I love how the logical guy isn't even particularly frightened but rather just mildly annoyed. As if he's lived through hundreds of horror movie scenarios and is just over it.
@@rajalaireya1748 especially if she is a good looking blonde. Well.. alien vs predator 2 actually killed of their hot bimbo Blondie quite fast tbh. The only cool death on that movie
At first, I thought the dumb guy was supposed to be the smart guy. Like, "Why did he answer the phone in such a nonchalant fashion? Why is he announcing everything he is doing? This guy seems very clever."
Thing is, the idiot was actually doing something very smart by narrating his every move. The ghost will never attack the excessively silly character who is blatantly revealing his position to everyone else, that's why it waited until he started going silent to kill him
That actually makes sense. If the guy is actively narrating his every move, then people will hear him go quiet and know exactly where the killer is. When the killer's main tactic is getting people away from the group and killing them off without revealing themselves. It actually kinda works.
okay but in horror movie people's defense that's sort of the first thing that pops up in your head for whatever stupid reason 🤣, i've done it before accidentally and i hated myself immediately afterwards
When you aren't alone in the house (even after you're aware that a murderer is loose), trying to verify that the sound you just heard was the murderer or one of your pals is sensible. It's also a fairly sensible response. You hear noise, you try to confirm it's your fellow human here on a cordial visit, rather than anything hostile. No response means likely hostile or an animal.
I wanna see this guy in a serious horror flick where everyone does the illogical "horror movie logic" but he saves them all and the killer gets so infuriated that he just blows his own brains out.
Don't forget, when someone escapes, they decide to turn around and "save the others still trapped" instead of calling for help like a logical normal human being.
@@matttale7918 or in a similar version, they escaped for good (and didnt call anyone to rescue the others), returning as the old & cryptic expert of said horror, which was previously sealed away but now discovered again by the mcs that come looking for them.
I'm a somewhat logical guy and I gotta say that if I realised that I was in a horror movie I wouldn't act logically at all, I'd be way too occupied with the existential dread that comes with realising that my life is lie and nothing more than a figment of somebody's imagination created purely for the sake of suffering just so millions of people can watch it to popcorn
well you gotta make it good! do you wanna be the character everyone hates that sits around and becomes meta or do you wanna be a icon. (as a note you'd also question if you are the main character that survives though I guess either way you can die good or live good to be iconic )
Okay, well, you have some time now to grapple with the idea and make your peace with it. I mean, what great significance did you think your life had anyway in the grand scheme of things as you presently perceive them?
I like to imagine the thoughts running through his head being something along the lines of " just let it happen just let it happen it's natural selection you can get a new roommate"
It's especially frustrating when you find yourself in a bad UK horror movie, where the plot relies entirely on spectacularly stupid or cowardly characters.
@@Jacob-zk1jy agree, there are lots of good ones. Vanishing in the 7th Street also not that dumb (except that one nigga boii at the end who fucks up everything, damn brats), a show called Another is also offering a horror without relying on the jump scares. Smart horror movies are indeed exist
I thought the red shirt guy was gonna walk around the corner while dragging the guy in the sheet, and it would be revealed that he stabbed the guy in the sheets.
This is exactly why I can't get into most horror movies. When the obvious solution is for just ONE person to have a gun with them, it's not scary anymore.
Just transpose the setting! 😆 Outside of a gun club meeting or gang house, I'm struggling to think of any context here in NZ where even one person present would be likely to be strapped. Maybe a rural area might have hunting rifles stowed away somewhere? Honestly, assuming anyone WOULD have one is such an American thing! 🙈
@@anna_in_aotearoa3166 XD I unapologetically admit, it is a very American view. I'd give credit to movies that take place elsewhere in the world, I suppose. But where I grew up, it was so normal to just see people with guns on their hip, or learn that your coworker keeps a loaded AK in the trunk of their car, that it's hard for me to accept nobody just happens to have a gun around. Camping trip? There are guns. Road trip? At least one sidearm. Trip to the grocery store? Loaded handgun under the shirt. To make this even more ludicrously American, I'll tell you in all seriousness... I know of an offer to sell a shotgun that took place in a McDonald's drive-thru. This isn't a joke, though I do find it hilarious.
Honestly, I would have expected the opposite: "Those noises, there must be some serial killer running around the house" - "You need to grow up. Serial killers are extremely rare - there hasn't even been a regular homicide in this town in the last decade. This house is very old and hasn't been properly renovated, so that is probably what caused those sounds".
There’s a reason that all the smart/logical ones die first in these movies. They’re always skeptical that there’s even a threat. If they were to survive long enough to know that the threat is real, they’d probably thrive.
So the threatening calls from an unknown person were just a lack of renovations? Some people mistake "logical" with "delusional." If some creepy voice called and said they were inside my house, and then I heard footsteps and the floor creaking (assuming no one else was supposed to be in the house), it would be logical to assume that the person probably wasn't bluffing.
When it comes down to a horror situation it's always you either aren't apart of it or your already dead with your only hope of survival being pure luck
No one logical would assume they're in a horror movie, therefore i must assume the guy with the gun suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and just shot a figment of his imagination. I hope his more reasonable roommate is ok.
I mean those calls were pretty fuckin creepy. Sure, you won't assume you're in a horror movie, but there's like stalkers n shit irl. You can probably call the cops for that.
If you're ever in a situation where your friend survives the first 2-3 of these stupid mistakes, you need to acknowledge that you're *NOT* the protagonist, *THEY* are and you need to leave right then and there, go out of state and stay there until that shit blows over.
is it a ghost, though? or just someone pretending to be a ghost? I think that costume is just a symbolic stand-in for virtually any horror-movie villain who would behave similarly to the character in the sketch here . . . . like, no-face; no clearly-defined human silhouette; just a vague form that a human could fit into: insert-your-villain-here
even - or especially - if the villain looked exactly like that, wouldn't the logical person assume it's just a human in a sheet? I don't think he'd bother about a gun if it appeared to be an actual ghost, and I'm not sure that a ghost who wants to scare and hurt people would in most cases reasonably wear a conspicuous sheet just so its intended victims could see where it was; if it wants to 'play a game', it would make a point of trying to have more fun than that, yes?
Excellent job my black shirt to get rid of his dumb roommate red shirt. He even cleaned up the evidence so that he is the only one with the murder on his conscience. Bravo
A real villain, able to take out the roommate, but instead dancing through all the tropes first, just to torment the smart fellow who's forced to watch.
It would be a wonderful subversion of the horror genre and likely offer a fresh perspective on said genre, but we apparently can’t have nice things. Looking at you entertainment industry.
Plot twist: The logical thinking one is the red shirt guy. The person in the sheets is his daughter. The "horror movie" is that the guy in black is a paranoid psychopath.
Once when I was in college, I used to alot of volunteer work. One of the most awesome ones was to help break down and winterize a summer camp in rural Illionois. We pulled into the camp at like 2am. I walked inside the main building, and it was just a long hallway, with one safety light on at the end. I walked back out. Everybody asked me why: I was like, I'm the lone black guy, in a car with three blond white women, in the middle of the woods at idnight, and the only sign of life is a long stark hallway that looks like it was directed by Stanley Kubrik, so NO you all go find somebody!
I may not be the most logical person, but I would have called the cops when he said he’s in the house. Nope Edit: Thx for over 500 likes! I've never had some many likes in my entire life!
@@Utubesuperstar To be fair if you are in a Horror Movie, then calling the Cops is useless. They either take ages to arrive, will not belief you or just die shortly after they arrive. Cops really do not work well in Horror Movies. Best option would be to hide/run from or to fight back the Attacker, depending on what kind of thing is hunting you.
@@darkblossum4379 In the god awful event that I have a situation similar to that or a home invasion that person is going to get shot by me multiple times 911 is mostly to say hey I’m gonna shoot this guy send people
If he's in the house, then I'm not. I'm running out of there and if i end up dead in the process then it's just natural selection at that point cause it takes ages for the police to get there and it only takes a few seconds to kill someone
@@Toasty_Mr.Marsh_ well actually tbh if this was real I’d assume the “dumb” one was just pranking the “smart” one... but then he got shot by his paranoid roommate
I was half expecting the ghost to come out like "So you're looking for a new roomate?". Like this could be the pilot for a sitcom where the guy lives with a ghost and everyone is just a typical horror movie stereotype, like priests or exorcists would come to the door frequently like "I've heard you had a certain...paranormal problem?" and he just slams the door on their face every time.
I don't watch horror much, but I have seen any horror movie ever, so I technically qualify for that ad. But, uh, I have seen any horror movie ever, so I know not to answer it.
You wouldn't even get to the horror movie in the first place if you were the logical one because it's always in the most predictable place in the most predictable way.
By the rate at which Zach is able to produce these things, I'm guessing he can see literally anything and honestly think to himself "I can make a satire skit on that somehow."
Actually, the dumb one was really smart in second move. I thought he was dumb enough to expect the villain to answer him while saying "Hellooo!" But actually, speaking loudly on the phone would channel his voice on the other end revealing where the villain is, or at least his phone. And considering how short the call was, i.e., how far the villain has gone since he put down the phone, even if he left it and was plan was steps ahead, his estimate location would be narrowed down, or some locations ruled out. He was actually acting dumb (I love Zach btw, I obviously mean the character), actively to distract the villain from thinking he would come up with such a clever plan. He was even raising his voice to execute his plan, a smart ploy, executed at the moment of a numbly dumb dialogue, where no "pro gamer move" step was even expected! It's one of those situations where being too dumb is counter-intuitively a very smart move.
(besides, the characters ought to have different names or at least distinctions - like shirt colours - than just the actor's name, to avoid confusion . . . . it might have been clearer to have just said something like 'I love Zach's acting', presuming that's what you actually meant)
. . . nvm; just got it; you were trying to say that you don't mean to insult the actor; the 'he' who 'was acting dumb' was 'the character' . . . but still, your phrasing there was quite ambiguous 😅😅; it might have been less confusing to just leave out the parenthesised aside altogether cuz what comes after gives enough context in that you explicitly describe the character's behaviour
anyway, I like your alternative interpretation of why the ostensibly naïve character behaved as he did; that's a clever thought: 'being too dumb is counter-intuitively a very smart move'
There at that sound effect 3:10 I got a notification and it surprised me, it was like right in cue a bright light flashed my face as I was brushing my teeth and not paying attention. Also no joke I have a classmate like that, she’s honestly the worst
