Peacock's Insane Christmas Movies 

How do i exit the video

The idea of this child setting a sign on fire and saying "CALL THE COPS! TELL EM OLD JACK IS WAITING FOR EM!" like some old cowboy and then immediately going "it was barely a candle's flame, really :(" is so fucking funny

Cryin: “In case you haven’t noticed, I'm weird. I’m a weirdo. I don't fit in. And I don't want to fit in. Have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? That's weird.”

I know 12 Dog Days Til Christmas was awful, but I read this on the IMDB Page and thought it was really sweet: The lead dog, Petunia, was actually rescued from an animal shelter to play the role in 12 Dog Days Till Christmas. She had very little hair initially, but by the time filming started she had grown back a lot of her hair due to the love and attention she received in her new home. She is still living with the animal trainer after the film.

amandas outrage at them leaving out milk makes me laugh everytime

Petunia is like the dog equivalent of when Hollywood movies have an "ugly nerd" character who's played by a supermodel wearing glasses and frizzy hair. It's just a cute dog everyone keeps informing the audience is supposed to be ugly.

Petunia did nothing to be attacked like that. She’s a cute dog, it’s like the writer has a personal vendetta against this particular dog

Whenever I see a movie where a dog plays an actual character, I judge how well the dog was trained. In the worst ones it's just voiceover with puppet legs to do things, but Bone seems pretty clever! He can open latches and ride a skateboard, I hope he got a lot of treats and a better movie. The best dog acting I've ever seen was the husky from The Thing.

i can say that the "big dog gets blamed for the little dog's mischief" thing is actually 100% accurate bc i had a golden retriever and a beagle and we always thought the golden retriever was the one eating all the food off counters bc she was bigger and could reach it, and the only reason we found out that the beagle was the one doing parkour to get on top of tables was bc he eventually went deaf and couldnt hear us coming. so,

The way the mom and the dad lean into each other while lovingly looking at the Christmas tree as it zooms into the three dead men underneath it is the funniest thing I have ever witnessed

At this point, no one's trying to make a good Christmas movie anymore. They're trying to make one bad enough that Drew Gooden will goof on it.

“You don’t... date boys?” Apparently, Jack has never heard of the concept of lesbians.

I gotta give credit where credit is due, the guy playing the skinny blond robber in the Home Alone dog movie is absolutely AMAZING at physical comedy.

“Well, I don’t *see* any broken bones. My guess is she has a concussion.” Love it when my vet just throws up his hands and makes a guess.

Imagine having your beloved pet dog act in a movie and all they do is call it an ugly bitch the entire movie

Imagine letting a director use your dog as an actor in a movie and they just call it ugly the entire way through. The audacity

Them saying “he looks really happy too” and then cutting to the depressed dog just sitting on the floor staring at the wall has got to be the funniest thing I’ve seen all week

The way they zoomed in at the Christmas tree, ignoring the dead bodies covered in Christmas wrapping, then topped it all off with a heartwarming, magical background music. Chefs kiss, this movie is a masterpiece.

hot take: everyone is afraid of jack because his knee jerk reaction to someone calling the cops is ARSON

The 12 dog days movie makes me so frustrated because they could have actually had a decent movie if they gave a shit. The concept of a troubled teen learning to love and be loved because of a rescue shelter’s dogs and staff has potential. Here’s how, in my opinion, how you do a dog and troubled teen Christmas movie without making it awful: - don’t have the protagonist that’s clearly supposed to be a sympathetic character commit arson a few minutes in - Jack can have anger issues but don’t make him a violent asshole. Make it clear that his anger is an emotional defense and justified from his perspective. - give the protagonist a character arc. Show him being untrusting and easily irritated in the beginning and slowly learning to trust and care about those around him. - for the love of god, do not make it a romance. Lean into found family tropes, whether that’s a foster family or the people at the shelter. - set up early on that Jack likes dogs or animals in general. Show him giving a stray dog some food or something. - figure out some way to work Christmas into the plot other than the movie happens to take place in December. Maybe the shelter is short on funds so they do some kind of holiday fundraiser event. You could even work in something with Jack’s family life and trust/abandonment issues, like he hates the holidays because everyone is always talking about family but he’s in a different house every year or something. - give the audience some reason to root for Jack other than ‘is sometimes nice to dogs’.

As a USPS employee I actually have some insight into the weird USPS branding in the second movie and the way they didn't use a mail truck. The USPS is actually very careful about their branding in movies and don't typically allow people to depict mail carriers as criminals. It looks to me like the creators of the film checked on that extremely late in production and had to do some hasty editing and reshoots to remove the overt USPS branding.

Petunia is literally the cutest dog and everyone’s like “that’s a fucking ugly abomination of a monster. how can you even call it a dog” damn leave my girl alone 😭

It makes sense that everyone is scared of Jack since he literally committed arson within the first 5 minutes of the film because he was mildly annoyed at a shop owner for telling him to stop being a menace

i used to think the pound was called the pound because they litarally beat the animals to death

Jack is able to intimidate the bullies bc he’s literally an arsonist - the crazy kind, not the insurance fraud kind.

"It ony a movie" No one has ever made me laugh as hard as Amanda just did

"No, I want a dog that won't traumatize my kids every time they see it." Petunia: perfectly clean, perfectly normal, perfect health, perfectly perfect.

So the parents in the second movie send the dog to a cabin in the woods for knocking stuff off the table, but when they come back to their house, find that the dog has escaped & returned to the house, and see that there is trash all over the place along with THREE LITERAL CORPSES, they're like "aw, Bone's back, yay :) " edit: also, Petunia in the first movie is 100% adorable, what the hell is wrong with everybody

The dad in the dog home alone movie is played by the same guy who plays the dad of the titular wizards in Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place. In that series, they have a portal to the wizard world which is literally just a blank void, just like the blank void in the dog movie. This definitely means this movie is taking place in the wizard world, and Bone is a human under a spell to look like a dog or something

"this is stephanie, she's dumb as shit" had me CRY LAUGHING

The funniest part is that petunia just looks like a normal dog, and they just assign “ugly” as her character trait

😂18:04 “ well I don’t see any broken bones, my guess is she has a concussion” as they’re petting healthy happy dog with her tongue out 👅 🐶

35:58 Based on how violent this movie was I totally expected the tree to be topped with one of the robber's severed heads

Petunia: *literally just existing* Everyone: that dog is a monster

“This is the worst Christmas ever” accompanied by a shot of dog riding a skateboard is so funny

The cut to Drew's disappointment and Amanda just taking in all the delicious chaos in at 33:43 warms my heart

The rewatchability on all your movie reviews is so good.

“What’s up with the white boy and the ugly dog” is the single funniest line I’ve heard in a movie ever

I feel like that kids tonight show has a very specific target audience and that audience is Jimmy Fallon exclusively

I can’t stopping thinking about how poor Petunia will probably be punted by Jack next time he’s mildly inconvenienced 😭 like she’s so cute, let me have her, I don’t DESTROY PRIVATE PROPERTY when I’m mad

I'm fully convinced the dog in the second movie subconciously wanted to take revenge on his human owners and destroyed their entire home in an act of, "You WANT me to be the bad guy? Then I WILL be the bad guy." The robbers were merely just guinea pigs. The bulldog who warned him was never real and represented his inner evil.

I’m stuck on the fact that if the robbers had succeeded the family would have lost less money than the amount they’re gonna need to repair all the damage their skate boarding murderous dog did

For some reason I never thought about the fact that Drew watches the movies he reviews with Amanda. I always just pictured him watching them alone with a completely blank expression.

32:37 The fact that the dude in the second movie could have just turned off the shower or the drain would just take in all the water. like, if shutting the shower door would do that, why have a shower door🥲

My favorite part of the dog Home Alone parody is the fact that the burglars hired a dog catcher, and the dog catcher has a jacket labeled "Dog Catcher" with a skull and crossbones on it lmao

the fact that petunia is genuinely a cute dog makes me think that the director just had beef with her

29:32 obsessed with this sequence. a one-two punch of a clip. who wants tiramisu indeed

They absolutely should have been madder at Jack. On top of almost getting Petunia killed, how much money did he cost those about-to-be-unemployed shelter workers in emergency vet bills to make sure she was okay?

Just realized the dad in Alone for Christmas is also the dad from Wizards of Wavery Place... that's why physics aren't right in their world and they get sucked into voids so often. It's magic.

I feel like they weren’t able to find a genuinely ugly dog to play Petunia and just gave up

I think I loved alone for christman. Just the parts where the dog was carrying stuff. He looked like he was trying so hard to be a good actor and he deserves all the credit from this movie.

rewatching this to get into the holiday spirit and did anyone notice that every time drew or amanda say oh my god the captions say oh my gosh. nothing else is censored it's just that

They really did a "not like other girls, I read Stephen King and Harry Potter" as if they're not the most popular authors worldwide.

Peacock did the unthinkable: they took one of the most photogenic dogs ever in Golden retrievers and turned them into terrifying animated hell hounds straight out of someone's sleep paralysis nightmare.

my nan gifted me the dvd version of "alone for christmas" when I was a child. she has gifted me loads of other gems over the years that i haven't even bothered to watch. keep in mind I'm australian and i've got the dvd, so this movie is somehow not only out of the US, but accessible for my nan to buy for me. it's a global sucess.

Amanda's bemused smile at the terrible CGI wave crashing through the house made me laugh so hard

I’m confused: when the dog traps the thief in the running shower, why can’t the thief just turn off the shower and not drown?

The “it ony a movie” line actually almost killed me. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time man. Holy shit that was great

The only explanation I can think of for the batshit insane physics is that the script was written with the intention of the movie being animated, but they didn't have the budget or something.

15:25 “What was that for?” “I’m angry” we can see that and appreciate your honesty jack!

This family hates their dog for sleeping near where a mess is made, but then they're pleased as punch to come home and find that the house is a wreck and there are three deceased men under the tree.

I like how when Jack screams “You stupid ugly dog!” He moves his arms like he’s rapping.

Your honour, I couldn't have murdered those three men. I was in the void.

“They left out milk and then went on vacation!?” Nah, clearly the dog baked those cookies and set out the milk.

Petunia is genuinely one of the most normal-ass looking dogs I’ve ever seen

As someone who works in a kennel he's right, the dogs are constantly stabbing each other we dont even know where they get the knives we just walk in and one dog is stabbing another dog.

I need a 10 hour loop of Drew repeating “Christmas Town!”

With that first movie, the most unrealistic part is that the dogs aren’t all either hounds or terrier “mixes” (If you see a rescue listed as a “terrier mix” it’s a pit). Trust me, the small cute dogs don’t have any trouble getting adopted.

With all the petunia set up, I really thought they'd get her to be adopted by a blind person

Listen Drew, I think this game of hide and seek would have gone a _lot_ better if you didn’t restrict me to just this one room

My favorite part about the car in the void is you can tell it’s intentional because there’s a very small window behind the girl in the back and it has normal trees and stuff in the background

I think about "barely a candle's flame" so often. Why was he written like a Victorian orphan for that one line and then none of the others

not me getting irrationally angry at everyone calling Petunia ugly?? she's actually really cute?? the poor baby

My grandma just told me she's watching a movie that's "like Home Alone, but it's dogs!" and you'll never guess what it is.... she's having the time of her life

The property damage this dog caused is probably more than the loss of any robbed items.

I know its a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but at 29:38... they used the guy picking his head up off the ground and reversed it, instead of filming him dropping his head, and I cannot get over that.

Is anyone else gonna acknowledge the fact that Drew ended his last video starting a game of hide and seek with us and then began this video finishing his count to 100?

Pleased to see that Drew isn’t skipping his annual Christmas movie-induced spiral into rage-filled insanity

"Your honor, I was in the Void"

“Cryan” “BUT THE PAPER SAYS RYAN” nearly murdered me

fun fact: “alone for christmas” used to be called “bone alone” and it was my favourite movie growing up😭

“Come on, Terry. Make my Christmas.” EXCUSE ME?! 🤣

I noticed a few days ago that Peacock finally changed the controls for fast forward/rewind to a RU-vid style method. It took a year, but they finally listened.

I like how in these home alone movies, the damage caused by “protecting the house” would always cost more than actually just letting the robbery take place.

Really love how that one robber just chose to fill the shower box with water, almost drowning themselves, while the option to just turn the shower off was completely open.

Ever saw " A talking cat???" ? In comparison, the mouth animation of the dogs in "Alone for Christmas" is downright Oscar-worthy.

Every time I rewatch this video I have to make sure I’m not eating during the “Twas barely a candles flame” because the first time I watched it I laughed so hard I spit

Ok, this is driving me insane. Why did they pick a perfectly normal looking terrier to play Petunia when they already had a Chinese Crested, one of the ugliest dog breeds out there? They literally HAD an ugly (affectionate) dog, and they deliberately chose NOT to use it for the dog whose defining character trait is that it's really ugly. It really feels like the director just hated that specific terrier and wanted to single her out.

Wow, so heartwarming to see Ryan enter her first abusive relationship.

Can't believe I've seen the day where they cast incredibly conventionally attractive dogs in roles that are meant for dogs with different body types, smh.

I like how at 20:49 you can see the dog is holding a ball that they likely threw in the box so he would go in there

The best part of the "Home Alone but with a dog" concept is that, when you take away the traps, there's nothing remotely zany about that premise. Dogs attack intruders constantly. They're a widely recognized threat that humans already steer clear of, so much so that many will forgo a security system in favor of a 'Beware of Dog' sign. The entire point of Home Alone is that a child shouldn't be a threat to a pair of wanted criminals. The comedy hinges on that power imbalance. They very easily could've played into that by having a small dog pretend to be a big dog (the way Kevin pretended to be an adult), but then, that would require filmmakers capable of recognizing the intellectual nuance of a film like Home Alone.

"It ony a movie" is actually perfect for all of these trainwrecks. But I do want to say that the dog actors were all incredible, 100 %, flawless in their performances. Unlike the humans.

The amount of times I've rewatched this video is insane

I love the second one because the dog who plays Bone was clearly so happy to be doing a good job and looked so cute while he was trying to kill three men

Jack literally set a sign on fire because of a discussion. It only makes sense people would be afraid of him

I was an extra in Christmas Town. The fake snow straight up smelled like melted plastic.

Drew is definitely my comfort youtuber.... whenever I need to laugh I come back to his videos (specifically this one lol)

At 34:57 I love to imagine that there is a person angerly throwing silverware at him.

"I hate it in the void, there's no color, sound, or time here." This actually had me crying.
