Sequels That Aren't Sequels (The Sequel) 

"I silently vowed to devote my life to stopping other psycho killers" *proceeds to kill 8 innocent people*

She said she is going to dedicate herself to killing other killers... she didn’t kill any more killers after that promise. Wtf.

Mila even told viewers to boycott the movie when she came to know its being renamed american psycho 2

american psycho 2 is literally like some kind of fanfiction and it's hilarious

make a "Unnecessary Prequels, The Prequel" to complete an unnecessary trilogy.

if he drove up north for snow, why didn’t he just buy the toy up north?

Not sure how a 12 year old girl knew that Patrick Bateman was a “notorious serial killer”. Nobody knew. He covered up his crimes completely. Not only that, he’s a single businessman. Where did she come from?

"Patrick Bateman, the world's most notorious Serial Killer." They somehow managed to completely dismantle the entire point of the movie in just one sentence. The entire joke/message of the original American Psycho is Patrick Bateman was a life-long, elusive serial killer hidden in plain sight that slowly started to unravel throughout the film because he felt his "mask of humanity" was slipping away... only to discover that, by the end of the film, he lives in a world and society so ridiculously narcissistic and self-centered that Patrick Bateman's existence is basically invisible. When Patrick completely loses it and manically confesses all his crimes to his lawyer in a crazed phone message, the next day that lawyer laughs about it because he thinks it was a practical joke on one of the other guys in the office... When he talks to Patrick Bateman directly he doesn't even realize its him, his own lawyer calls him "Davis" who is actually someone else that works in the office, and when Patrick doubles down on his confession and tries to impress upon him about the fact that his killing of Paul Allen was not a joke, his lawyer tells him its impossible because he "had dinner with him twice in London 10 days ago." The entire story is supposed to be a commentary of wallstreet and big business culture (particularly the era of the "Gordon Gecko" power broker in the 80's) and how its a society that cares about literally nothing else but wealth and status. Every social interaction these people have is solely to make money or elevate their own position.. the only time they even properly remember each other's names is when their fawning over each other's business cards. Patrick Bateman's true nature is that of a Psychopath, and throughout the movie he's terrified of letting his nature be revealed to the world because it will be his end, but then his discovers by the end of the movie that he's actually surrounded himself in a world of sociopaths that are either too self-centered to notice who Patrick really is, or worse, genuinely do not care. I'm not sure if it was the author's intention or not, but there's even a case to be made that there could be some allegorical aspect to the story that's related to sexual assault and misconduct in the business world, kind of like how Harvey Weinstein's true nature of being a disgusting, groping and command raping monster was somewhat of an open secret in Hollywood and no one did anything about it for years because it wasn't in their self interest to do so. "Most notorious serial killer" defeats the entire spirit in which the original story was penned.

The sequel that isn’t a sequel that I hate the most is *Mean* *Girls* *2*

“And I vowed to kill any psycho killer” then kills a bunch of innocent people

i love how larry drives so far to bring his kid snow but he couldn't drive a half hour to get the toy at a different location

I feel like the only way to turn this movie around would've been to focus on how society often romanticizes serial killers and make them seem cooler than they actually are, so they have this warped perception of their actions. If this movie was about a different character obsessed with Patrick Bateman and whoever Mila Kunis is and had this obsession of trying to "redeem" them, then I would see how it could be a viable sequel.

It's like in the original, the writers actually knew the symptoms of psychopathy and narcissism. The second one had the romanticized tumblr version

honorable mentions: - mean girls 2 - grease 2 - tooth fairy 2 (also starring Larry the Cable Guy)

I read that Bale made himself sweat during the cards scene, simply incredible.

"american psycho 2 is a movie no one asked for" and by the sound of it, also a movie that technically no one actually made

How powerful would it have been had he just made a video completely unrelated to the original

The ending to America Psycho 2 sounds like the beginning of Crank That Soulja Boy

3:30 I love how the other card is actually better. Bateman's one has some rookie mistakes, like not making the name stand out more in relation to "vice-president" text

Mila just was in a silly goofy devious mood

I cannot believe this man makes me watch an ad read because i dont want to miss out on any jokes

*drew hyping up the original american psycho for 16 minutes straight*

9:22 "She killed eight people" "Rachel Newman is one in a billion". John Wayne Gacy killed 33 people and he doesn't get that type of credit.

One other dumb thing Drew didn't mention when he was talking about American Psycho 2 was that Mila's character killed the person she was pretending to be the entire movie, but after we learn this fact we never get her actual name. What's the point of telling us "oh this person you thought was Rachel actually murdered the real Rachel and took her place" only to not tell us who we've actually been following this whole time?

“She was one in a million” Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, The zodiac killer left the chat

such a disappointment that you didn't have danny or someone else do the commentary in this video for you. that way its more in the vein of the sequels that aren't sequels.

I think you honestly missed an important part of American Psycho. Bateman started killing and torturing people because of the emptiness he felt. He tried incredibly hard to be visible with no avail, and he, to some extent, recognised that his life is just a facade to fit in with society.

If Larry the Cable Guy drove all that way to get snow, he could have gotten the toy from a different town

Mila Kunis: "I dedicated myself to killing the other psychos" Also Mila Kunis after there's competition for a TA job: "...Or random students, that works too"

that ending shot is the girl in front of the house burning down

but if your mama said "you can do better than that" (6:40) doesn't that just mean you're bad at sex?

12:20 The execution of that joke was flawless. Good job Drew.

I want an American Psycho 3 where Patrick Bateman comes back from the grave to get revenge against Mila Kunis for killing him and ruining his legacy

You know what American Psycho 2 is missing A watermark

The American psycho book shows Patrick’s separation from reality a lot more clearly also, he specifically mentions hallucinating things so in some ways he’s a lot more aware of his separation (not trying to be annoying and say the book was better 🙏 the movie is amazing)

American Psycho made it clear that Patrick Bateman isn't someone you want to root for. By the end of the movie you just want to see him be punished for his actions, but American Psycho 2 wants you to root for the killer and it just doesn't work.

I really think that if American Psycho 2 had been officially released as a stand-alone film as intended, it could have become like a campy cult classic

So basically the executives just said "Shut up, Meg."

The "not like other girls" is strong with this one

Dexter is more of a sequel to American Psycho than American Psycho 2, right down to referencing Patrick Bateman in the first season. Also, American Psycho is an absolute masterpiece!!

“American Psycho 2” gives off Jennifer’s Body vibes but without the charm

Patrick Bateman's business card inner monologue kills me every time

You could literally just yell "YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF THE MOVIE" over and over for the commentary of the first one and it would still be spot on.

4:31 "Patrick? PATRICK??! PAAATRIIIIICK!!!!"

*That's what your momma said*

_This isn't even a sequel. smh_

The ending of American Psycho heavily implies that it’s all in Bateman’s head and he actually hasn’t killed anyone. It also only makes sense if it is, there’s big clues in the movie such as when he kills that hooker with the chainsaw dropping it perfectly in position down the stairs and how the body in the apartment he left is gone or when he’s been chased by the helicopter on a shooting spree yet then nothing happens. Plus the big one being the guy who said he had lunch with Paul Alan. So AP2 already retcons that.

6:10 all I can think of is: "Shut up Meg!!!!"

This isn't really a sequel.

drew is this your way of transitioning from being a commentary channel to a movie review channel because i'm here for it

9:04 being canadian jesus christ this took me off guard 🤣🤣 i forget “goof” is only a serious insult in Canada

I'm going to make a statement here: american psycho would work in a meangirls-like high school setting. Patrick Bateman is a meangirl, he is rich, very vain, only interested in what is popular and will give him social points and sees people as things to use, just like Regina Goerge if she was an adult man with serial killer fantasies (she might have those already).

oh my gosh I'm so mad with this sequel Danny gonzalez was such a great actor in the first video and I have no idea why this "drew gooden" is trying to replace him smh also what happened to the relationship between drew and Arnold. In the first one, drew constantly flirts with Arnold. They clearly love each other. The stupid sequel though completely messed it up, making them only just become friends at the end of the movie.

the closing shot looks like that meme of the little girl smiling in front of the burning house

12:31 You can actually drive up the mountains of Hawaii, fill your truck bed with snow and drive back down before it melts. Heck, People go skiing and to the beach in the same day. Does anyone care? Probably not, but I'll still put it out there. Lol

I could listen to drew talking about American psycho for hours even if I never watched it Update: watched it and loved it

I'm gonna need him to drop that skin care routine

you’re missing the worst one... mean girls 2

I like how the executives taking over the original name is so ironic since the original film was a satire of executives

“Rachael Newman was one in a billion, she’s in a league of her own” Also Rachael: Didn’t even crack the top one hundred serial killers.

Do you guys remember the movie Tooth Fairy with The Rock? It was like an ex-hockey player (Played by Dwayne) becomes a Tooth Fairy and goes on a wacky, zany adventure. Very good movie, well-received by all critics. What most people don't know this but they actually made a sequel to it. Dwayne is unfortunately not in the sequel, but Larry the Cable Guy replaced his role so we can't really complain

My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.

I remember when I got this on DVD. A double set with both part 1 and 2 costed less than just one American Psycho DVD. I was looking to buy part 1 and they literally paid me a few cents to take part 2.

Casting Danny to replace you in your own sequel that isn't a sequel was a clever and funny choice.

I legit thought you edited in the music for that ending shot in American Psycho 2 as a joke but nope lolol. Its like they were ending a teen comedy lmao

"She killed 8 people, which we know of. Rachel Newman is one in a billion." *Somewhere, the real Patrick Bateman is sitting in class, profusely sweating, and on the verge of losing his mind* "Impressive."

just got tricked into watching an entire sponsor segment, this dude is legitimately talented

I laugh more times in your ads alone than I do in an episode of SNL. Thanks for the dopamine, Drew.

“Yup I just killed Brian” That made me thinks of family guy and now the intro is stuck in my head

petition to make the production company release *the girl who wouldn't die* as it should have been before the bateman-not-bateman storyline was hatcheted in.

6:54 Wait, didn't she say at the very beginning of the movie that she intended to kill "other psycho killers??" Ala Dexter??? Yet all the people she kills in this movie are innocent...Jesus Christ this movie really is lazy garbage isn't it

I can listen to drew talk about his funny little movies for hours.

I kinda wanna see a “despecialized edition” of The Girl Who Would Not Die just to see how much better it would have been. Probably not that good but it wouldn’t be as bad

WHAT SHE LITERALLY SOUNDS LIKE A TROOM TROOM NARRATOR JDJDNXJDNSJ

the "I wonder if it's gonna melt :)" is my favorite part of this entire video

Mean girls 2 and Carrie 2 fit in this category very well as well

Drew Gooden sounds like RU-vid John Mulaney change my mind

Make a sequels that aren't sequels 3 that's just a completely unrelated video

Out of all the great jokes and awesome takes in this video, 12:18 is my favorite part hands down and that scares me

american psycho is so genius because on the surface it is a pretty typical horror, slasher flick. but underneath that is an absolutely hilarious satire on the absurdity and hypocrisy of the upper class. i think that’s what whoever decided to force this into being a sequel missed about the original

American Psycho 2 just reinforces how badly the original movie was marketed, the trailers and the posters really wanted the general public to think it was some scary and twisted crime drama like Silence of the Lambs when in reality it was something different. I bet many people back then went in expecting a horror movie and were disappointed to see a bunch of bussiness card talk.

i wön der if it’s 👁 👁 👃 👄 gonna melt

(5:55) as you’re describing how you interpret the movie you reminded me of a few scenes in Birds of Prey, the first one being Harley Quinn driving a truck into that place and her imagining a big beautiful colourful explosion; meanwhile in the cop lady’s perspective it was just a destructive explosion and fire.

What I love in Bale's American Psycho was his first kill was not shown but was implied through a laundry then we get a glimpse of Christian Bale's amazing shift from a smiling to glaring as he exits the laundromat

*screams in legally blondeS*

This is just Meg Griffin fantasizing about going to college.

American Psycho is a film that is very much up to interpretation, to the point where you could make an argument that Patrick didn't actually kill anyone and it was all in his head, since he did kill a couple coworkers in an industry where people would know if someone went missing (I mean seriously, did you see Paul Allen's business cards? People would notice if someone with those cards went missing) while in AP2 Patrick is not only one of the serial killer GOATs, but he also gets taken out by a 12 year old girl... What probably happened was that the studio wanted to do a second American Psycho but couldn't get anyone from the first film to sign on for a legit sequel, so they just slapped the American Psycho title on something completely different

I haven’t seen the entire first American Psycho, but didn’t it turn out the Patrick Bateman didn’t actually kill anyone and it was all just in his mind?

the ending shot is like that meme of that little girl standing in front of a burning house lmao

I love how he explained American Psycho vs the "sequel." I'm a die hard American psycho/Patrick Bateman fan. I didnt even know there was a "sequel" until like a year ago when i came across it on demand, I literally watched the opening scene and as soon at Patrick Bateman was killed by a child, I turned it off. After watching this, I'm stoked I didnt sit through it. I'm actually offended. Whyyyy even try to taint a masterpiece of a movie?

This is worse than that time Meg killed Patrick Bateman *cuts away to Meg stabbing Bateman*

4:48 gets me every time

That final scene looks exactly like that photo of the girl in front of the burning house

Sequels that aren’t sequels 3 (the sequeling)

Imagine ending a movie with an orchestra hit

American psycho 2 gives off fanfiction/mary sue vibes so hard

I'm confused because American Psycho has a legitimate sequel The Rules of Attraction staring James Vanderbeek as Patrick Bateman's younger brother. It was based on the book written by the same person who wrote American Psycho.

I love how he explain basically the entire movie and everything and then doesn’t even try with jingle all the way

I wish Danny Gonzales was playing the part of Drew in this sequel. It’s really not the same without a completely different cast.

I watched American Psyco earlier for the first time... So amazing! Christian Bale was amazing
