**PURE INSANITY!!** Men in Black (1997) Reaction: FIRST TIME WATCHING 

Vincent D'Onofrio (Edgar and alien cockroach) gave one of the best performances of his career in this film 🤣

11:00 no, you don't get it. That actually WAS the test. Everyone else just put up with the discomfort, but he took initiative to improvise. Which is a big thing in Men in Black.

"This definitely rates a 9.0 on my Weird-Shit-O-Meter." Still one of my favorite lines ever.

I love this movie! What I appreciate is that Tommy Lee Jones can speak Spanish, and they put that in there as a skill.

Men in Black as a concept comes from conspiracy theorist / UFO lore, where it is used to describe government agents (in black suits) who allegedly interrogate, harass, memory-wipe or assassinate UFO witnesses. So yeah, that's why the movie is called that. Somebody took that concept and ran with it.

One of my fav quotes comes from this movie and it's from Tommy Lee's Char- "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it." Sad, but true.

The man behind the makeup is Rick Baker. He was nominated 12 times for Best Makeup at the Academy Awards. He won 7 of them. His first award was actually the very first one when the category was created. The movie was An American Werewolf in London. His seventh award was for The Wolfman.

Vincent D'Onofrio is such a great actor. If you want to see another great movie with Tommy Lee Jones, you should watch The Fugitive (1993)

did you notice that the actor who played the bug in the Edgar suit was the same actor who played Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket?

That was Vincent d'Onofrio as the Bug, yes, a stupendous actor, and clearly a fun one, too!

The scene where they are shaking the pug cracks me up every time.😂

You guys are so fun to watch and the sense of humor you both got is great!! I hope you two watch all 3 movies they are so great!!

I absolutely adore this trilogy. Anytime any of the movies air on tv, it will usually be put on in our household. Fun fact: this first movie is an Academy Award winning film! (For Best Makeup)

Do Men in Black 2 and 3 too!

Oh i think that guy in the morgue with the fly swatter was the wheelchair dude in Scary Movie 2. The one that got his head blown off and then it grew back i think i read is Tony Shalhoub (Monk, Mrs Maisel)

I loved this movie growing up! My mom and I used to watch it together and die laughing everytime because theres so many good jokes that you cab pick up the more you watch it same with the sequel. Elvis is not dead he just went home is one of my favorite jokes of all time. 😂😂 definitely a classic! 💗💗

It all comes around at the 3rd movie! Brilliant! Great Trilogy!

I think one of the best things about the Men in Black movies is that on the surface, Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith seem like a dynamic that wouldn’t have a lot of chemistry together, but they’re dynamic is just incredible 😆

The Farmer who gets killed and has an alien wearing his body isVincent D'onofrio --the King PIn in Daredevil ,the psychotic Marine Recruit in Full Metal Jacket ,breakout role in Mystic Pizza with Julia Roberts .

Definitely check out 2 & 3 as well, you two. All three are worth it!

I would love to see you two react to MIB2. The energy in this video was AWESOME.

I died at Nick’s face when she said she believes that the Earth is flat 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

PLEASE REACT TO THE TRILOGY (n°3 is my fav) also i recommend you : ★ *Small Soldiers* (1998) _/starring _*_Kirsten Dunst_*_ & _*_Tommy Lee Jones_*_ (voice)_ Directed by *Joe Dante* (Gremlins SAGA) ★ *Wild Wild West* (1999) _/starring _*_Will Smith_*_ & _*_Salma Hayek_* Directed by *Barry Sonnenfeld* (Men In Black SAGA) BONUS TRACK 🔥 *The Devil's Advocate* (1997) 🔥 starring *Al Pacino* , *Charlize Theron* & *Keanu Reeves* Directed by *Taylor Hackford*

One of the things to recognize with the marble scene is the scale of things. When you saw the galaxy on orion's collar, you commented on how small it is and if there are microscopic beings living in there. Put 2 and 2 together with the final scene being a relation to that scene. You thought that galaxy was small. Those aliens were playing marbles with several galaxies. To them, we would be just as tiny as you thought of the potential beings in the one on the collar. And what's to say that the marble playing aliens aren't in the same situation, and how many more levels does it go? Obviously, it is a plot point and not realistic since we can see several other galaxies outside the milky way, but it is something interesting to think about.

After ID and MIB, you must complete the 90's fun sci-fi trilogy by watching the Fifth Element (1997). An absolute blast!!

6:28 - Great pre-active joke here, Edgar getting stopped by the bug screen. 29:45 - They established when J was first getting screened that the towers were space ships in disguise. J remembered them by looking at the mural. All Edgar needed to do was recognize the ships on that postcard, which is why he took it. 39:17 - The idea that the government knows about aliens and has been keeping the knowledge from the public has been around ever since people started believing aliens exist. The image of men in suits has always been associated with government agencies, so the idea of men in suits covering up alien encounters developed fairly quickly and evolved into the concept of the Men in Black. This concept was adapted into a comic book in 1990 and the comic was the inspiration for the movies.

The DVD of this actually had a bonus feature of the scene where the ball bounces around the office but without the visual effects, and it's hilarious just watching people react to nothing and things moving for seemingly no reason whatsoever. It's probably somewhere on RU-vid if you want to look it up.

I really hope you do all three movies! The third one is by far my favorite.

You two had a lot of fun with this one. :-) You might like to see Tommy Lee Jones in "The Fugitive" along with Harrison Ford. Intense but very good. ....but I do like to see you have fun.

I love these movies, though 2 not as much. In the DVD special features, Vincent D'Onofrio said something like he spent 4 hours in makeup to, "Almost look like I normally do." It's wild to think that Vincent D'Onofrio went on to play Kingpin in the MCU. You never would've expected that based on this performance.

You guys have such great chemistry. Thanks for sharing!

Can't wait for the rest of the series!

I still call supermarket tabloids 'the Hot Sheets'. For more Tommy Lee Jones try THE FUGITIVE (1993), and the mini-series LONESOME DOVE (1989) a four-part Western mini-series based on a 1985 Larry McMurtry novel, starring Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones as former Texas Rangers who decide to become cattlemen in the 1870s. For an unrelated Action Rom/Com try ROMANCING THE STONE (1984) with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.

Funnily enough, in the Comic the Bugs look like a mix of dragonflies and humans rather than the giant cockroaches of the Film.

28:06 “Fxxxing…why did the cat do that?!?” If you can answer this simple question many of us ask every damn day, you will truly be a Jedi Master.

When J mentions his teacher, K knew who she was right away. How would he know that? I mean, they had only just met, right. That answer comes at the end of Men in Black III, the best one,

I see those two "space ships" in queens. On the grand central i believe. NY

I just realised, one of the officers at the start of the movie is Tara's dad in Buffy.

This was a rly fun movie, I loved the idea that a galaxy can be so tiny since we can't even process how small our solar system is in the universe 🙂 Oh u need to react to "I am Legend" and "Seven Pounds" after this, two of my favourites of Will Smiths acting And also "I, Robot" and "Hancock" are awesome too

You two are so adorable together.

The dragonfly at the beginning was a reference to the fact that in The Comic instead of looking like giant cockroaches The Bugs in The Comic looked more like a mix of humans and dragonflies, also most of them aside from Edgar were pacifists like the Arquillians.

One of the best movies of the 90s 😊

I saw a picture of this baby 17:59 that grew up to be a JEDI in EPISODE 2 of star wars

Still remember seeing this on VHS as a kid and the sequel in theaters thanks to some movie ticket coupons I won in school! Back when my local AMC theater wasn't a dine in theater and instead an acrade theater!

Great TLJ movie is the Fugitive, definitely watch that!

I saw this movie in the theater when I was 8 years old and I'm turning 35 tomorrow. I'm afraid it's all over, folks.

I love how the FX for the car going real fast is just sped up footage like student films in highschool

Jones' Spanish is better than mine. Tommy Lee Jones played a cop in The Eyes of Laura Mars(1978).

I really like the scene where all the potential recruits were shooting the targets and Will only shoots the little girl. if you think about it, it shows exactly the kind of perceptiveness an MIB agent would need. A majority of the aliens they'd be dealing with will be nonviolent so going in guns blazing every time they see a freaky alien would be bad. Whereas with an alien up to no good, you'd have to be on the lookout for subtle signs that wouldn't be immediately obvious to anyone else. It's a nice piece of subtle worldbuilding that isn't overtly explained to the audience but is obvious if you think about it.

Great reaction, as always! Definitely watch MIB 2 & 3. Both are good. Really like #3, because not only the original cast, but Josh Brolin as a young "K." He definitely pulls it off well. Great back story also.

You guys should DEFINITELY watch the other two movies in this series. They’re great! The 3rd is probably my fave of the 3! Also you should watch National Treasure! Great movies! Loved your reactions as usual! Thanks for all the work you guys put into these! It’s very much appreciated! Much love from Lake Cumberland Kentucky ❤

The globe and the two structures are real. They are from the 1965 NY World's Fair located in Flushing, Queens, NY( near the Mets Baseball stadium).

The Skinwalker (The Bug) always reminds me of the School Chef from "You can't do THAT on television" _"I 'eard tha-at!"_

Linda Fiorentino is a total badass in The Last Seduction. Wicked. 🖤

I went to Universal Studios and played the men in Black game and it was amazing because you basically you’re on the little car going around shooting at the aliens

Also, Kay`s much older, more cynical and humorless in The Comic. Jay and Dee are the conscience and Dee quits when he discovers a dark secret of the MIB rather than retiring of old age like in The Film, Dee`s also closer to Jay`s age in The Comic.

Next must be MiB2 and MiB3

18:53 One fun fact that I like that I recently discovered is J spat out the lemonade she made because Edgar drank all the sugar the night before they got there.

The movie was named after this urban legend: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_in_black

Men in Black started as a comic.

The baby design feels almost identical to Independence Day aliens

I love Tommy Lee Jones. My favorites of his movies are this, The Fugitive & U.S. Marshalls and Volcano. Another Will Smith favorite is Wild Wild West with Kevin Kline.

More aliens like Independence Day 👏🛸🔥

the tentacle attacking J was the Mother as she delivered the baby. Like when a mother squeezes the hand of their partner, she was banging him against the hood of the car as she brought her child into the world.

Lucky guy. She's adorable ✌️❤️

I hope you watch 2 and 3! Theyre such good movies!

At no point in history did a person ever think the Earth was flat...

6:07 Even if you can't see it, based on what you hear, it's probably best you couldn't. Sometimes it's what you don't see is scarier. 9:10 On imdb trivia they actually have the entire joke. 11:26 Real Test: who's smart enough to use the table. 11:55 Yeah he's not shooting indiscriminately like the others, he actually took time to analyze each target and come up with a good reason not to shoot. 12:36 K's like: Okay you still don't believe me, I'll just show you the aliens then to seal the deal. 16:44 This guy here plays Lurch in the Addams Family movies(Same director as Mib: Barry Sonnenfeld) 26:06 Remember Rosenberg was tiny too, for him and the other Arquillians the galaxy would be the size of a beachball. 31:01 That's the answer we all want it to be. 33:13 Just this giant squirmy bug with all those legs stuffed into the Edgar suit(and we've seen him constantly adjusting himself to keep from poking out like nails in a burlap sack) nevermind the fact that even his ship was way smaller than he is snd he still managed to fit in it. 38:12 Earlier Frank the pug says that something important can even be very very small like size of a marble or a jewel. The other galaxy was used as a jewel on the cats collar and this galaxy is being used as a marble.

I want to watch Men In Black 2 and 3.

Iconic! Pls react to *Men In Black 3* 💫 the 2nd one is not a big deal (it's fun tho), but the 3rd movie is great :)

What always surprised me about the test of the "applicants" at the organization's HQ was how little the boys made use of their improvisational talent. No thinking outside the box. Will Smith, only used the obvious thing, namely the table. But it could also have been permanently installed and therefore immovable. It may be my German mindset, but I would have just gotten out of the silly 70s armchair and filled out the questionnaire on top of the thing. Of course, that means writing while standing. Often the simplest solution is the smartest. Because with the low table, you'll get back pain in no time while writing from this armchair...

Men In Black is my favourite Will Smith and Tommy lee Jones movie. I mean from both actors. My second favourite Will movie is Independence Day and Jones is The Fugitive

comedy gold, the actors great, story...so much fun!

This movie cracks me up 😂

Throwing in another UFO sci-fi/comedy recommendation, REPO MAN (1984) with Emilio Estevez. Feels like it influenced Quentin Tarantino’s LA films

Part 2 when man?

Vincent D'onofrio 😎 is one of my favorite actors - he was convincing as the cockroach here, but he's also amazing in Law & Order Criminal Intent, and as the whacked-out recruit in Full Metal Jacket. 👍

500 years ago everyone did *not* know the world was flat. Most had known it was round for at least a millennium or two

Masterpiece ever. Great

You two should watch Galaxy Quest, I think you'd really have a blast!

I just came looking for people who saw the series so please finish the trilogy, this was fun

This is really such a fun movie and never takes itself seriously. You guys are a super cute couple and I love watching your reactions.

This movie series is great. I also really loved the Men In Black song Will Smith did for it. =)

One of my favourite movies of the 90s. Always a fantastic reaction. Wynn (?)'s energy is amazing. So enjoyable to see you two reacting together. The banter is priceless.

Since I saw this movie I want to have a pug dog and that car "Ford LTD Crown Victoria Sedan 1981 black" XD

Please react to MIB 2.

It must be hard to make a video about this movie tiptoeing around the score! The Danny Elfman soundtrack plays a HUGE role

Knowing this movie is about aliens is not a "spoiler". Movies are not anticipated and then seen in a vacuum. People tend to know a bit about a movie before watching it.

Sorry Nick, I didn't quite understand: had you already seen this movie in full, or just had some background knowledge on it? Great reaction either way of course :)

The galaxy they were looking for was the Milky Way galaxy

You have to do the rest of the trilogy

I've seen this film I don't know how many times, but it was just today that I realized the joke about the NYPD acronym when he was chasing his 1st alien -- "[k]Nock Your Punk-ass Down!" And if you need more Tommy Lee Jones, might I suggest "The Fugitive?"

Please watch Galaxy Quest!

Please react to the rest of MiB 😍

This is based on a comic book of the same name.

For fun you should check out Will Smith's Men In Black music video!

I love this movie. There was an animated series that was very good. This is the only movie I like from the franchise.

You guys are a great pair at reacting... The way you react together is lovely. You make a beautiful couple... Thor has found his Sif! I love this movie! MIB 2 is great as well, better even in some ways. The test scene means he passed, because he adapted to the situation in an unconventional way that no one else even considered. Something crucial in that line of work. The other test shows that he is using his brains instead of prejustice in a hostile situation. He's not going by how they look but what seems truly suspicious. Another crucial matter in that line of work. Not all aliens are bad even if we think they are odd-looking or even ugly.

In the beginning credits it shows that it's based on a comic book series.

Men in Black 2 is amazing but I adore Men in Black 3.
