The Bye Bye Man (They Really Called The Movie That) 

"The Bye Bye Man" is such an un-scary title, even variations on the same theme could be scarier: -The Farewell Fellow -The Toodleoo Tyrant -The Catch Ya Later Creep Then again, maybe they should have just titled this "Don't watch it, don't rent it".

🎶 Don't think it, don't say it! Pee Pee Maaaaan in Poo Poo Laaaaand! 🎶

"I hate maggots. They're squishy, slimey, and irritating. And thry get everywhere. Not like you. You see, you, are clean and beautiful"

I think the Lamp from Amityville Horror 4 should team up with Bye Bye Man to pull hilarious pranks on people

Wow this movie is like if Freddy Krueger had severe brain damage.

"Doomsinger" is an excellent name and a wasted concept. Now imagine if instead of Bye Bye Man, the killer who only kills you if you know his name had the cool and catchy name of Doomsinger, and after killing people he always stole their eyes and tongues, then incorporated those into his body. He could also supernaturally mimic the voices of people whose tongues he's stolen!

This is what happens when you want to make a Ouija movie, Slenderman movie, a Beetlejuice movie in one film. And fail in all accounts.

The sequel coming soon. "The hello hello man" if you DON'T think about him, he kills you.

The only reason he's called the Bye Bye Man is because you'll be saying "bye bye" to your money.

The only thing I got out of this is that I want Wabuu socks

Interesting to know that the silly named movie ACTUALLY had some neat ideas, a good story from the book...and they didn't use them well or at all. That would have required giving a shit.

This movie's bad CGI is the scariest thing about it.

Me: I love the OG Star Wars Trilogy! "You're too YOUNG to remember that!" Me: Well can't argue with that.

3:49 that woman was one of my acting professors at my university. Every time someone mentioned this movie she got really embarrassed. She occasionally gets two-three dollar royalty checks from doing it.

Of all the wrestlers in the history of the WWF/WWE, you picked Mankind to dress up as for Halloween? You got good taste, bro.

The Bye Bye Man looks like he could be a Next Mutation villain.

Q: How do you make the Bye-Bye Man even more pathetically embarrassing to someone? A: Tell them it was also an adaptation of a better story.

Dang it man. Its official you wrestling halloween champion of the world lmao

When I see "The Bye-Bye Man" all I can think of is Allison calling him the "Pee-Pee Poo-Poo Man" 😂😂

*PHELOUS HAS BECOME ...MANKIND*

So Bye Bye man didn't really kill anyone. Everyone just killed themselves. Poor guy probably just wanted a friend.

I honestly can't even take the name seriously. The premise of a killer that will kill you if you say or even think their name could be creepy if done competently, but between the ridiculous name and stupid decisions the characters make it's just hard to get invested in.

Phelous reviewing a horror movie The Day Before Halloween dresses Mankind? I can safely assume that we'll all HAVE A NICE DAY!

The President's Vampire Why the hell wasn't this made into a movie.

The name would be better if they went with more of a childhood horror angle for the film itself.

Do you know the Bye Bye Man, The Bye Bye Man, the Bye Bye Man? Do you know the Bye Bye man? He travels on a train.

The writers know that college isn't highschool, right? IRL the Professor probably wouldn't give a shit if someone looked at their phone for a minute or so.

If he uses the coins to lead you to his name the movie shouldve been him leading the mains to his real name, bc Bye Bye Man sounds like something a kid would come up with. The little girl shouldve seen him, made up that name when she mentions it to/gets asked something about whatever by the mains (bc they gotta find out somehow) and since its not his real name the mains throwing it around has no effect. They think the supernatural coin appearances are leading them to answers on how to beat/get rid of him but its just him leading them to their deaths. Or...something akin to that I dunno I just remember seeing ads for this and thinking a child would be who gave him that name.

This movie might have redeemed itself if at the end the Bye-Bye Man had revealed he only killed people who said his name because he didn't want others to know that there was someone around with such a stupid-ass name.

"Stop trying to make the name bye bye man happen. It's not going to happen." - Regina George

"All aboard the Contextless Expreeess!" I hope this finds its way into day to day conversations.

Phelous is looking like he's in the mood for Chef Boyardee Overstuffed beef ravioli.

The sickening thing about this is the movie made more than three times its budget back. But the horrific part of this is that the studio paid almost seven and a half million dollars to make it. I could do with seven and a half million dollars. Hell, I could do with just half a million dollars.

Seems the Bye Bye Man’s got his own hype train going.

Said it before and I'll say it again. The Bye Bye Man sounds like the name of a Nick Jr. show villain.

I always thought that "The Bye Bye Men" was the inofficial name of N'Sync.

i'm a little surprised to learn that "Bye Bye Man" was based on an older story--i was basically convinced that it was more "off-brand Slender Man" (never saw it myself and don't care to ever bother with it)

The Bye Bye Man is the dumbest title I've ever heard. You might as well call the next killer Goo-Goo-Ga-Ga Man.

The BEST thing about this movie is an interview bit with the guy who plays the Bye Bye Man in which the cutest, bounciest squirrel ever really wants to be friends with him. The only place I've seen it is on the ralphthemoviemaker video (at 28.34). It's worth it. Also: nice costume, sir.

That Mick Foley impression was spot on! Also it's always nice seeing you review a Horror Movie once again. :)

“I love how the floors are not sound anymore and maybe we’ll fall to our deaths! What an adventure!” I dunno phelous, I’m a fan and everything, but I feel like wandering around an old house with a dangerous floor is exactly your idea of a fun adventure

Sequels coming soon: The Hi Hi Man. The Cry Cry Man. The Lie Lie Man. The Sigh Sigh Man. The Pie Pie Man. The Zombie Fisherman Will Forever Know What You Did Last Summer, Man.

Wait. So. A monster that comes for you when you know his name. That kinda reminds me of a Freakazoid episode. Where the bad guy would kidnap you if you said his name. I don't really remember much but I think it was Candlejack? OH GODDA-

I know where the fire in the house in the end came from: Bye Bye Man is actually set in Foodfight's universe, where your home destroys itself when you die. It also explains Bye Bye Man's dumb name, he's actually a product mascot. Also, glad to see a new ""horror"" movie review from you, especially if it's Don't Say It, Don't Spray It; keep up the good form!

"Whelp, time to draw Wabuu on a sock."

The PeePee PooPoo Man

At least the Quebec French title ("Ne dis rien", meaning "Say nothing") is easier to take seriously.

The movie had me thinking about that famous Beatles song: "You say bye bye, and I say bye bye. Bye bye, bye bye. I don't know why you say bye bye I say bye bye." Or whatever.

Ah man, Mick Foley reviewing a horror film? What a treat! I wonder where Phelous is ;)

I personally always felt that the Bye Bye Man had potential. But it's clear the people who made it had zero ambitions to reach it. The Bye Bye Man doesn't do anything really throughout the movie, the logic of the characters and the story makes no sense, and it really does come off as a first draft of a story devoid of polish.

The ransome card gag really got me 🤣

The most unrealistic thing about this movie is the fact that a bunch of college students can afford to live in a house like that. (Unless they're renting it. The it's actually a bit too accurate.) After a $160k house gave me a concussion for having ceilings that are too low and a flooded basement, this house looks like a mansion in comparison. "Pfft. I don't care if this place is haunted by a serial killer. The stairs are actually made for human feet! I'm taking it!"

so wait: if you said "Bye Bye, man" to a friend, would you be haunted by him? why isn't this freak spread like a viral video then?

Love the Mankind costume. Also cool seeing a belt with the WWF logo on it instead of the WWE one.

This whole film is a joke. And I'm not laughing.

Most of these January horror films are SOOOOOOOOO STUPID.

“Don’t say it, Don’t pee it!” Me on the toilet: Oh boy.

I love the mick foley impression and mankind getup so perfectly spot on 👍 keep up being super phelous ❤️

Happy Halloweenie!

when i watched this movie for the first time, I felt so weird, confuesd and frustrated. just by the name and the first part of the movie, i already hated it. also one more thing, i hope we get more " old man reads creepypasta's" those were some good videos too.

I appreciate the acknowledgement of the IT miniseries given how much people tend to overlook it with the new films, despite those not handling certain elements as well as the series. Though it's not perfect I genuinely do think it's a better *adaptation* at least.

This just makes me think of when they took the genuinely-creepy la llorona folklore and just made a shitty Conjuring spinoff on it!

This movie is so unrememberable that after my mom and I watched it, we completely forgot we had seen it and some months later started watching it again. We realized we had seen it when we saw the opening, the only kind of interesting part, and finally remembered that we had seen it before. But we still didn't remember most of the movie

Bye Bye Man Bye Bye Man does whatever Bye Bye can. 15:18 this would be creepier without the dog sound, but this movie is dumb, so...

This was the movie that made Ralph snap. Truly, a movie among movie.

So can the Bye Bye Man only get you if you know his name, or just that he exists? The widow seems alive because she didn't hear the name, but if that's the case, couldn't the characters tell people about Bye Bye Man by not calling him by his name? "There is something after us, and if you know his name, he will come after you too." Would that be safe to say since you don't specifically reference the name? Does only the English version of his name work at cursing people? If only knowing he exists is the problem, does that mean reading or hearing the name is fine so long as no one explains what the name belongs too and what it does? I have so many questions, and this film answers none of them. You learn more about Bye Bye Man by watching this review than you do from watching the film.

Yeah! I really wanted for you to review this mess! And THANK YOU for make an effort and try to compile the bits and pieces of mythology of the BBM, something no reviewer did, cause it gives a little more clarity of what they tried to do with the movie. Also, love the perm

We need Lucy from Dingo Pictures saying “Bye Bye” to Mrs McDonald to be a real Phelous review!!

Phelous you look so handsome and review movies real good

Look at this Palpatine ripoff for the Bye Bye Man.

"But there ain't no plot. Bye bye bye BYE MAN!" That's my favorite joke in this video.

Fun Fact: The librarian was in Lars von Trier's DOGVILLE. I assume this film was some kind of depression-induced hallucination created out of pure spite.

I recommend you covering “Truth or Dare.” It tries WAY to hard to scare its audience 😂

sequel idea: the bye bye man takes manhattan... not a horror movie, just a film where he gets bored of killing and scaring and wanders around new york touristing... there's probably a scene where he befriends an adorable orphan and scares her bullies...

Holy ish phelous could play a helluva mankind in a biopic

a phelan horror review, what a nice treat to have after a shitty day.

I'm amused by how matter-of-factly Phelous is talking about something called "The Bye Bye Man."

So "Bye Bye Man" is the word? Everybody knows the BIRD is the word !

This movie is like the director half-remembered a 3am cable screening of CANDYMAN from five years ago.

Mankind ❤️ have a nice day!

I love this channel it's so underrated I wish more people knew about it 😔

The guy who made Bye Bye Man must have been a big fan of Boogeyman 3.

Happy all hallows eve to all and all a spooky one. This was the icing on the cupcake, really ripped the bye bye a new one Phelous.

I went to Google to try to figure out why the heck this supernatural horror has a dog and came across an interview where the director talks about how they thought about putting the Bye Bye Man in a bowler hat. So, uh, picture that. I still don't know why he has a dog, but I did learn the dog was a Cane Corso named Nico who hated his costume. Poor pup, he wanted to escape the movie.

The use of Ghostbusters clips whenever someone goes into an abandoned building is still hilarious

I'm in love with your cosplay it's absolutely ON POINT!

My friends and I really missed your horror movie reviews. Thanks!

Admittedly I clicked on the video as quickly as I did only because I saw Mankind in the thumbnail 😂

This is a Great Video Phelous!

Thank god for Phelous!! Helping me through another lousy day!

Cooties wasn't actually that bad of a movie. It has a Goosebumps story feel to it. And I saw bye bye man recently and even without the information from the anthology book phelous has in the first 4 minutes, already explained more than it feels the whole movie did... I retained nothing of the story after watching the movie. I even forgot the dog.

I remember hearing about this movie, it's like if Nightmare on Elm Street was REALLY stupid. (Nightmare on Elm Street remake pops up) still rather watch that than bye bye man.

I love your reviews, sir.

The scene with the maggots in Kim's hair may be an homage to Dario Argento's classic thriller Susperia, where one of the girls at the dance school finds maggots in her hair because they're raining down from the floor above. Of course, that would require the makers of this movie to have actually seen Susperia, which would mean they might actually have a clue how to make a scary movie.

No it ain't no lie baby, Bye, Bye, Bye.

A Phelous horror review? I always appreciate these. Love the Dingo reviews and Bootleg Zones but I definitely miss when these were more the norm.

What do you think I am, a flashlight?

Owwww, have mercy, Phelous. This review was a real BANG BANG.

Damn! I feel like it's been ages since you've done something like this. I miss this type of content 😔 Love this one ♥️

Ah, yes, the sequel to Hello Neighbor.
