM THE SAME STUPID TRICKS DAY AFTER DAY" Watching this thing post-"Blackfish" is awesome.

We never did learn what the noise about boys was...

I thought I had never seen these videos before... and then an ancient echoing memory of "B-U-T-T Out" rang through my mind...

These two were pushed as precocious since they were toddlers, but they were never any better than completely average. Seriously, pull a couple random kids in off the street, and you couldn't tell the difference. Maybe that was their attraction: even I could be a star! Look at them!

I hope the Olsen twins don't go 'Whatever Happened To Baby Jane' on Lizzy.

I love that one of them has a bike with "CRIME" on it and "STOPPERS" on the other. What happens when they split up?

I'm just imagining them standing and sweating under hot lighting, for take after take in those penguin costumes, slowly dying of heatstroke.

It's probably for best her bf became king, their relationship wouldn't last when he eventually turns into a mermaid

35: 54 Lizzie would go on to be part of one of the biggest superhero franchises in cinema... meanwhile, Mary-Kate and Ashley would be forgotten. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?

"She does not get the D". Best line.

The detective one ended too soon. The whole thing was a ruse to get the family onto a cruise ship so the mimes could carry out their dastardly plans to take over SeaWorld without two little kids underfoot.

Kinda funny seeing the song where they're mean to Elizabeth since she's probably gone onto be more successful than both of them

Fun Fact: The teenage boy in the school dance was a merman in The Thirteenth Year.

I remember being four years old and my parents not allowing me to watch these movies because they were PG 😂

1995: Elizabeth Olsen won't amount to anything 2018: WHAT?!

I have seen these a few times now, and I smirk each and every time at the mangling of the dance's name. I don't know why it's so amusing but it's one of my favorite running gags on the channel

I swear that when they open the door to Thorn Mansion, I see a boom mike in the top right corner!!

oh gods i remember these. i was obsessed with sherlock holmes, encyclopedia brown, and wishbone as a child, so the detective movies especially were my JAM. i feel bad for those poor girls now, but child me was just enthralled by kids having fun solving mysteries and traveling to neat places.

I never realized how tall Phelan was until just now. I actually read some of the Olsen twins' books when they were around; they were pretty bad, even the "memoir" Our Story.

i think you should do a play through of one of the illustrious Mary Kate and Ashley driving video games.

I'm not the only one who got that damn "B-U-T-T Out" "song" stuck in their head, right? ... Right? ... Right?

No wonder they don’t want to be actors anymore😒 Look what they made em sing!>

Lil trivia: Braces girl was the first Jo from Big bad beetleborgs.

He looks so miserable having to watch their films…🤣

It’s 2020 and spring dance dot com does not exist 😕

This was AMAZING. Bless you both for making me laugh out loud at work.

Lolz😹 You and Phelous are so sweet together💕

Bee keeper, Wandavision...omg

So I guess the Sea World movie is like the end if Shutter Island based on Phelous' descripton

Yay bloopers😂 thank you for that 😊

I was a big Mary-kate and Ashley fan when I was little. I wanted to be like them, I wanted a twin sister, and I wanted to be their friend. *I feel stupid for envying them* so much, *but* the movies & merch do remind me of happy times

Its okay Ashley, Chess turns into a mermaid and falls in love with the nasty one in stepsister from planet weird Also, how did I seriously only notice _just now_ that he was a *mermaid* with the last name *Starbuck* ?!

I’ve been watching all the ones in this series I’ve come across and I actually really remember the second and third movies in this one. Ugh. I loved it, too. Me and my sister each had a favorite twin. B-U-T-T OUT was such an ear worm.

If they weren't a set of twins, they would not have become popular.

Again,i Love your intro Music! Stuck in my head for days

It's totally kids and not old creeps watching those movies and they made it for them, right? RIGHT?

I remember seeing these advertised on my VHS of Willy Wonka, along with a video advertisement for The Wizard of Oz. Never saw these videos before, so I’m getting to experience a childhood I’ve never had.

Loved this one! Wow, what a flashback from my childhood that was. Perhaps you should do more of these... would love to see your opinion on the one where MK & A go to Six Flags.

I actually kinda like the idea of kids who have deluded themselves into thinking they're detectives and would love to see that in a better made movie. Poke fun at other mystery shows like Scooby Doo. Seriously did those teens have any actual business getting involved in these mysteries? And how the fuck did they drive their van to Hawaii?! Phelan: There's plenty of ghost hunter shows you could've called, you bitch. Me: Actually those didn't show up till the early 2000s. I guess in the mid 90s two grade school girls was all you had to investigate ghost sightings.

I am not sure if boxers with toasters on them are rad or lame.

This is a very funny video and one that I rewatch every once in a while. Great stuff. It might just be me, but it seems like in almost every MK&A thing, every one of the other performers are always more energetic, better actors, and a heck of a lot more likeable than them. It's like they are always there, sucking the energy out of the room, while everyone else tries to bring it back up. Also, tiny little fact: The "braces girl", named Shannon Chandler, did a couple of other things and grew up to be quite beautiful. Makes me wonder if she just decided acting wasn't for her, or if she was forced out by the crap that young girls have to deal with in the industry. I feel like her and the brunette girl who was in many of the scenes were really trying their best to give some kind of effort. Anyways, I'm probably putting way too much thought into a Mary Kate & Ashley bargain bin VHS tape, so I'll just end by saying thanks for all the laughs you two provide!

Why haven't you done It Takes Two yet?? You referenced it before

And Elizabeth Olsen was so upset when they told her B-U-T-T out that she developed super powers and would go on to become an avenger

Oh man i love this intro theme!

Oh forgot to mention Megan Fox made her movie Debut with the Olsen twins in the 2003 flick Holiday In The Sun.

I love how intensely angry these movies make Phelan. He's so not impressed with any of this 😂

I'm fairly certain the babysitter in the "Sea World Adventure" is French Stewart in drag.

That first one is really sad, they were just 14-15 years old and that burnt out & upset with themselves for messing up.

springdance.com is an available domain name. Which is good, since I was briefly afraid I'd stumble across some dark stuff by accident looking that up.

Can this series come back pls? Tysm.

i wonder if Elizabeth Olsen acknowledges this movie's existence.

I’m ready to see your views on the case of the Logical I Ranch and the Space Camp Mission! The lotta rocks song is my jam. They also have great songs in the space mission one. Hahaha

Oddly enough, springdance.com isn't a legitimate website.

Having watched all your videos on the Olsen twins, because my life is an empty void, I've noticed that it's never their grandmother, but their great-grandmother. Or great-aunt. Or great-godmother. It's weird.

oh my gods, someone make a baywatch nights title sequence with the opening song for the mystery series...

24:52 That Background Music went on to being used in the tv show Collectors Call With Blair from the Facts of Life.

And to think, had John Stamos been successful in getting the Olsen Twins fired from Full House, the world would've been a different place. Who knows, maybe Full House would've been better...

I had quite a few of their 30 minute Mystery and party videos. I used to watch them a lot, then as I got older I got rid of them and just kept their full length movies.

The screen tear on these old DTV movies

Oh my god, I remember these movies. I remember seeing them when they originally aired on ABC's family movie night.

Had no idea Phelous and Lupa review the old Olsen twin movies.

I used to hate these two when I was younger, now I just feel sorry for them.

Wait... 11:47... "Directed by Steve Purcell"? Sam and Max Steve Purcell? Now I want a crossover.

When I was a kid I had a Mary Kate & Ashley CD and one of the songs on there was that Brother for Sale one. I remember listening to it and thinking it was the weirdest most confusing song I had ever heard

the Sea World episode was my life when I was little XD

Mary-kate and Ashleyyyyyyyyyy

disappointed you didn't mention Lizzie Elizabeth Olsen actually is the one who has an acting career

Thanos should have said B U T T Out when he snapped his fingers, fulfilling the Olsen's dream.

Oh Sea World, this didn't age well.

funny video. Phelan is funny

My favorite Mary Kate and Ashley movie was Billboard Dad

Wait is Scarlet witch related to these two?! Because I swear I thought it was a ‘we have the same name but aren’t related’ situation

Can you do a video for their movie How the west was fun? I got a kick out of this video 😂

I live in the UK and there are two Mary-kate and Ashley films I can't find one of them is available on Amazon the other one isn't

It would've been amazing if they sang "I don't like Mondays"

We need a "The Challenge" review, the true swan song.

I remember this era albeit I only watched Full House occasionally in re-runs because I was too young. Even had their PS1 game

My sister fucking LOVED these videos. Good lord they are bad.

Too bad that Mary-Kate and Ashley couldn't have met Radu in Transylvania. Wait...Michelle...Tanner? BTW, was that a song from Clockwork Knight that I heard?

Poor Phelan!

I love your intro, I always watch it

What is the noise about boys?

Oh my god, I think I might own this tape. It didn't come to me until I heard "Waiting." Either that or I rented this a hundred fucking times at the library when I was 5.

18:18 who knew this movie as a prequel to the invention of Cetacean Ops in Star Trek

That babysitter...is she somehow related to Ernest(played by Jim Varney)? She somehow has the facial expression and behavior.
