The Only Film Genre That Gets You To Root For The Bad Guy - After Hours 

On the last point - both men appeared on a sitcom together making me crazy as I could not remember which of them starred in Cemetery Man. I finally looked it up & it was Rupert Everett. So now there are three of them.

@@marccolten9801 -- It's been said (by SNL) that Rupert Everett is the Gay Dermot Mulroney.

@@jondunmore4268 I love the SNL Sketch "Dylan McDermott or Dermott Mulroney"

Lauren T they got that idea from this show.

And John Cusack is bad. Just bad.

The internet changed. Now everything is gatekept by social media. That's why everything is pictofacts. Articles and longer form videos don't work on instagram and Twitter

I know right? they're so cute together

Oh for fuck's sake! You are not going to make me ship this! No fucking way! Absolutely not! . . . It's already too late isn't?

+Palmtop Tiger ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I ship it!

now now children, rule number 1 of shipping, no shipping real life people.... (no matter how cute they are togeather

All of that makes me feel that it doesn’t count as a romcom. Not much is at stake in the film and frankly, much as I enjoyed watching the film, it’s not that funny at all. It’s more of an indie slice-of-life film, the kind that Edward Burns would make.

Greek Americans find that it stereotypes them as dysfunctional families.

@@darlalathan6143 to be fair, I feel like any family that lives in America is slightly of not completely dysfunctional, so, like, they made a real American film.

I can ruin that movie for you, the actress who plays the protagonist is the writer of that movie and she didn’t just write herself as the Cinderella kind of fairytale princess but also she wrote in a very handsome man to be her prince charming and gave him her husband’s real life name, and if that’s not enough she made her husband who’s an actor play the role of that Prince Charming’s best friend and forced him to watch first hand his wife kissing a man who is the exact opposite of himself, tall with long flowing hair and a very handsome face. The worst part is, that the whole “my big fat greek wedding” plot is based on what her husband actually did in real life, her husband actually converted to Greek orthodoxy so he could marry her, and he was Jewish (Conversion is much more difficult for jewish people)

What makes it work is that the conflict of the movie has basically nothing to do with the relationship, but instead with the family.

Only the woman. She always has a decent guy she inevitably dumps for her "true love". The guy almost never has a girl friend unless she is dead, gone or a complete bitch. If the guy dumped a nice girlfriend there'd be hell to pay.

@@marccolten9801 Yeah, I'm thinking you don't watch a lot of romcoms. The guy has also has the dull/boring girl or the silly/bimbo who clearly isn't up to the heroine's standards. My Best Friend's Wedding was the best subversion/aversion of this

Well that's part of a long running effort in literature, movies and pop culture to promote the idea that cheating and adultery are OK

Watch Chris Evans movie

Agreed. And it's always treated like true love prevailing or something.Always annoys me.

For example in this episode, the woman looks at Daniel and makes a cross because she sees him talking to himself.

I like this theory and would like to hear more evidence.

But what if all of us are inside Daniel's head? D:

Well he is an actor and he has watched a shit load of TV and written a shit load about TV. It probably is the case he's been trying to foster this alternate subplot for this series for a very long time. He is a damn good writer and loves these sorts of theories.

This theory sounds like a cracked video

I hate to say it, but . . . You know, the guy that wrote that does not believe that men and women can be friends? But you're right, THE CHARCTERS were mutually supportive non-monsters!

@@billskinner7670 It's the case for a lot of people

yeah the Predator was a very honorable hunter

In every Batman episode/movie/game with the Joker, we always root for the Joker.

jirodyne That's just because the Joker is charming and funny...... Like Handsome Jack in Borderlands 2..... Not the Pre-Sequel......

Watching GI Joe cartoons as a kid I always rooted for Cobra.

That´s awesome it means you´ve seen movies with good writing it´s not incredibly easy to root for the hero because the villain is kindaa right or you understand where he comes from

Clarissa R Best line of the film. Will you marry me, because I want to date you. Sure they fell in love, but there's almost no way for her to pass the engagement test because she spent the whole time campfire dancing and trying to feed a dog to a hawk.

While You Were Sleeping: Sandra Bullock cuddles up to a rich guy's traumatized family while he's in a coma not sleeping. If he'd died they could have had a life insurance fraud sequel.

True, true.

Right? She pulls short hair off really well

That vest made her look like Liza MinnellI

You've got something on your neck, Brian.

Yeah she do.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah! Dimwit mulch money. Anyway...

I have to re-watch this anytime I watch the Dylan McDermott Or Dermot Mulroney SNL sketch.

You don't watch much Cracked, do you?

I love you 😂😂😂😂

Well in Frozen there's the sort of love interest who is half secretly in a relationship with a reindeer. Ha. I win.

lol. next on after hours. also love your screen name.

I honestly root for Hans in Frozen for a royal leader...but he may go a bit far with actually killing them, im sure if he just waited long enough....

His reaction shots are usually one of the best things about After Hours. He can make chewing look funny.

totally hilarious!

Yeah. They've got really good chemistry.

He does that in most of these videos. I honestly can't tell if it's in the script or if he's breaking character when he does it because the timing is perfect and it looks sincere.

Really???!!!!

Yeah I mean it was made clear that the bet was wrong and he had to make up for it, at least

Taming of the shrew is in itself extremely sexist

No one cares

@@manasim.9936 Thankfully, "10 Things I Hate about You" was not.

Punch drunk love -- the best of the (non Christopher Reeve) Superman movies and a good Adam Sandler movie.

@Laverne Blaszczyk what about 50 first dates?

I like Funny people. Is...is that bad?

You mean Bandersnatch Cummerbund?

yeah him Heather Dew

+Heather Dew I believe he was referring to Bendadick Cumburnedbuns

Vandersnoot Cabbagepatch? Love him.

shit these jokes are terrible

"All I Wanna Do Is Grow Old With You" (instant tears)

My boyfriend sang that to me on our anniversary.....oh the feels!

Wedding Singer is probably one of the few romantic comedies that doesn't leave me horrified at the main couple. They are both two genuinely nice people that find each other after having to spend time with horrible people, one even actually leaves the person she was going to marry on the alter on the wedding day, the person should be able to figure out that they don't want to be with that person before the day of the wedding when everything is paid for and it just embarrasses the person that was dumped. That was one of the reasons why I couldn't get behind Mary Jane and Peter in the Tobey Maguire version of Spider-Man. Mary Jane was about to marry a boring but nice guy whose family was paying for the entire wedding, but dumps him at the last minute for Peter. I mean it is shown that she was hesitant about marrying the guy and really wanted Peter. She could have any chance before the wedding day.

So true! Movies use that plot device way too often. If you're having serious doubts about your relationship, you need to actually say something before hand. Also, it's always the brides who run away and leave the guy at the altar. Way to make men hate women even more, Hollywood.

*slips into After Hours mode* But they aren't nice people finding love. They're people in committed relationships (Barrymore at least) looking for something else. If she doesn't love the guy she's with she should leave him. She shouldn't just wait around for someone to sing to her on a plane. And as far as Sandler goes he's overstepping his bounds. It's not his place to decide that the man she's with isn't good enough for her so he gets to break up their relationship. Contrary to what romantic comedies teach us you should only be seeking out a relationship if you aren't already in one. If you are either work on that relationship or end it. Don't immediately move on to the first guy who holds a boom box over his head. *I felt Katie working through me on that one, any of you guys feel that?*

Equality bitchez.

While i can't help but agree, let's keep the negativity out now that we actually got some after hours...

Most things with Dan in it is quality.

+shadowzeal so true

yay it the best

Thank you, for your valuable opinion, it will change this channel for the better.

Just about anything is allowed with shipping

+Mana Crack very true 😄

+Dorie Bixby not true. I'm in some fandoms that would hint me down and kill me if i supported certain ships.

Hopeless Enough But really, if you did support them, there are probably others who do too.

+Dorie Bixby honestly how could you not? dan has this adorable mopey charm about them and those arms soren not really into him but he does have great body #BodyGoals i can see it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

MagnetoDorito I prefer to not watch it and assume that's what happens.

That movie is fun for its ridiculousness, but then they didn't know how to end it. "I'm super mad at you for using me for work even though I was only dating you for work!"

I don't know.

+YumLemmingKebabs enough to ruin a wedding

Her short hair is heavenly

more like Katie Madow

Esteban Montelongo Hey-o! (Although I like Rachel Maddow's "up-do" a bit more. Really suits her.)

Same. This is like cliffnotes of the cinema convos I’ve had with friends

I will say that Hitch is actually a rom com where the people aren't villians, Hitch does believe in what he sells, he sells opurtunity, he sets people up and gives them advice to get them through dates, specifically with romance and not just sex in mind, because dating can be terrifying and go wrong, but getting your foot in the door can get you started Hitch is about an expert that is slightly disillusioned about his field, getting involved himself and, after hiccups, finding happiness and learning more about said field of expertise. Hitch is about a man trying to control relationships, not because he is evil, but because they are hard, and fail often, so he tries to help people start meaningful ones, or at least improve their odds, and in the course of teh film his own aibility to mangage a relationship is challenged, and he is forced to confront his own flaws and be more honest, not because his attempts to help people were wrong, but because life, and relationships aren't so simple and sometimes you need to take a chance to have any chance. The woman (cant remember character, I think she was played by Rachel Dawson?) is worse but not unbeleivable, she takes a bunch of Hitch's gestures badly, because of mistakes on his part, and after he appologizes she respects the spirit they were given in, but her attempt to ruin Hitch (before she knew he was the same as the guy she was dating) was because a friend blamed him for a manipulative boyfriend (when If I remember correctly the man was not coached by hitch ever, and only mentioned him as "thanks Hitch" in the girlfriends hearing, the girlfriend (or Dawson) latched on to this but it was probably sarcastic, refering to how he either didn't need hitch to get that far or upset that he didn't get the coaching to get farther, any info he got from hitch was likely freely available advice from whatever advertising he had, rather than anything like advice from the man himself)... IN any case ?Dawson? sets out to ruiin Hitch instead of suppporting her friend or looking into the manipulative jerk who used her, turining a op ed piece of journalism into a vandetta and potential slander campain, only stopped because Hitch confronted her If there was anything wrong with Hitch it was that it focused too much on the idea of men as the instigators and women as the recievers in a relationship. It puts all the pressure on men for a relationship to start at all, and makes women passive and helpless when the "wrong" kind of guy succeeds. Relationships need give and take Hitch shouldn't have felt that grand gestures were teh only way to "win" Dawson's attention, the film shows he was wrong, but only because those gestures weren't "honest" but his almost getting run over to see her was fine, as he gave his "hope you can fly speech". It flies because it is a romcom and because Hitch still has the tendency to go overboard but what really grinds my gears is that Dawson never apologizes, or aknowolges her faults at any point, including planing on ruining a man on the words of a jerk that just dumped her friend after manipulating her so he could sleep with her, and if it weren't for Hitch's tendency for grand gestures for them to have a big talk she might of gon on to permanently ruin him, and far more relationships than the one that hitch managed to help by actually talkin to the woman involved

Only one I can think about is either Sleepless in Seattle or When Harry Met Sally and I'm fairly sure you could point out something there.

ackbarfan5556 sleepless in Seattle? Meg Ryan becomes obsessed with Tom Hanks over the radio, stalks him and his child cross country, and becomes emotionally unavailable to her fiancé before she breaks up with him.

As far as I'm concerned, yes! Unless they fail to do their jobs to make the villain(s) come off as horrifying and genuinely evil and the protagonists and, at least most of, the victims sympathetic.

The protagonists are often so unsympathetic in those films.

Meira Goldberg ^satan is in every face

He's the best character in these videos

He was awesome in the Buddy Holiday movie.

Didn't actually watch the video huh?

+Brandon Binczak Did you? The Cracked Team didn't mention "When Harro Met Salma" this time around.

i love that movie soo much

Shit my bad, he said You've Got Mail. Which to be fair is pretty much the same movie.

Well, the guys and gals can never be friends is kinda jerky. But the plot is pretty harmless.

Yah.

Cool

holy shit.. Right before watching this video i was just looking at your work and following you on the socials. Weirdest coincidence.

Can I have your number?!

Robert Jay Dude,don't be creepy.

A lie is one thing. What really irks me is when a rom-com romance is based around something deeply unethical, like in "The Proposal" where Sandra Bullock is a boss forces her assistant to act as her fiancé so she doesn't get deported, threatening to ruin the assistant's career if he doesn't play along. Or that one where Sandra Bullock pretends to be the fiancée of a man with whom she's never interacted before, only to fall for his brother instead while the first guy is in a coma. Good lord, Sandra Bullock is worse than Julia Roberts when it comes to her rom-com characters...

dat boii been bulkin

all kinds of gains

all kiinds

The android got an upgrade.

+allthe banter lol. sounding like some HodgeTwins

Or he was a father who didn't have as much money as his ex to hire as good of lawyers got rail roaded in court who was bias against his transgenderisum and openly homosexual brother who I am sure he used as a charector witness. His depression and lack of emplyment consistency was also unfairly used against him. These things only got better for him at the end of the movie when he openly dressed as his female self Mrs.Doubtfire. He was never shown to be a threat to his children only a threat to what the courts deemed to be a worthy man/father. Also the Mom started dating her coworker awfully quick and became engaged even quicker, affair maybe? Either way Robin Williams was a great entertainer and most of his movies had darker tones to them if you looked past the funny voices and faces.

Also when that movie was made custody 85% of the time went to the woman.

@@nicoleackerman205 Actually, when that movie was made, in the majority of divorces in America, which involved minors, both parents usually shared custody.

He didn't know he was allergic and tried to save him

Awesome Trilogy with You've got mail.

+Robert Davidson while You've Got Mail is about not that great people.... I'm not really seeing how the people in SiS or JvV are villainous.

Pretty Woman?

Kind of a big blindspot that they mentioned the incredibly forgettable You've Got Mail while omitting the classic it was inspired by with Sleepless in Seattle.

AegonSnow They aren't. I was just remarking on how the three films make a great trilogy about soul mates.

Yeah, she's in a lot of these!

+DawnViolet I hadn't noticed! I love her!!!! And she's so talented and so beautiful

She also draws a lot of the artwork in the show!

+Michael Swaim she's just the coolest

I like artwork!

S-T-A-L-K-I-N-G

yeah they kinda are

How so Hitch is just a good guy that gives who we assume to be good people the proper advice to make their dates go successful so they won't have to deal with heart break like he has dealt with it in the past ?

hitch gets paid to set people up that wouldn't go out with each other otherwise. teaches guys how to manipulate women. how is that not evil?

godrickshallow He doesn't manipulate them, he just has the guys present themselves in the best light.

Was hoping someone else did too

It's like a weord RU-vid Easter egg I love it

I'm secretly in every youtube video.

+Starline Hodge rumoured to be in the post credits scene for table talk for your solo movie

I hope you're careful in the ones with exploding stuff.

CJ Nicosia adam sandler's character forced that girl to wake up everyday next to a stranger. he obsessed over her, basically forced her to fall in love with him, instead of just leaving her alone.

but she remembered him and was happy. was it better that her entire family lied to her everyday for over a year to hide part of her life from her?

CJ Nicosia She did not remember him. That's literally the plot. At the end, when she wakes up on the boat, she has to assume everything on the tape is real, with no memory of this man and these children.

She did remember him. He left her for months while he went researching, but she was still painting his face. There was a lot wrong with that movie, but that part was okay.

What about it?

I think they just were looking for the ones that they could tear down. This show is notorious for bending the truth to fit their argument. Like with the Creepy Sitcom Characters one they mention Uncle Phil being evil and use that clip when he says he'd beat Will, only if you saw the clip, you would know that the scene was being told from Will's perspective to a judge to help his case.
