Needlessly Dissecting 'MINUTEMEN' 

The running gag where you play the lab rats theme whenever you mention the show will never not be funny, please never stop doing it

also nicholas braun being in sky high is his actual most famous role as the glowing guy zach

Imagine you didn’t know your house was a filming ground for a Disney Channel Movie/Series and one day this guy in weird attire such as an all white ski coat stands outside and films himself…I’d be terrified

I watched this movie ONCE as a kid, and “You ROBBED NASA” and “dropped a grape” have been stuck in the deep deep recesses of my mind ever since.

As a native Spanish speaker, I can confirm that when a boy and a girl are friends, they're called "amigos". This video has been approved by the Spanish community.

Look, if someone in the club I was in straight up invented _time travel,_ I'd be calling him "Glorious Leader" and following him into literal life or death struggles.

So we gonna talk about the fact that they were stripped of their clothes and redressed in cheerleaders uniforms by (presumably) the football team? This feels like a crime

can’t believe i have to become a screenwriter and casting director to give jason dolley the second chance he deserves

just realized my brain somehow misremembered this movie and until you said Hatching Pete i genuinely believed the chicken mascot was a plotline in Minute Men 😭💔

As a conveniece store clerk I can confirm that you can buy the specific numbers for a lottery ticket

Its so weird that they got to high school as a trio of best friends then the moment the movie says he's a nerd neither one of them do anything to prevent it but claim they did and proceed to ignore him for 3 full years until he can be of use to them.

1:00:56 This lucky lady is happy to have a small part in this amazing video! Minute Men is definitely one of those childhood memories that you forget about until you randomly have the smallest whiff of something and it all comes rushing back. Can't wait for more videos!

1:01:40 I can't even begin to describe how much I love the details of this skit: - the fact that past you was randomly in front of the minutemen high school for no reason - while wearing a minutemen ski costume - while over elaborately proclaiming to never wanting to review minutemen - the absolute 0 surprise in seeing your future self - the 0.1 seconds it took to change your past self mind about the review - the even quicker transition into reviewing minutemen with an impromptu 1+hour long script ready to go Definitely my favorite joke of the video.

every time i watched this movie i was always like, “they would ABSOLUTELY call him Virgin if this wasn’t a DCOM,” so watching this video was very cathartic for me. thanks

I love how Keyan Carlile videos will always have a fun game of “how many degrees of separation is this thing from Transformers,” I am honestly here for it.

"This day you hate so much...is my favorite day" had young me bawling. Still the best bit of the movie and the reason I remember it

I always liked that the extras in this movie are actively aware of the plot and unlike other movies they react when people shout concerning things in public spaces

Now that we're adults, can we talk about how wild it is that Derek didn't ask Virgil to go back in time to stop HIM from cheating, he asks Virgil to stop STEPHANIE from catching him? Meaning that he doesn't regret his actions, he just doesn't want to deal with the consequences. If that ain't some high school bullshit i dont know what is.

Charlie's monologue to Virgil was genuinely so moving

the most important takeaway from this video is Keyan got rickrolled by a child

i don’t think i missed a single rerun of this for at least 4 years straight

Austin Butler really went from a one time character in Wizards Of Waverly Place and iCarly, to being in Aliens In The Attic, to being nominated for an Oscar as best leading role in Elvis

the Dean Pelton look-alike also played the Vice Principle on Phil of the Future, so he played a Vice Principle in two time travel based Disney shows/movies

The lengths you go to find filming spots for you videos are unreal. Especially having to wear that snow suit to have another jacket underneath. I’m always too hyped seeing the notification of an upload from you.

Congratulations, nephew Landon, for Rick Rolling at this point 10,000 people!

Minutemen beat out another time travel classic, _Steins Gate,_ by being the first to have a time machine centered around a microwave. I'm now convinced that the movie's screenwriter was a time traveler.

"we're the minutemen, not the weeniemen" has HAUNTED me since i heard it originally in 2008

If I had a nickel for every time a RU-vidr I like released a video about Minutemen this month, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

I don't know if it's just me, but as time goes on I feel like I'm seeing more and more of Keyan's personality come out in his videos. While they're all bangers, recently you can really tell he's throwing his sense of humor into these great short bits that are edited in. You love to see it.

For the record Madison Pettis is modeling lingerie for fenty and i personally consider that success

I literally cannot believe I avoided succession spoilers for so many weeks just to get it spoiled for me by this video LMAO (I mean I did see it coming but still)

34:03 this is the most unrealistic part of the movie. I can suspend my disbelief for time travel, but one dude barely yelling got the entire cafeteria to stare at him? That’s where I draw the line

The storyline also reminds me of Steinsgate which came out a year after this film! Scientists realise they are messing with time travel, there's a fat and thin one. They all think they look good in quirky white outfits, they start to remember alternate timelines as 'deja-vu'. They stole a bunch of information, they undo mistakes. A time machine incorporating a microwave, they hang out and talk on stairways, a girl just walks in and joins the team, they try to win the lottery and it doesn't go to plan...

Seeing a 1 hour video after the double 10 hours videos you posted for wizards I heaved a sigh of relief, but also sadness.

“There are three tiers… how many fingers do I have?” Made me laugh more than expected.

Don’t know if you remember but I commented on your community post about the location of the gas station. I was finally able to contact that coworker that was on set for this gas station scene. She says she now has forgotten the exact location of the gas station but is pretty sure it was in the Riverton/Herriman area. Just to let you know so you don’t feel like you dijt have a loose end lol.

It was so weird- Newer movies like Prom Pact, I only saw advertising for on Tiktok and it was mainly advertising that it was airing on Disney Plus. I watched it out of curiosity, and it had a similar plot to some early disney original romcoms, but they were so caked with newer slang that it felt out of place for a disney channel movie, but more than anything it seems like they are trying really hard to keep up with an online demographic. It also uses the phrase "put your p in a v" when talking about hooking up, so that was... Interesting

I swear, your line delivery and physical comedy/facial expressions are always so good, a crazy amount of talent and skill. You're truly great at doing these videos, you deserve people telling you this!! Like seriously your content has so much quality and a big part of it is your line delivery, that's a serious skill 🌟 I'd say many of us watch your content not primarily because of the show or movie of the video, but because it's you making it.

I remember watching this movie as a child and thinking "I want to be a nerd and get bullied in high school" and i worked my entire life the craft that perfect nerd persona, it was my magnum opus. But reality would not be so kind. You can imagine my disappointment when people were actually decent humans and i wasn't bullied even once throughout high school, all those years of practice FOR WHAT. Reality is often disappointing.

1:10:40 this 9 year old just rick rolled thousands of people. Bro wasnt even a zygote when people were doing that

i watched this movie several times as a kid and it just now dawned on me that virgil’s “you’re both so good with lipstick….” dunk on derek was meant to imply that v knew about d’s cheating and his betrayal in freshman year (when d suggested putting lipstick on the v and charlie) lol

zeke and those two girls were serving poly representation realness

As someone who works at a famous high school, we get thousands of tourists a year, and some do actually get charged with trespassing, so I'd be careful with videos in the future. Anyway... this is my first video of yours, and you're an immediate subscribe. The brand of comedy is just right up my alley

You can have an open wrench that is a ratcheting wrench on the other side. Also you definitely can pick the numbers you want on a lottery ticket. I love these videos so much! PLEASE keep them coming

1:04:34 This is an incredible bit because I initially thought that he was just repeating what he said earlier at 22:08 as a simple joke bout time travel but in reality HE SINGS THE NEXT VERSE of the same song. Making a brilliant play on how continuity continues despite time travel making events repeat.

Yes you can go up to the counter and tell them the lottery numbers you want. You can ask for random numbers but you can request your own numbers.

community refrences crazy in this video. some even flew under the radar. my personal fav was the "featurette" joke. great shit!!

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. That trailer edit of "we created A BLACK HOLE" will never leave my brain.

As someone who lives in salt lake i FREAKED when mentioned Koi piercings! I wish I’d been around when he was filming that would’ve been amazing. Btw Koi is like THE place for piercings in the city, everyone goes there

okay im only 10 minutes in but i need to say how keyan is the funniest person like, not a single joke misses for me

you can in fact pick what lottery numbers you get, the number is never announced in advanced (I know this because my dad picks the same numbers every single time. He says they have to hit one of these days)

You're going to end up on Salt Lake School District watch list someday 💀 I respect the commitment to travel across the country on a regular basis though. It's one of my favorite parts of your deep dive videos! Edit: 1:01:06 As someone who lives in the area...I can confirm that "if it ain't broke, why fix it" is the government's policy when it comes to roads

This movie gave me existential terror as a kid and I blocked literally all of it from my memory, including the existence of the movie itself.

what i took from this video is that kids still learn about Rickrolling and im happy about that

Modern Disney Channel has not phased out live-action, it’s just that the weekends are usually solely dedicated to animation.

Minutemen will forever be a comfort movie to me

Steven R. McQueen (Derek) was Jeremy in the Vampire Diaries. And like I didn't even slightly recognize him until I looked up the rest of the cast.

That kys joke caught me soo off guard lmao great video man, hopefully this video does the numbers as well

6:30 As a self diagnosed nerd, I can confirm we are made to be bullied

Could not contain my laughter when you traffic-circle your way into making this video

Under Wraps isn't just any Mummy Movie. It's a remake of _the_ Mummy movie. Not the Brendan Fraser one, I mean Under Wraps the first ever DCOM from 1997! That's my childhood!

Man just went ahead and spoiled succession without any warning

Please continue the series of overanalyzing disney properties. Edit: as someone who sells lotto tickets, yes it’s very common for people to choose their own numbers.

My sister used to talk about this movie all the time and I never watched it, glad that I finally got to know what she was on about with such a well crafted video👏🏽

I like how when Keyan goes back in time he has to tell his past self to review the movie he was decidedly against reviewing despite already inexplicably being in Salt Lake City in a snowsuit

Never did I think I’d get spoiled on Succession by watching a minute men video

About the ending, I feel like DC is going to pivot even further into this animation-centric direction now that the writers strike is happening, which means they can't really make new sitcoms or original movies unless they resort to AI. But kids cartoon writers can't strike since they're under the Animation Guild instead of the Writers' Guild.

I actually did see the portal as a snow tornado. It was do to how cold they made it seem that it came off as a snow storm

"Would you want to relive your senior year of high school?" My senior year was the 2019-2020 year, soooo... I guess I would know that I didn't have to study as hard because everyone got a free pass that year. I would also try my best to get everyone's contact (I was really bad at getting people's contacts and had absolutely no way to reach out to most of my friends unless their instagram usernames were their actual names). I would invest hugely in the month of April or May (although I only had like $2,000 at that time, so maybe I should try really hard to convince my parents to invest). And lastly, I would say something else when the school newspaper interviewed me about Covid in early March and I claimed that "it wouldn't be a big deal". For fun, I would also make a bunch of theory videos for popular franchises knowing full well exactly what happens and gain millions of subscribers for my accurate theories only to lose them all once I catch up to the present day and fail to predict anything.

Ngl the amount of times I smiled or laughed at you calling Virgil Virgin is alarming.

I definitely agree generally with your tier classification of Disney stars and how their odds of later success include weighing the cost of recognizability to revenue. I feel like if the Disney stars could sing (and Disney keeps track of/encourages their “triple threats” who can act/sing/and potentially dance) then Disney has the opportunity to exploit/profit off of an additional musical career + persona, so they’ll invest significant time and coverage into promoting them as a celebrity elevated beyond just Disney (the golden age era w Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, etc.), which, if they make it, gives them the leverage to transition out of their Disney image. They don’t really have this same format anymore, but I think Dove Cameron and Sabrina Carpenter, aside from being talented, are good examples of post-golden age celebrities who carved out a separate Disney identity through Disney promotion and music designed to get them out of the niche.

I love the running gag of the Ghost House music whenever you're standing in a location

So....Jason Dolley is actually a family friend, and the way people talk about him in interviews is how he actually acts. Also, in most of his projects, if you see a guy with curly Red hair and glasses, that's his brother! Also, as far I know, Jason didn't want wanted to do acting after Disney

This Movie sparked my fascination with time travel; I would not be the man I am without this Movie!

Peak fiction. Also, first Mr. Nostalgia's video now this? Epic.

Hey there keyan, been watching the channel for a while now but never commented. I of course love the subject matter of your videos so so much, and the effort that you put into bringing this media back to life. (wearing costumes, driving cross country to film on the locations) but I wanted to say that I also love your personality and your humor makes me laugh a lot. (especially the dark humor) for example “should I kill myself”. Anyways just wanted to say keep doing you, I’m always so happy when you release a new video :) also, I know you are more of a Disney reviewer but Zoey 101 holds such a special place in my heart and if you feel the same maybe you could make a video around that. Anyways, I hope this comment catches you at a good time :)

BTW the grappling hook is a trope that was also used in Fanboys, which came out in 2009. However, Fanboys was filmed in 2006 and the producers just sat on it for three years….Sooo…yeah, grappling hook tropes for everyone!

Actually Derek/Zeke was also in Princess Protection Program and ALSO in Sky High which is probably his most noteable role. But neverMINNND that- Do you know how JARRING it is to be doing a binge watch of The Vampire Diaries and see JEREMEY FLADOOPING GILBERT APPEAR ON MY SCREEN????

I love watching retrospectives on shows and movies from when I was a kid that I never watched because I wasn't allowed to

This video is awakening the minutemen part of my brain. I used to stay up all night watching Disney channel and this is one of the first movies I noticed that had an actor I knew from a TV show. Well this and Hatching Pete for the exact same reasons.

First Mr. Nostalgia, now you. I'm glad to see Minutemen is getting RU-vid recognition

Don’t off yourself Keyan you have so many videos to live for!

fuming bc you said “with no sacrifice comes no victory” and i immediately knew it was the witwicky family motto. how do you manage to fit so many banger tf references in every video you make

certified hood classic

Me with time travel: *time travels one second into the past repeatedly until I've got three me's and we all start singing we are number one*

24:58 I'm sure people have already answered this but in most number lotteries yes you can (and most people do) pick your own numbers. People who play a lot tend to do things like family members birthdays etc.

The slight pause every time before you say “while going to school” is one of my favorite things

MinuteMen is my favorite non-musical movie from Disney

Lol it cracks me up every time when you go to the places that they filmed at - also loved the outfit lol

I am convinced that Keyan himself is a “minuteman” who already had the snow suit, and went back in time to invent Transformers using the associative property.

I love the dedication to tracking down all of the movie locations, truly some top-tier content 👏👏

after binging over 15 hours of keyan in the past few days i can confidently say that he's starting to become one of my favorites video essay youtubers. the extreme dedication watching the entire series of long-running disney shows is crazy but to make a fully comprehensible video on it And make it entertaining is so insane. if you see this hi hello keep up the great work and don't forget to take breaks 💥💥

15:56 Maddison pettis was not a main star, she was supporting cast at best but Jenna Ortega was. Unlike Madison, Jenna had her own show called Stuck in the Middle, did the voice for princess Isabel in Elena of Avalor, and was still doing voice work for Disney as recently as last year on Big City Greens as Cricket’s crush Gabrielle Espinosa.

I have probably watched this movie at least four times as a kid and I'm surprised by how many scenes I genuinely don't remember

I grew up in the area and it’s honestly so surreal to see all these locations from not only my actual life, but in a movie I used to love as a kid.

Oh my god, I remembered this movie but thought it was something I made up as a kid since I could never find anything about it. Thank you for unlocking this memory.

Honestly I feel like we're in that timeline where the bullied nerds created A.I.

This channel’s team put a lot of work into this fantastic video- first time I’ve watched this channel- I haven’t ever watched Minutemen- and I’ve just subscribed. Thanks!

Grew up watching this movie with my sister but none of my friends remember it at all. Thanks for bringing the memories back

Hour long (or multi hour long) videos about my childhood shows and movies is my favorite genre
