>it's a comedy
>it works because its a comedy
>because ITS A COMEDY
What is their obsession with swearing that classic action/adventure movies with comedic elements are pure comedies? They said the exact same shit about Ghostbusters, ignoring all the action and heroic elements just to repeat over and over that its just a dry comedy. Like Gb, Back to the future is clearly NOT a pure comedy, not even close. What is the root of this idealogy?
maybe you should stop consuming media that upsets you so much
Manchildren are allergic to sincerity.
>>211938011 (OP)Because it is a comedy with science fiction theming. Most of the memorable scenes are the comedic bits.
How is this not a comedy?
>>211938011 (OP)I would argue it's a comedy/adventure but it certainly leans more into being a comedy, pretty much every scene has something humorous about it. It gets away with not having particularly deep explorations of its time travel because its meant to be first and foremost a fun comedic adventure. I don't get why you are so triggered by this
>>211938011 (OP)It is a comedy though
>>211938061someone should really do a research paper on the hate-watching phenomenon
>>211938011 (OP)What do you expect, Mike admitted to having never seen a movie made before 1977
>>211938011 (OP)I would consider back to the future a light hearted adventure. Especially the 2nd and 3rd. Shit are they going to do 3 episodes of this?
>>211938125GenX especially
>>211938594>>211938764No fan of this movie has ever brought it back to how hilarious it is. That's not what its remembered for at all.
Nah. Ghostbusters is a comedy(considering the whole thing is a vehicle for established comedians). BTTF is an adventure movie. Not that much of it is trying to be all that funny. Watching Christopher Lloyd get shot by terrorists sure isn't funny. Biff is just barely a humorous character.
>>211938011 (OP)jesus, what's up with the level of media literacy on this board?
>>211939276>That's not what its remembered for at all.Then what is it remembered for?
>>211939876The plot. The cool factor of the DeLorean time machine.
It's got jokes in it, but during none of those movies are you laughing, when they hit their dramatic peaks.
i think i get you, OP. as a kid i never realised Ghostbusters was a comedy. yeah it had comedy stuff, but so did EVERY film. it was some type of fantasy adventure flick. i mean, is Willy Wonka a comedy? The Adventures of Robin Hood? Star Wars?
but as an adult, i see Ghostbusters is 100% a comedy film, main purpose is to make you laugh. and it does.
>>211939876The story, McFly, the Delorian, the ending at the clock tower, "1985", 1.21 gigawatts, a list of stuff that does not include the comedic aspects. I've never heard anyone bring up back to the future because of how funny it is. Ever.
>>211938011 (OP)I'll give you that Back of the Future is an adventure first and foremost, but Ghostbusters is definitively a comedy.
>>211938011 (OP)Why even bother reviewing a film when both agree itโs perfect and all they do is make the most banal points regarding it?
>>211940147it reminds me of those weird ESL videos.
>He Goes To the Past But His Own Mother Falls In Love With Him!!Mike just states the plot. is it so the YouTube generation doesn't 'have to' watch the film, or some shit? how are they ALLOWED to make money off this? it's not even some elaborate fan film or documentary, it's talking heads. they didn't get permission (right?)
>>211938011 (OP)>>211938911Why is he so fucking red
Surely I wasn't the only one distracted by how red he was in this video
>>211939620>>211940044I agree that Ghostbusters is funny as hell, the writing is top notch and the performances are perfect. I was more referencing how they drew some type of line in the sand that you couldn't get anything else out of it.
>>211940147>Why even bother reviewing a film when both agree itโs perfect and all they do is make the most banal points regarding it?What? A review doesn't always have to be both sides are on the opposite. It was always a thing for a movie to be good with commercials saying "Two Thumbs Up!" from Siskel and Ebert. Zoomers wouldn't remember this as both guys have been dead for some time now especially Siskel who died in the early 2000's.
>>211940929is it even a "review"? do they claim to be reviewers?
imagine this in text, in a newspaper or something.
or hell just listen to/watch someone like Mark Kermode.
>>211938011 (OP)How hard did they have to hold it in to not mention that Biff's arc in the sequel is based on Drumpf?
>>211941059they put together two little clips of the Twin Pines/Lone Pines Mall thing, so you'd know that they knew.
entry-level easter egg. for guys 'noticing' things, why did none of them point out the back of the newspaper?
>>211938011 (OP)The antagonists literally gets covered in cow shit. It's a comedy.
>>211938011 (OP)Periodic quips that fit into lifelike moments. Comedic not full comedy.
>>211940929I never said that, just that if you're going into a review of a film just casually stating 'it's a perfect film', what more is there to discuss?
>>211941481You talk about what makes it perfect in your opinion.
>>211938011 (OP)>tries to write of the criticisms of the ending as 'it's a fairy tale'in most fairy tales when the good king or queen topples the evil usurper, they act kind and righteously, whereas the father is as big as dickhead as biff was.
>>211941531Which they barely did, this video is not at all different from any of the hundreds of other slop where they drool over BttF.
>>211938011 (OP)why don't you write this in their youtube comments section, they read them.
>>211940998The show is called review
>>211941135That was ironic punishment after an action chase scene you bozo.

>>211938011 (OP)For me, it's Jay's obsession comparing every horror, thriller, and/or mystery film to Cube.
>>211938011 (OP)Is BTTF not a comedy? What else is it?
>>211943439Its an action adventure film. It has humor in it. Virtually every action/adventure movie in the 80s had humor. That doesn't make it a comedy. Nobody thinks comedy when they think of back to the future.
Biff gropes and is going to rape Lorraine (this is in the supposed comedy btw) and is then knocked out by George
Retarded RLM audience
>Hahaha dat was so funny da way the big bully was knocked out by skinny dork guy LOL
Non-retarded general audience
>Moment of triumph and catharsis that George not only stood up for himself, but inadvertently saved his son Marty, leaving folks watching uplifted
>>211938011 (OP)I hate woke era RLM as much as the next anon, but one of them literally refers to it as an "adventure" film in the video.
>>211943800This is the issue. Rlm feel like acknowledging moments of heroism and triumph in these movies equate to some type of low iq popcorn eating retard reaction to these moments, so they gatekeep in the most retarded way by claiming that these movies are just dumb comedies and should only be enjoyed as such.
>>211943981Okay but what's the overall take away? Think of their shitty video like a blender. What do you taste afterwards? There's an overwhelming texture, taste and smell of standard RLM homo insincerity
>>211943981They refer to it as a comedy at least 4 times in the same video.
>>211943564For the Golden Globes it was nominated in Musical or Comedy categories and it's no musical. BttF is a comedy franchise.
>>211944084>For the Golden Globes it was nominated in Musical How can you retype this with a straight face. Having memorable music does not make BTTF a musical.
>>211944084You just proved my point. Having music doesn't make it a musical the same way having jokes doesn't make it a comedy.
>>211944084The "music and comedy" category was made to protect the oscar fodder, when sometimes, those same musicals or comedies should've won best picture.
>>211944219A musical is people singing songs that relate to the story and express the emotions the character through than just spoken word.
This entire thread wreaks of RLM contrarianism for sake of hating on them.
>>211944312>nooooo you can't be critical of le heckin' wholesome reddit letter media!
>>211944374Only proving my point
>>211944403You know it's possible for creators to lose the plot, right? You should know because of George Lucas.
>>211944403You're proving his. Rlm sucks.
>>211944312Nobody thinks of back to the future as a comedy. Simple as.
I haven't watched these guys in years and I don't want to either. It looks like they are getting worse and worse. 1.5 hour movie discussion, who has that time.
>>211944224Itโs also used as category fraud when Drama is too stacked. See: The Martian
>>211938011 (OP)for the same way you're swearing this is some kind of action movie, it has as many comedic elements as it does action.
this is why caring about what people think is gay and stupid. because most people are gay and stupid and are subject to the same illogical fallacies as the next individual thats gay and stupid.
this reminds me of back in high school when a friend of mine told me to watch firefly and when i told him it was funny he got all butthurt about it and said if i found it funny then i probably just dont like it. so i just never watched any more firefly because i didnt want to be that big of a faggot about it.
>>211944764Firefly is supposed to be funny. Your friend is an idiot.
Mike was literally quoting a film psychology podcast in this video kek
Can't even form his own opinion.
>>211944764Nobody is saying its not a funny movie, but they specifically frame it as a pure comedy in their review to overlook plot inconsistencies and contrivances that they would otherwise rip a movie over.
>sub 80 IQ monkeys think a comedy has to have you rolling on the floor to qualify as a comedy
>>211944982reminds me of the YouTube videos that just read out 4chan/Reddit/whatever posts
or "here's some shit about a video game from The Cutting Room Floor"
that podcast might be interesting, just link the podcast. and if it's an article, reading takes way LESS time than a video. fuck this everything-is-video-now internet, shit sux.
>>211945169>overlook plot inconsistencies and contrivances that they would otherwise rip a movie over.The Honeymooners episode they watch hadn't aired yet.
these guys make a big deal about the date being so specific, so it IS a mistake, one they should have researched.
>>211945169>>211945427Not to mention how if the scene where doc brown opens the letter despite having the whole plot revolve around not fucking with the future, then having him say "i figured what the hell" would have had them ripping the movie apart if it wasn't "a comedy". They are obsessed with setup and payoff. But its ok because its a comedy.
>>211945264The core function of the movie should be to make you laugh. The core of BTTF is a dramatic adventure story played straight. It's a film with jokes, but not a comedy.
You may also say the same about Jurassic Park or Indiana Jones. It was a Spielberg thing.
>>211938061>you should only listen to viewpoints you agree withNiggers say shit like this and think they sound smart.
loraine's dad says another one of those damn kids jumped in front of muh car implying that many peeping toms have fallen and multi kids know about peeping on that window

>>211945771>doc brown opens the letter despite having the whole plot revolve around not fucking with the future, then having him say "i figured what the hell" would have had them ripping the movie apart if it wasn't "a comedy".Its not out of character, its called character development. Doc Brown opening the letter is part of his character development of overcoming his fear of uncertainty and tampering with time travel, after having interacted with and developed a friendship with Marty in 1955.
Did Mike and Jay disagree about anything in this episode?
>>211946205It's a funny line. It doesn't make the film a comedy.
Is Star Trek 4 a comedy?
>>211938011 (OP)but Ghostbusters is a comedy
>>211946269I like that part of the movie, im not criticizing that. Im just pointing out that its exactly something they would hate under any other circumstances.
>>211946324I know, but their review states plainly that its all that movie has to offer and if you derive any other emotions from it or get any excitement out of the climax you are a popcorn eating retard lardass.
>>211946366right, gotcha bud
Rich Evans has been hospitalized after heat stroke, and the next video has been delayed indefinitely
BTTF is not a comedy. Just because it doesn't take itself seriously, does not mean it's trying to make you laugh every 5 seconds. Mike and Jay are the biggest midwits.
>>211938011 (OP)Why do they stop making movies?
>>211938011 (OP)it's a comedy. a comedy is a lighthearted tale with a happy ending. having dramatic elements does not preclude something from being a comedy. something being a comedy doesn't mean the plot exists just to deliver jokes and doesn't matter. the car failing to start during the climax isn't a joke, but it's still a comedic device in the classical sense because it's full of dramatic irony. the entire plot is full of it.
yes it's also a science fiction adventure. that has absolutely no bearing on whether it's a comedy or not. 'pure' doesn't factor into it, that distinction is fucking moronic. it's either a comedy or it isn't. if you actually believe that 'comedy' just refers to shitposts like airplane and anything else isn't 'pure' comedy then you're a retard who doesn't know how words work.
>>211949138Umm it's supposed to be a serious science fiction because I like posting on Reddit about how the time travel timeline must work in BTTF.
>>211938011 (OP)I think it's a desire to express that something can be a comedy and still be taken seriously or be valid as a good film.
They are basically saying, "You like this movie? Well guess what that means you believe comedy is high art."
Part 2 > Part 3 > Part 1
They're all good though
>>211946281Jay said it was a perfect movie
Mike said there is no such thing as perfect
Jay agreed
>>211938011 (OP)i have trouble sometimes categorizing downloaded moobies into genre folders so i made a hierarchy and comedy is #2 which means shit like rush hour and beverly hills cop are in that folder
>>211938011 (OP)they're comparing it to modern comedies, which are considerably less funny than Back to the Future
>>211951567Categorizing films is a fools errand. Just sort by alphabetical and be done with it.
>>211951839nah its worth it. i only have 8 genre folders and its easy enough. first one it fits into best, it goes in:
horror>comedy>fantasy>scifi>martial arts>thriller>action>drama
>>211949138They presented it as a "pure" comedy, not anyone in this thread. By your logic all the Indiana Jones movies are comedies, which nobody would ever claim.

It's a movie about a slutty mom wanting to fuck her son so he plans to molest her in order to get her to fuck his dad instead. It's a comedy
>>211938712I'd say it gets away with not exploring its time travel mechanics because it doesn't actually care about that navel gazing bullshit and wants to tell a character story rather than paper over bad science with cliche scmaltz like oh say Nolan.

I didnt care for the 2nd movie that much. I think biff is a lame character and the whole future biff world was boring as shit
Stop saying it's a fucking adventure movie. Adventure is not a genre. It's a comedy with a touch of sci-fi and coming of age elements.
>>211938011 (OP)I remember watching BTTF as a young adult and thinking at the end... wait...this is a completely different family than the one Marty grew up with yet he has a new truck and his family is wealthy so that is supposed to make it better? They fired Eric Stoltz for coming to the same conclusion lol.
Every video they like to mock certain types of commenters, like in this video they make rhe dumb guy voice and mock them "they didnt mention the door was an accident, how could they not know" etc.
Where do they even see these types of comments? The YT comments are bot like and obsessively praiseworthy and just repeated stuff they said in the video or lame attempts at RLM related jokes.
Elsewhere like here youll see actual arguments against their opinions, but funny rhey never seem to read comments that make good points against them.

>>211939620Ghostbusters takes all the ghostbusting stuff seriously since Dan Aykroyd believes in all of that stuff and based the ghost blowjob on something that happened to one of his ghost hunting ancestors.
